LAWRENCHE, KANSAS, APRIL 27, 1901.
This week Mr. Kimball's story will ap pear, which was advertised in the last issue of the WEEKLY. The printers played a little joke on the editors devil last week by running the editorial and cutting out the story.
The editorial of last week on the Kansas City paper reporters was knocked on a little because it was not specific. Special reference should have been made to the Times, and the Journal also should have been mentioned along with the Star. The WEEKLY will be more specific after this.
The time is drawing near for the election of the WEEKLY board for next year. Right here is where the WEEKLY wants to say something that counts. It is not exactly a case of do or don't but it is this: When you run a man for the board he sure that he is a man who can and will work. Wall flowers, pretty or ugly do not make a good paper. Take a man who will work and who can accomplish something when he does work. Just because a man is a Snow or a Beta or a Sigma Nu or an Eta Pi is no sign he has any business on the WEEKLY board. If he will work, well and good, regardless of whom he is, or to what organization he is allied, but above all else, support men who are willing to work and who can work. The present WEEKLY board is a good one, but it has six drones who never work and who could not work if they tried. All the others are workers. If the drones were workers the paper would be better and the workers would not have so much to do. Summing up, put workers and no drones on the WEEKLY board if you want a good paper. If you do not you will have a poor paper and then you will cuss the editor when in reality you are to blame
The WEEKLY has been punched upon by the friends of Jack Tolan every day since the last issue of the WEEKLY appeared. It seems that the "right-hand man" in commenting editorially on the Missouri debate followed closely the M. S. U. Independent which gave our boys the bloody end of the bone. Last year the WEEKLY treated the pukes nicely, but the pukes were not so good. They took particular pain to sum up each Kansas man and rank him and write up the Missouri men in a body. In the write-up Tolan fared worst at the hands of the Independent. Now Tolan does not pose as a war-hurse or anything like that, but we all know who he is; he is a mighty hard man to down in debate and his friends will not suffer for his being meanly treated. As a matter of fact Tolan was the only man who spoke his full time out; he was the Kansas leader. In the next place Missouri had all the judges and did not win unanimously; then we have just broke even with Missouri in debate, having won two and lost two. The WEEKLY
is for Tolan and his friends and will take off its coat for them any old hot day. This is not to detract from the honors of the other Kansas debaters, but te correct a wrong impression concerning Tolan.
In the past two months the WEEKLY has been filling its columns with base ball prophesies. The WEEKLY has maintained right along that the 'Varsity would have a better team by the first of May than it had last year. Until the past two weeks this has all been talk but now we have evidence of the strength of the nine. We see that the team is a strong one and worthy the unstinted support of every student and professo on the bill. It has come to the point nowadays when you must show you strength and ability before anyone will help you; our nine has done this, and should have the hearty co-operation everyone. When the team comes home from its eastern trip it will be good to see it play. It will make you feel good to see the slim Alpinh twist up and deliver the ball, to see the delicate Tacke place a pretty two bagger in the left field to see the clever batting of McCampbell the adroitness of short-stop Poorman and third baseman White. It will make the Freshman feel good to see the huge Scirrant clip off the bold runner as second. In fact it will make everyone feel happy to see our team play. The boys were feeling well when they lay home, but they will play fifty per cent better when they return for they will learn tricks they cannot help. By the first of June the 'Varsity will have the best team she has had for a generation This is no talk. You will miss a good part of your spring term's work if you fail to see the remainder of the game on McCook.
Recently a good number of old time parbs have hitched themselves to fraenities. Of course there is no particular lar disgrace nor no impending harm in joining a fraternity at the University of Kansas. As a rule they are harmless, easy going things that exist and have their own little being. They fuss among themselves and among each other; they hate one another instead of being brotherly as the word fraternity signifies, but this is not particularly bad, for do not Methodis s, Episcopalians and Presbyterians do the same; In all probability the fraternities at the University of Kansas are a little worse in this respect than they are other places but that is not so bad for this is Kansas. The debatable part of the question is whether or not our old time barb should sacrifice his influence and standing by allying himself to a fraternity during his last year or in his Junior year. A man who joins a fraternity in his Freshman year has almost equal opportunity for working up with the man who does not, but the old barb who is looked upon as a leader loses a great deal when he leaves the ranks. His barb friends do not look upon him as they formerly did and the fraternity men who think cannot have the same feeling toward him they formerly had. Among the barbs he was looked up to and respected as a leader, but in a fraternity he is one of many in the University of Kansas. He loses his following and his prestige if not some of his friends. This is not every barb but a barb of three or four or five years standing. It is better to a barb of long standing to be a leader of the hosts than to have on vote in a fraternity at the University of Kansas.
