JAPANESE EDITORS GO TO JAIL PERIODICALLY
While Employees Are Imprisoned the Owners Continue Publishing the Paper
HAVE FREEDOM OF PRESS
Must Retract Libellous Statements in Paper to Avoid Going to Court
By CLARENCE DUBOSE
By CLARENCE DUBOSE (United Press Staff Correspondent) Today (By Mail).—The "dummy editor" is around a Japanese newspaper office. His job is simple enough. It is merely to go to jail whenever necessary. On dull days the "dummy editor" has nothing at all to do except aim at journalists and to thump them. But when business is brisk and the cop come in and pinch the place for having printed forbidden material, he puts on his frock coat and climbs into the hoodwagon and spends a week or so in the cala-
Meanwhile the real editor runs the sheet in the same old way at the same old stand.
That's one of the ways of maintaining the freedom of the press.
Another is to print anything you choose and trust to Baida and the police. The latter is growing in favor and a good number of newspapers are breaking away from the one-universal "dummy edition" plan.
Japanese newspapers are subject at all times to orders from the government for forbidding the mention or discussion of specified subjects. For such cases, please contact FOIA.

time against the mention of or speculation regarding the health of the Emperor. Any edition containing an offending article may be suppressed. Police come to the office, seize all the copies of that issue they can find, and return them to the press, in copies at newsstands and in the possession of newaboy, and all copies in the postoffice. Usually they let it go at that, only the one offending issue is suppressed and the paper is allowed to continue its business.
One angle of the Japanese libel law is to the effect that whenever a citizen challenges the truth of a newspaper story concerning him and compels that it has damaged his business or character, the newspaper must print in its notice the complaint equalling the original. This is supposed to vindicate the trade citizen and remove cause for libel suit.
Thus, the "Evening Agitator" springs a little nest larn that our esteemed tow-mann, M. T. Toate, offers as a gift for his birthday. Blowin' yesterday at three P. M.
Here's the joker. The law provides that while the correction must be of "equal length" to the article complained of, if it is any longer the newspaper can collect full advertising rates for the excess wage.
Mr. T. Toga denies indignantly that he did any such thing, threatens suit, and demands retraction.
The next day the "Evening Agitator plays up an item, a piece and position saying that Mr. T. Toga did the Ship's Shine. The Ship yesterday at three M. P.
The retraction is two words longer than the original story, so the "Evening Agitator" collects from T. Mogan, at full display, preferred position, advertising rates, payment for the two words, "did not."

HARDING IS MEMBER OF PHI ALPHA DELTLA
Chief Justice Tafand Genera Pershing Will Help Initiate the President
Chief Justice Taft and General John J. Pershing will help initiate President Harding when he becomes a member of the Taft Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta, legal fraternity at Georgetown University in February. It was an honorary National Honor Society organization that organization held in Kansas City last week.
Phi Alpha Delta just completed a three day national convention at Kansas City, delegates from forty active chapters and some sixteen alumni chapters being present. In addition to the three day business session the delegates were entertained at a dance at the Meadow Lake Club, and a banquet Saturday night in the Hotel Baltimore.
The following national officers were elected at the close of the three day session: Frank Ludwick, Kansas City; general secretary, F. K. Gaynor, Humboldt; Brooklyn, in chief, D. W. Green, Chicago, historian. Professor Humble was formally an instructor in the school of law of Kansas University. The next convention will be held in Washington, D. C.
A large number of the local chapels of the Phil Ahlah Dolla's attendance led the convention and report on a splash from the Kansas City chapter.
England Clinging To Horse Championship
London, Jan. 6.—A warning that England would not be able to retain her supremacy as the home of the world's greatest thoroughbreds unless adequate stakes were provided on the race course and adequate inducements made to breeders was contained in an ordinance passed by the county in seeking as president, at the annual meeting of the Thoroughbred Breeders' Association at Newmarket.
As long as enormous prizes were attracting horses abroad with no adequate counterbalance in this country, the best stallions and mares would assuredly be last to England, D'Abernon declared.

Great Britain had not been very fortunate last, he said in retaining championships, but the championship of the best horses in the world they certainly would not surrender without a vigorous effort and without doing what they could by skill, by knowledge or by scientific preparation to retain it.
D'Abernion hoped, without any idea of prescription or boycott, horse breeders in general would see to it that exceptional liberality on the part of race course executives was rewarded by exceptional support. He expressed confidence that the result of the operations of the new committee appointed by the Jockey Club would be immensely beneficial.
Entertained Pharmacy Faculty
Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Spencer entertained the faculty of the School of Pharmacy and their families at a caterpier dinner on the occasion of Decem-ber 1967. The family were the only guests outside of the School of Pharmacy.
An old Irish janitor lived in the installation of the building, and kept the fire extinguisher. And surely the students must have unrespectful those stoves for all the winds meet on that day.
From cast iron stoves in one building, a $300,000 heating plant spending seventeen buildings, is quite a jump, but the University of Kansas has taken it in the last fifty-five years.

boys would help the girls up the hill, then much as they do now.
North College had many tenants during its fifty four years of life. When Fraser Hall was built the State School for the Foebleminded was installed at Cole Harbor and the College moved to Winfield, the School for the Foeblemind was inquariers there. Again an exodus into a new home and the School of Music was moved to the building. When Fraser Hall was founded the old college was crenaded. Truly this is an historic spot, especially on a cold day.
EXCHANGE PROBLEM CONFUSES SCHOLARS
Washington, Jan. 5 (United Press)
—Foreign exchange, or rather currency depreciation, is playing queer pranks on erudite students of finance and economies in many countries of the world.
Currency Depreciation Playing
Pranks on Students of
Finance and Economics
The situation with regard to exchange is to say the least confused and many scholars are being left high and dry, not only in the United States, but even in England and in many of the lesser countries where they are not supposed to be so smart on economic subjects.
There are several schools o thought on the subject of currency depreciation as expressed by foreign exchange. First one school and then another has been proven first right and then wrong so often, that the experts, at least those on close view in Washington are becoming "easy."
First off, Russian German, and Austrian exchange went so low that authority everywhere was convinced that these countries, or at least their financial and economic systems would not work. There were many parts particularly found lower and lower levels and the country internally was prosperous.
when it began to threaten world markets. Experts took another task. They said that Germany, with masses so cheap, had all of the more resources the world.
It was held that Russian rubles and Austrian Kronen would cease to be a medium of exchange. But they haven't.
Discussion has ranged up and down the scale, with first one viewpoint and then another apparently vindicated. Now comes the Department of Commerce with a series of official announcements on defense technology. One of them shows that recovery of the exchange value of German marks, ascribed to many cause, including the arms conference and the possibility of a reparations moratorium, has not only brought no improvement in German commerce but caused unrest and disturbance. Marks are still being printed rapidly. Germania's floating dollar is increasingly increasing. The Commerce
Along with the official statement of German marks and German trade and conditions, however, came a host of other official statements on depreciation of Turkish currency, caused by unfavorable trade balances and one thing and another, and similar conditions in these countries have been made worse by further depreciation in currency.
Department refrains from giving an ultimate answer.
Italian trade is reported as improving, though there are many qualifying factors. Economic difficulties in Spain continue. The Peruvian market has been weakened by the Austrian industry is disorganized by currency inflation.
You can read over all of the announcements and take your pick. They are official. By rough selection you can make out your own case as to whether currency inflation and depreciated foreign exchange is a daming or saving factor to a country in a war torn world.
Van Has Good Equal In Spooner Janitor
"I've made lots of friends since I've been up here. Everybody calls me Dad," said John Angney, who has been on the Hill for twelve years. Certainly he be deserved with Van, the national man and "Honey" Wilson.

He had charge of the express and mail until last year when he was forced to rest for eight months on account of his illness, so that the Hill and was this fall then the janitorship of the library where he may be seen any day.
However, he said that he prefer outdoor work and for this reason he does not enjoy the library work as he did the express and mail jobs. Before coming to Wichita, fifteen years earlier, he farmed in Summer county south of Wichita.

One from the coke, plus eleven from the rare to Kansas City, plus two from the chocolate sundae, plus six from the box of powder, makes twenty cents—the beginning of a savings account. You will not know when your conscience can no longer advise you with impunity that it's simply impossible to save anything for there "ain't so much ani'm" as a war tax any longer. Get out that dusty penny bank, and listen to the jingle of the copper ones—provided of course that you uncheck the check you received when you purchased your ticket to Lawrence last Sunday.

that we had something come to us when we wandered him the exact change. Was it on account of some慈volent New Year's resolution on one part of the agent or had your hearing gone wrong? You were not sure. Probably you were left in such a daze that the full import of his seeming generosity did not strike you. You imagined that you were dreaming.
