The Daily Kannan aims to picture the daily life of a student in Kansas to go further than merely print the news by standing for the ideals of justice, integrity, honesty and to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be true. In our classes we face problems to widen hearts in all, to serve to improve its ability the students of the University.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2.1914
The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess caused man to fall; but in charity there is no excess; neither can angel or man come in danger by it.—Bacon
THEY'RE HERE AT LAST!
Those account books are here at last. Treasurers of student organizations will be supplied with books and instructions for keeping them. A uniform system will be in vogue.
For the first time in a long time, an intelligent audit of the accounts of student organizations will be made. The results of the audit—disbursements and expenditures—will be made known, and students will know where and for what the money goes.
Not that any student treasurer is grafting. Students have a right to know this, and it will relieve the collectors and disburbers of the money of any responsibility.
UNIVERSITY INFIRMARIES
Few students knew the location of the University Infirmary or the rules governing it previous to seeing the posters which have just been placed about the campus. The Infirmary authorities are to be commended for extending this information and thus helping those in need of care to find it more easily.
The terms upon which a student may secure treatment are fairly moderate, yet it is doubtful whether as many as should do so will avail themselves of the opportunity. The average person in good health is slow to part with money for medical aid until forced to do so by some serious ailment. This very tendency, however, causes a large amount of the illness in a University community for many serious complications could be avoided by proper treatment at an early stage.
Many of our large institutions recognize this tendency on the part of the student and provide against it by the establishment and maintenance of a free infirmary where the student may go at any time and secure aid and advice without cost. A nominal fee is charged each student upon registration and this covers all infirmary expenses. California, Stanford, Ohio, and even the Kansas Aggies take care of their students.
GIVE NOW!
"He gives by halves who hesitates to give."
Broome's quotation is particularly applicable to the Red Cross fund situation at the University.
Many are planning to give who have so far neglected to do so, either through carelessness or indifference to the campaign.
The time to give is now.
VOTE TOMORROW!
If, as students are continually told, the Republic depends on college-bred men to be its leaders in the years to
come, certainly every student who can should go to the polls tomorrow and cast his ballot.
A college man is particularly fitted for the task of casting an intelligent vote, since his training, supposedly at least, gives him a knowledge of things politic deeper than that of the average voter.
Praise is due the sororities and the fraternity that have contributed to the University Red Cross fund. The Daily Kansan congratulates them on the spirit that prompted their action.
The Red Cross
The American Red Cross Association has been a friend in need. In such calamities as the Galveston flood, the New York earthquake, the Japan famine, the San Francisco earthquake, and the present European earthquakes, and its nurses and ambulances for the relief of the wounded, and provides food and shelter for those in need of shelter. Since the outbreak of war in Europe, the Red Cross has been fitting out relief companies, and a response to this appeal, money has been poured in from all parts of the United States. The membership fees alone amounted to $500 a day since September.
The Red Cross is world wide. It was first organized in 1859 in Geneva, Switzerland, and today forty-five years later it still the international clearing house, and is recognized by the national associations as the central committee. The President of the United States has given the organization more, and the eighteen make up the central committee of a nation. It is a non-political and non-sectarian organization, and relies on membership fees for subscription fees for its entire support.
The Red Cross people of England are sending companies of surgeons and ambulance workers to receive money, and aside from the aid they are giving in field nursing, the Red Cross woman of France are giving to the widows and orphans of the war.

Good Company in Books
A book is good company. It is full of conversation without laquity. It comes to our longing with full instruction, but pursues us never. It is not offended at our absent mindness, nor jealous if we turn to other pleasures—of leaf or dress or mineral, not even other books. It silentens, and never speaks in its presence—not even for the hire of love. And, yet more noble, it seems to pass from itself and to enter the memory, and to hover in a silvery transformation there, until the outward book is but a body and its soul and spirit are flown to you and possess your memory like a spirit. And while some books, like steps are left behind us by the very help which they yield us, and serve only our childhood or early life, some others go with us in mature age. And of life a protection for fatigue, an inspiration for our sober hours and a solace for our sickness or sorrow. Except the great outdoors, nothing that has so much life of its own gives so much life to us.

The End of the Game
Of headlong, happiest youth, with hats flung high through the
Where the conquering ball had sailed,
with arms chance-linked for
their own sake.
Marches the band;—behind it, the wildlife rhythmic mass
To join the swirling, delirious, ser-
pentine measure of joy.
That wells from the leaping heart of every precipitate boy,
What sends from my older heart the mist to my musing eyes?
"A new tariff law must be enacted if the present system of taxing theatres, liquors, and the like fails to comply," said Prof. R. E. Rise this morning.
mist to my musing eyes?
Not envy, I think, for all that nig-gardly age denies;
But something akin to pity—even at this flaming hour
Filled with the triumph of sharing
the joy of triumphant power—
Pity that ever the jubilant springs must fail of their flow,
And that youth, so utterly knowing it not, must one day know.
—November Atlantic.
FLOYD L. LAWRENCE
"The decreased amount of goods imported has caused the revenues of this country to fall alarmingly, and as a counteracting measure, Congress passed a new internal revenue act to provide the funds which are lost to our country through the non-importation of commodities."
Vocations for Women
(This is the second article of series.
The next will appear Wednesday
Edition.)
Within a few years an increasing number of women have entered business, most of them by way of stenography. The average girl wishing to enter this field will be benefited by a short business course, though one of unusual capacity and perseverance can learn both shorthand and type-writing by herself. The other method is shorter and easier.
Getting a position is the first step, and making oneself valuable to one's employer is the next. Readers of the Kansas City Star will find something of interest in the "Public Mind" column, but being a man has some complaining of the great depth of capable, efficient, reliable stenographers. To look at the vast number of young women in the business colleges, one would imagine the field overcrowded, and so it would be, were all stenographers of the class described. But they are not, and consequently the one who will take an intelligent interest in her employer's work may be herself useful, and employ tact and discretion, can pretty nearly name her own salary.
MUST HAVE NEW REVENUE
IF INTERNAL TAIL FAIXS
Almost any stenographer can get $12 a week, and efficient ones receive from $20 up, depending on circumstances. Secretaryship growing out of stenographic positions, pay as high as $2400 a year.
Capable stenographers have no difficulty in getting more responsible positions. Many women command large salaries as buyers and managers. Banks, too, offer good positions to the right sort of women, who are willing to begin at the bottom and work up. Recent banking directories show a large number of women associated with bank clerks and filing clerks. Many bankers maintain that women make better officials than men, because superior strength of character makes them practically immune to temptation.
Real estate and insurance are two remunerative fields for women in business. In either of them, the woman with the best education has the greatest advantage, other things being equal. Indeed, a good education is of value in any kind of work, though it will not take the place of experience. The business woman can use her knowledge of economics, sociology, psychology, and a dozen other college subjects.
If you have ever read "Stalky and Co," or "The Varmint," or any of Ralph Henry Barbour's school stories, you will be more than glad to read Ivan Hay's series on "The Lighter Side of School Life." in Blackwood's Magazine. These reminiscences of Mr. Hay are as entertaining as any story, and he, and the added advantage of being actually as well as morally true. The series begins with a chapter on the head master, in the June number. July takes up the house master, August the form masters and, best of all, the boys. You might think there was nothing left for September, but that issue the subject of boys is continued under the titles of "The Purple Apple." If you have time for only one chapter, by all means read the one on boys. P. S. Blackwood is in nigronole 433.
