The governor, considering that Dr. Jardine had been president of the agricultural college and was well known to Kansans and had not been in Kansas politics and probably would have no thought of getting into politics when he returned to Kansas, telephoned to Jardine in Washington where the former minister was making a final visit to the state department in connec tion with his work in Egypt, and asked him to take the post. Jardine was reluctant to serve but finally agreed on. condition that he be re-J lieved as soon as the office had been reorganized. Under such an agreement, Dr.

Jardine took charge as treasurer and proceeded with the work. Last March he resigned and returned to the educational field as head of the University of Wichita. It is true that Governor Landon might have found someone in Kansas among his political friends and supporters to take the Job. In fact there were many ready to heed the call. But the governor wis hunting "for a capable man who would accept the office under the condition he imposed that he would not be a candidate for the place in the election this year.

Undoubtedly there was criticism of the governor's action by politically- minded persons. the talk now being made will appeal to some kinds of voters. But the average Kansan, who is more concerned about good public service than about good politics, will not pay much attention to the condemnation of the governor for appointing Dr. Jardine. Pittsburg Sim.

Kansas Roadb.au ses Roadhouses are not in good re pute in Kansas and they're getting worse, so much worse that aren't being overlooked in some of the counties where there is a dis position toward law enforcement. Roland Boynton, attorney gen eral, asked the Sedgwick county of ficials some weeks ago what he could depend on them to do in the matter of cleaning up roadhouses near Wichita. They could not promise much so Mr. Boynton went down and put padlocks on id of the re sorts himself. Over in Arkansas City the preachers got busy with the county officials but the county officials couldn't deliver at least the coun try attorney and sheriff didnt de liver.

The preachers hired 1 their own attorney and got an order from the district court putting padlocks on several flourishing roadhouses. The roadhouse business has been the growing business in Kansas these past few months. When a community rises up and smites them the law isnt very active on its own account. It takes a strong public -sentiment to close the places where liquor is. being illegally sold or else a public official with intestines.

THE CHALLENGE TO LIBERTY Herbert Hoover Believing that "in America, where Liberty blazed brightest and by its glow set light to all others, ft is today impaired and endangered," former-President Hoover, in this sincere, straightforward and search--ing book- raises his voice in protest "not at reform, not at emergency actions, but at the threat of the eclipse of Liberty." In current tendencies toward bureaucracy and national regimentation, "the daily dictation by government in every town and village, every day in the week, of how men are to conduct their daily Mr. Hoover sees "the most stupen-. dous invasion of the whole spirit of Liberty that the nation has witnessed since the days of Colonial America." This book puts into' words the fears of hundreds of thousands of American citizens. Ill deals with the fundamentals of American life and ideals, comparing the achievement of the socialism, naziism, and com-, munism.

It analyzes frankly our past abuses of liberty. It reveals the danger that citizens may become the pawns of the state, "the negation of the whole philosophy of liberty." And it considers constructively the method through which alone we can solve national problems. Mr. Hoover has been working on this book for the past year. It is his first statement of any kind to.

No Danger of War While the political assassinations in France yesterday naturally will cause serious international concern, the possibility that a crisis such as war will be the immediate result is only remotely possible. The tragedy revives the memory of the assassination of the Austrian' archduke in Serbia 20 years ago, precipitating the world war, and, some will see an ominous significance in the fact 'that Serbia (now a part of Jugoslavia) figured In both assassinations. But the two situations are entirely dissimilar. There are no conditions existing which would lead to war, and there are some circumstances which serve definitely to prevent a conflict. In the first place it would be impossible to finance a first class war In any country.

And besides, even if nations could afford a war the people arent in any mood to fight now. The present situation differs from the Sarajevo incident in that France and Yugoslavia are on friendly' terms, whereas there was "suspicion between Serbia and the old Austria -Hungary empire. King Alexander was slain yesterday by one of his of subjects, and the murderer was quickly kilted, which ought to satisfy the lost monarch's government of France's sincerity in protecting him. The danger to peace lies in the loss of the French foreign minister, who was a champion, of alliances for the promotion of peace, and the possibility of trouble in Yugoslavia, which is the- key nation to the Balkans. The Crowd Lets Off Steam The.

baseball crowd at Detroit yesterday exhibited in a typically American, but decidedly ungehttemanly fashion, its displeasure of an unsportsmanlike act on the part of one of the 'St. Louis players. The upshot of the affair was that no body was hurt, particularly, the 'fans got rid of a lot of steam, and the offending gentleman was taught a lesson which he deserved. The best part about it is that the matter can be forgotten almost as quickly as it developed, and if there were to be another game tomorrow the chances are that the fellow would go back into play with practically ne mental or physical wear and tear as the result of what happened Opinions of Others Shallow Suff Governor Landon is being attacked by the democrats mm because he appointed Dr. W.

M. Jar dine as state treasurer when the vacancy was created by the resigna tion of Tom Boyd. It is related by democratic campaigners that Dr Jardine was minister to Egypt un der the Hoover administration and the impression is given that Gov nor Landon "sent to Egypt" to get a state treasurer. It is indicated that the people of "Kansas' should resent it because the governor did not name some man in Kansas for the Job. The facts concerning the appoint-, ment ef Dr.

Jardine probably have been forgotten by Kansas. They certainly show how shallow is this "charge" against Governor Landon. When Boyd 'resigned, after Governor Landon had taken charge of the state treasury following the bond scaadaL the governor sought an outstanding eftizen pf Kansas to appoint as state treasurer. A com plete redrgarttzatMB of the office was desired. The governor's plan was 19 name as- treasurer a man well known Kansas and Who held the confidence of the state beyond question.

PUBLIC FORUM It was no foolish whim that caused Robert Emmett to express his desire that his' epitaph should not be written until Ireland had taken her place among the nations of the earth. It was an innate and laudable desire of every honest man to have his life work honestly measured.

I had been Intimately acquainted with John Paddock for 67 years and I can say he was an honest, public spirited, generous man.

SASUIMSIDN A New Yorker at Large By MARK PARSON New York. It isnt often that the common people betray much interest in the rich at play, save it be to bestow, on them a robust blast of denunciation, but the recent in ternational yacht races excited the bourgeoisie like a world series or a million dollar gate fist fight. Reasons for this are various.

For the most part, the man in the street was pulling for Commodore vander-bilt on simple patriotic grounds. There were, however, those who wanted England to take the cup by way of making the races more competitive. But the most pronounced feeling for the event was that exhibited by the devotees of the-laboror-is- worthy-of-his-hire cult. You recall that the Endeavour crew struck for higher wages, it being the conten tion of the sea faring toilers that since the yacht was a rich man's toy, a few added shillings in their pay envelopes had no economic significance. Commander Sopwith, who sees the sense of saving where possible, couldnt see eye to eye with the men, and subsequently took on an amateur crew to work for nothing.

That, to the Rainbow's crew, was an unspeakable and non-understandable situation. "That," they chortled, "is carry ing amateurism too far." And then went out and won the series. In the new play, "Small Miracle," one of the actors is permitted by the author, Norman Krasna, to say: "Audiences at stage plays are not as dumb as movie audiences." This was pretty bold of Krasna, movie writer himself turned play wright. It inspired one man in the audience movie critic, he was te observe to the lass nestling on his arm: "Wheat Krasna sees the play's critical reviews tomorrow morning heU have a deeper appreciation of the truth of that crack." Withal, Krasna Was net com pelled to regret bis statement. The reviews were alt in praise or Ms melodrama.

FLOORS SANDED By Experienced Sanders 3e to 64 ye ft Medrey Holli By HUBBARD KEAVY 1 Hollywood There is interesting speculation in Hollywood these days on the effects and results Max Relnhardt will obtain jhen he gives to the movies the mind that has made jhim a pathfinder on the stage. "Professor" Reinhardt, as the Warners choose to call their newest director, goes in for effects on a heavy scale. In his interpretation "of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in the Hollywood bowl, is an example.

He didn't have a handful of supers march down the mountain behind the stage for the finale: he had 400 men, each carrying a staff on which blazed six torches. Try to picture what Reinhardt will do, with the almost unlimited resources and finances of a movie company, when he comes to this scene in the film version of thu "Dream." is reasonable to suppose, said one wit when he heard about Reinhardt, that he will take sui of Hollywood's 17, 574 extras to Pike's Peak for this ceremony. How Will 'Miracle' Be? How will Reinhardt produce "The Miracle," his highly successful play which Warners now own? The theatres in which it played with 600 players, were converted into great cathedrals. Audiences, it is said, entered these imitation churches with wonder and left with mixed feelings. It.
