Editorial Comment
American Freedom
"As Maine goes, so goes the nation." Perhaps Governor Landon was right when he made this statement in his recent address in Maine. The most important part of the address lies in the Governor's pledge to uphold the freedom of the American people.
In outlining what he considered the main issues of the campaign the Governor asked: "Do we want the government prying into every little detail of our business lives? Do we want the government forbidding us to plant what we want in our own fields? Or: Do we want to be free to plan for our own future? Do we want free government in America?"
One of the greatest principles of Americanism is freedom. We have always been free as long as we did not infringe on the rights of our fellowmen who have equal freedom. We have always been gifted with the right to do anything that would bring us an honest profitable livelihood. These principles were also brought out by the Governor.
There are few among us who do not feel that we have a perfect right to exercise this inherent freedom of ours. Yet for the past few years this freedom has been repressed. We have been told by our government certain things that we may and may not do. It is agreed that repression in the form of laws and regulations are needed. But as long as we are not infringing on the freedom of our fellow citizens we should have the full right to practice our own freedom as we choose. But our government sees this principle in a different light. It grants us our freedom, but it tells us how we may use it. We are free as long as we comply with the present day governmental principles.
Freedom is self government, liberty, independence, emancipation. Those are the principles molded into the freedom of Americanism. And it is to these principles that the Governor has pledged himself.
Now at the age of 73, Mr. Ford, it is said,
"refuses to worry about politics, taxes or death."
But a man with the stamina to avoid worry over taxes really has little occasion to bother about death—Kansas City Times.
American residents, home from abroad, report that the European nations are keenly interested in the re-election of President Roosevelt. They feel that he will make no move to collect the war debts.—Topeka Daily Capital.
A Freshman's Honor
Freshmen, you are on your honor, now!
The old freshman traditions of the University of Kansas will not be enforced this year by means of paddling. The Men's Student Council asks that all male freshmen students at the University of Kansas observe the traditions; and for the first time in the history of the University, the freshmen will not be padded for infraction of traditions. You are put on your honor.
Freshmen, to don your little blue caps on the night of the Freshman Induction Service, and to wear them until the close of the football season, is merely keeping a tradition that the freshmen before you have kept. To wear ribbons on your caps and to walk only on the south side of the
campus and cross the street only in designated zones on certain days is merely carrying out that tradition in detail.
Traditions go to make up the school's spirit—school spirit which makes you a real Jayhawker. Freshmen, you are on your honor—and it is indeed an honor to uphold the traditions of the University.

Editor Daily Kansan:
Since a initial approach is impossible, I am only saying that I'm disgusted with the children here in the University that spend their time gracing about the added health fee expense.
I came here from a far Western University where the health fee was fifty cents (yes, 50%) and included the antiquated diagnosis of an equally antiquated nurse. She could tell that you had the mumps if your jaw was swollen because. If you broke out in a rash she suspected measles, small pox, chicken pox, or strawberries.
We pay $4.90 for the privilege of five days of ultramodern hospital care, all the clinic services that we require, and the expert care of well-trained physicians. Maybe the average collegian hans' heard of the wisdom of insurance before death, but did they ever give a thought to the living need of health insurance?
I am looking forward with great pleasure to the sight of the chronic grips rushing, or staggering up to Wattles Memorial Memorial for nose drops, or some such. The pity of it is that they'll be given courteous and kind treatment.
And last, but far from least, maybe they should be told some of the story of the Hospital and health service. Don't you think they might vote thanks to Mrs Wakimus for helping make possible this service?

This service, which is greatly appreciated by the bewildered freshman, was inaugurated along with the rest of the freshman week plan, about eight or ten years ago. It is becoming more essential to grow into a well-grown group and become more complex.
More Space Needed
Fifty-nine years ago, this month, the first official room was allotted to the library in the south end of Fronzau Hall Alcoves were built here and the volumes soon numbered 2,519. A few periodicals, including the Atlantic Monthly and Harper, were subscribed for.

In contrast, there is now a shelving capacity of 298,000 volumes and the number iden tured is 257,700 with about 9,000 more being added each year. More space is needed badly, and can be obtained by extending the stacks 70 feet westward as the original plan provided for the building, which is the story of men and women who worked faithfully and contributed their best to the development of this great enterprise. Miss Carrie Watson, for whom the building is named, served for 34 years as librarian. In 1894, when three sons of her husband, the wing of the first floor and one basement room in Fraser were filled to overflowing, William B. Spooner, an uncle of Chancellor Snow and a Boston merchant and philanthropist, gave $41,000 to the University, of which $75,000 went to Theaver Museum.

Fred Ellsworth, University alumni secretary and director of the men's employment bureau, yesterday announced a new employment plan for men. His program consists of enlisting the co-workers in the men's employment and residents of Lawrence in selecting men to do a contracted work of work each month. Each man needing work will serve a number of families according to the amount of work he needs. The plan requires that every man be employed office and at the same time provide work for more students.

The catalogue system makes almost any book instantly available, and the fields covered are immanent. Even the best modern fiction, the most popular books, and new students who took the tour will find that their time was well spent. —M.R.
