The big wind being made about the smoke eit at Kinnam City should at least, keep the smoke moving.
THE PRIMARY LAW AND THE UNIVERSITY
Friends of the educational institutions of Kansas will watch with interest the attempt being made in the legislature to repeal the present primary law and to place the system of nomination in the hands of party conventions. Such a change is of vital importance to the educational institutions, since under the present system those who are at the head of our schools hold their offices through appointment by politically chosen officials.
The friends of education will be opposed to the change for several reasons. In the first place, they will not wish to see the candidates for governor selected by politically controlled conventions. Men selected in this manner might not always be agreeable to the best interests of education.
The governor, under the present system, is intrusted with the power to appoint the members of the board of administration. And the board of administration, among other things, has the power to appoint the heads of the various schools of the State Friends of education will want to have some say for this reason in the selection of candidates for governor. They will desire also a part in the selection of candidates for the Board of Regents if that method of control for the state schools is adopted and its membership is made elective.
For the best interests of our educational institutions, at least, the president primary law should be retained
If the law is repealed, the educational institutions will have to enter the conventions in order to protect their own interests. But education, educational institutions, and politics do not mix, as recent developments within our own state have shown.
College wrestlers throughout the country are planning to organize a wrestling fraternity. No doubt some of the initiation requirements will be cauliflower earn, at least two broccoli rises, a twisted knee, more broken car or more times, and the applicant to have made weight not less than six times.
DEATH TO EMBEZZLERS?
Missouri legislators are determined to curb exdezulters with more stringent laws. This august body even threatens a death penalty law for enbanking bank officials. The bill will go up on its third roading and the personal motion is that it will be passed with little or no objection.
Legislators believe that it will make bank officials more careful of the trust which is placed in them by the people who deposit their funds in the keeping of the bank. Some of the legislators even suggest hanging embezzlers until they are dead. This is another law with teeth in it. We are wondering whether this law will be any more rigidly enforced than some other laws armed with teeth which are now on state statute books. Many of these laws are never given a chance to work, although there is plenty of material.
This, one of the most drastic measures ever before the Missouri legislature, is a severe indictment against the bankers of the state. Representative Dawson, of St. Louis, says enmuzzlers are no better than murderer and that they should be treated as such.
If anyone doubts that money, or trade, business or commercial advance—any name you wish, is not the ruller factor in international relations today, let him consider the claim conference.
OPIUM GOLD
Here are representatives of the United States, Japan, China, and other countries not for one of the most worldwide purposes for which men ever assembled. However, the mere fact that certain English commercial interests in the Far East, Dutch interests in Java, and business concerns elsewhere would be deceived of a fat profit if opium out is sufficient to keep spumm from being
The wolfse of hundreds of thousands of poor "devils"—foothold and otherwise—who become enslaved to this terrible drunk is of no importance in deciding the question, "Is it many that tails?" in the opium conferences so far.
It surely must be interesting to Christian peoples to read that 200 of their brethren in China were beheaded because they refused to grow poppies, from which opium is made. Of course, white business men did not wield the sword, but economic pressure brought to bear upon unconscious Chinese officials had this same effect.
Not only in opinion a message to its users, to those who produce it and reproduce it, but it is a mihry good medium by which to directr the work of Christian missionary in the Orient. The possible reactions of a rising Asia to white man's worship of gold at Asia's expense is something else it might be well (or think of seriously).
Considered from all angles there is but one answer, "Opium must go."
Tommy Dixon says that bating is one sport where the effects of training are most noticeable. Any booster will and to this that the effects of not training are even more noticeable
OUR INADQUATE LAWS
Peculiar customs existed during the Middle Ages. An ane which had accidentally killed its owner was given a trial by jury in a public court. It was found guilty and sentenced to be thrown in a river.
But today an inanimate object can isolate the law and get away with it. What about the jar of plums or bottle of prune juice that violates the Voluntad act? Should it not receive some punishment? Why wont it get in the stomach of some good citizen and punish him for it?
Last spring, at commencement time, an old pred on the campus stopped to watch the procession go by. As they passed, he noticed the various dress, suits, and appared worn by the faculty. Striking his chin a few times he remarked, "If they would put a boy on a donkey, and give him a horn, people would think Crayton's Army was invading Lawrence.
Failing in an effort to bribe a few students to distribute among their associates samples of patient medicine, the concern has defied the requests of University authorities that communal enterprises keep away from the library and are established a stand as close to the campus as the law would permit.
Commercialism has invaded the hill in a new way and in a way which is so braseted as to be disengaging. A patent medicine concern is attempt-ment by customers by distributing samples of the air at the entrance to the campus.
Campus Opinion
Since there is apparently no way to keep such kests away from the hill the only resource recue on students to extinguish them is the explication is to ignore the invader and by refusing their patronage defeat the purpose of their presence

The abolition of Oklahoma state schools will take place if a bill before the Oklahoma state legislature the Wilkinson School of Medicine at Mount St. Mary's college and Tyler college at Lawson, Tachimono, and Warrior would be wiped out.
Student social conditions on and off the campus are being investigated by a committee of welfare counsellors at the University of California.

A new system of privileges for the women students was initiated at Knox College at the beginning of the second semester this year. This method permits girls to stay all night in town by turning in the name of the hostess and her address. The system also allows class barking and expulsion is recommended for girls who overtax their granted privileges.
The women of the University of Minnesota have been warned against smoking by Dr. Anthony Zebely, a professor in the department of physics. The smoking by women on the campus is the problem and the authorities fear that it will increase and they are using various means to curb it.
In order to increase interest in them, the students of the University of California are holding a correspondence chess tournament with the California State University days will be sent from the two teams post cards mailed each day.
