Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, Lawrence The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to paint the campus; to show the University holds; to play no favorites, to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more than one year at the University; in all, to arrest to the best of its ability the students of the University. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1913. —Anon. An ounce of cap is less painful than a pound of paddle WANTED—A NEW TRADITION One reason so often given for taking the Missouri-Kansas game back to Kansas City, one especially given by alumni is that the game there is a sort of tradition, and as such should be preserved. Certainly that is true. Even the opponents of the game there will admit that wonderful traditions founded on more wonderful struggles between the Tiger and the Jayhawk in Kansas City have grown up. In the meantime, the University has been the loser. Instead of "Old Grads" coming back to the University town at least once every two years to renew old ties as well as see the game, Kansas City has been the gainer, giving little in return. It is not surprising, therefore, that in several crises the University has faced lately to the alumni it has looked, sometimes in vain, for aid. What we need is the Kansas City tradition grafted on here, and nothing else than the game here on college grounds will do it. If alumni prefer to see the game in Kansas City every year to seeing it here once in two years, while their Alma Mater suffers in consequence, surely there is less and less reason why a thing that belongs to the University should be at the pleasure of alumni who no longer belong to the University. We are hoping that when the Japanese Mr. Ongawa appears in chapel he will not be accompanied by that well known performer, Mr. Ong-wee. There is a horrible joke concealed in the topic presented before the Quill. Club yesterday, "The Business of Moving Pictures," but we leave it to the drayman. MUD-BALL POLITICS Probably the worse thing connected with University politics in the past few years in the increasing tendency of warring factions to throw mud in the dark, and when the supply of wet clay runs out, to heave more firmly packed pieces of terra firma commonly used for paving purposes. University politics is good fun, and certainly under ordinary circumstances any one who goes into it has no reason to complain if he happens to be the hindmost when the devil comes in sight. But it is a far different matter when University students of thinking age, though not always thinking ability, have to underhandedly malign fellow students to get votes for an office that is often sought, not given. If students must resort to personal attacks, and most of these on handbills which they are ashamed to put out publicly, then we are indeed worthy politicians. Let's keep University politics above the back-alley mud-slinging stage, and if a man is not deserving of election, tell him so to his face, is such is necessary, and then vote against him. Wild West Politics Sophomore ticket, "Buster" Brown; junior ticket, "Kit" Carson and "Battling" Nelson. For seniors we suggest Happy Hooligan, Ponce De Leon and Buffalo Bill. Something must be done about chapel. Either the program committee will have to get up poorer programs or a larger assembly hall must be furnished. "PLUG" STUDENTS The Topeka Capital is kind enough to classify the general hurly-burly of students at the University by alluding, in a headline, to the coining gymnasium dances here as dances for "plug" students. Of course we are at loss for a dignified retort, but we would like to suggest that the "head writer" look over a few of those "nipu" students like "Bill" Weidlein and "Andy" Groft before he laughs himself to death over his own funny headlines. It is an insult to one's morals to be called fast, and an insult to one's intelligence to be called slow. —Life. Professor's wife was real outspoken For he had dropped a wedding token; She shed him for having broken For her glass. FLYING FRAGMENTS The trouble I have just related Made the poor man to class belated. The studies, ten minutes having waited, Had cut class. There are some men who are fortune's favorites, and who, like cats, light forever upon their legs; diapers, whom, if you had stripped naked and thrown over West-minster bridge, you might meet on the very next day, with bag-wigs on their heads, swords by their sides, laced coats upon their backs, and money in their pockets. C. C. Colton. “Yes,” said the reference; “when he was in our employ some years ago, he was not only trusted and tried—but also convicted.” —Exchange. Tell a man that there are 270,169,326,484 stars and he will believe you. But if a sign says Fresh Paint he has to make a personal investigation. —Cincinnati Enquirer. If ignorance and passion are the foes of popular mortality, it must be confessed that moral indifference is the malady of the cultivated classes. The modern separation of enlightenment and virtue, of thought and conscience, of the intellectual righteocracy from the honest and vulgar crowd, is the greatest danger that can threaten liberty.

Stevenson, Editor An aspiration is a joy forever, a possession as solid as a landed estate, a fortune which we can never exhaust and which gives us year by year a revenue of pleasurable activity. To have many of these is to be spiritually rich. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING That's some dress you've got on, little girl—it sure is that delicate, clinging, crinky stuff is the prettiest cloth on the store counters; that silk Persian sash of many colors so gracefully swathed about the center section of your anatomy can be draped over it in a tailored and tailored according to the most extreme model in the advance August 'fashion' books. But your neck is too low and your sleeves are too short, and your skirt is far and away tighter than skirts ever were meant to be. And that graceful slit exposing your dainty left ankle showing a stocking above your pump is almost transparent enough to read through. And you haven't any more petticoat than a rabbit—you know you haven't. Oh, you're some swell, you are. Have you noticed how the loafers around the grove rubber at you as you trip demurely by on your way to the uplift lectures? And have you been thinking, little foolish one, that they were rubbering out of pure admiration? Ask your brother about it. If he's got any sense he'll good some things that will make him a good man and good friend. And if you've got any sense you'll take his word for it; you'll lay that dress, and don something that's wide enough around the bottom to allow room for two petticoats and one pair of legs. For there never vas a dress designed, little girl, that is half so beautiful as a young girl's modesty.—William Allen White in the Emporia Gazette. Delaware—Two girl students at the Ohio Wesleyan University were forced to quit their classes, go to their rooms and sew up their new slit skirts. Besides, they were ordered never to again appear in classes with the hems of their skirts notched even the tiniest little skirt. Dean Newberry of Mommett did so in skirt. No official edict was issued but when the dean noticed too much dirt in her dress she sent them to their rooms on the needlework—Washington Times. Unfamiliar Verses A soft veil dims the tender skies, And half conceals from pensive eyes The bronzing tuckles of the fall; A calmness tokens upon the hills, And summer's parting dream distills A charm of silence over all. The stacks of corn, in brown array, Stand waiting through the placid day, Like battered wigwams on the plain; The tribes that had a shelter there Are phantom peoples, forms of air, And ghosts of vanished joy and death. Henry Van Dyke OCTOBER SUNRISE Gaunt, leafless trees, with barren, blackened bough in silhouette against a cold blue sky, Dim with the vaporous haze of promised dawn; A bleak horizon softened by a veil Of shifting smoke; oppressing, br-athless, silence Until a dull red shadow,——soft suffused. Outshines the star, pale shrinking in the east, And morning breaks upon a shell-like cloud Aglow with roseate amber, like a Pearl. —Adelia M. Pepper A.
