Billy Sunday has come and gone and the University of Kansas has given him its unqualified indorsement. The usual Sunday emotionalism was not overdone and the immense crowd heard nothing that could have been considered offensive. The usual Sunday hyperbole was toned down to suit the occasion, and the usual Sunday acrobatics were less sensational than when the evangelist gets deep in a sermon. The address to Kansas newspaperman showed that Mr. Sunday is a scholar and in touch with the vital questions of the day. This morning the baseball preacher made 3,000 friends, all of whom would like to see him come again.
THE 1916 JAYHAWKER
The 1916 Jayhawk, the Senior Annual, was distributed this morning Each year, before the books are printed, the staff members make their brags of getting out the biggest, the best, the handsomest book that has ever yet been printed. Their enthusiasm is usually discounted 50 per cent so the book may be taken at its real value.
But the Jayhawer distributed this morning really is above the ordinary degree of mediocrity. The three color work, the quality of the engraving, the general appearance of the book, is far above the average annual produced. Even though the war was able to hold the annual back two whole days, it evidently did not hurt the book's quality in the slightest degree.
The Jayhawker management and editorial staff is proud of its efforts. The University, too, may well feel a bit vain over the 1916 year book.
Congress is passing an immense number of bills. The average stude is passing up an immense number.
The question of "What is a man's services worth?" often arises. Each senior is asking himself that question as he prepares to leave the University. Each of us has a certain figure which we ought to be able to earn. But there is no way of making a definite rule to apply to anything so uncertain as our earning capacity. Money is a most imperfect standard to measure one's worth to his employer or to the community. Some of the greatest men in the history of the world, the men who have left their stamp upon the world's civilization, were the poorest of the poor during their life time.
MEASURING ONE'S SERVICES
Christ's services were rendered without thought of return, either from the community or from those who heard him preach. Yet the stamp of his work has changed the whole world. Mohamet's life was in danger, for the
work he did among his Arabian followers, and yet it has changed the life of the whole Ottoman race.
Bobbie Burns, Goldsmith, Edgar Allen Poe, were scarcely able to earn enough to eat during their lifetime, yet their work has lived after them, and is now recognized at its full worth. But their services were not considered as worth much of anything during their lifetime.
The world pays tribute to Charlie Chaplin's services at the rate of $650, 000 annually. Jess Willard receives thousands for a couple of hours batting of a pugilistic antagonist Mary Pickford, Geraldine Farrar, Billy Burke, Mme. Schumann Heink, all earn more than the president of the United States. Does it follow that they are of more worth to the country? Will the artist Blakelock, who sold paintings for a few paltry dollars, that are worth thousands today, be remembered longer, and receive a homage which will ever compensate him for those weary years in which he painted and painted, and found no buyers? The public is a fickle jade.
So when our efforts are not appreciated, and it looks as though we are not receiving our just dues, we may look back over the world's history, and find that few, very few, were rewarded to the full measure of their services.
Jayhawk Squawks
We'll have to read the story again to find out, but we have a faint suspicion that when Rip took that famous poem, he was reading somebody's Master's thesis.
It is probable, however, that some people attend these highbrow concerts to have fun.
After she has been in her seat half an hour, the average woman has completed her preliminaries, and is ready to enjoy the show.
At home now, Johnny is negotiating for the bribes that will induce him to commit his "piece" for the last day of school.
Better a live coward than a dead hero, and a bald head than "died" hair.
Col. Roosevelt says that the people are all right and "all they need is to be woke up." To find out what the Colonel needs, we recommend you to any English prof.
"I couldn't tell at first," he explained, "whether he was a member of the Symphony Orchestra or attending a concert." He uses the same hair-cuts, you know.
Habit is a marvelous force. Hearing that Sunday was coming today, a number of our friends slept all morning.
We never saw one do it, but still it may be possible for an exceptionally virile man to carry an umbrella without looking sisterly.
One of the visiting journalists missed a whole morning's program because he arrived too late. He didn't better than to ride up on a street car.
The presence of a number of print-
ers' masks" should have made Billy
feel at home.
We pressure this draft will be quite a blow to the average Englishman.

SCHOOL and college are not making your daughter want the foolishish frivolous in jewelry. Instead her preference is decidedly for sensible things—jewelry of distinctiveness.
She wants a watch — if he hasn't one now, she wants a watch. He is not the only one with his hair curls, his hair curls, his hair curls, and fasteners for her hair curls, and buckets and the new bat jackets.
