WHY LINCOLN LIVES
H. G. Wells ranks Lincoln as one of the six greatest men in history. The other five are Jesus, Budda, Acko, Articule and Roger Bacon. According to this classification Lincoln is the most outstanding personality of the most five or six hundred years.
Well chose these men on the hail of influence on their generations and on future generations. He passes me up like Alexander, Caesar, Naiola, because their works crumbled after the death of each. They were conquerors who won and ruled by main force of arms. The men Well selected ruled by force of characers and intellect.
It would be beside the point to argue whether Welle's choice was sound on population. It is a problem of unusual difficulty to glance down the pages of history and pick out the half dozen outstanding men from them. But it is not necessary to take Welle' opinion for a present day estimate of Lincoln. The judgment of the masses is inferior to the judgment of any individual.
It is the great body of mankind that is in touch with reality. It is this body that knows what is best for its needs. and Lincoln's fame rests on his influence. He was like a child, who learns to look children look up to him trustingly.
During the world war bipolarities of Lincoln had greatly increased sales, not only in this country, but abroad. The poor, downdropped people and a vague feeling that they were being duped. They had best confidence in many of their leaders, fearful that these leaders were acting for selfish motives. At such a time, the simple virtues of Lincoln made a great appeal. There was a longing for one like him to arrive again.
A legend has sprung about the Lincoln tradition, just as it springs about any man for the people. But the existence of this legend, the desire of the masses to magnify incidents in their hero's life, are proof of their implicit faith in his ideas. The manner in which he died brightened the halo about him. It made him a martyr.
Discounting the myth and the fortuitous circumstances of his rise, enough still remains of Lincoln's fame to mark him as one of the foremost personalities of the age, and to assure its endurance long after the renowned of conquerors, acting to gratify personal ambition, will have evaporated.
A timorous freshman thinks there should be traffic rules for goofed maidens. "I don't know which way to turn," he sighs, "when I see them coming."
THE END OF THE TETHER
The theater situation has been getting worse and worse this year. Few worthwhile plays have come to the city, and the vaudeville companies that came were—to put it mildly—pretty bad. A few good movies have appeared here, but they were exceptions to the general rule.
On top of this, the prices for the shows have been hiked, so that a ten-cent movie which we saw before for 28 cents now costs 40 cents.
A college town deserves the best that the dramatic arts can produce. If little or nothing is presented, one phase of the students' educational process lasses—not only educational, but also cultural and recreational,
Students usually will object to the alic prices, but they object more strongly if they get very little for their money, and most strongly if nothing at all comes here.
Another evil of the Lawrence theater is that many of the good shows come on week days while on Friday and Saturday the showings are noncene or worse. Naturally, the students have time to go on weekends, and the presumption is that they will go to see anything then, while it takes a special indebtedment to get them out on other days.
The studios is a dull and put on animal. He can stand a bit of alic but best his patience has lain. Even when he remees most miserformed and mooch, he is taking a bit of his pursuits, and making more notes that will, at some time find expression. This is one of times
In general, the business relations between students and townships are quite cordial. They should be thus. But would students like to have a few deserts, presentable and intoxic pictures and a few good read skins once in a while. They feel entitled to them.
The thieves of Kansas City must be going to clean houses. They steal 82 Hoover Vacuum Cleaners there Sunday night.
GOOD ROADS IN KANSAS
Kannan is in the only state in the Union which cannot build or maintain roads. Under the present constitution, the state can pay for 22 percent of the cost of roads, but not cent for their unplease. According to the Federal Aid Law, Kannan will be federal aid after New Hampshire falls into state funds. At present federal aid with state funds. At present federal aid is matched by county and benefit ditraits, which are constructing highways by taxing the property in their districts.
Thus, some of the counties which are more thickly populated and wealthy can build improved roads, but the poorer ones will have to walk or go without. Under this plan, the state could never acquire a complete connected system of roads.
At present there are about 800 miles of gravel and paved road in the state. It needs 10,000. The lay of the land is particularly adapted to production of highway many states have natural advantage to overcome.
The only way to secure a state system, to be built and maintained by the state from automobile fees and the gasoline tax, is to amend the state constitution. This amendment would be submitted by the present state legislature and voted on by the people at the election of November 1926. This would be the only legal way to set a state system.
EXTREMES MEET
Systems of grading used by University of Kansas professors have almost as many variations as there are professors on the campus. The extremes in these meet at one point, hat is, in being unfair to the students.
When applied too rigid, the curve of probability bared on the assumption that in the long run there will be a certain percentage of “A” students, about an equal number of “B”, a number of “B” grade students balanced by those deserving “D”, while in the center will be the majority who earn “C”， becomes improbable. The educational thinkers who worked this out stressed the phrase in the long run. If this is overlooked, as it often is, and the rule taken to apply to each individual class each semester, it is unfair.
“Yam really deserved a ‘B’,” says the professor who uses the formula like an infallible measure, “but my quota of ‘B’ in that group were taken up, so you fell into the ‘C’ class.” And the student wishes he had taken the course the semester before when there happened to be a smaller percentage of serious students. In that semester he would probably have rated an “A.”
At the other extreme is the type of professor, (there is at least one on the Hill), who announces at the beginning of the semester that the college student who known enough about
DePriest Gladiati, of Italy, is planning on being a centenarian. He is now 92 years old and has just signed a lease on his apartment for another 56 years, saying that he didn't want to be bothered constantly with recovering leaves.
his subject to earn an "A" is rare, and therefore all "grade-seekers" should withdraw at once. He obviously refuses to recognize that rule which his colleague across the globe has been taught but which "in the long run" has proven fair and acceptable to both teachers and students.

What THE DANGER LINE means to you
If you will look in a mirror, you will see a tiny V-shaped crevice around each tooth where it joins the gums. This is The Danger Line. Food particles lodge there and ferment, forming acids which lead to Acid Decay. The bacteria also become irritated and sore--perhaps recording from the teeth. Then you have conditions favorable to Pyrohure.
Serious diseases often result from infection due to Acid Decay at The Danger Line. Heart and kidney trouble and rheumatism are among them.
Make The Danger Line safe
Squibb's Dental Cream, because it is made with Squibb's Milk of Magnesia, protects against Acid Decay, relieves conditions favorable to Pyrothera, cleans and polishes beautifully and protects for hours after use.
