THE WEATHER
COUNTY CLUB UNION IS NEEDED
Generally fair tonight and Thursday; probable frost in western portion.
Along with most other pre-war activities, the County Club Union, which did such excellent work in securing the passage of the permanent income amendment, this year seems to have come to an untimely halt in its much needed help for University affairs.
Such a lull in the activity of the Union during the war was only to be expected, and fortunately the big work of the organization was accomplished before the war so seriously depleted the student body. But now the University is rapidly assuming a normal atmosphere the important County Club Union should be revived at once.
The County Club Union forms the closest link connecting the State University with other state educational institutions. In securing the passage of the permanent income bill, it was largely the County Club Union that brought the students of the other state educational institutions and the students of the University into close cooperation.
In addition to this, the County Club Union brings together all the students of the various counties of the state, and this not only brings about friendship interest among the entire student body, but it also serves as one of the best means of advertising the University over the state. During the Christmas holidays, for example, students who live in the same communities take an unusual interest in influencing high school seniors to choose K. U. as the place to finish their education. Plays and other entertainments are often given by the county clubs and thus enthusiasm for the State University is created over a wide territory.
The County Club Union is an excellent democratic means of promoting the revival of the old time spirit that is needed so much. If the Union is revived soon, as it should be, there will be plenty of work for it to do. Students with the best interests of the school at heart will direct much of their energies toward promoting the work of the Union. Its revival is needed, and will be welcomed.
To dominate or die, is no excuse for the mid-week dates, says a member of the W. S. G. A.
LOOK AT SPAIN AND BE GLAD
If there is any one in the United States today who still believes that this country was wrong in participating in the war they should take a casual glance at the situation in Spain.
Spain was neutral in so far as taking an active part in the war is concerned. In sympathies, however, she has ever been in the winning side. While the German machine was still holding up, Spain was with Germany, but as soon the the machine began to totter she saw just why she should be on the side of the Allies. But, while professing sympathy with the Allies, Spain was still inactive, and being inactive she was still against the allied cause.
Now, Spain is reaping the fruits of her careless sowing. For a time she seemed to be rising onto the higher plane of democracy, but her foot has slipped and she is again kneeling before the very ones who not long ago attempted Bolshevist, and anarchical discord. Antonio Maura is now the head of the ruling cabinet, which fact alone does not speak well for the situation in that country. But worst of all, Juan de la Cerva less than a year ago attempted to break up the great strike of postal and telegraph workers in Madrid and Barcelona by manning the offices with soldiers.
Spain had meant to start out anew, but these developments indicate that she has failed. Surely the fruits of war are in the end better than the fruits of peace when the issue at stake was the problem of making the world safe for democracy.
Censorship
When asked if he saw the tank Monday, one student said that there were so many kids hanging on it that he was even unable to determine the color of the tank.
The Kaiser, with an ex-King and ex-Emperor tacked to his name, is still designated as a count. Perhaps after his pending trial, this too will become ex.
Vast numbers of persons massed together, crowding and curious—it is the same always. Whether the cause of the crowd is a two-man tank, a circus, or a dog fight, the throng mind is much the same: fearful of injury but too much interested not to push around the object of attraction.
LET THE MEMORIAL SERVE
LET THE MEMORIAL SERVE Sentiment should not enter too much into the selection of a memorial. The University needs too many improvements to allow suggestions for a "non-essential" memorial to obtain much consideration. The men the University is to commemorate died serving humanity; they would want their memorial to serve, too.
The appropriate memorial will be neither so intensely utilitarian as to appear sacrilegious nor so sentimental as to be purely ornamental. The plans for a stadium, a University commons, a student union house and a permanent loan fund are all of a character suitable for a memorial along practical lines.
The University cannot afford to neglect its own welfare to build a highly ornate memorial. If K. U. expects to keep up with other schools, it must make its innovations with the idea in view of bringing new students here and giving them better opportunities for advancement after they come. A beautifully planned and executed group of expensive statuary would not be nearly the asset to the University a student commons or a stadium would be.
The interfraternity baseball league reports two casualties already this spring or more than the boxing class has reported all year.
The tank that is helping finish the job in the Victory Loan almost finished the job of the wreckers on North College hill.

Who asks his class to wait twenty minutes for him if he doesn't appear on time?
Beautiful angle worms packed in a candy box,
Beautiful angle worms packed in a
andy box,
Hooks and rods and corks
Hours of waiting for the first bite,
Impatiently patient.
Then——
It bites,
And you pull it out,
Only to find
No fish,
And worse than all that—
No worm.

Two friends were sitting at a table drinking tea.
A sudden bubbub arose in the street They heard pitiful groans, furious abuse, bursts of malignant laughter.
"They're beating some one," observed one of the friends, looking out of the window.
THE REPORTER
Who counts a half-minute tardy as
half a cut?
"A criminal? a murderer?" inquired the other. "I say, whatever he may be, we can't allow this illegal chastisement. Let's go and take his part." "But it's not a murderer they're beating."
"Not a murderer? Is it a thief then?
It makes no difference, let's go and get him away from the crowd."
"It's not a thief, either."
"Not a thief? Is it an absconding cashier, then, a railway director, an army contractor, a Russian art patron, a lawyer, a Conservative editor, a social reformer? . . . Any way, let's go and help him!"
"No . . . , it's a newspaper reporter they're beating."
"A reporter? Oh, I tell you what?
We'll finish our glasses of tea first,
then."
THE FOOL
—TURGENEV
For a long time he lived in peace and contentment; but by degrees rumors began to reach him that he was regarded on all sides as a vulgar idol.
There lived a fool.
The fool was abashed and began to ponder gloomily how he might put an end to these unpleasant rumors.
A sudden idea, at last, illuminated his dull little brain . . . , And, without the slightest delay, he put it into practice.
A friend met him in the street, and fell to praising a well-known painter. . . .
"Upon my word!" cried the fool,
"that painter was out of date long ago . . . . you didn't know it. I should never have expected it of you
you are quite behind the times."
The friend was alarmed, and promptly agreed with the fool.
"Such a splendid book I read yesterday!" said another friend to him.
"Upon my word, die the blood
I wonder you're not ashamed. That
book's good for nothing; every one's seen through it long ago. Didn't you know it? You're quite behind the times."
"Upon my word!" cried the fool. "N. N., the notorious scoundrel! He swindled all his relations. Every one knows that. You're quite behind the times."
This friend, too, was alarmed, and he agreed with the fool.
"What a wonderful fellow my friend N. N. is!" said a third friend to the fool. "Now there's a really generous creature!"
The third friend too was alarmed, and he agreed with the fool and deserted his friend. And whoever and whatever was praised in the fool's presence, he had the same retort for everything.
Sometimes he would add reproachfully: "And do you still believe in authorities?"
"Spiteful! malignant!" his friends began to say of the fool. "But what a brain!"
It ended in the editor of a journal proposing to the fool that he should undertake their reviewing column.
"And what a tongue!" others would add. "Oh, yes, he has talent!"
And the fool fell to criticising everything and everyone, without in the least changing his manner, or his exclamations.
Now he, who once declared against authorities, is himself an authority, and the young men venerate him, and fear him.
And what else can they do, poor young men? Though one ought not, as a general rule, to venerate anyone . . . . but in this case, if one didn't venerate him, one would find oneself quite behind the times!
--TURGENEV
Fools have a good time among cow- words.
RELIGIOUS EXERCISE
Two shipwrecked sailors were on a desert island. They were utterly misable, pinched with hunger and cold. The one more wretched than the other said to his companion, "Can you pray, Bill?"
106. "Can you sing a hymn?" "No."
"Well," said the first, "let's have something religious; let's have a collection."—Tit-Bits.

Loyal Americans Still Hope For Independence Of Home Islands-Will Go Back To Work For Country
The boy had with him a picture of the national flag of the Philippine Nation, which is forbidden by the United States to be shown in the Islands. He was homesick and in order to forget about his country and the flag he hoped to see rise again over the Islands, he told the story to a friend. The young man is a freshman engineer, and intends to go back to his country to practice his profession. His name is Luis E. JAMias, and with his brother Irinoe E. JAMias, a medical student, is attending the University
At the time of the Spanish-American war, the insurrectionists needed a flag, said Jamias. "In the Philippines Islands about the time for sunset, three stars are visible, which form a triangle. Two Filipinos were at the seashore at sunset, and no one sun sinking into the water, and conceived the flag that is depicted as sinking into the blue stripe, or the ocean, the stars forming the triangle, while the red stripe depicts the sun's rays.
"Our flag you know," Jamias said, "is made up of a red stripe and a blue one parallel to each other. In the left side of the flag a triangle is cut out with a white field, and the sun in the center; at each angle of the triangle is a star, making the sun surrounded by three stars.
that time there was a noted artist who conceived the idea of working the flag into a scenic post card without the government discovering the deception. He painted the white triangle entirely blue to correspond with the blue stripe, representing the ocean. The sun was left in its original place, with the red stripe representing its rays, but the stars were so changed that the upper one represented a bird, the middle star a boat, and the third a reflection of the bird in the water. The whole plan was worked out to represent a marine scene."
"At the time of the inauthrection, it was a severe penalty to display the flag, a prison sentence in fact. At
The national party of the Philippines, according to Jamias, at one time had a button which its members used to wear, which was a section of the flag with the sun and stars and the two stripes. It was against the rules of the government even to wear this button, but they might wear a button with a red, white and blue stripe. Even at the present time, Jamias says that he believes it is against the orders of the government of the United States to display the flag, but a verse at the bottom of the picture of the flag tells the hope of the nationalist party who, while still loyal Americans, wish to see their republic free.
"Your silvery sun
And golden stars
Will once more and forever
Shine over the land
Of the palm and pine."
