THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Old Kansas Newspaper Was Real Example of Americanism And Indian Language was Used
Your modern Kansas newspaper prides itself upon its 100 per cent Americanism. But it is kidding itself and the public also. It needs but a backward look to the first news sheet from Kansas. Sindwiler state, to see its mistake.

To Leavenworth goes the honor of publishing the first English newspaper in Kansas. On Sept. 15, 1854, the "Kansas Weekly Herald" blossomed forth there. At that time the town did not have a single permanent building. The typesetter set the first edition under an old cim tree and the editor, Osborn Adams, remarked in the lead editorial:
For the first Jayahawk newspaper was printed exclusively in the Indian language.
March 1, 1835, was the birthday of the "Shawnee Sun," and also of Kansas journalism. Just a small quarter-sheet, the sun was edited by a Baptist minister, the Reverend Johnston Lykins, of the Shawnee Baptist mission. The printer of the first editions was one Jotham Meeker;
The first and original Sun shore steadily by jerks. In the spring of 1837 Mecker went to the Ottawa mission in Franklin County, and left the printing of the paper to J. G. Bratt. Until 1839 Pratt printed the sheet—and then its preacher-editor ill, and the Sun set act to rise ILL and ILL old press that shaped its spudgy columns of Indian heioglyphics was taken to Prairie City and used to print the "Freeman's Champion."
This "Freeman's Champion" was a white man's paper by the way, and was printed in a white man's language. The made test was its first plant.
"Our editorials have been written and our proof corrected while sitting on the ground with a shingle for a table."
In 1859 the Weekly Herald became a daily,but in 1861 its promising
JAPAN SAVES $100,000,000
Will be Used for Education and Good Roads

Tokyo, (tily mail)—Japan will save something like $200,000,000 yen, or $100,000,000 per year on naval budgements alone, if the Hughes agreements go through at Washington and are ratified.
Estimates vary, some higher, some lower, but a conservative average of the best informed opinion here is the figure given above.
All financiers in Japan—amateur and professional, in and out of the government—are figuring what to do with the money.
Jennukee Irouwe, Governor of the Bank of Japan, and perhaps the foremost financial authority here, confessed that it is almost impossible to predict the net saving with accurate detail.
For this reason Inouye said the actual "saving" may be reduced considerably.
He pointed out that the government will be called upon to pay unemployment allowances to discharged government naval contractors whose business will be temporarily ruined creation of war-craft construction.
Nevertheless the people, the politicians, the press and a host of self-nominated experts are producing variable budgets" for the use of the savings.
Schools and good roads lead the list in every case. It is very clear that if the popular will has its way the greatest naval armament reduction beneficial in Japan will be the educational system, with high-way construction, which is sorely seeded, a close second.
However, the cold fact is that not-withstanding the widespread desire for education—which is nothing less

career was cut short by the death of its owner. By that time, however, the Jayhawkey state was brittling with pioneer newspapers. During the same year that the Jayhawkey officer appeared at Kickapoo, in 1855 three papers were established in Lawrence. John Spear, prominent figure in "bloody Kansas" history, published one of these—the Kansas Tribune. Within a year Spear moved the Tribune to Topeka, so as to reinforce the legislature, and its meetings.
A day after the Tribune was founded in Lawrence, the Herald of Freedom appeared in the same town. The editor, George W. Brown, had a law printing office. The third Lawrence paper was the Kansas Free State. Both it and the Herald of Freedom lived up to their names in the exciting times of 55 and 56, when the battle between the free-state men and the souvenir's rights advocates was fought.
The bitter enemy of the Free State and the Herald of Freedom was a loveloved sheet published at Atchison by John H. Springfield and Robert S. Kearney, the fighting Atchison Irishman called their paper. It served as the organ of the border ruffians, and played a hectic part in the struggles of "heeding Kansas." After the years of strife, the Squaws and its owners changed its name, and also its editorial policies.
To the "Daily Kansas Freeman"
published at Shawnee, Kane, begin-
ning October 24, 1865, goes the honor
of being the first daily paper pub­
lished west of the Missouri River. It did not stand the gulf long, however, for finally it got tired of trying to save
itself from destruction by the border
ruffians, and on November 7, 1845(7),
it published its reign number.
And so endeth the first chapter of the genesis of Jayhawker journalism.

More Time for Germany Within Which to Pay
Cannes, France, Jan. 13.—A provisional moratorium for Germany was decided upon by the reparation committee of the supreme council before its adjournment, it was announced today.
Germany will not have to pay the 500,000 to 700,000 marks originally demanded on January 15, but must present a new plan for payment. Guarantees of financial reform must also be given by the Germans.
While the provisional moratorium is in effect, pending a new agreement for payment, the Germans must pay 31 million gold marks each ten days. This is designed to speed up the Germ's arrival at a new plan for payment.
