UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kansas.
Phone. Bee' K. U. 25
Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the university of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the name of Kansas; to give the University hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, and to qualify the students of the University.

SUCCOR FOR AN INFANT!
If it be true that one of the chief objections to college athletics lies in the fact that too few students participate, Manager Hamilton and the athletic authorities should do all in their power to support the Hash House League, a re-organization of which will soon be made.
With sixteen teams, about 200 men are made active participants in athletics, playing two games a week, and spending considerable time in practice. Many of these men are Engineers, upon whom Gym work is not compulsory after the first year.
Last year the League was shifted about from post to pillar. It got a place to play when no one else cared to use the grounds. It furnished its own equipment. Many of the game were of necessity played at Woodland Park.
The fact that the organization is an extra-University activity, administering its own affairs, should make it none the less deserving of University support. During the first two years of the average student's college career he is made to indulge in gymnastics whether he will or no. Instructors, comfortable equipment, lockers, shower baths; everything is provided. If, in his last two years, he chooses of his own volition, to engage in a sport that will do him more good than Gym ever would (because he isn't working under compulsion) is there any reason why the Athletic Association should not give a little support? True, the league is not all-inclusive, but entrance to it is unrestricted.
The Athletic Association has sufficient money. The League is sufficiently well-organized to be permanent and subject to direction. Should not it have a little help—possibly balls for the game, cups for the winners, and grounds when wanted. A little assistance will make the League more permanent, and heighten the interest in the games.
WEATHER
After a long and painful period fit only for hibernating, the season approaches when we begin to have weather. Mr. Heinz's celebrated 57 varieties are not a circumstance to the pleasing assortment of climatic phenomena visible in Kansas at this time. Mortal typewriter cannot begin to describe it, but can only write a few of the most conspicuous details. A noteworthy feature of this weather is the deceptiveness of its appearance. You are awakened in the morning by the sunlight streaming into your room. You hear the little birds singing and, almost see
one buds swelling on the trees "What a fine large warm day!" you exclaim in delight, as you leap out of bed and begin to array yourself in garments suitable to the beautiful spring. After breakfast you put on your lightest wrap and sally forth into the sunshine, only to be greeted by a howling blast with a temperature of 46 degrees Fahrenheit. The whistle has blown and you cannot tarry, so you run up the Hill in a vain effort to get warm. When you get out of class you find that it has begun to snow.
Two or three days later you over sleep because it is cloudy and the rising sun did not wake you. It looks cold and gloomy outside, and you put on all the clothes you have before venturing outdoors. Before you've gone half a block you are puffing and panting and mopping your heated brow. You come home at noon, change into lighter clothing—and get caught in the rain at 2:30. The rain freezes, and for a few days climbing the Hill has all the thrills of crossing the Alps. Potter, Lake begins to look good. You go skating and find that your skates have as much edge as a piece of custard pie. You have them sharpened, and the weather turns warm. Truly there is nothing monotonous about the climate of Kansas.
But let us not seem to carp an complain. Where else in these United States, outside of California, and Florida, could you go on a picnic on Lincoln's birthday, and have to sit in the shade of a leafless tree to keep from getting too warm? That very thing was done here last week. Where else, we ask to know, can you entertain your guests with tennis, skating, boating, and sleighing, all in the same week? We pause for reply. Not hearing any, we submit the proposition that our weather is not only unique, individual, variegated, distinctive, and non-commonplace in the world, but is also the most delightful, inspiring, and salubrious. Anyone who has lived a year in Kansas can ever be affected by such trifles as earthquakes, volcanoes, cloudbursts, or presidential elections. He has survived worse, and life has no terrors for him. Certainly we owe a great deal to our weather.

Innes, Bulleine & Hackman is one of the Daily Kansan advertisers. Last week one of the Kansan's collectors, a new one, was making the rounds gathering in the money that makes the paper go. Among other bills he had sold to people who sent him the receipt for Griggs. Then asked, "Where will I find this man Innes Bulleine, the hackman, runs a livery stable round here somewhere?"

One can think of all kinds of headlines that would go better than those about the war. For instance:
"Rollingstone, Passion."
Cement filling for decayed teeth of war horses is now a recognized munition of war. The new profession of horse dentists might be the one that college graduates whom a recent writer said were not able to earn a living.

Kansas Press Comment
W. Y. Morgan: Real economy consists in getting the worth of the money for the amount spent. Every employee of the state should be required to give a dollar's service for every dollar he receives. Every building should be properly put up and make sure of after it is erected. It is false of economy to save by cutting down on state institutions which are doing a great work and to increase the expenses at every other turn of the road.
Chanute Tribune: Economy in state appropriations can not be too highly recommended, if it is the right kind of economy. There is no question but by the abolishment of useless bills and the consolidation of others, along the line being advocated by G.vernor Capper. For the legislature, however, to save the state money by crippling the state education system, it is to pound foolish economy, and it is to be hoped that the present legislature will not indulge in this kind of an economical policy. The state that is generous to its educational interests is the state that makes the most of opportunities and in doing that it puts into practice the finest kind of economy.

THE STUDENT RELIGIOUS FED ERATION
The Student Religious Federation was organized for the specific purpose of securing greater co-operation among the various bodies through a central body. Each organization is entitled to two representatives who meet in a General Assembly on the last Monday night of each month to discuss the larger aspects of the organization and plan for the united action of all the organizations represented and to point to each organization methods by which it may correlate its own particular activities with those of the religios bodies as a whole.
-W. E. HENLEY.
The Federation was organized in May, 1914, by a committee representing the different organizations. It was at first proposed to organize a General Religious Union, but the committee believed that the function of the organization could best be performed by working together, organized, and hence the federal plan was adopted. By this means tasks can be accomplished which, because they belong specifically to no one group, are neglected by all. Also, by the federal plan each group is made to feel

With the state university school of journalism keyed to this plan of service of the 700 papers of the state, as reported in the newspaper, repertorial, editorial and managerial positions, it is not surprising, when the school now arranges for conferences on journalism, that they come up with a hardened necessity as to the wisdom of a state that appeals to taxpayers for funds with which to maintain

the importance of its work, not for the maintenance of its own life and furtherance of its own interests, but an organic part of a general movement.
An illustration will make clear the nature of the work undertaken by the Federation, and the method by which it is accomplished. Last spring a number of insinulations against the moral status of student life at K. U. culminated in the hiring of Roth, of Phillips University, a Disciples学班 at Enid, Okla. The Disciples of Christ Union, being the denominational organization involved, passed resolutions of protest. But the Federation felt that these charges which were being broadcast over the state should be met by a publication of the facts regarding the moral life at K. U. Action took place to question the action of the Daily Kansan Board, the Federation published the Religious Edition of the Kansan of May 27, 1914, to which as wide circulation was given as had previously been given to the charges against the University. It is thus that the Federation seeks to make the religious influence of each organization felt, not only throughout the University, but throughout the state, was to compiling those things which lie beyond the scope and power of the individual organizations, but which are vital to the life of all.
A SERVICEABLE SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM
In 1912, 82 per cent of the property of newspapers in the state of Kansas was mortgaged. As elsewhere in predominantly rural regions Kansas' country papers were not conspicuous for their efficient management as being common among the yearly force by the state university department of journalism had shown that the average country editor worked fifteen hours a day, seven days a week, for a net weekly income of $15; and that he spent most of his time in soliciting job work and advertising, setting type and running presses. Impressed with facts like the journal's information, the journalist has made it its business to serve the country editor, as well as the student fitting himself for the calling of journalism; and a recent summary of the service is now rendering, made by the head of the school, is interesting. For it shows how swiftly and practically the special and medical services have been met. The school now furnishes cost systems and latest record blanks, and aids in installing an efficient system of accounting. It acts as arbitrator in disputes arising from printing done. It acts as a clearing house or agency bringing together sellers and buyers of newspapers. It publishes a monthly newspaper with technical problems of printing, publishing and editing are discussed. It counsels as to so-called foreign advertising and saves publishers from accepting much business for which they never would get pay, or if they did, that would make them party to deception of their readers. Such unauthorized access to the paper of $120,000 was rejected by rural editors in Kansas last year.
this form of educational activity. Where the journalist and his calling get this form of recognition they require high efficiency, character and ideal aims. Consequently Kansas is one of the few states where journalism has a formally defined code of ethics to them—their job is to ensure they can—Christian Science Monitor.
