MONDAY, MARCH 18, 1912 POOR RICHARD SAYS: Learning is to the studious, and the studied is to the virtuous; to the bold, and heaven to the wirtuous. A WORKING TEAM The first public exhibition of the ability of the Kansas track team will be held in the gymnasium tonight and the students will be given an insight into the prospects for the coming series of meets. Jayhawker hopes were somewhat blasted at the first of the training season, by the announcement that three of the team's surest point winners would withdraw from all competition. Since that announcement however, the coach slowly but surely has been forming a team, selecting rough material of promise and developing it into point winning stuff building up a team of men who know that work is their only aid and who will profit therein. Kansas track athletes this year are hard workers. They have to be It is their fighting blood that place men on the track to give all they have toward a winning team. A spirit of co-operation is imbued in a team like that—every one is working hard and they will win together. Kansas will not have many stars on its squad this year. The best men can win their events only by slight margins, but that is the point That margin is just as valuable to the team as one infinitely greater The firsts thus scored add just as much to the total tally, and for this reason the athlete termed mediocrit should not lose heart. It is the team that counts and it is the team he working with that will win, not an few men to whom individual glory come for work exceptionally done. WOMEN'S ATHLETICS It is certainly a wholesome spirit with which the leaders and members of the organization of the women's athletic association have started their work, and their final purpose is certainly commendatory. The women have created an athletic spirit among their number in a short time and they are following the right theory in the practice of their athletics. It is generally admitted that the fundamental weakness of the men's athletic institutions in America is the fact that comparatively few indulge in the various sports. The hoi polloi is underdeveloped it has been claimed. This may not be said of the women athletes. Those who belong to the women's association are active members and as such are playing or the various teams. They do not care to be grandstand baseball fans or gallery basket-ball players. They find more fun in taking part in the games themselves. SAFE. The Daily Kansan maintains the sunflower reputation for fearlessness and intrepid courage. In spite of strenuous Teddy's oft repeated denunciation of nature faking it regularly brings forth stories concerning the departmental stamp-licking dog who is always on the case; these are sketches relating the intelligence of sand flies and the bollweevil. Thus far they have escaped the big tick-doubtless due to its political activity—but we in a spirit of brotherly warning inspired by a realizations of the effect upon the nation's welfare say—beware. Because Teddy might see fit to denounce the Kansan result, the subsequent ending of her death from this viewpoint we feel sure the Kansan will refrain.—The North Dakota Student. Hasn't the Student noticed that since T. R. told his tales of animal hunting in Africa, he hasn't said a word about nature faking? PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND As to the distinction in professionalism. There is one kind which is bound to be recognized by all colleges sooner or later, and another kind that will be squelched when the college authorities are honest with themselves. The first sort of professionalism is that in which an athlete, either through enthusiasm for sport or a desire to earn honest money, or both, breaks his amateur standing by using his athletic talents to engage in the business of baseball, which is as much a business as selling eggs over the counter for pay. He deserves to be treated with respect, and when he returns to school in the fall he should be considered to have as clear a record as any pampered scion of a plutocrat who has spent the summer at the seashore. The other kind of professionalism is that which worms its way into competition with honda fide amateurs, and these amateurs accepts pleasant gratitudes for its services. The one is honest and above board, the other a counterfeit. The aggregation of college authorities that holds up its hands in holy horror at the idea of a young man playing baseball for money, and winks at the system that permits gratuities in the way of soft jobs, free room rent, permission for absence from classes had better commune with itself and ply the beams from its eyes. When it can see clearly and think clearly the status of a bona fide student who plays baseball in summer for pay and goes to school in winter with the real intention of getting an education will not cause it so much wormment—Sporting News of St. Louis FALSE LOYALTY. It is well enough to be loyal to the university's athletic teams, to the class, to the fraternity, to the social professional club, and to everything else. Loyalty is the big thing in life. Remember, all the time, however, that you are here for your own personal and individual betterment, and that you must needs be loyal to yourself. If you are to develop yourself to the highest point of efficiency, to how many outsides affair can you attach a false string of loyalty? The university really asks that you be loyal to yourself and fit yourself rightly, for that is the big reason. When you have been valued by the university, self and have gone out into the world as a strong, well-rounded individual, the university can point to you with pride and claim you as its product before the world. Indiana Dale Student WORK WORTH DOING It is right and necessary that all men should have work to do which shall be worth doing, and of itself pleasant to do; and which should be done under such conditions as would make it neither over-weariness nor over-anxious. Turn that claim about as I may, think of it as long as I can, I can not find that it is an exorbitant claim, yet again I say if society would be changed the world would be changed; discontent and strife and dishonesty would be ended. To feel that we were doing work useful to others and pleasant to ourselves, and that such work and its due reward could not fail us! What serious harm could happen to us then?—WILLIAM MORRIS. Out of 16,216 names recorded in "Who's Who in America" 56 per cent are college graduates, 15 per cent academy and normal school men, 48 per cent high school graduates and only one-fifth of one per cent self-taught. AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP Trample is the best precept. ONE fine day two Crabs came out from their home to take a stroll on the sand. "Child," said the mother out of water, "ungrateful. You should assist yourself to walking straight forward without twisting from side to side." "Pray, mother," said the young one, "sample yourself, and I will follow you." THE HARP OF ERIN $ \mathbf{T} $ THE harp that once through Tara's halls By THOMAS MOORE. The soul of music shed The soul of music sites. Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls So sleeps the pride of former days, So glows the thrill is clear. For things to make on that's war As if that soul were fled. And hearts that once beat high for praise Now feel that pulse no more. NO more to chiefs and ladies bright hore to chicks and ladies bright The harp of Tara swells. The chord alone that breaks at night Its tale of ruin tells. Thus Freedom now so seldom wakes The only throb she gives s when some heart indignant breaks Some heart-breaking break To show that still she lives. IRISH WIT AND HUMOR Mrs, Murphy—"Bless us, Mrs Casey! I see the doctor's autymobile fornist your house this morning. Is there some one sick?" Speedilitic. Mrs. Casey. "The doctor do say it is a disease he calls 'locomotives an' axis." Mrs. Casey—"Yes. Mike." Here is a story which Baron Dowse, the celebrated judge, once told in that exaggerated "brouque" which he loved to employ. "I was down in Cork last month, holding assizes. The first day, when the jury came in, the officer of the court said: 'Gintlemen av the jury, you'll take your accustomed places, if ye plaze.' "And may I never laugh," said the baron, "if they didn't all walk into the dock." Mrs. Murphy—"An' what is allin' him? " Judge. —W. Harvey (Lippincott) Bridget—Have yez planned yey Easter dress yet, Norah? Norah- 'Ol'm undecided between a directory and an ampire. Economical Dodge —Puck. Mrs. Dooley—"OfI'm take'm' in twelve children to Ireland and be do gettin' their twelve tickets for the price of eleven." A man, arrested for murder bribed an Irishman on the jury with £20 to hang out for a verdict of manslaughter. The jury were out a long time, and finally came in with a verdict of manslaughter. The man rushed up to the Irish juror and said: "I'm obliged to you, my friend. Did you have a hard time?" "Yes," said the Irishman; "an awful time. The other eleven wanted to acquit yez." Mrs. Murphy "Faith, an' a large family is a great savin' to a person" AN AMUSEMENT ROLL W. Harvey (Lippincott).

STUDENT OPINION ANDREW LANG. The editor or is not responsible for the clermer expressed here. Communication must be signed as an evidence. MORE WATER. There are at present no less than six showers in the gymnasium out of commission. No effect seems to be made to keep all of the showers in working order. When one comes down late from Gym class and must wait his turn for the bath, he is usually late for his next class. GOODLINESS. "WORKING"WOULD-BE L.D. L' D. Private return postcards are being sent out over the state by someone purporting to be the University Extensive society. This society offers instruction by mail in law and the statement is so worded as to lead one to believe that the society is connected with the University. In speaking of the system used, the circular says, instruction is by text, lecture, and case books and upon satisfactory completion of the course the degree of LL.B. is conferred by the university.—Minnesota Weekly. RECALL 'EM! The Illinois State Supreme Court has rendered a decision which declares unconstitutional an act of the last legislature which voted an item of $60,000 for the medical school of the university. As many of the other acts of the legislature were passed in the same time, there is considerable confusion in the mind of people as to what the outcome may be. I thought that a special session of the legislature may be called to straighten out affairs. DON'TS FOR CO-EDS For the guidance of its students, the organization in Wellesley College, corresponding to the Woman's Student Government Association of the University, has compiled a list of up-to-the-minute don'ts. Here are some of them: Don't first with the handsome fellow down village, his wife will not like it. Don't chew candy or anything else while on the village streets. If you must chew, try the rag. Don't be a freak. The squirrels have enough nuts to attend to. Don't kiss each other on the public blah! It's awful to see a women doing a man's business. Don't study too hard, folks may think you are preparing to earn your own living. PROVERBS OF ST.PATRICK Good men ought not to be volatile taken a lie for a lie is a great crime. Judges who do not judge rightly the judgments of the church are not judging rightly. Officers of the church ought not to take gifts, because "gifts blind the eyes of the wise and change the words of the just." Judges of the church ought not to have the fear of man, but the fear of God, because the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Those in authority in the church ought not to have the wisdom of this world, for "the wisdom of this world" means "the wisdom of God," but to have the wisdom of God. It is better for us to admixture the negligent, that crimes may not have been done. Solomon says, "it is better to reprove than to be angry." OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE MARCH The cock is crowing, The stream is flowing, The small birds twitter, The lake does glitter, The green field sleeps in the sun; The sun does glitter. The oldest and youngest Are at work with the strongest; The cattle are grazing. Their The small birds twitter. The lake doth glitter. The lake doth glitter, Their heads never raising; There are forty feeding like one! Like an army defeated, the snow bath retreated. And now doth fare ill. The plougbhy is whooping anon, and There's joy in the mountains; There's life in the fountains; Small clouds are sailing, Blue sky prevailed; The rain is over and gone!

Nobody ever stops to look at a clay bank until some artist puts it into a picture with a gilt frame and a tag that says $750. Lawrence grew up beside a clay bank, but nobody ever noticed it except the boys who had to go around it on their way to the pasture after the cows. Finally somebody began to bake old-fashioned soft brick out of this clay. Somebody else improved the process. Today Lawrence is paved with its own vitrified brick, and many other cities in Kansas and elsewhere are paved with it. An enormous plant runs night and day to supply the demand. And there are other opportunities for profitably industry in Lawrence waiting for the man with the insight and ability to develop them. The Merchants' Association Lawrence $ 8 2 5_{1}^{2} $ Mass.
