NATIONAL WASTING, LOCAL WASTING
While our attention has been focused on Washington and the expenditures of the national government, we have allowed a tremendous volume of foolish and wasteful local spending to go on under our very noses almost unnoticed and unchecked.
Local pride is a good thing. The desire to beautify and enrich home surroundings, to make them pleasant to book upon and beautiful and convenient to live in, is wholly admirable. The costly pity is that so many live and enterprising towns which wish to do themselves spread in the eyes of the world and of rival municipalities get off on the wrong foot. They not only spend too much money, but they spend it in such wrong-headed ways that they do not get half the benefit from it that they might.
Counties, towns and individuals affected with the spending complex early always favor the tangible and the showy at the expense of benefits which are neither. There is no sadder sight than a palatial and over-court schoolhouse manned by ill-equipped and underpaid teachers. Rounds smooth enough to play billboards on reflect small credit upon a town with an impure water supply. A municipal park, no matter how spendid, has no power to disinfect a demoralized police force, controlled by eroded politicisms.
If we will take our eyes off Washington for a moment we can see what our local taxing authorities have been doing to us while our banks have been turned. In most cases it will prove to be plenty.
According to the Miami Student, any considerate motorist will give a coed half the road if he knows which half she wants.
ATTEND THE STUDENT CONFERENCE
The Midwest Student Conference which begins tonight with a debate between Paul Blanchard and Judge Huggins is a significant indication of the modern, open-minded method of dealing with world significant problems.
Although the conference is only in its third year, the interest already given to it assures its success. We may well be proud that several of its originators and promoters are students of this University.
Through participation in this sort of discussion of social and economic problems students are demonstrating their ability to think and their desire to be a positive factor in the understanding and progressive leadership of world affairs.
Everyone should take advantage of this opportunity and plan to attend as many of the meetings as possible.
Successful Graduates
The hundreds of successful graduates of the Lawrence Business College are the best evidence in the world of our effectiveness.

THE PROBLEM OF PENSIONS
Following every war there comes a period of heightened public conscience, a feeling of remorse, and of overpowering sympathy for those who have lost husbands or sons in the service of the country, a period in which governmental pensions and special privileges are to be had for the asking.
That the period following the World War is no exception, and that the public reaction to the War is not yet over, is shown by the bill just passed by the House of Representatives concerning organized visits of the widows and mothers of American soldiers to the graves of their loved ones in foreign fields.
All expenses of these visits are to be paid by the government; no expense is to be spared; first class cabins will be reserved; government or chartered passenger ships will be used. The visits will last from two to three weeks, and will be maintained as long as three years, if necessary. Thus we find ourselves forced by the old problem of pensions, of special privileges. It has the same appeal of hagan sympathy, of remote, of public conscience that is always present. As such it will receive public support, perhaps rightly so.
But it does seem that at a nite when the nation has just made the final payment on pensions, remitting
from the Revolutionary war, which ended nearly a century and a half ago, and when government expenditures annually include millions of dollars for pensions hanging over from the War of 1812 and the Civil War, matters of history for 116 and 173 years, respectively, that the imposition of financial obligations upon future America should require considerable consideration and weighing of benefits.
Wouldn't it be better to allow memories of sons and other loved ones who have "gene warm" in the nations service to continue unmarried by the more juried, disdainful realities of the war? Would they not sweeten with women, and become of greater virtue if not embellished by visions of the horror and tragedy of unnatural desire? The House bill attaches the phase of memory better left untouched. It would be more fitting to allow memory to be heavened by the realization of peace attained, and of eternal rest achieved.
Coolidge says there are only two things necessary for boys: Work hard and behave yourself. "Do that and there won't be any trouble about the future of the nation."
Mr. Valeond has heartily commented a tonic for living 31 years without a dek. We read further and first that this tonic was confined within a corrocercite in a Texas courthouse and that the poor barnacle Phrynocoma cernidum had eluted an uneasy existence for 31 years without food, or what is even more distressing, without social contact.

THE PASSING OF THE COLLEGIATE FORD
AN APOLOGY--AND KARNING
The Collegegie Ford seems to be an inexpensive part of every college campus. These four-wheeled sign boards of college wit and wise cracks have gone rattling and banging their way about the campus, loaded down with students for so long that people have taken it for granted that they would never disappear.
Wonder which one of the many favorite sons will be the Esau of the sending political homecoming.
Yesterday we wrote on onions. We did it in support of Jack Harrison of the Robbie "Gazette" group. We thought it is a strong editorial on a strong subject — sufficiently so to prevent lethargy over overtaking the writer. But it didn't work out that way, and we mentioned "Harrison as being on the Chauche "Trilune."
But everything must make way for progress and this includes even the collegiate band wagon. The old order changes and makes place for the new. It has been declared that Ford's new product shall have all the appearances of a real automobile and thus the Collegegate Ford must pass into the discord along with other warrant ideas and customs, while in the future college students will rid in care like those of other people.
For what student could make a collegiate Ford out of any of the new models?
The German Club will meet on Monday, Feb. 27, at 4:30 p.m. m, in room 313 Fraser hall. The program will consist of a discussion of and conversation on the principal food and national dishes in Germany. The meeting will be conducted in simple German. Everybody interested is invited.

Thus—at the very outset—was exhibited the insidious effect of romination; that insidious effect is a sort of hypnosis, a daze that causes events long past, or events in zickzack fashion to pass in a kakiidoscopic array before the eyes. And that is how

it happened. We knew Jack Harrison was not on the Chanute Tribute. We knew that Boloit was the city so honored. But while in that daze, we wrote it "Chanute Tribute." Then being suddenly called away to an important conference, we did not learn of the error until tonte to correct it. Hence our humble apology.
while we are picking outotes of other people's eyes, we should like to have you ask yourself if you are the careless one who left those dead chickens along your neighbor's hedge forces," a country weekly speaks out in authoritative tones. Of course that has nothing to do with our campus problems except that unless certain drivers of collegiate models quit their speeding between classes they will leave other game than their neighbors' dead chickens in their pathway one of these days.
A fall does not prove nearly so fatal when one is expect it. It is well occasionally to recall those unpleasant things which life may have in store for us.
"We attach great importance to politeness in France, and I think that we are wise to do so," said Marshal Foch at a dinner in Denver several years ago. The analogy he drew at the time might well be remembered today: "Patience is like a pneumatic fire." There's nothing in it but wind, yet it causes the joils along life's highway wonderfully.
Eilson says that chances are 50-50 for life after death. Sir Conan Doyle contends that chances are 100 per cent in its favor. The average layman will doubt whether immortality can be so easily reduced to a percentage basis.

One writer once put it this way: "If you keep the telephone of your mind forever transmitting thoughts of love, purity, joy and health, then when disease, sorrow, hurt or hate call you up they will always get the busy signal. After a while they will forget your number."
Jn., another one of those incongruities of college life is a married marriag receiving a Bachelor degree.
Perhaps no one has better characterized the restless youth of today than Hawthorne, who puts the following words into the mouth of his main character in "The Ambitious Guest." "And yet, as the 'Ambitious' I have done none. Were I to vanish from the earth tomorrow, none would know so much of me as you—a nandeless youth. Not a soul would ask, 'Who was he? Whither did the wanderer go?' But I cannot die until I have achieved my destiny. Then let death come; I shall have my monument."
London, New York, Chicago and Kansas City—each has an underworld of its own. We never knew that K. U. was quite so up-to-date until a feature writer in Sunday's Kansas told us that we have an underworld under Fowler shops.
"Missouri basketeers win over Kansas first time in seven years on Columbia court." Nice going Tigers.
Campus Opinion
--content that students are not so no-neglectful and unintelligent, and that everyone does not scratch in match on a button down in front of the library, but buttons down in front of the library. If they did, things would look like — At any rate conditions are very good considering the fact that there is no need for them to throw his smoking cigarettes.
"While the students seem engaged in ceaseless warfare against them," so reads a Kansan editorial, meaning that most of the students, the alumni, taxpayers, the graduating senior classes" (why the graduating class should be considered we do not want to leave our students the silly "studies" on the other side fighting. The faculty fightings, according to the Kansan, to keep the students off defending and dispoiling the building
We had all supposed that smokers were using lighters now rather than matched so we did not expect that a match would actually act as to strike a match. This is really a surprise indeed! But this match paired to the shock we experienced after learning that "dead men gleaning white" from which a puff had fallen had led lots around the library. We did not know that everyone that smoked took only a puff and then threw his cigarette —that would be extravagance indeed.
However, the point is that such a declarable condition as the writer describes does not exist. If it were existing it should be remedied. We
