Phone, Bell K. U. 25 Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas.
Entered as second class mall matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879.
The Daily Kaman atom is picture the picture of Kanan's school. Kanan is go to further than merely printing new books; she holds the books in play with no favorites; she be clean; to be cheerful; to have serious problems to water heads; in all, to serve the university; ability the students of the University.

CRITICS AND CRITICS
Criticisms are of two kinds, constructive and destructive. One class of critics seeks to help, the other merely finds fault, without offering any remedy. To the latter class belong the great majority of the communicants to the Kansas City Star.
Were they really interested to any great extent in the University they would not attack it through the columns of a newspaper that reaches half a million people. The University has been done harm that it will take a long time to undo. Even if conditions were as bad as painted, the knocks in the Star are inexcusable.
SO THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW
The 1915 Jayhawker management is taking the wise course in confiding in the students. The average student understands but little of the publishing business and is often wont to wonder where the fees go. The Jayhawker manager and editor are doing their best to make thing open and they should profit because of their course.
A county club central committee is to be formed, and a spirited campaign for the mill tax will be carried on under its direction until after the measure has been before the legislature. If the county clubs will do as much work under the direction of the central organization as they have individually, the amendment will come before the people at the next election.
Pledges for the Red and White Crosses are payable now at the office of the Registrar. The big majority have been paid, but there are still a few unpaid. The need in Belgium is imperative, as the daily papers testify. Pay now.
An interesting light is thrown on the policies of a certain large daily paper by its refusal to print communications giving the other side of a question that it has been actively aritigating. It is hardly fair, to say the very least.
Lots of pop marks the beginning of the inter-class football series. Material for next year's Varsity is likely to be developed, for some of the class warriors are showing excellent form.
DEMOCRACY IN THE COLLEGE
Wilson's reply to his critics, poured out before a gathering of Pittsburg alumni at the height of the graduate school controversy is worth wondering over:
You can't spend four years at all of our modern universities without getting in your thought the conviction which is most dangerous to America—namely, that you must treat with certain influences which now dominate in the commercial undertakings of the country.
The great voice of America does not come from seats of learning. It comes in a murmur from the back of an office and factories and the mulls, rolling on and
gaining volume until it comes to us from the homes of common men. Do these murmurs echo in the corridors of universities. I have not the right to wonder.
The universities would make men forget their common origins, forget their universal sympathies, and join with no class ever can serve America.
I have dedicated every power that there is within me to bring the colleges that I have anything to do with to an absolutely democratic regeneration in spirit, and I shall not be satisfied—and I hope you will not be—until America shall know that the men in the college are aware of their responsibility and the same sympathy, that pulses through the whole body politic.
I know that the colleges of this country must be reconstructed from top to bottom, and I know that America is going to demand it. But since France has a think, I hope—and the hope rises out of the great love I share with you all for our inimitable alma mater—I hope that they will think on these things, that they will forget tradition; the determination to see to it the free air of America shall permeate every cranny of their college.
FOOTBALL SYSTEMS
An interesting comment on football systems is that of Mark Rice, in Collier's, which appears below. Kansas, like Yale, has not had time to build up a system.
Percy Haughton, the Czar, Emperor ; Mandarin, and Karin of Harvard's football fortunes, has shown that the value of systems over individuals.
In the six years before Haughton
in 74 points against Harvard, he
74 points against Harvard.
In the first six years after Haughton arrived, Harvard has scored 29 points against Yale's 9—not including the 1914 battle. Which is quite a shift. Before Haughton landed with his system, Harvard had won but three games from Princeton on the opening day of the season. Harvard won three out of four starts, and only a costly fumble kept it from being four straight.
Yale ruled in the old days through Camp's fine system—a system continued from year to year. When Camp dropped out the old Yale system fluttered and shifted and lost its organized efficiency.
Princeton has enjoyed neither a Camp system nor a Haughton system, and so has been forced to depend upon Tiger courage, alertness, and individual skill, which is something to have, but which is under a certain limit. We must share the same virtues organized and directed in the proper way.
Yale this season secured Hinkey to give the Haughton system battle. But for the warfare between the Crimson and the Blue to be waged upon equal terms, Hinkey must be given his chance to build up and to perfect what he has only had a chance to start.
For no system is established in a year—which in a football way embraces but two months' work and play. And only a select few from the nation's top players develop a system worth while. Camp, Yost, Haughton, Sharpe, and Stags are leading examples—where to win there must be a combination of highly developed football intelligence and a capacity for organization and tactical leadership—which possibly ten of our hundred million natives possess.

coming home again.
_Willard Wattles.
I was conceived in passion, hatred, envy, and greed, born in the morning of antiquity, and have a genealogy whose every page dips with the red blood of murdered innocence. I respect neither the feebleness of gray hairs, the helplessness of infancy, nor the sacriessen of virtue, and walk, iron-shod, ruthlessly and impartially over the form of the weakling or the form of the grant.
I paint the midnight skies a lurid glow from the burning homes I have ravaged, and I turn peaceful scenes of rural beauty, where God's own creatures dwell together in amity, into smoky hulls that attack a neighbor in deadly combat, and I incite the brother to slay his brother.
I make puppets of kings, princes of pupers, couriers of courtesans, and thieves of respected subjects, and empires melt before my breath as does mist before the morning sunlight.
I make of religion fanaticism; the heathen I make a fiend incarnate; and of all men I make playthings devoid of reason and justice. Through intrigue I make the intelligent powerful, the unscreplous waxy fat on the spoils of blood-won victories gained by others, and the less learned suffer for their own ignorance.
War
Famine, want, and misery follow in my path; I wash waste green fields and still the hand of industry. I pillage the land of it resources, but contribute nothing of benefit to mankind, leaving pestilence to stalk ghost-like in my wake and complete desolation of damnation. I lay heavy tribute upon my most loyal subjects for the maintenance of my establishment; I squander the vitality and lives of those who serve me faithfully, yet return to the world nothing but ruin and ashes. The baubles of fame I confer on some are the empty shells of false death, not commit murder and rapine is held to be the insignia of glory by a mistaken civilization.
I can offer no excuse for my having come into existence, nor can I give one plausible reason why I should not cease to be, other than that so long as men who wield influence are permitted to interfere with the actions at the expense of the many who must carry the burdens and endure the suffering, that long will I continue to exact my toll of sorrow, devastation, and death. For I am pitiless—devoid of all feeling; I fear it would not have been able to no law, and I am in myself the law and the last resort.
