WHITE IS STILL A DRY
William Allen White, life-long dry, is said to have "found himself on the other side of the battle," since his recent statement favoring 3.2 beer and light wines. He has not changed sides. His action was taken in the interests of prohibition, to protect it from those who, blinded by their own passionate oratory, or by politics, would turn Kansas against it.
Mr. White's experience is not unusual. Throughout the history of the prohibition movement men have been called "wet" when they were deeply interested in the success of liquor control, when they never used liquor themselves and were willing to work to alleviate the evils that came from its use by other people. They were called "wet" because they differed in some minor detail from the policies or methods of those bigoted groups which considered the prohibition movement their own to conduct as they wished with no meddling or suggestions from outsiders who were working toward the same goal.
By the insistence on their own restricted definitions, those groups have deprived themselves of the aid of many capable persons who could have put the prohibition fight on a sane, reasonable basis,
REMEMBER THE RED CROSS
The Red Cross, always the first relief agency at has started its annual drive for the funds that make its work possible. Its accomplishments make up a great record of lives saved, misery relieved, shelter, food and clothing furnished at times when the need is most acute.
This year the contributions to support its humanitarian efforts may be much more difficult to collect than they have been in the past. Private relief workers and organized charities throughout the country have found their regular supporters reluctant to contribute as much as they have given in other years, or to contribute at all, because of the extensive relief work that is being done by the national government. The argument is that people should not be expected to pay increased taxes for relief and still keep up the amount of donations to private agencies. Relief workers find the argument hard to answer.
But it should be realized that private relief agencies must not be allowed to die. The government is not doing and can not do all the work that is necessary. There is an intense need for the private workers, a need which will not be filled if contributions are decreased in any great measure.
A NATION'S HERO
In memory of a spy, executed in England, Germany unveiled a monument Tuesday—the statue of a knight in full armor. And above the memorial was hung a bell, to be tolled on all future anniversaries of the execution of a man who died for his country. Another provision had been made to
keep alive the animosity of war time patriotism.
There is nothing quite so intensely nationalistic as spying. The man who undertakes the job must be prepared to sacrifice everything, even, in many cases, the respect of his own countrymen. The government for whose benefit he carries on his duties openly recognizes him. He is seemingly a man without a country, and yet his country must be to him the most important thing in life.
Perhaps spying is necessary, if war is necessary. But to make of a spy a hero—it is an uncommon practice, and an unwelcome one. The vogue of the national hero should be dying out, if the world of broader sympathies and common purposes for which we all hope is to become a reality. Blind admiration of one's national spies is not a sentiment which would be shared with new friends of another land. It is a bitter, narrowing emotion, one that will be encouraged only by rulers with narrow, hate-poisoned minds.
But—it's all in the point of view. He who is a hero to his own country is a criminal to other countries. There is one of the bitterest tragedies of war, perhaps of life.
CRISES COME AND GO
Tentative dates for the beginning of the next world war have been set and changed frequently during the past several months. Crises, national and international, follow close on one another's heels, but they pass and war does not come.
Writers and statesmen have been alarmed by civil war in Austria, by the assassinations of Dollfus, Alexander and Barthou. They predicted a fresh outbreak of bloody riots in Paris when the Doumergue government should fall, resulting in the loss of the stabilizing influence of a strong French government, and chaos in Central Europe. But Doumergue is out and the situation remains about the same, to outward appearances.
An intimation as to why crises pass without bringing war may be found in a recent item, buried inside the papers, which tells that the French government is still trying to reunitie children and parents who were separated in the last great war. Perhaps the bitter memories of the people who really suffer from wars are still too strong to permit crises to produce another world conflict.
A GREAT ADMINISTRATION
(The following, reprinted from the Daily Kansas of Sept. 15, 1913, recalls the work on Dr. Frank Strong, who was buried in a memorial service yesterday).
When, a year ago, Chancellor Strong announced his intention of relinquishing administrative burdens in the not so distant past, he gave assurance that he would stay at his headquarters of the war. At that time the end of the war appeared to be at least two years away, which seemed to insure that the University might safely rely on at least $1 billion per year for its membership. The announcement Friday that he will close his administration next June was, therefore, largely unexpected, though as a matter of fact the Chancellor is more than making good on his promise to remain until the war was over.
His second reason for asking to be relieved on a high plane of disinterested devotion to the futuro welfare of astronauts, the Chancellor should take charge in time to mould the reconstruction of the institution to meet new conditions, rather than to step in after the new plans have been completed out. That is logical, and it is fine.
Twenty-nine years of educational administration is a long session, but in the case of Cancellor Strong it has brought no noticeable impairment of power or usefulness. Only a man himself can judge, however, as to the price he pays for the most wearing of activities. The Cancellor feels that he needs
Chancellor Strong is to be congratulated on being able to feel the great satisfaction that must be his in looking back over the seventeen years of his career, for which his university has enjoyed a wonderful expansion in every field. An almost tenfold increase in income, a growth in the student body of more than thirteen hundred students and four hundred per cent, eighteen new buildings, many new departments
and schools, large additions to the braries—these are only a few of the outstanding supports of progress.
This epoch will stand out large and significant when the history of the University is written. During these years a large number of students, such as Wiseman leadership was necessary, and vision, energy, and fair dealing, Chancellor Strong supplied them in full measure. He came at a natural turning point in the life of the school, and he took full advantage of the opportunity, and made it clear that the legislature were adopted without material change; one year without a n y change whatever — a unique achievement for the head of a state university. The secret was that he was not satisfied with merely going to college lines of extension work and state work he carried the University to the state itself.
No university has all the money it can use, at least no state university, nor all the buildings it needs. No university can change from a small retail store into an office building on a sale affair without the loss of the personal atmosphere that characterizes the corner grocery. Some of the older graduates have regretted the change. But they have recognized it as inevitable. There have been unavoidable limitations. The University does not necessarily readjustment—signs of healthy life. On the whole the past seventeen years comprise a great epoch for the University. Students do not know the Chancellor as well as students used to know him. They do not know who they are, but it cannot be helped. It is the penalty they pay for being too serious.
But notwithstanding his many and exacting duties, Cancellor Strong has always found time to participate in student affairs, to go to the games, to give attentive hearing to any student who went to him.
When his last class, the class of 1920 is graduated, he will have conferred degrees on six thousand young Kansan men and women, about three-fourths of

the entire alumni body. That is perhaps the most significant of many important items in the fine record of Chancellor Strong's administration—the best years of his life—at the University of Kansas.
CAMPUS OPINIONS
Editor Daily Kansan;
Jayhawkers Should Be Thankful
It is good news to more than a few students to hear that the KU student body has finally snapped out of the trance into which it sinks a few years ago and decided to go hoo in a big house. The students were lost in complete lethery but a real old time Hobo day will put Kansas on the map as far as peep is concerned. KU students should think their lucky stars that they have made it through after all hope had apparently vanished to show the stuff they're made of.
Let's all be out Friday morning and show some real Jayhawk spirit that will make the old grad wonder if they really have a chance to experience an opportunity has been provided to make possible the creation of a winning spirit that will send those football boys out on a wild ride.

WHY NOT EAT MORE VEGETABLES?
After a committee of interested students has gone to the trouble to get a half holiday deferred for the occasion and made all other arrangements, they will need to students and to the school to be on the Hill Friday morning co-operating to the fullest extent to make the occurrence of the student body on the campus Friday doing his part to make this one of those Hobe days we've all heard about but none of us have ever seen. There is no such day in the holiday day is a radical departure from the practice of former years. It would be dull to let this opportunity flop so that we would not have such a chance again next year before Homecoming.

The print shop force at the Journalism Press has gone daffy ever raw turnings. Ned Barnes, pressman, brings them from his garden, Johnny Way, medi-lowl’ operator, peels them, and the whole crew eats them. With the long white root of a turpin pretrading from his mouth, Eddy Willeford, makes it look like a rotten cake. Snail enjoying the last few bites of a white rat—M.M.

The "No Smoking or Loitering" sign in front of the Chemistry building needs its face washed. Some one must have been hitling matches on it.-R.C.
Interesting personalities: "Big, big man from the South, with a big ear in his mouth." Professor Allen Crifton isn't from the south nor is he very big, but he's a tall man. In fact the only times that one sees him without one is in the classroom and when he plays a part on the stage. Even when working on scenery and running around with a mournful of nails he will play so well that it howl he can carry a mournful of nails, smoke a cigar, and still take well enough to be understood. Crafton, a few individuals, loves to act off the stage as well as on.
There was the girl who down upon her hands and knees, directly in the middle of the sidewalk was watching some unique specimen of insect as it ambled along a crack in the walk. She was using an old bottle, a piece of tin, and, an unusual amount of patience, to carefully examine the order that she could preserve it in perfect form for her entomology collection—VP.
The marching recruits of Urele Sane I army would do better in a forty-acre field for a parade ground. At least, they couldn't say that there wasn't room.
Short chirping noises in the yard of east Adj: two monkeys and two professors. Psychology instructors Brigden and Sarvis appeared to be having their usual morning fun out entertaining the monkeys which are used for psychological experiments. Running all around the yard, in and out of bushes and trees, all four seemed to be generating monkey-shines—VP.
