U. 25 and 66 The Daily Klanm aims to picture the undergraduates of the University of Chicago in their Junior year. To gather the ideas by standing up for the ideas they have come across, they are to be clean; to be cheerful to be careful; to be serious with serious problems to hold hands MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1924 RORBING THE DYING A naturalized citizen, an adventurer at 14, an army and family deserter, a "rabbit" politician and cement worker, exited to army ranks, Holulu politics, presidential favor and Washington society to aid in the swindling of $325,000 from dying and mangled country men and over-sess "buddies" as director of the disabled veterans bureau, Colonel Charles R. Forbes trapped on political life and across American tax sheets for two years. Known as a ladies man, a backshapping, hall fellow well met and a deliver in Washington frivolities. Forbes, without conscience, pilvered our national charity. His political ventures and their consequence are a challenge to national political thought. How long will public opinion tolerate the "frgm boot black to administration" pet monkey type of political parasite which seems to infest the best of Washington's rank and file. A FLAMING CIRCLE "Bloody Williamson County" is bloody irish. Seventeen hundred state troops are now patrolling Herrin and the surrounding country to prevent fresh outbreaks and riots such as have occurred lately. They compose the opposing factors is not perfectly clear. The wets are fighting the drys. The miners have laid off work to fight the Klan, and the Klan opposition, aping the methods of their enemies and believing in the method of secret organization to fight secret organization, have organized the Knights of the Flaming Circle. A third faction, ostensibly dry and certainly not enthusiastically wet, proclaims its neutrality and watches the struggle from afar, meanwhile subjecting itself to search and embarrassment at being unable to divulge the mystic password of the Klan. The Adjutant General of Illinois says that martial law will not be declared in Williamson County, but fresh companies of National Guard are arriving every day. One killing one free-for-all fight, and one serious injury have resulted so far. The miners have struck to organize in armed resistance to the dry friction Bloody Williamson needs sterilizing. We've been sick of civil war since '65. With-balloon tires showing at the motor shows, we wonder if the old hitching post evil will supplant the over-head signs in with the mooring mast monstrolyte. Reviewing the Teapot Dome episode, it looks as if America had taken up the grand old game of bull-fight ing. Three new "movie" actresses and Harry Sinclair announce their coming to America and yet we have no restrictive immigration laws. --only "living" memorial to a president. Many schools are trying to get the honor, and Columbia is considered a strong contender. No, Sodaphent, Lionel Strongfort haven't bid in on Muscle Shanks. Here comes another who intimates that the college woman is a "gold digger." A Lawrence landlady advertises rooms for girls with "board, if desired." Why Go To College? was the subject used on a number of county club programs during Christmas vacation. And we wonder why ourselves when we read about the waiter in Florida who seldom receives a tip of less than $5 and who is the proud owner of a Rolls-Royce. Here's the new way of spelling Me Adoo's name—'McAdieu.' --only "living" memorial to a president. Many schools are trying to get the honor, and Columbia is considered a strong contender. Grades may be red or read. Bu where one's parents are concerned, if the grade happens to be red, it is better the grade un-read. A meeting is called in the chemistry lecture room to consider the new student constitution. It is not unannounced whether it will be a discussion on liquid air or a new gas formula. A good citizen of Macon, Mo., recently got the community interested in star gazing and induced them to buy an observatory. Since then the observatory has largely been neglected. And we suppose they blame the young people for that! There were four motor cars in the United States in 1896. Now we can understand why the Beau Brummels didn't know the flapper and loved their horses. The difference between a license for marriage and an auto license, is that in the case of the motor car one can always manage to get rid of a fat tire. "Nanlices Cur Takes Poseison to the Hill"-headline. Just some more of those impertinent students calling some dean names. The modern farmer has three perplexing problems: the ball weevil, the Hessian fly and his daughter at college. EDITORIAL OF THE DAY Release When Dr. Slosson, brilliant philosopher of popular science, calls man a parasite he speaks a literal truth—but a limited one. Man is a parasite to the extent that he lives "by horse alone"—and only his blood is a substance or element necessary to his physical achievement, he flies from the earth on which he lives or from the animals who live there with him. He robs the sheep and the ox and the oyster; he wrenches metals out of the earth's hiding places; he destroys the trees and robs the plants of their fruit As Dr. Slosson hinted, all this plundering is a daily hint to man of his own dependence and his own inferiority. Somewhere in the mind of man there must be a burkkin that some person will be able to bring its birds extinct and the coal banks bleaned barren of stored energy. Perhaps this is a sort of "inferiority complex," appropriate to the pauper living on charity or the robe who swaggers to conceal his feart. At any rate, the pauper quite literally, in all man's environment to his physical environment. The limit to this truth comes when man grows creative—creative in any science or any art—for he can invent things, for his own desire on what he can borrow, or stand from Mother Nature. Then, and only then, he employs something within himself—giving, instead of taking, an insight into the forest, and bristles taken from an animal's hide; the pigments and minerals ground in oil; but the picture is essentially an idea. Music illustrates it best; literature existed before writing did and is quite independent of ink and paper. Perhaps that explains man's delight in his arts. They alone assert his occasional release from essential pauserism. On Other Hills Three instructors have been mysteriously attacked by an unknown man on the campus of the University of Minnesota. Later it was found that a former student was guilty. He could offer his action, but authorities lay it to the fact that he is in poor health. The University of Oregon juniors had their annual shine day recently. On that day both men and women shine each others shoes for the coronary ten cents. The proceeds are given to charity.

Students of John Hopkins claim that the honor system works perfectly in that school. Those who have been enrolled for four years claim that they have their first time to catch anyone cribbing.

Notice to Our Patrons This is a production that I have been eager for some time to bring to Lawrence, but hesitated due to the extraordinary terms required. The date of Feb. 18 has been set and it is now left to the people of this city to decide when this exhibition is war-ready not. Personally, I believe you will remember it long after it has played Lawrence. DON'T MISS 1r: MANAGEMENT, Bowersock Theater Here It Is!
