The Daily Kaman aims to picture the undergraduates life of the University than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University stands for; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be respectful; to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

The war did not invent propaganda, it merely educated the people to the point where they recognized it.
TOWN TO AID RALLIES
Organized rallies and student demonstrations this year are to receive the support of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Tuesday night that body launched a campaign to get the co-operation of the Lawrence business men and townspeople, and the students, and gave a dinner to leading University students and Lawrence business men.
A Booster Club was organized at the beginning of school with an object of getting the Lawrence people interested in University activities, and to check the ill feeling that has at times come up at rallies or University demonstration meetings.
The movement is a good one and should receive the hearty support of every student. It will improve conditions on the Hill, and more enthusiasm and spirit will result if everyone takes an active interest. The athletic teams will play better and win more games if they know there is an organization behind them which is devoting their whole-hearted interest to the welfare of the team and the University.
The Annual shirt-tail parade will be staged Saturday night after the Pittsburgh Normal game. There will be a larger number of men in it this year than ever before. Some organized system will have to be used to avoid confusion, which may result in ill-feeling. If the movement proposed by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce receives the support it merits, no one will be disappointed with Saturday night's parade.
While the president works himself into a nervous breakdown Vice-President Marshall glories in the claim that he's the lowest man in the United States. What the old service man can't understand.
THOSE ACTIVITY TICKETS
THOSE ACTIVITY TICKETS
In asking all K. U. students to buy student activity tickets, the University authorities are not asking them to contribute to a money-making scheme, nor to assist in anything that is not an important part of University life.
To the contrary they are asking the students to get away from the habit of neglecting these things and erroneously considering them as things apart from an education.
That the University encourages attendance at all activities should be enough to convince the reluctant student that such activities have at least some element of merit.
It is true that football and debating
are not taught to all the students. It is true that attendance at football games and debates is not compulsory, and it is true also, perhaps, that in not making attendance compulsory the authorities merely have let leniency run away with their most advanced ideas of pedagogy.
The fact that Governor Allen has received authority from Secretary Baker to call on federal troops in case of any riot in Kansas should not frighten the freshmen to such an extent that they keep out of the record-breaking rallies.
STRIKE DANGER LESSENS
Neither the railroad strike in Great Britain, nor the steel strike in the United States has the earmarks of a revolution, in spite of statements to the contrary. There is no evidence, other than the word of British government officials, that the railroad strikers are intent on dealing a death blow to the British Government, and in the United States we have only the word of big business that the strike of the steel workers is the first step in a revolution that is to overthrow the capitalistic system in America.
But the danger that may come from just such disturbances as are now on in England and America must not be minimized. It is conceivable that something less than actual revolution may loosen if not break the alignment of powers which, having united to defeat Germany, must remain united in order to enforce the terms of the treaty.
It is plainly the duty of the governments of these nations to quell disturbances which to the extent that they are dangerous, threaten the outcome of the coming peace.
Fortunately, the report that the British Government has won important initial advantage in the railroad strike, and the absence of any alarming trend in the strike of the American steel workers, is enabling the world to breathe easier. There is some comfort in any situation that will furnish grounds for the hope that the "international blow-up" has been deferred.

In case of the present national triangle of capital, labor and the consumer, why should the first two be miserable when only the latter need be?
A MARK FOR WOMEN. TOO
A MARK FOR WOMEN, TOO
For many years the first year man have worn the diminutive freshman cap. It has grown to be one of the traditions of the school. It has helped the men to make friends, and has enabled them to distinguish their classmates from the unclassmen.
But never has it been the custom for the women of the freshman class to wear some article to distinguish them as first year students. The women of the *e* University as well The women of the University as well as the men, who are here for the first time are strangers to each other. They have no way of determining who their classmates are, and making friends is not always an easy matter, especially when there are more than three thousand students enrolled at the University. Some custom, similar to that applied to the men students, would be a benefit to a great many of the first-year women.

Editor The Daily Kansan:—
Here in Lawrence a place on Massachussetts Street the other day quoted a jacintin cut of mutton at forty cents a pound. A leading store on the east side of the city was for the same thing, while on the west side it could be had for twenty cents.
It may be that the twenty-cent man has his meat killed here at home, and the other two ship them from differen- tious cities. The reckon with freight rates these un-
But there is no book mantle of charity for the book stores. At one store $3 is the price of a certain text to one student—while another gets a gilt-edged copy worth a quarter more for $2.75. Another dealer sells the ordinary edition for $2.25. And the student notes—feel like demanding an investigation, and themselves serving on the committee.

The three books come from the same publishers, and in all probability from the same jobbers. The price of this text last year was $2,50, and it is one of the things that certain students are obliged to have. When you can do without a proftweiter thing, then this terrible epidemic, so far as that one thing does, cannot hurt you. F. L. S.
HAROLD AND JAMES

number of publishers are grown,
their favorite bunkpapers for a last
long battle to elbow Harold away
from the public bosom. One of these
aspirants is James Oliver Curwood,
the author of a number of books,
bound very easily in cloth, with
quite nicely printed pages and neatly
illustrated. Mr. Hearst has re-entered
the book-publishing business in
the hope of getting James over as
Harold's matador. Let them grind
each other's faces in the sand of the
arena—Life.

The newest thing
The revival of the double-breasted suits in styles for young men
Double-breasted suits have always been known and worn, but when you say double-breasted suits now, we don't mean the old kind. Hart Schaffner & Marx have created an entirely new type of double-breasted. High chested, snug waisted, broad lapels, flared skirts; the jauntiest, snappiest, styles you've ever seen.
Some have belts; some half belts; with some the belt is detachable—wear the coat without it if you choose. The young men are taking them fast. We have very smart single-breasted models, too, of course; very snappy new types; we hope to see you looking at them. $40
