There is one redeeming feature about the slow progress of the Hillbound street car. It affords the student plenty of time for a general review of the encing subject to be dealt with.
LOEB-LEOPOLD
The penalties for violation of the laws are fixed by the legislative bodies of our states and nation. The duty of inflicting these penalties is given to the members of the judiciary, all of whom are employees of the people and who are expected to interpret the law and apply it to each criminal case within their jurisdiction.
The nation has shown great interest in the infamous trial of the two Chicago youths for murder and kidnapping. The facts of the case are well known and it is probable that a great majority of the American public agree with the assistant state attorney of Cook county, Illinois, John Savage, that the crimes of Richard Loeb and Nathan Leoed, 30, are the "most cowardly, dastardly and cold blooded" known to the American public.
The state of Illinois has chosen to make loss of life the extreme penalty for murder and kidnapping. The people of that state have elected representatives to their state legislative bodies to make such laws and then have elected Judges and states attorneys to enforce their will.
With the facts of the murder and kidnapping of young Robert Frank well in our minds, surely there have never been a just cause for indicting the death penalty, if Leeb and Leopold are rightfully committed to the penitentiary for the rest of their lives. Time and time again, men have paid with their lives for crimes in which the turpitude was clearly not an great as it was in this case.
One of two things is wrong: either there is no justification for capital punishment or Chief Justice Cavely made a great mistake in his decision given to the court yesterday morning
A majority of the people of the state of Illinois evidently are strongly in favor of capital punishment for such crimes, for the statutes are very clear in their meaning. This means that the judgment of one man has been pitted against the majority, and the one man's judgment has been taken as final. There is no recourse, but this is one more prominent example showing the elasticity and weakness of our judiciary.
And more serious even than the technical position of Judge Caverty is the aspect which the administration of justice assumes in the eyes ofOptional criminals. Youth and abnormality were the grounds of the judgment. A man may commit a crime that to him seems essential, such as the destruction of a person whom the law cannot reach and yet who is a constant man to defensepeople, and he goes to the gallows or it; rightly, of course, if capital punishment is ever right, for society cannot permit justice to be taken into the hands of private individuals. But a hideous crime is committed in cold blood, for brutal enjoyment, and the criminal escapes the extreme penalty because he felt no sympathy for his victim. If he is not restrained by anything within himself and is then taught that he need not fear the law, what is there to restrain him?
These murderers were young. While their trial was going on, in Cook County jail lay a youth no older than he, waiting execution for the crime of murder. They are wealthy, he was
What conclusion is youth—is any body—to draw?
Don't it asking almost too much to require these Fashion women to keep in a day of silence. Not to mention the rest of the women.
A GOOD BEGINNING
A GOOD BEGINNING
"I haven't time. I'd like to, but I haven't time."
During these leisurely days before classes open it is difficult for most students to realize that in a few days these words will be heard on the campus many times. Freshmen can possibly realize how work can accumulate, but upperclassmen know that we never seem to "catch up" with our work. We always have back papers to be written or reference books to be read. We drift along through the weeks with back work hanging over our heads so to speak, until the semester ends. Then typewriters click into the night and sleepy-eyed students carry hasily written reports to their classes the next day.
It's a horrible existence, we all agree. But there is a remedy. And that remedy is to begin the first day of classes to systemize one's time; to form habits of study time and keep them until they are followed mechanically. In that manner lessons are prepared without needles; waste of effort—that exercise of will power consumed in "settling down to study."
Often we do not realize the cost of this delinquency until it is too late and we find ourselves in the predecement of the committee which postponed its meeting on account of rain. It never met.
And quizzes go on forever
Well, now we start doing our Walter Camp up Oread.
USE DISCRETION
Varsity time has come and Saturday the twentieth the sting line will probably be even longer than usual, F. A. U., will seem smaller than it did last year, and students will take great pleasure in speaking of the "Big Brawl." The stages have been asked to stand back, to make way, but such advice has gone by unheeded. Many times it has seemed the men made a wider circle and monopolized more of the dance floor. They have not only chatted themselves, but shown a lack of courtesy. Every one realizes that a Varsity wouldn't be a Varsity, without stage. They are wanted, but the advice still stands, "Use discretion."

CAMPUS OPINION
--is an especially good investment for the prices are most reasonable and the quality is unquestioned.
Another slap in the face has been given to the Ku Klux Klan through the action of William Allen White of Emporia and Senator Carr W. Taylor, of Hutchinson, White and Taylor will run for governor and Taylor will run for Ben Quietan ben S. Paulen, if the "public sentiment" urges them to do it.
In a signed statement issued by Mr. White from Emporia last night, he stated that they were willing to run against Paulen and the Klan. Paulen has lined up the Republican party to oppose the Klan, and stand against the Klan that the national Republican leaders have taken. For that reason the anti-Klan sentiment has brought these two Kansas men to the foreground in what may be one of the hardest political fights of the times. The Republican party will be one of the determining issues in the division.
Gradually the Klan is facing deat. Gradually it is receding int the background for a rule without thiefs in the back. The robbed man coming in the night.
The petitions have gone out from the White headquarters. If they return with a sufficient number of signatures immediate plans will be made by the new tram of White and Taylor for the gubernatorial race. The time frame for Kansas is to stand in the Klan issue as she has done with in days before with the slave situation and the prohibition question. T. E. W.

There is no hostile purpose in the plans but the program is one of self-education; that the United States may know its strength and possibilities of defense, accompanying the known power of each nation, so each power ever may be altruistic.
Such preparation truly may be interpreted as a move for peace. There
is no surer invitation to affront than a reputation for national weakness or indifference to encroachment through a lack of power to resent inattention.
We, the people of the United States, in order to... provide for the common defense... do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America.

National Defense day is dedicated to preparedness but it is a preparedness of peace and as such entitled to the support of all Americans who would keep the nation free from contempt in the eyes of other nations. Stroke, free and powerful, the health of our people is an important role in preserving the transitivity of the world and it can do so best by knowing its wealth of might, yet disclaiming in its sense of security to use it on a weaker nation.
