The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news from the university; to provide varsity holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be fair; to treat others with respect; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve to the students of the University.
THURSDAY, JAN. 10, 1918.
The prohibition forces have seven years to run this country through a clothes wringer.
If the government could just take over the rumors afloat over the country, it would greatly aid in the prosecution of the war.
A professor sent to the Kansan a communication containing this phrase, "alumni, former students, and Faculty." Now, just why should faculty be capitalized?
Chemistry tells us that compounds of iodine are found in tobacco, watercress, ash of seaweeds, cod-liver oil, oysters and sponges. But that's nothing. Some goodness is found in deadbeats, convicts, slackers and perhaps even a minute quantity in the Huns.
CONVOCATION
Yesterday afternoon, every student heard, or had an opportunity to hear, Henry J. Allen, of Wichita, deliver one of the most vivid, forceful, and patriotic addresses that has been heard at the University this year. No attempt will be made to review it here—who could do it justice!—but we do wish to say amen to the message the Kansas orator brought from France.
The committee which was instrumental in bringing Mr. Allen here deserves the thanks of the University. The success of the proposal to bring a speaker to the University every month will be cumulative, for the students know what to expect.
K. U. VERSUS FUNSTON
Welcome to the basketball season! With a good schedule and a good team assured, there is no reason why the year should not be up to the standard in the matter of games and attendance.
Furthermore, the students may attend without the feeling that they are supporting a useless activity. The maintenance of athletics in the schools is not only encouraged, but urged by the government.
So let's all be out for the first game and start the season right. The game with the boys from Camp Funston promises to show the sport at its best, and the proposal to use the proceeds for the benefit of athletics at the camp is worthy of our support.
WAR RECORDS
The University wishes to keep a permanent war record of all its former students and faculty men now in the service. This cannot be done without the co-operation of the students. The University will always take pride in the record of its sons and daughters. Every student who takes part in this war will be proud that his record helps to swell the University's record of service. Every student knows of former students who are in the war. Will you not

help in making the record as complete as possible?
The Kansas will soon begin printing the names of the University men in the service. It is likely that the complete list will include from fifteen hundred to two thousand names. The Committee on War Records asks every student to look over the list and report all the corrections and additions he can and for every organization to see that the record of its alumni is furnished. Do not be afraid of duplicating information.
HISTORY OF SERVICE FLAG
The Service Flings unfurled from homes, offices, stores, and schools throughout the land have come to mean much to this country as a visible sign of the sacrifice her sons are making. An interesting article on the status of the flag is printed in the current issue of the Outlook.
On November 6, 1917, a patent was granted R. L. Queisser, of Cleveland, Ohio, for "a flag with a red border, a white center field, and two blue stars in the field." During the Mexican trouble Mr. Queisser was a captain of a machine gun company, but he has since been mustered out of the service because of an injury received in an accident. When war with Germany was declared he had two sons in the National Guard and he set up to design some smbol by which it might be known that they were away in their country's service. The familiar flag with the red border, the white field and the blue stars is the result. The royalty received by Mr. Queisser on each flag manufactured is said to be fixed at a low figure and one-half of the net profits is set aside for the benefit of the Red Cross.
This is just one of the many times when a private individual has felt and satisfied a national want before the government awoke to the situation. There is opposition developing, however, to the private monopoly of the Service Flag.

Your Daily Quiz On University History
Question: Who was the first student enrolled in the University of Kansas?
Answer: Lillian Ross, a daughter of James A. Rose, who at one time governor of New Mexico. Miss Ross was first enrolled in September, 1868. Her photograph shows that she pasted her hair a gool deal as it is done now, but she did not omit her collar, because it probably wasn't done in those days. The collar was lineed with a chin with a big painted brooch. She is now living in Lawrence at 1101 Louisanna. Her name is Mrs. George Leis, and she is the mother of six children, of whom one son is in the service.

POET'S CORNER
The brown lads, the brave lads go
marching down the street.
The Marching Men By Harry Kemy
It sets one's head a whirling,—the motion of their feet!
As down the street, down the street the marching soldiers go.
Their legs go swinging, swinging, in row on rythmic row,
They are stepping, stepping, stepping.
That soon must burst in thunder.
The Kaiser, O, the Kaiser, if he had seen this hour
When first he dreamed a vanquish-
based world lay sprawling beneath
Had taken thought, had taken,
thought, and then had passed
away.
Before he roused the valor of all these marching men!
LOOKING AFTER COLLEGE.MEN
Even though their sons be in momentary danger on the battle lines in France there is a grain of comfort for anxious parents if they can feel that they are within cable touch of their loved ones. Through the University Union in Paris, the families of college boys at the front can receive within twenty-four hours detailed stagnations of the condition of their sons should their names appear in the list of "casualties."
Not long ago two young Princeton under-graduates, serving as ambulance drivers, were wounded. The fact the bare fact—was at once capped to their parents in America. Followed an example of the activity of the University Union. Eager for more details the parents of the wounded lads immediately cabled to Dr. Paul V丹Yoke, of the union, brother of the recent United States Ambassador to Holland. Dr. Van Dyke at once jumped into a taxi, raced to the hospital to which the boys had been removed, and six hours later—before the wounded lads had been in the hospital twenty-four hours—their parents had received all the facts by cable—Literary Digest.
"Let me see some of your black kid gloves," said a lady to a clerk. "These are not the latest style, are they?" she asked, when the gloves were old, "madam." replied the clerk; "we had them in stock only two days."
Nothing makes me so mad as for a man to ask me for an opinion, and do exactly the contrary of what I recommend.—Ed Howe.
Were every people on the earth able to express their will there would be no wars of aggression, and if there were no wars of aggression then there would be no wars, and lasting peace would come to this earth. The only way that a people can express their will is through democratic institutions. Therefore, when the world is made safe for democracy, when that great principle prevails, universal peace will be an accomplished fact.-Robert Lansing.
The Deserted Cemetery
"I didn't think they were, because the fashion paper says black kids have tan stitches but not the vice versa."
The clerk explained that vice versa was French for seven buttons; so she bought three pairs.—Household Words.

There must be some spirit from the other world which pervades the little, silent grave-yard south-west of Lawrence, for the moment you pass into its quiet peaceful domain you lose the spirit of the world from which you grew up to live among those who lie buried among the little mounds before you.
What's Plymouth—ask any old-timer—Adv.
It is the spirit of danger and peril, heroism and death which haunts the little half-acre of silence. You do not know what gives you the feeling that those who lie buried here have known strife and bloodshed until you glance again at the obituaries carved into the crooked blocks of Kansas rock-chalk which serve as headstones. Some bear the tell-tale dates of '63 and '64. Under these headstones lie heroes from the North who fought the desperate battles waged upon Kansas soil. Under these stones rest the boys in blue who met death so far home from. If you cared to part the entanglements of brush and matted grass which cling to the rude little monuments you might read the short life history of him who lies beneath. Upon each stone is carved the outline of a shield which bears a brief inscription. There were men from Companies A, C, D, and F of the 13th Wisconsin Infantry. One larger stone lying flat across the grave is inscribed: "S.gt. D. H. Whittlesey, of the 13th Wisconsin Infantry."
Standing a few yards from the graves is a rude monument about twelve feet high, bearing a copper plate on which are the words: "To the Unknown Dead Union Soldiers of the Civil War." This is the pitiful part of it all; to think of the brave boys who fought and died—unknown.
As you pass further into the little cemetery you come to another section whose gravestones also bear historic inscriptions—"Killed in the Quantrell Raid, Lawrence, Aug. 13, 1863." There are several of these and as you stand

gazing down at the unkempt, sunken graves, you shoulder at the very thought of that stirring day, long age when the Quantrell gang rode into Lawrence dealing out death and destruction to all in its path.
But to go back even earlier than this: Under a drooping evergreen tree lies a flat stone. As the accumulated mud and dirt is removed, the carved words appear, taking us back to the days when Kansas was yet a territory; when Kansas was named, Sennett, Mass.; July 12, 1825, Died in Lawrence, K.; M. Tav, 1824, 1856."
Another of the early period bears words of interest and of historic value. "Daniel G. Buffum, Born, Salem, Mass, Nov. 18, 1822. Died near Lawrence, Kansas, Sept. 17, 1856." His death although a great loss to his friends and to the community has been a great gain to the cause of freedom. He was devoted to the cause for which he suffered. Nov. 11 words were: "I am willing to die for the cause of freedom in Kansas."
These are the few which are left in the little deserted cemetery. Very many of the bodies have been removed to other burial places and those which remain are neglected and forgotten, long hidden in the obscure little cemetery, no longer used and seldom visited. The neglect and decay to which their graves have been subjected is pitiable. In most homes home who sent their boys to war know where they fell or where their grave is located.
And the unknown—who were they? Were they but boys grown old in the face of battle? Their spirits haunt the little cemetery and it is the spirit of youth and bravery.
