SCHOLARSHIPS
The action taken recently by the members of the alumni association of Columbia University at Kansas City in creating a scholarship which provides a year's tuition to their alma mater in New York City, is another example of the interest that eastern alumni take in their universities, and the good they are doing for deserving young men and women who secure the rights and privileges of these scholarships.
Such scholarships are the means of offering to young men and women the advantages of work under instructors who are deemed the best in their respective departments—giving those advantages to men and women who possess the ability to appreciate them properly and secure the most from them, but who would be unable to do the work in those classes without financial aid from outside sources
At the University of Kansas, many efforts have been made in the past few years to aid more students who deserve help in their attempts to secure the benefits of higher education. A series of University scholarships brings many graduates of Kansas Colleges here every year to enter some of the higher courses that are offered here, and several organizations in the University maintain a scholarship fund for the benefit of those who need help.
The work that those are thus attempting to do in extending the benefits of higher education to those who are financially unable to continue their work is certainly worthy of commendation and they deserve the most praise that the University community can give them. It is perhaps one of the highest forms of doing good that exists—making good, complete citizens by sending them to a university.
Frank Jarrell knows about all of the "boys" and he was bury this morning swapping reminiscences with them. Whether it is because he has lately elevated to the office of public agent of the Santa Fe, or because he is plain Frank Jarrell, that makes him so genial cannot be known. He began his career as a newspaper man many, many years ago when he was working for Ed Howe on the Atchison Globe. Later he went to the Kansas City Times and from there to the Topeka Capital as city editor. He stayed in Topeka seven years and then bought the Holton Signal, after consolidating it with the Dennison News. He made his paper so readable that the Santa Fe grabbed him for their publicity agent and the way he is holding his job now indicates that he will be a fixture there for some decades.
GOOD-BYE; COME AGAIN
Editors of Kansas, the University has enjoyed your visit, and on behalf of faculty and students the Daily Kansan wishes, as you depart for your homes today, to bid you Godspeed. We hope you have had a good time; we urge you to come again—by ones or twos or as an association.
You will always be welcome.
Perhaps you won't mind if we tell you that you are the sort of people we like to entertain. We like people who find it easy to dispense with formality; who are willing to get acquainted; who would rather be agreeable than imposing; who don't pretent to be anything but every-day human beings like us. Then again, we like people whom we can talk to without feeling that they are bored; who are interested in the things we are interested in; who are willing to try to get our point of view.
We hope you have enjoyed this visit as much as we have. We hope you found out a lot about the University and its work, its purposes in the many lines of practical usefulness, its character as a well-ordered community of twenty-five hundred persons whose ideals and whose conduct from day to day to compete to immense advantages with those of any other community of equal size.
And since you have had opportunity to get a close view—though necessarily a hasty one—of the our University, we know that we can count you as friends and supporters and defenders in time of need. You have led in the cause of education in the past and we know that your enthusiasm for the things that make a state great will not grow less in the future.
Harvey Parsons, cartoonist and funny man of the Topeka State Journal, hove into port with a suit case full of drawings and original wit which he will perpatrate at the editorial meeting this afternoon. And by the way do you know that Harvey was not always the skilled artist? Some few years ago he was a real cow boy on a ranch in Arizona and according to those who have known him best, he was real handy with the six shooter. Knocking coppers off a post at fifty yards was his favorite diversion. Frank Jarrell vouches for his ability.
Earl Akers, owner of the Stafford Republican, says newspaper business is alright. But Earl is hardly the man to make this statement for two years ago he forsook the case and the make-up rule to become executive clerk to Governor Stubbs and he has given his papar absent treatment ever since.
When Ex-Governor Hoch finished his tenure of office, he received some flattering offers to make Chatauqua addresses. At that time he was the owner of the Marion Record, and in looking for some one to whom he could entrust the destinies of the paper until he came home, he noticed his Son Homer who had been dubbing around the office ever since he was a kid in knee breeches. Son Homer was told to take the Record and to do his best. Homer has done his best and the way the Record has perked up in the past few years is a wonder. When the father came home a few weeks ago he found that Homer had let the contract for a new $10,000 building and the foundation was already dug. Father objected a little but Homer said that if he wanted to run the paper he had better stay home and do it. Homer will talk about 'The Other Fellow's Job' tomorrow.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
"King Lion has declared a universal truce. No beast may hurt a bird henceforth, but all shall dwell together in brotherly friendship."
"Why, that is good news?" said the Cock; "and there I see one com-
bird with a beautiful face and good tidings." And so saying he craised
his neck forward and looked afar off.
"What is it you see?" said the Fox. "It is only my master!" Dog that is coming soon? "I am so soon!" the Fox continued, as the Fox began to turn away as soon as he had heard the news, "I will you not stop and converse with the Dog on the reign of universal peace!"
"Why, what is that?" said the Cock.
NE moonlight night a Fox was prowling about a farmer's hen-coop, and saw a Cock roosting high up beyond his reach. "Good news, good news."
"I would gladly do so," said the Fox, "but I should not have heard of King Lion's deceer."

The first meeting of the Kansas State Editorial Association was held in Leavenworth, October 7, 1863. D. H. Bailey was elected chairman and F. P. Baker secretary. Only a few editors were present, and a committee was appointed to take steps for the formation of a permanent organization, and to report at a meeting to be held next January.

A BIRTH NOTICE OF 1867
THE FIRST PRESS IN KANSAS
The voting population of the second ward was increased this morning by the advent of a ten pound juvenile of the male persuasion at Mr. F. A. Foot's. The arrival is just in time for registration. Frank did not "come down" to the office this morning, but we understand that he is "doing as well as could be expected," and the boys expect to make him "come down" tomorrow.—Atchison Free Press, March 13, 1867.
The first printing press brought into the state was one belonging to Rev. Joseph Meeker, who came as a missionary to the Ottawa Indians in 1834.
W. E. Peyton is filling a long felt want with his matrimonial agency. Drop the Peabody Gazette a line if you are in need of a better half. Mr. Peyton makes a positive guarantee of satisfaction.
I indulge, with all the art I can, my taste for reading. If I could confine it to valuable books, they are almost as rare as valuable men.
FRIENDSHIP OF BOOKS
The "volpeciado" began to come into general use after the war was over. The editors viewed the situation with many misgivings. A few paragraphs which appeared in the Leavenworth Times and Conservative are:
We fear that it will be necessary hereafter to have a special department on wheels. It will be calculated to meet the needs of fractions and popularity of the people.

"Dear death on a White Velocipede," is a new title for an old picture.

A man in Leavenworth has invented a mud velcro jacket. It has two legs, and a wheel.
The young men of Chicago are said to be classified according to their skill as velocipedes into the "tjmid toddlers," the "wary wobbler," the "go-it-graffuel," and the "fancy few." A man from the East applied to the U.S. States asses velocipedes, a license is assesed velocipeder. It is time that some man in Boston-say Mr. Bartlett or Mr. Wheeler, issued a velocipeding glossy. It would "go off" like hot cakes--though the publisher should be prepared for wheel or whoa; two wheels with but a single "ex," two feet that traddle as one.
A report says that there are three hundred bicycles in New York City.

Mack Cretcher of Sedgwick has a side line which nets him more than a few simoleons. He has written a series of fifty-two double column bank ads and bound them together in a little booklet. A bank which buys the booklet has its advertising all ready for a whole year in advance. Eight hundred banks are now using Cretcher's ads.
