Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones, Bell K, U 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University, and further than merely printing the news by standing for it. We want that the news be able to play no fancy role to be clean; to be cheerful; to be cheerful to courageous students have more serious needs to wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 1917 Poor Richard Says: Poor Reason 349: Continual dropping wears away wire THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE "Our object now, as then, is to vindicate the principles of peace and the justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power and to set up amongst the really free and self governed people of the world such a concert of purpose and of action as will henceforth insure the observance of these principles. Neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples, and the menace to that peace and freedom lies in the existence of autocratic governments backed by organized force which is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of their people. "We are accepting this challenge of hostile purpose because we know that in such a government, following such methods, we can never have a friend; and that in the presence of its organized power, always lying in wait to accomplish we know not what purpose, there can be no assured security for the democratic governments of the world." The above paragraphs from the president's message are epoch making. In 1777 a declaration of independence was made for a little narrow strip of country. This was the prologue. The declaration made last night may be the epilogue of the one made almost one and one-half centuries ago, for it is a declaration of world independence for peace and freedom from an autocratic government. It would be about as easy to force the freshmen to wear their caps without the use of a paddle as it is for a nation to force another nation to follow international customs without the use of an army or navy. LOYALTY DAY Thursday is loyalty day. Much of the success of the day in Lawrence depends upon the interest shown by the University students. Were you planning upon having your bag packed and ready to leave town at the sound of the 12:20 whistle Thursday noon? If so, send a card to the folks at home that you can't leave Thursday noon for you are going to help show the nation that the University along with Lawrence and Kansas is thoroughly patriotic. You might add that you'll leave in time to help Home Town show its loyalty for it will be expecting something of you too. Don't disappoint 'em. Be loyal to your country, your University and to the chancellor by remaining in Lawrence Thursday afternoon to show your patriotism. On the day of enrollment one hears students suggest various means by which the process of enrollment might be improved. The committee on enrollment has invited students or organizations to send in suggestions for improvements. Here is an opportunity for some bright person or persons to make enrollment day easier for faculty and students next September. "Is that somebody you?" It has been demonstrated that students while at home during vacation are willing and unfiring workers for the good of K. U. Perhaps only a few words to those with whom we meet during the Easter holidays about the School of Fine Arts will help "remove the impression that the School will be in its present quarters for many years." UNIVERSAL LIBERTY From President Wilson's war message: "It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful country into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilization itself seem to be in the balance; but the right is more precious than the wrong. The things which we have always carried nearest our hearts for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal dominion of right by force, for the power shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free. To such a task we can dedicate our lives and our fortunes, everything that we are and everything that we have, with the pride of those who know America and with the freedom America has been privileged to spend her blood and her might for the principles that gave her birth and happiness and the peace which she has treasured."

In one of the pockets he found a note from some fair maid who frankly asked whoever bought the suit to write to her. The young man, being single, wrote the maid a rather affectionate letter. A few days ago he received an answer, short and to the point. "Don't write any more letters to me. I have been married ten years if my husband finds out that you are writing to me there will be trouble. And now, dear son, for if your age is 22, I want to tell you that I am old enough to be your mother. I put that note in your pocket when I was young and frivolous, more than fifteen years ago." -Spring Hill New Era.

City Manager Interests Cities The monthly report of the Municipal Reference Bureau of the municipal extension Service was made of inquiries from Kansas cities of the second third class concerning the city manager plan. Freshmen can testify to the approach of apring. The front yard of almost every fraternity house is being raked and cleaned. Perhaps there is real joy in this for the freshman, it varies the monotony of beating rugs and cleaning floors, and "anything for a change." City Manager Interests Cities A Chinese typewriter has 4,200 characters. The young woman who recently employed, the assistance of an editor in finding the "Q" on her book, thanked she recentr that she was not brought up to be a Chinawoman.

I asked a foreign-looking man, And he replied, quite proudly, too: "Ich bin einoot Amerigan." Still farther on I chanced to see a swarthy man, who stood alone. "Da nationale?" responded he, "that one." I met another down the street, Who answered with a cheerful grin When I my question did repeat, "Be bois, and O'im Amarikan." A TIME TO THINK —Texan. Man in the process of evolution has got rid of his fur, or feathers, and every day he must put on something to take the place of fur, and every night he must take off the artificial clothing. "I goods da Amarigone." Texan There is apparently no greater waste of time than the time that is spent in doing something. Bathing, shaving for men and powdering your nose for women, finding what you want to wear. To dress it—it is a tiresome part of every day. The hours in which a human being grows and develops mentally are the gullies. But- And a great many of us are practically never alone, except when we are with others. When we are with others we listen, learn, participate, and debate, but we prefer to avoid them. Sleep is a time of idleness—no growth there. The one thing that makes you more or less a man is the last year is intermittent thought. Why not say to yourself: Since I must spend at least 330 hours a year in dressing and undressing, in bathing and shaving and looking for my collar button, I'll also spend that time in thinking. Do you know how many men spend 100 hours a year in actual concentration? Suppose you see what you can make out of the hours lost in putting on and taking off the artificial fur and skin of a dog. What do you think in the thinking—Chicago American. Not one in a thousand. Do you realize the small cost of life insurance?
