The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the book by standing up and holding; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be courageous; to be learnt; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser hearses; all to serve the university as ability the contents of the University.

Mark Twain
Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar
It is easy to find fault, if one has that disposition. There was once a man who said he had no skill in his cont. complained that there were too many prehistoric toads in it.
WHO'S BOBBED UP NOW?
Yes, there may be some advantages in a good sound college education after all. Who knows! It might be that in future years one of your professors may appoint you Secretary of the Interior, or even Secretary of War. That is just what happened to Newton D. Baker, ex-mayor of Cleveland.
New planets sweep across our vision each week, new names bob up in the newspapers, and new men take their places in politics. Some are brilliant momentarily, then slip out of the range of vision, others are more lasting and claim more attention.
The latest name and the latest man to loom up is Newton Baker, who was a student under President Wilson at Princeton, when the president was "Professor Wilson." After graduation, Mr. Baker entered politics and became a follower of Tom Johnson, the great Democratic reformer. He has always been a great admirer of President Wilson and a great sympathizer with his views. The result was that, when the vacancy in the cabinet came, Mr. Baker seemed to the president the man for the place.
We can scarcely expect that the giving to former students by professors of places in the cabinet of the United States will become common, but the precedent has been set, and it might well be at least encouragement for some of the back-sliders to begin sitting on the front seats.
REDUCING FAT
"Pay for the war with the profits derived from war," seems to be the slogan of the Canadian Minister of Finance, Sir Thomas White, who has announced that sanction for an additional war appropriation of $250,000. 000 will be asked at the new session of Parliament.
It is Sir White's intention to raise this money partly through government taxation of all abnormal business profits from Aug. 4, 1914 when the war started, to Aug. 3, 1917. All corporations whose earnings exceed seven per cent will be taxed twenty-five per cent, and all individuals and firms earning an excess of ten per cent will be taxed one-fourth. All munition factories will be taxed heavily.
The sentiment against large incomes, whether inherited or earned, has increased greatly in the past decade. As a result of the sentiment, we have the taxation of corporations, and the inheritance taxes. Only one step farther, is the idea of Sir White of forcing individuals and corporations to pay a tax on the excessive incomes which they have
earned because of the world-wise calamity of war.
If business has increased to such a great amount as to yield enormous profits through a disaster from which thousands and millions are suffering, it is only fair that some form of a tax should be placed upon such profits. Of course it is called socialistic; but conservative socialism seems to be a trend of the day.
WHEN YOU ARE ALONE
What kind of people do you associate with when you are alone? If you haven't any intimate companions in the world of fiction, you should get acquainted. Read good, bad and indifferent books. Too many profitable and useful ones make people intolerable. Read for pleasure and relaxation, but with an eye for style. Some of the greatest men in history received their education thus.
Occasionally we find a person who has scarcely read a book, yet who in a certain sense, is educated. Yet, however accomplished he may be in any line, there is something lacking.
The deepest thinkers are the most liberal readers. An intimate knowledge of books permits one to choose the best companions, regardless of one's station in life.
Read and grow wise is just as true as the old adage: "Laugh and grow fat."
A SOPHISTICATED KENTUCKIAN
A SOPHISTICATED KENTUCKIAN The movie censors have stalled the efforts of producers to protray the soul-kiss, limiting its projection on the screen to seconds. College publications have bandied the question about in their editorial columns. College women have been diplomatic and, so far, have escaped a committal. But down in Kentucky a country publisher and editor, who knows how he feels about the kiss, comes to its defense and files the following brief:
"Taste as good as they did twenty years ago! Oh, benighted brother!" They taste as good, now as they did when Mordecai kissed Eather, when Leander kissed Hero, when Anthony kissed Cleopatra, when Aucasin kissed Nicollette, when Romeo kissed Juliet, when Dante kissed Beatrice, when John Alden kissed Priscilla, when Herman kissed Dorothea—just as good, you sour-souled sinners, as they did on that night of nights a score of years ago, when you and she were darlings of the gods and she held up to you those quivering rosebuds to let you sip the honey they contained. Does a kiss taste as good? Does it? It does, — I know."
Ease Up's Fables
THE GLOOMY GLIMS
Once upon a time there was a city by the name of Lawrence. It was a prosperous little burg, over-running with life and students.
Now this little town was supposed to have running water and electric lights. It really did have running water—the Kaw River—but, the city water was too thick to run—it oozed.
It came to pass that upon several occasions students were walking at night up Massachusetts Street, and with that beautiful avenue lighted only by the wonderful translucent moon, stumbled over obstacles and injured themselves painfully.
Thereupon, the city officials—commonly and vulgarly called "city dade" with frenzied and sundry remarks, hurriedly met and promised to place a wonderful "White Way" along the avenue. They declared that they would flood it with the beautiful incandescent luminescence of electricity.
The Junior Prom at Stanford University is to be the first affair to last until 1 o'clock. The program will be elaborate, and contain twenty dances. This is rather in contrast to the Prom at Kansas. Yet Stanford is undoubtedly as modern and up-to-date as Kansas.
But alas and ailak! After these many months, there has been no White Way placed upon the thoroughfare. From this take the moral.
Moral: Put Not Thy Trust In City
Dads.
Our definition of a small town is a place where everybody attends all the fires.
Faculty Members in Various Departments Express Views on Russian Ballet
WHAT THEY THINK OF N
Since each observer looks through his own eyes the Russian Ballet received various criticisms from the faculty members of different departments. It has been criticized from the standpoint of dancing, music, aesthetics and psychology. This is what they think of it:
Dr. Alice Goetz; "The Ballet can not be spoken of as a whole, the individual performances were so varied. The toe dancing was simply a thoroughly艺术化的 interpretation of the music rendered by the same steps which I teach. All the students of dancing recognized each step, that is what makes the intersection of their interpretation remarkable. The complete expression of the music to toe dancing was a contrast to the entire obliteration of the music in the war-like scene of the Prince Igor, where the interpretation of the story was so great as to create an impression of the roar of battle.
"The story of the Faun which has been so harshly criticized, was suggestive only of the flat frieze panel, of ancient decorations, so flat was the background, and so stiff and flat appearing were the movements of the figures. They were simply marionettes, not flesh and blood."
Miss Gladys Ellott: "The wonderful power to interpret characters, whether animate or inanimate, in pantome or in the Egyptian Frize was to me the most remarkable quality of the performance."
Professor Charles S. Skilton: "A few of the numbers were composed for the dance, such as that of Prince Igor, but most of them were composed some time ago and the舞 adapted to the music. This adaptation was done with wonder for the feeling of joy, of tone, color, sound, and undoubtedly interpreted the music as very few unpaired imaginations could do."
Professor R. M. Ogden: "I consider the Russian ballet a highly artistic production because it was a work of art, dancing, music, and the harmonious use of color in the stare setting. The Faun was an interesting and more or less effective attempt to replicate distinct planes the impression of a flat surface."
Professor Dockerer: "Theto dancing gave expression to those movements which music inspires in one, the desire to get away from the pull of gravity. Their light, ethereal movements, the motions of their arms expressed so much better than I had ever seen before, the feelings which music gives one but which he is unable to express.
