The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of a student, for further than merely printing the names on the University holdings; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be humorous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to enrich the experience of the students of the University.

LET THE CUSTOM SPREAD
"The decision of other fraternities in the University to follow the lead of the Phi Psis and adopt war babies, is the most welcome news that I have heard in many weeks", said a prominent faculty man, himself a Greek and deeply interested in the welfare of Greek letter societies, after he had read of the innovation in the Daily Kansan. "Such acts as this will do much to convince the anti-fraternity people in Kansas that there is good in such college organizations after all."
There can be no doubt as to the sincerity of the college societies in taking this step and the fact that it will involve real self-sacrifice is commendable in itself. According to the plan, the war babies are to be kept with funds that the men would otherwise have used for picture shows. And to cut out the movies is a real sacrifice—for the college student.
"AFTER THE WAR"—DICKINSON
Most people could appreciate the problem of preparedness a bit more, when they were caught in the rain between classes Friday—completely unprepared.
It is over the possibility of educating the masses to see the folly of war that G. Loves Dickinson, the English theorist of means of eradicating future warfare, seems to have the greatest difficulty in proving that there is hope for a future without war. It is upon this same trait of humanity—the use of physical force as a final method of settling difficulties—that the militarist hinges one of his strongest arguments for military preparedness.
Mr. Dickinson says that "if militarism is to be crushed it must be crushed in all countries; the victorious as well as the vanquished. . . militaria depends upon the perpetuation of fear and hatred and revenge. Collective feelings are changeable in proportion to their shallowness." Mr. Dickinson admits "that this is what all the common people want (the independent existence and free development of the smaller nationalities each with a corporate consciousness of its own—in a not remote future the United States of Europe) in all countries, if only they could be made to understand the issue, I have not the smallest doubt."
Mr. Dickinson's argument that there were certain means for the extirpating war and its accessories fails to carry conviction. He said that there were powers working against war; that war would expose itself; that man was no longer fighting against war, but against machines; and that
it would be difficult henceforth to pretend that war was anything but the greatest of follies and the greatest of crimes. The militarist meets such arguments by granting that the statements 'are true, but he holds that it is only by such means—preparedness—that peace is to be had.
The English author and lecturer maintains that the economic consequences of war must end by making themselves felt; that social reform and social justice would be destroyed for generations; and that governments would be faced by general anarchy.
In this Mr. Dickinson does not follow the teaching of his fellow English pacifist, Norman Angell, who writes in the "Great Illusion" that the nation most oppressed by the curse of war is the richer; he does not agree with the philosophy that great national stress gives birth to a new era in thought; and it has been only since the war of 1870-1 that the French Republic has felt itself secure against such anarchy as existed prior to the Franco-Prussian war.
NATIONAL "DRESS-UP" WEEK Right in line with the other cities over the United States, Lawrence today begins to "dress up" for a whole week. It is being made an annual custom, this being the second year.
This country, say the merchants, is at the present time enjoyng unprecedented prosperity, greater prosperity, in fact, than any other nation on the earth. "Dress up" and prosperity go hand-in-hand, so all the more reason why such a movement should be given publicity this year; they say.
The man who accomplishes anything worth while is the man who has confidence in himself and in his ability. Good clothes generate confidence in one's self. A man—or a woman either, never feels more self assurance, than when properly gowned or suited.
The stores down town, too, in honor of this spring "dress up" week, are going to make a special effort to appear in their Sunday best. The merchants wish to express confidence in their stock by placing it on show.

SONG
There is a sorrow deeper than all
the pain. We weep and know not why:
We mourn, forlorn,
harmed, wilted, and we sigh
Like some lost sea-bird, fiercely borned
In that sweet calm, to moan and die;
We weep and know not why:
We pray and know not highest
thought.
We laugh and know not why:
We smile ene while
we laugh and we surging by;
Denzal finds the feet of Death we smile
As if we found the peace we sought;
We laugh and know not why:
We laugh and know not why:

IDEALS AND HONORARY SOCIETIES
There is scarcely a man in the University who has not had his ideals about honorary organizations shattered to a great extent, at some time during his college course. The college freshman casts longing hearts for the parachute organization or the Illio picture of some group to which he hopes he may sometime belong. If the organization represents anything at all definite, he will probably win the coveted invitation in the course of a couple of years or so. He regards with satisfaction the honor he has acquired. He will be just as ordinary and, lo! all the glamour is gone. The gold and glitter of conquest is past. As the new member starts out enthusiastically to accomplish the things he has always imagined the group stood for, he gets a hard jolt, if he be at all conscientious. For the ideals he has admired from afar he must be just ordinary ideals, and poorly adhered to at that; the men whom he had once looked upon with reverence now appear to be just ordinary individuals without remarkable capability. Soon he falls in with the general spirit of the organization, attending meetings only when he feels like it and granting it that special attention. This finds that his attention is drawn toward too many serious interest to allow him time for anything unnecessary.
And still we continue to form more "honorary societies" every time a new department of study is developed or another state is represented in the University.-Daily Illi-

CLASS-ROOM DECORATIONS
CLASS-ROOM DECORATIONS
Bareness is the most striking centre of the interior decorations of our university, and we are accustomed to generalize from the specimens observed during seven semesters of an architecturally scattered course. In many classrooms not a single picture doras the walls, and not even a blaster-of-Paris bust is to be seen in he whole length of Fowell Hall. In the University campus impartially with the public schools of tineapolis.
A number of inexpensive reproductions of artistic masterpieces distributed through the various buildings on the campus would serve several purposes. Visitors would carry away a better impression of the university if they were subjected, perhaps, to questions about the composition of a real standard of taste. The student might occasionally detect a hint of possible merit in some of the masterpieces, and be led thereby to take a genuine interest in works of art. The atmosphere alone created by good pictures is a helpful neutralizer of the materialistic tendency of science, and the hard, money-getting sirt often comes from the real-world central arm. As an institution supposed to give, along with other things, at least a smattering of general culture, the university might invest with profit in a few tangible, visible symbols of its aim. Minnesota Daily.
"The martial type of character can be bred without war. Strenuous honor and disinterestedness abound here. Priests and medical men are educated to it, and we should at all times care for them. We we were conscious of our work as an obligatory service to the state. We should be owned, as soldiers are by the army, and our pride would rise accordingly. We could be poor, but we were conscientious officers now are. The only thing henceforward is to inflame the civic temper as past history has inflamed the military temper. . . . When the contemporary man steps from the street, of clamorous indulgence, adulteration, underselling and intermittent employment, into the barrack-yard, he steps to a higher social plane, into an atmosphere of cooperation and of infinity. He at least now are not flung out of degree to degenerate because there is no immediate work for them to do. They are fed and drilled and trained for better service" from William James, William James, Pamphlet, to be found in Spooner Library on reserve shelf of the International Polity Club

A writer to the public opinion column of the Kansas City Star suggests that the United States government, instead of sending its army into Mexico in search of Francisco Villa, send its peace-at-any-price men under the leadership of the Bryan-Ford brotherhood, and demand surrender at the point of smiles and brotherly love. Bill Lawrence has a passion for the quipped even to such a mission of peace. Rather, his motto is: "Let the bandit come if he will, and being in; ask what he desires. He will then become so ashamed that conscience itself will drive him out."

considered the father of Russian music? Because he has caught the breath and spirit of the Russian people. Because in his music we feel the soul of the Russian peasant—oppressed, ground, stifled, brutal with vodka, sordid with lack of bread; yet bursting out into sudden flames of rebellion, into sudden orgies of wild abandon, into barbaric dances, into gentle lullabies—but always put down with blood and steel, always overpowered by the inevitable, the fate-like hand of the government.

Where Have You Seen That Name?
In the Kansas, in the Lawrence papers, in the Graduate Magazine, the Oread Magazine, The Engineers' Magazine, in football programs, theatre programs, on fence posts, bridges, sign boards—everywhere.
Why?
Because Bert Ober is a business man of the progressive type. He believes in advertising and advertising well. When he came to Lawrence nineteen years ago, he saw a chance for a good store, that would handle clean, dependable merchandise. But he also realized the fact that he would never get people into that store—no matter how good the goods, or how perfect the service unless he let them know that he was in town.
And for nineteen years Bert Ober has told the students of the University of Kansas, the people of Lawrence and the inhabitants of Douglas County about his goods. And for nineteen years his store has experienced a steady growth. Ask him how valuable he considers his advertising and he will tell you that he attributes the success of his store to four factors—Advertising, Good Window Display, High Quality Goods and Courteous Treatment.
If you will consistently read the advertising in the Daily Kansan, you will be able to discover other Lawrence firms that are progressive and awake to the possibilities of IN-TELLIGENT use of the columns of the newspaper. You will also discover that students trade with merchants that advertise in the Daily Kansan.
