DELIVER AND BE DELIVERED
Have you a little SALVAGE BASKET in your home?
The corporation, commig west to grow up yith the country, has arrived at K. U. this week. The Senior Engineer's Voting Trust, which is essentially the amalgamated strength of oil space used in the Jayhawkter to portrait countenances engineering; in fraternity, society, or otherwise, has organized with the avowed intention of securing a monopoly on beauty selection.
Already this corporation, controlling perhaps twenty thousand votes, has forced the would be "Kansas Girls" to appear in review before them. Members of the organization appeared on the campus Thursday propelling tags bearing this appeal, "Get on the Band Wagon—Senior Engineers' Voting Trust." The trust will not cast it's votes until the eleventh hour.
The twenty thousand votes at stake will make a decisive victory for the favored contestant, but the trust spirit is diametrically opposite the spirit of the contest. There should be an absolutely fair field and no favor. Trusts do not grow in fair fields, and it is against their nature to play fifty-fifty.
This is nothing more nor less than a combination in restraint of competition; a wholesale delivery by a ward boss of an unintelligently pooled electorate who has been led to yield up their individual measures of power by skilful manipulating on the part of the few, and who are blinded by the dazzling novelty of an engineer's trust and its tremendous power.
There are no mitigating degrees of breaking and entering and larceny. There is no gentler word than common thief for the man who commits the crime.

THE MUCKER
If any college students have the idea that their peculiar place in the social scheme privileges them to make depredations and call them escapades, to break locks and steal and call it amusing mischief, it is about time they enlarged their perspective, studied the statutes of Kansas, and felt the punitive power of both those statutes and the ethics of ordinary decent people.
The gutter snipe goes to the police station and gets mugged and jugged for his sneak-thief tricks. If the man who stole fifty dollars worth of photography from Spooner Hall Wednesday night were mugged there would be a revelation.
He would look as low and cheap
and swishin as the vlest mucker ever hauled in. He would look depraved, perverted—unsafe to be among other people, necessarily to be restrained and put away from society both for society's good and his. He would crawl and whine and snivle when he saw what was coming to him.
A mucker. That's the word. That man would steal the name plate from his mother's coffin for the sake of the silver in it.
MAKING A RECORD
Some records ought to be broken. For instance, the submarine toll, the tenure of office of some senators, and the death rate. More to immediate concerns, the habit of Missouri of beating up University of Kansas track teams.
Tonight the Jayhawkers go into the annual classic in Convention Hall with thirteen final scores out of fourteen chalked up against the University of Kansas. Kansas won the meet by one point in 1913. Since then Kansas has lost only when the Tigers nosed out a victory in the relay—the final event—with the exception of the year 1914. This effort consistently put up in spite of defeats speaks well of the strenuous effort the Jayhawker team has made to win the meet.
Two years ago, Kansas seemed to have the pendulum swing, but again the meet had to be decided by the fateful relay and it took the final runner to decide this event. When Rockey and Pittam crossed the line, the Kansas runner was so close behind Pittam that light could not be seen between the two straining runners. This finish is typical of the closeness of the events in Missouri-Kansas meets.
The kind of men such efforts have made are found in the army and navy today. The American spirit which calls for a winning team has developed these men so that they are now standing the test of war. This same spirit which made a winning team in college now belongs to the army and navy and is making these two defenses of the nation what they are to day.
The generous rivalry of these yearly track meets makes the sport keener in all of its phases. It matches muscle against muscle and skill against skill. These younger athletes tonight stand for the University of Kansas. They are chosen champions. In this way youth builds manhood and responsibility. Men thus made are coming to the front now that the guns have begun to shoot.
We are young—but we are learning in this wholesome manner what it is to be whole men. How an American college athlete showed what this training means is told in the following dispatch from France:
"One American captain rallied men with rifles and machine guns and went through the American wire entanglements into No Man's Land and there waited for the enemy, whom he expected to be driven out by his comrades in the trenches. He was right, for soon groups of the enemy started back through the wire entanglements. The Americans poured in a deadly fire, but unfortunately the captain was killed in the fight."
The press dispatch ends: "He was last seen alive kneeling beside a spitting machine gun and blazing away with his automatic pistol."
This is the last page of the life of Harold Eadie, Dartmouth college junior outfielder of the college baseball team and quarterback of the football eleven. He was the sort of athlete against whom opposing players liked to compete. He always fought to the last second of play.
Already there is one regular from last year's track team from the University of Kansas in France serving with the Americans. Others are on their way and many other are in training to go across. Our heroes they shall always be. Athletics have developed them in such a manner that they know how best to serve their
country, which means he is the younger men in college are getting ready for "over there." A little healthy hero worship won't do any harm. It will do him who feels it, the good he needs in this hour.
