The Daily Kumari aims to picture the undergraduate students of the University go further than merely printing the notes by standing for them, but more importantly to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be patient; to solve problems to water heads in all, to serve to help the ability of the students at the University.

I crown the king of intimate delights,
Fireside enjoyments, home-born happiness,
And all the comforts that the lowly roof
Of untisturb'd Retirement, and the hours
Of long uninterrupted evening, know. —Cowper.
AN UNPLEASANT TASK
The Student Council, since it is made up of students, finds no pleasure in discipling students. Its recommendation of suspension last week was an unpleasant task. But it was vitally necessary to the success of student government, which has never been effective or successful at the University.
Rather does the Council deserve credit for doing a distasteful duty, when the other course was so much easier, than criticism for its action.
In every community there are men habitually opposed to authority or restraint of any kind, and the University is no exception. These men were quick to do all in their power to arouse unfriendly sentiment against the Council. They met with little success, however, thanks to the broader vision of the better-thinking class of students, who realize that just laws, effectively administered, are absolutely essential in a community of 2500 persons.
Virtual anarchy prevailed at the University last year as far as the enforcement of law was concerned. Its result was only too apparent, and students do not want a repitation of the same conditions. The Council's action is a big step in the right direction.
CLEAN CHEERING
One of the most striking things at the Washburn-K. U. game Saturday was the courtesy between the rival rooting sections. K. U. cheered for Washburn, Washburn cheered for K. U. When a penalty was imposed or a player injured, silence reigned. K. U. rooters recognized the pluck of the Washburn players, and gave them a cheer when they were compelled to go out of the game on account of injury, and Washburn returned the compliment.
The very air was full of the good feeling engendered. Th sting of defeat was mitigated for Washburn, and each school acquired more respect for the other.
How much better is this than jeering, and dirty yelling. Keep it up for always, and get a "rep" all over the Valley for being a good clean sportmanlike bunch of fans.
GIVE IT BACK, PLEASE!
Will somebody please page the Bell phone that used to be in the library? The Home phone is still there, but what has become of our faithful friend, the Bell?
Nowadays if we miss connections with anybody we expected to meet on the Hill, we have no way to get
a line on their whereabouts. It may take us untold hours to discover that they are at home taking a little nap, or forget to come, or whatever may be the cause of their non-appearance.
O, Powers that be, take away, if must be, our distilled water, our subscription to the Edinburgh Review, our plaster model of the Administration Building, but give, oh give us back our telephone!
In anything pertaining to student government, the two legislative bodies of students in the University have full power. The Men's Student Council was given power by the faculty to govern the men students, while the Women's Student Government Association is responsible for the good behavior of the women students. One body or the other can show that it stands behind the other in its enforcement of the laws of the school, as the W. S. G. A. did in passing a resolution commending the Student Council* on the stand taken against the Friday morning rally.
The government of the men of the student body is looked upon as a special problem for the men of the University. According to the constitution of the Indiana University, the acts of lawlessness, whether committed by the man or the woman student, are brought before a council representing the whole school, and there dealt with.
Student Opinion
Practically 1000 freshmen entered school here this fall. One half of them at least did not smoke. And yet what was the first thing that was given for them socially as a class? A freshman smoker!
At this some few boys had the courage to refuse to smoke. But the most of them couldn't bear to seem distunt from the "rest of the fellows."
We do not say that it harms any of those boys who had then their initial smoke. But—and this after all is the point—was there a boy there who was helped by it? No one can conscientiously say so.
Have boys of this day become so sophisticated that they cannot get together and have a good time without smoking? If so, then that is all the more reason why smokers should not be.
And what does it do for the University? This fall we want the mill tax from the state. But are the people going to give it to an institution to which they would not send their boys? And are parents who have spent years in teaching their boys how to be the finest men—are they going to send their boys to an institution which fosters smoking?
The old fashioned idea that a boy cannot be a man miller he learn to smite is like a boy

"What a terrific step grade it is, and that makes it easier to climb it so often," said she.

The Reading of Books

Of one thing I feel quite certain, that the reading of good literature is necessary to the growth of the mind and the strengthening of character, especially in young people, and that there is no resource for all periods of life. Books are enduring as a love of good books. Channing well says: "God be thanked for books. They are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages. Books are the true levelers. Books can be used to use them the society, the spiritual presence, of the best and greatest of our race—George P. Brett, in the November Atlantic.

Many do not understand the hatred existing between Germany and France over German rule in Albae-Lorraine. An extract from "The Last Class" of Alphonse Daudet shows the bitter feeling that has grown up in these two provinces, formerly French, now German. The little pupil is speaking:
The Last Class
"My children, this is the last time I shall teach you," said Monsieur Hamel in the same gentle and serious voice with which he had welcomed me. "Orders have come from Berlin to teach nothing but German in the schools of Alsace and Lorraine or French to learn the morrow. This is the last class in French, so I beg you to be very attentive."
These few words overwhelmed me. My last class in French! And I barely knew how to write! So I should never learn! I must stop short where I was! How angry I was with myself because of the time I had wasted, the lessons I had missed, running about after nests, or sliding on the Scar! My books which only momentently present before I threw it tiresome, so heavy to carry—my grammar, my sacred history—seemed to me now like old friends, from whom I should be terribly grieved to part.
Passing from one to another, Monsieur Hamel began to talk to us about the French language, saying that it was the most beautiful language in the world, the most clear, the most substantial; that we must always retain it among ourselves, and never forget it, because when a people falls into servitude, "so long as it dings to its language, it is if it held the key to its prison." Then he took the grammar and read to us our lesson. I was amazed to see how readily I understood. Everything that he said seemed so easy to me, so easy. I believed, too, that I had never listened so closely, and that he, for his part, had never been so patient with his explanations. One would have said that before he could give us all his knowledge, to force it all into our heads at a single
When the lesson was at an end, we passed to writing. For that day Monsieur Hamel had prepared some entirely new examples, on which was written in a fine, round hand: "France, Alsace, France, Alsace." They were like little flags, waving all about the class, hanging from the ceiling. "How much we have seen how silent we will worked and how silent it was! Nothing could be heard save the grinding of the pens over the paper.
From time to time, when I raised my eyes from my paper, I saw Monsieur Hamel sitting motionless in his chair and staring at the objects about him as if he wished to carry away in his glance the whole of his little schoolhouse. Think of it myself, for when I was in the same place with his class just as it was! But the benches and desks were polished and rubbed by use; the walnuts in the yard had grown, and the hop-vine which he himself had planted now festooned the windows even to the roof. What a heart-tending thing it must have been for that poor man to leave all those things, and to hear his sister speak in a different way overhead, packing their trunks! For they were to go away the next day—to leave the province forever.
Suddenly the church clock struck twelve, then the Angelus rang. At the same moment, the bugles of the Prussians returning from drill blared under our windows. Monsieur Hamel rose, pale as death, from his chair. Never had he seemed to me so tall.
However, he had the courage to keep the class to the end. After the writing, we had the lesson in his speech. We all worked together the ba, be, bi, bo, bu.
Then he stood there, with his head resting against the wall, and without speaking, he motioned to us with his hand:
"my friends," he said, "my friends. I—I—"
Thereupon he turned to the blackboard, took a piece of chalk, and, bearing on with all his might, he wrote in the largest letters he could:
Dill—It looks like the Missouri-ansas game might be a frame-up.
Dill-Why, there's Wood on both teams.
"Well," the editor, "how about that high-life scandal story? Is it
But something suffocated him. He could not finish the sentence.
Pickle--Never Mell, Dill old boy; we've got a Householder on our team.
"That is all; go."
"No, sir," said the reporter.
"No facts at all?"
"No a shame."
"Everything denied?"
"Absolutely."
"Good heavens!  Cut it down to half a page."—the Yale Record.
"No, sir," said the reporter. "No facts at all?"
