The Daily Kannan aims to picture the ideal Kannan as a woman who is courageous and knowledgeable. He can go further than merely prizing the news by standing for the Idea of Kannan, but he also wants to be "clean" to be cheerful; to be creative to be brave; to have more serious problems to whiter heads; to all serve the best of his ability to serve others; to be faithful to one's destiny.
MONDAY, APRIL 30,1923
"Woman dies and returns alive to tell about it," shouts the Chicago Tribune from a top head story. We may as well start watching the catches for a new book entitled "Personal Interviews with Methophilpes," to be coming along any day now.
LYNCHED!
He had been lynched for alleged attack upon a white girl.
A negro's body dangled from a railroad bridge at Columbia, Mo., yesterday morning.
His face nurpled, his features became cored, and his limbs, after a fitful struggle, grew limp and lifeless, within view of a Mecca of American culture, education, and refinement.
Let us be proud of another contribution to our great American civilization.
AMERICAN DUMB-BELLS
Henry Ford has the politicians guessing. That's nothing like a mere handful of politicians count for little beside the million that are kept guessing by their Ford motors on cold winter mornings.
It is a comparatively easy thing now to find persons who are trying to show that Americans are growing dumber day by day. Who ever he may be cities as his proof and authority the psychology tests made on the men in the army during the war. The results of those tests are stalling, apparently figures do not lie.
"Americans are in danger of be coming a race of 'dumb-bells', an eminent psychologist of the University of Chicago recently said in an ad dress before the school of citizenshi of that institution.
Anyone acquainted with modern educational methods knows well that psychology tests for guaging mentality are new and practically undeveloped. Those who gave the tests on a wholesale scale to the 1,750,000 soldiers enlisted, possibly were new at the game too, however the tests undoubtedly show a reasonable degree of accuracy.
Men eminent in all fields must be recognized as authorities, else how can our nation progress and how will our people become educated and be made more useful citizens? There is however a tendency with men who have made life studies and given over their careers to work with the abnormalities of the earth to become immune to the beauties, the pleasures, and the normalities of humans and things, and to forget the opportunities of modern life.
Especially in a great university should we take hearts, set the goal of progress and success higher, and be mindful that all are not dumb-bella, and all is all not dull and ugly.

THE THREE MILE LIMIT
The enforcement of the United States "bone dry law" is made doubly difficult because residents can obtain all the liquor they want by going just beyond the three-mile limit. Prohibition officers are hiepless in this circumstance. The rum-runners, particularly those from Nassau in the Bahama islands, are laughing up their sleeves as they approach the three-mile limit, sell their valuable carcasses, or even openly defy the government by slipping past the vigilent prohibition officers and smuggling the rum into the country.
It is probable that an extension of the international boundary lines out into the ocean for eight or ten times the three-mile distance would materially diminish the liquor traffic off the Atlantic coast. The three-mile limit agreement was consummated at a time when coast defense guns could shoot only three miles. At the time that distance was considered to be safe. But now, with guns which can shoot many times that far, it is only reasonable that the nations of the world could easily discard the old arbitrary agreement and substitute one which is in keeping with progress. Such a change would incidentally help this country to combat the breaking of the prohibition law.
It is not to be supposed that such a change in agreement between nations would he hard to bring about. The ancient and fossiled three-mile clause in international law belongs wit the巾幂 Doctrine; it is already in the discard these several decades. Greatr world problems have necessarily relegated such apparently lesser issues to the background.
Should such a change be made on what seems to be a minor issue, the United States Government could deal quickly and efficiently with the Nassan law-breakers.

HAZING CONTINUES
The old custom of inflicting unnecessary punishment and torture on men students of certain universities and colleges through class fights and perennial wars is still alive. Reports from the last having activity come from Northwestern university where for years such occurrences have been common.
Each class fight spells disaster, each greater than the last. One student was killed and six injured on the streets of Evanston during an intentional clash of automobiles as a result of efforts of sophomores to keep freshmen from seeking a kidnapped clammate. Not all of the injured persons were students, some were women on their road home from a party. Last year about the same time a freshman student was kidnapped and although police all over the country searched for the missing boy, he was never found and no clue has ever led to the discovery of the perpetrators of the crime or the whereabouts of the student.
It is indeed lamentable that Northwestern authorities have not considered the matter seriously enough to find a way to stop such atrocious manslaughter. A little fun goes a long way, but is a class war quite so valuable that it is worth the sacrifice of one student a year to perpetuate it?
E. H. LINDLEY, President.
THE LEAGUE AND THE COURT
The soift in the Republican party shows evidence of widening each day because of the controversy between the League adherents and the anti-League followers.
Senator Borah, Idaho, always has his foot in it, and always gets publicity to what he is fighting against. He seldom fights for, but you can be sure of him on the opposition. The negative side has promise and vim for Borah. Yesterday he unburdened his soul to the press with a symposium of rational reasoning on the League of Nations and the World court, which has merit.
The position of the United States in relation to European affairs is serious, strange and a bit ludicrous too, if it were not for the fact that the United States will probably have to make final settlement of European turmoil. First, our government proposes and plans the League of Nations, and it is accepted by a large enough majority of world powers to put it into operation, then the authors of the plan refuse to enter such a tribunal and continue to do so, perhaps wisely. Realizing that the present league is not sufficient the administration is attempting to add another link in the chain towards the binding of military powers into a safe court compact presenting a world court.
America should be certain by now that there can not be European stability until the United States lends a hand. England is confident of it. She has sent two of her best diplomas to the United States to show the American people that the United States is badly needed over there. The difficulty is plain; Europe is unwilling to come to agreement with herself either in military or commercial enterprises, and knowing that she needs to settle down in order to live and feed her people, she wants another power which is the United States, to accomplish it for her
Any move this government might make toward a league, court, combination, alliance or whatnot, means that the United States must take everything into her own hands. Financing is only a part of it. Police power,

executary and judiciary control would become the greatest burdens. Europe is not ready for a world court, and certainly America is not ready to settle other nations' troubles on a wholesale plan. World government would be as unwieldy in the hands of the United States at this time as a giant black snake whip in the hands of an infant. This is one time when Senator Rorah and his followers appear to be thinking along the right line.

A new plan has been adopted at Middlebury College which is believed to be without precedent. Beginning next fall every student will be required to earn credits not only in his studies but in extra-curricular activities. In commenting on this innovation President Moody said: "The student who is content to do nothing the college to which he or she goes should participate in later life. The various forms of activities such as athletics, dramatics, journalism, music, and the responsibility in leadership will be evaluated as near as possible and credit not given, alone to the successfull
candidate but to those whose efforts were an evidence of painstaking and faithful endowment, even if unacquainted with success. The student who has the maximum of these credits will be ineligible for graduation honors.
