Murder—History’s Hero' APPEARING in this issue is a clipping from the Daily Illini com menting upon A1 Capone, czar of the underworld, and the great following being built up behind him through the enormous amount of emotional publicity tendered his activities. Close to home we discover a murder case- the stabbing of Mrs. Leone C. Bowles, and the implication of her husband, Nelson C. Bowles, and his ex-secretary, Miss Irma G. Loueks. Portland newspapers have been filled with stories, have played it high, made heroes of those involved and now, truly enough, the affair may be marked down in the history of Portland as one of its most glorious murders. True, Miss Loueks is a perfect subject for a human interest inter view. She weeps, she ills, and bemoans her predicament. Ah, yes. lying in the hospital, her head against a tear-stained pillow, green eyes gazing plaintively toward the ceiling sort of arouses emotions why not? Bowies may remain in his ceil, clinging tightly to the bars and likewise to his story, but whether guilty or not guilty, the two are implicated in a murder and the public demands facts. Under no condition is the news judgment or the social sense of the Portland newspapers questioned perhaps we would play the stories the same ourselves. But ill effects obviously bulge from hu manity when a ,piesttoned person gets all the “publicity breaks.1 Murder is before the eyes of the public* minor details of a bloody plot are forced into human minds and stabbing is an honor. No. Must murder, colored by stories of emotional appeal arousing pity, stare every reader in the face merely because some demand gruesome pictures and follow tire details religiously? Perhaps they must. After all, it is still “fit to print.’’ Pilgrims—First Foreigners THE first Thanksgiving day was observed by foreigners, for those Pilgrims in the grim winter after their arrival on the Mayflower were truly foreign to the soil, to the privations of the harsh New England coast, to the customs of the Indians. After Thanksgiving this year at the University of Oregon will begin International week, from December 1 to December 7. Those foreigners on the campus, those pilgrims from other countries, are attempting to understand the customs of the new Americans who have followed the red Indians. Whether they too find conflict, find the Pacific coast as hostile and unyielding as the New England coast hundreds of years ago, depends in a measure on the University of Oregon students. It is peculiarly fitting that after the Thanksgiving anniversary of those first foreigners will come this International week the thanks giving for the progress already made and the hope for future under standing. And as the Thanksgiving anniversary has come to mean only the observance of that long-ago day of rejoicing, and as the gloom which enveloped those first pilgrims has vanished, so it would likewise be good to have International week eventually come to mean only the observance of a long-past day when racial prejudice and misunderstanding have vanished. This thud observance of International week, we are sure, will in less than three hundred years from now be a week of rejoicing that those misunderstandings are gone. Oh, so many good bombs are going to waste lately! We'll wager some of the residents of the frame fraternity houses on the campus would just as soon put all that potential energy to use. Headline in morning paper: CAPONE'S INCOME EYED BY EEDEKALS. Yes. you bet, they'd like to get in on some of the gravy themselves. “We've found father's gold," said the woman as she discovered $15,000 in old American coins tucked away in some dilapidated cans. We wonder how many people will clean their attic and storeroom when they read this story. Eugene is not yet safe from safe-crackers. Might be a wise plan to open an account with thugs and take a chance on getting the money hack some day. Senator Bingham advocates the manufacture of t per cent beer. He is also going to introduce legislation to allow physicians to pre scribe malt as well as spirituous liquor. Mon drink, manufacturers use grain, farmers sell grain employment situation remedied. With Other Editors Jilt, t'ArtINK'S sm 1* KITCIIKN One looks with mingled emo tions upon the pictures of Chicago “bread-liners" and children of un employed receiving sustenance at a tree soup kitchen which lias been discovered, perhaps not uninten tionally, to be a charitable incident ir. Lite life of one A1 Capone, Chica go's most famous and at the same i time most disreputable citizen. , The average person feels about! such an incident as he would feeli for the lovable robber in tlie screen plays who has really been a bad, bad boy, but who has a kind heart and a beautiful soul and one just can't help hoping that the dogged, | unrelenting aim of the law won't reach him in the end. The rational will know that one Mr. Capone has maneuvered a vety brilliant piece of publicized charity here to gain for himself the sup port of a public which is swayed by sloppy sentimentality. After having been fed this sort of rot time after time on the screen, read ing it daily in the sob-story sheets ol yellow metropolitan sheets and delving into the fantastic, lioniz ing histories of these modern “Hob in Hoods" the public is in a fine way to be taken m by such bun combe. It appears that rational law- ' abiding citizens will have a diffi cult time cutting down such pow ers as Mr. Capone, and one Mr. Capone in particular. In him they have almost an undefeatable prop osition. He is a law-breaker in a field which is contended against by the general public, and one in which their very demand creates lawlessness; he garners such tre mendous profits from these fields that with the all-powerful money he can brush aside the opposition oi politicians; where money will not prevail, he has armed forces who can intimidate, or if necessary, destroy; and to cap these he seems to be a rather clever field general ; nd one who reads well public tr< ids and desires. It is the last which we believe gives him his great position. With out that his power might be divest ed into the lower channels of a purely criminal nature, but he has shaken the political institutions of the second greatest city in the country, and where he hasn’t in timidated the people into believing that he is all-powerful, he is now attempting to cajole into believing (hat he is a Robin Hood type of a robber baron, fit to rule the countryside perhaps. Unless there is a sufficient num ber of intelligent people who can see past such outward indications of magnaminity the true intent of such acts, and the harm which such individuals are doing to the welfare of the state, powers of the underworld like A1 Capone may become greater dictators in fact of our government and public life than they are at the present time.

And then there is t^re sad case of the four sophomores who all went to the private fraternity library to pick out a suitable theme for report writing, a theme which some brilliant predecessor had left for the brothers who fol lowed.

Dear Ed-(itor)— Since football season is over as far as home games go (and home games often go a long way), and since Mr. Aaron" Frank has duly received a life membership in A. S. U. O. in recognition of his ser vices in promoting the Washing ton game, it is time to bring to mind a statement of several prom inent Portland business men—to the effect, that they will “take the Oregon-Oregon State game to Portland if it is the last thing they do!” We sincerely hope it is the last thing they do—and may they live to a ripe old age! I hope some day to fall in the category of “alums” and Portland games may be more convenient for me, but it would be a tragedy to rob the campus of that feature which makes Homecoming a suc cess every other year. It may be a peculiar idea of my own, but I believe that the A. S. U. O. owes the student body of the University of Oregon at least one good home game every two years. Only when Oregon and O. S. C. hire strictly “pro” teams to wage the “civil war,” or when students commute daily from Portland proper to its University suburb in Eugene, should the Aggie game be taken away. Sincerely. —W103.
