The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the school than merely printing the news by standing up. He also plays no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more exciting problems to wiser heads, in all, to enrich students' ability to the students of the University.

IT'S ONLY COMMON SENSE
Anger is never without a reason.
A good one is a good one—Poor Richard's Almance.
ITS ONLY COMMON SEED.
To the lovers of winter sports the city ordinance prohibiting all coasting on the streets may at first thought seem unreasonable, but with a little serious consideration it must be apparent to every student in the University that the measure is the only reasonable one to be adopted. Under conditions which prevail in Lawrence it is not safe for students to coast on the streets with even the most careful preparation. It is impossible for us to guard against the unexpected, and in all the cases of past fatal and serious accidents which have occurred, it is the unexpected which has caused the catastrophe.
During the last two weeks there have been one or two surreptitious coasting parties on the streets. This example cannot be denounced too strongly. no University student has the right to willingly expose himself to serious injury or death, in consideration both for the University and for his parents, even if not for himself.
With the example before us of the horrible, heart breaking results which have followed from coasting accidents, it really seems that men and women who are old enough to attend the University of Kansas should have common sense enough to abide by the city ordinance and deny themselves of pleasure that might lead to wrecked lives.
WE WILL DO OUR SHARE
"For the initiation of our university scheme and type, we borrowed much stimulus and some machinery from Europe, but we are well past borrowing now. If there is borrowing in the future it will proceed in the reversed direction, by Europe from America."
That is the most significant statement made by Benjamin Idle Wheeler, the president of the University of California, in an address before the National Association of State Universities.
If his statement proves to be true, American universities will have much responsibility resting upon them. Heretofore we have been content to look across the ocean to European countries for our ideals and ideas in university work. In the future we will have to set up a standard not only for ourselves, but for the former mighty institutions of Europe. With the consciousness that we will be looked to for standards in higher education as soon as war's toll has been taken, we must face forward and endeavor to create higher ideals and a higher standard.
The University of Kansas is willing to put her shoulder to a corner of the responsibility resting on the American state universities by holding her scholarship as high as possible
Even though Kansas is located in the "provincial" west, even though she is obliged to hold classes in basements, even though her professors are underpaid, with cooperation between professors and students, and a feeling of esprit de corps, the famous spirit of Kansas may reach even to Europe and prove something worth borrowing.
AS YOU TAKE IT
Is it only a coincidence or is the department of Public Speaking trying to be practical in all things, in having the students just at this time learn Kipling's "Recessional"? Throughout the student district at all hours the last lines of each verse seem to wail up the streets:
"Lord God of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, we lost we forget."
The effect of these lines at some times is unpleasant, to say the least. When a man who is a little conscience stricken, anyway, starts to go down to a picture show, the words brought to him on a great gust of wind seem almost like a warning from Macethh's witches. And for another man, as he puts up his window for the night, after a little preliminary cramming, the words send a cold shiver down his spine, "Lest we forget." He had overlooked the fact that he might forget. And then again some pious soul bows his head reverently as the poetic sentence sighs up to the stars. To him the words are a prayer, uttered by some kindred soul in like distress.
While all the time — who knows—it may be some energetic student learning his next day's lesson with no thought for sentiment.
CONQUERED THE MACHINE.
The story of the control of a city by a few political bosses who run things to suit themselves is not a new one in America. In fact it is disgustingly common. Cries are heard all over the land against bosdom and graft and yet such conditions seem to flourish. The machinery of corrupt politics is so well oiled that it is hard to stop.
How one man, and only a council member at that, succeeded in arousing a city to such an extent that it threw out of office the machine which had ruled the city for many years and put in a non-partisan administration is cleverly told by Meredith Nicholson in the December number of the Atlantic Monthly. The story starts on page 795.
Hachiro Yuussa is attending K. S. A. C. He is accused of being of Irish descent, but he indignantly denies it, and claims Tokio, Japan as his birthplace.
Why is it that some people call common old "grip," "la grippie?" One newspaper even called it "the la grippie." Another case of tautological repetition.
If the bacteriologists should back the Allies, the triple alliance would soon be whipped. These scientists would probably take the "Germ" out of Germany.
This is the weather that makes the Kansas students sympathize with Germany. They, too, long for a place in the sun.
After this I spent a great deal of time and pains to make an umbrella; as I was obliged to be much abroad, it was a most useful thing to me, as well for the rains as the heats. I took a world of pains with it, and it was a great while before I could make anything like to hold: my arm was quite weak, and made two or three before I had made one like to my mind: but at last I made one that would answer indifferently well; the main difficulty was to make it let down. I could make it spread, but if it did not let down and draw in, too, it was not possible to me to use it but just over my head which would not do. Then I knew what the answer, and covered it with skins, the hair upwards, so that it cast off the rain like a pent house, and when I had no need of it, could close it, and carry it under my arm.
If the U. S. gets into a war the "key"-note of the situation will be the Panama Canal "locks."

FROM "IN MEMORIAM"
F. H. Hodder.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
I want to call attention to a misconception respecting the time for questions about what to except into the discussion of the subject in your columns. The general committee, that originally reported a rule, proposed to close all dances on Friday nights at one and dances on Saturday nights at two. The Senate changed by closing small week-end dances at twelve and providing that large dances, for which great preparations are made, (the Junior Prom, the Sophomore Hop, the Law Scrim and one "formal" a year for each ensemble), might continue until two o'clock.

I wish to say further that it is unfair to blame Mrs. Brown for the action of the Senate. The rule was passed by a practically unanimous vote of the Senate and the responsibility rests upon the whole Senate. If it is desired to make a goat of anyone who opposes him, who made the motion and is willing to bear the odum and suffer the consequences.
In the discussion of the closing hour the matter or the lights has been overworked. The principal reasons in the minds of the Senate for providing the earlier hour for small dances were first, to save the health and strength of the students, particularly of the girls, and second, because it is better social relations close small dance positions at least as large as I am told that nearly all the other large universities close their small dances at twelve. I do not insist upon this statement, because I have not looked it up myself, but to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true.
Little maid, little maid.
Editor of the Daily Kansan
This change was made by the Senate for two reasons. First, because it was assumed that it was reasonable to distinguish between the small parties, of which there is one or more every week, and the large ones, of which there are affairs, closing the former earlier and allowing more time for the latter. Second, because it was assumed that this arrangement would be more satisfactory to the students and that they would be willing to close the small parties earlier, proportionate to their time available for the large ones. The choice then lies between the proposal of the general committee, closing all parties at one and the Senate rule, closing small parties at twelve and allowing the large ones to continue until one. Personally I am willing to allow the Senate rule at one, if that is what the students want, but I do not think that it is as good a rule from the student point of view or from any point of view as the one passed by the Senate. Now it is being assumed in your column that the proposal of the general committee was close small parties at one and large ones at two, which is not the fact.

Home from the dance
Boardinghouse managers, here is a solution of the eating problem which will cut down the high cost of living and give variety in your meals. If a law like this which has just passed in New York could be red tapped through Kansas the sled would ride easy thereafter;
It's after twelve now.
Sale of horse meat for food will be permitted in New York after January 11 the board of Health announces today. Commenting upon the revocation of the section of the sanitary code which prohibited the use of horse flesh, Commissioner Emerson said that while it is extremely likely recommend it no harm can be seen in its use. The horse never has tuberculosis and almost never communicates a malignant disease to human beings, he said.

Newspaper advertising pays. The unbeliever who once tries newspaper advertising is convinced at once. The scoffer, once induced to try newspaper space, invariably and inevitably becomes a large user of the columns of the press.

Once upon a time a successful restaurant man, operating a string of attractive eating houses, had his attention called to the usefulness of newspaper advertising.

A single newspaper advertisement dealing with pie resulted in the sale of 30,000 cuts of pie the following day in the restaurants owned by the advertiser, and, of course, the饼 trade following that demonstration has grown tremendously. This restaurant man has found it possible to increase the number of his eating places to sixty-eight, and has found it wise immensely to increase his advertising space in the newspapers. This is experience.—Indianapolis, (Ind) Times.

The nonadvertising restaurant man was stumped. He cogitated. He declared the public would have to be told about the points that made him proud of his restaurants. He began to spend a little money for newspaper advertising. The first month he invested $600. At this time he spends $30,000 a year in newspaper advertising and he finds it pays to do it.
"That's a fact and I'm proud of it," replied the feeder of the public..
"You know it, and you are satisfied," said the friend. "but what does the general public know about it?"
