WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4.1923
Press reports say that the Congressmen who are in Europe on junkets are digging out facts. That's just like curious tourists—pick up a lot of things they will never use.
STOPPING THE RANDITS
A Kansas City grocer, Grant B. McConkey, has done probably as much to impede the era of banditry in that city as have police and private detectives combined. McConkey has hit upon the simple expedient of shooting them when they attempt to rob him.
Punishment for crime should be left to the law-enforcement authorities under ordinary circumstances, of course, but when crime is so prevalent that authorities cannot even begin to curb it, then it is time for drastic measures.
Killing is terrible, but at times it is necessary.
The Reign of Terror in the French Revolution has been denounced as one of the most horrible events in history. It was a bloody year, indeed, but revolutionary leaders knew that the fruits of the revolution could be preserved only by a policy of "Terror." It was a political expedient.
A Reign of Terror against bandits would be inhumane in some ways, of course, but something of the sort is necessary to check the crime wave. A few more trigger fingers like Grant McConkey's would go far toward stopping hold-up men from preying on the public.
One Mt. Oread discipline of the famous Walton, says the catfish are so thick in the Kaw this spring that they are ruining acres of wheat along the river where they come out to graze.
HENRY vs. JOHN D.
Henry Ford, a great capitalist, is a presidential possibility. John D. Rockefeller, also a great capitalist, would not even be considered.
The "common people" apparently think that Ford is the friend of the poor man. Conversely, they think that Rockefeller is a skin-flint and a pirate. Yet the wealth of each is enormous and about the same, according to reliable reports.
Why should there be this difference in feeling in regard to the two men? Ford, it is said, gives the working
man his due when he employs him,
yet he sees to it that he doesn't lose anything by so doing. He gives very little to charity.
On the other hand, Rockefeller has done much to alleviate the suffering in the world. Rockefeller gives to public causes like education and prevention of diseases. Rockefeller established the Rockefeller Foundation, an institution that has carried the research of science into distant fields, an institution that has done much to stamp out the terrible hookworm that infests the tropic countries. Yet he gets no credit for it, while Ford is credited with being the savior of the world because he pays good average wages and manufactures a cheap automobile.
If you know the reason why Ford is regarded as a St. George who attacks the dragon of capitalism, while Rockefeller is regarded as a pawing Midas, then you understand the psychology of the American voter.
If the erase for compact radio sets continues, they will soon be put in crackerjack boxes as prizes.
The Florida peacenag case in which a young North Dakota farmer lad, Martin Talbert by name, was killed, is one which not only should call forth the indignation of the two states concerned, but the corrective indignation of every right minded backer of justice towards humanity in the United States of America.
FLORIDA PEONAGE
Facts and affidavits in the hands of North Dakota authorities prove conclusively that the horrible torture administered to young Talbert was only one event in a symposium which has been going on malignantly for years.
It is indeed a revolting realization that American citizens may be arrested for petty offenses in the states of Florida and be thrown into a state of ponage, slavery in the most liberal sense of the word, and undergain painful whip lashings by the keepers for the slightest mistakes.
Now that Easter is over,it's time to have the old clothes cleaned.
Martin Talbert was arrested in Florida for catching a free ride on a freight train. He was given a choice of a twenty-five dollar fine or ninety days in jail. He was forced through lack of finances to choose the jail sentence. The sheriff immediately took him to the lumber camp of the Patman Lumber Company where he was leased to work. Contracting malaria and pneumonia he was severely lashed and mistreated which resulted in his death. His parents had in the mean time forwarded money for the payment of the fine and railroad fare home, but the sheriff returned the money. The sheriff received a bonus of twenty dollars per stray man he could pick up for the lumber cone.
The years 1862 to 1865 had nothing on the state of affairs in Florida in 1923.
The best news from the Ruhr in several weeks is the report of the arrest of a former German submarine commander who torpeded the Sussex without warning. Despite her promises, Germany did not punish his man. His case is similar to that of many other German war criminals who were never punished. If the French invasion of the Ruhr brings a few of these arch-criminals to the bar of justice, it will be nearly worth the cost.

Tom Poor
Steward Bloss
Francis Prosser
What is it each candidate's record? And he worked before for the University. Has he that type of ability which would hit him for offers? Will he work with them?
STEWART BLOSS for ist V-Pres.
Stewart Bloss, president of the Middle Laws, a member of the Jurisprudence Club, and an active man in the Law School and in the College, is an ideal running mate for Stanley Learned. Stewart Bloss has had wide experience in conference and committee training. The Stanley Council is an assurance that little time will be wasted there.
TOM POOR for 2nd V-President
Tom Poor is a level headed track
man who will bring to the Council all
Pacbascam candidates fulfill these conditions. To investigate their records is to be an enthusiastic supporter. Read their records.
STANLEY LEARNED
Stanley Learned, secretary of the Council the past year, Business Manager of the Kansas Engineer, Circulation Manager of the Sour Owl, Captain of the Engineering Debating Chair of the Kansas Relays committee, has three years of service to the University back of him. He was the only Junior member of the Tau Beta Pi, honorary Engineering fraternity. His training throughout his entire school career has been of such a nature that every student must attend the office of President of the Men's Student Council one of great achievement.
STANLEY LEARNED for President
the enthusiasm which he has shown in his many activities. Tom is a 24-hour a day worker where student interests are involved. Everybody knows Tom Poor, and to know him is secured of his fitness for the position.
FRANCIS PROSSER for Secretary
Francis Prosser, a member of this year's Council, and a member of the Council Auditing Committee, is the most logical man that could be found for Secretary because this year's experience will mean that he can go ahead with the extension duties. He is well-known with his friendly, hard work on many committees of general University nature means that he is actually in touch with student sentiment.
HOWARD FIREBAUGH for Treas.
Howard Firebraugh, a man of great personal integrity and dependability, now President of the Junior Class, is a man who will attend all Council meetings, and students do not gain by electing men to the Council who will not attend the meetings. He has been highly interested in the cause of Student Government. Not only as Treasurer, but as a formulator of policy, he will be outstanding.

Your 1924 Jayhawker will be just what the candidates you elect make it. For that reason alone, it is important that you choose men who are capable of leadership.
FRANK RISING and RYLAND PETTY are EXPERIENCED MEN
Frank Rising, candidate for editor of the 1924 Jayhawker, is a man with exp as an assistant professor at the University and a graduate of the Lawrence High School, he knows the University and its traditions.
Frank is a member of the Daily Kansan Board, and in this capacity has held staff position in various work on that publication. He is also charter member of Men and Scribbler.
Frank is a hard worker, as his "A" grades will give testimony to both hard wORK and humor. Frank's ability to think critically and intellectually, as a thinker, writer, and organizer will assure you a well organized Jayhawk, who is an efficient team member.
Everybody who knows Frank Rising, and knows him well, is enthusiastic about his election. "Frank will certainly get out a splendid Jayhawker," the sentiment expressed by all those who have seen his work. With his writing and organizing skills, Frank Rising has worked with Jayhawkers to help him staff, you just can't go wrong in voting for these two men for these positions.
Ryland Petty, candidate for business manager of the 1924 Jayhawker, is running the strength of his qualifications, coupled with his activities in student affairs on the Hill.
There are men on the Hill this semester who can personally tell to his business connection, these men who have been in it both his theatre and his business offices, and the men who made paper reprints for him.
In his experience as editor of two newspapers, he has had actual contact with merchants and their advertising problems. In his work as manager of a theatre he had first-hand advertising experience. These qualify him for the work as business manager of the Jayhawker.
In University activities, he is a member of the Daily Kansas Board, president of the K, U, Press Club, and has served on various committees.
Petty has worked the entire past year on the Jayhawker staff, and knows just how the book has to be organized, and understands the problems which arise. Experience working with a large audience is essential.
He was called dude and dandy then, but you recognize the type.
Cake Eater -model of 1900
He majored in haberdashery and took his degree with honors in xoxology.
Published in the interest of Electrical Development by an Institution that will be helped by what ever helps the Industry.
As if that were not enough, he evolved some variations on the cake walk which made them stare.
He even found time to develop a remarkable proficiency on the tandem bicycle, and on Saturday nights he was good enough to bring pleasure into Another's life by wheeling away to the "Ten-Twent-Thirt."
To crowd all this into four short years would seem enough for any mortal. Yet in spite of his attainments there are times, in after life, when our hero wonders.
The glory of his waistecats has long since faded, while his books are still fresh and clean. Did he perchance put too much thought into the selection of his hats and too little in what went under them?
