The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the text on paper. University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courteous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to develop a keen aptitude to the students of the University.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR'S DUTY
Probably the readers of the Kansan are growing tired of the rant about a cleaner campus, and it is the hope of the paper that they will become so tired that they will keep the campus clean and make campaigns against the bill distributers impossible. The campus today is in worse shape than it has been at any time during the year, and the Kansan favors a strict enforcement of the rule which forbids the distributing of printed matter on the campus.
THE COUNTRY EDITOR'S DUTY Kansas Newspaper Week, which brought more than 200 editors of country dailies and weeklies to the University, proved conclusively at least one thing--that the press of the Sunflower state is becoming more and more powerful each year as a moulder of public opinion in the rural districts. To even the casual observer the change that is coming over the farming districts is evident.
Public opinion in rural communities is made largely through the group life of that community, that is, through the bodies which find themselves bound together by a common tie or interest. That tie may be church affiliation, occupation, family connection, nationality, education, or any one of a dozen things, and it is only by appealing to it that the editor can make his paper a power in directing and crystallizing opinion on any given question. The Kansas newspaper men have found this out and the stories of the service that they have done to the state will be told in the histories of the future.
Newspapers have changed backward communities, whose groups were antagonistic, to progressive districts, by harmonizing the warring elements and finding a common meeting ground for them. The state is only on the beginning of this movement and much work remains to be done. It is started however, in the right direction and the newspaper of the future that would be powerful must be a community servant.
THE LITTLE THINGS
Two students sat in the library talking in an undetent. Presently the librarian was circling round to where the two conversed. Then, coming to a position, the watchful librarian said gently: "Will you kindly adjourn to the outside, as you are annoying all the students in the room?"
Five minutes later a man of weight entered and engaged the same watchful librarian, just outside the doorway of the library office. A lengthy and distinct conversation ensued. Such being a "rare treat" in the library, the students listened intently.
It's the little things that count.
THE HABIT OF SAVING
American housekeepers are wasteful and extravagant, according to Senator Smoot, who told the United States Senate that "No women on the face of the earth are so wasteful as American women, and the average
American housewife throws enough food into the garbage can to keep an average workingman's family in France or Germany, where the most rigid economy is observed."
America is noted for its "come easy, go easy" method of existence. But isn't it time to change that old worn out custom? The habit of thrift is being urged by the banks, and from the reports published semi-annually, it appears to be bearing fruit. Educational campaigns are showing the housewife how she may prepare an appetizing meal without buying the most expensive cut of porterhouse. Since the war, the shortage of paper has made a number of concerns save their waste, which they had been burning in the furnace.
The majority of the present generation of students is working its way through the University, and is economizing where possible. America may be behind the Old World in habits of saving, but it can learn rapidly.

"Ladie-ees and gentlemen," said the lecturer, "I shall talk to you on Time this afternoon. I came on Time, I shall talk on Time, and I shall quit on Time. Time is the most ancient of all institutions. Before the watch, we had the clock. Before the clock, the sun-dial; and before the sun-dial, the crocodile."

"His very threat was moral. You saw a good deal of it. You looked over a very low fence of white cavat (whereof no man ever beheld the tie, for he fastened it behind me, two jutting heights of collar, serene and whiskerless before you. It seemed to say on the part of Mr. Pecksniff, 'There is no deception, ladies and gentlemen, all is peace, a holy calm pervades me.' So did his hair, just grizzled with red scales, he wiped off his forehead, and stood high upright, so slightly dropped in kindred action with his eyelids. So did his person, which was sleek through free from coruplesy. So did his manner, which was soft and oily. In a word, even his plain black suede coat, eyescars, all tended to the same purpose, and cried aloud, 'Behold the moral Pecksniff'!"

James Russell Lowell, critic and diplomat, was born at Cambridge, Mass. February 21, 1819 and died Aug. 12, 1891. He became drawn into literature by Maria White whom he afterward married. Her entombment is also the name he wrote some of his best works and was given a purpose for writing.
POET'S CORNER
Lowell was the first editor of the Atlantic Monthly and held an editorial connection with the North American Review, from 1862 to 1873. Many of his critical essays were written during this time.

Then heaven tries the earth if it be in tune.

CAMPUS OPINION
Of the newly elected librarian at Yale University it is said that "no man at the university knows books as he does." Yet he also is a successful adminstrator, and many of his students are similar institutions of late years have put the economics of library administration above its humanities that it is a pleasure to note Yale's wisdom and good fortune. For at some college libraries leadership in students rests unfortunately with student-builders and catalog makers.
The elections have come and gone and the best men have been elected—that is the best men in the opinion of the majority of the student body. We have a new student body, we need more support to make the plan a success. Their success will depend on the support that they receive from us and without support they will surely fail. We are continually harping about the failure of student government and the necessity of getting resentful against the responsive men now—what are we going to do about it? Knocking will make success for them impossible. Boosting will make it inevitable. Let's all get on the band wagon and boost. With a real student-owned and student-operated book exchange the students can get their books forward. Student government will have justified itself. I am in favor of burying not only the hatchet but also the hammer.

Major-General Leonard Wood, U. S. A., in giving testimony before a Congressional committee, gave his views on the volunteer system used in the Uni- lized States. The Outlook quotes General Wood:
CLASSIFIED
"We cannot afford to cling to the volunteer system any longer. If we are going to have an effective army," he added, "we must general military training, otherwise the good men will go first, then volunteering will stop, as it did in the Revolution and in 1812 and in the Civil War. We need our call for the Spanish War even."
The volunteer spirit is fine, affra-
General Wood, but the system is unso-
nd and spells disaster if ever we go
into real war with it.
Prof—The boys were so entranced this morning that they remained in my lecture all through the dinner hour. You didn't did it, didn't them up—Tiger.
"It is not generally realized that under the Act of 1782 we had compulsory training, but never really applied to the adult population, live it today to the extent that all from eighteen to forty-five years of age are liable for military duty. There seems to be no general appreciation of this; certainly there has been a great interest in discharging such service affectively." General Wood pertinently said.
