THOSE MISSING NUMBERS
The Daily Kansan begs to report that the two days passed by the board in listening to the papers and discussions at the meeting of the state editorial association in Topeka were profitable days. Since the meeting of the editors at the University last year the Daily Kansan appreciates its privilege of mixing once a year with the Old Boys in Kansas journalism, and the members of the board trust that their renewed enthusiasm may enable them to make up to their readers for the issues of Monday and Tuesday which were missed while the board gathered wisdom from the Big Brothers who have preceded us on the firing line.
Cheer up, undergrads. Even Charles Sessions and some of the other Kansas editors can't understand some of the Daily Kansan headlines.
Some bright young student mathematician really should figure out for us just how far off those exams are.
THOSE MASQUERS
The action of the Student Council in the case of ineligible students who participated in the Masque club play has at last been made public. We do not blame the council for hesitating in having its action made known, however. In several ways the ruling in the case fails to be a punishment. Two of the students were suspended for one week, the suspension to take effect February 17. This is a good way to give the students a week vacation without affecting them in the least. If a rule is to be effective it should operate immediately. If students knew they were violating a University ruling, they should be punished and not played with, for, if they are not, the force of the ruling will be of no avail.
The students who were barred from taking part in school activities in the future will be affected more by the ruling than the suspended student. It is a hard thing for a talented student to keep away from the plays, Glee club, and other organizations and to be barred from such activities will have its sting, much more so than the rule of suspension.
The real reason for the ineffectiveness of the ruling is the delay in the action of the council. Had immediate steps been taken in the case an act could have gone into effect as soon as it was made.
And we really think that those gay puns about "that darn bureau" and the "hole darn business" should be retired.
The co-eds' darning bureau is under way at last. It should have the hole business of the campus.
NOMINATED FOR 1914.
Our candidate for governor in 1914 is W. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson. He is a small man but large enough in brain, honesty and experience to fill the most important office in the state. He wore his Republicanism straight enough to make a clear open fight for the whole Republican ticket, including Taft, Stubbs, Capper and all the state candidates, regardless of what his preference may have been before the nomination. He would not have the enmity of either faction of the Republican party. Another element which will be greatly in evidence at the next election will be the women's vote. Billy Morgan is in good there and would receive enthusiastic support. In addition to all this there is no man in Kansas better qualified for the office governor than W. Y. Morgan—Marysia News.
There's no finer gentleman on earth than Bill Morgan and if he will run for governor he will be Kansas' choice - Abilene Reflector.
It's all right down this way, boys. Billy Morgan can get more votes in Harvey county than any man we know of, at least such would be the case if an election could be held before New Year's day. He is a man who knows things, one whom it is a delight to know—Evening Kansas Republican.
Billy Morgan will carry K. U. 2403 plus 212.
And the last piece of advice we would leave with you this afternoon is that brief phrase which the newspapers overwork before Christmas: CRAM EARLY!

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
But what if I fail of my purpose here!
It is but to keep the nerves at strain.
To dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall.
And, baffled, get up and begin again—
So the chase take up one's life, that all.
LIFE'S PURPOSE.
Robert Browning.
WOULD HAVE WIT
BATTLE WITH BEAUTY
To the Kansan:
Since the University of Kansas has a girl's Debating Club, why not match them against the men in this activity? Such a debate would be very interesting, especially if the subject chosen were one such as, "Resolved, That the recent suffrage amendment will be of any practical benefit to the women of Kansas." There is no logical reason why women should not compete in this activity. In high school days girls took part in debates, and were very good, too. Why not do it here? If women intend to take their rightful position in the state as well as in the home, there is no better opportunity than that offered in the discussion of vital questions in a debate.
I earnestly think if the Daily Kansan should start a column of questions and answers dealing with problems that are met with while in the University, as everything pertaining to behavior, or to the rules and regulations of the University, and beauty recipes, (for the boys as well as the girls), it would meet with great success. Also I think it would be read by all students, and meet with as much response and enthusiasm as the Laura Jean Libbey articles
S. L. H
The Kansan will gladly print any challenge the girls may make to the two debating societies.
TOO MUCH HOME TALENT?
Editor Daily Kansan:
The object of each club would be to get the greatest number of its members on the cast of the big play and this would be the foundation for rivalry among them. Each club could train its members in little plays given only before the club itself. This would encourage the three to work harder and in the end the talent would be of the best possible. A skilled director could be procured to select the cast and put on the play. More enthusiasm and interest would be aroused on the part of the actor as well as the student body. And it is safe to say that the proceeds would greatly enlarge whatever fund was to be benefitted.
fitted F.
SURE!
A. L.
Have we too much home talent plays during the year? There are three dramatic clubs in the University, Red Domino, The斯平 and Masque. Each vies with the others in giving the best performance and as a rule the club which gives the first performance of the year is the only one which makes money, the others going in the hole. If there was only one play given a year the interest of the students is more intense, an energy and much could be spent on the production. A good plan which has been greeted is that the members of the three clubs unite in giving one good play during the year and the proceeds be given to the Women's Dormitory, or some scholarship fund.
Editor Daily Kansan:
