racketeers in finance

Only One Racketeer Convicted Of

Murder In Chicago Records    Show

Fri. Jan- 23—Paul Blanshard. director of City Affairs committee of New York City, spoke to the student body In chapel this afternoon from 2:30 until 3:30 o'clock on the general topic of "Racketeering High and Low, A Social Interpretation, The talk was    not only of gangsters but

the racketeers of high finance, advertising, land gambling, and poli-tics, concluding with a discussion of racketeering and the decadence of the American spirit.

In telling of the vast extent of the gangster racketeering the speaker stated that in Chicago, the capital of the racketeers, the gross Intake per week is $5,575,000. and that three-fourths of this amount Is profit. The profit on beer alone Is 600 per cent while on whiskey It Is 300 per cent. Speakeasys make a profit on an average of 25 per cent, the speaker asserted.

"The reform school is not n reform school for gangsters," stated Mr. Blanshard. "There has been only one man In Chicago ever convicted of murder as a result of gang-load activities. The records show that gangland men do not live to a ripe old age."

Gangland is not the only place where we have racketeering, the speaker remarked. Politics is full of this form of racketeering and we cannot go long with such a doublemoral service. Eighty or 90 per cent of all transactions on the New York stock exchange arc purely gambling,

Mr. Blanshard gave two distinct causes for the existing conditions of racketeering. The first of these, the speaker stated, In the fact that the economic system of the United States has grown beyond comprehension and beyond control. His second cause was the fact that standards of work have been undermined.

BINFORD GIVES TALK

Coach Says To Check Up On Your

Health First

Wed.. Jan. 21—"Good health is the greatest asset that an Individual may possess," stated Couch Melvin J. Binford in giving his first chapel talk The world has lost many thru diseases; Keats died at the age of 21. Some have discovered too late that fame and fortune will not bring with it good health. Health in freedom from disease and more than that, it is the quality of life that readers the individual free to serve most and live best. Most anyone that wants good health bad enough can have it.

“The first thing to do." said the Coach, "is to check up on our health. This should be done by a good phys-ician. then the following things should be observed:    1. Careful se-

lection of diet. 2. Get plenty of fresh air, out of doors. 3. Sunshine is a good medicine. One cannot get too much if taken moderatively. 4. Dring plenty of pure water, at least 6 glasses daily. 5. Rest at least one-third of every 24 hours. 6. Physical exercise should be a part of our daily life. 7. Daily work is Important. 8. Clothing should be regulated by weather. Never sacrifice health for fashion."

The health idea as given by Coach Binford is thus:

1. To be able to carry out with zest the day's work. 2. To be able to eat 3 meals a day. 3. To be able to enjoy 8 bourn of sleep. 4. To be able to take some strenuous physical exercise each day. 5. To be able to enjoy the society of other people. 6. To be able to carry out some hard task each day. 7. To be able to live, talk, and sell health. 8. To be able to serve well.

HOW DO YOU TACKLE YOUR JOB EACH DAY?


The second semester is well underway and again we grapple with the tasks that are our. How do you tackle your work each day? Are you seared of a do you take it with an easy mind, or fearfully pause to view it, or do you dread the very thought of toll?

Self confidence is one of the dominating feature of work, you can do as much as you think you can but you'll never accomplish more If you are afraid of yourself There in little In store for you If you are afraid of your task. Failure comes from the inside first and it is there If you only knew it. One can win success, the you are facing the worst, if you feel that you're going In do it.

Success! It's round in the until of everyone. and not In the realm of luck It is the world that furnishes the work for one to do and It Is up to the individual to furnish the pluck. One can do whatever he thinks he can for it is all in the way you view it.

Don't be afraid to tackle your task each day. do you meet it with confidence clear or dread? What do you have in your mind each day as you go to work, in it fear? The next one von tackle, think that you are going to do It


YES. In the ideal society we will have community kitchens.

BUT. what will sign reading. "Home Made Pastry." "Mother's Cook-ies," "Country Fried Sausage and "Home Cooking" mean?

AND how Will women perpetuate the race since the way to a man's heart is thru his stomach? By her skill In selecting good community kitchens?

YES. In the Ideal society we will have state distribution of groceries. securing efficient delivery boys by using the Civil Service bureau.

BUT. to whom will they deliver except the community kitchens, which buy In huge quantities will undoubtedly go direct to the producer and cut nut the dasturdly middleman— the state.

AND what will 90 per cent of the lawyers and 100 per cent of the divorce court judges do when the grocery boys and ice men cease having the opportunity to provide ground for divorce? More technological un-employment!

YES. In the ideal society we’ll have community laundry's and darning machines.

BUT, who wants to be the community washerwoman, and how will the gossiping societies continue if they are deprived of the neighbor's. washing line as a subject of conversation?

AND, who is a man to "rake over the coals" when his collar Is starched poorly? Passing the Buck" In an evil already.

YES. In the Ideal society every woman will have a career.

BUT, what woman will want one if every other woman has one?

AND where will we get enough poodle dogs if every woman has a career?

YES. In the Ideal society every man will work for the good of all. each having for consumption his proportionate share of the total produced which means that all college students will get the same grades. The Bell shaped

curve will be useless.

BUT, who wants to make grades while someone else "necks” or plays bridge?

AND. who wants to plow corn while the other fellow drinks or wins the gulf tournament?

YES. In the Ideal society every person will be a college student from a “School of Quality" like McPherson, each showing Interest In the words of a great leader like Mr. Blanchard.

BUT. as at McPherson, half of them while lending an ear will be chewing gum and whispering like "talkies." permitting vital truths concerning vital questions to fall from their minds like water rolls from a duck's bock.

AND. so In the ideal society as every other one. fools will he fools, workers workers, schemers schemers, and Individual's trails and charac-teristics will path men shea din the system regardless of the system.

YES, I'm slightly pessimistic.

BUT, I don't play bridge nor neck—a lot.

AND, WELL! You writs one.— (Submitted)-


Paul Blanshard is indeed, as be himself stated. an Idealist and a dreamer. Solutions to the economic problems that he predicted are far ahead of the present trend of thought, but It is quite evident that before a number of years are past that a few of the decided changes that he bas suggested will be forced to come for the good of the laborer.

Mr. Blanshard's suggestion as the pushing up of the Inheritance and Income tax for a better distribution of the wealth of the nation seems to be a vague but accreditable solution, it was evident during the election last fall In Kansas, when the attempt was made to paw the graduated Income tax amendment, that It Is going to be a very difficult task to make the change from the old form of taxation. The proposed amendment was to place the greatest tax burden upon the shoulders of those who were most able to pay and to free the farmer from his heavy burden of taxation. It was the farmers of the state and the "Dr” Brinkley gang that defeated this measure, Brinkley wee against It because It was he that It would most severely effect. The farmers were against It because It was some-thing new end they did not quite understand It. A few states are enjoying this fairer tax are free from the heavy property tax to a great extent and the person she Is most able to pay is now paying the greatest burden  of taxes.


So Rudy has insured his life for one-half million- We wonder how he manages to get along with himself.


The earmarks of genius often need washing.

Last week, I thought Spring was here, but it must have been some other year It reminds me of the Scotchman who got so warm he nearly spent a dime for an ice cream soda, but being of a practical nature, he drew a book from his pocket and began to read furiously It was a collection of ghost stories that made his blood run cold

"Born?”

‘Yes, sir.”

"Where?"

•Russia."

•What part"

‘All of me."

•'Why did you leave Russia?"

"I could not bring it with me." "Where were your forefathers born?”

"I only got one father."

"Your business?"

“Rotten.”

"Where it Washington?"

"He's dead.” I mean the capital of the United States?”

“They loaned It all In Europe “Now do you promise to support the Constitution?

"Me? How can I? I've got a wife and six children support.”

We "Spec” that a group of four hikers In overalls and knickers. who were stretched out resting in front of the mausoleum and discuss-ing their preferences as to future homes. felt just a little to creepy when they sat up and noticed a funeral procession headed their way and al most upon them! But we also"Spec” that there was some of the best sprinting done. In the opposite di rection. that has been seen in many a day.

Say, are you going in take The Family?"

‘‘No.” answers Ethel. “I am going by myself."

If I was as bad as they say I am And you were good as you look, I wonder which one would feel the worse

KNOWN SPEAKER HERE

Paul Blanshard. New York, Talks On Economic Situation


The Spectator did not spring up full grown In a day. it is the product of years of development, just as it has had a past, it will have a future Ups and downs, but mostly ups. have characterized the evolution of the College paper thru thirty-five years of continuous growth. starting with the unpretentious little teacher and Student in 1896    changing later to

the larger Rays of Light In 1900. to the McColpa in monthly publications, evolving Into the weekly Spectator In 1918. which has since experienced growth.

The first Teacher and Student, a at sixteen-page pamphlet, several of them advertising, published by the faculty. appeared July 15. 1896 Members of the faculty conducted the deportments; editorial. Bible, sci-ence. English. pedagogy, commercial, and musical, Most of the copy was editorial, being homilies directed to the plastic students. and no headlines were used Such general subjects an Mormonism. lynching, national debts, arbitration, and free silver were discussed. and It may be Infer-red that the students were not allowed to become narrow in their In terests. Thus few attempts were made to make the Teacher and Stu-dent a means of dispersing news Every issue of the Teacher and Student was edited by Pres. C. E Arnold.

Rays of Light succeeded the Teach-er and Student In December. 1899. and it was published by the students for the first time, but under faculty supervision It contained sixteen pages, slightly larger than the previous publication, with a heavy cover After several changes in form and number of pages it became a thirty-six page publication. Editors of Rays of Light Included C F. Gustafson. B B. Baker. F. G. Kaufman. Cline Brothers. C. H Slifer. H B. Hoffman. Crave Vaniman. D C. Steele. and George Wynn

In 1915 it seemed as the the student body seemed to have been suf-ficiently Inculcated with the Meals of the institution they were suffered to publish the McColpa without strict faculty censorship. For two years the McColpa, taking Its name from the first letters of the words. "McPherson College Paper." was printed every month, a thirty-six page paper, larger than Rays of Light and it was stilled by Lester F. Kimmel and Estel Jones.

Nineteen hundred seventeen saw a decided change In The Spectator and the transition from magazine to newspaper took place and a four-page weekly, half as large as the present Spectator emerged for the approval of both students and facul-ty. Simple headlines began to be used and news was the Important commodity of the paper The next year a six-page Spectator was issu-ed every two weeks, and In 1919 It hounded to an eight-page weekly of the same size In 1921. under the leadership of Orville Pole, now In the Halstead high school, it became the size that it is today. In the last fourteen years The Spectator has been edited by Lester F. Kimmel. Raul D. Hoffman. Gladys Heaston, Paul C. Warren. Jay W. Tracy, Orville D. Pote. Dale Strickler. Laura McGaffey. Paul Lentz. Kenneth Rock.

the profession among them are Ed-ward Frantz, once associate editor of Rays of Light, who is now editor of the Gospel Messenger and Lester F. Kimmel. now editorial writer on the Wichita Eagle staff

So the process has been one of gradual development in size, style, and make-up. The staffs, working against great odds —many members being without newspaper training have by hard work admirably over-come their difficulties.

OTTAWA U. WINS IT

IN AN EXTRA PERIOD

With 30 Second. To Play Bull-dogs Are Two Points Ahead

By Vernon Rhoades

Ottawa, Kan. Jan. 23—The Mc-Pherson college Bulldogs were defeated by the Ottawa Braves here to-night. 27 to 31, In a Kansas conference game which started out rather slowly but ended In an extra period thriller.

The first three-fourths of the game, the hard fought, was ragged, features by wild passing and non-scoring set-ups, with Ottawa generally keeping n few points in the lead. The score at the end of the first half was 12 to 6 for Ottawa In the last half the Bulldogs round the basket and a scoring duel developed between Hill of McPherson and Binns and Kepner of Ottawa, leaving the Bull-dogs with a two-point margin until the final thirty seconds, when Kep-ner looped one to tie the score at 23 to 23

In the five in minute play-off Ottawa held the advantage. scoring eight points to three for McPherson.

Hill of McPherson was high point man. scoring 13 counters. while Binns, lengthy Ottawa center, chalk ed up a total of 10 points. Three Ottawa players were hampered some-what by recent smallpox vaccinations

WESLEYAN COYOTES TO BE HERE FRIDAY NIGHT

Salina Team Able To Hit The Basket Consistently

BULLDOGS ARE READY

Friday night the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes will come out of the north with a very determined manner in an attempt to defeat the McPherson college Bulldogs after their stinging defeat at the hands of St. Mary's who McPherson defeated early in the season.

All five of the first string men of the Coyotes are able to hit the baskets Suran. playing forward. Is probably their leading scorer, and with Dyck. Mortimer. Williams, and Kinnamon, make a team that will be difficult to defeat

Even basket ball men tip good looking waiters on basket ball trips.

Then the men are telling one on a Bulldog player who was talking to a man a Ottawa before the game last Friday night. There were to be two games in that city that one night and the man did not know which one to see. The McPherson player, a substitute. suggested that he go to the other game and then come to the Ottawa game for the last few min utes because that would be the time he would be playing. . .. L L.

UTOPIA

If days were always perfect.

And skies were ever blue:

If friends worn always clever And every Joke were new;

If everything we wanted Had prices we'd afford.

Life might be nearly perfect— But wouldn't we be bored?

Then there was the Scotchman who moved from one home to another and went crazy trying to find out what to do with his homing

Edna Hoover, Gulah Hoover, Mildred Doyle, Ethel Jamison, Posey Jamison, and Vernon Rhoades spent the week end at Topeka, after attending the Ottawa game Friday night.

Coach Melvin Binford and his crew of cagers will be ready for the attack of the invaders and with Ottawa's victory hanging over them they are going to put up a hard scrap. Daily practices are taking place to condition the team for the game Friday night. The same night the McPherson high school will have a league game, which will start at 7:30 with the college game scheduled at 8:45.

The probable starling line-up for the Bulldogs will find Hill and Rump


Our attention has been called to the fact that there Is a class of athletes who are not the men, students and spurt fans see on the basketball court. It Is this group of men who make the strength and acquired skill of varsity squads. They receive no recognition and do not play before the crowd In "real" games. These men must be content to watch their teammates receive the honor and glory of inter-collegiate competition they are the ones that take a good deal of punishment and then come up for more, so that their team might win for their alma mater. Some of team may be "regulars" tomorrow and some will be nothing but "subs” throughout their college experience. A good deal of a team's credit goes to the ones who are content to play before empty seats In an empty gym-


St. Mary's pulled the "wool" down over the eyes of Kansas Wesleyan last week end to give sports fans a little surprise in the form of an "up-set" This little act of St Mary's sort of busted up the Coyotes' hopes for a Conference championship this year. The gallant Knights one point more than doubled the score on the Salina team but the St. Mary’s team has been improved since their first loss to McPherson early In the sea-| son With the addition of Kienck | and the football Injuries of Colona  healed, the Irish are due to give their future opponents a hard scrap.


A week ago Jamison. guard. was the high scorer of McPherson but now Hill has forged ahead with a total of 49 points and Jamison Is sec-ond with 46. Anderson and Binford are third and fourth respectively with 35 and 34 points. The margin is very Burrow and with Rump creeping up among them all the time with a total score of 23 points it is quite likely that no one man is going to be the outstanding scorer McElroy broke Into the scoring list in the Ot-tawa game
