TUESDAY, SEPT. 21, 1909 How wonderful, how startling and how terrible is the great plan of the universe; and in what strange ways the director of all things performs his eternal functions. Today something that baffles the reasoning power of man takes place among those we know and love; tomorrow a wholly different but likewise unexplainable, catastrophe casts its shadow over a community. Such things do not seem to harmonize with man's idea of the proper order of the universe. And so we can only wonder at the going away of Ed Wiedemann, and wonder yet again. We may not know why the arrangement of the world required the taking away of one so young, so ambitious, so strong and so hopeful, while there are left in the world so many souls to whom life is burden and death would be a boon. But while Ed Wiedemann had scarcely begun his life's work and had hardly done an increment of the work and the good he could have accomplished with the round of the years, still his living is replete with lessons to all of us. His faithful industry, his conscientiousness, his honesty, his modesty, and first of all his sterling loyalty to his friends, make a monument that will always be in the eyes of those fortunate enough to have known so fine a character, and which will revive green in the memories of us today when in years to come, we think of the qualities that make up strong, and brilliant, and beneficent young manhood. And so may the sorrow that arises in the heart of all be alloyed by the remembrances of the tender living of the one who has gone into the great beyond without a scar on his soul. The Student Council at its meeting last night set a day for all the class elections. This probably will not receive the approval of the old time politicians who did every thing in the dark and who refused to let the light shine on any of their deeds. But the majority of the student body will welcome the new ruling because it will give every student a chance to know a little, at least, of what is going on. ___ Professor L. L. Dyche who is soon to visit Cook, the Artic explorer, made a trip with both Cook and Peary to the Polar regions. It is too bad that Professor Dyche himself did not discover the pole, so that the prophesy that "if the north pole is ever discovered a man from Kansas will do it", might have been fulfilled. Wednesday afternoon there will be a mass meeting of football rooters on McCook to watch the Varsity go through the final scrimmage work in preparation for the first game. A large number of students should be out to give an illustrious start to what promises to be an illustrious season. And now, so they say, the University and the Agriculture college are to lay aside all their differences and enter upon an era of cooperation instead of strife. That always was the sensible thing to do and under such a scheme only may both schools be expected to do their proper work. At last the street cars are here. Pretty nice when one comes in from Kansas City late in the evening, and tired too. That twenty cents saved will pay your Kansas subscription for a month, besides. New Weather Instruments. A new set of weather instruments has been received by the Weather Bureau of the University. The lot includes a recorder, which registers electrically the wind velocity, sunshine and cloudiness, wind direction, and rainfall. Professor Cady will also continue to use the old instruments, in order to test their accuracy. The instruments just received are the regular government observatory instruments, in use in all official observatories. Hiawatha—After dances Drink Hyball Ginger Ale Best by Test.
