Coasting down Adams street is dangerous at any time and parties at night should not start down the hill unless a sentinel is stationed at all cross-roads. The accident of last Saturday is a very lamentable one and the young people who were injured have the sympathies of the entire University. However this should be a lesson to others.
It is suggested that all who have notices to post on the bulletin board should add some picture. One would then not have to go to the art exhibits to pass the time, and a larger number of students would read what is posted. The Y. W. C. A., hss set a good example in this way, and Miss May Williams is to be congratulated on her originality.
If a KANSAN reporter ever hands in anything like this he will forever have his "stuff" thrown in the waste basket without being even read; and we will present him with a sack of nuts. "His wittiest witcheries, his tenderest fancies, the luxuriant exhuberances of pulsing poesy, bestowed upon the inexhaustable cornucopia of his thought and sentiment have made this comedy of the master dramatist, brilliant, alive and true beyond the possibility of absolute defilement."
Last Saturday was the happiest day in the life of the KANSAN, not only for the editors and business managers, but for those interested in the paper. On that day the KANSAN became entitled to print at the head of its editorial column "Entered as second class mail matter." All of these glad tidings resulted more from the kindness of Congressman J. D. Bowersock in using his influence on our behalf in Washington than from the combined results of all others,
Here in the University the word professor is unpardonably abused. Don't call a man professor unless you are sure he is entitled to have "Prof," prefixed to his name. There are only twenty-nine members of the entire faculty to whom is due the title so coveted by the average pedagogue, so please be careful, especially in writing KANSAN copy. The average instructor here and assistant professor much prefers the title Mr.
It has now been proven that the police judge of Lawrence is not absolutely correct in all of his rulings when he finds University students guilty. The remark was made recently that a University student was never found to be not guilty under the present local municipal administration. There is little doubt in the minds of all students, most faculty members and many leading business men of Lawrence, that students have been persecuted in an unpardonable way and have been found guilty of charges at times that they were absolutely innocent of. However there are two sides to every question. The police judge doubttess believes he has been executing his duties in the most scrupulous manner and exactly according to law. The thing to do hereafter is to be careful when a breach of town ordinances is imminent and when breaches do occur take the case to the district court if some special

Here is a clipping from the Kansas City Star regarding Mr. W.Y.Morgan, a Kansas University alumni, member of the present legislature, editor of the Hutchinson News, ex-state printer, and one of the best known men in Kansas today. He is also a member of the local chapter of Phi Gamma Delta.

"Billy Morgan of the Hutchinson News conceives it to be his duty, as a Representative in the Kansas Legislature, "to be neither nice nor lady-like" in the fight against the Standard Oil Company. Now let John D. Rocketeller and his minions, with all their reliance on the help of the Lord, beware. Let them tremble in their financial and spiritual strongholds. Let them be assured that the days of their power are numbered. Let Henry H. Rogers abandon the miserable and flimsy defense that he is a model of benignity in his own household. Let John D. Rockfeller, jr., disband his Bible class and yield himself, for the short period which remains to him, to the allurements of Monte Carlo and the temptations in other European citadels of sin which lure the righteous from the path of virtue and godliness. Let the faculty of the University of Chicago join with the "widows of Ashur" in their wail over their broken idol.
For be it assured, that when a man as "smooth" as Billy Morgan; when a statesman of his consummate diplomacy; when one so gentle and so tactful as an editor who was able to live in Emporia for a number years, and publish a paper there, without being drawn into the seething and perennial Town Row; when a politician, who can steer his placid course between the Ring and the Boss Busters, and can be on terms of perfect amity with the Burton bunch and the Leland crowd—when,a man with such a character and such a record resolves and swears by the long-horn spoon "to be neither nice nor lady-like" in dealing with the evil of Rocketellerism, the knell of doom has practically sounded in the ears of the Standard Oil buccaneers."
