Address a1, communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas, Phone, Bell K. U. 25.
The Daily Kananan aims to picture the undergraduate in the classroom as to go further than merely printing the text on paper. The University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be modest and to be aroused; to leave more serious problems to wise heads, in all, to teach and to qualify the students of the University.

I have no greater joy than to hear
children walk in truth—in truth
JH. John 5, 4.
THE MAY FETE
Cloudy weather and an imperfect seating arrangement made the May Fete less of a success than it would have been under other conditions, but as it was few people went away dissatisfied. K. U. has an ideal spot for such occasions in the golf links. The intense green of the foliage which formed a background for the actors, the broad swell of the grass-covered hills and the cunning costumes of the choruses made the tore a thing to be remembered.
The ceremony of the Torch society was a fitting end for the afternoon program and the new Torches should realize the necessity of keeping the light burning.
"The Stuff of Laughter," Prot Percy B. Shostae's mediacal fantasy which was given at night was also hampered by the lowering weather The natural amphitheatre was full of spectators, however, and the play got across. The lines are clever and true to the time in which the scenes are laid.
THE ORPET TRIAL
A philosophical man is one who continues to believe that he's right after it's proved to him that he isn't.
The trial of William Orpet, University of Wisconsin student who is accused of having murdered a former sweetheart, opens today at Waukee, Michigan. The details of the sordid story, which have been extensively aired in the press, will again be brought forth.
Whether Orpet is guilty or not his story may well be followed by every man in the University of Kansas, for it contains a lesson that many young men need to learn. It is a lesson of the necessity of maturity—of looking before you leap. We have too many boys in college, who are accustomed to being forgiven for their transgressions because they are boys. Boys have no place in a University and the sooner parents realize this fact the sooner fewer college youths will go wrong.
THE LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
COUNT
After all what are the things that make a senior class great? Surely not the number and the costliness of "tomb-stones" that might be left b the "campus-beautiful."
Several months back there was a child born to a member of the senior class. The president of the class officially appointed a committee which was to collect ten cents from each member of the class to go into a fund which was to be turned over to the child on becoming of age. The child was likewise declared the class baby.
It's so easy to start expeditions, most any "fordite" can be a starter, but it takes a "rosevelter" to make it succeed. The Chancellor, the Dean
of the College, and the Registrar were among the thirty that contributed to the fund, "that was to be." The chairman of the committee, though handicapped, struggled to make the class baby endowment an honor to the class, but like so many of the little things the "expedition" was a failure.
It was a good joke.
It is the little things that count.
THE MEN IN THE NEWS
Every day across the heads of the papers run references to a score of men we do not know. The Ferris Bill in Congress has created considerable interest but the question, "Who is Ferris," is seldom asked. It is nevertheless true that he like many others is not so remote an individual. Hon. Scott Ferris is in fact a native of Missouri.
In a vague way we have Gilford Pinchot located as a man of considerable note. His name may even bring to mind forests and forestry but his life, his work at Yale and his years of service in the conservation of the national forests are as a whole unknown to us.
We know that M. Stephanous Skouloudis is Greek premier but as a whole we are ignorant of the fact that he started his life as a shop employee. He worked into the banking business until he proved himself through the management of his private business, competent to hold his present place.
Truly who are the men in the news?

My watch, it grieveeth me. In the morning I set it with the whistle. The next hour it merrily gaineth three minutes. I chastise it and expostulate with it, it runneth sorrowfully and dejectedly, and by noon is five minutes slow. But the whistle is an honorable whistle, the Kansan hait said it. Surely inaccuracy shall follow my watch all the days of the whistle.

POETS CORNER
A merry little dandelion
Sat smiling in the sun,
Her golden hair was all aglow,
Life's joys had just begun.
But ah! this little dandelion
Grew older day by day,
Her golden hair that shown so bright
Was now, alas! turned gray.
But that was not the worst, my friend.
For on one summer's day,
There came a little puff of wind,
And blew it all away.

GUTTER-SNIPE ETHICS
Editor Daily Kansan
There has recently been formed at the University of Kansas an organization known as the Anti-Cigarette Club. The said organization certainly must have a lofty purpose. None of us have any objections to a man joining a club which pledges its members to leave tobacco alone. Every man has a right to his own views about his conduct.
But recently the said organization wanted to become known—and it certainly has branded itself in the eyes of the students( one cannot say in what light)—and so took some action as regards smoking on the Hill. Some of the members of the organization have called on members of the Senate and asked that action be taken.
Now, action can be taken on most anything. The gentlemen don't seem to have formulated any definite plan. All they want is "action."
But if said attendants at the smoke-less smoker had stopped with that, they would not have won for their organization the nickname—"Creeper." But they have not stopped there. Their members have been seen at various places on the campus "snooping" around to see if they could find someone smoking. Like Sherlock Holmeses, these males—creep around on their hands and knees with a big glass looking for those who make smoke stacks out of their noses.
It really seems strange that a man who has been at the University even a month would so be led by his sentiments that he would come to this. We have no objection to a man joining an organization to keep himself from smoking, but do look with just a id utterment on a "squelter."
As one who does not use 'em; would raise the question as to whether any man of recognized importance in medical circles has given positive condemination, and has proved all of the willingness, and the subtle deadly awfulness which is indiscriminately assigned to tobacco in general?
TOBACCO A QUESTION?
One nice feature connected with the organization of this Anti-Cigarette League is the diversion furthest from the mouth, which varies arguments for and against it.
None of us admire gutter-snip
ethics.
True now are ever,—"M men have come from time to time, but how many drums to tobacco?"
Editor Daily Kansan:

So if he likes it why should he not smoke,—though to some of us it looks just a little lax to see him smoking in the company of ladies.

Have you been wondering about the Kansan next year? Yes? So have we.
The Kansan Next Year?
The news may not be startling, comical, sad, gleeful or any of three or four hundred other adjectives that might be "appellated" to news.
But it will be news and enough to make you glad to call at the office before school is out to renew for 1916-17.
You don't need to worry about when we are going to spring it on you. Just read the paper regularly—like you do now—and you can't help seeing our grand splurge. It will be in large type.
tion, find some surprising "little ones" in our own personal habits or manners.
Would suggest to the Aunties that such names as "Smokeless Smoker" seem hardly appropriate for their children, but appropriate of smoke, it seems should be taboo.
Why not call them together for a "Gum Chew," "A Lemonade Sip," a "Sandwicher," a "Taffy Pull," or perhaps a "Gents '7ea"—but there we "pulled a bone" as tea would be too strong for them.

Editor Daily Kansan:
—We Believe in Advertising
We are pleased to notice that the Kansan is following out Billy Sunday's recommendation of giving front page space to questions of morality. We are certainly glad to see some man of the University who has sufficient backbone to stand up against this conventions are strong enough that he will not rest until he gets them in a conspicuous place on the front page. With our brother Anti-Cig, we wish to extend our welcome to the new "Guardian of the innocence of the men of this University." We realize that in the case of the summit of mechanical perfection men too are becoming more or less mechanical in their habits. We knew that they had reached the stage where they had to toot for the crossings but we did not realize that it was yet necessary for them to commit suicide. We agree that in case the Mexican nerial fleet should attack the hill, a murky atmosphere might aid us greatly in getting into the subterran can passages before the piercing eye of the enemy could overcome the gloom. The folks at home were very much interested in the outcome of our last page and we are sure that after reading the article of our friend (page one, May 11) they will not hesitate to send our younger brothers up here to imbibe this pure moral atmosphere.
