Robot Limitations.
The ROBOT may startle the world. 1t

Quite well with some tasks that men
used to pursue.
1t may swing pick and shovel with
swiftness and strength
And add columns of figures of infinite
length.
But time surely comes when the world
feels the need
OF the human intelligence which will
take heed
OF life and its sorrows and fortunes
strange plan.
You can't always employ the me-
canical man.
The robot can't measure the forces
that lie
In the turn of the lip or a glance Of
the eye
Or in high aspirations that fall by the
way
In the ruthless routine that goes on
day by day.
1t can gather vast treasure and yet 1t
is blind
In seeking way to assist all mankind.
Though a dutiful drudge as it does what
it can,
You can't always employ the me-
canical man.

flce in many cases, Kansas sticks to
the cause of prohibition. For example.
there are IA candidates for the House
in Kansas, Republicans and Z Demo-
Gratis, and only l of the lot is run
ming as wet. The wet nominee is
E. w. Patterson, a Democrat, running
in the third congressional district
against Representative McGugin. Repub-
lican, who is dry. At present it looks
as though the Republicans would win
in the first. second. fourth and seventh
districts. where Representatives Lamb
ertson, Guyer, Hoch and Hope are seek
ing reelection, all Republicans. The
chaEces seem to favor McGugin in the
third district. The Democrats are ex-
pected to re-elect Representative Ayres
in the fifth district-he represents at
present the eighth district. but there
has been a redistrictins because of the
eapportionment act and Kansas loses
a district. In the sixth district. where
the Democrats have nominated a wom-
an, Miss Katheryn O'Loughlin. against
Representative Sparks, there is real
fight on.
The part that Norman Thomas, the
Socialist candidate for President is to
play in the election this year may be
far more important than appears on
the surface. It Is obvious that the votes
Mr.. Thomas gets will not be votes that
otherwise would go to President Hoover
It would appear, therefore, that a big
Socialist vote in any State would be
detrimental to Roosevelt, the Deomcrat,
since the effect would be to split the
opposition to the G.. o. P. candidate.
Take the case of Wisconsin, for example,
where the Socialist party is strong, par
ticularly in Milwaukee. If Thomas rolls
up 100, 900 or 100000 votes, as some pre-
dict he will, the chances for Hoover will
be materially increased.
