FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1921.
According to the geologists, Kansas has a buried mountain. Had it not been buried, it might have been chosen as an ideal spot for the state university.
NEVERMORE
The efforts of Charles Francis Joseph to regain his throne as king of Hungary and emperor of Austria come as a distinct surprise to the world which had believed that monarchy had received a deadly blow in the outcome of the war world. It is difficult to determine just what the man means. His reasoning is certainly illogical, or he would know that never again will the type of monarchy which he exemplified be numbered among the sovereignies of the world. He will find the future far more tranquil back in the brushes of abdication, whence he has so recently emerged.
Neither Charles Francis Joseph nor Wilhelm Hohenzo尔zilern, nor Nicholas Romanoff, were he alive, could possibly invigorate the world into believing that the theory of the divine right of kings will hold water in modern civilization. The world is through with monarchies whose histories have been antagonistic to constitutional freedom. Just as the eight-hour day and union law are considered integral parts of a just economic system is the abolition of kingship considered a part of political liberty. He who seeks to violate any of these has difficulty, because he runs counter to the trend of modern conviction.
The world doesn't want the Austrian emperor to return. It is satisfied to see him spend the rest of his days in hardship and solitude, apart from the world, where he cannot exert the pervious influences of monarchy.
The current issue of the Literary Digest contains an article entitled "What College Students Don't Know". The number is the regular size.
TECHNICALITY HIS FRIEND
The papers the other day carried the picture of a fat-cheeked man sitting in an automobile, smiling.
He was Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, alleged draft evader—"alleged" because technically he cannot be called a draft evader. Technically, and at the present time, legally, he is on a par with the boldest American infantryman who ever heard the metallic song of a German machine gun. Technically, he cannot be brought to justice, and technically, the American detectives who attempted to arrest him and who are now confined in a German jail cannot be liberated through efforts of their country. But America can public opinion brands Bergdoll an arch-slacker and a disgrace to the president whose name he bears.
International Law is very cold and unresponsive to sentiment. It has no generally recognized rules that require even the worst criminal to be given up by one sovereign upon the request of another. In the absence of
a treaty, extradition is not, according to the strictest rules, a legal obligation, and the great majority of the international jurists hold that extradition is a matter of comity or moral obligation. The moral obligations that Germany feels in regard to this matter are probably far and far between.
Bergdoll grows fat over in Germany, and poses before the camera and smiles. In the memory of American soldiers who saw the Statue of Liberty only once, the State Department should not cease until it has exhausted every diplomatic effort to bring the coward to justice and administer unto him a traitor's dues.
Uncle Sam's luxury budget show that $350,000,000 was spent for soft drinks during the past year. However this waste has been offset by the huge mount saved on hard drinks.
On Other Hills
Commencing this summer, Bryn Mawr will offer a free summer course to seventy working girls. All the faculties and advantages of the winter term will be given to these girls, the college will give them a fund. The seventy girls will be selected through co-operation with representatives of women's labor and welfare organizations, and other social workers, and only those deserving of higher education will be given this summer. Students of such nature and is being watched with interest by other educational institutions.
The ninth chapter of Delta Tau Delta in the Southern states is to be installed soon at the Georgia School of Technology. The national fraternity was first officially petitioned last August by Pi Phi Delta.
According to the Columbian Evening Missourian, the authorities of the University have put a taboo on "check to check" dancing but the "bodifier" is still permitted provided the couple keeps four inches apart.
A class in primary automotive mechanics has been introduced at Wellesley in order that the girls may learn to repair their cars in case of minor troubles on the road. Many of the dainty misses of the Boston school are already gilly familiar with the intricacies of the various carburetors and the gentle art of fixing spark plugs and ignition systems.
The department of Journalism at the University of Missouri gives four banquets a year for the carriers of the Columbia evening Missouri. In addition to the carriers the business manager, the circulation manager, and the faculty of the school of Journalism, attend the banquets.
Spring Poetry
A Lesson from Nature
The golden glory of the sun
Pales slowly in the distant West;
The shadows lengthen--darkness
The day is done—the world's at rest.
But for the weary, anxious step,
Lest in the dark he turn astray,
A glowing coal now lights his path,
And leads him towards another day.
Lately the tendency has been in an opposite direction. The marrying age advances, because, we are told, of economic considerations. The marriage-able young man is the one who has something laid by. It does not universally happen that way, but it is. But it can be a Kansas University professor, Dr. William A. McKeever, says that it is no more necessary now that it ever has been that young couples should wait until their ship comes in before venturing on the uncharted sea. "All a man needs these days," says Prof. McKeever, "to start a matrimonial career is one good American dollar, willing hands." It looks like to see young people start humbly, work hard and go up together." It has the ring of old fashioned romance, this utterance from Kansas. And—perhaps it contains a kernal sense of alert.
And Hope in turn renews his Faith,
His Faith in Self to do and dare;
He seeks his pillow, there to sleep
The sleep that knows no fear and care
The rattling, bustling noise of day No longer smites his weary ears. All but all around is peace and calm- His thots take shape and Hope
And too, that as he journeys on,
His spirits might not fag and fall,
A cricket chirps a song to him,
And from afar the night birds call.
And when the shades of night are rent.
And streams thru them another sum
We find him strong of heart again,
His work already well begun.

Plain Tales From the Hill
Overheard in the School of Fine Arts.
Laura Smith Hamon's affairs have long since been inered out; but we feel aware in predicting that her first 'move' will contain some new wrinkles.
"Can Gladys take high C?" "Not without knocking some of the bars off."
There was once a student named Clave Who studied just like a Slave,
AGAIN, THE $1 HUSBAND
He worked night and day. But it never did pay.
He was put all too soon in his grave
Dr. William A. McKeever is a K. U. man whose original frequency attracts nation-wide comment. Some of his ideas are based upon his ideas, and some of it is the opposite. The following editorial from the Portland Oregonian is based upon a recent statement by Doctor McKeever with which to begin married life.
Only a few years ago nobody that it a serious matter to marry on scant means. Two generations or so ago young people regarded themselves as blest if they had strong arms and willful boards, though they possessed great strength. Both grandparents and grandmothers gave small consideration to such terms as "competence" and "dowry." It was the fashion to mate when love inspired and to count on hard work and mutual sacrifice to carry the couple over the hard places. On the whole, it will be obvious that these matches turned out well.
It happened in Interpretation of the News. The discussion centered around what kind of news ought to go in the book and why the Stillman case was brought up.
"Hob" Curl said: "That stuff's alright for the upper classman to read, but for the sake of our freshmen I do not think we ought to print it."
"What you say goes," he said sadly, with eyes and heart aflaam; She glanced at the clock and turned her head.
And softly whispered his name.
John Shea has a great idea. He is going to put dandelion diggers on the ends of the senior law canes.
Don't kid your instructors. They were kids once themselves.
By comparison with the past, the present is the time of opportunity. Young men never rose so rapidly in the world as they do now, or with less effort. It will be contended by the captions that waries have not advanced in their knowledge and living, but this depends on what are regarded as the necessities of life. It would be easy to prove that a husband's wages nowadays would support any couple who would be satisfied with the kind of fare that our parents paid for food content to go without luxuries, at least until they could afford them. Simplicity of their wants had more to do with their contentment than large earning power. Love in a cottage is traditionally beautiful; love in a log but was once a fact. And log houses are built nowadays as they ever were.
Yet we suppose that the Kansas professor mentions the dollar, not as the actual measure of wealth, but as the symbol of a little less than nowadays' marriage. In spite of the pessimists, dollars are vastly easier to get now than they were in the days we have in mind, and we should think that a young man ought to have at least 10 of them as a guarantee that he has done the lesson that the Kansan probably means to convey that is mutual hardship and self-delicant are worth trying for their spiritual value. There is no evidence that our increasing divorce rate is due primarily to pecuniary difficulties. It seems from the facts that many of these of these tragiedieties that reach the courts, although about every other imaginable reason is alleged. One of the chief causes of so-called incompatibility to want of mutual love are the marriage entered into with no thought of sacrifice on either side should invite unhappiness.
After a long period of inactivity, the Press Club of Georgia School of Technology is to be organized. A pro-communications board and all news that is intended for the outside world will go through on the outside before getting out. The fime-mess before organization was a slandering article appeared recently in the Outlook.
The flight of steps on the north side of North College Hill is wearing out. The ralling has been pulled and there are no signs of the remainder of them are weak.
Anyone walking north on Louisiana Street must cross over this hill or go out of their way by another street. There are no streets where someone has injured because of a missing step.
Dr. A. T. Walker, professor of Latin in the University of Kansas, read a paper before a meeting of the Classical Association of Middle West and South which he attended in St. Louis on March 24, 25 and 28.
TO THE VOTERS
The recent legislature passed a law relating to the salaries of Commissioners in cities of the second class which provides that the Mayor and commissioners may submit to the electors at a regular city election the proclamation of a change in the salary of a Commissioner for their approval or rejection.
The present Commissioner of Streets and Public Utilities, having asked the Mayor and Commission to submit the question: "Shall the salary of the Commission of Streets and Streets Utilities be Eighten by the Dollars, or shall they be commuted" the same will be voted upon at the election o' he held on Tuesday, April 5, 1921.
The reason for the increase is the fact that the commissioner in charge of these departments must devote his entire time to the city in order to properly look after the operation of the activities for which he is directly responsible, and especially time where the city owns its water plant or other utilities.
The law allows the Commission to submit salaries of any amount for the consideration of the voters and, in fixing the salary at $18000.00 per annum in the above question, they desired to be entirely reasonable and fair for the amount of work required in this office.
Your earnest consideration of the above question will be appreciated.
Respectfully submit
W. W. Cleland.

Commissioner of Streets & Public
Utilities.
