TELLS OF PASTEUR HIS LIFE AND WORK
Dr. L. V. Redman Discusses the Great French Scientist in Chapel
PASTEUR'S ECONOMIC WORTH
Saved France $1,000,000,000 by Disc
covery of Cure For Diseases At
attacking Silk Worm Larvae.
Dr. L. V. Redman, Julius Karpe, fellow in the department of industrial chemistry, spoke in chapel this morning at a French-American French scientist, his work and life.
In his address Dr Redman emphasized the great economic value of Pasteur's scientific discoveries, his discovery of a cure for diseases attacking hawr of sik worms alone amounting to a franc of $1 one billion dollars.
FORTY MILLION DOLLARS SAVED
"Speaking before an English audience," said Dr. Redman, "Pasteur once declared, 'To you dull Englishmen alone, who calculate everything in dollars and cents, the cure tor authrax,' a serious foot and mouth disease, has been a clear profit of forty million dollars.'
"Besides these," continued Dr. Redman, "he has given to the world the well known Pasteur treatment for the cure of rabies, and, in his experiments with animals, he was able to work in equalizing the cost of food products in different parts of the world."
THE CHARACTER OF PASTEUR
Dr. Redman commended very highly the noble character of Pasteur and in speaking of this patience, perserverence, and humbleness quoted Pasteur's own words, "Gok grant that by my persevering labors I may bring a little stone to the frail and assured edifice of our knowledge of those deep mysteries of life and death where all our intellects have so lamentably failed."

UNANIMOUS DECISION FOR K. U. DEBATERS
Cooley Club Defeated in Debate Last Night—Was the First Clash
"With one fell blow," delicared Theo, Sullian representing the Cooley Club, "the gentlemen of the opposition would sweep away the result of the progress of the ages." However, by a unanimous vote, the K. U, Debating Society, represented by Frank Carson, A. B. Campbell and Asher Hobson, defended the Cooley Club, represented by K. K. Simmons, Theo. Sullian and Orlin Weede in the debate, "Resolved, that the State of Kansas should levy all taxes on land values in preference to the general property tax." The K. U. Debating Society had the affirmative. The debate was held last night and was the first struggle between the two societies.
AFFIRMATIVE ARGUMENTS
The affirmative built their arguments on the following propositions, that the general property tax is inolerable since burden of taxation is not born by those who reap the greatest benefits, and since it tends to destroy thrift and industry, that's a man's individual initiative and effort should not be viewed as an economic tax, has its practical and that wherever tried the plan has proved successful, that it is an economic tax, one that cannot be evaded.
The negative argued that land is no different from other forms of wealth, and all wealth should be taxed alike, that the single tax is confiscatory and that under the single tax investment in land would be discouraged.
Walter Griffin presided at the meeting.
The judges were Ross Hall, Frank Brock and Louis Rufener.
ANTI-SUFFRAGE LEAGUE
Dissatisfaction With Equal Suffrage by Some of the Young
Since the organization of the Equal Suffrage League at the University and its unusual success as a new college activity, there has been some talk of a similar organization among the "antis" and an Anti-Suffrage League is a possibility of the near future.
Women
Among the promoters of the new organization, are a number of women employees in the offices of the University and students whose convictions will not let them join the suffragists, but who, nevertheless, like to have social good times as well as any one else.
The Weather.
The meter twins, Baro and Thermo have reached the conclusion that we need a variety of weather. So the prediction given out by the occupants of the little white house is: "Rain and colder tonight, fair tomorrow."
"It just isn't fair," said one young woman today, "for us to lose out on all of these nice teas and socials just because we don't want to vote, so we propose to have some of our own."

ADVISES STUDENTS TO AVOID THE MOB
Leslie J. Lyons in Y.M.C.A Talk States Necessity of Aim in Life
"We must become men that have fixed convictions in regard to the fundamental principles of life," declared Leslie J. Lyons, United States district attorney of Kansas City, Mo., who testified at the regular Y.M.C. A. meeting.
"While in the University you have a splendid opportunity to become well grounded in the principles for which you are going to stand and you should lose no opportunity to build up a strong basis for going out and doing your work. You are going to be grounded in the University can be of greater service to you than the Y, M, C. A."
"There are too many men that are blown about by the wind, that adhere to anything that is sensational and follow the mob. Men of education are blown about by the mob, the body politic and the dangerous flaws blowing in on the body politic."
