The fine of 100 dollars imposed by the Council—no small amount for the Owl—will be sufficient warning against a repetition of the offense. The defense of any such magazine is that a decent publication is never a commercial success, that the questionable and suggestive thing proves the greatest financial success. This must all be granted. If it were not true, there would be fewer such magazines in existence. If the Owl is smarty the responsibility lies at the door of the public. It is a good thing that the public has found that too much of this sort of thing becomes indigestible, even though in the past it had lapped it and licked its chips in satisfaction. It must be admitted that there has been some justification here and on other campuses that a decent humorous publication will not prove profitable. But the public stands for just so much and no more. Even a university group gets a "huge kick" out of some of it, but still possesses enough sense of the decent and enough propriety to turn its back when it goes too far. The last issue of the Owl seemingly went too far even for flaming youth. Recently the state authorities have taken a definite stand against the so-called "smut" sheets with the object of excluding them from Kansas. Although there is but little connection between this action and the punishment inflicted upon the Owl, it means that at least a few realize that an effort is being made to commercialize offensive and ill-timed humor. It would be a most unwholesome tendency if the students of the University expressed their appreciation of these efforts to obtain readers; but the restrictions laid down by the council disprove the view that they appreciate such efforts. The Owl has learned its lesson, and some "cultured and refined" students will be deprived of some "snappy" literature. It is too bad, but at least the public in general will not be offended by further repetitions of the error of the Owl. And it is to be hoped that in the future not only the administration, which has always been willing, but also the student public, which has not been willing, will co-operate to prove that a decent magazine can be made to pay. Mr. White's latest book is "Calvin Coolidge, the Man Who Is President." Of course nobody knows who Calvin Coolidge is. FAILING COMMUNISM Homeless, starving, and neglectful great numbers of Russian children have been forced to rob and pillage under the present soviet regime in Russia. To us here in America it is almost incompressible that those children, many of whom can be no more than more infants, lead so precarious an existence. At the age when they should be well-cared for, sheltered and given that parental affection which can only emanate from a life family built about the children, these unfortunate have been thrust out into the world to exist best they may. It is small wonder that they' are forced to take on the characteristics of little savages, batting desperately to sustain themselves from day to day. This unnatural situation is but another result of Russian sovietism. These children have been forced to resort to unsocial practices, stealing and thieving, only to divide the spoil among all those who worked, and refusing to care for those who have not descended to such unnatural practices. Civilization itself is being broken down under the efforts for self-preservation. Put the biggest question lies in the consideration of what this existence will mean for the future. None to stable at present, and with the added can on religion, the Soviet government seems deemed to failure. For the destruction of family life means the collapse of this new order. With no restraint or guide, it is not difficult to draw a picture of what will occur when these children have led a so-called "free life," neglected by the state which has refused to carry out its plan of state control and education. Perhaps there may be no future generation in Russia, or at least only the remnants of these lawless and undisciplined children. A more gloomy outlook cannot outcome be conceived. THE LAST LAUGB He who laughs last is dumbest someone quoted Acquist as saying And we haven't laughed yet. It is only time for the first laugh, and William Allen White is taking full advantage of the opportunity. He, along with others, is laughing because we were such dumbbells. We were of the opinion that when we voted for the world court we voted for that alone and not for the League of Nations. We further thought that Mr. White and other propagandists were our friends and were playing square well us. Instead it seems that they have only been playing politics again. Mr. White says that the Gazette has always declared that entrance to the court was preliminary to closer official association with the longtime Wella maybe his mentor did say that, but we have poor eyesight, and maybe it wasn't very clear anyway. It does seem, however, that some influential leaders of our democracy have violated their trust, turned states evidence, and given us a two-faced deal. They kept their voices low while the battle raged. Now that it is over, they are crowling like the cock at the beginning of a new day. But although the one who laughs last is dumbest, it has sometimes been held that he also laughs bed. Maybe the vision of the world court as an interceding wedge is only a nuisance hallucination after all. Maybe some politicians are only having some fun at their own expense. Some time there will be a new day, and another cook will crow his head off. . Editorials From Other Hills The president of the University of Michigan has come out in public and declared, exists at the University of Michigan. "Furthermore, he has called a property be done about the matter." He has also stated that the President of a State university has last descharred that which existed to be maintained by Michigan officials have taken the only step that can lead to the elimination of a campus eye—recognition of the fact. Progress The Daily Illin In the conference that was called to consider the possibility of eliminating distinctions between the college year, the alumni body (we might almost say the university) responded by appointing the president of the alumni association. The conference responded to this by asking the alumni association asking, that drinking at an institution among unauthorized students. Discussion is and has to have been expressed at this viewpoint, insinuasm that it is violation of the federal law. The state capital is in both the state capital and in the national capital, rooms were set aside in which drinking could proceed uninterrupted. The outstanding proposal made at the conference was that advanced by the Board, in agreement, that a room be set made in each fraternity house, which undergraduates could not enter, and in which the alumni could carry on their drinking at the college. Now it seems to us that while the Michigan officials have taken the proper course, they have at the same time discovered the chief reason why attempt to eliminate success.

Little progress can be made toward eliminating the drinking evilt on any campus until the university officials agree in writing to exist of liquor on the campus, for the President of the University of Missouri, to release it until the public and the alumni come to realize the undesirability of drinking on the campus, regardless of the Book Notes Arrowsmith, by Sinclair Lewis; Harcourt, Brace and Company; New York. --in Arwimowith, now a year old, is more than an interpretation of the spirit and practice of the medical profession in the United States.
