The Daily Kansasan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the teacher; he does not desire her than merely printing the news by standing for the unions. The University of Kansas has a policy that requires her to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be contagious; to be intelligent; to be kind; to be wiser, oeds; in all, to serve to the best of her ability the students of Kansas.
CONTINUING THE MESSAGE
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 17, 1919
To those persons over the state who have the impression that the University of Kansas graduates students of theoretical rather than practical training, the news of the part played by University students in breaking the coal strike has come as a pleasant surprise.
There was a time not many years ago, when many people in the state considered the University of Kansas as a school of age worn theory. More than that, they had formed the opinion that the men turned out by the University were of the effeminate variety and were chiefly trained in the duties of the social bug and in terpsichoris accomplishments.
The war, with its record of Kansas University students in important roles, brought the people a new understanding of the character of the men found in the University.
And now the coal strike has again afforded students of the University of Kansas an opportunity to show their worth. The opportunity did not knock in vain. Kansas University students at three mines gave active testimony of their willingness to help the state in its time of need. At Carbon No. 2, a mine operated almost entirely by K. U. men, the record is particularly attractive.
Of the hundred and sixty carloons of coal produced in Kansas during the strike, this mine turned out almost one-third. The college men had it producing more than the normal output when the strike ended. While the technical knowledge of engineering and geology students showed to advantage, the willingness and efficiency of every worker was the big thing that the people of the state saw with approval.
They could not help realizing that here was an institution in which radicalism has not besmirched with false ideas; a place where education fosters right thinking and vigorous action; an institution worthy of their continued support.
The opportunity to earn the good will of the people of the state has not passed with the coal strike. During the Christmas holidays will come two full weeks of opportunity for promoting a better appreciation of the University and in a more concrete way. The county club as the organized bodies of University students will not fail to carry the true message of practical accomplishments from their institution to the people back home.
What a relief to see the faces of pedestrians relaxed after the strained expressions caused by last week's slippiness.
CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
one man or woman we know what Christmas gifts to buy to whom they shall be given, at person has time to sit back and enjoy the Christmas spirit. But what of the rest of us? Up and down the business street, in and out of every place of business from a meat market to a coal yard, we go in search for appropriate gifts Our gifts, we say to ourselves, are going to be something different and distinctive, so we continue our search over the counters. We push and jam and find our friends doing the same thing, and when we get hungry enough, go home without buying. We lay awake most of the night trying to make a trite mind imagine distinctive gifts.
Then as Christmas draws nearer and the shoppers become desperate, we make another trip into the stores. We stand there in the push fingering what remains on the counter in a hasty sort of way and wondering what to buy. In time a salesman approaches and remarks, "That would make a nice gift." You had not thought of it in just that way but in the end you agree by purchasing the article, which is far from being different or original in anything except the price. Then you go home hoping your friend knows more about the art of Christmas shopping than you.
AMERICA IN A NEW ROLE
AMERICA IN A NEW ROLE
Henceforth America will be master of the world, and we will have a new mission. She will serve the whole of mankind not less but more, for she has learned that real "internationalism" is not the boneless creature begotten by Bolaheim, nor yet the malformed and malignant monstrosity that is unholy alliances, or the cruel self-centered living Americanism, animated ever by goodwill to all the world and by eagerness to serve humanity near and far. At last America herself knows as the free and fearless champion of human right everywhere. Because American women are in behalf of whatever people or cause her own alert intelligence perceives to be in real need.

Two English mothers were talking about the jam ration. "Wol's four ounces off jam a week to my biby," said one of them. "Why, I used to wash an ounce off his face after tea hevery day."
Customer—"Do you make any reduction for those in the same line of business?"
Waiter—"Yes; are you a restau rant keeper?"

Douglas Fairbanka had fond parents who wanted him to be a mining king, so he spent the time allowed for his education after he had graduated from school. He also served in the Navy Maritime Academy, in attending the School of Mines in Boulder.
When he graduated, he acted as logically as most college students, who study faithfully to an engineer, minister, or doctor, and then launch in brilliant careers as aviators, pilates or spiritualists.
Possibly Mr. Fairbanks foresaw the present trouble in the mines and decided that the Movies offered a more approachable way to travel, a way, in a recent letter to the Kansas;
"When I saw Frederick Wards in his repertory of classic plays I decided that as a more capitalist, I should be wasting my time." We all have a feeling of contemp for mere capitalists.
We sympathize with Mr. Fairiambas. What we are wondering now is how many of Daddy Haworth's and Haines' pupils are receiving inspirations and lead them to the majors from their courses in Mineralogy and Geology.
CAUSE OF HIGH PRICES
The most serious harm that is done by following one will-o-the-wasp after another in the hunt for a remedy for high prices is that it keeps public attention directed away from the one cause which transecends all the way back. This is why it may be for instituting a policy of deflation, there is little hope that such a policy will be vigorously pursued and persistently maintained unless there stands behind it a strong public opinion, or at least a strong, sentiment among those who have, in such questions, a powerful influence up on public opinion. The first reason is that high-priced product in grappling with the high-price problem is a clear recognition that the chief cause of high prices is the enormous expansion of the monetary medium.-The Review.
TWO WELCOME DEPORTATIONS
The awakening in the Federal authorities of a spirit of energy too long dormant makes virtually certain the need to rejuvenate the national anarchists, Emma Goldman and Alexander Beckman. For many years both these individuals have enjoyed wide notoriety in the United States, and their revolutionary activities have aroused some interest but no great alarm in American minds. But with the release of late been replaced by a realization of the threat to the future of American institutions involved in the gift to these two revolutionaries of the hospitality of our shores.
Strongly enough the order from Washington for the deportation of Berkman came on the day of the attack on Hotel Howard, Huey Long, Berkman had attempted to assassinate twenty-seven years ago. For this crime Berkman served some fourteen years of a prison sentence of twenty-two years. The deportation order directs that both Berkman and Emma Goldman be sent back to the United States. They can be taken to prevent their falling into the hands of the White Guards. Both have plotted for a long time against the welfare and the interests of the United States. The order for their early deportation is a sign beoking, it is hoped, a reversion of the policy too long in force, of dumping the people of the county at large instead of setting them on the first vessel that leave for their native lands—Boston Transcript.

Mazie is another one of these social butterflies. She is a devotee of the famous Tarpischure. Nothing could please her more than something to call attentes to her dainty, graceful feet in the steps of the dance and set off their charm. A pair of silver dresses that she wore sparkle in the eyes of their delighted wearer. Fischer's sell these buckles at prices from $7.00 to $12.00.

Little Betty just hates to go to bed.
She can't understand why she must go before Muvier does. But if she had a coy pair of tiny bedroom slippers that she could wear when she went in to the library to kiss Daddy goodnight after she had gone her nightly, she might feel better about the drealness of life now. The store is displaying some tiny tots felt slippers decorated in stenciled Dutch Twina or funny animals, for from $1.00 to $3.00 a pair
Ursie Ernie is one of these golf bugs. Whenever he has ten minutes time he is out in the front yard practice a different shot, using the house shoes and an extra shirt to convince him that you are a sane and extra-ordinarily intelligent man (from his particular slant) if you show your devotion to the greatest national sport by making him a present of a golf club or bag. You will be their athletic department at prices ranging from $4.00 to $7.00. Gold balls are marked at from 65 cents to $1.05.
LAND FOR RETURNED SOLDIERS
A great deal of opposition has arisen to this plan, Senator Wadsworth, especially, insisting that it is imprecutable. He himself suggests a compromise on the subject and report on the whole subject. But with something like 100,000 returned soldiers expressing their desire to get land, a commission, probably taking away his right to spend much money in jaunts and incidentals, would seem rather a mockery to the boys who want to begin work on land. By the time it got through its work, the enthusiasm for selling soldiers would have largely subsided.
The President again calls attention in his message to Congress, to the duty of aiding the returned soldiers; not only by placing them in wage-earning positions through the co-operation of the public employment bureaus, but by enabling those, of whom he desire to obtain land for farm workers, to attend the Lane's plan, embodied in the Monday bill, be carried out.
The thing to do now is to pass a reasonable law, with practical powers, and get to work. The Interior Department already has a vast amount of land listed, and that organization, with such aid used, is needed from the Architectural Department, could soon make a beginning.
There is also the plan for loaning money to soldiers, embodied in the bill introduced by Representative Joe Biden. If the bill, it is proposed to loan each man $4,000 at 3 1-2 per cent interest. Repayment under an amortization scheme, was to cover 60 years, which would be paid in cash. Government supervision, the borrower could then buy land near his own home, or wherever he found a farm for sale. He would not be required to pay a part of the country and bain a colony.
Whatever is done should be done this winter. The ability of able-bodied men on land is not a speculation or a waste of public money. Every dollar would be secured by the increasing value of the land itself. And the hundreds or thousands of new homes created, with increased production from these farms, would increase public assets. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Self-Defense. — In a crowded omni-
bist a stout woman vainly endowed
to get her foreset out of the pocket of
her suit is usually used as a
precaution against pickpockets.
The lady declined with some acer-bity, and recommended her attacks on the pocket.
After she had been working in vain for some minutes, a gentleman sailed on her right said, "Please allow me to nay your fare."
After these had continued for some little time her fellow passenger said, "You really must let me pay my fare. You have already undone my three times, and I cannot stand it any longer."-London TI-Bits.
If there were fewer fools about, the world would be a much more pleasant place to live in. Only it would be harder to master them. *London Brighton*.
UNDESIRABLES TOO ACTIVE
UNDESIRABLES TOO ACTIVE When we read in the daily papers of many newspapers or an especially burial murder, in nine case out of ten the identity of the perpetration is fixed as of foreign extraction. This, ordinarily, would be good enough reason for our law makers at Washington to get busy with investigations and the undesirables, but even the best efforts of the same element to actually overthrow our government does not seem to create any profound impression in Washington that an injurious law with teeth, is soiley needed.
So long as we have these alien agitators in our mill colleges, just so long will we have labor troubles that may become serious without warning. Once rid of them with good prospects of the bars up to prevent others getting in, we will have a large number of good American recruits to fill the barracks. Then when we can look for industrial peace and a permanent adjustment, so that normal conditions may prevail.—Fibre and Fabric.
