MARCHING ON
He never would have made a learned honorary society. He might have had to chew hard on many printed pages to maintain eligibility long enough to get a long deserved letter in athletics. But the School of Engineering intended to graduate him a real engineer in 1919 and Coach Olcott said he was the finest type of American football player he ever saw.
And now Buck Seward that K. U.
knew so well and loved so much,
Lieut. Charles Seward that the army
of his country saluted...has joined
the hosts that forevermore are
marching on. He gave his smiling
youth, his strength of body, and
mind, and will, and character to the
greatest cause of the world today.
He did not fear. He did not hate.
He simply gave all that was in him
to be given.
The old University will remember him. For he is living still, just as are her other sons whose names have gone on the Honor Roll, just as all sons in the Army of the Royal are living on. Their eyes have seen the glory. Verily their souls are marching on!
THE THING—NOT THE MAN
ing of your votes to make them count,
you folks of ours who are carrying
the responsibility of governing us all
well, the responsibility this University is making us ready for, this is
just to let you know that we are
thinking of you and what you are
doing that is good. This is just to let
you know that we are conscious of
what we have got to do some day and
want to do right. This is what we
want you to expect of us when we
come home to you to take the place
of work and duty and obligation to
the community you will assign us and
would or in
And this is what we are thinking this is what we are hoping. Let the influence of the electorate, its solid majority support in the coming elections be for the thing to be attained—and not stop with man or party The national parties should have little or nothing to do with local government; they have nothing to do with the real final solution of local problems and the actual fulfilment of local needs. That is, they don't all parties. You know they don't.
Quite incidentally a man of one party or another, or one man or another regardless of many a personal peculiarity—produces the realization of a community end, gets something done. The fact that a man is a Republican or a Democrat neither qualifies him nor disqualifies him for holding local office. Nor does the fact that he is a hale fellow well met and a "friend" of yours in itself
qualify him for office. All this is by the way and might be true, but it is the thing he stands for, the thing he will convincingly pledge himself to do, the specific projects he will and can initiate and work for and accomplish, this is his one big, exclusive qualification for local office. It overshadows all else that might be just contributory to any candidacy. It is genuine.
Elections are no longer regarded as chances to hand rewards to old "friends.' They are in spite of political machines which exist as a burden on the community and which exact cost of upkeep indirectly from the community. Their indirect way is expensive too—payments of political debts coming too often in appointments of good party-workers but inefficient office-holders. Election now is something altogether different.
Elections are opportunities for an intelligent, alert electorate to support and with its first and last power of free citizenship fight for the things for the best electors of a given community, county, state—and at stated times for national issues. Work for the thing; let the man be the incidental means to the end; and let the party lines up go hang.

THE GUN OF GOBAIN
The gun in the forest of Gobain speaks eloquently of Germany. Its voice is Germany's voice. Its works are Germany's works.
Each time the gun in the forest speaks it carries Germany's message to all the world. It is a super-gun. It is the highest development, in terms of man-killing machinery, of Germany's patient years of specialization. It is a gun of seemingly impossible power. Germany is a nation drilled and specialized to a point of seemingly impossible military power
The shells that the forest gun hurls into Paris are thrown so high that they pass beyond the atmosphere of the earth. There has been war in the clouds, war in the air high above the clouds; but never before has war reached above the air. Such a gun rather aptly expresses German ambition.
Most distinctly the gun of Gobain expresses German malignity. Shells burled seventy-six miles into a defenseless city do not advance the German cause in the war. They destroy a few buildings, kill a few non-combatants. But by any practical standard they must be measured as useless. They are utterly devoid of military value as the bombs dropped by Zeppeliners and airplanes on the open towns of France and England. Ingenuity, malignity and childishness are the German traits illuminated by the Gobain cannon. It bespeaks the ingenuity of a studious people that has concentrated its brain power on working evil; it bespeaks the heartless cruelty of a nation inspired by a fury of hate against all the rest of the world; it bespeaks the childishness of a race that delights in such a ghastly and costly toy.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Von Hindenburg has sworn to reach Paris if it takes a million Germans. Since he has already lost 300, 000 men, it is safe to say that he is at least three-tenths aus gespei-
He was known as a perfect gentleman. He wanted to sit while he rode on the street car to class. Accordingly he rushed past the crowd of women trying to get on the car and got a seat. There were other men who waited to get on the car, but he—

A Few Words With Him
The Philologist
"So you know a man named 'Palefrey,'" said the Philologist. "That is no more remarkable than 'Colt' or 'Ross,' which also means 'horse,' and much less so than 'Oliphant,' which means 'elephant.'
Every Day
"Oh no, the origin of family names is usually not obscure. In fact names are very simple. When communities were small, there would be only one Peter in town, and he needed no further distinctive appellation. When at length a second Peter did appear and it was necessary to tell them apart, each would get an extra name. These were derived in one of four ways:
"First: He could be distinguished by his father's name. The son of William would be called Williamson, Wilson, Wills, Wills, Billson, or Ellis.
"Second: He could be distinguished by his trade and be: Peter Baker, Potter, Weaver, Carter, etc.
"Third: He could be distinguished by his home, either the place where he lived; Wood, Hill, Dale, Ford, Longstreet, etc.; or by something on his place such as: Whitehouse, Stone, Elms, Snooks (meaning "Seven) or by his native town or country; London, Ireland, French, English, etc.
Those are your four classes," the Philologist checked them off with an inky fore-finger: "Patronymics, Trade, Place, and Nicknames.
"Fourth: They simply gave him a nickname such as Voyage. Long, Short Wings."
Outside of these there are only artificial names such as those inflicted on' the German Jews at the time of WWII. The census as a delicate piece of Jupiter
"Yes, names are very simple. If you run across any interesting ones, drop in any time.

IN MEMORIAM TO THE ASTUTE
PEDAGOGUE
(Exurgated)
By R. A. Smith
Come my dears, and seek to learn
A lesson of pure delight
Concerning one unholly prof.
You ought to know on sight.
Jon my chamber portal
he midnight came a*call*
answered—twas an angel
Who watches over all.
"Of all the people on the earth
This man I loved the least"
— Thus the soothing message ran
And raised my hope like yeast.
"The teacher, reacher, dunkorook
Last night did cross the shore"—
And then I looked again and hoped
My guest would speak some more.
But the shining image there grew silent.
"Upon the throne you say he sits?" Again I sought to ast— "Oh, yes, he's leader there— And he has put me last!"
And to my sad demand Answered that the man I hated Was safe in the Holy Land.
"Must be a mistake in judgment I replied with questioning look; "No chance," declared the angel as he showed his clean, pure book.
He locked the gates with iron,
But that prof. he used a file;
He bound the bum with fetters—
That made the old cusm smile.
Concerning his arrival
The angel told me more—
How he tried to bar the scalawag
From heaven's golden shore.
As he left my chamber door
That the prof. sure cleaned things up
Along the heavenly shore.
Judge—"Did you hit this man in the excess of irasibility?"
And the angel said with trembling voice
By the way, doesn't it say something in the Bible about "a dinner of Herb's?"—Ladies Home Journal.
Colored Man—"No, suh. I done hit him in de jaw." —Awgwan.
At Oxford a boating graduate in his examination for ordination was asked:

"How many persons are there in the Trinity?"
He promptly replied: "Four and the coxswain!" — Christian Register.

Watch!!!
DEVO—a proven, whirlwind success—has been followed by a host of imitations. They are offered in a similar shape and color and labels and names suggestive of the BEVO bottle's embellishments.
But you don't taste the package—it is the contents you must depend upon for enjoyment. Beware of these various just-as-goods—don't identify BEVO by the shape of the bottle alone.
Look !!
Look for the Seal
Certain identification marks protect you against theft. The product, remember, but attempted rescuers are not in charge of the bottles similar to that of the new succulent. The genuine—have the boise opened before opening—will be protected.
Look for the Seal
See that it is unbroken; covers the Crown Top, and that the Crown Top is raised.
Because the Battle has this look.
Listen!
BEVO is also healthy— the choice cereals and Saarer hops from which it is made make it so—and you will find its refreshing quality when you eat it. Unlike a soft drink, any one you ever tasted in a soft drink
BEVO is a pure drink. Which means more than that it contains pure ingredients—means not just water, but suspect soda milk or water of containing sugars or other substances. All bottles—in always absolutely free from

A New Fighting Weapon— Advertising!
ENGLISH commercialism discovered an effective fighting weapon at the beginning of our World War, and by its application to business, it was able to ward off the perils of panic and depression.
This new fighting weapon was **advertising!**
As one prominent advertising man said: "A study of advertising conditions in England during the past three years proves that even in the throes of the mightiest war in all history, which would seem to command all her energies, she is forging ahead in her vast business enterprises."
