UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kansas.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the ideas of his students in the classroom. He Kansas to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals of good conduct. When he beams to be clean; he be cheerful; he chantle; he problematizes; he works with problems to wiser heads in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the city.
Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the department of Journalism.

IGNORING SAFETY FIRST
The "safety first" movement seems to be ignored in Lawrence. Students are permitted, to engage in a sport, coasting, that is filled with danger, and no steps are taken to make them ston.
True, the Mayor and Commissioners have passed ordinances, and have said that traffic will be diverted when coasting is possible. But even with all possible precautions coasting is dangerous, and cannot be made otherwise. There can be no provision for the unforeseen. The past has proved that the unforeseen is likely to happen.
It's up to the city to enact a law absolutely forbidding coasting on the streets. And then the state should provide a safe coasting place on the golf links.
A LITTLE SUGGESTION
According to the reports of the Union pledges turned in to the Kan-san by the Student Council six of the nineteen members of the Council have promised to pay and have paid. The remaining thirteen have neither promised to pay, nor have they paid.
The six are: Victor Bottomly, Russell Gear, Albert Teed, J. C. Greenstreet, Marcellus Stockton, and Frank McCafferty. The thirteen are: Will E. Brown, Bud Ritter, A. E. Creighton, Henry Shinn, Otho Fisk, J. W Dyche, Deane Ackers, Lloyd Jackson, Arthur Stacey, Floyd Nutting, T. J Horsley, Vic LaMer, and Charles Green.
SHOULDER ARMS!
And now they would make soldiers of us. They'd teach us to march, to drill, to be efficient in the business of murdering our fellowmen. They, the advocates of military preparedness, would put drill into every college and university in America. They would get an army of 20,000 at once, and in the course of a few years would have a large and efficient resource. That is the chief argument .
But it has no weight. The governments of Europe have maintained that preparedness in the nth degree makes for peace. The most frightful conflict of all ages attests to the terribleness of the fallacy. It is not, however, within the scope of this paper to discuss militarism, and its attendant evils. They are realized, and the movement to make every student a soldier will never attain any great magnitude.
BLAMING THE FACULTY
Prof. M. W. Sterling is right in his contention that the faculty is unfairly attacked by people who haven't taken the pains to ascertain just exactly what they were talking about. It is all too common for poorly informed or careless students and alumni to make scapegoats of the faculty and give them the blame for everything that goes wrong.
It should be kept in mind that the faculty as such has nothing whatever to do with administration. Their business is teaching, and any other
activity that they may see fit to take up is purely gratuitous. As Professor Sterling says, they can only express their wants individually to the University authorities, and with no certainty of having their suggestions acted upon.
No one would think for a minute of going to the faculty to ask for more lights, more walks, better street car service, nice weather, a clock in the library, or anything whatever in the way of equipment and improvements. Yet there is a disposition to blame them for this lack of any or all of these things. It would be just as logical to blame Uncle Heinie, or the postman, or the telephone girl.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Now this is not a brief for the faculty. It is merely an exhortation to the students and others to play fair. Fear of appearing disrespectful keeps us from quoting the proverb about bad names and hanging, but we trust that our meaning is clear. We are for a square deal for everybody.
They're here at last those coat hooks for the Administration Building. No more will the students be compelled to throw their coats on the floor, or spend an uncomfortable hour sitting on them.
The students are grateful.

SOME STATE SECRETS
"Papa is going to Paris." A humb fell upon the assembly. Soon all London knew that little Prince Edward had told state secrets at the Duchess of Glochester's child party, in the autumn of that year, 1854, Prince Albert paid his visit to Bologne, from which sprang the Alliance between the two countries which is so important to France today.
This story and many more are told in the third volume of "The Life of Benjamin Disraeli, the first two of his sons," *After his death it was feared that the work would be finished in an inferior manner, but George E. Buckle has written the third volume with quite clear information and in a more vivacious style.
The book opens with the downfall of Sir Robert Peel's ministry in 1846 and closes on the Crimean War in 1855. Although most of the material deals with politics, one chapter is devoted entirely to Disraeli's novel "Trancred" in which he glorifies the Hebrew race.
Mr. Buckle neglected certain fact which seem worthy of more extended notice, yet they are offset with incidents of Disraeli's personal life, which gives a clearer idea of his character than could be had from an account of his parliamentary career.
The closing chapter of the volume gives his letters describing the Crimean war and the young men whose lives were plunged in part in many English homes today.

Yea, now is come the Indian summer of the term, the melancholy season when the lagging stude bethinks himself of the thin notebook and the array of "cuts" against him. The near advent of quiz-week alarm hism, the near arrival of a march on his fellows and to "get in good" with his teachers. Forthwith the assistant instructor is greeted with a pleasant "Good morning, professor;" and the state of his health or the degree of his enjoyment during the gladdess holiday time is solicitously inquired by by will; in the hard days, who never learned his name until a few weeks ago.
The wise ones are now asking their instructors what they (the faculty) think of their (the studies) pet idem that the faculty and students ought to get together more and subly hint that they love the professor."
WHEN QUIZZES APPROACH!
Now the melancholy days are here
The saddest days of all the year.
Essays Picked Young
Promises to "get to that back work up." "Inquiries about work offered by the same teachers next term, and asking to a close is by far the best ever taken by the stude in question, are the three most popular methods of getting next to your teacher only before he meets them have there before. Aw, can that work?
Pandora's Box
WE HEREBY RESOLVE
'is not this "mushroom" variety of virtuous people disgusting? The folks who come back with the firm purpose of starting the New Year all fresh and faultless are nearly always the worst; were full of the dickens the next year.
"Mary Pickford's at the movies today," Lucie announces at lunch. "Who's going down with me this afternoon?"
"Can't do it," he answers sorrowfully. "Resolved to start the New Year right, don't you know, and I've cut this out."
"Come on down to Swede's this
weekend and tell your toil to
purl across the table."
"No, it's a week night, and we must go right home from the library to night," the One Girl tells you in firm tones. "I know I've never been very strict about week-night days, but I'm turning over a new leaf," she will add sweetly as she notices your shocked look of amazed surprise.
It wouldn't be so bad if these good people would stick to their good resolutions. But wait until spring comes, and it is too warm to stay indoors to study; away will go these good resolutions to the winds and "prunes and prisms" will be worse than ever because of the long, unusual restriction.
And the whole table gasps as a chorus of "I can’t," "I must study." "I’ve got to go to" Y. W." is sadly echoed.
The Growler
It is to be hoped that the Athletic Board will not permit McCook Field to be used for any horse-taming exhibition. Such a performance, even when absolutely honest and devoid of personal bias, can be extremely sensational, and depends for its popularity on instincts that had much better be left dormant. No one can look at such an exhibitor as you would be worse for it if one way or another.
The nature of the shows that the "professor" has been giving in Lawrence has called forth protests from several townpeople. Some of them call that he is not acting, but call that even then his show was considered represensible. Surely the University will not lend its grounds and its sanction to such an exhibition.
