WHAT TOLL
Two years ago a student of the teachers college of Hays was killed when he took hold of a live guy wire on an electric wire pole while he was hiking through the land of the state experiment station. Had any other agent than the state been responsible, it would have been liable for damages, for the legislature had been warned several times that the wiring system of the station was dangerous. But the toll of a life was required before the state acted.
Fourteen year ago Snow hall was condemned. The state has been warned at every legislative session since that time that the building was built for use, and was dangerous. But the building still stands, and is being used.
What toll of life will the state exac before it abandons Snow hall?
CHILDREN AND DYNAMITE
There is no danger of the Wrights interests interest bankrupt as long as the Sachem organization exists.
Christmas without Santa Claus!
Many a home will be missed this year all because Santa's bank went broke, Santa, however, was not the only depositor. Men and women in every walk of life have lost money, precious money, that often times took them years to earn.
Our modern bank failures have become the plague of American life. In their wake are vanishing hopes, dwarred ambitions, heartaches, tears and human suffering. Ten years of progress is clipped from the life of many a struggling soul already perms growing old. Poverty, the毒龄 of old age, hovers over him to be escaped only by premature death. It is the high crime of the century but still within the law.
The trouble seems to be that on civilization has invented machinery; which it does not fully understand. Consequently we are using the trim and error method with costly results. We are putting dynamite in the hands of children when we place such a complicated and delicate generator of progress as our banking system is today, under the control of minds that do not fully understand it. A sample of the results can be seen in the working of the Kansas bank depositor's guarantee fund law, a socialistic idea that has done a great deal to encourage bad banking and ruin the banker who did confine himself to sane methods.
It is doubtful whether more laws will help even though they be drafted by experts. We have more already than any other nation in the world What we need to do is to make banking a profession as well as a business; to make it exclusive and not all inclusive; to build up a code of ethics that its members dare not violate What we need is fewer banks and more bankers.
LABOR IN MEXICO
"To teach man how to exploit land and not man"—that is the motif of one of the new agricultural colleges of Mexico, and it has been the policy of the Mexican labor government in freeing the masses from an intolerable state of peonage.
Mexico has repeatedly been called
backward, and in many cases truthfully so. And yet the United States, with its much vaulted freedom and protection of individual rights, can well pay heed to some of the progressive strides Mexico is making instead of creating strife in a diplomatic exchange of notes.
The constitutional status of the worker in Mexico is superior to that of the laboring man in the United States. Not that he is higher paid and his working conditions are better on the whole. When fifteen years ago there existed not one popular school, when the worker could not even call his soul his own but was the object slave of a heartless landlord and church, his present standard of living cannot be expected to equal that of his American brother worker.
But time will witness his emancipation. In Mexico the people contravened supreme courts by placing such protections of labor as the eight-hour day, seven-hour night, child laws and maternity provisions in the constitution of their country, trusting that no high court would ever dare to declare the constitution unconstitutional.
Those are only a few of the dormant clauses of the Mexican constitution now being put into effect by the present liberal government, as related by Sr. Roberto Haberman of Mexico City, who spoke on the campus last week.
Apparently the way to become imbued with the spirit of Santa Claus is to "bust a lung for him" with "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk" at the terminator of a beautiful convexion.
After all a nation which is learning to place life above property is not so backward.
THE COMMON COLD
The committee on industrial waste of the Federated American Engineering Societies appointed by Herbert Hower in January, 1921, reached the conclusion through its study that of the 42,000,000 persons gainfully employed at that time, there was probably an average loss of more than eight days to each person each year on account of illness disabilities. In the extensive list of disabling sicknesses which is given, the common cold holds a prominent position.
Again, in a special study conducted by the United States Public Health Service with six distinct groups, the common cold appears in four of these groups and is here regarded as one of the most serious disabling diseases. To the average individual these convincing facts should hold some significance. The common cold, at the most lowers the vitality of the individual, although he may not give up his regular routine work when first affected, the fact remains that high class work cannot be turned out.
Surely many colds could be avoided if people were sufficiently careful and wise in regard to personal hygiene. Their prevention would cut down very greatly the tuberculosis, influenza and pneumonia cases.
Special precaution should be exercised when in a group. The neighbor of an uncovered cough or sneeze is almost always generously sprayed and quite naturally a large percentage will develop the annoying colo-
The second all-musical vespers was one of the most impressive that the choir has given. Though the instrumental vocalist sang the vocals, the it was latter that gave the balance and lent the interest to this program that was backing in the choir.
At the Concert
Choosing between the different instrumental numbers is indeed a difficult task, and is probably an individual matter. Greater interest probably centers around the two ensembles, the first that of violin, cello, piano and organ, in the "Ave Marina," and the second that of violin, cello, piano and organ in the "Piano." These two ensembles seemed to have a perfect balance, and much of the beauty laid in the different qualities of the instruments.
The string quartet was particularly effective. Beethoven's "Adagio" is one of the most beautiful numbers for stringed quartets that has been written. Ruth Ellis created the atmosphere of the whole program by

The novel is a daring and graphic account of the "whist" parties and drinking debacles purported to have been caused by "gung" in power. The characters are but thinly veiled by Mr. Adams, so that the reader frequently catches himself reading other accounts into the ones actually given.
her artistry in the organ prelude. The different voices were used for the best effect, and an excellent ballet of them is seen between the roles and accompanying parts.
About a month ago this little book exploded in Washington like a bombshell, astounding the higher circles in palettes with its revelations in connection with a recent Presidential administration. Its significance was such that jurymen in a trial now in progress were closely questioned as to their scrutiny of this novel before being permitted to serve.
I miss Irene Peabody easily outshine the others in the vocal numbers. She was the center of interest in the vocal trio with Mr. Downing and Mr. Christy, and her solo was the only vocal number that was in the class of the instrumental music. Perhaps the differentiation should not be made, but Ms. Downing did, and gave the numbers much of the effect. Mr. Downing did unusually yesterday and seemed aid of his tone throughout his part of the program.

Revelry, by Samuel Hopkins Adams
*Born in Philadelphia.* **P.R.E.I.**
Miss Ponoboy again was the center of interest in "Christmas Day" by the choir, Mrs. Menorrieff did her part well, but her voice was not particularly suited for the part. The choir was fairly well balanced. The soprano seemed predominate in the processional and recessional.
It is reaggregatable that Mr. Christy was used as a first and last resort, for his voice yesterday was certainly in no condition for use. The whole tenor's harsh "Amen," and one doubled that he would be able to finish his solo. For the good of both the audience and himself, Mr. Christy should not have attempted to sing his threat in its present condition.
Book Review
By Edgar Schowalter
The tableaux were beautiful. From the standpoint of color, the second was the most artistic, but the third was the most effective on account of the greater stability of these taking part.
That the American public should be aware of irregular procedure in governmental circles when it exists is a plititudine mortis when it occurs to insert after the nub.

The University Daily Kansan remarks that Uncle Joe Cannon was a tough kid. He was a good student, a Apropos of this Jack Harrison of the Beloit Gazette has the following:
*Joseph G. Cannon served longer in the lower house of congress than any other U.S. senator and was government he. He was nominated by the Republicans, the district for whom he was elected five-three times, so that his public services covered a period of twenty-three years. When elected in congress, he was elected speaker a number of terms and for years as president of the board of appropriations he controlled the purse strings of our government. If such a man had ever been among the great figures of our time, the Kansas should indicate to the thousands of young men that intended to serve him would be necessary for such a classification.*
Not pretenning to make answer for the Kansan, who, like I, never rebeckered to sit under his desk. But young man or woman who wrote that Kanan editorial probably had learned somewhere or other to distinguish between political power and genuine grumbling.
The Pestiferous Alumni (The McGill Daily)
Under this suggestive title Povey Marks, notorious for his contribution to the literature that objects college textbooks in the form of images in the relation between the alumni and the college in an article which appeared in a recent issue of *Marp*.
He tells the story that several college presidents were discussing what they would do after they retired. He asked, "What should I do?" question. "Well, said one of them," I don't know that I'd be fit for anything but I know what I'd like to do. I'd like to be the superintendent of an orphan nation so that I wouldn't have to worry.
"I've so much better amusement" esi- claimed another, "I want to be a war den of a penitentiary. The alum would never come back to visit."

Mr. Maris is concerned with the problem as it exists in the American college system, and he asks for the assistance of graduate societies in the administration of university affairs has rendered the lives of many college students at its most difficult. The alumni must unanticipate an inevitable desire to control the athletic policies of their colleges and institutions an unstable desire to bound themselves to their enthusiasm. There can not be enough of rab-ranking and blatant exhibitions of organized extracurricular activities to maintain their enthusiasm. This tendency in American education is to be defended. While pretendment is a very common practice, it bind the enthusiastic interest in the affairs of their alma mater, university heads should not omit them because they are important to the graduates who have passed out of the arena of undergraduate study. They are also obliged to the administration of the college; they may not dictate the policies of the university of which they no longer

Examinations and quizzes were strange affairs at Columbia, Mo., 85 years ago. An announcement such as this would appear in the paper: "The examination of the Columbia Female Academy will take place at the Union church on the last Thursday of April," and the friends are invited to attend", and on the dreaded day young women would dispense their views on life, death and other such subjects as would engage the attention of crinoline damsels of 1841. Such subjects as "Happiness," "The Grave," and "Address to the People" then be presented with great wisdom before an representative audience.
