MONDAY, NOV 13,1922 The only thing that gets overstuffed in these days of high prices is furniture. HIS MEAT AND DRINK "This life is no blot for me. I means intensely, and it means good, and to find its meaning is my meat and drink." That is the statement made by William Alien White to an assembly of K. U. students twenty-five year ago. Then he was a young man and his life was before him. The other evening, Mr. White, now a man in his fifties, spoke to another group of University students, and this time too he ended his talk with the same remark. How cheering it is to the youth of today to find a man occasionally, who, through years of public service, has maintained the same idealistic viewpoint with which he started. "This life's no blot for me." That's a remark to be made by a man full of the vigor and optimism of youth—by a man whose keen idealism has not yet been dulled by the pettiness of men. And yet, after twenty-five years spent before the gaze of a people not always uncritical, Mr. White repeats this anawork of his aim and his joy in life, with all the first fervor and sincerity. Here at the University we are rather an idealistic lot; to most of us "life means intensely, and it means good." But constantly we receive from many sources the assurance that ideals are a thing to be laid aside after we leave college. Public life holds no place for the idealist, we are told by those who have tasted of the world and have come away cynical. And then along comes a man whose work, whose life, is a contradiction to such statements and a chalenge to the best that is in us. Not that Mr. White is never wrong; he is only human, and men make mistakes. But for three decades and more he has fought for the good of a great state; with one purpose, the ultimate uplift of his people, in view, he has led thought and comment on many issues of import. William Allen White's judgment is not infailable on all questions of the day, but when he finds that he has been wrong, his is not the reticence of unthinking pride. Perhaps that is why people believe in him and follow his lead. His frankness testifies to his sincerity. Twenty-five years ago Mr. White's meat and wine was his drink for the meaning in life, and yet today he has not had a surfeit of that same meat and drink. After twenty-five years spent in delving into "its meaning," he still finds keen pleasure there and why? Possibly it is because, unlike the whiskey and his gold, Mr. Whif' does not keep the secret of life's meaning to himself, but passes it on. He shares him meat and drink with others. The politicians have worried themselves sick over the elections. Well, now they can recuperate while they are placidly contemplating where they will spend the winter on the people's taxes! DISHONEST OR CLEVER? How many times a day do you hear her expression, "Oh, didn't that clever?" Usually the reference is to some transaction that was a bit dishonest. Does cleverness take the place of that old-fashioned honesty which copybooks declare is the best policy? If the present state of affairs continue, and shady deals come to be regarded not as wrong but only clever, the time will come when we long to find a person who makes no claim to cleverness, but who is satisfied to be simply honest. OUR "NEW" COUNTRY All over the world America is recognized as the infant nation. Our history, as contrasted with that of other countries, is comparatively brief. We realize that we can only sit quietly when it comes to reminiscence. Yet, if all were known, perhaps historic tales could be unfolded that would compare favorably with any history. Recently the ruins of an ancient city were found on an island in Lake Superior. On the site of a supposedly ancient town near an old copper mine on Isle Royle off the north shore of Lake Superior, were found traces of semi-underground dwellings which are declared to be the remains of a city inhabited one or two thousand years ago. If traces of a real town have been found and if its treasure-house of another people's history may be brought to light imagine the effect on the American lovers of ancient lore. They will rejoice in the new requirement of age, and its resulting prestige among the older nations, much as the newly-rich rejoices in the discovery of an ancient, forgotten family trees Plain Tales From The Hill To cheerleader Miller goes the perforated coffee-pot for relieving the lengthy address on various political Governor-elect Davis finished his lengthy tide on various political questions, non-relative to "PEP." Says Miller when he got onto the platform after Davis left, "Now I'll say something you'll all like to hear," meaning as he explained after the laughing subsided, it was time to fall in for cuts. It was during the game Saturday; the rain was falling copiously; the cheerleaders were exhorting the crowd to yell for a lost cause, when a drenched front row student outed: "What's the use, the team can't hear a yell, these rain drops are too big to be penetrated." "I do hope," said the first year student with a smile as he watched the clouds grow more dark and dreaming at the game that Saturn doesn't rain. I hate to get this coat—it might lose its shape.

"How were the Greek children to learn warfare?" Professor Holland asked his class studying Phato's "Republic." "By going to the battlefield and watching their fathers and mothers fighting," replied Miss Demeanor. Yet time there was when I was young, And time when I was plessin', And many were the likely lads I'm stiff and shakey in my hands, And mixey in my talkin'. THE OLD WIFE MUMBLES And red my hair as frosted vine, And good I was at scrappin'. I didn't think how quick that it Would look like quite another. And when I gave my pretty hand So trustful to my lover, I'm crazy now in my old bones. I'm tremblely in my walkin' That come my way a tense. Ah then my eyes were bright as coals Ah then my eyes were bright as coals A-fashin' and a-snappin'. The man, he helps as how he can, But his own tasks are weary. I'm essays now in my old bones, I'm tremble in my walkin' I'm stiff, and shaken in my br I'm trembly in my walkin' I'm stiff and shakey in my hands. Recorded in the library. The girls so fresh in printed lawn, The lads so fine and husky. And oft I see the younguns go Accountin' in the dusky. And many were the likely lads That come my way a n'tenni- And tears blear over these old eyes, And sets my head a skink. Their life will soon be winter cold, And so the drab days drug along. But oh the years are weary. And tears blear over those old eyes, And all the roses taken! —Melba Randolph Parker Their life will soon be winter cold, And all the roses taken!
