Rather as second-degree mail matter September 17, 1906, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the net of March 3, 1907 WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1926 THE CONTESTANTS Again the University triumph This time it is in the cultural debt for out of four who have won the right to represent four states in the music finals in the semicentennial exposition at Philadelphia, two will be University people, students in the School of Fine Arts. The University is proud of Mies Marchell and Miss Alison. Their acuteness represents not just a few years of effort, but a constant endeavor extending over many years of hard work, of discouragement, and of skills and arigues, technical exercises, and other uninterrupting phases of study through which only a few survive to reach their goal of art. But the University is not only proud of those students, but in the background it see the structures who have directed, encouraged, and have sent these young people opened into these currents. It is a gift to them that half of the representation of four states are their pupils. Now the opportunity lies for the University to show its appreciation. Tightly the contestants will play their contest numbers for the Lawrence public. A large attendance will show that the students have an interest in what these musicians have accomplished and what they are doing for the University. But it will also make the way clear for the contestants to enter the national content without any financial worries, and will allow them to concentrate on their efforts in putting the University on the map nationally as well as in the valley. It's a good thing Ferdinand didn't send for Marie after all for she probably wouldn't have gone. Sociologists tell us that the American Indian contributed corn to our present culture. Yes, but look how we have improved upon it. FARCE ELECTIONS Next Tuesday Mr. Average Citizen will go to the pails and do his best to strengthen out some of the worst political angles ever imagined. It is trusted that the social lives governing mass selection of the best possible solution will keep watch on election day. One of the most notorious cases needing such fortunate attention is the semantic race in Illinois. There the field of operations is so badly befuddled that veteran authorities on pre-election "depope" see no way clear, and bets are said to vary as do the number of individuals offering their opinions. Three men are in the race: George Breman, Democrat, and boss of the Chicago area; Frank L. Smith, Republican, dry, indoored by the Anti-Saloon League and recipient of the scandals Inault financial support; Hugh Mugi, independent Republican, dry, and a candidate in protest to the Public Utilities support of Smith. Party lines are destroyed by the prohibition issue and the added Smith-Insul scandal. Voting is anticipated on these latter bases. Consequently Breannan is expected to draw wet votes from both campus; perhaps sufficiently to defensitize Smith who is strong De Chicago. Smith will draw drizzles from both camps but not in lil bibbies, for he undoubtedly will lose some through being unable to over some the stigma of his support. Maill will receive the remaining dry votes that cannot stomach the Anti Salmon League endorsement of a candidate involved in a financial scandal. Predictions indicate that Smith and Brennan have each good chances, depending upon the extent that party lines do or do not fall. If the party lines remain, it is Smith, if they fail, it looks good for Breeman. That leaves the Magill factor. If Magill draws votes at all they will necessarily be dry ones, hence they will distract From Smith and increase Brennan's chances. Magill, therefore, here given no hope to win, is apt to sent a wet candidate paradoxically opposite to his very purpose for entering the race. This triple dilemma leaves the Illinois voter puzzler. Consequently the indications are that election day will see a wide-apread attitude of indifference in that state, thus once more giving machine politics just what it wants. Only when a crystallized public sensibility to its civic duties is here will the days of façal elections be over. John W. Nippa says that a thousand Chinese students are capable of making plenty of disturbance. Wonder how much disturbance a thousand Chinese law students could make. HORSE-PLAY The "eternal youth" was again manifested on the campus last Friday when the ancient heene was brought from oblission and placed triumphantly in front of Green hall. The engineers desire their exercise, however, marched across the campus, seized the prized possession, and hose it off to their own territory. Law students not to be outlaw by more engineers, naturally had to retrieve the heene. The legal-minded men, therefore descended upon the camp of the enemy in an attempt to confuse the property. Zeest was added to the event by the breaching of the tow line and the heave crashing into an automobile. Much fun, also resulted, by the car being damaged and its occupants jumped to the extent of serious consequences to health. Did the lawyers stay to argue their case? Some few of them did, while others dashed off, no doubt, to obtain more expert advice than even their superior intellect could furnish. Those who remained manfully "took the blame." But what recourse do those injured have? Where will the responsibility for the affair be placed? Will the whole group or some individual be blamed for it? On well, the members of the various groups must have their amusement, even at the expense of visitors to our campus. BUSINESS These are tomahawk days; Indian summer with a sting in it. Everything is being run on a business basis these days, even our governments. It is imperialism that has made the great nations of the world in spite of vehement protests of reformers and moralists. In the old days it was physical strength that determined who should survive, but today it is a contest of wits. It is a content of policies between nations as well as individuals coupled, of course, with favorable circumstances. Last year the entire American public, especially business and governmental circles, became somewhat wrought up over Great Britain's curtailment of rubber production. It was rather unpleasant for the manufacturer of rubber goods to pay $1.20 a pound for rubber, but on the other hand, the owners of the rubber plantations found it quite agreeable. No one heard them grumble, and if they cheaked they did it up their sleeve. The whole proposition was merely a piece of business strategy and America was the goat. But as a consumer of raw material America may expect as much.

Important business will be transmitted. All members and pledges are expected to be there. the British imperial conference now in session in London, America is to be made the post again. This time it is tin as well as rubber in which Great Britain holds a practical monopoly. American business, and the American government which represents it, of course will say that it isn't right. Maybe it is, and maybe it isn't, but anyway it is the policy of business, the very policy which we ourselves are pursuing when we erect a high triffit—only we are not so clever as the Britains. They make the other fellow pay, while we shift it to the shoulders of our own consumers. The price of tin has risen from 10 cents to around 70 cents a pound during the past two years, owing to a natural scarcity, and if the new plan goes into effect an early protest from America may be safely predicted, for the United States alone is accredited with 70 per cent of the world's consumption. If we are going to practice that kind of business we should at least try to refrain from speaking when we get stopped on. According to reports received from the postoffice at Columbus, Ohio, two and a half tons of mail are received from students of the University of Ohio. RUTH SHAW, President. Our Contemporaries (Goodland News Republic) To a Friend "I amCurried that you would any such a Ohnue about the University, and what is it?" he asked in a graph. "The sentence is taken from the letter of a friend who objects to the use of a couple of weeds; republic of a couple of weeks ago. The paragraph in question intimated that the substance is of considerable quantity of liquor is disposed of following every Kansai." Probably no one who has been at Lawrence or Columbia after one of the Thankgiving games would disagree. There is considerable drinking at K. U, just as there is at most other large schools. Our friend would not deny that. He simply objects to any subject. It is a thing to be judged in an The attitude is characteristic of university and college alumni. If you play football, you're in the football game or a party, for heaven's sake keep it quiet. Don't let the You, Friend, believe that the University can be best served by keeping its public name unintruded. We believe that it can be best served by giving it more power, thus forcing it even severe, has cleansing power. Surpression breeds decay. Loyalty, after all, is a thing to be interpreted. The best sort of paraphrase is "the faith of the faults of the home-land." And likewise the best sort of loyalty to one's alma mater is not that which is in accord with the faults of its cloak of silence.
