U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kaanam aims to picture the future of the University. Kaanam is to go further than merely printing the news by standing up for it, and to offer a favorite: to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more actionable; to be more active problems to wiser hands; in more actions that will help the ability of the students of the University. MONDAY, APRIL 23,1923 It is a wise editor that prints both a lost and found item for the same article on the same day and in the same column. RELAYS AN INSTITUTION The first Kansas relays have gone down in University history as an epoc in athletic progress at the University of Kansas and for the middle west. Athletes from 250 institutions, thousands of spectators, visiting officials and alumni of K, U, all stand firm in the belief that the relays proved themselves worthy of yearly recurrence on Stadium field. There is little doubt but what Kansas benefited more than dollars will ever indicate by the initial building and fostering of the relay plan, large enough to include high schools and colleges from all over the United States. The sporting world will expect the second annual Kansas Relay to be even better than the first, and alumni and Kansas will not be disappointed. The directors of the Athletic association were far sighted enough to see the opportunity for placing Kansas first in the West for great athletic contests and fourth in America for similar events of such magnitude, and they admirably filled that need. THE KANSAS K A noted director says that college girls can't make good in the movies they are too collegiate. We see a possibility of disagreeing when he goes on to say that a good actress must be able to sink her personality into any number of roles. It's that pays and pays and pays. One or two foreign sweaters have been worn on the hill this year and they evoked a number of inquiries as to the right of a person to wear an emblem of another school. It is a precedent on the hill that all emblems and letters of a foreign university other than Kansas should be discarded when the person comes to Kansas. Otherwise the meaning of the K would lose its deep significance. One could go to another school and get a letter, then come to Kansas and wear it. Soon there would be so many letters that though the K were predominant it would be less sym- Last year a case occurred where a man was requested to take his letter off of his sweater. It lies in the hands of the K men to request this being done and in case the request is not compled to other measures can be taken. The K is Kansas' emblem—any other letter should not be given even a semblance of its place. If you are able to win a letter a some other school you should try for one at K. U. If you cannot meet the requirements for the letter then you have no right to be wearing one while at the University and there should be no substitute made. A press report says that King Alfonso of Spain never wears a suit more than a half dozen times. And all this time we have been taught that the land of Valentino really was civilized.

RAPID FIRE JUSTICE Perhaps if the courts of our country would get down to business and dispense a little rapid fire justice there would be less crime and less inclination toward the profession of organized crime which now appears so lucrative and satisfactory. Society walls that the world is getting worse and that crime is increasing. They blame the young people, they blame the schools, they blame almost everything but the source of punishment. There is a growing disrespect for law, as a result of the dilatory and inconsequent handling of the cases. Canada stands out in contrast to the United States, with her far simpler machinery and greater efficiency. A criminal calendar of more than two years behind, as was the case in New York City recently, would be unthinkable in Canada. And a trial very rarely lasts more than a day. There is a tradition that a murder trial lasted two days once. Charles Frederick Carter, in Current History, describes their methods thus: "Indicable offences are dealt with in three ways: before the Provincial Court with a jury; before a judge without the intervention of a jury under the special trials act, by which the accused is given the option of being tried forthwith by the judge or having his case put over for the term of court and tried by jury; and, before a police or other magistrate by virtue of the summary trials act. A magistrate may try any charges less than murder under this act, and his decision is nearly always final, for in the Dominion endless appeals and reversals are unknown." One case occurred last September in which an automobile was stolen one Saturday night. The next day two men were arrested for the theft in a small town many miles away. Monday morning they were arraigned, convicted, and sentenced. Less than twenty-eight hours after the theft they were in the Provincial penitentiary beginning sentences of three years each. How different is this method from the dragging along of cases here, calling of special jury panels, having a hundred men wait almost a day to be sent home and told to return to repeat the process. In promoting speedy trials there is a possibility of a note of injustice. This of course must be taken into consideration. If the United States Court system is adequate, why should so many cases hang over year after year and so many other cases not even be heard until the crime is almost forgotten? If we want to stop the increase of crime we must promote more rapid justice. Simultaneous with the announcement that President Harding will visit Kansas City on his western tour, we read that the exclusive golf courses of the city are being worked over for summer use. The chief criticism seems to come from the fact that the wife and children of John K. Mitchell, the Phila-delphia millionaire concerned in the case, were caused embarrassment by the excessive publicity. The newspapers, did devote more space to the matter than they should have given it; they did play up too much sensationism. But the sur- A good many kind-hearted and wellmeaning people are protesting because of the manner in which the press of the country handled the Dorothy Kenan murder case. Several magazines have taken up the chase, and are hounding the press for its senationalism. THE KEENAN CASE FLORENCE SHERBON. fering of Mitchell's family should be laid at the door of Mitchell himself, not of the press. Publicity should be a deterent to evil-doers and strayers from the conventional path. Why should the newspapers of the country act as Godfathers to the family of Mitchell when Mitchell himself did not protect them? It is any man's duty to look out for his wife and family; if he takes a moral lapse, as Mitchell did, he cannot expect the world, and newspapers in particular, to guard his family. Every newspaper man knows that the first cry of any law-breaker usually is: "Why don't you follow let me alone; I have more trouble with you than do the police. Won't you keep my name out of the paper and protect my people?" The surest way for any man to avoid unpleasant publicity for himself and his family is to behave himself. It is seldom that the person who lives an honest, moral life breaks into print in a way that he doesn't like. And the newspaper man has a perfect right to answer: "Why do you expect the newspapers to look out for your people when you won't do it?" Plain Tales From The Hill An honest-to-goodness paragrapher once said that if a column had one good kick in it a month, the batting average would be lower. A month for the kick—watch this space. The building inspector should have a look at a little space down here on Twelfth. On the outside a sign says there are four hundred cleaners there. Two many for such a tiny place. "There is me new dog, Hen," said Chet. "How come the name?" "He's a setter." (Duik curtain) (Quick curtain) The cookie pushers have found their athletic haven at last. They should feel all chirked up now that dance marathons are being sanctioned and recognized (as a form of insanity). Some of the brighter boys were locking each other in rooms 'bother night and a few climbed out on the roof to climb over them and to the ground. They were clad only in the "Sleeping Wear of a Nation", and at the wrong moment, of course, the motor can passed by. After much discussion they were not taken up for second-story men. Headline: "Whiskey Hid in Chicken Coop." On Other Hills The Savitar, the year book of the University of Missouri, will contain a "mud-seed" or humor section in which the names of 500 of the students will appear. This is the largest number in years to be published and it is believed will cause more attention. The book will also contain a page devoted to the "campus king." This page will be illustrated. They ought to stay at home and out of the neighbor's garden now. Figures compiled by Ohio State University show that the University of Chicago led all other Big Ten schools in receipts from this season's games. Their total was $212,852.96. Michigan in second place reports $181,805.96. Approximately four thousand educators from all over the state were gathered at Ohio State University recently for the third annual education conference, conducted by the College of Education at that institution. secretly pledge he shall go unpledged for one year.

The annual freshman-sophomore acrap has been abolished at Wabash College on account of its unfavorable treatment, but it will be to know as Fall Games will be established. This action was recently decided upon by the student council. The new acrap will include many feathered trophies and a game, a tour of war, and flag rush. The fraternities at Columbia College have entered into an agreement whereby they will not pledge any man until the first Wednesday following the official opening of the college.

This carnival, which is acknowledged to be the greatest annual track and field meeting hold any place in the world will again have international importance. This is due to the fact that the university will send a two-mile team to compete in the American college two mile relay championship. Athletes from over four hundred institutions are expected to participate in the meet. Phi Sigma will meet this evening in room 300, snow hall. Alexander Marble, assistant instructor of bacteriology, will speak on "The Relation of the Size of the Thymus Gland to the Size of the Foetal Fig." Following the talk eleven new members will be initiated.
