U. 25 and 46 GRANDSTAND PLAY The Daily Kanoan aims to picture the undergraduate in a manner further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals it represents; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be curious; to have more serious problems to master; in all to serve in the best of its ability the university. A Chicago minister calls Jack Wailer "the Wild Bull of the Pamacs." The public, however, will not get a share of tomorrow's gate receipts. The last several years have wilt nessed a revival of the art of horse-back riding on the hill. Fine weather such as that of yesterday never fails to call forth its quota of riders, men and women. Unfortunately, especially in the case of the latter, the art of riding is ellipsed by the desire for attention, the absurd tendency to "grandstand play." MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1923 It must be that. What else would send horses galloping up and down the paved streets on the hill, when there are plenty of biddle paths to be found in the vicinity? Quite aside from the pain inflicted on the horses at the time of the occurrences and for several days after, the riders are advertising themselves as amateurs. They are not only cruel; they are making themselves absurd. Lovers of horses were hurt by yesterday's occurrences. Abiters of good taste and creditable conduct were distressed by the evident lack of womanliness and good breeding. If the Pullman company like fancy names so well, why doesn't it dub one of its antiquated cars "King Tut"? PHILANTHROPISTS ALL PITTLEST five institutions of nearly a dozen social welfare organizations of Kansas are to meet at the University from October 10 to 12 for the purpose of forming a state council of social agencies. It would seem sometimes that the present age, fraught with a thousand and one cross-currents of business hazards and tuned to the ring of the silver dollar, is hopeless commercialized. But here is presented a host of organizations which work for humanity with a remuneration measured only in terms of personal satisfaction in well doing. They are philanthropists all, from the Red Cross and community-service groups serving the needy and the luckless, to the tuberculosis association, seeking to heal the withered bodies of life's unfortunate. Perhaps, after all, the world isn't as steeped in commercialism as one would be led to believe. Now that the men are beginning to roll their seeks, the girls will have to think up something new. We would suggest letting their hair grow long and learning to cook as two means of identifying the sexes. THE ROYAL ROAD We have outlines of history, outlines of religion, outlines of art, outlines of literature, until one begins to wonder if we will not have life presented to us soon in outline form. It is a product of the age, the urge to do something quickly, with the least expenditure of energy and time, chiefly the latter. There seems to be no room in our twenty-four hour day to get everything in. Learning at leisure, playing at leisure—anything at leisure is no longer done. And so we resort to outlines, bark-skeletons of the subjects for which they stand. How can one know literature from an outline? Or art? Or anything else? It may serve as a structure upon which to build the whole matter of knowledge, but not as a substitute for it. "There is no royal road to learning"; nor any short-cut to knowledge. Our idea of the total lack of faith is illustrated by the professor on the Hill who wears both belt and sundenders. WHERE ELEPHANTS DIE Somewhere in the heart of Africa is the region where elephants go to die. It is not known that any man has ever seen the spot, nor that any ever shall. But man has begun to think about the vast store of ivory which must be hidden in that secret place. Somewhere, someone is building dreams on the finding of the treasure. Man's mind stores at nothing. He invades a king's kings centuries old to remove the treasures buried there; he works to extract gold from seawater; he dreams of finding the every tasks which millions of elephants have left as they died. It is man's overlapping hope—the acquisition of wealth. Bootleggers yesterday stormed the offices of the Jefferson City Post because of their persecution in its editorial columns. It's a crime the way these newspapers attack legitimate business. THE WORLD WAGS - A gaunt, majestic woman of seventy winters yesterday sat at the bedside of the man with whom she eloped in 1888, in defiance of King Leopold of Belgium and the Vatican, and watched her outcast lover draw his last breaths. The romance of Princess Louise of Cobourg and Geza de Mattasch, captain of the Hussars, had had few parallels in history. Their story reads like a lurid, grotesquely-illustrated scandal torn from a Sunday supplement. America, lover of romance, applauded; and the royalty of Europe gasped when the princess fled from her husband and went to live with Captain Mattasich twenty-five years ago. You Can't Go Wrong * by Trying This morning Mr. Average Citizen smiled amusedly over the press account of the tragedy of the poverty-striken woman—as he touched his napkin to his lips and pushed back his chair from the breakfast table. And the courts of Europe smiled, too; but it was a cynical, self-satisfied smile in behalf of the "justice" muted out to her for her unconventionality, her folly. That is the way the world wags. 12$ _{1/2}$ E. 8th St. Phone 498 Max the Cleaner The Indianapolis Star is demanding the resignation of Governor McCray. And we always thought the *did* get in on the political spoils. T-bones cost as much now as teadances. Quality Service at Reasonable Prices When the fixed opening service for convocations was adopted about a year ago the Lord's prayer was included as a part of it. Unfortunately there is more than one way of repeating the prayer and no one knows just what he *v* expected to say, but we know from the room just about the time we are supposed to be setting our debts or trespassing A single announcement ought to be sufficient to settle the matter so we could all use one wording or the other instead of mumbling. "Forgive us our blub club as we forgive our blub club," and then waiting until we are being led into temptation before taking up the words again. Campus Opinion PROTCH 833 Mass.
