If we were Miss Elizabeth Morrow, we would feel inclined to sue the Kansas City Star for libel, on the strength of the alleged picture of her that appeared in the Sunday Star. The inspired compositor again; not content with giving Vie Householder's weight at 121 pounds, a Lawrence paper describes him as being 55 feet, 11 inches high. Some bean pole, what? The recent experience with the much-talked of "pep" at the University should have firmly impressed one thing at least, that pep is spontaneous, that to be real it can not be manufactured. One can not say "let there be pep," and get it. It grows. In his appearance before the students the other night Wheaton stirred up more enthusiasm than any one thing has done at the University all year. He made the students realize that the team is theirs. There will be more enthusiasm next year, and more the year after that, if Wheaton continues the plan of the other night. The results are apparent from a glance at the Normal scores this year. Bill Hargiss, coach at Emporia has every student interested in the Normal team. He put pep into them. Pep he defines as a "radiated determination to win." Hargiss tells the students about the team, what it is doing, and what they ought to do. GET THE HOOKS With the arrival of cold weather, students who have classes in the Administration Building are confronted with the problem of what to do with their wraps. There are no hooks nor hangers. In many of the classes there are not enough extra chairs to be used in lieu of hooks. Frequently the students must lay their coats and hats on the floor. The floor's dirty. If they sit on them, it's uncomfortable. Give us some hooks. They're cheap. LET'S START SOMETHING! The immediate formation of a county club central committee must be accomplished, if the county clubs are to be of any value. Practically all of the counties have organized, but any of them are doing little to aid the mill tax movement, not because they do not wish to, but because they do not know how. The central organization could disseminate information, and direct the energies of the clubs to where they would do the most good. But if the Student Council lets the matter hang fire much longer, the clubs will be useless. It takes time to create sentiment. The clubs should be fully organized and it good working order by the time of the Christmas holidays. Let's or canize! Missed by the Oread Board of Censorship We now know exactly how Belgium feels. Et tu, Missouri. This Thanksgiving spirit; what in thunder is it? Why worry about being drawn into the war? The Missouri and Nebraska football teams might have to go. Still, we can beat 'em in tennis. And debate, Readers of this column will kindly excuse the mildness of our efforts today. We feel as funny as a fish. "Everybody out," the K. U. rallying cry of the past week is particularly appropriate since the betting catastrophe of Saturday. POLLYANNAISM Perhaps, after all, we are just as well off having lost to Missouri. There would probably not have been a holiday Wednesday if we had won. "The man from home" (and the girl also) was in Lawrence Saturday. AFTER THE GAME In justice to the faculty of the chemistry department let it be recorded here that not a single chemist was present. P S. Quizzes come Wednesday, "What's the matter with the team?" we ask and in no uncertain terms comes the reply "they're all right, they are. They are, THEY are all right." Laudable sentiment, but the word is not grammatical and grammatical use "they," plural pronoun, referring to the single noun "team"? Suggestion to the decoration committee: (delayed in transmission): Why not use something black and yellow or crimson and blue? SILENT FLOWER --in an exquisite littel story, "The Siege of Berlin," Alphonse Daudet tells of an old French colonel, who on account of a paralytic stroke, was deceived (by the doctor's orders) into believing that the French army was marching into Berlin. His sister was sent very gates of Paris. The result of the lie is shown in this, the climax of the story; Kansas supporters had little to say after the game Saturday. And among the loud colors which the crowd were there was the chrysanthemum. The Nebraska and Missouri games have caused a big K. U. enrollment in the Society of Spugs. The Kansas and Missouri colors became sadly mixed Saturday. Missouri got the crimson and orange, we got the black and blue. The good ship Kansas has gone and joined the British superdreadnaught Audacious. The Siege of Berlin "Why, yes, doctor, that's the great news. The siege of Berlin has “What, colonel! you know?” His granddaughter turned to watch. At that moment the Prussians were only a week's march from Paris. We asked ourselves at first if it would be better to take him into the provinces; but as soon as we were outside the city, the state of country would be more considered still so weak, too much benumbed by his great shock, to let him know the truth. So we decided to remain. As she said this, she plied her needle with such a sedate and placid air! How could he have suspected anything? He could not hear the noise of his fire. He did not see our unfortunate Paris, all in confusion and dreadful to behold. The first day of the investment of Paris, I went up to their rooms, I remember, deeply moved, with that agony at the heart which the closed gates, the fighting under the walls, and our suburbs turned into Frontier weave us all. I found the good man seated on his bed, proud and jubilant. I gazed at him in blank amazement. "Well," he said, "so the siege has begun!" From that day our military opera Where he was especially grand was in the replies that he sent to his son. "Never forget that you are a Frenchman," he would say to him. "Be generous to those poor people. Don't make the invasion too hard for them. A war indemnity and nothing more. What is the use of taking their provinces? Is it possible to turn Germany into France?" tions were much simplified. To take Berlin was only a matter of patience. From time to time, when the old man was too much bored, we would ask him to write in his imaginary letter, of course, for nothing was allowed to enter Paris. Meanwhile the siege went on—not the siege of Berlin, alas! It was the time of intense cold, of the bombardment, of epidemics and famine. But, thanks to our care, to our efforts to the relief of the sick, himself itself about him, the old man's serenity was not disturbed for an instant. "Was the grandfather's door open? In truth, on thinking it over afterwards, I remembered that his face wore an extraordinary expression that night. It is probable that he overheard us. But we were talking of the Prussians; and the good man was thinking of the French, of that triumphal entry which he had been waiting so long. One evening when I arrived, the girl came to me in great trouble. "They are to march into the city tomorrow," she said. Poor Father Jouve! He had imagined doubtless that we intended to prevent him from witnessing the parade of our troops, in order to avoid too great excitement. So he was very nervous; but the next day, at the very hour when the Prussian battalions entered hesitatingly upon the long road which leads from Porte Mailot to the Tulleries, the window up there opened softly, and the colonel appeared on the long balken of his long sword. The old grimace of one of Milhaud's cuirassiers. Standing behind the rail, he was amazed to find the broad avenues so silent, the blinds of the houses closed, Paris as gloomy as a huge lazertoy, flags everywhere, but such strange flags, with little 'white crosses, and no one to go to meet our soldiers. For a moment he might have thought that he was mistaken. But no! Yonder, behind the Arc de Triomphe, there was a confused rumbling, a black line approaching in the rising sunlight. Then, little by little, the points of the helmets gleamed, the little drums of Jena began to beat, while the team of reenactors and the hunting of the sabres beat time, Shubert's Triumphal March burst forth! Thereupon in the deathlie silence of the square, a cry rang out, a terrible cry "To arms! To arms! The Prussians!" and the four lulhans of the vanguard saw up yonder, on the balcony, a tall old man wave his arms, stagger, and fall. That time, Colonel Jouve was really dead. Essays Picked Young Why, we would lose half our conversation if the weather were to run away and hide. That half of our talk proves the weather to be the greatest factor in the rain. Who talks about the weather, anyway? Why, the farmers, the merchants, the lovers, and other great economists. No one ever heard a professor or a preacher talk about the weather, because they are not economists. Yes, the weather is the greatest topic of today, tomorrow and wash day; so we had better drink it with boots and have to hunt our bocks and rubbers. THE WEATHER But the weather! What a power it has over our lives. What if the weather should cease? Or what if the weather bureau should misplace it? What would we do? We could not even raise horseweeds, milkweeds or egg plants without the help of the weather. And still we hear people "cussin'" the weather every day. The weather is the greatest economic topic of today and every other day. It stands pr-eminent, like the mountain or the peak of the Nightingale, with its Wars may range and prices may soar, and dip and spiral; tariffs may fade away and markets lose their rbalance, but they have no claim to our consideration. They are but temporary and never affect all the people all time. "We don't have French novels today, we don't need them, we have the Cosmopolitan"一Dr. Mabel Ulrich in a picture on "Spooning and Flirting." Again, children, what is the greatest economic topic of today? No, that is wrong. Everyone is wrong. The war is not, the greatest, neither is the tariff, nor has buy-hole of-cotton anything to do with it. Tne Little Schoolmaster Says: "You Can Thank Brewer for It" He had kept those Missouri Tigers in captivity so long that they simply couldn't resist eating up everything that came their way. As coach Wheaton says, "Football demands hearty co-operation of everyone to become a winner." And while McCook Field fairly quivered with JAWHAWK enthusiasm, it seems that we did not get our bearings together early enough. It takes a strong grip to twist the Tiger's tail, but we'll "show em" next time. Better see Sam G. Clarke, 707 Mass. St. today and be measured for an Ed. V. Price & Co. tailored-to-order suit. It Will Banish the Blues! POLITICS Politics is a disease which rages on every college campus for a few days each fall and spring, and can be cured only by a heavy dose of antibiotics. The effects of the afflicted and prepares the others for another spasm next year. As a pest, the man afflicted with a bad case of politics, cannot be distanced. Sometimes he becomes such a nuisance that he goes off and votes in an election. And even when he is buried he usually rises to remark how it happened. When politics has its flag hung out, no one is immune. An innocent bystander hurrying along the campus stands a 100 to 1 chance of being flanked on his starboard by a barb candidate, while a frat man is bombarding his port. Lucky is he who escapes politics's week without making seven or eight impossible promises and losing all his friends. Will Hold Inter-Frat Debates Will Hold Inter-Fran Debates The practice of holding inter-fraternity debates will be continued, accepted by the Parliament. The Hellenic Council has not announced the plans yet, but definite schemes will be worked out soon. Send the Daily Kansan home. Money by the Bushel Correct, Sit Down! Correct, St. DOWN.
