Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phone--K. U. 25 and 66
SUNDAY, JANUARY 20, 1924
The Daily Kuman aims to picture the undergraduates go to go further and more willingly print the news by standing for the faculty in their classes; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be more serious problems to junior hands; in order to better educate the students of the University.
"THE DAYS EDITORIAL"
The Kansan reprints the winning letter of Collier's prohibition letter content not as an endorsement of Mr. MacGregor's outline, but as an endearment to show what it believes is typical of the subtle efforts to bring reactionary revision of the Volstead act.
It may have been subconscious on the part of Mr. MacGerald, but the general conclusion drawn from his letter is law enforcement minus the Volstead law. He is for everything but whiskey, except that it be taken from the saloon and put in parlor or basement.
His letter would make possible legal drunkenness, protected by an alibi of light wine. He would reduce the object of the law from temperance to "not too much indulgence." In sections one, two and three he builds a fine prohibitory pyramid, but he inverts it on four and balances it on a crumbling point of suggestions.
This letter wins the first prize,
$1,000, by Willis P. MacGerald, Chi-
cago, Illinois;
Let us assume that the Eighteenth Amendment is immutable. Cannot a constitutional, common-sense, workable program be arrived at that shall conserve the great good national prohibition has accomplished, and do away with some of the evils that have followed "enforcement"? Remedy lies with:
1. The Citizen—If I patronize boot-leggers, I cannot deerry run-running, bribery jury-fixing, or official corruption. Whatever the law, I must obey.
2. The Citizen at the Polls—If my hands are clean, if I respect the law, and if with me the majority consistently vote to rebuke offices who hold law in contempt, by degrees executives may find it prudent to pay heed to sword duty. Slow business, but it harmonizes with the American theory. We must be educated in our conscience.
4. The Congress—Congress has power to remove offenders, irritant impertinent provisions from the Volst act—provisions that invite violation. Make the act enforceable.
3. The Executive - I find it difficult to idealize any president who, with machinery for law enforcement and presumably a certain degree of authority, winks at notorious corruption. Why not focus responsibility?
Subject to constitutionality, I submit these suggestions:
Concentrate repressive effort upon unauthorized manufacture and distribution of distilled liquors. Permit manufacture and sale in original containers of wines and beer of higher alcoholic content than now permitted. Forbid resale. Forbid sale of alcoholic beverages (including new-beer) for consumption on premises. Remove restriction on home-brewing and wine-making.
If any State wants to be drier, it has the privilege.
NERVOUS AGITATION
These are the United States—the land of the free and the home of the brave persons who consume great tankards of patient medicine, nerve tonic and hair oil each year.
Nerve tonics are a vital necessity. Without them Vox Povil would be tongue tied and old John Taxpayer could never stand up under the inherited punishment which is his lot. The fevered populace has "nerves," and will continue to be possessed of such a favorite pastime as long as
there is something to worry about.
And things to worry about are the best crop on this continent. People are constantly being reminded that "conditions" in this country and that one are utterly deplorable. "Some thing must be done right away" or the Four Horsemen won't be in as a disaster. The big trouble is that it is seldom there come two successive reports from a country which tell the same story. One day the country is on the high road to "normalcy." The next dispatch has it headed toward the bottom of the pit.
Germany is our pet worry now Somehow or either she is at the same time the worst off and the best condition nation on the continent. What to believe? WHAT to believe? And then the remark made by a British newspaper correspondent to the representative of an American paper, while both are in Germany, is printed. He said:
"Write what you want about Georgetown, it will all be true." You can find things to justify any statement you make. I used to think I knew something about this country. The longer I stay the less I know."
Such a statement ought to be the cue for folks in this country to put the tonic bottle on the shelf and give their poor old nerves a rest. What's the use of all the agitation over on this side? Americans are not selfish and have always shown consideration when it was necessary, but let's no get all fevered up over condition which are not yet ready for materia aid.
BRASS
The little town of Firmy, France,
has the distinction of being the first
community to organize an "Unhappily
Married Men's Club." Notices
were posted in public places calling
upon every unhappy married man in
town to be present at a given place
and date to organize a club, elect
officials and arrange a banquet. Nearly
200 men responded, ranging in age
from twenty-five to seventy-five.
Nothing is said of the number kept
it home by their wives.
Had the 200 spent that evening at home they might have found something to be happy about.
But yes, we do not live in an age of under-organization. Unless the girls of Firminy are slower than we usually think of French, mademoiselles being, we may well expect to hear of soon the "Homebreakers Club" organizing in Firminy to act as an auxiliary.
In the wake of the news: On the
amn day Governor Davis announced
is candidacy for governor he calls
or law and order.
Attacks on "Pussyfoot" Johnson have ceased since he issued his statement that he "wont die until the world goes dry." "Long Live Pussyfoot," bow the waters.
Another candidate for the American Olympic team is the Georgia cracker who chewed tobacco for sixty six hours and was "jest gettin' limbered up" when stopped by a doctor.
The salesman who fractured his skull in a fall from a two story window and filed a damage suit on the way to the hospital is what we call a hard-headed business man.
If Japan were California maybe press bulletins of the Tokyo disaster would read, "Small Boys Throw stones in Office Windows; Damage."
Plumbers trouble most of us like chilblains; have them once and you are liable to have them twice.
In writing an obituary of a prominent citizen the newspapers reported that he was once a printer's devil and U. S. Senator. A fine record, but my mention he was a senator?
BULLETIN: At 6:06 this morning the banister of John伯逊 Mennonium reported the finding of seven faini and famished females hunched uneconomically on the racks in the gymnastic rooms by far-sighted partners who accompanied them to the Fine Arts Dance last night.
At The Concert
By Dorothy Dillaway
The University Symphony Orchestra gave its mid-winter concert in Fraser chapel last Thursday night to an enthusiastic but small audition, almost perfectly more than half filled the hall.
The program opened with a beautiful performance of the four movements of the Symphony No. 4 by the musician of the group, which the last of the group was done particularly well. There was greater unity and attention to the director, Prof. Edward Kurtz, in the Satter-Tempro and a lovelier tone quality.
The second number of the program with Prof. Waldemar Geltch of the violin faculty, as soloist, was perhaps the best work of the orchestra, beautifully and showed clean techie and clarity of tone. His performance was well appreciated by his hearsers who recalled him twice, although no encores were given by either Professor Geltch or the orchestra. He was also called D minder by Vienntempels, called the Märzle Energie, was played with a depth of feeling by the solo violinist and by the orchestra. It had a martial air and tone easily recognizable as being composed by Vienntempels and disbanded by both, bounding one of the national anthem.
The last selection, Overture, Oberon, by Weber, probably the best known of the numbers given by the orchestra, contained many short sales for the wind instruments as well. The conductor was able to secure some very pleasant effects in the latter selection. It was well done.
Laugh and the Prof. laughs with you; Laugh again and you laugh alone. The first, of course, is the Prof.'s Laugh.
Now that a city ordinance has forbiden us to coast, we wish it would tell us how to keep from it.

The degrees given by a university are so many and various, that one additional one would make little difference. A K. U. girl suggests that instead of the A. B. given by the College to both men and women, the degree of A. O. M. (Old Maid of Arts) be given exclusively to women.

LOST IN THE WOODS
Experienced woodmen say that when a man gets lost in the forest he usually travels round and round in a circle.
That is just the way some folks shop. They hit the buying trail, stray from it a bit, and before they are aware of the fact, they are lost—wandering in a maze of counters —gradually growing wearier and wearier—and finally get back home mentally and physically tucked out without having accomplished much.
Up-to-date shopers make up their minds what they are going to buy before they leave the house. They know exactly what they want, how much they want to pay, and just where they will find the right goods at the right prices. To them shopping is a pleasure.
These modern shoppers read the Kansan advertisements carefully and regularly. They find that the advertisements save them steps, bother, trouble and time.
Let The Daily Kansan advertisements guide you. That's their job.
