"The wearin' o' the green" today is our way of doing homage to the man who performed that great service for the Emerald lace. But we, as Kansasans, can well attach a deeper significance to the banishment of snakes. In 1879 the state legislature submitted the prohibition amendment which was adopted by the people in a general election the following year, and since that time snakes have been officially outlawed from Kansas. True it is that in certain portions of the state the local authorities have at times been so negligent in the performance of their duties as to allow the sale of the toxicating beverages that make men see snakes, but that time is past. Today in Kansas, as in Ireland the people are not troubled with snakes. So it is that we cannot do honor to the patron saint of old Erin without being thankful to his local representative and late field worker; Carrie A. Nation, who helped drive the snakes from Kansas. UP TO STUDENTS The Student Council and W. S. G. A. will appoint a committee to work out the point system provision soon, and then put up the proposition to the students. The governing bodies realize that the point system will be beneficial and have gone as far as possible in giving it to the students. Then the question of better student government, for the school, better filled offices, and less graft, will be up to the student body itself. A vote for the adoption of the system will be that much toward these desired conditions. The rest remains with the voter. THE YALE SPIRIT The reprint from the Yale Alumni Magazine elsewhere on this page shows the football spirit which has carried Yale to victory so many times and which adopted at Kanaas from the two Yale brothers, Chancellor Frank Strong, and Coach Jack Wheaton, will carry Kansas to championship as it did Yale. You Darwin, how long does it take a solid stream of water that was once a shower bath to evolute back to its original condition again? When it comes to driving snakes out of a country Saint Patrick hasn't much on the Czar of Russia. Baseball will soon have to be regulated along with other public utilities. STUDENT OPINION PANDORA GETS A SLAP Editor of the Kansan: When, oh, when, are you going to stop rubbing it in about the way the girls never thank a man for holding a door open for them? **A** **Arbru** going to give any credit to the girls who do remember their manners? You may not believe it but some of us say "thank you" and smile while we do it, and this will seem like the best thing, but I have actually seen it done—some of us hold a door open when there is a man just behind us, and they don't say then you a bit better than when you know they are probably too surprised. I'll admit that we are a mannerless set on the whole; it is inexcusable when you consider the perfect little gentlemen whom we have to associate with. In they presence, or at least without asking if they might. They always go home at 10:30 o'clock so that we won't get called down by our landlady. Turning on every light in the house when the girl next door is standing on the porch with her date or a woman, will put them right. Really it is easier to tell the things that they would not do than the ones that they would. But won't you please remember we are not all of us bad-manner of a man?

Henry on Slang There existed but one code upon which he might make requisition with promise of safety—the great and potent code of Slang. So, here is the message that slipped unconstrued, through the fingers of curious officials, and came to the eye of Goodwin: Prof. B. W. Bacon, '81, an old friend of Chancellor Strong, of the Yale School of Religion, speaking before the new Berkshire County Yale Association at their dinner. Januarycade made a gift to Professor Corwin's selection as chairman of the University Athletic Committee: "His Nibs skaddled yesterday per jack-rabbit line with all the coin in the kitty and the bundle of muslin he's spoony about. The hoodie is six figures short. Our cowboy snap, he weared donutlucks, but it. The main guy and the dry goods are headed for the briery. You know what to do. Bob." "You have all noticed the withdrawal of our great football strategist from the position of Faculty Advisor, and the accession of Professor Corwin Campbell by the supposition that the nominating committee looked over the list of football captains in the days of 'Dwight Hall athletics,' when we always won, and picked out the man whose team they were on. We can also make ours of last November look like thirty cents. Now 'Bob' Corwin is my brother-in-law, so that I am modest about saying what other qualifications he has to be Walter Camp's successor; but I can be confident that you can judge for yourself what sort of a policy is likely to be apparent. You know our friends the enemy use Yale and Athletics "Tis not a cipher," Billy Keough finally said to Goodwin after carefully perusing the telegram. "To what they call literature, and that's a lot of people that they've never been introduced to by writers of imagination. The magazines invented it, but I never knew before that President Norwin Green wrote his approval. 'Tis now no longer literature, but language. The dictionary tries, but they couldn't make it go for anything but dialect. Sure, now that the Western Union indonesians it, uses it, will spring up that speaks it."—From O. Henry's "Cabbages and kings"; it's in the library. to pay respectfu'—and I must say well-deserved—tributes to 'Yale strategy,' and take it out in consoling laughter at Yale's morale, which was supposed to be founded on prayer-meetings led by the head coach and captain for success in the game of golf. Do we need a team of a disguised graduate on the bowl-mentorship of last November, that 'Havard seemed to have all the Yale spirit,' and Corwin answered: "That's just what's the matter. The brain and the brawn are Yale's all, right, but they couldn't see it." Our opponents knew where the real values were in spite of their talk! I can promise you what Corwin means to work for; and not for the mere sake of beating Harvard 'as our daddies used to do, either. We want the moral qualities of man in athletics in the whole University, if we get that, we can take our ups and downs with equanimity. I won't say I am in favor of prayerymeetings for the success of the team, but I will say it sort of warms the cockles of my heart when I hear about our simple-hearted old 'Dwight Hathletic athletes,' who just couldn't keep athletes out of their prayers. It reminds me of the report of a traveller in Scotland, who in the kirk of a Sunday not far from St. Andrews heard the minister conclude the notice some time ago about our congregation are asked for Sandy McGreegor, because he is off his drive.' Golfers who have struggled with the besting demons of slice and pull will appreciate Sandy's feeling that it was time to appeal to a Higher Power. We feel that sort of thing ought to be ruled out, along with coaching from the side-lines! they feel about it much as the Allies feel about the Kaiser's invocation of celestial reenforcements. All the same, I doubt if there could be better presentation of them for a disguised graduate of prayer and fasting-'Yale Alumni Magazine. FALSE ECONOMY One of the hardest blows Kansas has ever received is the crippling of the educational institutions of Kansas by the present legislature under the pretense of economy, which is not economy at all but petty peanut politics. The men who are clamoring for economic reform must hope that they make a record with which to go before the people in two years, and tell them, "See how much we have saved you in the way of taxes." It is true that this will be accepted by many people who cannot see further than the dollar, but not by true, patriotic Kansans—men and women of progressive ideals in the state and want to see her take the front rank in everything that is good —everything that makes for the advancement of humanity. These patriotic Kansans have always taken pride in our State University, and in our State Normal School at Emporia, and in the great Agricultural College at Manhattan, which, for years, has ranked as the greatest agricultural school in the world. Another feature of this "economy" racket is the willingness—the determination—of these same men to make our charitable institutions suffer, and for the same reason that they are crippling our schools. It is a well-known fact that these institutions of unfortunate must suffer because there is no way in which they can properly be cared for. One of these institutions is the tuberculosis sanitarium, at Norton, which can But our pride must now take a fall because of a band of cheap politicians, who would cripple our enterprises that must make a record effort to "compromise." only accommodate a mere handful of sufferers, while hundreds — yes thousands — must die before a wiser, more humatic, legislature can provide This legislature, as a whole, has humanized the state of Kansas. dumminated to be hoped that the new way of stance—the women—will take this matter to heart, and see to it that the next legislature is composed of enough women members to undo the harm that a bunch of fool "economists" have done us this winner—Garnett Evening Review.
