SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1926 THE VOTING PRIVILEGE In past national elections less than 60 per cent of the eligible voters have made the effort to go to the poli- Since their ballots must be split two or more ways it is evident that the minority governs. It has been proved that minority rule encourages machine politics and its evils. Every day attention of the public is drawn to some evidence of corruption. The surprising fact is that there is not more, for every encouragement is given to the political boss. But regardless of the situation, there is no justification for leaving the voting privilege to be exercised by the minority. A real democracy wherein equal opportunity to everyone is actual fact and not mere definition demands universal exercise of the franchise rights. For this reason it is obviously the duty of every university student of legal age to enter the politics Tuesday. Further, the greater impetus green students to learn and know political situations means that they owe their value to the direction of the nation's affairs. There is no better place to learn the funemasons of citizenship and its attendant duties than at school. And through practice they can best be established in the individual. New is the time for every University student of voting age to seek the polls for it is only through increasing intelligent use of the franchise privilege that true democracy can replace machine government and dictated elections. RELIGIOUS WEEK The Kansas City Star's Washington correspondent, corresponding from Boston, is worrying about "the disorganized and up to new hitherto silent senate opposition to the President." Is religious week an attempt to give students a special opportunity to be religious for just a week? Is it an attempt to condense what should be practiced throughout the year within a few days? It is nother of these. Those who sponsor the movement realize that religion is not a thing that can be effectively exercised only one week in the year. They realize that religion is a force that should affect us at all times. Even individuals varying in belief's from that of atheism to that of fundamentalism can agree that religion has been a dominant force in the world. The point of disagreement is to what end this force has been working, and what has been the basic element of it. This problem particularly concerns the student. If he previously had any definite ideas of any kind on religion he has found that at the University his beliefs have been considerably shaken up and laid bare to attack What he has formerly accepted will not do. Here the reactions are greatly varied. Some students pass from one extreme to another. A few of these hold to the second extreme tenuously, while others work back to various degrees along the middle ground. Some students let go their hold on their old beliefs only as they feel that they must in order to be honest with themselves. Thus these changes are only by degrees. Then there is the great number who after a few attempts decide that the truth is not worth seeking, and therefore an attitude of indifference to the whole question. The difficulty in the whole matter is that the student is inclined to go only so far in his thinking. Having decided what is the truth, he is likely to be as degratable as he was in his original belief. Or he may find that he cannot pursue the subject further if any satisfaction to himself. This is the difficulty with which those in charge of religious week concern themselves. While the point around which the activities of the week are centered is obviously on one side of the question, yet it will be exposed to criticism of all sorts. Those who are on the other side of the fence will have full opportunity to express and defend their convictions by challenging what is brought out during the meetings. While the purpose is to bring students in closer contact with religion it is to be accomplished in the intellectual combat between constructive and destructive reasoning. It looks as though the campaign for governor is going to center around the cleaning up of K. U. athletics, which probably need it less than a good many other things in the state. "REDDY" ROOSEVELT If Roosevelt should appear today and echo the measures which he advocated when he was president of the United States, he would shock, as sound and paralyze the American people, says William Allen White. "The various defense societies, security leagues, minute men of the republic and 100 per cent Americans would start a whispering campaign that his real name was Feeder Roosevsky and that he was sent here an agent of the bobbehskil," he continues. While Mr. White may be given slightly to exaggeration, his statement is not so far from the truth but that he, himself, and better have his family tree certified. "What," queries Mr. White, "would happen if the phrase 'predatory wealth' came: crashing from the White House today?" Well, a double set of cold shivers would probably play up and down the spine of Mr. Melton and Mr. Coolidge or the Official Spollensworth would probably deny the phrase the next day. "Booneveld stood in the court of democracy and thundered the truth about its corruption of King Demes in its teeth," says Mr. White, in reminding us that his radicallism embraces the support of child labor laws, the direct primary, the initiative and the recendum and the popular recall judgments. Possibly, Mr. White may safely espouse his hereditary opinions about a great grant伯待 before innocuous college students, but we warn him, in this day of Passive strikes and "Jesus justice," corruption of government officials, bought elections and bitter attacks upon the direct primary, the American public is not want to hear such arrogance. Oklahoma produced a bumper crop of cotton and suffered. But a guardian angel in the form of Lew Wentz, an oil millionaire, came to the rescue with $1,000,000 in cold, hard cash to lend for 18 months without interest which, added, to another million put up by Oklahoma banks, will stabilize the shaky market that has put cotton growers against the wall. BUMPER CROPS Oklahoma has been hazy, and the movement afoot to reduce the cotton crop 25 per cent next year shows that the Sooner state has learned the lesson that Kansas has been funkling or since the days of John Brown. Overproduction was saved by the generosity of a millionaire in Ocalahn. The Sooners got out back and don't do it again. Kansas has no millionaire 'angels' and so continues to repeat her mistakes and overproduce That is the reason she is drifting farther and farther from the path that millionaire producing state travel. When Kansas produces a bumper crop of wheat everyone cheers but people are beeping. Cartons picture a jablent farmer with big pockets bulging with money, the supposed result of the big crop. But or the farm the picture fails into what ever the farmer gets out of the publicity. The actual facts are that usually he loses money on bumper crops. ! ******************************************************************************* EXECUTE TODAY ADDITIONS.
