Plans for the successful completion of the drive were discussed by the Sachems at their meeting Tuesday night and they believed that by the end of the semester, members of the University will have subscribed liberally to this fund.
The officers in charge of the Association are endeavoring to conduct this campaign in the way that Roosevelt would have wanted it conducted. They want it to be in keeping with the solemnity of the occasion and ensure that the tags on tag or button will be given to those who contribute.
State Eager to Respond
Since 1972,
No personal solicitations over the state currency will be made as the love of Kansas for the memory of Roosevelt and for his Americanism will inspire the people to give, it is believed.

Friday the school will have deci- mations, readings and recitations—all taken from the works and writings of Roosevelt. Every school child has been asked to contribute a nickel and the gift boxes have been distributed.

The President's letter said in part, "I am advised by your chairman that you have come to a situation which appears to threaten the life of your conference and because of that I am presuming to address a word of very sollen apel to you as Americans. "It is not for me to address the blame for the present condition. I do not need a spirit of criticism of any individual who has having called this conference I feel that my temporary indisposition should not bar the way to a frank explanation of the seriousness of the position in which this country will be placed should you adjourn without having convinced the American peop people that you have exhausted your resourcefulness and your patience in an attempt to come to some common

Democracy Comes High,
Huns Learn at Polls
Berlin, (By Mail).—Democracy comes fairly high in Germany. While she has no campaign expense laws like America, she is already learning that elections are costly as an evidence by a compilation of the costs for the national assembly and Prussian land assembly elections some months back. The expense against her is over 1,000,000 marks, while in the perverse involved the expense was more than 4,000,000 marks.
Both the right and the left are massing funds, however, so as to make a strong campaign against the moderate regime, and the new tests will furnish one of the bitterest campaigns ever waged in Europe.
These expenses are likely to be vastly increased in the elections for the Reichstag. So far, no definite dates have been set for these, but the present regime is striving hard to get the elections postponed to allow voters to believe that elections this fall or winter only make for fresh unrest.
