The Daily Kaanas aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students at the University than merely printing the books by standing for the deals the University has made. To be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be compassionate; to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON, SEPT. 2
LONG MAY THEY SMOKE
The good old days have lost none of their savior, in spite of the harpings of the critics. The ancient custom of smoking at Varsity dances is still with us, though the efforts of reformers and other misguided individuals to abolish it have been wide spread.
The "sniper's" realize full well how a woman delights to dance with a man accompanied by an odor combining the full effects of tobacco store and smoking car smelts, so all the efforts of the kill-jays to dispense with this venerable institution have gone for nothing. Even were there no such reason as the foregoing for its continuance, the pleasure the smoke barrage gives the chaperons would be sufficient motive for never allowing the Fatima, the Camel and the glowing Chesterfield to be extinguished.
Smokers are always careful to tow their stubs in the direction of the dancing floor, so by the grinding effect of the feet of the dancers, the surface may be so improved that skid chains will be necessary. Other inhalers firing their burnt-out brands from the windows, being ever mindful of the fact that one may some day alight in the hair of a passing woman and give the Lawrence fire department some exercise.
DR. BURDICK'S BIG WORK
DR. BURDICK'S BIG WORK
By appointing Dr. W. L. Burdick of the University reviewer of the United States statutes, the Congressional committee on revision of the laws picked a man who may be trusted to do the work thoroughly. To revise and condense the laws of the United States, and to prepare same for the publication of what will be the biggest book of laws in the world, is an undertaking that calls for the full play of the imagination. It is a big job. It is a most exacting and important work. If it be done well, patience, thoroughness, and honesty, among other things, must be exercised to the extreme. Doctor Burdick possesses these characteristics The committee on revision has been stowed a high honor. It belongs to Kansas, to the University, and to Doctor Burdick.
HOW THEY DO IT IN OHIO Columbus, U., Sept. 20—(Special)—Football has come back to Ohio State university. Closed practice on Wednesday and Friday shows that the team is getting down to business. Practice was held openly Thursday for the benefit of the freshmen, over 2,000 being in the stands—Chicago Tribune.
When. 2,000 freshmen out of. 2,600 from a school with an enrollment of 6,000 turn out to watch the football
team practise, as at Ohio State it indicates the presence of real pop and student spirit.
When scarcely more than one hundred students from a school with an enrollment of 4,000 turn out to practice, as at the University of Kansas, it indicates—well, what?
Come out tonight and watch the work-out.
THE REDS WIN AT LAST The Reds have triumphed!
Not the Bolahevik, but the Cincinnati nati kind. After long years of hopeful, prayerful, sometimes blasphemous rooting, the fans of the Queen City have been rewarded with a pennant winning team.
Cincinnati has been the goat of the National League since bewilchered athletes began running bases in that venerable organization. Players have been traded off as hopeless quinces, only to make good with another team. The happy game of managing the Reds went on the principle of Pussin-the-corner among the team leaders. And if the teams didn't finish the eight place, it was seventh.
The Cincy sport writers finally got tired of making alibis for their team. Even the renowned Matteondon didn't quite succeed in winning the battle for the banner last year, although he gave the Giants a game fight up to the finish. This year it was Pat Moran, ex-Philly leader, who won the coveted batten. And now all is joy in Cincinnati, for the first World's Series ever is about to begin.
NAT GOULD A POPULAR WRITER
Known to innumerable readers in England, the name of Mr. Nat Gould was practically unknown in the United States, and, to those who hear of him, the thought of any one man writing so many books in the United States would be creating no acquaintance outside of England seems astonishing.
It is probably safe to say that no author in England or America ever wrote a longer list of "best selling" novels, although, says The Manchester Guardian, "no man - nay, no woman - nor any other, with so perfect a lack of self-consciousness." He committed, continues the Guardian, every fault possible to a writer, turned out forlermessages, and produced whole pages that would drive a grammarian to distraction. Nevertheless, he gained an immense public; and this because carefully regarded the conventions,
"In Mr. Nat Gould's books virtue always triumphed, vice met its vile deserts, and if people were made to talk as no people ever talked anywhere they acted as their reader expected them to act." Mr. Gould seems to have been one of those rare and unusing persons among authors who write naturally and continuously thousands of their fellow men and women enjoy reading. —Christian Science Monitor.
GENERAL OF THE ARMY
GENERAL OF THE ARMY
Foch is a marshal of France and a field marshal of Great Britain, but there are other soldiers bearing both French and British insignia home a full general of the army or armies of the United States, a life rank which he receives with the thanks of congress.
If a thing it to be valued by its rarity, the commander in chief of the A. E. F. has no reason to complain of the gratitude of this republic. To wear the sword once worn by four other Americans only, Washington, Grant, Sheridan and Sherman—is reward for any man.
Could anybody desire to be in a company more distinguished and more exclusive?—New York Herald.
COMMUNICATIONS
Lawrence holds an unusual attraction for the women of the W.C.T.U. through the University. It is the home of the boys and girls during their school years, bringing an unusual number of mothers to the state convention at Lawrence October 6 to 10. They will be glad of an opportunity to visit their sons and daughters, see their educational home, and meet them in the atmosphere, and visit the classrooms.
To The Daily Kansan:—
The University is a valuable asset to the city of Lawrence. W. C. T. U. mothers furnish their full quota.
The local W. C. T. U, not only asks your cooperation in furnishing lodging and breakfast to the W. C. T. U, delegates but is looking to the mayoral team. You will be sitting rating the city. Convention dates are October 6 to 10. Phone Mrs. W. F. Morris, 840 Kentucky Street tonight if you have a spare room.

"Who's going over to the field with me to watch the team work out?" asked the Old-Timer as he advanced upon the group on the front porch.
The Old Timer
"What's the matter with you guys, anyway?" demanded the Old-timer in stern Oral Interpt ties. "Did someone tell you they were charging admission this year? Or did you hear there wasn't going to be a team?"
"There were University students and high school kids and town people, and they were all making a noise too. They watched those candidates fall on the ball with as much interest as they would have shown in a box seat at the Missouri game. I don't know what they do now when they go out to see. And I'm glad that I'm going out to see. And if any of you fellows want to go with me, I know the coaches would be glad to see you."
"Let me tell you how they used to do it when I was a freshman," he went on. "The day the players were to report for the first time I heard so many fellows talking about going down to see them work out that I got to wondering if it wasn't some kind of a disaster, or just a matter of mass. I had an afternoon job that year, and all the other fellows asked to get off early, so I did the same.
A certain surgeon, who was very young and rather ally, was invited to dinner by a lady, who was at least fifty but frivolous enough for twenty. She imagined herself very clever when made rude remarks. At dinner she asked the young surgeon to carve a fowl, and, not having done so before, he failed lamentably. Instead of trying to hide it, she called attention to it pointedly by looking down the table and saying loudly:
"When we got down to Hamilton Field, where the athletes were gambling about, we found a crowd I guessed as being about four hundred gathered around the field. A woven wire fence surrounded the grid and three deep on both sides from ten-ward line to ten-ward line.
"Well, you may be a very clever surgeon, but if I wanted a leg off I should not come to you to do it." "No, madman," he replied politely, "but then, you see, you are not a chicken." - Stray Stories.
The Old-Timer turned to go, but he did not go alone, for a dozen nephroyes had started with him to give the team their first boost.
