FRIDAY, JANUARY 5. 1923
SIR HARRY LAUDER
Sir Harry Lauder, favorite of two continents, a man who has sung himself into the hearts of millions by such songs as "Roamin' in the Glowing," and "I'm Going to Get Wed in the Summertime," will again appear in Lawrence. Sir Harry needs no introduction to any American public. His whole-hearted work during the past decade has placed him in a class alone.
His impersonations and voices, together with a magnetic personality, make this Scotch singer one of the greatest entertainers ip the world. And his laugh—no one can ever forget Sir Harry once they have heard him laugh. Harry Launder's one great purpose in life is to make other people happy, and he has been, and is today, sacrificing himself for this purpose.
Bowed down by a great grief—the loss of a son in the war,—Harry Lauder continues to delight his hearers just as he did before the war. And he finds solace for this memory in singing to make others happy. Certainly there is a noble heart, and an unconquerable spirit behind the Scotch plaid that Sir Harry Lauder is so proud to wear.
BRISBANE AND "FATTY"
Now that a Japanese, professor has discovered a way to transport live fish long distances, these nimrods who come back with tales of fabulous catches may have to prove their tale.
"Half-baked" is the only term which adequately characterizes Arthur Brisbane's recent discussion in his column "Today" of Fatty Arbuckle's return to the motion picture screen. His treatment of the subject is done in that short, pointed style which has helped to place him among the foremost editorial writers of the nation. But superficiality is too common a fault of Brisbane's discussions, and his estimate of the Arbuckle situation shows a reckless disregard for its deeper aspects.
"While the lamp holds out to burn," he says, "the vletest sinner may return. Fatty Arbuckle's return to the moving pictures, authorized after a period of probation, is opposed by many women. They are rulentless judges, especially of other women. Even the dying theft had a chance."
Arthur Brisbane has ever been a champion of the "under dog." That attitude on the whole is perhaps admirable, but certainly there are times when things other than the welfare of the "under dog" should be the deciding factor. Brisbane evidently gives no thought to the sinister influence Fatty's return will have upon the countless children who formerly worshiped the movie actor as a hero, and who now connect his name with the most obscene debauchery.
He calls the women who are opposed to Fatty's return relentless judges. Relentless, yes—relentless in their determination that their children shall be entertained only by those who do not savior of immorality and indecency.
Briana is a cogent and brilliant writer, and he often champions great and just causes; it is a shame that
so often his probe should be so shallow. The college student, when he tries to handle deep subjects, is a favorite object of general ridicule. Perhaps the college student is a bit "half-baked" at times, but he is not alone. He has distinguished company.
A Chicago judge says girls are less exacting in choosing a husband than they are in buying a new hat. What a scandalous waste of time!
OPTIMISM VERSUS PATRIOTISM
Six "dollar-a-day men" are among those indicted in the war graft charges brought by Attorney General Daugherty. If they are convicted the case will serve further to detract from the glorious, solid patriotism we thought we saw during the World War. Six men whom the country looked upon as heroes for giving up their entire time to the government for a dollar a year—they were too old to enter the ranks as soldiers and too valuable (we thought) to be taken out of their own lines of work—are now to prove whether or not they were using their positions as means for "working graft."
Recent exposes indicate that there is substantial ground for accusations in the war graft cases, not particularly in the case of the six men recently brought to the front, but in many other instances. It seems evident that many men and firms did take advantage of the war-time spirit to further their own financial welfare.
To take such advantage is worse than common assault and robbery. It is almost inconceivable to think of human beings grasping the opportunity of exploiting a spirit that sent 2,000,000 men to a foreign soil to sacrifice their all.
The worst part is that, at best, only a small part of the guilty ones will ever be apprehended. Probably the most guilty will never be touched. Yet the poor fellows who served in the less conspicuous roles, to the men who were in the ranks, when they committed a breach of discipline, justice was administered at once. After all, it takes a great deal of optimism to be patriotic.

Does it Pay?
Here is a modern parable. A student came to K U. He worked hard. He made good grades. He took part in many activities. With it all he had a good time. But in doing all this he became one-sided. He neglected his spiritual life. He forgot to take God into consideration. He missed the best of his four years at K U. He left K. U. hanidcapped for life. Do you think it pays?
