We are aware problems to water bodies; we are aware problems to water heads; we are aware to the best of our ability the children to the best of our ability the children.

"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable support."—George Washington
WHICH IS THE DEVIL?
Old Cotton Mother was bathed with the flood of holy light and gifted with the special privilege of sanctified criticism. In his mock religious zeal he expounded the Bible for six hours every Sunday, and hung a helpless old woman as a witch on Monday. Holier than thou, was his watchword; put me first, was his prayer. A few men of learning and cynical old pessimists try to spring the same old bunk on the youth of today.
Here is the mental picture portrayed by the critic of today. Down the campus of the modern college comes the hard drinking, dance crazy student of petting party fame. He passes by the festive lye of Virgil to syncope to the mournful strains of "Lovin' Papa." In his rush, he throws aside the veils of convention and grabs a suitable victim from the mass of rouge-stained, bobbied-haired gin drinking women who also room at large up near the campus. Arm in arm they go to the devil.
Does the guardian of the nation's morals ever cast a backward glance as he criticizes the present? Did America fall in the sinful days of the square dance and the Sunday afternoon stroll? Yet, critics of another day predicted that it would. The modern automobile gets the young folks home a lot quicker than the old surfer ever did. Of course there were angel boys in those days as there are today. Those purified young dears grew up to be the gosinning, muckraking, howing of today
They, like Cotton Mather, must find some way of getting rid of the oryxness born in them. Cotton hung n witch, and they d fame their neighbor's boy or girl. How much more sensible are the women of modern times than their mothers before them. The modern understands life, realizes that there is a world, and is capable of taking care of herself. Is she not better fitted for life than her pampered and pitted mother before her.
She may take a sip of gin, but she will not spend her declining days in ripping someone's character to pieces. The youth of today may dance through college, but they will never be known to faint when somebody says darn. It may be great sport to sit around and shock yourself, but what is wrong with coming to earth, and finding out what is here? Life will be as tranquil in the future as it was thirty years ago. Youth has the choice of being a slander or a synapter.
Which is the devil?
OUT OF THE RACE
Officials of the Navy Department have been considering for several months plans for an expedition to the North Pole and through the polar regions by the navy's new cruiser of the air, Sherendah. These officials with their staff of technicians, plan another achievement for American initiative and daring, an expedition for the conquest of lands rich in minerals, oils, fisheries, or fur-hunting, which possibly exist in the region to be explored by air.
Just when preparations are getting
well under way, under direction of the President, through his staff of technical experts in the Navy Department, they are forced into suspension and delay, because of a group of filibuster politicians in Congress. And, on the very day the President is forced to call the hail in preparations, comes the news that Russia, France, and Germany are secretly planning expeditions for the same purpose, and that several private expeditions are being planned
a the Seminarium board. Elated over the knowledge that America's plans are all but lost in a mould of politics, these nations hope to win the race to the pole, with its honors and possible spoils, by actually doing things while the Americans are busy arguing about it.
The few objections which the congressmen make to the expedition, such as the endangerment of lives and the expenditure of the $400,000 which the plans call for, are on the face of them insincere and ludicrously calculated to postpone any definite action which might in some manner become an influence against them in the coming elections.
the coming century.
Pioneering, one of America's characteristic activities, always costs money and endangers lives; no great good can come without some sacrifice. But there should be no occasion for the subjection of the best interests of the country to personal desires to star in a coming quadrilateral spasm of sham patriotism.
If George Washington were living this day and age and commented that he never told a lie, he probably would get the common retort "pick up the marbles."
"True friendship is a plant of slow growth."—George Washington.
IN MEMORIAM
Student loyalty is dead. It has long needed the care of a doctor, but no more. Its funeral was held hast night. The flag on Fraser, now fly; ing at half mast for Woodrow Wilson, should remain lowered for another thirty days for students' loyalty.

Eleven men attended the man meeting called Wednesday evening to consider the new constitution for the Associated Men. This is smaller than the membership of the Men's Student Council which had already passed upon the document.
Of the eleven, one was a Kansan reporter on an assignment and four were officers or committees of the Men's Student Council.
No opposition to the constitution appeared. It did not seem appropriate to inject argument into the funeral rites of student government spirit. The motion of adoption passed unanimously. The saddened group of mourners dispersed, to go their respective ways to gymnasium, library or home.
Spooner should be advised. As the massive new library daily nears completion, the old building should, by all the premises of pottie justice, become relativelyappealing sight, with the pathos of desertion.
But the lights gleam undimmed in Spooner's windows. The quaintly inviting structure hears the same air of cheerful imperturability that it must have worn in the days when it was "the grand new library," the gift of "William B. Spooner of Boston, merchant and philanthropist."
After all, how should a bright red roof look dreary, and how could a building which never aspired to pompous dignity lose it?
Let the stones of the new library be fitted into place; Spooner, which never assumed an important air of superiority, stands unbound to semi-

Snow in Greenland is said to be 10,000 feet deep. It must have been quite a task to measure it.

Plain Tales From The Hill
The shows are said to have done a rushing business Saturday night. One explanation is that all the boys who rated dates were getting the money's worth. Those who didn't make the grade had nothing else to do.
A K-men, wearer of two stripes on his arm, was in the library studying. One girl, from whom he sought the location of a noun, course number of girls with whom he con- tended one hour. The number was—ten.
We wonder if the soda checks be higher at Wideman's Saturday night夜, to greater liberality than the others, or to more conservative the other party to choose as desired.
On Other Hills
"Yeah, their magnetron seems to attract the books out of the department library, all right."
"Why does that girl come over here to this department this semester. She isn't taking a course here now is she?"
"No, she isn't. 1 guess it must be the magnetism of the people bere."
The Kansas State Agricultural College will have a new baseball diamond to be initiated at their first home game which will be with K. U. on April 25 and 26. Bleachers will be taken to the field, and it is estimated that 2,500 people an be taken care of in this way.
The Junior week-end or May day has been abolished at the University of Oregon, and the campus day for the entire school which will take its place will be a time for inspiring school spirit. The reason is that this action allows the school prinzip to punish get the wrong idea of a university at such a time because so much stress is laid on social activities.

LOST IN THE WOODS
Experienced woodmen say that when a man gets lost in the forest he usually travels round and round in a circle.
That is just the way some folks shop. They hit the buying trail, stray from it a bit, and before they are aware of the fact, they are lost—wandering in a maze of counters—gradually growing wearier and wearier—and finally get back home mentally and physically tuckered out without having accomplished much.
Up-to-date shoppers make up their minds what they are going to buy before they leave the house. They know exactly what they want, how much they want to pay, and just where they will find the right goods at the right prices. To them shopping is a pleasure.
These modern shoppers read the Kansan advertisements carefully and regularly. They find that the advertisements save them steps, bother, trouble and time.
Let The Daily Kansan advertisements guide you. That's their job.
