The Daily Kanaan is able to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kanaan; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for it, and to write a history of its writings; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to solve; and to best of all, to help the best of its ability the students of the University.

UNCLE JIMMY—HIS SPIRIT NEVER DIES!
Two years ago today, Uncle Jimmy left us.
And yet most upperclassmen, especially in the School of Law, maintain that he is not gone. For is not a mans spirit stronger than his flesh?
As far as influence is concerned, they say, Uncle Jimmy is a stronger force today than he was five years ago.
One phase of this tremendous influence exerted by Uncle Jimmy's spirit is being reflected now, two years after his physical death, in the memorial project nearing actuality. Without doubt, the strongest incentive force in the Stadium-Union drive in many places—notably in Kansas City—the promise that the statue of Uncle Jimmy, soon to be installed on the Campus, was an integral part of the plans.
Truly, the spirit of Uncle Jimmy is universal in its appeal. How could it be otherwise, being as it is so fundamentally human in its qualities?
And in the particular stage of the drive which we now face—in which active K. U. students who were not here last year are being enlisted—the Uncle Jimmy phase of it also burns strong.
The Aargies are an optimistic bunch. In telling of their defeat at the hands of the Jayhawkers, the Kansas State Collegiate maintains they're not given up hope. For were not the children of Israel forty years getting out of the wilderness?
STOP FEEDING THE OGRE!
If you were compelled to spend nine-tenths of your income for weapons and ammunition to protect yourself and family from enemies and to pay damages caused by shooting scraps in the past, you would have a hard time finding money with which to buy the baby shoes and to pay for the groceries.
Yet that is just what Uncle Sam is doing. He digs down into his jeans for ninety-three cents to pay the Ogre of War, and saves only seven cents to pay for agriculture, education, highway construction and internal improvements.
For the fiscal year 1921-22 the federal program calls for 4,000,000,000 Ninety-three cents of every dollar is to be used to pay for past wars and to prepare our army and navy for future carement.
What do you think about it, University men and women?
We are still paying for the Mexican and Civil wars; and the World War has made the tax burden almost intolerable.
Expenditures for armaments to wage future wars can be opposed. This opposition should arise from the younger generation. In fact, a move in this direction, by which disarmament sentiment among college men can be crystallized, has been started by the calling of a conference of representatives from American colleges and universities to be held at Princeton.
It is high time we awaken from our lull of indifference. Even today we learn that flashless gunpowder has been perfected by the engineers of the American army ordinance department so that night firing guns cannot be spotted as they bark.
The ordance department of the American army has completed the heaviest gun in the world, a 16-inch weapon for coast firing. It shoots a 2400-pound shell twenty-two miles.
American army men have developed a new Brown-
ing rapid-fire gun for use against aircraft and tanks.
It shoots twice as fast as the old gun and uses a shell
twice as large as the old machine gun ammunition.
American army men are perfecting self-propelled gun mounts that will be ready for use within six months.
Three American super-dreadnaughts, armed with 16-inch rifles in turrets of nine guns, costing more than $100,000,000, have taken the water this year. Of course these dreadnaughts will be antiquated in a few short years when we will build larger and more expensive ones. One hundred million dollars would build approximately one hundred Stadia, such as our present memorial Stadium, one hundred Unions, such as our proposed memorial Union, and one hundred statues of Uncle Jimmy, such as is beinb constructed. But how much wiser it is that the money be dumped into three super-dreadnaughts to be junked in a few years, than to be invested in education or in national highways, or in other permanent internal improvement.
The old Alabama was sunk by a 2,000-pound bomb dropped from an army airplane. The army bombers are perfecting a 4,000-pound bomb. Two such bombs dropped on Oread would wipe theiversity of Kansas off the map.
November 11 a little group of men representing Britain, France, Japan, China, and the United States, will meet in Washington to talk about international disarmament. Little hope for any great reduction in armaments is promised now as the result. But an active and persistent crusade carried on by the army of young men and women who are going out every year from our universities might work a miracle.
We can't side-step our obligation. We've got to uncle Umsch $t$ spend to our taxes more for instrumentalities of construction than for instrumentalities of destruction. Ninety-three cents of every dollar cannot continue to be placed on the bloody altar of War.
In many cases it would have been a wise father that knew his own son if he had seen him at the late Loge convention.

Plain Tales from the Hill
Acting as guide for some of the high school editors who visited K. U, last week has led one cub to believe that she had better get up early and see K. U, herself.
Two girls from Cottonwood Falls fell to her lot. First they wanted to see the Thayer Exhibit. Ahl thought the cub, I know where that is. And she bravely marched them up the three flights of stairs of the center Administration Building. But also! the door opened and she had to turn her disappointed visitors clawerly.
"Let's go over to the gymnasium and watch one of the gym classes," said the eub, thinking this might be a good idea.
Here again disappointment stalked. The class had just been dismissed. "Well, anaway," she remarked, "we can see the swimming pool." Downstairs they went, only to find the junior locking up for the night.
"I'd like to see the liquid air," piped up one of the girls. The cub was stumped. "I don't think you had better go in the chemistry laboratory, girls." she hashes over the image and had one of his eyes put out by a chemical explosion.
“It’s after four now, girls! don’t you want to go over to Frazer to the toilet?” the girls ascertained.
"Come right in," said a kindly young woman at the door as the three entered. "Make yourselves at home and in a few minutes I'll have some one come over and introduce you."
"Pardon me," mildly interspersed the cub, "but I'm supposed to be taking care of these girls this afternoon."
"Oh, pardon me," said the young woman hastily,
"I hope I haven't insulted you."
"Dear me no," replied the cub cheerfully. "I'm just a cub and am used to it."
