'THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
lawrence, Kansas
Phone—K. U. 26 and 66
FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1924
The Daily Karen arena aims to picture the lives of students and families in Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals of freedom, justice, and equality; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be curious; to have more serious problems to widen heads; to develop better ability at the students of the University.
Beside the olive branch and the dove, now rests the peace pipe, the peace ship and the peace plan.
EXPLODING IDEALS
The State of Kansas in attempting to suppress the American Mercury, the magazine in which Nathan and Mencken say what they please, because it gave a few shady details on the Life of John Brown, held as one of the two most eminent Kansans, shows one principal: That great men are not renowned for their all acts, for their pure life, or the exemplifying of all good, but because they represent our ideals in one or two lines. Their lives may have been far from perfect in other ways.
Washington and the hatchet episode are held up to children as an example of truth, yet the whole story has been disproved. History says the incident never occurred. Lincoln was known to bribe men to accomplish ends, which may have been justifiable; yet we are not told about the principal that was broken. Shakespeare, Napoleon, Wilson, Rosevell had their faults, and were perhaps not as great as some other men that have lived, but because press agents, appointed or self-appointed, were more active than other men they remain as our heroes.
John Brown may have stolen horses, and done other things attributed to him by the American Mercury. To Kansas he is an enabling ideal of the things Kansas fought for, namely, the emancipation of slaves in the United States.
There is no need of suppressing a paper that tells the truth, even though it explodes an ideal, for the children whom it would harm do not read the American Mercury. Older persons should be elevated above the Santa Claus stage and hold ideals without the statue of Brown to stimulate their imagination.
President Coolidge is to quit his early walks. At that he lasted longer than most of us who started to take laps before breakfast or playing a game of tennis before dawn.
GREAT AND NEAR-GREAT
It is strange that the men who are entitled to move about in the lime-light prefer to remain quietly at home and to tend their tiny farms or gardens. There is the case of M. Clementeau, whose word once made the world sit up and listen, for 'The Tiger' once almost as much as France as did the French Revolution. He prefers to tend his plants and write far from the row of Parisian streets.
Across the channel is Rudyard Kipling, who has carried a world of readers through the forests of India, into the battles of a dozen deserts, and wherever there was action. The famous author stays at home and fishes. He sees no glory in parading before the admiring thrombs.
Anton Lang learned the lesson that comes to he who strays from his native heath. The world will reverence the unknown man forever, but soon loses confidence with familiarity. It will take Lang years to live down his visit to America, for the Lang of the tiny Alpine village appears far different from the one who touches the world, regardless of the character of his mission.
The near-great are the ones who plunge into the thickest of the crowds and seek glory which is not theirs. A fighter knocks out an opponent and
straightway looks for the bright lights. Actresses, actors, politicians, statesmen, and students, strive for popularity and are soon forgotten, because they do not know that to remain in the public eye one must do something worth while.
They certainly ought to carry everything out to the letter at a postmasters' convention.
THE THUNDERING THOUSANDS
The Nobraska Cornhawkers came down from the land of W. J. Bryan, yesterday afternoon to grab off their annual victory from our track team. Not since 1916 has the Jayhawker crew been able to claim victory from the northerners. If school spirit and school loyalty had anything to do with Kansas winning, the Jayhawkers did not have a chance. A more handful set in the stadium.
The weather was cold and it threatened to rain at times, but what is a rain at a football game? Nothing. It is a rain that it is impossible for the student body of Kansas to understand that track is a major sport. The Cornhuskers can go back to Lincoln where the students are not dignified or high 'coffinik' to turn out and support their team, and report that we can't sorrow down from the clouds here at M. Orland long enough to see a few races. So we sit up on our self-ejected thrones and wait for the world to view us and wonder, instead of going down to support a good track team.

WE'RE NOT MONOTONOUS
WE'RE NOT MONOTONOUS
Daily we are becoming convinced that the Great American Public isn't what it's cracked up to be. A survey of the mail which comes to the Kansas editorial office seems to indicate that the student public of the state university of our great common wealth isn't much better.
We don't know enough to stand up for the national anthem, is one accusation. And maybe we don't. But another letter accuses us of blind nationalism and a warped sense of conventional patriotism.
We're a batch of prudes inter-
spered with a few bollobishevis, I
would seem from other student
contributors. Perhaps so.
We cramped and stunted by religious conventions, but on the other hand we're a Godless lot of young infidels bound for a smash-up of some sort. Strange, but evidently true. What's to come of us nobody seems able to prophecy exactly. But at least, motley crew thought we are, we're not monotonous.
On Other Hills
A municipal college is being planned for Wichita that the sponsors of the project hope will in a short time rival the state university, with an enrollment of several thousands. The project will probably be Fairmount will probably be consolidated with it, as John D. Finlayson, the president, has expressed himself as in favor of the project. Friends University, however, could not be convinced that this would violate the terms of the will of the donor of the school.
A field trip to acquaint journalism students with the fundamentals of staff correspondence is being planned for the School of Journalism of the University of Missouri. The student will visit two field trips and will travel over 7,000 miles.
In connection with the Byron Centennial, the University of Texas has an exhibition of first editions of practically all his books published during his lifetime, and letters and manuscripts written by him. Copies of forgeries and imitations of Byron are included in the exhibit.
Eight hours' credit will be given for the course, and each student will pay his own expenses on the trip. Arrangements are being made for the group to travel in two parties, divided as to sexes.
American students at the summer session of the University of Mexico are offered opportunities for special studies and for trips under trained guides to visit places of interest near the city. Courses are given in elementary, intermediate, and advanced Spanish in the history, geography,

"GENTLEMEN" said the Chem. Prof., at the end of the term, "You'll probably remember only one thing of all I've tried to teach you. And that is that Water is H₂O—and then you'll be wrong."
—It must be generous with its lather. It must be thick and creamy in cold water or hot.
Even shaving soap isn't always shaving soap. A correct shaving preparation like Williams' Shaving Cream must do a lot more than simply make a lather.
—It must hold its moisture. Williams' will not "freeze" dry on your face.
—It must soften your beard right down to the very roots.
It must prepare your face for quick, gentle shaving. Williams' is so pure and wholesome that it actually helps the most tender skin.
The old contention that women are the best talkers was proved again recently in a debate between a Vassar College team and a Princeton University team. The judges gave the women the victory by a decision of 2 to 1.

WHY we chose the name Campus Togs for our clothes
Despite the fact that for twenty-five years we made our clothes and then under the label, Chas. Kaufman & Broa', we chose the name Campbell as the brand name of our clothing.
For the past ten years we have featured Campus Togs as the trade label for our clothes. It seemed to us significant as a name that would indicate clothes designed and proportioned to please discriminating men. If also signifies in dress the breeze and smartness that the young man or college student is wearing, his hair and which suit him in the most cost at least from the standpoint of being youthful and making the best of his age in his appearance.
To also put youthful appearance into clothes for older men, was the new feature for our designing department to work out successfully, and in its achievement we confidently present clothes to the world, for all men, which measure up to the significance of the trade name we have chosen.
A broad variety of packers, plains, batts,
etc., to it be variety under these three
categories. Preference for the more subdued tuits
in wodens previews this Spring.
