From the press of the Department of Foreign Affairs. Address a., communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phone, Bell K. U. 25. The Daily Kansan aims to plea for support of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the books; to support the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to solve problems to wiser heads, in all, to build better students of the University.

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT The University's "society event of the season" is at hand. Tonight the much talked of, much thought of, Junior Prom will hold the center of attraction for K. U.'s "Four Hundred." All thoughts of care and work and trouble will be cast aside, and fun and joy and frolic will take their places in the Promenaders' minds. For one evening all will be sprightly and happy in the pleasures of the music, and light, and dance. Away dull care, if for but one evening! FAITHFUL WORK THAT COUNTS What has become of the o. f. boy who waited outside the church door after services Sunday evening, and then watched his girl walk home with her mother? However, no student should take this as an index that the Y. W. C. A. is active only part of the year. There is probably no student organization which does so much good, and keeps its work up so consistently, as does this band of young women. The Y. W. C. A. has never worked for great publicity—its work does not require nuch space in the newspapers—but in a quiet manner the organization goes about looking for places where it can do good. The jubilee month of the Y. W. C. A. closed Wednesday night, and for the next few weeks it is possible that we shall hear little of the work of the association. The results that it obtains are ample proof that it finds plenty to do. Miss Gittins and the officers of the cabinets are to be congratulated on the work of the association. A cub reporter on a Kansas news paper has started curling his type writer a mill. "It's because I grin out my daily bread on it," he explain PATRIOT OR SPECTATOR? The Scout, Cleveland, Ohio, is asking if the expression of patriotism at times is not flag idolatry or flag worship. It cites, as an example, the act of a boy scout who rushed into a burning office of a doctor and rescued the American flag, when useful property such as medicine and surgical instruments might have been save instead. "It was a mistake to take the flag if such useful property could have been saved with the same effort. A person who burns suffers torture. A flag does not. Medicine and surgical tools can be used to save lives and relieve illness. A flag cannot. Emblems such as flags, help to keep important things before our minds. When the emblem is respected and the idea forgetten we have become idolators. We wonder if this boy who rescued the flag from the fire will know enough, when he grows up, to vote and work for the preservation of his rights and those of his fellow citizens." Wasn't the boy right, after all? OH, YOU EXTRA CIPHER! Journalism students at Columbia University are losing much sleep over a $50 prize recently offered by Arthu Brisbane for the best editorial write by a member of the Pulitzer school Well, our Eastern brethern haven't anything on us when it comes to prize contests, except that small detail, the cipher behind the 5. OH. YES, IT'S HERE! Unmistakable signs of Spring are here. The wind whistles around the corners of the Campus buildings with the same fiendish velocity and arctic temperature that it had in January. The warm sun smiles down upon men in overcoats, and women in sweaters and muffs. The robins that have had the courage to return to Lawrence fly daily about, trying in vain to keep warm. Beside the "smooths" and "cokes," the hot chocolate is still a popular beverage. in the morning when we start out hopefully for the Hill, minus sweater or overcoat, we are doomed to disappointment. The frosty air makes us forget everything else in the endeavor to reach the friendly warmth of the class room. Yes, Spring is here! Rules for carrying on a conversation: No. 1. When at a loss for something to say, knock the Laws. WHY IS IT? The first week of college it always rains? The world series is played in October instead of September?

PLUMBERS AND PROFESSORS Many a good plumber has been spoiled by his parents while they were trying to create a professor out of him. The world wants teachers, and it wants tinsmiths too. It must have mule drivers, hod carriers, ditch diggers, canal drivers, Sky-scraping contractors, heat, light and power machines, dull brains, skilled mechanics, tanger-tea men, professors and plumbers. I would rather be a good plumber than a poor professor. The title of a plumber signifies two things—a big man or a little man. It all depends on the man. Some of the biggest men that I know of in this country are plumbers. They know how to fix plumbing and installation, and they are willing to do this while they wear overalls and jumper—"The Silent Partner."

JUST IN TIME Three students of the School of Education were granted the University Teacher's Diploma at the meeting of the faculty of the School yesterday and two students were Alvin P.

WHEN ALL THE WORLD IS YOUNG When all the world is young lad, And all the trees are green; And all the animals are friendly; And every lace a queen; Then hey for boot and horse, lad, And hey for dog and cow, Young blood must have its course laid, And every dog his day. CAMIUS OPTION Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent CAMPUS OPINION The average American, according to Prof. A. J. Boynton of the department of economics, can tell with great accuracy that generations of throughbred blood there is in his pet bull-dog, but if one should ask him to trace his own genealogy through as many generations he would be stumped at the outset. SIMPLY "HONOR" SOCIETIES? What constitutes honor societies? What is their purpose? In the University of Kansas there are eight so-called honor societies. Seven of these are for men and one is for women. Of these societies, judging from the past, is simply a matter of organizing in the fall, of having their picture taken for the Jayhawk during the spring. There is a new lot of members in the spring. Send the Daily Kansan home. To be sure, there have been occasional departures from this set program. Once the Sachoms gave a visit to the United States and Union, and the Owls occasionally issue a scandal sheet. But these things cannot be regarded as fundamental for future success. Really to deserve the name of honor society these organizations owe active and constructive work to the University, but I am not sure I said that the Sachems have taken up some of the school's most perplexing undergraduate problems at their recent meetings. Having made a start, they have carried a due by the Sachems to carry out a dialogue on the matters they have undertaken. Other organizations will do well to follow the plan of the Sachems. If there is not a need and a purpose for the Sachems, there is no excuse for their existence. If there is a need, then the members of these organizations surely have proved negligent. By means of effort the honor of an honor society can be earned by real work they can show their worth. A Corner for the Library Browser Senior '16. FOUND IN A BOOK No one likes to be told what to do and what not to do—students particularly. Bringing the situation home, there is no better time for the prosecution of violators of the anti-immigration law than a ministerial. Everywhere one turns, he sees the order most flirtantly abused from professors down to students, in the buildings and around about the entrances. Such wholesale disregard only serves to increase the amount of animosity against our Alma Mater. THE CIGARETTE RULING Editors Daily, Kansas The matter was brought most strikingly to the notice of Prof. W. McKeever recently, while touring the campus of a university's Anti-Cigarette League. Advising the parents to keep their boys from smoking the "pills," he was met with the accusation, "Why don't you teach them to use University what you are preaching to us?" Aside from the ruling, every man knows that the continuance of this detrimental practice will lead to no good and will do a great deal of harm, physically, mentally, and morally. I have been sometimes thinking, if a man had the art of the second sight for seeing lies, as they have in Scotland for seeing spirits, how admirably he might entertain himself through his body contours, shapes, sizes, and colors of those swarms of lies that buzz about the heads of some people life files about a horse's ear in summer; or those legions hovering every afternoon in Exchange alley, enough to darken the faces of grandesses, and thence sent down in cargoes to be scattered at elections.—Jonathan Swift. Let's begin here and earnestly try to remove one of the excuses for criticism of the big school by its enemies. When our son returns from college and sits down to breakfast, he may say very learnedly, "Pass the pepper and sodium chloride" he may satirically compare the Gazette with William Shakespeare, state that he has proved the laws of gravitation when he spills graveyd down his vest front, is the ultimate consumer of muffins, except only the fire-cake caters of Valley Forge, he may show off his knowledge BUT. Reformer. His mother can still teach him table manners.-Yale Record.

When Napoleon was in St. Helena he amused himself by playing a kind of solitaire which has been named for him. It is a difficult game or it would have had no interest for Napoleon. Three things make idea that they were Napoleons the other day. They set out to work this solitaire or die in the attack. They have been putting in about four hours a day for the last few days and so far are as far from a solution as they could possibly be, says that if any professor should assign him as difficult a lesson he would withdraw from the class.
