The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students, as well as the teachers, than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas in the University newspaper. To be clear; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be kind; to be helpful; to be wiser; to be sad; in all, to serve to the best of its ability; the student of ours.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT
An intense sincerity commanding the respect of even his enemies, a kindling righteousness enlisting hosts in the crucible for a better nation, an inspiration ti you and your children, reaching and embracing every class and individual, such was the character and life of Theorde Roosevelt.
He stood for the better, nobler things in life. A fearless champion of democracy at all times, he placed his family and his nation before himself. He was the greatest example of American manhood of modern times. Loved and respected by all classes, he lived a life devoted to the betterment of his nation and the peoples of it. You felt that he was your friend and champion, an inspiration to you.
When you learned of his death, you felt that you had lost a friend; that the nation had lost a offender. And the tributes that were paid to the dead hero! They came from all walks of life, from every country on the globe, for Theoore Roessel was respected and admired by all nations.
His wonderful service, his fine enthusiasm and unsparing devotion, his many virtues and splendid characteristics, and his thorough Americanism should be remembered and emulated.
In commemoration of his great deeds and teachings and as a worthy tribute to his memory, a nation-wide campaign is under way to secure funds for a memorial in his honor. Every state, every county, city and country community is expected to give something to this worthy cause. The plan of campaign is not to secure large contributions, but something from everyone. The University must not fail to do its share.
The campaign to be conducted at the University will be under the direction of the Men's Student Council, the W. S. G. A., and the Suechem society. A systematic solicitation is to be made of every student on the Hill, and the unselflessness and citizenship of the man is to be the basis of each individual's contribution. The amount suggested is twenty-five cents, and if every student of the University gives that amount, the University will not have failed to do its part.
The trouble with this country as a melting pot is that the slag seems to get dumped back in all of the time.
THE WORLD WAITS
"The reconfiguration of the processes by which men are to earn their bread," which is held by J. Stitt Wilson to be the objective of civilization, is by no means a new quest. Society has long been aware of an inadequate
economic organization. The movement for change was begin even before religious and political liberty was a fact in Europe as a whole, and before political freedom had been accepted as a safe proposition by all Americans.
With Karl Mark early in the nineteenth century, the definite movement for a new economic and social order which would bring with it a more just distribution of wealth, received the support and the guidance of the socialists that it has held to this day. What Mr. Wilson has proposed as the greatest issue before mankind—the humanizing of industry, a fairer distribution of wealth, and all else that a reconsideration of bread winning processes would mean—has been the leading doctrine of the socialists for three quarters of a century.
But today the question is a wider one than can be contained within any of the political parties. It is the objective rather of a civilization that is in quest of true democracy, and it is as a lover and believer in such democracy that Mr. Wilson is speaking at the University of Kansas.
The time has come when we cannot afford superficially to pass over these problems. Difficulties between capital and labor growing out of a defective economic system hold each year added dangers for the public. The sore spts must be healed ne
The sore spots must be healed once for all by intelligent administering. The time to do this is now. That is why Mr. Wilson so pagently states that this is the greatest hour in the history of the human race. In other words, democratic government is face to face with its supreme test.
The University Concert Course again emphasizes the fact that only those persons with fancy names stand a fifty-fifty chance in the Fine Arts School.
AN OLD SHOE LEAGUE
Why not have an Old Shoe League at the University? All of the articles of wearing apparel that are advancing in price, shoes are soaring the fastest. Leather is either very scarce or is controlled by an air tight combine. The latter is presumably the case. Let us meet the situation by forming just as tight a combine in the form of an old shoe association.
To make such a league a success it would be necessary to repiece pride in having the feet clad in the newest and best that the artifactors of the鞋 world can produce, with pride in the age of the old womn shoe. It may also be necessary to make patched pants a badge of honor, and shiny coat sleeves the mark of a patriot.
No class of people are better shod than University students and there is no class of people that could better afford to wear their shoes longer. Students as it needs a new sole and nothing would be more fitting for for K. U. to have and old shoe league with every student a charter member and sworn to live up to the wearing of his old shoes as long as they will hang together.
Mental Lapses
Wife (at breakfast) —"Could I have a little money for shopping today, dear?"
Husband—"Certainly. Would you rather have an old wife or a new one?" Wife—"a new one of course."
"First Maid (bragging about a party the day before by her maidroom)"
"And they all came in lournouses and wore the biggest diamonds."
Husband—"Here's the one—and I'm four dollars to the good."—Stray Shots.
Neighbor's Maid—"And what did they talk about?"<sup>b</sup>
The Bridegroom—Why don't you give her some of our cuteglass wedding presents to wash?"—Life.
The Bride—"Oh Bridgut, you're al ways breaking something."
First Muid-"Us."-Life.
"I understand the returned soldier Harold met insulted him. What did the soldier say to him?"
"Nothing. He merely put on his gas mask when Harold had broken of the wonderful improvement he had made in his methods." - Battlimore American.
On Other Hills
The University of Colorado has a new method of making freshmen conform to rules of the institution. A university police department has been created and officers from moores have been assigned to act as policemen and report culprits.
At the University of Utah all students who are discovered cutting assembly will be ducked.
The Collegian of the Agricultural College at Manhattan is conducting a professor popularity contest. Each student voter must sign his own name to the ballot to make certain that he has voted only once. The picture of the professor voted as most popular will be prined in the paper.
To make sure that all tubing will be abolished at Encina Hall, the men's dormitory at Leland Stanford University, every bath tub has been removed and showers put in their tubes. The bathtub is tabbed at Stanford for some time, there have been numerous submerisions of first year students.
At Northwestern University the number of cuts allowed in classes has been doubled to two cut for each hour of the course. In a five hour course ten cuts will be permissible. The Daily Northwestern says that no reason for this change of heart was given but it seems to prove that the "milk of human kindness" still flows through the veins of the faculty.
Four large eastern colleges for women, Wellesley, Mount Holyoke Vassar and Smith, held a conference this week at Wellesley to discuss common problems. All of these-colleagues have agreed on the method of admission by certificates and to put in its place a plan of admission by examination.
The cat is at last out of the Editor's bag and the mystery that to many has enshrouded his Office is laid bare. Mr. Holbrook Jackson, of Today (London), calls the ignorance of the way an editor should be approached "invincible." The observance of the following rules he thinks, "would augment the amenities between literary aspirants for the honor of print and those who have the power of pronouncing ye and upo with a word of their own." They begin tamedly: 1. To write your copy or, handwrite it cleverly.
AN EDITOR'S DON'TS
2. Write your name and address clearly on the back of last page of ypscript or manuscript.
3. Enclose not a loose stamp but a stamped and address envelope.
4. Don't write a letter of explanation to the editor. But if you do write—
5. Don't tell him your stuff is good he won't take your word.
6. Don't tell him it is bad—bad
7. Don't tell him that your friends like it—the doesn't care.
8. Don't say that another editor advised you to send it along—that would make him suspicious.
10. Don't flatter him—editors are cynics.
9. Don't say you want to earn money by writing - he is not out to help you, but to edit his paper and pay those who help him.
12. Don't ask his opinion. he may not have one.
13. Don't ask why he rejects your offer—he may not know.
11. Don't tell him you know his olso
nunt—he may hate her.
BOSTON ACTS
One added caution seemed too important to condense into a line:
A new activity for the young in the North End of Boston has come into being by a combination of public school education in American history with the presence of an important historic edifice in this neighborhood of Italians, Greeks, Hebrows, and a n others of the foreign-born. The edifice was built naturally many a tourist threads the congested streets of the North End to look at. Now as he looks he listens, for the local uchins he have found it profitable to recite patriciate poems, learned in the public schools, for the traveler's idification. The little group, surrounded by a larger audience drawn from the population of the quarter, makes an odd picture, a sort of mural aspect of the matter, the patriotic poems thus popularized bear an unofficial but helpful part in the present program of Americanization—Chris
"Those about to try to become contributors to a particular magazine would be well advised to purchase or borrow a copy first, so as to form an opinion what it is like. If this preservation is not taken it is as well not to say anything about it. Above all, don't ask an editor to tell you what articles you're-you are going out for yourself." - Literary Disc.
In general, students would approve of an author's strike and complete walk-out for several months.
No wonder the Bible is misunderstood when its meaning is stretched so far as to cover paddling at K. U.
Even if they do study law, why call 'em the laws? They're the most lawless crowd on the Hill.
Richard Graves calls the steel strikers deep pinks—pretty rough language that, Dick.
The only advancement the Russinsa have made along industrial lines, is in the manufacture of bombs.
The women who practiced knitting sweaters for the soldiers last winter are doing a better job for themselves.
If as they say now Berlin is a den of vice, it is merely a chip off the old block.
The University of Kansas will not accept imitations. This fact has been proven by the speed with which the late copy of Douglas Fairbanks left
A sure sign of coming winter: The landlady has stuffed the keyhole with paper and is talking of ordering the coal.
One of the betting students tried batting all ways on the world series, but the only way he found to keep his record was the weather man called one game off.
"A Best K. U." club is good tonic for the Manhattan Aggies right now. However, they may spill their medals. They'll get out on McCook Field November 1.
Ferdinand Gottlieb was reported elected editor of next year's Jayhawkier by a majority of just one vote. And every member of the junior class who voted for Ferdinand thinks that his was the deciding vote.
