The Daily Kauai aims to picture the future of Hawaii and its people. The Kansas is to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the favorite voices; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be useful; to be kind; to be more serious music to wiser hands; in an air of ability to study the University of Hawai'i.

"Dormitories take form," reads a Kansan headline. That's the purpose for building them, isn't it?
WE WON
Well, we beat 'em—and with a mighty good score, too. And not only that, but we outplayed them at every point of the game, and they weren't such weaklings, either. It was a fine game and showed that the team had hit its stride and that from now on there would be no holding it!
After our unlucky game with the Argies, victory seemed especially sweet, and, then too, our Stadium record of no defeats was upheld. Next Saturday will be a crucial test, for Nebraska has a splendid team—it should have with two schools from which to pick. But our team is splendid, too, and they will be playing in the Stadium, and they will have the most loyal and enthusiastic support the University can give them. So let's spread about the propaganda of victory and if we can't beat 'em, at least they will know we have a battling, fighting team!
What an ideal room-mate Andrew Gump would make—he wears no man's collar.
TOO MANY "DAYS"
Now the Fourth of July and Christmas and even thanksgiving days are all right—they really celebrate events which are historically known and observed and need commemorating. They have long been "days" to observe. And we can ever stand Armistice Day. But when it comes to parceling out every day and every other week in the year and labeling them with appropriate little slugs which seriously state their purpose—why it's going a little too far! We have "Navy Day" and Paramount Week" and "Dog Day" and "Do without Meat Day," and so on ad infinitum—and we have just weathered "Forget-Me Not Day," and all America has loyalty and splendid given its money and sympathy to its cause. But how much better it would have been to have sensibly called the tags "Veteran" Cause," or for "Our Fighters" instead of tacking on the last forget-not flower which has held away over the worst forms of romanticism for years. And in so doing the over-worked "day" could have been left out.
People seem to have gone rabbid over the "da"* publicity. The idea of hooking up national advertising with the local dealers has given a strong impetus to the idea that it is from these advertisers and the small daily and its equally embryo chamber of commerce has seized upon the idea.
Far from being a bad thought, it is a most effective way to gain results, but what of the poor public which must be surfaced with so many, many "days"? Is there no new
way of obtaining the coveted attention? Why can't the lexicographers set to work and coin a new word which would mean "to hold a celebration or recognition at a certain time, as a memorial, or a time when everybody shall do something which everyone else is supposed to be doing at the same time?" Surely the wise heads of our country can do as well as American-made slopes when it packs so many meanings into so few letters, and give us a word equivalent to "day" which can be used in this connection.
If you fail to vote on the seventh remember you haven't any kick coming, even if the country goes to he dogs.
OUR FRONTIER IS GONE
Free land under the Homestead Act of 1882 brought Ohio Valley settlers to the west and resulted in economic equalization. When land began to get scarcity and possession difficult, a demand was created for the reclamation of waste lands, and irrigation with government aid followed. But soon civilization crept upon our frontier and with its disappearance, the United States ceased exporting to a great extent and began to turn her raw products into manufactured goods. At the same time, she began to look to South America and the Orient for cheap land.
Previously, during periods of depression, the common man turned to the frontier and there, in wrestling a home from nature, often developed into an exceptional individual because of the hardships he underwent.
Now we have no frontier to provide for the surplus population for which there is no employment during a period of depression.
Americans continue to waste. The United States seemed at one time to have unlimited resources, and so they were disposed of with lavish hands. Now that much of her natural wealth has been squandered, the truth of this despised maxim is recognized. Roosevelt saw that soon the United States would no longer be the "land of promise," because of the vanishing frontier and because of the reckless and wasteful development of natural resources. So, in 1906, he began a program of conservation. Some day, this may be regarded as his greatest contribution to his people. Roosevelt realized that many of the sturdiest human traits of Americans were developed on the frontier, and that from the newer lands came our political democracy. Always the increased power of the people has originated on the frontier. Now, because we have no frontier, are we to lose further development in democracy? Is the old world standard of castle to find places in the West that has always stood for manhood and not for ancestor worshim? How shall we go forward without a frontier?
