SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1926 OUR ANNUAL FALL SPORT Preliminary meetings, already foretell the coming of a new political campaign, and soon we shall be assailed with plans and platforms, advertisements and tags. Doubless there will be the usual inspiring rallies with effusive evidences of pop and enthusiasm. There will be masterful speeches, bands will play, and the excitement will be pitched to white heat by the final torch-light parade the night before the election. Then, too, women who are out of politics may find a small place in the fall election, and needless to say they probably will not have forgotten their old political technique. The day of the election it will be almost impossible to attend classes, because qualified candidates will har the way; the campus will be littered with cards and tags and the entire Hill will breathe the intense excitement. But, after all, this mungifificant display is only a gesture. A few weeks later the candidates will have forgotten the planks upon which they were elected, and, indeed, three-fourths of the student body will have forgition who the new officers are. Still, we just must have our umnisil fall political season. It is as invulve as finals, tax-collectors, and Kansas mud. Sam Newman was fortunate in finding the two sons that had strugged away...Hill City Reville New Ern. Sam must have hired some of their laws' goat callers. Certain European members of the League of Nations seem to think our delegates represent the United States of America. A MOMENT OF MADNESS So it was in a moment of matitude that Mr. Harry M. Daugherty, former attorney general of the United States, burned the records which government officials say might have convicted him of conspiracy against the government. It was probably a fit of madness which brought about his removal from the position of attorney general. It was probably a fit of madness which caused him to remain in ignorance of the actions of his subordinate, Thomas W. Miller, in connection with the metals case now being tried. It is a well-known fact that practically any beautiful woman can plenitude temporary insanity and be acquitted by any jury from any charge. Now former government officials are trying the same expedient. The only question that comes to the minds of the American people is what brought about the fit of madness which caused Mr. Daugherty to burn the papers. Of course it might have been, as Mr. Steuer says, that he wanted to flout the barking dogs and yelpers who wanted to peek at the records of the Harding campaign fund by leaving them nothing to see. The American public will be glad to sympathize with the "lonesome, broken old man" in the same way that it sympathizes with any beautiful, heartbroken woman before the courts of justice, if the counsel for the defense will explain why Mr. Daugherty did not silence the barking dogs and yelpers by publishing the records to prove his innocence in the whole matter. The public wonders why the lonesome old man was so badly whipped that he found it necessary to burn the records instead of publishing them. EDUCATION VERSUS HOG In answer to the call of "Pooecle" three hundred University students assembled on the stage of Green Lane, learning how to listen was overwhelming content. CALLING It was estimated that fully one-quarter of the group cut classes or were in classes because of this supersovereignty. And, since attendance was not compartmental at this contest, one can easily believe that those who attended belief that they could gain more by attending a log-calling contest than they could by going to class and being educated. Of the other two-thirds one may be believe that there was no better way to enjoy time than to listen to the different conjugations of "Poen-e-ce-ee". Perhaps there is something gained at a hoop-celling contest. A psychology major may study social psychology. A student of anthropology might study reversion to type. A student of journalism might get a good feature story out of it. At any rate, someone is going to get a perfectly good trip to Manhattan out of it. Mrs. Dempeye says that she is happy even if her husband did lose the championship; she still has Jack—$900,000. * BACK ON THE STAGE The Rae Samels is back on the stage, and appeared at a vaudeville theater in Kansas City last week, according to newspaper disputations. But this time she is "nature" Rae Samels, we are told, for she has a year-and-a-half child. Rae Sanuel's became a star on the vanilleville stage back in the days when jazz was still called "raguition." She made trip after trip across the country, drilling theater-gear everywhere with her brilliant singing. Sane was a vanilleville star who won her way into people's hearts, and she was wellikled off the stage as on. It is related that an old stand-up stage at Kaname City shed tears of joy on seeing Miss Sanuel return. The annual thing about Miss Sesame is that 17 years ago she was married to a New York tigreish princess, and today she is "still married" to the same man. In this age when it seems a daily occurrence for bright lights in the theatrical and movie world to cast off a husband or wife as only an wow-out cost, a record such as Miss Sesame's is nothing short of extraordinary. "Apple Sights for Spaces"—hendline. No, it wasn't the apple Mr. Newton was named with. RADIO That's all old, you say. True enough, in this day the common-places of a year are old, very old. But consider the significance. A few decades ago it required days and weeks to tell the world of the end of a war. Today a brawl in Timbucon may start a mushroom growth of "extraal" in every large city in the United States thirty minutes later. What does it all mean? Are we speed mantises, or merely following in the footsteps of native habitats developed to a high degree through the progress of scientific knowledge? Complaciously we sit within carriage of the radio loud speaker and listen to every detail of the world series baseball games. Through the auditory sense we "see" almost as much as the fans seated in the bleachers at Spartan Park or the Yankee Stadium, and in fact sometimes more. Here and there one of the delimiterate, less modern-minded, may pause to marvel at the wonder. The rest of us take no heed of the process of advancement that has brought us so close to interesting events far away. Why, but a year ago the radio merely gave us here in the Middle West a telegraph report; today we hear the voice of the announcer at the field of play. While the barber clips the fuzz off your neck you can plainly hear from the loud spoken speaker across the street the smack of bat against ball, then the announcement's voice saying the mighty Babie is on his way to another homer. It means that the world has grown smaller; that the constant progress of Book Notes --speed in communication is a natural result of the realization that fire knowledge is power. So it was to the naked savage who saw his enemy first; so it is with us today, valuable in stock markets or weather, and intensely interesting in amusements. It means even more than that; it means that in the world tomorrow there can be no isolation of individual or nation. We are face to face with the recognition of the fact that America can no longer disintegrate herself from world politics. Let the radio announcer continue with the game. --- Avwals, by George Moche.

Book by Dr. Malin Until very recently there has been no systematic study of American history since the Civil War. The standard histories stopped with 1800 and later added some supplementary volumes covering the Civil War and reconstruction in the South down to 1877. The American Nation series and the Chronicles of America come together in a half dozen years a few single volume narrative histories, intended for college texts, have been published. They tell the story, one thing after another, without much attempt at analysis. The first philosophic study of the period as a whole is made in a little book by Dr J. C. Malm, of the masters of the appreciation of recounted American History," just published by The Country Club. A preliminary sketch of the book was printed a couple of years ago in the University Humanistic Series. In this volume that sketch has been revised and very considerably enlarged. Even the predecessors are noteworthy by Justice Brandes of the Supreme Court, Prof. Max Farrand of Yale University and others. The enlarged edition, now regularly published, is likely to prove more acceptable. The book is not intended for a text but rather for supplementary reading and the more familiar the reader is with it. It will enjoy "a nice and unequivate its merit." Doctor Malin shows that the logical break in recent American history is the year 1887. Part I of the book in 1887, which he calls "The Making of the Nationalized Federal State." It was during this period that the forces of centralization and consolidation, released by the Civil War, worked them into a nationalized government, not only by restoring the South but by binding together the East and the West. They then nationalized industry and finally nationalized government, thus creating a nation ready to play a part in it. Part II of the book covers the period from 1887 to 1917, which Doctor Malin calls "The Making of Greater America." The expansion of industry and commerce in the United States created a demand for foreign markets and brought the United States into competition with the other great powers. This brought on industrial organization upon a gigantic scale at the end of the twentieth century in order that we must make our place in the sun. This period breaks at the Spanish War in 1888 and Doctor Malin traces the growth of industrialism and imperialism from 1887 to 1898 through the Great War, the Great World War, internationalism and the League of Nations. The reaction of these forces upon government at home Doctor Malin treats under the head of democracy, showing the exertion of the people to fathertorefuherly directed of. The book will give the reader an insight into the great changes that have taken place in our country in recent times. There are numerous striking epigrammatic passages well worth quoting did space permit. Some of the opinions expressed run counter to the prejudices and preconceived notions of the treatment is so conspicuously impartial that it ought to carry conviction. All together the book is a notable contribution to American history and it is a source of pride that it comes from our University. —F. H., Hodder.
