In addition to the resolutions expressing approval of the work in journalism at the University, the report of the committee on resolutions is as follows:
"The Kansas State Editorial Association, at the close of one of the best attended and most entertaining meetings in its history, congratulates the officers and individual members upon the practical character of the Association meetings and the growing interest in the Association.
"We appreciate sincerely the hospitality of the people of Lawrence in arranging for the entertainment of the Association and extend our thanks to the University for courtesies extended; to the members of the local press; to the department of journalism of the University of Kansas; to the Merchants Association and to the citizens who contributed much to the pleasure of the Association by their courtesies.
"We thank the members of the domestic science department of the Lawrence high school and of the University for the luncheons so nicely prepared and served. We extend our appreciation to the retiring officers of the Association for their work during the last year in the interest of the Association and for the interesting program of this session.
"We protest against the arbitrary act of the postoffice department in attempting to raise rates on second class mail matter as the result of an ex parte hearing in which publishers of second-class matter had no opportunity to be heard. We ask that copies of these resolutions be sent to each of the Kansas senators and members of congress with the recommendation that no action be taken at this time."
Resolutions committee:
H. A. Hart, Anna Carlson, John Raymond.

EDITORS FUSS OVER VOTES FOR WOMEN
Motion to Pass Resolution Favoring Woman's Suffrage Causes Mueh Discussion
THEY TAKE IT AS A JOKI
Editors Feared Reporters Would Spread Idea That They Were Favorable to Suffage — Barred Politics.
The otherwise peaceful meeting of the Kansas State Editorial Association ended with a spirited discussion over the suffrage question.
As the last business session was drawing to a close yesterday, W. Y Morgan looked around over the crowd and saw a man in White." He wanted to make a motion,"
Mr. White was not forthcoming, and Mr. Morgan in his good-natured way said he guessed he would make it for him. He made the motion and it was to the effect that a resolution be passed expressing the sentiment of the association in favor of women's suffrage.
Instantly Glick Fockele of the Le-Roy Reporter was on his feet saying that such a question had no place in the meeting, as it was of a political nature. He was laughed down by the rest of the editors who took it more as a joke than anything else. The question was put and passed with an almost unanimous volley of "ayes" before anyone else could rise to his feet.
MILLER FEARED REPORTERS.
W. E. Miller of the St. Mary's Star got up and said that such business was entirely out of order and that he would make a motion to rescind the resolution if he thought that no reporter in the room would publish the proceedings and carry the idea to the people of Kansas that the State Editorial Association in favor of woman's suffrage. He said that he might for the question but he didn't believe it should be made a matter of record.
Charles F. Scott said that he would like to hear what the code of ethics of the Association said in regard to such points as this. It was found and

read by the secretary and was to the effect that no subjects of a political nature should be brought up any of the meetings.
"Moonlight, Spoonlight" was perhaps the most catchy song, but in "The Medicine Man" the chorus did some clever work. Earl Moore yawned "What's the Use?" so realities were evident. The audience their handkerchiefs to their mouth suppressing a general desire to wain with him.
Several other editors were on the point of rising and expressing their ideas, but W. Y. Morgan with his genial standing broad grin, said he didn't want to expedite the business unduly but he would like to go to the press. Mr. Morgan spent few minutes and suggested that they proceed with the rest of the business.
Starkweather's
If one is forced to choose any particular star who twinkled considerably brighter than their fellow workers, notice must be given to the clever work of Helen Woolsey as "Jessica Norris," a cute little trick who likes to first, to Lola Eaton as "Patricia B. Schott," the waisted hotel telephone girl, to Joe Bishop, the bright bell he lamps an amateur detective who thinks he has a clue, and Earl Moore, the author of the book of the play, as "Pierre O'Brienne," the hotel clerk who is always tired.
MORGAN WANTED TO SEE THE GAME
'OBJECT: MATRIMONY GIVEN. 'NOUGH SAID
The sentiment of the discussion seemed to be that they were in favor of the suffraghas but it would be hard to tell if they would stand by it when they came to vote on it in a closed booth.
may be made of the entire show,
with only a few exceptions, the cast
did not succeed in getting more than
a half of their words past the footlights
and the audience was left to
guess that some clever words were
being said without knowing what
they were.

THE EDITORS TOOK NOTICE ALL RIGHT
The play last night was well received by a large audience. In the boxes were Thomas Masson, editor of "Life," (and Mr. Masson invited the club to come to New York City and stage their play there). Mr. and Mrs. W. Y. Morgan, Chancellor and Mrs. Strong. The charter members of the Red Domino occupied the box to the right.
The scenery is much more elaborate than last year and the second act has some electrical effects that are beautiful. The play is under the direction of Miss Gertrude Mossler, of the department of expression.
Ruth Walker as "Leila Farnsworth," the heroine, and William Cain, who finally did marry her, sang well together and put on some fancy dancing steps that no doubt made some of the editors sit up and take notice. Lawrence Smith as the wrong Mr. Wayne and Helen Woolsey as "jess" in "Teach Me to Flirt" were just too easy for any use.
"Object, Matrimony," will be repeated again tonight.

PARSONS DISCUSSES
VARIED CARTOONISTS
F. L. Kaffer, who was graduated from the School of Mining Engineering last spring and who now holds a position on the engineering staff of the Lucky Tiger mine in Mexico, is visiting friends at the University this week. He expects to return to Mexico soon to continue his work there.
"Cartoonists, Serub and Otherwise," was the subject of the address of Harvey Parsons, of the Topeka State Journal, and of the State Editor, "mesting in Frasier Hall.
"In these days of first class syndicate service, the worker in the local vineyard is little more than a pensioner, unless he writes paragraphs or fills a beat while reporters are sick," said Mr. Parsons. "With the leading cartoonists of the world subliming for him, he lands on the front page but infrequently gets into trouble. One day the new building and the new engraving plant will be completed, and the local politicians will again "get his."
Speaking briefly of the "otherwise" class, Mr. Parsons said, "Since the days of Tom Nast and Sir John Tenniel, the cartoon has been a factor in newspaper work. The editorial writer starts a nail, and the cartoonist drives it in up to the head. Many crooks have been driven from public life and many are busted by cartoonists of all calibres. But because cartoonists have shattered good men, it does not follow that cartoonists have mean dispositions."
Mr. Parsons told how the cartoonist was often hampered in his work by lack of proper colors with which to embellish his creations. He often felt the need of some red ink to portray a notably bad man, or a few touches of yellow to give a man's expression the proper tinge.
"The generally accepted definition of a cartoon is a distorted likeness, although the distortion has nothing to do with the original meaning of the word," continued Mr. Parsons. Originally, the cartoon was a work of high art, but for the last fifty years, the word has been applied almost, exclusively to comic allegory. This applied caricature comes naturally to some persons and is it easier to draw the distortion than to copy a photograph. But to get the best results, the cartoonist should be provided with a good subject."
