THURSDAY, MARCH 25,1920 LITERARY EFFORT The awarding of prizes by the Quill Club, in an effort to stimulate literary effort is a step in the right direction for college publications. A more glance at the attempts at literature in some of the standard magazines of today will convince the most doubling that such a stimulation is necessary if the present generation is to leave behind any Edgar Allen Poes, Washington Irvings, or Oliver Wendell Holmes. It remains for the college men and women of the country to get behind a lucrative vocation and secure something more than space fillers to write for the magazines of the country. Great magazines of the country have grown so commercially important that they subordinate good literature for the pecuniary advantages of poorly written advertisements. Of course, advertising has a place in most publications but good literature should come in for its share. If more colleges would offer prizes for short stories, essays and plays the future of literature would not only be placed on a sound footing but it would also assure the future magazine readers of excellent reading matter and would cause a satisfactory progress in literature. WOMEN TO THE POLLS With Delaware's ratification of the Suffrage Amendment, assured by leaders in the legislature, the approval of the thirty-six states necessary for its adoption is secured and woman suffrage ceases to be an issue in the United States. Fifty years of campaigning—the first woman suffrage convention in America was held in 1870—by the National Women's Party and other equal suffrage associations have preceded the final national enfranchise of women. The Anthony Amendment, after an uncertain career in congress, finally passed the senate with the necessary two-thirds majority last June and has been before the state legislature ever since. Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan ratified it first, all on the same day, and Kansas fourth. At present, Georgia, Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Maryland have refused to ratify while Louisiana, Connecticut, Vermont, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Florida have not voted. West Virginia, the thirty-fourth state, ratified March 10, and since then interest of suffragists and their The price of prunes has dropped 25 per cent. What else could we ask now to make the beautiful spring season complete? opponents has been centered on Washington, where ratification took place Monday, and Delaware. The former was practically assured from the beginning but in the latter strong political pressure has been brought to bear. Dispatches state that the opposition did not care to be held responsible for the defeat of the national measure, and perhaps for good reasons. Suffragists had held that responsibility for failure to rattle would be loaded upon the shoulders of the party having the largest negative vote and had threatened reprisals at the poles where women already had the vote. It has been interesting to note, during the past months, the gradual breakdown of opposition to equal suffrage over the country. Politicians, lifelong opponents of woman suffrage, have found themselves facing a large number of women voters and, bowing to the inevitable, have given up opposition and one by one come out in favor of the issue. WOOD PRODUCTS IN INDUSTRY Mach has been said about the print paper situation and the waste of our wood resources in this occupation but the waste of our natural resources in other branches of industries where we are dependent on the wood supply has been neglected. The need for conservation of our forests has been clearly pointed out by the American Forestry Association. The Association has compiled some very interesting and highly instructive figures on the subject. Few people realize the share of our industries or the percentage of our industrial workers who are working in industries where the raw material is supplied from forests. The figures are so huge that perception is difficult. Work is given by the 276,000 manufacturing establishments that use wood in some form or another to cover seven hundred thousand wage earners. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN These manufacturing establishments pay out over one billion dollars annually for raw material. The value of the products made is more than doubled at the hands of the million wage earners in the refinement processes. These figures mean that one person out of every 100 forming a part of the hundred million inhabitants of the United States is a wage earner dependent upon the uninterrupted supply of raw material from the forest. HONOR THE DESERVING Additional elections of famous Americans for the Hall of Fame are to be made this year, in accordance with the rules which provide for an election every five years. Nominations are made by the public at large and will be accepted until May 1. The election will be held in October. The only restriction placed on nominations is that the person suggested must have been dead ten years. The first elections to the Hall of Fame were made in 1000. Since that time there has been an election every five years. In those elections fifty-seven Americans have been honored. This year twenty more are to be added. What has the country to offer to fill these twenty places? The men selected will go down in history along with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Henry W. Longfellow and other names Americans love. At this time when we hear so much about Americanism why not select men who have stood for the principles that we call Americanism? It would be fitting to place the names of these men along with those already selected so that the Hall of Fame could be pointed out to immigrants and teach them what Americans have stood for. Of course, it is an easy matter to find twenty men who have proved their worth to their country, who are big enough men to be entitled to a place. The problem that faces us is to select the twenty out of the multiude that are the most deserving. Zoo Keeper—Please keep your children away from the bear cag, madam!

Among Those Mentioned Edwin E. Slosson, editor of The Independent Magazine, is the only one of the five men being considered for the Chancellorship who is a native Kansei. He was born in Namaha County fifty-five years ago. Edwin E. Slosson Mr. Slissom received his education in Kansas, graduating from the University in 1890 and was elected to both Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Xl. Ht took a position as assistant in chemistry the next year. He remained at the University one year and then went to work with the university's engineering at the western institution he built up the department of chemistry from which one occupied a basement room to one that occupied an entire floor in a warehouse, where he remained at Wyoming for four years. In 1895 Mr. Slosson joined the editorial staff of The Independent of New York. He has been literary editor of the publication since that time. He has written a number of books on education in America, on great philosophers and on chemistry. Since 1912 he was a professor in the Columbia School of Journalism and is a regular lecturer at the Columbia school. Ye Good Old Days The Green Hall Appropriation at chapel exercises on Thursday, February 19, 1903, was unabsorbed what was probably the most vociferous bed- time song ever heard. It was on that day that Uncle Jimmy Green made a brief talk telling of his visit to the legislature at Topaik and of the $5,000 appropriation he gave the University its Law Building. force and led the cheering, which was joined in with enthusiasm nearly great by all the rest of the school. Previous to that time, the home of the School of Law, until recently a department, had been a transitory one, occupying various rooms in Fraser Hall most of the time. The first law classes met where the Alumni Office now is. After the state had decided to move the feeble-minded of Kansas to college, the laws moved in but their stature. "My experience at Topaka, short, was sweet, and I want no more of it." declared Uncle Jimmy in his talk. In spite of the efforts of Dean Green, the full amount asked for was not granted, but was cut nearly in half. The cost of the teubling had been estimated at $80,000, but the appropriation was much lower. This, it was thought, would be enough to give the Law School a fine building The Law Building was constructed during 1943 and 1965 and was dedicated as Green Hall in honor of Dean Green on November 3, 1955. This was just one day more than fourteen years before the death of Elice Jimmy. Campus Opinion ditor, Daily Kansan: onesome, and were viewed by such of their fellow-students as though of the situation at all, much as an archaists, Socialists, "I. W. W. Sho" "Reis," Bolshievets, etc., are viewed by the average student today. "Gray" bewaits the lifelessness of students, their unconcern in the currents of present thought and action. But this is no new thing. In the early nineties when nearly all the people of the Mississippi valley were stirred by the death of their teachers, presented in the farmers' students, the students here were long unconcerned, or were resentfully or languidly anti-reform. The merest hand of students who were members or supporters of and believers in the Farmers' Alliance of day and of the political movement which culminated in the Great Depression, lonesome, and were viewed by such of their fellow-students as though of the situation at all, much as anarchists, Socialists, "L.

I have no fear of what The time is ripe, and rotten ripe for change There was no suggestion of student fervor and enthusiasm such as has characterized students in Europe, for example in 1848 on the continent. There was no passionate outcry for liberty or death, for progress and reform. No embryo Lowell asserted: "We will speak out. we will be hear Though all earth's systems crack. We will not bate a single word Is called for by the instinct of man kind." Even Carruth did not stir them with: "My God, I am weary of waiting for the year of Jubilee. I know that the cycle of man is a moment only with Thee. What the patience of God is like, But the world is weary of waiting. Will it never strike?" They have held me back with their parachute.

The would-be frat man said that his father was a Phi Gam at Princeton, where he worked, which caused his hasty departure from the Oklahoma university town, University of Colorado students, under the guidance of "Silver and Gold", official college paper, are conducting a campaign to raise $500.

The male students of William Jewell College of Liberty, Mo., are suffering from flighty mindedness because of the presence of a few of the fairer sex who have been admitted to their number. They say it is impossible to do good work in a co-educational institution because they simply can't understand their studies with a lot of pretty girls. An informal vote of the faculty favored accepting the girls already in the college, but no others. AVIATION MAIL SERVICE Eager as everybody naturally is to expeliate the transmission of mail and for the development of the science of aviation it seems that the air mail service must still be regarded in the experimental stage. Congress passed a bill for the administration of the House committee on post-offices, stated recently that several accidents have occurred in the air service and large quantities of valuable mail have been destroyed by the burning of the machines. No extra postage is charged for the service so long as the mail is on road transportation is very great. Furthermore no sender of mail can designate whether it should be carried by airplane or not and much complaint has been made of valuable mail lost in machines which were wrecked and burned. On the whole the new system is rather than otherwise—Iola Register. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS For Rent For Sale Lost Found Help Wanted Situation Wanted Telephone K.
