Phone, Bell K. U, 25 Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas.
The Daily Kaman aims to picture the life of a student in Kauai. He goes to Kamapu to go further than merely printing his name on a piece of paper. University holds to play no nooses; to be clean; to be cheerful; to cherish others; to be faithful; to solve problems to water hers; in all, to serve to ably the ability of the students at the University.

WILL BONDING FAIL?
The pantatoriums are overlooking a good opportunity to gain student favor and student trade by not bonding themselves. A firm that will come under bond of its own volition will do so to its own advantage, beyond doubt.
The Student Council seems to be unable to bond the pantatoriums, or else it does not wish to. It is characteristic of last year's Council that the impression was allowed to go out that pantatoriums were under bond. But that is no excuse for the matter being allowed to drop. It is a good plan and a desirable one, and if the Council will put it through they will have accomplished all the more because of the difficulties that must be surmounted.
CAREFUL MR. FOX!
In this week's Saturday Evening Post, William Allen White, the Pride of Kansas, is severely criticized by one Hugh F. Fox, secretary of the U. S. Brewer's Association.
Perhaps Mr. Fox doesn't think that Kansas thinks much of her laws. Let him come out and take a look.
Mr. White, in talking about the effect of the prohibition laws in Kansas, said that Kansas had more students in college according to population than any other state in the Union. Mr. Fox contradicts this statement, showing statistics and claiming that Iowa has the Sunflower State beaten about thirty per cent. Mr. Fox goes on to say that the people of Kansas are not sure whether or not they like their prohibition laws and their effect.
A GOOD RULE
It is enough that freshmen should have to wear their caps without being compelled to tip them, and it is to be hoped that the Council will enforce its new ruling forbidding upperclassmen to force the first year men to tip their caps.
The engineers think they are able to take care of their own freshmen without help from the laws. The prompt action of the Council probably averted trouble. The laws who were concerned in the matter, and brought about a threatened revival of the old trouble between the two schools, deserve criticism. The action is not in accord with the very apparent desire of the students this year to do away with all that sort of thing.
ONLY ONE YELL
What would the University of Kansas do if the state legislature should pass a statute against the further use of our justly celebrated Rock Chalk? Impossible, of course, but it would remind us that we have no other yell to alternate with the Rock Chalk.
It has been a matter of some criticism that we really have no good yells besides the one favorite. Other schools all have their standard yell
but supplement it with others, while here we give Rock Chalk, wait a few minutes and repeat.
Wouldn't a contest for new yellies remedy this condition? Something should be done before the big games come on.
Good cheerleaders, such as we have, are helpless when there is no variety of yells to choose from.
The Daily Kansan will welcome suggestions.
The Sachems, honorary senior society, have appointed a committee to assist the Council in the formation of county clubs. Here is a suggestion for some of the numerous other organizations on the Hill, many of which live an apparently purposeless existence.
Favorite Yarns of Kansas Professors
PAYING ONE'S BILLS
In speaking of Henry Clay, Prof. C. A. Dykstra, of the department of history, told this story to one of his Government classes last week:
Henry Clay always had debts. Many times he was delivered from his creditors through the kindness of some of his friends. On one occasion when he was more heavily involved than usual, one of his friends settled all the bills and brought them to Clay saying, "I have paid all these bills for you. You can now make a note to me for the whole amount." As Clay signed the note he exclaimed, "Thank God that's paid."
Willard Wattles Writes of Kansas Literatur
At the request of the Kansan I am commenting on Julian Street's statement in Collier's Weekly that Kansas has little art or literature. I think Miss Lynn has already expressed the gist of the matter in the interview printed Tuesday evening. Julian Street is more or less right. That does not mean that we will not have gist of the matter at the present, we as them as older and more settled portions of our country. No one could be more thoroughly a Kansan or an American than I; consequently I feel no backwardness in acknowledging that both our state and our nation have a great deal to learn from other peoples. We are crude, and we might as well accept the fact. I am not sure that crudeness is necessarily a weakness. Our real failure has two causes: the inability to handle and the inability of our writers and the inability of our public to discriminate between our real artists and the parasites. What can one expect of a people who prefer, Henry Van Dyke, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, and Robert W. Chambers to John Burroughs, Bret Harte, and Walt Whitman? Whitman, himself said: "To great man们 there must be great audiences too." How many average Americans understand the actual significance of Democracy? How many Kansan know why Nicholas Vachel Lindsay and Witter Byner are even now accomplishing for sincerity and simplicity in society and in politics? We follow either the vapid dilettantes of literature who spell culture with a capital K and snake it with a club or we make a sneak it with a mag-a-ring-devil sort of attitude toward life and reveal in its suggestive stories what they know that most of the "high life" there depicted is staged for the benefit of some good dacon on the vacation or some respectable on a farmer who blowing in the gilt-edge margin on his last car of hogs. Whenever Kansan, as well as their brother Americans bring themselves to give up the idea of trying to imitate the thoughts or habits of somebody else, we do have literature whom we wish to accomplish anything worth while in any department of endeavor, must win the approval of the East before his own people will believe in him. Whitman, Emerson, Mac Twain, Poc, Hawthorne, Macdowell, St Gaudens, and Whistler, were recognized abroad long before they were known as they deserved to be in their own country. It is equally true that Kipling found his first intelligent author.
One thing Kansai has that is hopeful, and that is a whole-souled capacity of appreciation. This summer when I told Rose O'Neill in New York that I was going back to Kansas, she answered: "Don't go back to boots or stuff. Stay with the technique that you lack." She did not mean the sentence as it sounded,—for Rose O'Neill's family still lived in Missouri. My answer was: "I don't want the technique of the East. It is life that makes literature; not literature, life. Out West is where the material lies."
When I know life thoroughly enough, the technique will take care of itself.
John Burroughs told me this summer that he could not stand the straight roads of Kansas; it was all laid out like a pancake. I told him that the beauty of Kansas was seen only by those who knew her intimately and that the fact that we had less than other states made us appreciate the more beautiful places, and read my "Pruirie Wind," he said he "guessed there was some beauty in Kansas, after all." No, the criticism of Julian Street does not worry me. Kansas even now need feel no shame over her accomplishments. Our fathers have been making laws which enable us to develop the refinements of life on a foundation of sound government. We can answer our critics in the form of "Kansas" with his first wrote for me while he was at Helmeta, N. J.; "I let other countries glory in their
But Kansas glories in her days to
"Let other countries glory in their past,
or in the words of Walt Mason: "It's morning here in Kansas, and the dew is on the grass."
Willard Wattles.
The Celestial Surgeon
Browsing Around Spooner
If I have faltered more or less
in my great task of happiness;
If I have moved among my race
And shown no glorious morning face;
If beams from-happy human eyes
Have moved me not; if morning skies,
Books, and my food, and summer rain
Knocked at my sullen heart in vain—
Lord my most pointed pleasure take
and stab my spiriia broad awake;
Oh Lord if too obdurel I
Choose thou, before that spirit die,
A piercing pain, a killing sin,
And to my dead heart run them in
my dead heart Run them.
—Robert Louis Stevenson.
Students who look over the Canadian Magazine in the library get a vivid idea of the feeling of Canadians in the present European war. Newton Mactavish in an article "War Time in Canada" in the October issue tells of the plans taken by the government even before the United States dreamed of such a possibility. The article goes on to tell of the sitting of the Canadian Council, its proffering of assistance should England need aid in the crisis, and the method followed in raising men, money and arms. The article shows with what dispatch Canada set her shoulder to the wheel, and that albeit Canada is a native of America, yet he is a British subject, and as such, is willing to spill blood in her behalf. One gets this close view-point of the war from our Northern neighbors by spending a few minutes with the Canadian Magazine.
