The Daily Kansan aims to picture the future of Kansas; to go further than more printing the news by aiding for it; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be respectful; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to educate the students of the University. TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 1919. At a time when Senate leaders and the general student body seemed to have agreed upon a working plan for student representation in their government, it is most unfortunate that an anonymous yellow "squirrel print" should appear. Personal attack is not the road to adoption of a good principle. A REVIVAL OF THE GAME A REVIVAL OF THE GAME With the first warm, sunshine days of spring comes a desire to every man in the University to don old clothes and get busy lobbing a baseball. The baseball fever is as sure an accompaniment of spring as the first robin; the freshman cap, and the slump in the dried prune market. Before the war every man had a chance to play in real ball games, either in the hash-house or interfraternity leagues. Due to war conditions these leagues did not exist last year, but with the coming of spring there is every reason why they should be revived this season. In 1915 there was a hash-house league with twenty-four teams entered in which 350 men participated in active play. The interest of 500 additional men and women at the various clubs was given to this league. There was also a fraternity league that year with eight teams entered. This league probably gave another hundred men the opportunity to play in this favorite sport. In 1916, although the hash-house league came nearly going out of existence due to lack of playing space, it was finally organized with twelve teams. The Grady club won the pennant and was rewarded with a banquet. A Pen-Hellenic league was also organized with twelve clubs and a downown merchant gave a trophy to the winning team. This year presents a great opportunity for the haushouse and interfraternity leagues to be revived. There is no doubt as to the popularity of the game. A walk through the streets in the boarding house and fraternity district will show the number of men outside playing baseball. The need for the success of the hush-house is for a president who has the enthusiasm and energy to put the scheme through. The enthusiasm of Dutch Wedell who is coaching varsity baseball, for such work is well known and if Dutch will accept the job there is little doubt that but he will make a success of it. With a regular schedule arranged and with the possibility of championship series at the end of the season, popular interest will put it through. Enthusiasm for baseball leagues is spontaneous and the man who can manage an organization of this sort will soon be known. "How cold is it when it is twice as cold as two degrees above zero." A FABLE—SEND 'EM IN Last night at ten minutes past eleven a student threw a shoe at his best girl's picture, smashed a window pane with his gold watch, kicked his new hat into the hall, foamed at the mouth, and registered disgust. Smothering an ill-concealed yawn, his roomie looked up slowly. "W'a 'smatter?" "This Senate gives me a pain. Look how these dances are bein' run. The Student Council's asleep. Athletes are on the blink. Where's all our pep? The school's ready for th' undertaker. It's so dead there won't even be a wake." "Well don't get all wrought up over it. Send a communication to the Daily Kansas. With a chortle of glee the student eized his pen. "That's the right idea! Why didn't I think of that before?" And the echoes of his scratching pen reverberated through the midnight air. MAKING THE TOWN SAFE MAKING THE TOWN SAFE The customary wave of robberies and holdups which is a regular winter feature of most neighboring large cities seems at last to have reached Lawrence. Two holdups have occurred recently in South Park and up to the present time the local police have obtained no evidence of the robbers. With the large number of young people in the town, Lawrence presents an easy mark for the ygggman. If such crimes are allowed to go un punished it will soon be unsafe for students to be, upon the streets late at night. Of course it is not possible for the Lawrence police to patrol every section of the town but it is urgent that a special watch be kept over illighted, sparcely settled districts through which students are accustomed to walk. South Park, for example, is much used and is very poorly lighted. Although the Lawrence police system is seldom spoken of as an organization of high efficiency it is to be hoped that its efforts be centered in an endeavor to check the series of crime that is manifesting itself. The police have recently showed much energy in arresting a few of the motor car drivers who violate the intricate traffic rules of the town. A worthier action will be an earnest attempt to protect the safety of the citizens of Lawrence. GET INTO THIS WORLD GAME What is your attitude toward the League of Peace? Do you think it is a good thing and expect great things of it? Or do you think that it is impractical? President Wilson in his Boston speech, in explaining the seeming slowness of the conference said: When we consider the time that it takes these men, versed in international affairs to decide these questions, it behoves us not to be hasty with either our condemnation or approval of it. But we should know something about the matter that will undoubtedly hold an important place in the history of the world. "What we are doing is to hear the whole case; hear it from the mouths of the men most interested; hear it from those who are officially commissioned to state it; hear the rival claims; hear the claims that affect new nationalities, that affect new areas of the world, that affect new commercial and economic conditions that have been established by the great world war through which we have gone." Let us not be content to say, "I don't believe it will work or I think it is a fine thing" without having something back of our statement to justify an opinion. As college men and women, we should be able to talk intelligently on the proposed League of Peace.

Arthur Guiterman in Life Campus Opinion In a recent issue of the Kansan it was announced that the order of the Golden K had been revived this year at the University. To one who has watched the organization rather closely in the past it knew that many students who "revived" this organization and upon what authority it was "revived." THE KNIGHTS OF GOLDEN K To The Daily Kansan: If memory is not at fault, the Knights of the Golden K in the past was an organization automatic in membership. The membership was composed of the presidents of the various classes, the captains of the athletic teams, the editor and business manager of the Jayhawker, and other students who by obtaining high offices in student activities automatically formed the membership of the Knights of the Golden K. This was the idea of membership upon which the organization was founded, but since its recent revival, there are great many changes to be noted. At present many members of the order have never been elected to office in the University, and many of them cannot be said to be prominent in student activities. Furthermore, students who according to the origi- native organization would be members, have not been admitted to the Knights. Upon consideration of the manners in which it was "revived" and the personnel of the new order it would seem to one who views it only from the outside that the "revival" is merely another one of the clever ways certain groups of individuals are accustomed to slip it over on certain other groups of individuals in the University who are often termed "suckers" in the great world beyond. No doubt the "revival" will get by just as other little coups of similar nature get by, but an interesting sidelight would be furnished by hearing through the Daily Kansan from some other person who is wonderin' about the new order. Interested. GERMAN IN WISCONSIN The movement to pass a law prohibiting the teaching of a foreign language in public, private, and parochial schools of Wisconsin is evoking practically the same kind of a fight as arose 30 years ago when Governor Hoard went down to defeat 'because he had obtained the passage of a simple measure requiring that all schools give instruction in the English language. Indeed to such an extent is this case that it would seem to anyone 'following the proceedings at Madison, Wisconsin, where hearings are being held before a legislative committee, that Wisconsin in all these 30 years, including the tremendous years of the world war, had changed almost not at all along this line. Once more representatives of the German Lutheran churches and the German Roman Catholic church and the Polish Roman Catholic church are appearing to plead that their teaching plans be not disturbed. They are very ready to plead the rights of religious training and to say that the bill will be equivalent to persecution to them, but the great question of Americanization seems not to be entertained by them unless some one brings it up by specific questioning. When Ernest von Briesen of Milwaukee appeared before the committee as representing the Lutheran churches, he left the inference, according to the member of the state House of Representatives who is the author of the bill in question, that he represented 70,000 voters. M a n y loyalty men took this to mean that if the teaching of German is stopped in the parochial schools the foreign-speaking voters of Wichita will have to see that they shall have pushed through this measure on the ground that it is necessary to complete Americanization. That the bill goes a little too far in abolishing German from the high schools is the belief of many. They would like to see it an elective subject in the secondary school. The bill, it is thought, can and may be so amended. But the fight is not primarily on this point. It is rather seen by many as a fight by the church schools to keep up the practice even at the expense of the complete unification of Wisconsin. To appreciate what the action of the opponents of this measure really means, it should be remembered that there are whole communities of Wisconsin who still, think, and worship in German, whose ideas are rooted in their history to all intents and purposes, might be living in Prussia or Bavaria. The aim of those who are fighting for the exclusive teaching of English in the grade schools is, therefore, that these communities be Americanized by giving the children within them an opportunity to learn the language of the United States. The church representatives who go to Madison to plead for the German language cannot, it would seem, escape the conclusion that when they do this they are smiling at these children of German descent the right—denied them until now—of understanding their citizenship in a nation that has embodied into its institutional life Anglo-Saxon ideals—Christian Science Monitor.
