ISSUE NUMBER ONE OF THE TRI-WEEKLY
Today the first issue of the Tri-Weekly Kansan appears. It is the ambition of the present editorial staff of this paper to make a daily out of the Kansan before its term expires. At present there are several obstacles in the way of this. The increase in the number of issues will enable the Kansan to handle more of the University news while it is news. The Kansan is a newspaper, not a magazine, and the present staff is in favor of keeping it a newspaper. As a newspaper it must publish the news first. When the news has been printed the remainder of the space in the Kansan, which will always be small, may be used for literary efforts of those who write well.
Everywhere in Kansas, from the country weekly and from the metropolitan daily, from city and hamlet the press is teeming with praises for the students' edition of the Lawrence Journal. In all the host there is only one discordant note and that comes from the Lawrence Gazette. It continues to berate the edition with an ardour born of envy.
WHAT A FEW OF THE MANY SAY
Boys Were Right.
The State University boys who printed in their special edition of the Lawrence Journal, the location of the Lawrence joints and the number of sales in the drug stores, were exactly and entirely right in doing so. They were right from a news standpoint. The location of a joint is news, as much as the location of a horsethief. The good citizens have a right to know where the joint is, that
they may avoid it, and the bad citizens have a right to know, that they may patronize it. From a moral standpoint, the boys were right, because publicity is the antiseptic which cures every social sore. And from the standpoint of the University the boys were right, for if the joints are patronized by students, the faculty had a right to know where the joints were and to look them up. The Gazette for a dozen years and more has made it a policy to print the location of any joint in Emporia, and every month or so, it prints the drug store sales. These things help. In this way a newspaper can do a great deal for a town. The University boys simply gave Lawrence a touch of the real thing in newspapers.—William Allen White in Emporia Gazette.
The Lawrence Gazette objects to the student edition of the Lawrence Journal that it was "not a newspaper." The people of Lawrence have been talking about nothing else but that issue of the Journal ever since it came out. It was a newspaper, all right.-Topeka Capital.
--is the standard of the world. It has been formally adopted as the official ball of the National League for over thirty years and by thirty other professional bodies from one to twenty years. In the great world's championship games between the Chicago Nationals and Detroit Americans the Spalding National League Ball was used The Spalding Official National League Ball is used by Yale, Harvard, Princeton and all prominent college teams. The soldiers and sailors in the United States Army and Navy use it exclusively. In fact it is in universal use wherever base ball is played.
The University students' edition of J. L. Brady's Lawrence Journal was a remarkable improvement over his regular edition.—Ewing Herbert in Brown County World.
Following the appearance of the newspaper issued in Lawrence by University students last Saturday, the police raided four places where liquor was sold. It was the biggest "raid," except one, Lawrence ever experienced. . . . It might not hurt some of the Lawrence papers if the class in journalism at the State University were allowed to get out their papers indefinitely.-Kansas City Star.
