FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1919. THE WEATHER Cloudy today;possible showers tomorrow; rising temperature; warmer in Eastern portion. OUR HIGH SCHOOL VISITORS Why are a few people so boisterous in their criticisms of "Dad" Elliott? It's the truth that hurts. Today and Saturday, we are having another infux of high school students as visitors to the University. We invited them here; they are our guests. Let us welcome them, not only by vocal or printed expression but but concert action. Show them that we appreciate their visit by attending the various contests in which they participate. This is doubly beneficial. In the first place it shows the high school students that we are very much interested in them and what they are doing; that we have the pep, the initiative, and the will to do; that this school is the best for them to attend and now is the time to make their choice. In the second place, it benefits us. We must not get the conceited notion into our heads that we cannot learn from high school students. Tonight the Pratt and Neodesha High Schools will clash for the State High School debating championship. The question for debate is, Resolved: That Capital and Labor Should be Compelled to Settle Their Disputes in Legally Established Courts of Arbitration. This question should be of vital interest to every student on the Hill. The debaters are the best from the High Schools of the State, so we can rest assured that it will be skillfully discussed. Will you be there? Then Saturday afternoon the High School track teams compete. They will furnish plenty of excitement. Can you remember when you attended high school? If the representatives from your school, or a neighboring one, are here, try to be one of them, and root for 'em. In this way you will show them that athletics are supported here, and they will be eager to attend the University. Be a RAH, RAH student for one day. Some one should suggest a plan whereby a league of nations could settle all the trouble it kicks up. ARE AMERICANS SENTI MENTALISTS? Have people of the United States forgotten their share of the war burden? Is the critic right when he says Americans will give only when stirred by the fiercest patriotic appeals? If reports concerning the Victory Loan success are true, perhaps after all the criticism is nearer right than we gave him credit. When one picks up the paper and reads of the lagging connected with this, the last loan, then a little later meets a train of cheering returned soldiers, is it not natural that he will question the sincerity of some people in these United States? He thinks the words of a few knockers may possibly carry some weight after all. But surely the reports are not all in, or else the campaign has not gone far enough to adequately judge whether or not it has fallen behind the hopes of the managers. American people cannot be made of such body-less material that they are not able to give without the stimulant of forced sentimentality. Some people certainly seem to appreciate themselves. At least that is the idea that they give when they keep saying constantly, "I enjoyed myself so much." 523.410 71.868 277 2986 Many students in making plans for the summer vacation are so engrossed with the idea of going somewhere and reorganizing the world that they never stop to consider their home communities are about the best places to start on. Officials report the Victory Loan to be lagging behind that which was expected. Some people have to be argued into giving a dime to a blind man, And now comes the new definition of a kiss—putting two and two together. A LEAGUE OF PEOPLES Has a league of nations ever been tried before? Some say that it has, and quote examples. Here is a short history of' some attempts. When Czar Alexander of Russia suggested an international organization for peace in 1815, he had in mind a concrete union of Russia, Prussia and Austria. His zeal was really progressive, and at that time he did not belong to the reactionary forces of Europe. The Holy Alliance was formed in September, 1815, and in November the Quadruple Alliance was organized in order to allow Great Britain into the Alliance. Three years later at Aix-la-Chapelle, France was admitted, and the occupational armies of the Allies withdrawn. But from that time on, Metternich, the reactionary leader of Austria began to misinterpreting the Alliance. Converting Alexander to his plans, the Quadruple Alliance was interpreted to favor the reactionary aims of the Austrian government and her desires to re-establish the old regime in Italy. Great Britain, however, would not agree to the entire league going into Italy and attacking the revolutionary government, and finally brake from the Alliance. In a few years the Alliance was dead. The Alliance failed because it was not an alliance of the people, but an alliance of the crowned heads of Europe. The League of Nations today is far different from the old Alliance of 1815. Some critics doom it to failure because the Quadruple Alliance failed. A League of Peoples has not yet been tried. The chance that the German peace delegates will still be there in December is about the greatest possibility the Huns will ever have of eating that much heralded Christmas dinner in Paris. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 A winning political candidate says an election shows who his friends are; the losing candidate says that an election shows how many enemies he has.

Not a single squirrel sheet came out during the entire election. DO YOU CRAVE SOUL FOOD? Just now the pessimist is betting on the length of time it will be before the names of city streets named in honor of now popular heroes will be changed. These are not the days that try men's souls; far from it, for in the early days of Spring many persons discover for the first time in the new year that they have souls—individual souls all their own. Instead, these are the days that try men's ability to stick to the grind, to buckle down to the study of dry text books and musty theories when all nature is calling for rest from everything in the line of duty except what each fancy wills. But everyone will agree that in the last few months of the long winter session it is the height of folly to allow one's self to fall into the mental state of lassitude which accompanies Spring. Now is the time when the will power of which most persons are proud should be brought into play. A few more weeks of strict mental discipline and the vacation will be at hand when books for a short while at least may be forgotten. Individual application at this time is an act of wisdom. Such application may steal a march on the other fellow. It may raise the slow student to higher standing, not only in the grade books of the profs, but in the self esteem and confidence of the student himself. And furthermore, to many, without this application, the delusion of the joys of Spring may be felt painfully next year. THE COURT OF THE WORLD SITS The German peace delegates must be on the water wagon; they are living in Paris at the Hotel Reservoir. The court which will try the exKaiser will be a most peculiar one. It will be an international tribunal composed, according to the plan now formulated, of five judges, one from each of the five nations: The United States of America, Great Britain, France, Italy, and Japan. This quintet of judges will sit to try Wilhelm Hohenzollern, not for breach of criminal law, but for "a supreme offense against international morality and the sanctity of treaties." The "highest motives of international policy" will guide the judges. The proposal of the tribunal is in keeping with our new sense of internationalism. It aims to give the world the status of disapproving such acts as break treaty obligations and as offend international morality. The revised covenant of the League of Nations is made public and the court to try Wilhelm Hohenzollern is proposed, but this all fades to unimportance. Our men are coming in from overseas. Although in general Bill Hohenzoller's life in the last few months has been a gloomy one, no doubt he has enjoyed the recent peace conference controversy immensely. One enterprising mathematics student figured out that if each student would pull one dandelion the first day and double the number pulled each succeeding day, in twenty days one billion would be exterminated. The most bitter cursing of this rainy weather has been done by the man who has been looking forward all winter to the time when the baseball season would open. As soon as the spring elections are over the sale of "cokes" will drop back to normal. Now that the popular sport of hiking is seasonable, the sale of poison ivy cures should pick up. If the weather then is like it is now, July 1 may be wet after all. What is the connection between squirrel prints and nuts?

Under the proper form of University Senate ordinance, some enterprising student ought to be induced to put in some modern, all-stair bill boards, and lease space at a reasonable rate.

ANOTHER WAR CASUALTY ANOTHER WAR CASUALTY *Ya don't seem to feel so enthusiastic as you did when making-a-make* "Well," answered Senator Sorghum, "times have changed, and it isn't so easy for a man in a silk hat and a frock-coat to stand out before a lot of men in khaki uniforms or overalls and assert he is saving the country all by himself." - Washington Star. Representative Esch was defending his bill for the unscrambling of the railroads "I believe in the railroads," he said. "I am an optimist. Pessimists, you'll find, are poor stuff all round. A preacher once said to a Wisconsin pessimist: "How dare you rail at Providence like that. How dare you say you have nothing to be thankful for? Why man, look at your neighbor, Curtis. His wife has just been carried off by the grin! Just prior to his debate on the League of Nations with the president of Harvard College, someone asked Senator Lodge just what his real kick was against the league. Lodge laughed. " 'Well,' snarled the pessimist, 'what good does that do me? I ain't Curtis.' " "On musical grounds, if for no other reason, I am opposed to the league. All my life I have been singing 'My Country, 'tis of Thee' and I simply am unequal to the menal effort of changing to 'Our Countries, 'tis of Those."
