LAWRENCE AND THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
Fortunate for the good reputation of Lawrence and the good of the University is it that the sentiment antagonistic to the enforcement of law is confined to two of the newspapers of the town and a few individuals interested personally in the liquor traffic. As regards the enforcement of law the interests of the University and Lawrence are one and the same. The good name of the University over the state is closely linked with that of the city of Lawrence. What is wicked in Lawrence is in the eyes of the public an evil of the University, and the wrongs of the University are to the popular notion linked with the conditions of Lawrence. That is just the reason why the University should have a deep interest in the rigid enforcement of law in the city.
There always has been a tendency in Lawrence for the citizens of the town to antagonize the students in every move they make. It is customary for Lawrence people to consider the students as their natural enemies. But in an issue such as has arisen within the last few days the people of Lawrence and the students of the University should throw away all petty differences and stand together. Let their common interest unite them. The city of Lawrence could not well do without the University; the University could not find a city in all the state where it would have a better location. The Kansan believes the students are fully justified in demanding that the officers enforce the law, and it
further believes the people of Lawrence should heartily endorse the demands.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Junior promenade was a decided success. It will be safe to say it was the best ever. The farce was original and exceedingly well given, the music was of the best and all the details of arrangement were attended to with a care that made the event one of the most pleasurable social events ever held at the University.
The stand the Lawrence World has taken in the matter of law enforcement should receive the hearty commendation of every good citizen of Lawrence and student of the University.
While plaudits of "well done" continue to be showered on the School of Journalism by the press of the state the Lawrence Gazette tries to cast slurs on the edition of the Journal issued a week ago by the Scoop Club and newspaper classes. The Gazette will be remembered as the paper which last fall accused the athletic association of selling out the Washburn game.
They have learned to expect the best from us, because they always get it.
Ask any of the town's best dressers where to get the smartest Suit, the sweltest Top Coat, the handsomest pair of Trousers, the correct Hat, a choice Tie or Shirt, or anything in the Toggery line and the answer will be—"Why, at Ober's, of course."
Good dressers always keep an eye on this store.
We are calling special attention to our new Single Breasted Sack Suits at $15.00, $18.00 and $20.00. Just the correct cut and fabric. Come, see them.

NEW FELLOWSHIPS.
In addition to the industrial fellowship to which H. A. Kohman was recently appointed, two more fellowships in industrial chemistry have just been established in Prof. Robert K. Duncan's department. One of these will be known as the Charles Harding fellowship,and was founded by Mr. Charles Harding of Omaha, Nebraska. It concerns the utilization of the waste buttermilk from butter manufacture. This fellowship is of two years duration and pays $500 a year with ten per cent of the net profits resulting from the investigation. E. L. Tague '08 will hold the fellowship for the next two years.
The third fellowship was established by Mr. J. J. R. Greenlees of Lawrence. This fellowship is concerned with the extraction of certain constituents of crude petroleum. It will last two years and will yield to the holder $1000 a year with ten per cent of the profits. Prof. F.W. Bushong of the Chemistry department has been appointed to this fellowship.
In the five fellowships Professor Duncan has so far established he has added about six thousand dollars to the current research funds of the Graduate School.
