FRIDAY, SEPT.18, 1909 "A favorite method by which spacewriters seek to relieve the rigors of a news famine has long been to siege upon some common place utterance of a college professor, garble or distort it enough to give it an air of novelty, not to say asininity, and build around it a story that he is engaged in the dissemination of weird and dangerous doctrines," said Justice Henry F. Mason in his address this morning. The University of Kansas has not had so many and so varied experiences in this line as many other institutions have had, but several inexecutable stories and purported interviews have been circulated. It is noticeable that the subject of sociology and economics offers the most fertile field for the yellow and irresponsible space-writers, and these scavengers in the field of journalism hasten to twist any casual statement on the subject of marriage, divorce, economies or religion into something naive, startling and unorthodox. A favorite argument of many supporters of the different denominational schools of Kansas is that the University is a hot bed of teachers of strange doctrines. University professors, like all people, have a right to believe as their consciences dictate, and they must necessarily teach the student new things and induce him to form new ideas on all subjects. But these new ideas should not throw the student entirely from his accustomed ways of thinking or disrupt his preconceived ideas. The student generally leaves any University with about the same ideas and ideals he entered with, and whatever changes have been made are generally for the better. Have any of the student representatives of the different wash-houses seen you about your laundry yet? No? Well, just let them know where you stopping, it pains and embarasses them so to miss anybody. An ever victorious football team sure is an advertiser. Every football player for miles around has entered Kansas in order to get in on such a good proposition. Great things, those ever victorious teams. Coach Hamilton has come with a select aggregation of track and field athletes. There will be some big things done on the track and field at this institution this year. Word was received in Lawrence the latter part of July that Archibald K. Fowler, the young Princeton graduate, who had been recently appointed to the position of instructor in the English department of the University, had died of acute diabetes before the news of his appointment had reached him. Mr. Fowler was spending the summer at his home in New York. While in the East last spring, Chancellor Strong met Mr. Fowler and was more than pleased at the prospect of securing him as an instructor for the University. Word was received in Lawrence the latter part of July telling of the tragic death of George Orr, a former K. U. boy while bathing on the beach at La Jolla, Cal. The saddest part of the tragedy was the fact that his bride of less than a month stood on the shore and watched her husband being swept to his death by the undertow. George Orr attended the University from 1904 to 1907. He was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. After graduating from the Law school with honors, he became an attorney for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway at Atchison. A NEW HOSPITAL. The Hospital Fee is $2.50 Till October 16. This year the University hospital association has rented the modern house at 1134 Ohio street and equipped it throughout for a hospital. A regular, experienced nurse will be kept at the hospital at all times and a practising physician will look after all the ailments of the association members. A regular conference hour for boys and girls is to be set aside at which time students can receive any medical attention necessary. The hospital fee if paid before October 16 is $2.50 but after that date it will be $3.00. The association takes into membership only well people, so students should not wait until they are ill with the expectation of joining then. Supplies for spreads, at Vick's.

A One=Minute Talk with Men Here, assembled in one store and ready for your choosing, are the full and complete series of today's authentic suit and overcoat fashions from each of the six great tailoring houses who have shown the most advanced thought and skill in the making of Men's clothes. Pause for a moment and think of the possibilities for you, the consumer. Think of the varieties, the tremendous medley of styles, colors, patterns and textures—then contrast this showing with the varieties displayed by stores who are content to feature the lines of but one clothes maker. Where do you stand the greatest chance of getting precisely what you want—in the store that displays all the styles that others show, PLUS a vast number of styles which NO other store shows, or in the stores that show only a fraction of what we show? It's worth thinking about before you select that new winter suit and overcoat. And it will pay you to do a little comparing on the matter of price, for you will find, upon investigation, that our values are just as safe from successful imitations as our varieties. Winter suits and overcoats $10.00, $12.50, $15.00, $18.00, $20.00 up to $40.00. Complete Fall and Winter Lines Now on Display.
