The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate education offered more further than merely printing the news by standing for the latest issues; to be clean; to be cheerful; to charisma; to solve problems to wiser heads; to address major problems to wiser heads; to ability students of the University.

AN APOLOGY
Because of the continued solicitation of the visiting editors from Kansas and from other states, the Daily Kansan Board has at last consented to turn over today's issue to their tender mercies. The names of the men responsible for the news, editorials and features appear in connection with the various stories.
The members of the Board ask our readers to bear with us for the day. The student editors promise to do their best to offset the effect of the issue—Ed.

JUST BETWEEN OURSELVES
JUST BETWEEN OUR SELVES
The Editor is a man who tries to look wise, and get a big salary, if he can. He is the main guy of the shop, and is always supposed to be engaged in deep thought. It is his duty to advise the President of the United States how to run his administration, and to give tips to foreign potentates on the best way to keep out of trouble, and play for safety. He writes heavy editorials, but they do not keep the clipping bureau busy cutting them from exchanges.
Of course the Editor has a lot of sub-editors to help him, and when they turn in stuff, he looks it over, says "Um," changes a couple of words, and then considers that he has done a pretty good day's work. The Editor toils about four hours a day, and has to have a long vacation in the summer, to rest up in. But do not blame the Editor; he merely lives up to the tradition of his trade, and before he landed he may have worked very hard. We would all be editors if we could, and though many are editors who shouldn't be, you can't blame them for hanging on to a good thing until the snake-up comes, can you?
Baseball is the only business whose press agents are paid by the newspapers. A Mexican war correspondent isn't in it compared with a baseball reporter. Villa, Huerta, and the rest of the greater band are not type high alongside of the Home Club, to the newspaper diamond expert. There never was a battle fought, in his opinion, that equals, in importance, a box score. Yes indeed, the baseball reporter is a great man, envied by tens of thousands; for doesn't he carry a season's pass in his clothes for the best seat in the park?

EDITORIAL DIET
"The vigor of the old time editorial has gone," sighed the ancient newspaper reader in Park Row. "Ah! In the old days, they were full of fire, and dash. Nowadays they are weak and wishey-washey."
"How do you account for it?" I asked.
THE COLUMN CONDUCTOR By James Melvin Lee, formerly director of judging and now director of journalism at New York University.
"It's due to a change of diet," he answered. "In the old days, editorial giants like Greeley, Brooks Wood, Bennett, Weed, Cummings and others, when they needed nourishment in a hurry, would dive into a basement and eat beans. Government experts have proved that one teaspoonful of beans contains more nourishment and vigor than three dozen eggs. Those old editoria giants ate beans. But today, the editorial writers feed on dairy lunches of pie, crullers, eclairs charlotte russes, and milk. No wonder the editorial has lost its punch!"
ENDS AND ODDLETS
The column conductor is, in my opinion, the greatest magazine editor in the country. He brings up a lot of contributors in the way he should have gone himself. Most important of all he has done is to work for nothing. In no other field of journalism does such a condition obtain. The regular magazine editor has to sign cashable checks in payment for many manuscripts which do not pass, if they are equal in value. Why not be a column conductor? Let the literary gold dust twins do the work
WHERE ARE YOU GOING. MY PRETTY

I see you, nailed, with the milking驴;
I mark your cheeks where faint blushes
I note the rhyme strain and fall of my tjays,
imaginary muscles under your skin as you chuck the gun
I would go back to you; you stick on the back of a chair last night
I know if the well goes dry your father will observe that you have the cochin which has been the birthplace of got its first instrument

But it is my will cross the bill — I answer

Where are you going?
The warm wind is blowing
The thyrum bamboo is daring
The light of thyme eyes—
The blue of the skies
All the bamboo is daring
Thyme eyes are an clear
When springtime is here!
They cheeks are glittering—
I know you are going

The girl's at the pump,
The boy's at the jump.

Here comes the hired man,
The brooklet that purple
To own half the world.
We will live on cake and chicken gravy. In the clover meadow where I met you last
Pretty little snaden, say you will be mine.
For I know you are a perfect girl.

THE WAY MADE PLAIN

"Your career lies before you. You are at the parting of the ways—at the place where the road divides into two branches. One is success and happiness, the other to failure, disgrace and misery."
"Which road are you going to take?"
"Yes. dad. I know."
"I want to choose the right road."
"I am glad to hear you say that, my boy; but how are you going to decide which is the right road?"
"I think it will be easy. Last night I overheard mother telling you just what she thought of you. There seems to be no danger of making a mistake if I choose the road you didn't take."
HOT SHOTS (By F. L. Blanchard)
Rather Close
"He's the meanest man in the office," said the Police Court reporter, "that's what the fellow Jones is. Say, I'll bet if he had to write his father's obituary, he'd charge time for it, or space."
An Assignment
"I've got to cover a ball tonight," remarked the coach, a reporter to the team's Editors.
"Society, high, Scotch, or fish?" asked the slang word-painter.
He doesn't write a single word
That gets upon the *printed* page.
But round that, all the wheels go
The fellow in the cashier's cage.
THE PANAMA-PACIFIC INTER-
NATIONAL EXPOSITION
By George Hough Perry, director of Englishtown Education.
By George Hought reripy, director division of Exploitation Californiafers have taken themselves about two million dollars (and came hard to many of us) to build an Exposition that will be the wonder of the world, in the belief that in so doing they were carrying out a duty entrusted to them by the national government. Not one of them expects to see a cent of his money back again. Not one of them has contributed toward this amount merely because the Exposition will "advertise California." The spirit animating this great work is far bigger and finer. The Exposition is the official national celebration of a national achievement. In undertaking the task of providing place to hold it, California assured the ministers of hostess for the nation of the world. The world never seen anything more beautiful architecturally placed in a setting more enchanting to the eye, or conducted on a plane more lofty and diversified.
A great universal Exposition is a cross-section human achievement. This Exposition is to be the last word in such affairs. Anyone who sees it will see all that civilization has accomplished over the years yet best represented by its best achievement. That's for the educational side.
On the commercial side, one must remember that the Exposition is held on the Pacific Ocean at exactly the time the Pacific Area is just beginning to be developed. The consumers of all nations in that area will be represented in the exhibition, the ablest and the most prestigious merchants, will come to the Exposition to see what the world has to offer that will interest their peoples.
But the greatest of all is the influence of such an Exposition in its furtherance of international relationships; the extension of international relations; the encouragement to change and give importance to visual appeals; the wiping out of sectional and even national boundaries, and the advancement of world peace and human brotherhood.
These be big sounding words, but every one of them represents a fact, and it is because these are facts, that California takes her duty seriously, and is striving with all her might to do it well.
THE NEW DAY IN ADVERTISING.

Yesterday it was the feeling of the business world that advertising was necessarily disliked — at least necessarily inaccurate. Today there is the growing belief that the throne of success belongs to Truth, and to Truth

It seems like a little thing; it would be a little thing were it not for the vast sums of capital that were, and to a certain extent still are, staked on deceitful advertising. Maculey said that if any vested interest in bringing New York law of goxication, it would have remained the subject of debate forever. Vested interests, immense manufacturers of food and other products, are today vitally concerned in burking truthful advertising. But the whole current of the age is against them. The value of the security and every-day veracity, and the Golothas of fraud will have to fall before the David's little but deadly sign of truth-telling.
