The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the class than merely printing the news; he then merely printing the news in a new way of holding; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be assertive; to be aggressive; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, and to satisfy the students of the University.

Nothing is clearer to me than that the present state of your life is as good for philosophy and improvement any other whatever... Marcuus Aurclus.
DEAN SAYRE DAY
The establishing of an annual "Dean Sayre Day" by the students in the School of Pharmacy is a welcome addition to the list of special days which are observed at the University. Probably no man has done more for the special field in which he is interested than has Dean L. E. Sayre for the profession of pharmacy in the state of Kansas. The Dean has been connected with the School of Pharmacy since 1885 and in the years which have passed he has seen graduates of his school fil'l the drug stores of the state. He is a contributor to many of the trade journals of the drug trade, a thorough student and a recognized authority in the Missouri Valley on all matters pharmaceutical.
CAN WAR BE STOPPED?
It remained for a British war officer to give us a new point for consideration in the matter of militarism.
in the matter of militarism.
“If you want to kill forever the itching for war, you must try to make peace a little less respectable, a little more spirited. For all your fine metaphor, a self-acting machine is not such fun to handle as a rifle, nor a guardian's meeting so intoxicating as a bayonet charge. In so many thousands, active service with all its discomforts and horrors, comes in the guise of a welcome relief from the uncongenial slavery of the counting-house and the factory. You must inquire whether desire for adventure, as compared with the desire for domination, does not play a much larger part than you had realized, in that very complex attitude of mind which you describe rather perfunctorily as militarism, and whether you can not devise for us all some kind of a return to nature sufficiently alluring to satiate the nerves in our brains.”
Has he hit upon a truth, or is this merely some more "fine metaphor"? We are constrained to say that the attitude of the peoples of Europe do not seem to bear his statement; that is, if we have gained from the newspapers, any sort of a true conception of their aversion for their present employment.
A REAL MONEY-RAISER
As a money-raiser, it is said, Booker T. Washington stood without a peer. He it was who begged and borrowed the beginnings of Tuskegee Institute, and his persuasive talents made possible the great buildings and spacious grounds of what the Atlanta Constitution has called "the largest and most complete educational plant in the South." The present endowment, which nearly touches the $2,000,000 mark, was raised principally by him, as well as the balance of the $150,000 yearly running expenses that the income from the endowment does not cover. Now that Dr. Washington is gone, the friends of the Institute are faced with the problem that his
personality and earnestness always solved before, and they are not overconfident of equaling his endeavors in fund-raising. Over $3,000,000 must be added to the endowment, and menu-will the running expenses must be paid, and inevitable outlays made for new equipment. Undoubtedly the money will be raised, but not as readily as in Washington's time—Literary Digest.
HEAVEN-GUIDED WAR
Field Marshal von Mackensen, in his recent visit to Constantinople, is reported to have told the Sultan of Turkey that his success was due to divine guidance and the valor of his troops. If the statement is true, and, after reading European war reports for two years it seems probable that it is, it would seem well for the German general to reverse the order of his statement. No doubt the conqueror of Russia does believe that God is guiding him, for purposes of public consumption, at least, but he gives the Turks credit for little intelligence when he asks them to believe that the Lord had more to do with the success of the Russian campaign than the soldiers who did the work.
A LESSON FROM SHAKESPEARE
Shakespeare, according to his biography by Sir Sidney Lee, always lived near a playhouse and kept himself saturated with the atmosphere of the drama. He realized that to make good in his profession as a playwright he had to be on the job at least twelve hours a day. In this fact there is a lesson for every student. The man who would be successful lives the work which he has selected. Time well spent in spare hours will make as many successes as perfect recitations in the class room.

THE STARS' GOOD MICH
THE STARS' GOOD NIGHT
The moon shone bright on Cameron's
The stars in full array
Came twinkling out one April night
And shot each gilt't ring, ray
Upright that the star
Then blushing said, "good night."
Then blushing said "good night."
The baptismal ceremonies of one of the north side colored churches attracted a large crowd of watchers to the Kaw river bridge yesterday at noon. The ceremonies took place in the river about a quarter of a mile above the bridge, and while not as unpleasant as many think, it was south it had its due share of importance in the minds of the participants.
Two exciting events Friday were the first annual appearance of the organ-grinder and the monkey and the pa-
ter. The event was given by the Lawrence high school.

Of course their statements are ox-aggered too. We all believe in the Kansas liquor laws because it is absolutely prohibitive of an evil all recognize. But when it comes to regulating by law the method by which a man must take his tobacco, well, it's peculiar isn't it? The reformers tell the truth that he must prepare juice or a cigar but not a cigarette. Why shouldn't he prescribe the way in which our cooks must prepare the meat?
—Smoker.
I know that others find you in the light
That's sifted down through tinted window-panes.
And yet I seem to feel You near to night
In this dim, quiet starlight on the plains.
Let me be easy on the man that's down;
Let me be square and generous with all.
I'm careless sometimes, Lord, when I'm in town,
But never let 'em say I'm mean or small.
Make me as big and open as the plains,
As honest as the hawse between my knees,
Free as the wind that blows behind the rains,
Free as the hawk that circles down the breeze."
Charles Badger Clark, Jr.
The University is again experiencing one of those sporadic outbursts of righteousness, which comes to it about once a year, and this time the cigar-butt against which the knights of morality are hurling their spears.
Editor Daily Kansen:
We will grant that the cigarette habit is an evil, a sort of mild, negative evil which has been greatly exaggerated by the reformers, but just because it isn't the best thing for the college man, need the reformers try to force him to stop? Haven't the Fourth of July orators from time immemorial come up with the States is a free country, and that personal rights should not be curtailed?
Opinions of the Movies The Moment Before
Unique, interesting and unusually worth while was "The Moment Before" in which Pauline Frederick was featured at the Bowersock Theater last night. In place of the usual succession of chronological events, the time of action jumped from the last part of a woman's life back to the first and then back again to her old age.
A few scenes precede the death of the Duchess and in the moment before her death, which has been forstoid by a Gypsy fortune teller, the whole of her past life flashes before her mind. From the scenes of her former life the time then shifts back to the scene of her death.
"A Moment Before" was written by Israel Zangwell, the well-known author of "The Melting Pot." Retribution is the theme of the piece. In organization the play is good, its ability to hold the attention of the audience is commendable, and the portrayal of the play by Miss Frederick and her supporting cast is excellent. In all it was one of the best films of its kind that has been shown recently in Lawrence.
The Moment Before
Militant.
CAMPUS OPINION
Editor University Kansan:
Communication must be signed as evidence of good faith and written or published without the writer's consent.
Before your paper gives up its attempt to sound out the opinion of women students on the cigarette smoking evil I would like to tell of an experience which I had recently. I was on the way to a class and was accosted by a man friend who said: "If you do not mind my smoking a cigarette I will walk to class with you." I told him that if he wanted to want smoke he could walk behind me. He threw his cigarette away and when I saw him in the afternoon of the same day he said that he had not smoked since morning. Don't you think this is the proper way to handle such a situation? I am in favor of seeing the women of the University assert themselves. By taking a stand you can decrease the earnings of Lawyers tobacco merchants at least one half.
Character in Coat Lapels
THE lapels must be shaped right and made to stay right, or the whole appearance of the suit and the man inside of it may be commonplace.
