NO QUEEN POLITICS
HOLDING CLASSES OVER TIME
We are glad to see that the senior girls wish to keep the election of the May Queen free from politics. This is as it was originally intended, an honor conferred by the girls of the senior class, rather than the result of political pull.
And still the thoughtless professor remarks just as the whistle blows,
"Mr. Jones, please continue the discussion."
And the student who has his next class in a building at the other end of the campus, tries to look interested and recite on the question.
Of course, this has been said and said again but but the fact remains.
And this professor who holds his class over time is the one who makes the biggest fuss when a student comes into class late.
MEZ AND HIS SCHOOL
Dr. John Mez, of the University of Heidelberg, who is at the University this week, is a man with a message that all should hear. He talks of war and peace, understandingly and profoundly. He does not depict the horrors of war, nor does he appeal to sentiment or emotion, rather to reason and intellect.
War, Doctor Mez believes is unnecessary and perminous, and wholly u伯beneficial to the nations of the world. In this he disagrees with Niesche, Bernhardi, Homer Lea, Theodore Roosevelt, and other apostles of the philosophy of force, who consider war as both necessary and beneficial. The cause espoused by Doctor Mez is that of the New Internationalism, a movement which undertakes to show the fallacy of the fundamental contentions of the militarists.
The question is one of fundamental importance to every patriotic citizen of the American Republic. If the views of the militarists spread 'round the world, this nation will eventually be sucked into the maelstrom of madness that is making a graveyard of Europe. The thought is terrible, appalling, and gives one pause.
The movement for peace is in its infancy, and its forces are by no means as active as those of the school that opposes it. But being right it will someday prevail, for nothing artificial can long endure.
It is this artificiality that Doctor Mez talks upon. The chief figure of his school is Norman Angell, author of the much-talked-of "Great Illusion," and other works. Doctor Mez
as the insights of Norwegian Anglise and dozens of other men as prominent as he, at his tongue's end. The arguments are convincing and logical and reasonable. They show where war is based on wrong ideas, and by the cold bright light of reason, refute the basic precepts of the philosophy of force, precepts age-old and long-accepted, till they have become almost axiomatic. The futility of warring for economic gain, the impossibility of one nation's possessing another, the fact that great armaments do not make for security or peace, the inconsistency of a national and individual code of morals, which allows national murder and theft, but condemns it within a nation's boundary among individuals—these and a host of other views are examined by the New Internationalists.
And the work is by no means negative; it does not stop with an attempt to show the inconsistency and mistakenness of things as they are. It offers possible solutions, and seeks to find the faults and advantages of plans offered as remedies.
It behoves us as University men and women to at least understand the question. As students, we should know of it.
But our duty does not end there. As citizens of the United States, men and women who some day hope to be influential in the thought of the Nation we should be able to think in the best way. International conciliation may be a dream, but if there be any chance for us to weave fabric from the gossamer of the dreamstuff, let us by no means let the chance go by unheeded.

Society in Darktown
(Archie Little)
The annual ball of the Dark Row fraternity was held in the Fisherman's Hall last night. "Refresh the halls and refreshments the usual happened. Mr Flatfoot is doing quite well in the hospital this morning, according to reports, and the assailant is wearing much gauze and sticking-plaster on his head. They may have the best wishes of the entire community for their speed recovery.
Announcement of the engagement of Mr, John S. Shady and Miss Chocolate Smity was announced yesterday evening at a party for the to-be bride. We trust every thing good will come to Shady and his wife for he is a very deserving boy and the same is applicable to the lady.
At the A. S. M. E. church this coming Sunday, Parson Goodfellow will take for his subject "The Wickedness of a squawk Fowl!"
The death of Sister Cherry Stone is grievously felt by everyone who knew her. Her soul is no doubt flown to a better land than this, "bourne from the hills," and the sorrow she reaved will feel the sting of her absence for a while but with the briskness of this neighborhood we have the希望 that this will soon fade.
When Dan Smith took Sarah Gooding for a wife he promised to "trust, etc" Now that several years have capped since his marriage, Dan is bekinden as jalous of the groceries and tells them neither to trust nor obey his wife.
'Ere sin could blight, or darkness fade,
Death took the precious thing."
- The children of Mary Jones have the whooping cough and if they don't stay off the street they will give it to the children. Have a care, Sister Jones.

SURELY THE
EXPEDIENCY
(By Maurine McKernan)
(In the first place J. I. Engals gets
the opportunity for giving the Opportunity
for this.)
Master of College Po'itics am I!
Alleys and halls I walk; I penetrate Clubs and frats remote, and passing
Name, Fame, Celebrity upon my footsteps wait
Dean Ackers, Shinn, e'en August Ritter brave,
All suddenly I choose an inoffensive wight,
Who sleeping, wakes; Who, cram-
ming, doth arise
And sally forth, my favor on his side,
Appropriating all the juicy grafts,
Other than singing them faithfully to me.
His master. And those who dared oppose me,
Carson and Williamson, The Owls themselves.
Goodbye, I am going to wink!
Flames From the Bush
I answer not, and I return no more

Well, my dear darling Aunt Sophia, I must stop and hunt my ball stocking. I'm going to my stocking, so bye-bye for this time! Next time I will tell you about the new shoes I bought with heels about six height, but utterly flattering, but late at last.
[By Charles Sweet]
Oh, my Ruffies! Oh, my Ribbons!
I have the most perfectly u-squ-shung news to tell you! It is just too utterly utter to imagine in private, even! A boy (some freshman, I suppose) winked at me as I was crossing the lovely campus yesterday! The inexpressable impudence of him was so impudent that he had gone before I had time to get my breath and give a wave back. He had! It has worried;我 so inexpressably that I am just sure I will have an attack of material fever and will have to be vaccinated!
But I will find him! Oh, darling
Aunt Sophia, I know it sounds vulgarly shocking, but I am just aching to get sublime revenge on that utterance. I'll be driving me to a deperation act of desperation! My nerves are so nervous that I am just ill to see that intensely utter, creature again! Aunt Sophia, I know I'm going to wink back at some day! I impatient adad back some day! !
It is going to have 883 plains in a ten gore skirt which is just too utterly bewitching for anything! When I get on that, and have on my new red ducky hat, I will look just like a pyramid of caramel ice cream with a red layer on top! Would that just as utterly utter as could be imagined?
But as Caesar said: What, ho, Macduff, eduough. Too much, in fact, of this wild dreaming! I can scarcely repress myself long enough to tell you some more news. It is the most disturbing thing I have ever heard you could never guess it! I ordered my new spring suit yesterday! You should see it—oh, I wish you were here today to see it! It is not made yet, but it just too divinely utter for you to be able to be a sitter and aginze such beauty even in private by your own self!
Let me describe it! It is the very latest of the late up-to-the-minute goods! A beautiful putty color just from New York, or maybe it is from Tonganoxie, I always get those places mixed!
Pandora's Box
While I vainly searched the *p*'ace where my brain ought to be for one or more ideas, the Professor stalked me. I had a good idea; you are undertaking a big obligation.
(Earl Crabbe)
"I think so," says I, whereupon he said, "I've got a favor I want you to do me. I want you to write up some of these turtle doves, spoonsers, sapheds and blockhouses that infest some of your classrooms classes. Follow me to the library."
I did not like that tone of voice, but five units being dependent on his kindness, followed obediently with many compunctions and mingiv- ing. When he left the room to a couple running over in goo and savs. "We shall now observe."
We soon observed for the she-part of the combination, seeing that the place was full of admiring men and women, decided to start something. We came to a finger points to a pile of books which he takes up quickly. She starts for the door with him in tow. He the-part and a book in the other side o the library which he needed next to library which he started to digress from the path.
Quick r's a flash, she sences it and says, "Come along" and he comes with the look of a dog who hasn't time to bury a bone because his mistress wants to show him off. Then she pulls a green nose rag and applies it to her eyes to rub away a wound from a wound leaving the straight and narrow for an instant. Wasn't he ashamed? Sure he was.
"There," says the Professor, "You behold in action a prominent member of the Pie Bita Prune sorority. They are the most expert because they are the drippiest. But the worst of it is their lack of mortgage on her. Some guy at the Better Than Peruna house has the first claim."
Just then the Professor was called to the Athletic Board meeting and I was left to ferret it all out by my lonesome. So I goes to that oracle of Wisdom, Bud Ritter, and asks him what are the Frunes and the Perfumes he will be as he "The Pruners" the sportiest janes on the Hill. Know that one that had green stockings in a class week of St Patricks?—Well that's a typical one." And the Perunas?" "Well to tell you the truth, they are a frat that haven't a friend on the Hill but they can elect anybody to any office in the University. that's straight up bad budge. And then a doll calls up Bud and off he beats it destroying another news source for the time being.
I determined to get at the source of it all and went to Bert Wadams' to get a shave and make myself other than me. There were some weazened stiff from the B. T. P. house came in and asked for the use of the phone. He was all dignity and looked as if he couldn't have the phone, middle name if he should ever drop it.
He calls up the Prune house and sakes for Nelly. Thinking of the poor Swashbucker of the Library in Oxford, he asks if some reply and says in a voice that made every muscle below his diaphragm quiver (he didn't have any above). "Which Nelly? Why the Only Nellie in the World for me?" Just then it dawns on me that this gent the Professor was talking about.
I got so blame it caused Bert cut me and I lost my nerve. I'm going to take a con rather than write the book that I'd like old Pandora's box rattle if I did?

An American and a Scotchman were walking in the Highlands, and the Scot produced a famous echo. When the echo returned clearly after nearly four minutes, the proud native, turning to the Yankee, exclaimed: "There, mon, ye cann show anything like that in your country."
“Oh, I don’t know,” said the American. “I guess we can better that than I did.” He walked in when he go to bed, I just lean out of my window and call out, ‘Time to get up!’ Wake up! and eight hours afterward the echo comes back and wakes me”
