The Daily Kanan wants to picture the kindergarten teacher for a girl to go further and more energizing the news by standing for the ideals of justice, bravery, integrity, to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be serious problems to utter hearts; to be able to arrive at the ability of the ability to act as a teacher.

PACIFISM
Owing to the conflicting reports of the various newspapers relative to the stand taken by the Methodist conference at Springfield on the pacifist question, it is hard to know just what the situation actually is, but is not hard to appreciate that the issue of pacifism is not limited to any one church or to any one group of people.
Pacifism is not a new idea by any means, but whatever growth the movement may have made within the last few years is probably the usual reaction after a great war. War, for whatever cause, benefits only the few who are untouched by the miseries it brings; to the many who have lost loved ones in the battle or who have suffered directly in other ways, war seems a horrible thing which must be prevented in the future at any cost.
If every nation and every people were agreed on this subject, and if every country could be counted on to net ethically and unselfishly in settling disputes and controversies, there would be no more war and the program of pacifism would be realized. Such an ideal situation, however, is not to be expected. As long as there is jealousy and avarice in this world there will be attempted exploitation and conquest, and as long as there is attempted conquest some means of self-protection is justifiable and inevitable.
There, in the opinion of most persons who are not definitely aligned with the side either of militarism or pacifism, is where the theory of the pacifist falls, through its own impracticability. It is hard to conceive of a powerful nation deciding not to march against a weaker neighbor simply because the latter refuses to resist. Nevertheless, there are strong arguments on both sides of the questions, and students do well to think seriously of the problem in all its aspects before taking a radical stand on either side and hurling derisive epithets at those with whom they disagree.
SHE HAD NOTHING TO SAY
Mrs. Magna Johnson, wife of Senator Johnson of Minnesota, did not create a social sensation when she and the senator took up his home in Washington. Society hardly knew she was in town. Her social engagements were few and when she was able she was only too glad to return to her simple and comfortable home seventy-five miles out from the Twin cities where she might be free to do what she pleased without attracting comments from the few senators' wives who do know of her presence. No, not a riffle of excitement was caused d by either her entry or her exit from Washington.
But Mrs. Johnson is a true diplomat. Today she has found a place in the hearts of the American women—a place which might even bring her votes as an election. They appreciate her considerativeness and whole heartedly thank her for it. It came about in this way—when she was given an opportunity by a reporter during an interview she said that she had no message to give the women of America.
"I haven't a thing to say," she said.
"There are enough people talking.
now, and the other women wouldn't need my advice if I had any to give them."
RANCOR AND GRATITUDE
Only a few weeks ago, the Japanese people staged intense demonstrations of resentment for what they considered a slap in the face—the new immigration bill passed in the United States, discriminating particularly against the Japanese.
Only a few days ago, these people vied with one another in doing harm to the American round-the-world filers who are stopping between bops on Japanese soil, after blazing the air trail across the Pacific ocean.
Only a few years ago, the French people lauded to the skies the nation that was winning the war for them; no praise was too extravagant for the long columns of khaki-clad Americans who swung across France to strengthen her wavering battle-line, and incidentally, to give their lives that the world might be made safe for democracy.
Only a few days ago, the American rugby team defeated the French team in the Olympics match by a score of 17.3. The match was hard fought, but clean, according to all the officials and sports notes of note, representing the various nationalities who watched the contest. And yet, when the American flag was run up the flag staff after the match, the French people in the grandstands hissed and booed, knocked out several American students who were also in the grandstands, and battled with the police who strove to protect the American team.
And thus do rancor and gratitude away the lives of men.
NOW CASH IN
There was an old bit of trickery which was in vogue during the days of the horse. According to tradition and the cartoons, a few wlips of alfalfa or an ear of corn stick to a stick and projected in front of the animal would keep the old carriage in motion. Such tactics are having a revival.
Congress has passed the bonus bill.
No immediate payment of money is to be made except to those men who will receive fifty dollars or less. All higher sums will be paid with twenty year paid up life insurance.
Paying the entire bonus in cash within a comparatively few years
within a comparatively few years would undoubtedly be wrong from an economic point of view. Yet the benefit to the veterans would come in a more easily realized form if cash could be had. The small sums which are to be paid within nine months after the bill is passed can do very little lasting good on the whole.
To the majority of men in this country, life insurance is an unrified investment and those who believe in it are few in number. For them the government policies, which cannot be very large under the up pay plan, only hold off the realization of their bonus dreams until it seems that they will never be realized.
Like the horse after the corn, they have the bonus and yet they haven't it. The organizations and men who have been working for years to get the bill nassed have run into a nose.
The world seems to have gone mad over theory. Every foolish idea that pops into the cranium of the super-intellectual or dreamer r is set upon you and your friends with the vigor of a small boy clausing a garter snake. One of the pet ideas of today is that peace can be brought about by becoming moek
Campus Opinion
The M-thodist church is the latest victim of the peace mania in this country. The Methodists are not going to fight even if the enemy walks right over our land, but will step out with open arms and invite him into the latest church serapan. The fields may be devastated and the homes ruined, but no Methodist will do other than shoot them. The Germans will feel ashamed like the Germans did in Belgium, and retreat.
Now all this is bunk. No Methodist is going to see the nation invaded or the flag overthrown. A few pacifists are out there, but this does not mean that all Methodists are radical pacifists any more than that all men are

Ideal theories and meaningless peace talk are poor food for the children of war, and it is a way of body but how can passive resistance get peace if the causes of war remain*
