The Daily Kansan aims to preserve the culture of the University of Kansas, to go further; to standing for the ideals the authors cite; to be clear; to be cheerful; to serve; to have more serious problems serve to the heat of its ability the university has grown.
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 21, 1921.
S. O. S.
Once again history has begun to repeat itself—the wraps left by students in the cloak rooms of the University have started their annual disappearing stunt.
That fellow students should be responsible for wholesale appropriation of garments not their own seem almost incredible, for surely nothing could be more inconsistent than a desire for college training and a standard of morals low enough to stoil in the same person. Perhaps as some suggest, this invasion of student wardrobes is conducted by agents of concern selling in neighboring cities. At any rate, whatever the explanation, if each student should constitute himself a vigilance committee of one to watch up such operations until the guilty persons are apprehended, he would be doing a real service to K. U. people.
Many methods of affording protection to students have been tried by various universities over the country. Losses of previous years would certainly seem to justify investigation of such methods and installation of the one that would be most practical for K. U. Meanwhile if the practice of secret identification marks could be made a prevalent one, a cloak room plunderer might take second thought before walking off with that which belongs to another.
THE PRICE OF PROGRESS
The war is over and the nation no more thrills to read of its boys marching bravely into the face of German gun fire. As a people we have come, once again, to think of peaceful things and to follow our industrial pursuits in a reasonable normal way. But now, just as we had begun to settle down uneasily but hopefully, there comes the news of a new sacrifice of human lives for the nation, a giving up of young men's hopes and ambitions of today that our country might be bettied to meet the problems of war or peace that may come in our nation's tomorrow.
Sixteen American men of the navy were detailed to go to England and bring the giant dirigible, ZR-2, home. They, together with more than twice that number of Englishmen, were giving the machine its final tri航 flight when the craft backled and broke awound, letting all but one down to death in the River Humber.
It was on no pleasure juant that the ship was bound. It was not in a balloon race that the crew was entered. It was in the plain performance of duty that they were engaged. In that pursuit they gave their lives as nobly as any man who went down on the battle field. It takes such sacrifices, it seems, to promote science. Surely the memory of such must make of the nation more than a
scope of territory, or a thoughtless horde of human beings.
TO ARMS!
An intensive and immediate campaign to be waged by students, one and all, against one of the greatest enemies of successful student life, Procrastination, is in *order!* Long lists of library reading have already been assigned to cover the entire semester, term papers have been assigned so that they may be written early to avoid a rush at quiz time, and regular lessons are being assigned from day to day.
And the arch traitor, Procrastination with his allies, movies, cokes, and cars, is not idle. They have almost preceded these assignments in their bombardment of the best of resolutions to keep every bit of work up to the minute.
Therefore, K. U. Students! To
rms!
AND MINO COUNTY PAYS
"Mooney and Looney Surcrowder," is headed a news story that came over the wires recently. Thomas A. Mooney and Arthur Looney, international labor organizers and agitators—to whose activities the recent minor warfare in Mingo county, West Virginia, can be laid almost entirely, have given themselves up to the state authorities, to stand trial on several technical charges.
Two unscrupulous men, partially educated, actuated by selfish interests, went into Mingo county last spring, mingled with the uneducated toilers of the coal mines in that vicinity, and began to preach their gospel of unionism. Three months later there came strikes, then the country, yes, the whole world, was shocked by the news of rioting and bloodshed. Thousands of armed strikers were marching upon non-union laborers. The non-union laborers, supported by the minions of the law, were entrenching themselves in preparation to resist the expected attacks as best they could.
America has stood vigil at the conditions existing in foreign countries, particularly Russia. Yet for almost a month, throughout a part of the U. S., disorder and disaster reigned. United States troops were finally called into the state, and the hills of several counties combed for the malcontents. The rebbling miners, victims of a higher influence, were allowed to go to their homes after surrendering their fire arms. Between fifteen and twenty miners and officers of the law lost their lives in the uprising. But these figures are superficial. Hundreds of families went without food, were driven from their homes, because their heads, their providers, were fighting for a 'cause'. Hundreds are still jobless, and although the actual trouble has been settled, its effects will be felt all through the long hard winter that will soon descend upon the West Virginia mountains.
And now Mooney and Looney, organizers and agitators, have surrendered, to answer technical charges. With untold funds behind them to provide for their defense, we cannot help be skeptical as to the final outcome of their trials. Certainly we cannot expect that the courts will or can truly count the cost; and the punishment meted out, whatever it is to be, certainly can not be in accord with the gravity of their crime.

Justice Johnstone in "A Heart to Let"
The man whose courage and forcight gave alternating current to America, and founded the Wellinghouse industries.
George Westinghouse
Legislatures were even importomed to prevent the use of the "deadly Westinghouse Current," as many extremists described it.
Thirty years ago the alternating current system was but an infant, for whose life those who believed in it were fighting daily and nightly battles; today this same system is a giant of almost inconceivable size, so capable of defending itself that no one seeks to attack it. For 93% of the electricity that is generated and transmitted today is alternating current.
The story of the development of alternating current is a story of courage and vision and faith; of misunderstanding and misrepresentation; of engineering failures and triumphs; of commercial ability and organization. It reads like a classic romance. In its chapters are credit and honor for all who have deserved it, but the central figure, the man whose motives and acts furnished the basis of the plot, was George Westinghouse, the founder of the Westinghouse Industries.
When, in 1886, he brought over from Europe the crude Gaulard and Gibbs system, even he, great as was his foresight, did not dream of the coming magnitude of the idea which he was fostering. The development work undertaken by the strong engineers whom he put to work at first into many serious differences with those who favored direct current.
That the little 50 horsepower generators of those days have grown to sizes two thousand times as large; that stations of a few horsepower have been succeeded by stations with a capacity of hundreds of thousands of horsepower, while at the same time, distribution voltages have grown from 1,000 to 220,000 is due largely to the vision and the courage of George Westinghouse, and to the qualities of the engineers whom he called, characteristically, to help him. By no means the least of the achievements of this man was his ability to organize the greatest aggregation of engineering intelligence ever known, men of analytical ability, consummate mathematicians, great inventors; and to promote in this great group the most harmonious and intelligent co-operation.
The same energy and courage and purpose that forced the acceptance of the air brake, the modern systems for the economic and safe distribution of natural gas, and later of the steam turbine, led and won the fight for alternating current, which has grown to be one of the world's greatest and most necessary commodities.
