LAWRENCE, KAN. SAT. SEPT. 7. 1901.
Next week the grafter will be in his element. He will graft for clubs, laundries and newspapers. He will graft where he has a right to and where he has had no provocation. When an old student first steps from his train on to the depot platform who rushes up and pats him on the back and says "Hello,old fellow"? who fills his pockets with worthless cards he'll never read? who claims to have been his old standby last year? who assists him up town with his grip? who helps him find his rooming place? who helps him in numerous ways his mother never dreamed of? The Grafter Grafting at K. U. has been raised to a scientific basis. There is the professional grafter and the raw amateur. Although the amateur may have first chance at you the professional is not dismayed. He pats your back a little harder, smiles a gladder smile of welcome, finds a better room for you, finds out all your old cronies and brings them around to see you and confidentially tells you he could have been steward where his rival is, but rejected the office to rustle for a better club.
The grafter is never out of humor. When jokes are being told he has the latest. If girls are mentioned he can introduce you to the prettiest in town. We, all, abuse the grafter. We cut him, we roast him, we ridicule him behind his back and yet there is no better fellow than the grafter. He has the sterling qualities of manhood. The hard battles he fights here are but the training for sterner ones in later life. When the lazy, easy-going, idle fellow of today who spends his time in the ball room or playing pool, has secured a position in some large establishment and looks around to get his bearings who will be his foreman or perhaps his employer? the grafter. Here's to the grafter. May he live long and prosper.

Do you think Kansas University should have a good weekly? Would you rather have the Weekly come out on good paper than on cheap, yellow paper? Are you willing to do your part towards publishing a good paper brim full of news and spicy, interesting reading? If you are, read the rest of this article; if not, go home and raise squashes and cucumbers. A college is known abroad largely by the paper its students publish. A good, live paper cannot come from a dead school or from a school which which does not support a student enterprise. There are several ways in which you can help your paper. When you go anywhere or do anything don't stand back bashful and wait for the WEEKLY to find it out, but step up to the editor and tell him all about yourself; he'll be glad to find it out. Then you can subscribe for the paper. That is the part which is hardest for you to do, but the one that helps to keep the paper above ground. But another way you can help the paper and which costs you nothing, is by talking about it. Do you ever buy anything? Would you rather trade with a man who is glad to see you or with one who doesn't care whether you trade with him or not? Why not trade with the men who support the WEEKLY. They are loyal to the school and deserve your support. Tell them you read their advertisement in the paper. It will please the merchant and gladden the heart of the managing editor.
For the current issue of the WEEKLY the editor-in-chief is in no way responsible. It is published without his authority and free from his supervision. It is printed a week before school opens and before any students are in town. No reason for its appearance can be found nor can there be any objections offered to its publication save by the managing editor, who has published it simply because he wanted to. He had a little spare time and wanted something to do. He did it, and this week's paper is the result. If you find anything you like, credit the editor for his brilliancy. If something displeases you, blame yourself for being hard to suit. It's your fault if you don't see things as the editor does. If your name is not mentioned, it is your own fault. The editor did his best to find out where you are and what you are doing, but was unable. If you want your name in the paper after this tell a WEEKLY reporter all about yourself. May be he doesn't know who you are.
EXCHANGES.
*
The Daily Californian is the first college paper to reach our desk this fall. It commenced publication for the year two weeks ago and seems to be prosperous. It is the best daily on our exchange list.
The progress made by women in photography will be the subject of three articles in The Delineator. The September number contains the first of these and deals with the photographic work of Miss Zaida Ben-Yusuf, Mrs. Gertrude Kasebier, Mrs. Grace Cook and Mrs. Myra A. Wiggins.
It is as hard for an editor to run a paper without reading his
exchanges as it is for a woman to pass a mirror without looking at herself. A Kausa editor tried it and in a short time had changed his daily to a weekly.
The general run of fashion plates are the despair of those women whom nature has decreed for stoutness, or whom time has snowed with gray hair. Many fashion cuts show an impossible sylph-like form of women everlasting youthful. The Delineator whose long career of success shows that it meets the needs of women, contains in the September number a special article, carefully illustrated and devoted to the attire of stout and elderly women. This article, with its practical, useful advice about fabrics and quantities, will be appreciated by those who are neither slim nor under twenty one.
The Return of the Students Bring Smiles on Many Faces.
LAWRENCE IS GLAD.
---
Daring the summer season Lawrence is a dull town, both socially and financially. Aband concert once a week, an occasional church social and a week of quiet are the amusements of him who must spend his summer in Lawrence. Business men send their clerks on enforced vacations, expenses are reduced, and everything creeps along slowly. But with the first of September comes a change. The window decorator begins to plan, the merchant lays in a larger stock, the expressman wears a happy smile of anticipation, the streets are decorated with the old familiar sign, "room for rent." But with the advent of the student comes the real change. The streets are filled with hurrying cabs and express wagons. Depot platforms groan beneath the tread of the omnipresent grafter, merchants gleefully watch their stocks diminish and their bank accounts increase and every one wears a smile of happiness. Occasionally some dyspeptic in a fit of rage denounces the student as an unmitigated nuisance and a being without any excuse for existence, but to the greater part of Lawrence citizens the noise of a student jollification is but a temporary annoyance to be patiently endured. Such people are the true friends of the student and it is to them he will give his trade and his friendship.

A start towards professional foot ball has been made. The following is from the Topeka Herald: "Permanent officers of the National Association Foot Ball League, which was launched in Chicago last week, were elected yesterday as follows: President, J. C. Karel, Milwaukee; Vice President, Gus F. Diel, St. Louis; Secretary and Treasurer, T. S. Andrews, Milwaukee. The schedule meeting will be held next week either in Chicago or St. Louis. Eighteen games will be played by each club. The cities in the league are Milwaukee, Chicago, St. Louis and Detroit."
California University has been having a series of inter-class base ball games the past few weeks.
