German Industry and British Publicity

II the Germans can do half the wonderful
things they are said to be doing, by the British
press agents, then they almost deserve to win
whatever they desire. The latest high tribute
to German ingenuity and resourcefulness is that
a process has been discovered for making butter
from sunflower oil. Just before this the Lon
don promoters sent out word that Teutonic
highbrow had succeeded in making palatable
and nutrItve bread from wheat straw. What
example, where millions OF tons OF sunflower
oil and wheat straw go to waste each year. With
what Joy the Jayhawker hereafter will see lunch
time approach, when with a sunflower In one
hand and a bunch OF wheat straw in the other
he can HE himself TO the shady side OF his ma
chine and indulge in the glorious reflection Of
bread and butter, the while he lets his mind dis
port itself with one of William Allen whites
fine dissertations on the beneficent effects OF
prohibition.
The world is no longer in doubt as to the
Germans industry In research and discovery,
and is willing to admit. in connection with al
most any mooted problem in science. that If
anybody kin. he kim but whatever OF recent
experiments the German may have made In hope
of adding to the sources OF food supply they
have been undertaken as pioneering and not TO
meet immediate necessities. Authenticated re-
ports from Berlin are such to dispel any no
ton that the empire is suffering from shortage
Of food to the extent that impels search for sub
stitutes for bread and butter.

Liberty and Responsibility.

At the celebration OF the silver anniversary
OF the Catholic University OF America Cardinal
Gibbons discoursed with much eloquence and
force on the relation of higher education to citi-
Eenship. and especially laid stress upon the re-
sponsibility of the university to the public The
mission OF the church in connection with learn
ing. particularly through the Middle Ages. was
referred to, and the growth OF the democratic
idea that came with the spread OF knowledge
and enlightenment But. said the cardinal:
The growth OF democracy does not imply that each
shall become law unto himself. but that he
shall feel In himself the obligation to obey II the
acting power has been Transferred from the will Of
the ruler the win OF the people the binding eoer
Give power has been laid with greater OF respon
sibity than ever before upon the Individual
Unless be taught that obedience Is right
and honorable and alike for private interest
and public veal. iesislation will avail but little the
lawmaking power viii become moekery and the
people themselves will complain that legislation has
been carried 20 excess.
To whom shall the obedience required be
rendered? That order and harmony may con-
troll and without these elements society cannot
exist. Il is essential always that somewhere be
established the fountainhead OF authority In
the United States the most noteworthy, IL not
the best. example OF democracy this center is
the people themselves. and from them should
proceed the ediets for the proper regulation of
the affairs of the people. and the relations be.
tween individuals. Thus does the liberty OF the
individual bring with It the responsibility OF the
individual.
Cardinal Gibbons is right in his conclusions
but he does not carry his postulate 90 its ulti
mate conclusion. Obedience should be rendered
TO the law, because that is the voice OF the peo-
pie, as spoken through the representatives to
whom has been delegated the power and author
ity OF the people. Happily for our prospect OF
continuing as a self-governing people. the in
grained reverence for law and order IL suff-
GENTLY potent TO withstand in time OF stress the
temptation to break away from sound moorings
Our religion, like our politics. is varied, and not
infrequenty vague. but underneath all is a
sound conception OF justice that brought this
nation into life, and on which Il has grown and
viii still grow for it's vitality is more than ever

the downward tendency Is operating in nearly
