NO HEAVEN IN KANSAS
Whover originated the old adage about variety being the space of life was thinking about Kansas weather.
He had been reading the literature of California real estate agents—Florida and renters not having been invented that for work. As he read, he had noted the premises of a climate mild and equable, without storms, and with consistency of sunshine and temperature; and he was reminded of Mark Twain's theory that Heaven would be too monotonous to be interesting. He was a Kansan, for what few tense comments on life have been overlooked by Ed Howe and Bill White have been revived from Solomon by lesser Jayhawl lumination. So it follows that Kansas weather is the archetype of variety referred to.
The adage, furthermore, was coiled about this time of year; for it is then that May flirts with December in Kansas. Though she has no idea of marrying the frosty old creature, still she likes to tempt him; and in the tempting she succeeds in giving Kansan a variety of weather unequalled elsewhere.
The Kansans, while they are young,
and alive, take this variety as the spice of life, and continue living.
When they are ready for Heaven, they move to California.
Alexander P. Moore, in turning down an offer to be to the drama what Landis is in baseball, probably felt that he would be called upon to investigate "The Black Crook" and "Way Down East."
KEEP THE CAMPUS
Advocates of capital punishment are probably tempted to move to Russia, where six men were shot recently for arsenal.
KEEP THE CAMPUS CLEAN
Many students are still children in matters of nessity, and make no effort to keep the campus clean and attractive. In spite of numerous trash cans placed at convenient intervals, papers and other debris are strewn carelessly about and allowed to decorate the campus at will. Then, too, people are beginning to cut across grass plots again, irrespective of the small signs requesting pedestrians to keep off the grass.
Most of the bill-boards and frequently trees are well plastered with tattered, weather worn posters long after they have served their purpose, and present an unmistakable spectacle.
Then there are handbills, vivid and varied, covering the campus with fecks of brilliant color and skipping gaily about. Of course the good strong Kansas winds are fairly effective in sweeping the hills, but the students might help them a little by being more thoughtful and careful.
When little Princess Elizabeth cut her first tooth the other day, King George was ectatic. The tooth seems to have been a royal one, though it is still without a gold crown.
RED HEAD REVENGE
The fable of the little spark that became the great fire has been prove again. Somebody at the University of Washington conducted a contest to determine which type of women col
lege gentlemen prefer. Only blondes and hummus were submitted to the vote. The red-heads smarted under the slight of being completely ignored, so they organized—
A storm gathered in the Northwest and swept over the mountains carrying snow to Colorado and western Kansas and putting a cramp in spring-like temperatures throughout the Mississippi valley; California shook under a series of earthquakes and shivered in the worst storms of its history; seven gunmen shot each other in Chicago; Portugal had a revolution; and oor old Ring died of pneumonia!
The Chicago woman who need her skill with treasons to kill a lunat must be regulated by her neighbors as just a little queer in her choice of a tare
HUMAN GENIUS
Everywhere people are inclined to think of great artists as outside the realm of ordinary mortals. We have a tendency to feel that because they have won fame in one line, they are entirely different from us. We forget that the genius often has thoughts and feelings much like our own.
The truth of this was brought home forcefully by Percy Grainger, world renowned pianist and composer, who gave a concert here last week. Mr. Grainger was anything but alof from those with whom he came in contact. Not only did he consent to lecture to the state music teacher's association, which was meeting at the time, and to give private lessons to a few piano pupils studying at the University, but when the need arose, he assisted some men in changing the position of the piano, in the demonstration that was a part of his lecture. He must have looked like any professional piano-mover to a casual onlooker.
Those who remained after his concert were impressed by his friendliness. He seemed sincerely glad to meet all who shook hands with him and when any one asked him to simp a program, he gave the impression that all the honor and pleasure was his.
This attitude of Mr. Granger's is not peculiar to him among geniuses. Madame Maria Kerenko, the Russian soprano who was here several weeks ago, was an enthusiastic conversationist, and seemed eager to talk of her family and friends, just as any one would be for far from home.
Perhaps if we did not hold these great people in so much awe and reverence, and would meet them on our own ground, we could make their lives more interesting and varied. Those who come to Lawrence, at least, have proved to have delightful personalities, as well as artistic genius.
In Perspiration may run for the position of United States senator in Texas a means of securing vindication, it should scrutinize with care the indication which a one-time Kansas governor got at a recent election.
The court also decided that the Kinn had failed to show that it was engaged in interstate commerce. Therefore, on this count the case was within federal jurisdiction.
THE KLAN STILL AN OUT
The recent decision of the United States Supreme Court put the Klaus Kluxian solely on a political basis, as far as Kansas is concerned. The court upheld the principle that as a foreign corporation the Klan is not a citizen, as the term is used in the clause of the federal constitution guaranteeing to the citizens of all states equal privileges and immunities with the citizens of the particular states in which they reside. Kansas was thereafter within its rights in refusing the hooded order a charter.
The state supreme court had previously decided that the charter board had discretionary powers, and therefore was within its rights in refusing the Klan a charter. The organization is hereby thrown on the merries of the people of the state. Its only hope of being officially recognized is through a friendly charter board. Until it can win a political battle it will be in a precarious position in its activities and demonstrations.
Whether the Klan is strong enough to create a political stir remains to be seen.

The Jayhawkier staff probably thought all the pretty colored paper flying about the campus would serve as entertainment for the visiting music teachers.
According to the New York Times, renowned for its accuracy and fairness, there is one place in the world where there really is a revolution. Portugal, it seems, is in the throes of its twenty-first revolution in seventeen years, and it is evident that the Portuguese know how to revolt with all the trimmings. More than one thousand people have already been killed or injured, and the fun hasn't ended yet.
It is a bit old, considered by and large, that the people of America are so little informed on this question, especially when one steps to realize that the American legation has been repeatedly struck by gunfire and had to be abandoned.

Whatever else may be said of the Press of this country no one can deny that it knows how to suppress that which it considers unfit for the public ear, to say nothing of its ability to work up sentiment to a fighting pitch when it thinks the public would like to fight.
The British general who believes that wars are part of heaven's design probably feels the same way about small pox, murder, automobile wrecks and scorched toast.

The state of Kansas and its university will be interested in the fact that three former students of the university have been elected as trustees for the Rockefeller Foundation—by far the most philanthropic enterprise in the world.
William Allen White of Emporia and the United States is the state's foremost man of letters. Dr. Vernon Brown, a professor at the National Research Council at Washington, the second member, has had a distinguished career as writer on scientific subjects, and as a director Hutley, chief counselor of Washington university, who has just been elected treasurer, rude his mark in the political world as attorney general of Missouri and then as governor before he entered office.
It happened that a galaxy of brilliant men was in the University of Kansas at the time these three were students, MaJ, Gen. Fred Funston, Prof. E. C. Franklin, the noted economist and philosopher of Science; Dr. E. E. Slosson, director of Science Service, and Senator W. E. Borch, chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations, belonged in that famous group. All of them gained a national reputation. We have to look today, if they are like those of former generations, are inclined to 'look on their predecessors as rather a slow bunch, not up to present day standards. There are several times when they are being used, Mr. Mt. Orego now as were in the late eighties. They will have to watch their step if from the whole bunch they will send out seven who will gain the position in the country that has been held by this group who is one of the Latin, science, mathematics and political economy forty years ago.
Physical punishment as a form of freshman housing at the University of California has been eliminated. As a result of numerous accidents, the sophomore vigilante committee has decreed that the remainder of the year shall be devolved to a mere education program. The program shall be required to meet at certain minimums in tutoring in songs, traditions, and customs of the university.

SERVICE MEANS MANY THINGS TO OPERATORS
For the past four years telephone operators throughout the country are acting as courtesy, kindness, and helpfulness extended by the U.S. Department of duty. This practice is called the What I Did Last Week. The departments are selected each month and printed on small cards to send to every central office in Kansas and displayed on bulletin boards.

This plan has been an inspiration to telephone people and has resulted in carrying the telephone in the mail of dirty. The following incidents, selected at random from hundreds reported by telephone operators in the state, have led to the scope of these voluntary activities.
Helps Poisoned Child
IDA MALLOY, Supervisor.
"The other day a baby called a number. She seemed very excited and sounded as if she were crying. I answered the cow and she was quietly going to the baby that the baby had swallowed coal oil, and was nearly closing to death. I was in shock. I was being certain about it, so I called a doctor and asked him about giving the child the white of an egg or warm salt water to put it down, and they had tried egg white, but it didn't do any good. I then asked her if he would come home with me. She insisted and the lady told me as soon as the child has been given the salt water she wanted, and now much better. She could not thank me enough for my suggestion and as-

Serving the Community
"One morning a lady called information and waited to locate a party to whom she was coming. The party was main running north of town. She did not know the party's name or address. She found her parents and placed a long distance call to集居, as the lady did not care to pay the phone费. Then she thanked me for taking interest in it as it was a bad leak and there was great danger."
