Nature is better than a middling doctor.—From the Chinese.
KEEP TO THE WALKS.
During the summer, the places on the University lawn worn bare by the feet of the undergraduates, and professors too, were re-sold.
This fall the practice of cutting across the campus seems to have a firmer hold than ever. The only thing that could make a short cut across the lawn necessary would be a desire to get to class on time, and since the days of the whistle schedule, there is ample time to make a class with-out following a private, or semi-private path.
A few students following the same course each day will soon wear away the grass and leave a bare unsightly blotch upon the campus. Little thought is given by the offenders to the fact that the entire campus has been sodded in an effort to make the University a more beautiful place.
They keep to the lawn day after day until enough rain falls to make it so muddy as to be impassable. The water usually takes a cut-across path wearing it away sufficiently to make re-sodding necessary, which takes considerable time and labor.
The student should avoid walking across the lawn whenever possible. A half minute is all that can be gained by a short cut across the full length of the campus.
Keep to the cement—of course the walks are narrow but most of the walking can be done on them, or in the vicinity of them.
Since saying "Wages Are" yesterday we are living in constant fear of a communication quoting, "The Wages of Sin is Death."
Poets and song writers of the University should put their talent to work writing a new foottabil song. Leave contributions at the Daily Kansan office.
ILLEGAL VOTING.
Rules have been passed whereby the qualified voter in the coming class elections must have a certain number of credits.
Thus a man who has gone through his freshman year and received as many as twenty credits shall vote as a sophomore. And in case he has been in school two full years and has not yet received credit for twenty hours work he shall still vote as a freshman.
All of which is an obvious advantage as in the older days if an unclassed or special student were so minded, he might cast a vote in two or even all the classes unless the judges' suspicions were aroused, and in slang parlance, "get away with it."
Another phase of University politics that this rule will abolish is the stuffing of the ballot by voting illegally in a school in which the voter is not enrolled. Of course, this manner of cheating in election is rather difficult when the judges have a copy of the student directory, and it can be said to the credit of the institution that there has been very little of this.
Those students who have been so
unfortunate as to be barred from voting in the class in which they feel that they belong because of the number of years may feel that this rule is unjust. Just a little thought on the subject, however, should convince them of its fairness. The disqualified voters ought to consider how the matter would look from the point of view of "the other fellow."
"Student Ears Win State Fair Prizes" says a headline. The last field of preeminence of the humble donkey is thus usurped by higher education.
WHAT DOES HE MEAN?
WHAT DOES HE MEAN?
In a communication to the Daily Kansan yesterday, A. D. B., says the Jayhawker spirit is "bucking competition in the distraction of the 'town,' the 'nickels,' and many others." Now just what did he mean by "many others," and how many Kansas men ever attended a "nickel" while a football game was in progress?
And in our opinion, when there is a game, the "town" does not even attract, let alone distract.
Champ Clark will speak to the students of the University either October 10 or 11. The national figures of the day seem to regard this particular spot in Kansas as a sort of land mark
HAS HE SEEN YOU?
Who meets you with a child-like smile
And holds your hand for quite a while.
And shows affection without guile?

Who serves his class and loves his school
With deathless ardor naught can cool.
Of selfish cliques is ne'er the tool?

Who tells you with assurance bland That he alone of all the band Holds public questions in his hand?

Who brings a list of names to light And shows you where your own t

and if it doesn't make you or fight?

It is a pity that some scheme can't be found whereby new tunes may be disguised as well as old.

CUTTING CLASS.
Cutting classes might be defined as that undergraduate sport that makes irregular and special students.
A mummy gets blamed little satisfaction from 'winning the endurance prize.'—Atchison Globe.
Cutting a class is probably the most precarious sport in the University. Do it often enough and you will most likely be kept out of football longer than a broken collar bone could do it. Do it just a time or two too often, and a certain body known by the experienced as the eligibility committee will certainly call upon you and request that you keep out of all university activities other than athletic.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS
I like him who can ask boldly without impudence; he has faith in humanity, who has faith in himself, who has acustomed to give grandly can ask boldly.
GIVING AND ASKING
The manner of giving shows the character of the giver more than the self. There is a principally manner of giving, and of accepting—Lavater.
He who goes round about in his demands, commonly wants more than he wishes to appear to want. He who accepts crawling, will
He who accepts crawlingly, will give superciliously.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE

Contributions welcome. — The Editor.
SHE DWELT AMONG THE UN- TRODDEN WAYS.
A maid whom there were none to praise
She dwell among the untrodden ways
Beside the springs of Dove.
A violet by a mossy stone
A Voice to a Mosquito Half hidden from the eye! Fair as a star, when only one Is shining in the sky.
And very few to love:
She lived unknown, and few could know
When Luci ceased to be,
But she is in her grave, and, oh,
The difference to me!
When Lucy ceased to be;
But she is in box grave and

"Sure," said Mr. Freshe. "I wrot home asking the governor for an X and get nothing—Q. E. D."
