LAWRENCE, KAN., SAT. DEC. 14. 1901.
A Communication.
That the Automobile inNovember issue in guise of criticising Kip ing should give expression to personal prejudices is not commendable.
In a college paper treating college matters without fear or favor, political slander is out of place. Yet if political bitterness must out, it were more in accordance with the customary courageous attitude of the editor, to seek no subterfuge for declaring that our government is a tyranny, our past administration solldish and corrupt, and our soldiers brutes and murderers. Since the editor apparently follows closely the spirit of the one whose political views the American people have cast contemptuously upon the dumping ground for cowardice and moon-eyed statesmanship, no one will doubt that his scurrilous pen can produce profane ball ads on a Tennessee regiment, as indeed it can on all other matters; and that the dirty work of defaming his country and its soldiers, is more enticing to him than the dirty work of fighting his country's battles.
EDWARD H. SMITH.
The following is the article to which Mr. Smith referred.
It is not inappropriate for every one who has a grudge against Kipping to take advantage of the opportunity he now offers to them to rise up and swat him in the neck. For he always exploited the doctrine of hate, of the strong against the weak. In his success he had the nerve to ridicule and the people (Americans) who swelled his coffers with their dough. Now since he has shown that he is shameless, and merely in for the money, he has lost his singing voice. But he never fails to wag the stump of it as long as there is gold in sight. Our people are sick of his drunken, swearing brutes of British soldiers. And those songs of loot and slaughter have grown awful to us since we too have slaughtered and plundered an inferior race, and could would write blustering profane ballads about a Tennessee regiment starting for Manilla with forty Filipino prisoners and only seven of them lasting till they got there, and could ring in a chorus about beating out the Tagalog brains that would be great. We could sing sweetly about bloody deeds in cane brake and rice field, of burning huts, pleading fathers with dead children on their shoulders, "no quarter" and the bayonette, but we are ashamed of our villainy, and prefer to have our dirty work unsung

The Dramatic Club.
"Shore Acres" is the play chosen by the University Dramatic Club for its first appearance. The play will be given early in February at the Opera House under the auspices of some local association.
The play is in four acts. The scenes are laid among the rural folks on the sea coast of Maine, In many ways it is said this play does not differ from the well known play of Denman Thompson, "The Old Homestead." It was in the "Shore Acres" that James A. Herne, its author made his reputation.
Much time has been spent in the choosing of students to take the various parts in the play the choice of parts being determined altogether by trials. Many students have taken part in these "trials" and it is believed that the best talent in the University has been secured. It is the purpose to make the Club a permanent organization in the University and to confine membership to those connected with the University.
All of the principle and most of the subordinate parts have been assigned. Regular rehearsals have begun under the supervision of Mr. Frazier. The cast of characters for the play is as
