DON'T FORGET THEM NOW
The Kansas Glee Club, champion of the valley, will be facing the biggest test of its existence Saturday night when it prepares to compete with the other finest glee clubs in the country for the national championship.
Before they left, enthusiasm ran high. Everyone wanted to help finance the trip, every person had a word of encouragement and when they got on the train, a crowd was there to send them away.
Now that they are so far away, let us forget not forget the club members. They need encouragement now the same as they did at home and in Wichita. Keep on boosting the club, and let them know every one here at Lawrence is pulling for them Saturday night and has confidence in their ability to win.
THEATER REFORM
"Runs on Wet Platform," says a headline. The story of the gift is, presumably, that the accident victim only received a broken leg.
"If you could make people good by acts of legislation, the American people would be chemically pure."
This is, the statement made by Channing Pollock, author and playwright, at a dinner at which the theater and the church agreed to get together on a plan of reform.
Mr. Pollock went on to say that nothing is to be accomplished by ceremonies and that the only way to a better theater is through better audiences.
The theater can do not a little in making better audiences. It does not have to feed the public productions of low quality, for it has been proven that if high class productions are offered to the theater-going public the public will come to appreciate them much more than the cheap offerings, so many of which are now going the rounds of the country.
There is, however, considerable truth in Mr. Pollack's statement concerning censorship. Not until a motion picture or stage production has sunk so low that it is scarcely fit to be presented in public the authorities interfere. That comes from the general feeling that we know what we want, and we do not want any one else trying to dictate what that shall be.
Right here in Kansas we have an example of ineffective censorship. Not many years ago, this state was noted for its strict censorship, and nearby states displayed the soul of the Kansas censor board to indicate that the production was of high quality. Now one hears so little of the board of censors that there are probably many who do not know we have such a body. The more objective parts of pictures are cut out, according to a statement by a former member, but exhibitors put them back in as soon as they leave the censor board, and Kansas sees all that they see in Missouri, where they have no censorship.
The church and the theater have tried fighting long enough. That method has been unsuccessful. Now it will be interesting to see what cooperation will accomplish.
One argument against chineses as a class memorial is that there would be one more clock on the campus to be off-time.
OUT OF THE ASHES
Now that the Ku Klux Klan has passed well along on the way of "The Vanishing American" and has ceased to exist except in the minds of the members, there has arisen a new menace to social harmony.
The Supreme Kingdom, an organization that has as its aim the extinction of every vestigion of evolution, athletics or revolutionary teaching in the schools of the world, is the latest product of the agile mind of Edward Young Clarke, the man who put over the Ku Kuz Khan, only to have it to II. W. Fvrm.
The prerequisites to membership in the new order are a belief in the "old time religion" and a $10 bill don't forget the bill. Already the organization has demanded the resignation of Prof. Edward Linton of the University of Georgia and plans are under way for doing away with others.
This movement is not one to be dismissed with a laugh. It is a serious uprising of a nature, which if fanned to the proper pitch of fanaticism, may prove a great barrier to the rapid advancement of education. Backed as it is, not on racial but religious strife, its life may be longer than that of the Klan.
It seems strange indeed that serious people could so easily fall the prey of such schemers as Clarke, but such is the case. We can only do all within our power to spread the real truths to people who are working as seriously as they are ignorant. Although truth has often seemed to be hiberned, the veil has only proven to be one of clouds which the winds of wisdom must certainly sooner or later drive away. Truth cannot be killed by mere men, but it can be observed.

City authorities of Beaver City, Neb., have decided that playing checker is a sport, and have banned this pastime in the public park on Sunday. We still maintain that checker playing is a disease, Nebraska authority to the contrary notwithstanding.
At the Concert
By Biriam McCieland
Convivating the audience from the
formal room to perform on
pure charm and sweetness of
personality and graciousness of manner.
Frieda Hiempel appeared in concert
last night in her Jenny Lind program.
She sang in a number of songs
which the "Swedish Nightingale"
wore. Madame Hiempel gave a program which was an exact replica of one used by Jenny Lind.
Bv. Miriam McClelland
Her first number, 'My Mother Bids Me Mind My Hair', by Hayden, left an impression which might be said to characterize the artist's work throughout her supreme artistry. Never for one moment during the concert, was she a great artist, rich gracious, and thoroughly enjoying her art.
Hamdel's "Oh! Had I Jubal's Lyre"
showcased clearly the distinct loveliness
of Muhme Hempel's decision, which
was filled with rounded, and
restored crisp.
The German group consisted of "Ave Maria," and "The Trout" by Schubert; "The Nut Tree" by Schumann; and "The Herdsman's Song," a Norwegian melody. Madame Hempel gave the latter, which is more commonly known as the "Echo Song" after the manner of Jerry Lind, who played her own accompaniment. Peterson sang any other, her presentation appeared labored in an effort to live up to the character she was imponanting.
Madame Hemple sang two numbers with flute obligato, "The Shadow Song" from "Dinorah," and "The Bird Song," which was compared expressly for Jenny Lind. In there two numbers one could detect the flute-like quality of the song's music, but reasons for her widely known characterizations as a second Jenny Lind.
The last two numbers on her regular program were a Seventeenth Century Easter Hymn, and "Home Sweet Home."
The latter was the best known and probably most famous number on her program. She sang it with a symphonic interpretation and depth of feeling which made the audience impere-
rant. The recording is a pure technique and quality of voice.
The same thing was noticeable in her encores, which were numerous, charming, and possibly more appropriate for her voice than her program. Her encores are very flirtatious; "pleased the audience by its melody, and the piquant charm of delivery," Her other encores were, "a Buteo cluck, a Cockee, a Old German folk song, "The Blue Danube," and "Way Down Upon the Sweneer River."
With the lovely velvety quality of
Madame Onegin's voice fresh in our minds, it was impossible not to notice the presence of a slight edge on the tone and the expressiveness of the latter's supreme artistry, and her unsurpassed taste of interpretation made the concert one of the most enlightening in the world.
VARSITY
Madame Hempei was assisted by Mr. Erno Balogh at the piano, and Mr. Louis P. Fritze, flautist, both of whom were in costume.
