U. 25; Home 1165 Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, Lawrence. FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1913. For fools rush in where angels fear to tread.-Pope. ONE STEP NEARER THE GOAL At last the mill tax is before the legislature, one step more than the proposition ever advanced before in this state, although it has been discussed for several years. Will it get any further? Probably not. But it is some satisfaction to know that the majority of the legislature seem to favor it. The reports of students who have talked with legislators, the letters from members of both houses, and remarks made by them to various persons since the session began—all point to a favorable consideration of the matter if it could once come to a vote on its merits. But there are eight proposed amendments to the state constitution asking to be submitted this year. Only three of them can be put through at one session. The three that will be chosen are not likely to include the mill tax. And yet, let us hope to the end. The idea must eventually win because it is right, as well as plausible and expedient. Keep fighting. An applicant for membership in the Swimming Club is required to swim fifty feet in twelve seconds. This sounds like a fish story. Alas, poor Yorick! Skull and K has joined the list of undergrad organizations posing for the photographer now. Dr. Crumbine says that "one large pock on the arm is better than many small pocks on the face." It seems to us that in either event it is a case of "Pocks Vobiscum." PREPARE TO LIVE HEREAFTEP A former University student, now a member of the faculty of the University of Illinois writes, "If you could only take a walk with me around the campus here and see the class memorials that may be found every little way—cement seats, fountains, sun-dial, ornamental gate etc—you would redouble your efforts to get the classes at Kansas to wake up and do something." The Daily Kansan believes that the classes at Kansas have waked up and are doing something. We don't like to speak disrespectfully of those who have "passed on" but the lack of any memorials on the campus now is a huge monument of discredit to the former graduating classes. If the classes now here do not wish the Daily Kansan of the future years to have to comment thus sadly on their shortcomings let them seize their opportunities now. The movements already started should not stand still a day. One K. U. coed wants her annual picture back. Better see the photograph that took it. The girl's textile class has "been washing woolen goods in the shape of sweaters." Wonder what kind of garments they really were? "OURS BUT TO DO AND DIE." Another lap of the race almost run! The pace has been killing at times but most of us are still hoping to stay in to the finish. Win or lose, we propose to go down the home stretch "strong," and we don't intend to let anybody question our amateur standing. The pace has been killing at times, Let's hit the line hard next week, in the hope that we can all score at a least "safety." The Darning Bureau wants sox brought to the Y. W. C. A. rest room. They'll do the rest. BELONG TO THE EARLY BIRDS Good morning classmate, it's February 1, and you're find fifty cents for not being found with the goods—namely a Jayhawker ticket. If you don't wish your name to appear in the record that way, improve in the flying moments of the thirty-first day of January by getting inside the tariff wall, dodging the war tax, or in other words, negotiating for an Annual ticket. You save fifty cents and it's worth another fifty to have that virtuous feeling all the rest of the year. The swimming club is now a full-grown affair. Seems to us we've heard of the Big Stick before. And we wish that Miss Nowell would give some lessons to the laundry. We hate to stick the boss for more than seven shirts a week. Final exams may cast a shadow on some brilliant studies, but this department is so much in the dark that they make a light like a pair of full dress gloves. For every girl that's lonely there's a boy that's lonely too, but the question is, if they got together, wouldn't they be as apt to scrap as anything else. Tomorrow the "Unearned Increment" takes effect. Come again, Mr. Stevenson. Come again. The picture should be returned to the fair coed. Said she didn't have her hair on straight. Would like to borrow that week's suspension from one of the Masquers. We are in violent need of about a month's sleep. And I, too, sing the song of all creation. A brave sky and a glad wind blowing by. A clear train and an hour for meditation. A long day and the joy to make it fly. A hard task and the muscle to achieve it. A good strife and no great regret to leave it. A still night and the far red rights of home. —Anonymous. A SONG Dean Crumbine Says The best spring blood medicine— work! The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its reader. Contributions welcome—The Editor. OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE A PRAYER. These are the gifts I ask of thee, Spirit serene— God cheer to help me bear the traveler's load; Strength for the daily task Strength for the daily task Courage to face the road; An inward joy in al things heard and seen, Scorn of the lowly, envy of the great; Malice and cold disdain; Hot anger, sullen hate; And for the hours of rest that come between, Thees are the sins l. fain would have thee take away.— And discontent that casts a shadow gray On all the brightness of a common day. -Henry Van Dyke. Talker—Why do you say Smith is such a patriotic man? THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE Walker—Because he won't even express an opinion any more.
