TUESDAY, APRIL 12, 1921 THE WOMEN WIN This is the Cub Kanan, issued by the Cubs for the benefit of the Associated Journalists of this University. If you like the paper, bouquets will be glad received. But if you have any bricks to throw, the Cub staff will not be in the Kanan office. Eve's aftermath has begun seriously to affect the political complexion of our government. The latest victory of the Allied Women's force is the entire administrative conquest of the city of Thayer, a small urban spot in southeastern Kansas. Newspapers throughout the state and middle west have been announcing the results of the important election with headlines such as "Grandmother's to Rule Thayer women will show men how to clean up a city administration." And so on any so forth. Everyone to his taste, as the (sombody) said as it kissed the cow, no doubt holds good in the Thayer incident as well as others. The age is here when the women have the right to vote and govern. It is characteristic of American women that they start right in and exercise their preregulative. One woman from Oklahoma is now a representative in Congress, and in several western states women have been elected to state positions. It is interesting to speculate, in the Thayer case, as to just how the proper patience of the mother with a half dozen postersome kids will hold out when bothered by the half dozen hundred cranks in every town who are continually complaining to the mayor or commissioners about municipal service and improvements. We wonder, will there be any hair-pulling at the month meeting of the board of alderwomen? Without a doubt, womanly standards of cleanliness applied to a city's streets, alleys, and parks ought to improve the face of our cities a great deal. But think how the dust will fly when the time for the twice-a-year house cleaning arrives. Germany is trying to pay her indemnity with remarks instead of marks. KICK ON What a joy it is to kick about the weather! You may haw! your calamity howw ers, your crunchy chrumbers, all your life; you may point the acrowfinger of sophisticated aloofness at the 'planning farmer and chiding house wife, from now on till toddoms-day' but you can't make them quit. It's as natural and relieving to talk and kick about the weather as it is to go to church on Easter morning. What a cruel catastrophe it would have been, for example, if the big treacle two weeks ago had not been forecast all spring by the 'I told you no', that a sluggish old world this would have been if we had not all fallen for the balmy, though premature summer breezes, while they were with us. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Taking the weather as it comes, and always with a smile, is a saintly accomplishment. It is not for us poor humans. We either like it strong, or boot it sky-high with expressions of disgust. And it's a satisfying feeling either way. Burdened with a huge war inidentity, the German people are now in a position to sympathize with the students who are forced to pay laboratory fees. "THE BADGE OF COURAGE" The study of a man's soul, of his inner-most thoughts, it at all times interesting. But the study of a man's soul under trying circumstances is a task that can only be successfully accomplished by the super-human. Perhaps no writer ever analyzed the soul of a man under trying circumstances any better that did Stephen Crane when he wrote "The Red Badge of Courage," will exist this book, which is a stirring episode of the American Civil war, the young author looks into the soul of a soldier recruit and reads the inner thoughts. Stephen Crane was never a soldier, and he understood little of real war; yet, with his fine imagination he paints before the eyes of his readers the horrors of battle scenes. With consummate skill, he sees war from within, and so barres the soul of the young recruit to his readers. The courage of a recruit in one war differs little from the courage of a raw soldier in another. To the soldiers of the late war, who know the harms of battle scenes, "The Red Badge of Courage," will explain things they knew but did not understand. To those who have never seen the battle's flare the book is a revelation in its psychological study of the inner man. And what is best, the soul so skillfully dissected is in most ways typical. Stephen Crane died while in the spring of life. Now, twenty years after his death, "The Red Badge of Courage" still remains as a monument to his memory—a monument that depicts the horrors of war and cries out from its pages for a world where Peace is King. The defeated Hilli politicians can now console themselves with the thought that they still have their lessons to prepare. Cubbish Quips The students who can best tell you the failings of the university athletics are usually the rocking-chair acrobats. A political career consists of three phases: promises, explanations, and memoirs. A brief skirted senior so cute, On a brick, caught the toe of her boot, She fell rather hard, But she wasn't jarred. And we still maintain that a good many students who spend their time-writing limericks and spring poetry will make a careful study of poetic chirpiness. Yeastward ho! And a bottle of (mum!) You see, she had on her spring suit. It is rumored that you are going to run a "colum" that is either witty or foolish, and please. Please tell me how you manage to be so absurd! You can be absolutely anything and say light, foolish things. How can I become amusing? After all, it is the room-mate and not the candidate that counts. Dear Ed: To be amusing, say everything you start to say backwards, comb your hair with a fine tooth comb, and act natural. Dear Contrib: A bright chemical engineer Conected a new kind of beer. He drank it with zest; The Doc did his best. But alas! the poor boy isn't here. All farmers who wish to put a stop to the illicit manufacturing of corn whiskey, should quit raising corn and raise cane. Spoil the rod and spare the sunperch. Indoor sports: Staying through both shows to see the bathing girl comedy.

Harding, new president of the United States, would probably have been a student at this institution if he had been given the opportunity 4 Shake-Up at Kingman Aluminum Notes Halcyon, K. Pompus, O. K, 17, is new neeling apuda for the Little Leopard care in New York. While his school, Halcyon was a member of the no more Tappa Keg fraternity, and a politician of mean ability. Miss Mercell Quitone, who left school on account of sore eyes, was married last week to a man in her town. Mercell was beautifully gowned in a stunning wedding costume, and she carried a bouquet of spring viollets. She wore tan tapens, and her eyebrows and cheeks were well made over. Plain Tales From the Hill An innovation in that little game of what the dictionary defines as "a strong personal attachment induced by sympathetic understanding," was essayed the other day by a member of a certain fraternity whose house is located on Oread Avenue.
