In about two months postmen in the various towns in Kansas will be weighted down with letters carrying such messages as this: "Dear Mamma: Please get my galoshes out of the attic and send them at once."
THE RAIL STRIKE
For more than seventy days this country has watched a strike that bids fair to cause the greatest industrial disturbances that have ever been witnessed. Train service has been curtailed, trains have been wrecked, there have been riots and disorder, the families of strikers have suffered, a federal injunction has been issued, and still the newspapers carry the same old headlines, "Rail Peace Looms," or something equally as meaningless. Peace may have loomed on the railroad horizon, but that is about all it has done.
And, as is usually the case, everyone has a solution, but none of them seem to work. Editors, from those of the great metropolitan sheets to those who sweep out the office, write news and set type, have informed their readers again and again just what is wrong, and told just how the thing should be handled.
Since none of the great editors, with all their wisdom, have been able to effect a strike settlement, it would seem futile for us to try to bring peace to the warring factions. So we have only this to say: the man who walks off his job should not be allowed to some back when he pleases with full rights and privileges. If we employed a man who quit when he chose, kept others from working for us, made of himself a nuisance in general to get what he demanded, and then insisted that he should come back to work the same as if nothing had happened, we would tell him to depart to perdition. We hold that any man has the right to quit, if he please, or strike, if he chooses to call it, that but he has no business trying to keep someone who does want to work from taking his place.
THE FROSH'S TROUBLES
This is the open season for the freshman, and his troubles and vicitudes are many. Not only must he leave his happy home and come to a place where everything is strange to him; he must endure the fests and glues of upperclassmen who are taking revenge for the sufferings they
were forced to undergo while year lings.
When the Fresh stood upon the high school platform and received his pretty diploma last spring he was a man of learning there, and almost an oracle to the juniors, sophomores and freshman he left behind. But when fall came and he entered college, he found at early stage of the game that he was what are known colloquially as small potatoes. He finds that going to college has other phases than that of poring over books in search of higher education, and not the least of these is the guantlet, speaking both literally and figuratively, that he must run. He must suffer from the alleged superior wisdom of those who out rank him regarding scholastic standing, and he must learn to lead a new life in strange surroundings. When he puts in hours wounding around the enrolment pen seeking to get the initiatory ceremonies over with, he wonders if he wouldn't be just about as well off without a college education after all. Lots of men have succeeded without it, and, what is more important, they were spared this ordeal being a freshman. That is his argument.
However, the Fresh usually sticks it out, and in time acquires great wisdom. When he becomes a Soph and the next herd of yearlings arrive he helps put them through the terrors of a freshman's life, and thus feels compensated for the suffering he endured a year before.
THE SNOB
A lot of people were disappointed last spring when their favorite candidate failed to be elected to student council positions, but the old school seems to run about as catastrophe it ever did in spite of that catastrophe.
With the opening of school we have with us again that peculiar hybrid of college life—the Snob. While existing out in the world as well as in college, an institution for higher education appears to be the place for a Snob to thrive particularly well. It is in a college where most Snobs learn the art of Snobbing, and where the art is practiced to the greatest degree.
The Snob is of both sexes, so for convenience we will let the pronon "It" suffice for the babeling of this admixture of arrogance, bone-headedness and flap-doodle.
Such is college life.
Official Daily University Bulletin
It usually comes to school clothes in blessed ignorance when a more frost. Soon, however, if Its father happens to have a fair-sized account at the First National Bank, It "gets on." to use the Snob vernacular. Before long It begins to array itself in the latest and snappiest models pictured in all the best 15-cent magazines, and to look with pity on those whom it used to play in the back yard with, but who are now at the same institution working their way through school. And the renting of a dress-suit once or twice a year puts It on the high road to snobbery, if it is a male; far above the proletariat. Regarding forears, It is usually descended from some illiterate peasant who made his way to the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave in the steerage in years gone by, began to amass a fortune by sticking an avaricious prong into the Noble Red Man, and learned the art of figuring interest. When Grandfather did he left considerable of the fortune, so of course the third generation is now of the Blue Blood.
So, as usual, the Snob is here.
There is no help for it, more's the plity.
