POOR US!
Well, we all went home for vacation, and most of us visited the old high school. Those of us who did were rather disappointed. Of course, we didn't expect to find any of our old gang, or even very many we knew, but we really didn't expect to find everything so run down. And, too, all the kids in high school seem to be so much younger than we were. We admit that we didn't have very much sense, but these kids—oh!
While we were at home, too, we met a lot of the older people who had known us when we were in high school. And about the first thing they said was, "Let's see, you graduate from K. U. this year, don't you?" This rather prefers the sophomores and juniors of us. The idea of those people thinking we were so old!
Then, we were introduced to some other older people who had not heard of us during our high school course. They immediately wanted to know how we liked some high school teacher, new since our time, and appeared amazed that we are not in high school.
Now, if we are to act, as psychologist say we act, in relation to what people think we are, just how are we to act?
The wild wolf has shifted from Claremore, Okla., to Mexico, it is indicated by the Kansas City Star. According to an account of President-Elect Rubio's visit to Kansas City, while the senor and senora inspected the presidential suite in the Muehlebach, their three children "roped in the corridor."
TELEGRAPH HER PICTURE!
"Ach, mine dear mama and paa," writes young Erich to his parents in Berlin from London where he is pleasing his studies. "My Diana, she is so beautiful. She has just promised to marry with me, and I will telegraph you her picture on next Saturday."
This is no mere dreamer's fancy but an account of what might happen any time after today when a state service of picture telegraphy was scheduled to be opened between Great Britain and Germany. Photographs and facsimiles will be telegraphed direct between London and Berlin at a cost of $5.00 for about 15 square inches.
Original pictures are mounted on a revolving drum while a spot of light is projected on the surface of the picture. The light spot is moved along so that all portions of the picture are traversed in the form of a spiral. The light reflected from the picture is caught in a photographic cell and originates an electric current, proportional to the light and shade of the picture, which is transmitted over the telephone wire and controls the intensity of the light spot at the receiving end.
At the receiving end, a photographic film mounted on a drum is revolved at exactly the same speed in front of the light spot. Prints are prepared from the received film by the ordinary photographic process and delivered to Erich's mama and papa who wonder wander at the freinlein's quier looks. But never mind—the process will be improved after a few years.
We are inclined to lay the blame for the recent fires at the Capital on Senator Borah. He starts about everything there.
IMMIGRATION CONTROL
Before immigrants are allowed to enter the United States, investigation should be made of their character and their opinion of our political institutions. This is the theory proposed by Representative E. C. Ellis of Kansas City as an aid to the solution of the problems of crime and unemployment.
it should be determined just where the immigrant plans to locate before he comes, Mr. Ellis says. He should be equipped to work at something where more workers are needed and be prevented from further crowding occupations where there is already a surplus of labor. This would help to balance the situation and would do away with the competition of cheap foreign labor in certain lines of industry. It would also do away with idlers who enter upon crime as a diversion as well as a means of livelihood.
This theory or selective immigration, if put into practice, would also help to unite families of desirable immigrants who are separated because the quota for the year is filled by questionable or undesirable immigrants and would enable them to become assimilated more easily.
This new idea should be given consideration. Any suggestion which may prove to be a solution of immigration problems is a worthwhile contribution and deserves a trial.
A man's last words are always important. That's why we pay so much attention to a victorious candidate's inaugural address.
CITY DUDES AND HICKS
The attitude of the farmer and the industrialist toward each other have been largely based on prejudices, which have reacted harmfully upon qaab. Prejudice is almost invariably
Manufacturers seem to be obsessed by the conviction that all a farmer has to do when he wishes to eat is go
down cellar and bring up whatever pleases his taste for that day. He cannot understand why the farmer needs any organized marketing system, or a system of any kind for that matter, when he raises enough wheat, corn, meat, and vegetables to supply the proverbial five thousand. To his mind the farmer is comparable to the south sea savage who, dressed in loin cloth, needs only to eat when he is hungry and drink when he is hungry.
The farmer, on the other hand, can't forget that the man in industry doesn't have to milk the cows at 5 o'clock every morning. City men seem to have plenty of time for golf, movies, and other entertainments which are largely denied to him. His conception of the urban dwellers' routine seems to be predominated largely by the idea that they "toil not, neither do they spin," and to his mind their raiment would compare favorably with that of the lillies.
Before the farmer and industrialist can meet on a common basis to solve their problems, the industrialist must learn that the farmer is no longer self-sufficing. He has been caught in the mechanism of industry and must be given the same attention as any other part of the economic mchine.
The farmer must realize that the udistrialist's occupation includes physical factors of monotony and strain which never appear in his own life; there are dangers from unemployment which are quite as serious as rop failures or lowered prices. When ach has learned to appreciate the difficulties of the other, perhaps the ask of settling their differences or an equitable basis will lead to the adoption of measures which will be mutually beneficial.
As long as luxuries are being taxed, it might be a good idea to tax one-arm drivers.

USEFUL AND ORNAMENTAL
If you were a sophomore at Delaware University back in 1880, you could be seen strolling down the avenues wearing a plug hat. According to the "Ashley Monthly", June issue of 1880, this was the class garb worn by the class of 1882 as sophomores. In fact this class thought so much of such a class garb that they wore their "plugs" again when seniors.
Although this is not 1880, certain classes of the University also have their particular wearing apparel. For instance, the freshmen wear their small blue caps during the football season, that is, if they want to. The engineers, several years ago, adopted a certain "rainbow colored" sweater to be worn by the senior civils. The senior laws cannot get along without their canes. Only the juniors and sophomores have seen no need of a class garb.
However, if one of these two classes should want to adopt a certain mode of dress that would undoubtedly meet with approval from all its members, it would be that of ear muffs. This would be quite distinctive, but at the same time worthwhile, at this time of year on Mount Oread.
There is considerable talk of a four cent cigarette tax law being introduced at a proposed special session of the state legislature, along with a like amount as a gas tax. This means a doubling of the present cigarette tax and an increase of one cent over the present gas tax. Governor Reed has expressed the opinion that the increased revenue from the taxes could be utilized effectively in building better roads for Kansas. Perhaps the increased gas tax would not be objectionable, since a four cent tax is charged in certain other states. But it is hardly likely that the cigarette税 would be as profitable as it first appears, or as enforceable. Most places already charge twenty cents for popular brands of cigarettes. Hence, an increase in tax would either force the price up to twenty-five cents, which is ten cents more than the price outside the state, or reduce the margin of the state, or reduce the margin of the price two cents on twenty cents sales. The result obviously would be "boot-legged cigarettes", to an extent greater than now exists. The bootlegged cigarettes can be bought at almost any place where you are known. If the state would enforce such a law as the proposed, it looks as if all the non-smokers will be drafted to enforce the law on the smokers. But
