The Daily Karen wants to picture the future of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news by building the state's library; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be nice; to be more serious problems to wiser hands; in order to develop his ability to the students of the University.
THURSDAY, MARCH 15.1923
Washington society is angry. The bootlegger from whom was taken a list of names of people prominent in the capital city is now insulting them by declaring that it was the "sucker list" of an automobile salesman.
POLITICS OUT OF PLACE
American college debaters are to invade England. They will probably take an interpreter with them.
Hill politics may be indicted on several counts. The secrecy with which the names of members of the party organizations is guarded, is questionable. Secrecy always breeds suspicion.
The system of secret caucuses and nominations is antiquated, outworn, and unfair to the students. It is an apeing of the sleight of hand methods which marked the days that are considered the blackest in the political history of this country. No secret organization has a right to take unto itself the rights that belong to the whole group.
Usually, neither of the political parties offer a definite, constructive platform. The purpose of political parties is to organize public opinion, but our campus political parties fail to do this. Voters are presented with nothing about which to form definite opinions. Campaigns are mere tests of machine power—a contest to see which side can line up the most voters.
Actual qualifications for office sometimes play a part in elections, but when all the froth is blown away, most campaigns are little more than popularity contests between the candidates of the two parties.
The strongest indictment against campus politics is the insidious influence it exerts in places where it should never enter. It plays a part in a great many professional fraternities where other considerations should be supreme. It creeps into the management of student publications. It has presented the athletic coaches some of their most serious problems. There is hardly a student activity that does not feel the effect of politics in one way or another.
Parties must remain if we are to have student government but our present system needs improvement. Let us have less secrecy. Let the parties make their campaigns on some definite issues and let the winning party member its campaign pledges. And save all other things, let us keep littles in its place.
Germany has been sending out fliers toward England suggesting a attachment of the deadlock. England will lend an attentive ear to these proposals, for in spite of her ancient eminity for the Germans, she does not like to see France annoying new territories and rich industrial and mining districts. She looks with a jalousy eye upon the vigorous policies of France, for she sees in it the possible menace of a militaristic France with all the attendant ambitions of the imperialist nation.
The New York Board of Education wants a new head examiner. Give them a true-false quiz.
AT OUR OWN DOOR
AT OUR OWN DOWN
One creditable act of the last Congress was the approval of a postmaster declaring right off the bat that he is not going to run the department on a political basis. The people like to see political influence minimized in favor of efficiency and economy.
Now that the postal department is to be non-political, the people of the country flare up in opposition to the ultimatum that no mail will be delivered where individual post boxes are not provided. The requirement has long been a law, but there are still those who must have the postman come to the door, ring, and wait for the mistress to come leisurely down the stairs to take the mail from his hands. We Americans love economy and economy just so long as it does not interfere with our own mode of life.
The smallest onions are sometimes the strongest.
CLASSROOM ETHICS
Schoolroom ethics is a curious branch of moral philosophy. One of its principles seems to be that "where there is no trust, deceit is no crime." Some students are so constituted that the painful precautions some professors take to prevent cheating present an irresistible challenge to cheat. It is a game. Mirrors in the ceiling add zeal to it. When the professor steps out one door and pops in at another suddenly, the game becomes live. When he stalks about the room during an examination looking for charaters, successful cribbing has a sweet flavor.
We have another type of instructor who tacitly puts his students on their honor. He spurs the devices of the instructor who considers everyone a cheat. In this man's class there is some cheating, but there is usually less than in the class of the suspicious instructor. When the class is on its honor, class sentiment is against the cheater.
It is this group disapproval of honesty in the classroom that makes the honor system workable. An honor system can never succeed until student sentiment outlaws the cheater Building up this sentiment is essentially a student task, but its best development must be the result of faculty and student co-operation.
Another childhood tradition shattered—we learn that Eskimos don't all live in snow houses!
A GALLON OF OIL
From under the rocks and dirt of South America archaeologists are digging the remains of an ancient civilization, wiped out through the ravages of a fever which long ago struck at the roots of the social and economic structure of the time. Fifteen centuries ago, Grecian civilization was weakened, until it dwindled into almost nothing, partly through the work of the fever which was wasted it.
History's pages are full of the records of the far-reaching influence of some seemingly insignificant forces. But they have also played a political and economic parable.
Though in those other cases material forces which worked their ravages, today avarice and greed make a spiritual force as insidious and as subtle as those fevers of old, and which, with buried heads, are oating at the heart of our own civilization.
All America was stirred last week, when it read at its breakfast table that the Standard Oil Company has a corner on the world oil market, and that before long that commodity will have reached the phenomenal price of one dollar a gallon.
And while we ride behind perfectly-running engines here, and ruminate more or less vaguely on the catastrophe attendant upon such a situation, the Near East pot boils and slimmers with the agitation centered around the Mouli oil fields.
England and Turkey and France, with perhaps unknown others vie for possession of the richest oil fields in the world. Eastern and western diplomacy meet to iron out the situation, with the greatest gain to each side the ultimate goal.
A gallon of oil may seem an insignificant thing, yet the peace of Europe, and, possibly, of the world, is involved.

This epidemic of sleeping sickness has at last reached Kansas. We know by the irregular ways of the University whistle. Class incidents, humorous to some and tragic to others, develop from these overtime class periods. It's getting so one doesn't have to major in economics to enjoy life. This will be explained by the next subject. Scientists should get on this epidemic before it hits the studies and makes the thing one hundred percent.
Nat Green, the hero of the battle of Tennessee street, appeared on the hill today with a face that looked like someone had massaged it with a rake. Nat says he lost his stiff upper lip when someone bit him at a Varsity.

Q.E.D.
"SHOW me," says the math. teacher—and when the chalk clouds have settled down there are a lot of figures signed "Q.E.D." which aren't "Q.E.D." at all.
Say "Show me" to the shaving cream you're using and see what answer you get. Will it soften your beard right down to the base before the breakfast bell has rung twice? Will it leave your skin smooth and supple after every shave and give you the well-groomed look of perfect skin health?
Every day men are finding how much easier shaving can be made because of the speed and
thoroughness with which Williams' softens the beard. Likewise, they are finding a help for their skin in Williams' that they never found in any other shaving cream. Try it yourself. The difference may surprise you.
