Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879. Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate to go further than they do before printing the news by standing up, speaking and playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be chuckable; to be courteous; to be kind; to solve problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve the best of its authority the most.

MONDAY, MARCH 22, 1915. POOR ARGUMENTS "Play fair with capital." "Give the Water Company a show." The city might not do better." "The Company will do better after while." These are some of the arguments used against the voting of $350,000 bonds for the building of a water plant by the city. Play fair with capital, when "capital" has made necessary typhoid vaccination of students, boiled water, and lack of fire protection. Give the water company a show, when it has had its show for years, always with the same result. The city might not do better. It could not do worse. And if it did not do better the citizens could do something more than boil water and cuss. BREAK THE HABIT The Company will do better after while. Then let it compete with the city plant. The defaement of University property by students and faculty members is no doubt the result of thoughtlessness. Surely no sane person would cut and mark the desks, chairs, walls, specimens, etc., deliberately and in the face of the law. Surely the habit that is doing all this destruction can be broken. A little care on the part of students and professors should do away with the objection. But if there is no other way of getting at the evil there is the enforcement of the law against the defacement of property. But the fact that the responsible persons are thoughtless does not excuse them from the guilt of defacing property. By their acts many dollars worth of school paraphernalia is spoiled each year. K. U. IS COEDUCATIONAL That the women of the University are holding their own with their mothers back in the counties in making Kansas a state of equality is evidenced by a glance back over their activities of the year. Proms, hikes, mixers, basketball games, hockey games, club formations, a definite program by the W. S. G. A., Big Sister work by the Y. W. C. A., to mention one of the items of progress of that body. These are a few of the bits of proof that K. U. is coeducational, and that the woman is getting from the school what her enfranchisement in the state demands she have. WORK FOR PEACE The European war has given the American University an opportunity and a duty, according to Chancellor Strong. The International Polity Club is a medium for the realization of gifts. The University can do no better than get behind the Polity Club in its work in the school and city. We hasten to acknowledge the receipt of good, healthy, efficient shower baths in the Gymnasium. Student Opinion Editor the Daily Kansan; Athletics Follower In your column headed "Sport Hash" you stated that one member of the Kansas track squad, a "K" man, had been guilty of smoking, according to the police, whom he mentioned his name for your readers have a right to know the news. As the matter now stands, it is unfair to those men on the squad who had not broken training rules and were kept under suspicion, but that the accusation was against two different men, both of whom have been seen smoking. If Kansas was deprived of a just chance to win that relay by the unfragrantfulness of any smoke they used, they would right to know where the fault lies, if you can find it out for them. Editor Kansan: The editors of the Oread magazine wish to ask the students of the University for contributions to the magazine, the next issue of which will be out April 6. Any student who has material which he considers suitable for publication drops it in the Club box with his name and dress written plainly upon it. If the material is accepted by the Club, the author is admitted to membership in the Club and will be notified at once. The next issue of the Oread will contain chiefly literary material and the short-story and the sketch are wanted especially. This offers all who like to do so in a manner that see their work in print, and gives all who wish an opportunity to make the Quill Club, which will give any assistance in it's power to young writers. Oread. Chasing the Glooms With the influx of women's vest we see visions of embarrassed men pulling a vanity box from a left upper intending to offer a friend a cigar. Spring "openings" is appropriate as regards our pocket book. What has become of the old-fashioned folks who used to Castle Walk? Eugenists should work at home first—get Cupid. With spring as his favorite work, he should be getting down in the mouth. The news editor could not learn who was to be the delegate of the School of Law to the American Natural Gas Institute. By the time K. U. gets its new Ad Building students will have grown out of the way of sending home picture post cards. Cheaper meal tickets would make more souls mate. A Chinaman has kept a case of eggs for a century. He can keep them for another century as far as we are concerned. The hen-pecked man can usually be found at the piano recital. "The mean thing" pouted the prettie little girl in the Kansas office "He's swiped my typewriter, and I have to write a long story." Pandora's Box The editor-in-chief heard the pitiful moan, jumped up gallantly and apologetically to give the suppliant the much-desired typewriter. DOMESTIC TROUBLES Helen sat down swifly, scarcely stopping to thank the Chief for his thoughtfulness. She put the paper in position, wrote her name at the center of the table and space with a thoughtful stare. This did not work. Thoughts refused to come to her poorly organized brain. She looked around the room for ideas. In doing so her eyes indvertently caught several pairs of masculine ones. These smiled at her, and several of their owners, in turn, came to talk to her. Helen forgot the importance of her story. Oblivious to the impatient people around her waiting for her typewriter, unaware of the ranting editor-in-chief who had to write an editor's note to ensure that she and plenty意识 to all her admirers over every thing she could think of. At last the whistle blew. "Why, how quickly this hour has passed," Helen exclaimed, delightedly and I have done a thing" she said to her server to check out time on her blue card.

You have flunked in your trig, I know; Akron, Belfast, And that terrible Zoo Are racking your think-box so; But the groups and their troubles will soon pass by— Kansas City, Missouri There! little stude, don't cry! She, my friend of the maddening ways, comes ambling into the office here where I am pegging away, scattering smiles as she comes. The beautify part of it is that she is pretty, and she known it. She has had her first dance with a telltale her about it. Well she comes in, smiles generally, goes and "kids" the profs, coos over the editors, and then comes on to me. There! little stude, don't cry! They have stolen your girl, I know. At the Prom she'll be (And they all will see) In the areas of another beau; But another maiden will soon come There! little stude, don't cry! Speaking the Kansas Language There! little stude, don't cry! You have fifty-nine ITS, I know; And the Profs, I fear, Which you love so dear. Will you fetch a friend? But another year will pass by- So there! little stude, don't cry! If you have ever had the lust for murder in your heart, you can sympathize with me now in my trouble. I have a friend, a dear, sweet little friend, whose life has been spared from my death. I will form in my class of society to commit murder. Otherwise the ravens would have fainted themselves upon her bones long ere this. I, perchance, would have been now swinging from some highway gibbet, but it would have been with satisfaction that I could help them survive. My class of society, sudden murder is not consider good form. RAMBLING RAGTIME RHYME Under the spreading walnut tree a stubborn auto stands and Smith, an angry man is he with troubles that arise. He himself crawls beneath the car, and wonders why it didn't burst before he got so far. The carburer seems to be the cause of all his woe; he tightens a dozen bolts but still it doesn't go. And then he tries the machine. It works well there, till wet with perspiration then he quits in sheer despair. He squats beside the road to give his brain a chance to cool*, and ponders on his training in the correspondence school, and then he starts the job more securely until it causes the cause of all the trouble is he's out of gasoline—Stafford Courier. There is really no occasion for feeling discouraged and dropping out even if your friends outstrip you in the class. It is perseverance that counts. In 1861 a class of men graduated from an Eastern university. Two of these young men were close friends. One of them was the valet of the class. The other was the valet-dickerman. The young man who on commencement day stood at the foot of the class is now president of the institution. The last insider is the insurer—Anna Carlson. Flames From the Bush RAMBLING RAGTIME RHYME My Dear Aune Sophy; "O, hallo, deyre. What are you writing? Lets see. Here, that's not the way to spell that, and are you meant that mean? I would do it this way." Then she tells me a lot of hits she has made hardly. She tells me about the dance that she is going to that I have been stung on. She asks my advice as to how to get out of a date when she has been stung. She gives my head to have a date with. She knows it so she shows me how he bores and pursues her. She raves about how many dates she has, for the men's rushing parties next fall, and wants to know how I manage to spread mine out over the days when I will have time. Then she sighs that she doesn't have time for all her dates, because I don't know how I ever manage to keep my dates straight and keep the men from "interfering" with each other? The little cat knows that I don't have a date in a blue moon and that I haven't but two dates for rushing dances next fall. She knows well enough that the reason that I have been stung is because they are so few that there is no possibility of such a thing. So she goes on in her fluffy blue-eyed way, mowing down all before her, and coming to me, her friend, to glot. I can see how shocked you are. She is a very tough man, and I don't care. Of course she is good looking and I am only jealous, but that doesn't keep me from wishing that I could politely grind the door when I get home. My guess most of it is because she has that dance date that I haven't. Write soon, but don't scald. It'll make me savage. Lots of love. Marie. THE OLD WINDMILL THE OLD WINDMILL Do you know where the Old Mill was? was? It is in ruins now, but a few years ago the Windmill was the best known spot of the town to the students; it grew up on the ground, and the majority of the graduates of K. U. for many years have pictures of the picturequee old building on their walls. It was featured in all the old Annuals, and probably some of the fondest memories of the centered around the old Dutch Windmill. Go over and see it sometime—will be a nice walk, and the vicinity is a good place from which to get a goo view of the Hill. MAYFLOWER HOUSE FOR SALE Last Building That Sheltered a Plymouth Settler is at Auction N. Y. Times. The only house remaining which has sheltered persons who came to America on the Mayflower in 1620 is to be sold at auction next month by court order. The house was built in 1620 and last Mayfield the Mayflower survivor, and it is assumed that the older Howland was a caller at the son's home. In course of time the building fell into decay, but upon the organization of the Society of Saints of Howland the property of Howland of the Ship Mayflower the property was acquired and restored. Through the society's failure to satisfy a note a judgment against the organization was obtained. The court ordered for the sale of the property folowed. Pat, who was left-handed, was being sworn a witness in the West Side case of Danny. "Hold up your right hand," said the judge. "Up went Pat's left hand." "Hold up your right hand," commanded the index, sternly. "Sure and I am, yer honor," declared Fat, "Me. Me. She hands on me! You're the best!" Students!
