We've got a new hospital at last. Mrs. Watkins, the giver, is to be heartily thanked by the whole University. Our hospital service has been decidedly inadequate, and it has only been because of lack that no really serious epidemic has descented upon the students. In 'the future we shall have adequate provision for student health. The state should have provided a hospital with sufficient equipment to be built right on the campus, but since it seemingly had no intention of doing so, Mrs. Watkins' gift is all the more welcome. The idea of taxing everyone a small sum to furnish medical treatment without further cost is a sound one and that should be extended throughout the country. The medical profession is underpaid, it needs to be more highly co-ordinated, the masses of people need more preventive care and better healthcare in a society that ago they needed democratic education. The socialization of health facilities is an inevitable and necessary step toward these ends. We look to see our medical treatment become more and more efficient in this new building that has been given us. And now we have a man who was so unlucky as to have his wife divorce him after he had paid $1,000 to get her. A VISION OF THE FUTURE Now, there's terrario derbying. From an exclusive little meet down on the 101 ranch it has grown to proportions of a full-time sporting proposition. Ben Hibis, until last year an Arkansas Citizen and formerly a K. U. instructor, has written a long article in The Country Gentleman about it. A Kansas City man has gone into the science of it, and after experimenting with turpentine externally, adrenaline internally, the time-honored bone on the end-of-a-stick method and all of the tools used to remove the unmask from the available athletic material, he found that the only thing a turtle will race for is shade. This, probably, is merely a nucleus of the coming development. We foresee terrapin studio, and ranches for breeding, and eliminations in the snapping, mud, hard-shelled, and soft-shelled classes. We foresee turtle columns on the sport pages; high-saharied trainers and traveling experts; international steeple-chasing, secret meets of fabulous champions for most fabulous stakes, book quotations from over the Mexican border. And there's toy golf. Sorry—wouldn't mention it if we could help it—but still, it's there. Don't ask us where its going to end up. In the morning paper we see it has claimed a casuity in Omaha of a broken ankle, and a statement by a nationally known health authority recently said that its perils are real; its sedentary substitution for physical exercise will ruin any genuine golfer's liver. The battle of Waterloo, said Wellington, was won on the cricket fields of Eton. Now, if sports build men, maybe we can take a look down the vistas of time and see the future of America . . . Well, there's still hope in the song-writers. AN UNFORTUNATE ATTITUDE AN UNFORTUNATE ATTITUDE "The fraternities must make themselves felt as a force in the party because they are so powerful to them," and A. F. Williams, former legislator, speaking to the University "Republican Club." Such an attitude on the part of a former state representative is to be resented. He said, in effect, "If you will organize and vote our ticket and influence others to vote for us, we shall see what favors we can give you." Such a position is too common in a representative Government. Votes, not the public welfare, is what our political parties consider much too often. Political bargaining has existed in our country since the Revolutionary War. It has been found in every tariff act ever passed; it has been the essence of every corrupt piece of legislation in the history of this nation. It has held us back time after time. Mr. Williams should have said, "My party will try to determine as scientifically as possible whether fraternity taxation will benefit the community and respect individual rights or not. On that basis we shall decide the case, for we know no party can serve its constituents without importability and fairness. Votes are secondary." But he didn't, and there lies democracy's weakness. The purple paint thrown on the statue of the Pioneer Friday morning should by no means give the students the idea that the Aggies have broken their contract. Students in Minnesota proved by tests in psychology that music ought to help students to get higher marks. If that's the case, people who have classes in Ad. near the fine arts department should be super-students. THE TREATY'S STILL ON Two other possibilities, at least, are open: some Haskell men or their alumni did it (the Haskell colors are purple and gold); or some of our own students did it to stir up "school spirit." If we may hazard a guess, we should say that some of our men have defaced their campus for very dulious purposes. If they are known, we treat they will be properly attested as they should be. At any rate, the leaders of the Manhattan students have promised all their efforts to enforce the treaty between the two schools; and they have offered to pay for cleaning the Pioneer if we ask them to do so. The spirit of the Aggie leaders has been commendable in every respect. The agreement is still on. Let us be goodmen and refuse to countenance any retaliation. In the United States we have about three times as many words expressing mental deficiency as words expressing high mentality. Surely this doesn't indicate that we need more of the one type of words, and have little use for the other? A COMING WORLD If education and increased communication facilities do not develop greater mobility of thought and a decrease in stereotyped prejudices, the world is going to stay about the same as it has been. If there is an increased interest in social questions and a more open-minded attitude, perhaps we shall get somewhere after all. Do American youth take an interest in social questions? Have they higher ideals than their elders, a more genius humanitarianism, a more unselfish and scientific outlook than the generation which has brought the old world to the evils which now beest it? For so long we have heard the old folks tell the public that the younger generation is enroute to the bowwows that sometimes the suggestion is considered correct. But out elders would say the same thing under any circumstances, without regard for the characteristics which really show or show us the possibilities of our kids. Now that a new hospital has been provided, we shall no longer need to sponsor a Campus Problems Speaking contest—for the last of our problems has been solved.

ELIZABETH BRANDT, President. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, has denounced the invasion of racketeers into the United States in convention of the Federation in Boston. PEN AND SCROLL: DOROTHY WOODWARD, President Workers need to secure the support of public opinion; without it, their cause is hopeless. Their hopes lie not His efforts to make labor agitation legal and peaceful deserve the hacking of every supporter of the labor class. Violence, rucketeering, and other illegal practices only prejudice the public against the ordinary workingman. They have never been countenanced by the American Federation of Labor under its past leadership. They have been more dangerous to the class for which they have been ostensibly used than to the employers. All women interested in the Women's Rifle Team register in Fowler Shop Oct. 13, 14 and 15.

And as we waited we looked through the open rectangle in the back of the shelter. It made a sort of picture frame for us. Shaggy walnut trees intertwined their branches with each other, and the dulling late afternoon run sum a downpour of thin gold among them. And students walking along the paths added a splatch of color with a red sweater here, a blue one there, and a freshman's colors flying. There were couples, too-young girls and boys walking along hand in hand. It was a pretty picture. Years would not change the walnut trees much. The sun would still play upon them, making a pattern of green and gold. And other young couples would come laughing alright, already clapping the classes they had just left. n revolution, but in the justice and intelligence of their organizations. Green has unfortunately permitted the American Federation of Labor to become innocuous and sensitive; but on this one point he is to be commended. The racketeer and the laborer trade unionist have nothing in common. Campus Opinion --- Editor Daily Kansan: Now that Mrs. Watkins has so graciously taken the Student hospital 4 of our hands, isn't it about time for her to book a problem of a University book store? The need is evident. To many students working their way through the course, the prices of textbooks is a matter of serious concern. Manifestly the present system is not suitable for them. --- Most of the larger universities in the country are the smaller ones, the ones that own their own buildings.

An interested observer of paddling Our Contemporaries Cows and Discontented Manhattan The University Kansan and the Manhattan Chronicle are in the personal archives of the schools in their respective towns. The Kansan started the imams by remarking about the escape of a man who was not a native Englishman suggested that the Agile wildebeest be substituting for the missing badger, adding that a cow was the proper mascot. Whereupon the Manhattan paper indignantly replied that it was evident the university publication no longer had any interest in class" of the University. It characterized the University as "egotistical and convolkish". Things are being carried too far. We were supposed to suggest a cow for the Agile mastiff. That reaction is a bit surprising. A cow after all is a noble animal and a great servant of man, and agriculture is the best part. The university paper, undoubtedly acting in good faith, seems to have made the decision to take care of the university. Considering the difficulties the Agiles have had all these years with the cattle, they have been strayed or stolen most of the time during football seasons, the Manhattan school should consider serving the cattle. Rather than build a stronger cage, which it is planning to do. Were K. S. C. to adopt a cow for the Agiles, there would be a conflict between the Agiles and K. U. undoubtedly would be brought to an end. There is great temptation to steal a wild creature. But who wants to steal a cow? Probably there other advantages of the idea, too, but we don't think of anything at all. —The Kansas City Kansan, 10-9-30 Chicken Dinner 50c Hillside Pharmacy The badger's dead.—Kansan. $SPECIAL The Varsity Bristol Bristet Brass Formally $5.00, NOW $2.00.
