A FAR-FETCHER STORY
The charge that four United State senators received a bribe of $1,200,000 from President Calles of Mexico is rather unbelievable to thinking persons. A question that presents itself at once, where would the Mexican president get such a large sum to use as a bribe?
Mexico is a relatively poor country economically. The big fortunes made in Mexico in recent years have nearly all gone to citizens of the United States. What object could Mexico hope to accomplish for which she would possibly be willing to give $1,200,000 to four United States senators? It is not reasonable that there are enough rich men in Mexico who need to bribe our senators to raise such a large sum.
Another possibility is that the sum was provided by persons from the United States with interests in Mexico, to promote some certain policy of this country toward our southern neighbor. But this is as improbable as the other, because President Caitles would surely never allow himself to be a tool to persons whose only object was exploitation of Mexico.
HERE'S LUCK TO BILL HARGISS
The whole bribe story is likely to prove to be only another Hearst scare.
At last the suspense is over. The athletic board has announced that Bill Hargiss of the Emporia Normal is to be the new football coach and the final step will be taken when the Board of Regents approves the action.
Students and everyone interested in Kansas football should be glad that the matter is settled and hope that there will not be a repetition of the patriotic publicity which has aired the affair for the past three weeks. Everyone hopes that the resigned coaches have had their say, the Kansas City alumni committee has been satisfied, former coaches and players will forget what happened in their day and the student body of the University will join in to help Hargiss in every way possible.
Hargisa has a hard job ahead of him and if he makes good, it will
show that he was worthy of the promotion and that the Athletic Board used good judgment in naming him coach. He is faced with the task of winning a football team, and maintaining a high standard of play.
The record of Hargis is excellent and Kawasan followers are hopeful that he will be able to add to his success here. The proud old Japhauser is starting a new football cent; and although its success is largely dependent upon Bill Hargis, not all responsibility can be placed upon him. He must have the co-operation of the entire student body, alumni, interested public, athletic board, and football squad. It is our sincere wish that he may receive all of this and that he may bring the Crinson and Blue eleven to the place where it will be the most foiled and respected in the country. We are glad to welcome him to Kawasan.
THE ABSENT RETURNS
Frederick the Great has returned to Washington, D. C. Wearing his three corraled hat and swinging his walking stick in the old aristocratic way, he again takes his place in front of the army war college, where he had remained from the time of Roosevelt until the United States entered the world war.
It has taken us ten years to get far enough away from the war hats and alarms to see history in its proper perspective. We can see the only fallacy today in the war progenia which made Frederick the Great only a dirty Hun who taught German soldiers to crucify men, mutilate women, rage, steal, and pillage; a man whose descendants involved the world in a terrible war and then used every underhand method to win it; a person who represents a culture that depended on might to make right, even to the extent of making every young boy a soldier.
Yes, we have gotten just all that we realize now that these stories of German atrocities were mostly propaganda to help America win the war. We have even accepted in part the German "Kultur" and are ourselves training our young men to be soldiers. Yet we can't help but wonder what country will be next to have her statues pulled down in the United States.
LET'S BE CHILDREN AGAIN
The Christmas Spirit is sweet. For such a long time there has been something lacking, something which seems to belong, yet was not here.
Students ambled along, school was just school another day, and the festive holiday spirit, so much a necessary element for the successful Christmas season—well it was yet to come. But not so now!
Jack Frost and Mr. Coldweather have launched one of the most successful advertising campaigns ever staged, a campaign announcing that the arrival of Mr. Santa Claus would be very soon.
The brilliant reds and greens are hanging from every post, the holly wreaths adorn the frosted windows.

and the cedar smel of the little and big Christmas trees, waiting for someone to buy them and decorate their green branches, is in the air. Poorly breeze and clear cold nights, all are symbolic of the coming Christmas. To the student it means home and the loved ones. Feasts, joy, and happiness in the fallbask. Santa Claus is coming once again! Turn back the hands of time and let's be children for a night. Whall be the friend to hang up his stocking?
At the Concert by Charlotte Thompson
The three tabacins, "The Shuiburds and the Star," corring which it "must be satisfied with." The sautiers setty from the organ, the Wife Men," accompanied by "We Three Kings of the Orient Axe" on the stage. "The Nativity," were artistically grouped and costumed and beautifully decorated. It was played during the last tabacin.
The entire program showed polish
The Christmas musical veepers of the School of Fine Art were beautiful and impressive. The lighting of the candles by the little boy, while a vinyl, collo, harp and organ ensemble played "Ave Patrone" quietly and wonderfully; the processoral of the University veeper choral, white robes and music shoes; the accompanist was Faithful; and finally the receptional of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" brought the wise man, the Christ child very near to the anthems.
and finish; the number by the string quartet deserves especial mention. Some of the lighting effects were not necessary for carrying music stands and chairs on and off of the stage detracted from the harmony of the im-
