Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1916, at the post office at Lawrence, Kanaa, under the act of March 3, 1879 Published in the afternoon five times a week by students in the Dept. of English, University of Kansas, from the press or the Department of Journalism Address all communication to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSA Lawrence, Kanasa Phones, K. U., 32. and 68 The Daily Kansan aims to piece together the story of the University of Kansas, to go forward by standing for "the ideals the students are to be clean; to be cheerful; to have more serious programs; to have more ability to serve the host of the ability the students have." WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1921 EASTER'S MESSAGE Once again the Easter-tide draws night, and we are off to our short vacation. On Sunday we commemorate an event, occurring almost two thousand years ago, which, in its influence upon the thoughts and actions of mankind, has been most rar-aching than any other happening in human history. All about us is hope **nuff joy.** Human folk vie with the showers and sunshine to see how quickly they can improve and beautify every aspect of life and living. To all of us, almost, the Eastern tide is indicative of hope and inspiration. For one thing, it comes in the early spring, the most hopeful season of the year, when nature breaks forth in gala attire after a season of member repression and sleep. And yet thousands of people thoughtlessly forget the all-important aspect of the true Easter time. Too many of us think more of eggs, rabbits, and bonnets and gowns and suits at Easter than we do on the basic cause for the existence of the great Christian holiday. But the greatest thing about the Easter-tide is that it symbolizes the wondrous sacrifice and promise made by the Creator for the human soul. Therein lies its never-falling spring of hope to past and future generations, to all mortals of all times that walk the common clay of life. "Lest we forget," let us remember LET THE WORLD FORGET The Hamon trial is over. A jury freed the defendant from the charge of slaying the man whose checkered career ended in the loss of his life. This only serves to prove that the violator of law and custom brings retribution upon himself in the end. Hamon succeeded in amassing millions, in becoming a political power to be reckoned with, and in gratifying his desires only at the expense of his good name and that of his lawful family, and by losing his life in a drunken quarrel with the woman with whom he chose to live. The trial is over—the world should be allowed to forget the incident and its details as it is a dark bolt in court records. But scarcely had justice been meted out before the servitors of the public, the film mignages, were attempting to arrange to throw the whole affair in all of its intimate details open to the public on the screen. They are not content to allow Clara Smith Hamon to disappear from the notice of the public and to regain her good name if possible, but intend to hold out the salacious morsel, the story of her life, to what the appetite of the public for choice bits of scandal. If Clara Smith Hamon is the woman that the jury gave her the credit for being when they acquitted her, she will not consider the tempting offers laid at her feet. If the censors of the various states are alive to their responsibilities, they will not allow any picture which reproduces the affair to be shown in their boundaries, unless it is merely a news feature of the trial; not a story of the whole debauchery. The whole story should be erased from everything save the legal records of the court which tried the case. The world should forget it. "SMACK! YOU'RE IT!" Kissing as a publicity-getting method of inaugurate public officials seems gaining in popularity, publicity gets both for the kisser, and also (also) for the discomfort kisses. You pick up the paper on any blithe and bainy post-election morning, and see emblazoned on the front page the startling information: "Hto Office With Kiss - Fair young things place deep impress on blushing brow of Secretary of —— as he takes an office." And so on and so forth. Does it follow, now that pure Adam's ale has through dire necessity supplanted ye rare old Burdungy as the sacred christening liquid for ocean liners and battleships, that the original back-to-nature kiss is the only logical instrument for christening the human ship embarking upon the storm toused waters of public service? Horse sorrow forbid! How disgustingly offeminate and foolish it must seem to your modern woman-hater or patriarchal Plymouth Rock Puritan to see the man upon whom has been held the solemn mantle of public representation subject to a guby kiss as soon as he steps into office; and all because some ambitious society danelow with a surplus of nerve and death of good taste wants to get her name in the paper. "As a powerful soulful for binding a contract, the idea has proved its worth through the ages," says Professor Noah Count, "but as a suitable token to inaugurate the public career of mere man, it is as welcome as a rabbi in a crap game." ALCESTIS One of the few initial productions of high class dramatic art was presented to the students of the University last week in the work of Miss Dorothea Spinney, who, although appearing at the University before, has never done so in a more pleasing role than in Alcatraz, play of Euripides. The play is a typical portrayal of the Greek tragedy at its best. The personification of Death in the person of Panetis in the play cannot ever be forgotten by the witnesses. The Greek chorus came in for its duel share of interpretation throughout the play. The play was given with a wonderful skill and with a minimum of fault in the technique for this rare form of modern entertainment. Auditory evidence of the culture of Greek life became a reality to the student of Greek art in this production. Same time ago the Daily Kansas raised the proposition of installing a student policeman to insure the enforcement of municipal laws about the campus and nearby sections of the city. So far, there has been no action taken on the proposition. Nearly every student, if he be law-abiding, has spoken in favor of the matter, and the mayor of Lawrence should co-operate with the Chancellor in looking into the feasibility of such a plan. STUDENT PROTECTION There are many disturbing factors which threaten the peace of the University such as "wild" noises on the campus at night, and joy driving. This policeman could do much in abolishing these regrettable violations of laws, and could aid the Lawrence police force in apprehending some of the offenders. This policeman should, of course, not make any arrests nor restrain any mild displays o. enthusiasm, but he would be a great help in eradication the fraternity and sorority屋 robberies which have become a nuisance to the little community surrounding M. Oread. There are men on the Hill who have had actual police experience, and one of these men could be picked for the position. Send the Daily Kansan home. Doctor McKeever says that "all a young man needs these days to start as matrimonial career is one good American dollar, a pair of willing hands, that's all right but where is the girl who is willing to share the dollar? A member of the royal family of Korea has been sent to prison. We may now speak of the royal road to the pen. Spencer library has been so crowded during the last few weeks that the assistant librarians are ulkernosed with some hammocks between the stacks. Evidently, it is easy for a girl to become a movie star. All it takes is an oiled automatic and plenty of serve. Chemists say that oil won't mix with water. Evidently they never bought any oil stocks. New Aniast War May Interest U. S.—headline. Oh! Hum! We wish the spring baseball season was here.

The first is farm practice, which involves at its best, the most effective means of producing the best and most profitable crops. The second is production, has become a complicated business which calls for bookkeeping, for co-accounting and careful supervision of detail. In addition, farming also involves the problem of marketing. The third aspect is farm life. The farmer should farm favorable conditions for the personal development of every member of the family group. This involves educational and social provisions. In order to make their life more sustainable, farmers should be more effective and the community life more stimulating. No farmer who has aspirations for his children will much longer be content with inflorescent school and neighborhood conditions which have survived The three essentials, therefore, are farm practice, farm management and farm finance. So far this time has received the greatest share of attention. Yet even here it is safe to declare that if the best methods of production of crops were known and practiced everywhere in Kansas, the increase of the total crop yield would be just now the farmers are beginning to recognize that farming is a business that calls for the best methods of accounting, and careful estimates of cost. The spotlight is the problem of the present system of marketing is, frankly, disadvantageous to the farmers. Better methods of distribution may possibly be obtained through cooperative selling and distribution. These questions probably will be the focus of a national and state legislation. While it is evident that excellent crops and efficient marketing are the foundation of successful farming, it is, however, true that supreme empires should be placed on possible life in every progressive community.
