W. Y. MORGAN URGES VOTES FOR WOMEN
Former Regent Declares That Deadlier Sex Should Have the Ballot
FIGHTS A PREJUDICED IDEA
Says Kansas Should Not Allow Ladies Home Journal to do its Thinking on Equal Suffrage.
“If the menon Kansas fail to pass the amendment giving the women of Kansas the right to vote this fall, it will be due to prejudice,” declared W. Y. Morgan, in speaking in chapel this morning in behalf of woman suffrage.
Mr. Morgan needs no introduction to University students. He is a former member of the Board of Regents, and, according to Chancellor Strong's note, has not more loyal alumnus than W. Y. Morgan, of the class og "85."
"The great issue in Kansas politics this fall is not who shall be president or United States senator, but whether or not we shall let the Ladies vote on it." We are deciding in deciding about the right of Kansas women to equal suffrage.
"The right to vote is not a privilege, but a right, and the fight being made by the right to vote must end the right to vote is but one phase of the fight being made these days
against special privilege of all kinds.
All the logic, all the argument, is on
the side of woman suffrage. Wherever
women now have the right to
 vote no reputable newspaper, no reputable judge, dares to say that it has
not been for the best.
"The Ladies Home Journal says the woman's place is in the home; we agree, but maintain that the right to vote will not take woman from her place in the home, but will enable and dignify the homemaker's place. The man's place is in the office; the woman in the home is largely responsible for the education and training of our children; I see no inequality between the responsibilities of the two; why then inequality in the right to have a voice in making the laws that care for our children?
"Contrary to the argument that women won't vote even if you give them the right, is the fact that they do vote wherever they are given the right, and in equal proportion to the men," he said. Rodrigo last year came from the women which is about the per centage of women to the whole population.
"The movement for woman's suffrage is world wide; in two years I predict it will be in force everywhere. Will the men of Kansas sit on the fence and let the bandwagon go by, or will they get out this fall and head it, or even get up one of their own?"
Mr. Morgan is spending a week throughout the state in the interest of women suffrage. Yesterday he spoke at the Emporia Normal, and speaks today at Baker and tomorrow at Manhattan.
Roy Stockwell, secretary of the University Y. M. C. A., left this afternoon for St. Joe, Mo., to visit friends. He will return for the meeting of the association Sunday afternoon.
Dean Johnston of the School of Education will speak at the Y. M. C. A. meeting Sunday afternoon at three o'clock in Myers hall. His subject will be "Fuzzy Notions of Student Morals."
Washburn Captain on Campus. A. C. Tomlinson, captain of the Washburn football team, is visiting at the Sigma Nu house over the week-end.
TWO PROFESSORS SPEAK
TODAY AT MANHATTAN
Two University of Kansas professors spoke today before the annual meeting of the Kansas Gas, Water, Electric Light and Street Railway Association, which opened yesterday the subject of Prof. George Shaad in Manhattan. "Depreciation" was this morning, and this afternoon P. F. Walker spoke on "The Natural Gas Situation" and "Gas Meter Peculiarities" the lectures were delivered in the Electris theater.

OLD TIMERS CLASH WITH K. U. BOOTERS
Kansas Soccer Team to Clash With British-Americans Saturday Afternoon
"Old timers vs. Youngsters" might well be the title of the contest to be staged between Coach Root's Kickers and the British-American Team of Kansas City. The British-Americans are composed of a bunch of ex-soccer stars, many of whom have played in England and Canada. Up to this point the aggregation hailing under two nationalities has returned victor in ever contest. At present they own the championship of Kansas City. If they still hill a big step in their stride toward the championship of the Middle West. However, Root's youngsters are expecting to put a son to their march.
The soccer team held the last scrummage yesterday in preparation for the game to be played tomorrow afternoon. Fifteen men were out and Coach Root instructed Coach Root that the team is in good condition for the hard game Saturday.

UNIVERSITY TAFT CLUB
HOLDS MEETING
The University of Kansas taft club met last night the Sigma Aphelia Epsilon house, and the meeting was attended by an enthusiastic lot of Taft men of the University.
At first it was thought that there were not enough "Stand Patters" in the University to justify the formation of such an organization, but the first canvass disclosed a surprising number of junior Republicans, many of whom were unable to attend the meeting last night.
Some interesting talks were given by Thomas Harley, president of the Republican League of Douglas county, and Harry Alphin, a Lawrence attorney, concerning the National Republican convention. Plans for 'the future were discussed, after which the meeting was adjourned.
The main purpose of the organization is to ascertain the number of Taft supporters, bring them together, and encourage them to vote. It will co-operate with the Lawrence Taft club, which will enable its members to walks by a number of prominent and able speakers in the near future.
Mr. Clyde Davis, of Eskridge, is visiting his brother, Ben Davis, at the Sigma Nu house.
DR. KING TALKS TO STUDENTS MAY VOTE PHI BETA KAPPAS HERE FOR PRESIDENT
Contribution of Modern Science to the Ideal Interests His Subject
Dr. Henry Churchill King, president of Oberlin College, addressed a large audience yesterday afternoon in Fraser hall on "The Contribution of Modern Science to the Ideal Interests."
"Modern science has enormously increased the resources available to researchers."
"Fifty years ago men regarded the social problems of the day with a sort of helpless despair. But today, though these problems have greatly increased, men feel that there is a lack of knowledge at hand to solve them all. It is now only a question of the distribution of these resources.
"In the first place, the achievements of modern science have laid under tribute the inexhaustible forces and resources of nature. This has brought about a great increase of power and of wealth. Ninety per cent of the wealth of the United States has been created since 1850.
"Fuzzy Notions of Student Morals"
will be the subject of the address by C. H. Johnston of the School of Education to be delivered at the Y. M. C. meeting to be held in Myers hall Sunday afternoon at three o'clock.
"Our knowledge of the universe has increased in the same proportion. Modern science has given us a vision of a far larger, more significant world than our fathers ever conceived. In all three, power, wealth, and knowledge, modern science has made the resources sufficient to gain a man's life for every man—if we but knew how to use those resources." Dr. King asserted that our prodigious advancement along material lines is a constant temptation to us to be satisfied with material interests. To overcome this temptation, the ideal interests must be large enough and attractive enough to overrule the lower, material interests.
Frank Neshitt, a senior law, will spend the week-end at Oskaloosa on legal business.
Amendment to Kansas Statutes Allows Ballots to be Sent Home
If you are thinking of going back home the 5th of November to vote for "Feddy" "Woody." "Bill" Taft, or Debra, don't do it. Save these simoleons for the Turkey day game. You don't have to go home to vote. Patronize local voting booths. Be a booster.
According to an amended section of the Kansas election laws, any qualified voter may vote for any county, state, or national officer as he would at home by presenting himself at any voting precinct where he may reside and announce his intention of so voting. The county clerk in the county in which you are now residing will mail your votes home, so long as you haven't voted at any other precinct. Following is the law in the case as noted from the general statutes of the state.
Section 3312. It shall be lawful for any qualified elector of the state of Kansas, having qualified with the law in regard to legislation, where such legislation is required, who may on the occurrence of any general election be unavoidably absent from his township or ward, because his duties or occupation or business require him to be elsewhere in the state, outside the county in which he resides, to vote for county, district, or state officers, to serve as a district elector of vice president, or president of the United States, in any voting precinct where he may present himself for that purpose on the day of such election, under regulations prescribed by chapter 180 of laws of 1901, provided he shall not have voted in any other precinct on the same day.
MAKING THE FEATHERS FLY.
The next section provides that the county clerk of the county in which the vote is cast shall send the vote in an envelope to the home of the voter on the following day.
Prof. Price Lectures at Dodge City Prof. R. R. Price, of the University Extension Department, has gone to Dodge City, where he is to deliver a lecture tonight. Professor Price will return Monday.
Let 'em have the bloomin ballot; let them suffer if they will, let them vote for uplife movements, we'll help them out and pay the bill. The one real question now before us, one that really makes me quack; in the battle of tomorrow, we will clean up on old Drake? Let your politics and suffrage rest their lungs a day or so; bow your heads and heave a prayer, that the Lord will lay hawk hearts, push your psyche suggestions went their way to jay-whack hearts, push your heart to whooping it imparts, fills the air with joyous war-whoops, makes a half a dozen goals, keeps the Drake bunch on the sidelines busy plugging up the holes.

STUDENTS MAY WATCH DRAKE GAME AT HOME
Daily Kansan Will Give Free Bulletin Service in Chapel Saturday
For the benefit of the large number of students who have found it impossible to journey all the way up to Des Moines to see the Drake game, the Daily Kansas has arranged a guest account of the $g$ me by bulletins free.
A large sixteen foot football field will be erected on the stage in the chapel room, and on this chart a football will move back and forth as the reports of the scrimage come over the wire. In connection with this chart, bulletins will be read announcing every movement of the team.
A large crowd is expected and every student should take advantage of the opportunity extended by the Daily Kansan. Bulletins will begin to come soon after the o'clock, and the game will begin at three thirty.
An extra will be printed and delivered as soon as the game is over.
LAWS WILL BE GOOD
May no Longer Paddle Freshmen Who do Not Salute
The laws will "be good" from now on. No more cat calls for the freshmen as he passes the law school; no more demands that the humble freshman doff his abbreviated sky-piece to appease the lordly hater of the LLB's. It's "we're sorry and don't do it any more," for the laws.
For two days the customary gand of pipe-carryers and human chimneys that adorn the classic steps of Green hall have been basking in the Indian-summer haze and amusing themselves by paddling such of the freshmen, especially engineers, who pass without tipping their caps (if such a thing is possible) to the sons of Uncle Jimmy. Worse than that, to our amazement we confess it, they insist also on keeping time to the strolling steps of chapel "date" cases by gentle, seductive whities. Even their fellow laws are not exempt from this nighttime chorus, this canary bird ensemble (pronouncedahn—somple) from the steps.
For two days the freshmen have been standing insults, paddlings, et cetera from the laws (et cetera includes what we can't publish). Today especially were the insults the owls padding thicker, the owls louder. Our freshman carried away a red nose in his bandana handkerchief.
Then, shortly after chapel -this morning, the blow fell. Three hundred strong, an dailed by many of their* old enemies, the engineers, the freshmen gathered before Green hall and dared, begged and pleaded with the covering laws inside to come out and whistle. Headed by a valiant leader, the angry mob was storming the very doors of the building, when the venerable form of Uncle Jimmie appeared in the doorway.
Well may the laws venerate and adore Uncle Jimmie, for it was he who saved them today as he has on other occasions. In an eloquent appeal to the crowd, he promised that there would be no more cat calls, no more doffing of hats, no more insinations.
"An Engineer."
WILL BAG THE DRAKE SAY VARSITY COACHES
Are Confident of Bringing Back the Bacon From Northern Camp
TO UNCOVER MANY NEW PLAYS
Strength of Opponents and Crippled Condition of Team May Force Jay-hawkers to Use Everything.
BULLETIN.
Special to the Daily Kansas:
Des Moines, In., Oct. 18.
Drake is ready for the last hard scrimmage with the freshmen today. The team is fast and has been strengthened. Every player is in the best of condition and ready to put up a stubborn fight, with the best backfield in the history of the school. Drake is not overconfident, but expects to win. The field is in excellent condition.
The line up which will start the game is: Lansing, captain, quarter; Simons and McHenry, halves; Welsh and Wetherwax, ends; Crowell and McCornick, tackles; Strahm and Bilz, guards; Colville, center; Bunz, full.
What has Kansas been holding back to turn lose on Drake Saturday? It is evident that the wiley Mosse and the young Gopher, Frank have been keeping back something for just such a situation as faces the team in the Saturday fracas. With Brownlee, and Magill on the hospital list, and Miller and Martin the pick of the broken field runners out on account of ineligibility in their studies, many a coaching staff would show some doubt in regard to the outcome of such a contest but not so the Mosse-Frank combination. To all questions as to who will return the winner the Jayhawker coaching staff answer "Kansas" and with such assurance that it leaves no doubt in the mind of the questioner.
Up to this point the Kansas aggregation has used by six plays in each of the contests, and the athletes have entered the games with the instructions to hold back everything possible. In next Saturday's trial of the Kansas machine, it will probably be necessary to open up. Whether this will consist largely of a series of shift plays, or plays of the forward pass type, will all be known after the game.
Easy Workout in Final Practice.
The final practice was the lightest of the week. The men were all given an easy work-out which merely covered of light signal practice followed by a jog around the cinder track.
Both of the new recruits, Wilson and Bramwell were out and were chosen to accompany the team to Des Moines. Bramwell will probably replace Captain Browne at right end, as the captain is suffering from a badly bruised hand and is not expected to play the whole affair. Parker will start the game as quarterback in the place of Maghil. Otherwise, with the exception of Stuewe in the place of Miller at full, the line-up will be practically the same as that of the Warrensburg game.
The team, coaches and camp followers for the northern trip this morning on the nine o'clock train The following men are making the trip: Brownlee, captain, Weilmei, Daniels, Bramwell, Weidemann, Groff, Keelner, Coleman, Burnham, Hatcher, Tudor, i塞尔维, Milton, Parker, Magill, Wilson, Price, Coolidge, Detweiler, Holiday, Stuele, Bowran, Rambo and Householder. Wingart accompanied the team to report the game for the extra Kansan Saturday. The line-up that will start for Kansas will be as follows: Brownlee, captain, right end; Weideman, right tackle; Hatcher, right guard; Milton, center; Burnham, left guard; Groft, left tackle; Weildein, left end; Parker, quarter back; Price, right half; Detweiler, left half and Stuele, Rambo or Bowran, fullback.
