The Daily Kansan asks to picture the undergraduate of university, of a university further than that, to news the news by standing for the ideals of democracy and to be alert in its actions; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave home; to serve in service; to all serve to the best of its ability.

THE MAY FETE
The May Fete is a week from today. It is an event of aesthetic value to the University and is to be quite elaborate this year.
Last year it rained during the day and even during the performance of the May Fate. At the same time there was quite a crowd there, and the rain and sun and rainbow all at the same time added to the beauty of the scene. The people who have found out the value of the event will not stay away on any account.
Counting on good weather this year we should have a large crowd in attendance. This affords a splendid opportunity for advertising the University. How many people outside of Lawrence do you suppose will be there? Not very many unless you get busy and tell them about it and urge them to come.
The University furnishes the attraction and you are its publicity agents. Are you efficient?
GOSSIP MONGERS
How strange that the hike in the price of gasoline and Kansas City's enthusiasm for Captain Rodriguez should come at the same time.
From time immemorial the scandi monger has been denounced. Yet we have him with us still.
The habit of gossiping has always been attributed to sewing circles, indies' aid societies, and, old maids in general, who haven't any thing better to do. But this can no longer be the rule. Everybody does it—that is—it is done in every walk of life and by both sexes. The women no longer claim the distinction exclusively.
True, it is human nature to be curious about things. But it isn't true human nature to add something of one's imagination to a tumor that has been started, simply to be able to tell one better than the other fellow. That is pure dishonesty.
A person is suspected of an act. He is immediately condemned in the eyes of some and so the story goes out to others. The person who tells it is doing himself an injustice and is wronging and bringing unhappiness to the parties involved.
Yet this thing is done every day on the hill. And it is often found that the people who talk are ones who haven't such a clean slate themselves, They forget the old admistonation that "There is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us that it hardly behooves any of us to talk about the rest of us."
There are times to talk and times to talk. And there are things to talk about and things to talk about.
Let's drown the gossip monger.
PRISON REFORM
Years ago America was stirred by a prison reform movement. Evils of the prison system were bared by enthusiastic investigators, and the country stood agast at the brutal methods used by "officials" who used their authority as a cloak for unwarranted and pitiless cruelty to the outwalls of society under their supervision. Reform was brought about.
That was years ago. And now, at a time when an awakened national
consciousness is seriously actuating the giving of aid to unfortunate Europeans, when the national mind is turning to the solving of questions like that of political cleanliness, a telegram flashes the news that no less than nine convicts have been killed by work in Florida within a year.
At first the fact sounded propogatoriously exaggerated. That men, exciled from society and supposedly put in an institution for the purpose of correcting a diseased condition of mind and body, should be deliberately killed seemed without the pale of plausibility. More than that, it smacked of medievalism to the point of being ludicrous.
Then, when the story of the trial of the man said to be responsible for the atrocity, began appearing in the newspapers the public realized that it was face to face with a concrete fact. Instead of performing its function as a corrective agency, the Florida state prison has, under the supervision of J. B. Thomas, become an instrument of torture—and death—for society's unfortunate.
Conditions in Florida will be remediated. They always are when sensational exposures serve to crystallize public opinion against them. The question is, while the public mind is turned to the evils of convict labor in the southern state, how many more prison supervisors in other states are using corrupt means to better themselves financially? American ideals, American vanity as regards her modernism in treatment of crime and criminals, have been given a severe jail. If we are to take pride in our government of the people, it is time to ferret out the bad spots—not wait until the damage has been done.
Life is mighty bitter sometimes but who of us would give it up?
"Find Traces of Policeman," says a headline. Often that's about all that can be found of one.
Dispatches say that France will stay in the Ruhr until paid. Now we understand why they have been refusing the German offers of reparations.
"We Need European Food"; cry the captives of the Chinese bandits. Rice and rats do make a poor diet.
We didn't know Paul Revere beonged to the riding academy, but we aw 'em out with his horse the other ay.
Industrial improvement is said to be reflected throughout U. S. Let's see it isn't just another mirage.

Parties are organized every night and invade the newly paved streets which give fine opportunity for a little exhibition of skating. The physiotherapist assists with the sport and sees no reason why women should not participate in it.

They told us what a shaving cream should do—the things they wanted.
And then we worked for 10 months — made 130 careful experiments — to perfect it. But—we succeeded in doing that that has fissured excellences.
Now all we ask is that you give us a sporting chance to make your shaving easier, quicker, more satisfactory. Just shake 10 times at our expense.
Check us up on each of these five points:
