P ERSONS who dislike seeing con-, victed criminals marching behind the American Flag and applauded by impression-] able school children welcome Warden Peter Gray's announcement that his band is to take a vacation. The warden's decision follows the get-a-way in Detroit of one of his men. Public resentment, which had already been rumbling, burst into a roar. The warden has taken the hint, Generosity should be accorded the person who1 slips. Every effort should be made to help him on the road back -every effort, that is, that doest not tend to make for more errors on the part of other people. The effect, particularly on young- sters, of the lionization of men who have made mistakes can only be counted as an influence int the wrong direction. The Case Of LieUt. Murrell.. . T HE attention of many people will be directed in a few days to the trial of Lieut. John Murrell, former West Point1 football star, on a charge of rape in Texas. If convicted, Murrell faces death in the electric1 chair. This editorial is no brief for Lieutenant Mur-1 rell. We do not believe he should be extended legal favoritism because of his fame. We do hope that the attention which will attend the case be-+ cause of the fame of the principal will do a great amount of good in leading to a nationwide protest against the severity of the Southern laws based upon a false sense of chivalry. That a man's life should be taken from him on this charge we believe to be one of the worst travesties of justice remaining in the American legal system. In the first place, the nature of the offense is not, in itself, capital. If capital punishment must remain as a penalty, it should not be invoked for anything less than murder. Secondly, it is very difficult to ascertain guilt in the matter. The threat of death penalty for rape encourages blackmail to an unlimited extent, A man may become the victim of a woman's re- venge. Too, when popular prejudice has been awakened against a man or a group or race, it is usually possible to find a girl who will risk her repltation, if she has any, to bring "justice" down upon the head of a victim on this basis. The sex racket is the oldest known to woman. The South should come down to earth. The "honor" of its women is no more endangered than that of the women of any other section. Death for rape is a vestige of medieaval barbarism and, with l1vn-hin r nhnld he winedo nut By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, - In the light of subse- quent events, President Roosevelt's "we-are- on-the-right-track" summary of recovery progress takes on a different meaning. He might have paraphrased Grant to say "we will fight it out on this line if it takes all winter," and all spring and summer and so on, too, for that matter. The thought is prompted by the caution with which the new home gold market machinery was given its first try out. Public interest - and con- fusion - centered so much in that administration recovery novelty that other aspects of the presi- dential review of the whole recovery situation were more or less lost sight of. EVERYBODY talked gold. A surprisingly large number of real or alleged economic author- ities honestly confessed they did not know what it was all abou t. The White House, either blandly silent or tallatively uncommunicative, seemed bent on keeping them guessing as to its ultimate monetary policy beyond the fact that the Presi- dent is moving and has been moving ever since March 4 toward a managed currency. BY and large, with excitement over the new gold price-fixing experiment abating, the Presi- dent's report of eight months' progress in the re- covery drive was highly encouraging to many; his warning that it might take one, two or even three years to go the rest of the way highly significant. H i s "we-are-on-the-,right-track" conclusion sounded an advance notice of defeat for senators or house members planning new recovery legisla- tive projects of their own. They will have to be able to beat a veto to change the course of events. There is as yet no sign of that. With the season less than three months away, Mr. Rossevelt looms as still the master. NAVY day gave the second President Roosevelt an opportunity to pay his respects to the first President Roosevelt. It was, in fact, a Roosevelt family affair all the way 'round. A President Roosevelt (Franklin D., democrat) wrote to an acting Naval Secretary Roosevelt (Henry L., democrat) to tell him that it was "par- ticularly fitting" that the birth anniversary of President Roosevelt (Theodore, republican) should be used to commemorate jointly "that great American President" and the navy. Yet suppose Navy day had been established dur- ing the 1913-21 period, or this year. Probably March 18 would hav.e been chosen instead of Octo- ber 27. The former is the birth date of Grover Cleveland, democrat and father of the modern navy. ROF. A. A. BERLE says the Roosevelt profes- sorial brain trust "ended its activties on or about March 15. As a member, he has authority to speak; yet his fellow professors, still numerous and active in Washington, may not agree. Editorial Comment OHIO STATE LEARNS FROM MICHIGAN Editor's Note - The following was printed in a recent issue of the The Ohio State Lantern, in the To The Editor column. To The Editor: I quote from a Lantern editorial of October 24: "The rally held Thursday evening before the team left was a success . .. We liked especially the efficient manner in which the program was han- dled . . . This year every member of the eleven was introduced to the crowd . .. I have an idea that the writer of the editorial quoted was not present at the "pep" rally held at Ann Arbor Friday night; I have grave doubts as to whether he was present at the "pep" rally held Thursday at Columbus. Perhaps I'm wrong, but no one when asked seems to remember having seen or heard any member of the football team at the rally, much less "introduced to the crowd," ex- cept at the very end of the rally, and then the members of the team quietly appeared and disap- peared into their respective cabs without a word to the crowd. It reminds one of the (P) dispatch appearing Friday in a Toledo paper; it seems that there was a big bonfire on the campus before the team left, and then the student body accompanied the team down High Street to the station. To those who had the good fortune to be present at the "pep" meeting at Michigan, it was indeed quite a contrast to the one held here. There the meeting was held indoors in a beautiful addito- rium. The place was packed to the doors soon after the meeting started. On the stage appeared the band, the cheerleaders, Hurry Up Yost, the athletic director; Judge Day of Toledo, and vari- ous other alumni. The band played, the speakers did their "stuff," and the crowd sang and cheered with the aid of cheerleaders. All songs and yells were trown on a screen suspended across the back of the stage. The talks given by the alumni and Hurry Up Yost, the athletic director, were inspiring and full of pep, and were enthusiastically received by the students apd the large number of alumni mak- ing up the crowd. To listen to Mr. Yost. one would think it was an Ohio State "pep" meeting, for the spent at least two-thirds of his time praising things pertaining to Ohio State. Outsiders at the rally, and I noticed many Ohio men there, were treated to something a little dif- ferent when each speaker stood up to speak to the crowd. As each stood up to address the crowd he doffed his suitcoat and rolled up his sleeves. Just an old Michigan custom. Incidentlly, none of the Michigan yells ended with a "Beat Ohio;" not one. After the rally was over, the band marched ** Cooloo Blake........... Lillian Harvey Ronne Gregory...... , ......Lew Ayres Gerald Gregory... Charles Butterworth Cupid ................ Harry Langdon "My Weakness" is a comedy form of the Cin- derella story. But there is quite a bit more to this story of a chamber-maid who is elevated to to the position of a lady. The elevation comes about because of a bet between Ronne Gregory and his uncle about the ability of Cooloo Blake to marry a rich man. The complications are flavored by good incidental music, by Miss Har- vey's adolescent charm, by Charles Butterworth's unique comedy, and by Harry Langdon's presence as cupid, a role to which he is well suited. Note- worthy features of "My Weakness" the settings done by Gordon Wiles, the beautiful girls, and es- pecially the laughs. Along with the feature picture there are the news reel, a Grantland Rice Sportlight about. wrestling, and a comedy which would be better in the cutting room than on the screen. -C. B. C.

College students of today are superior physically to generations of students in years past,*according to a survey made at Harvard University. Every male student at the University of California must undergo two weeks of foot- ball training; one week in the line and one in the backfield. In a survey at Hunter College, New York, it was found that of the 650 co-eds only one intends to marry after graduation. The others are planning to work. Reaching peculiar heights in cirricula, Butler University is now offering a course in the art of staying married. The professor, twice a victim of matrimony himself, proposes to advise along all angles of the institution. Observings from here and there - One of the youngest college students this year is at- tending Marshall College at Sandyville, W. Va. He is only thirteen years of age - Harvard men who desire employment are enrolled in a social register whose business it is to furnish male escorts for "Deb" parties -Statistics prove that married students at Wyoming Uni- versity average better grades than those un- attached. The University of North Carolina is to have a new battle song. This song, by Kay Kaiser, is built up on all traditional songs and yells of the University. Kaiser is doing his best in an attempt to revive cheering at his Alma Mater. Stanford University rules that queens must weigh at least 150 pounds. In this case, there wouldn't be many beauty queens represented at these new enny aou n dm dances.
