EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Lawrence Journal with the same proclivity to misrepresent everything and everybody connected with the recent edition of the students' paper, published a story a few days ago in regard to Harry Kemp's departure for New York which was entirely misleading in its insinuations and wholly untrue in its statement of fact. Mr. Kemp was not a frequenter of the "Bottoms" as was stated. On the other hand he had only been in that section of the city once—the time he secured the information for his poem. He did not leave Lawrence for the purpose of escaping a subpoena as was published in the down town paper. A number of times during the few days before he left Lawrence he asked the members of the Scoop Club whether or not the club would need him to prove the story it published in the Journal. He was averse to leaving if he would be needed. And he was also greatly concerned lest people think he had left to get away from a subpoena and actually delayed his departure for a few days for fear of such an impression getting out. Harry Kemp left Lawrence only after he was assured by his friends that he would not be needed.
The law school is almost ready to send out its annual consignment of lawyers. As a result of the moot court practice several seniors have decided to get in the race for county attorney in their home counties. Wendell McCanles has the fastest record. Friday he went to Lincoln county to begin his canvass for county attorney. McCanles graduated last year with an A.B. It was his first year at K. U. but he represented the University at Topeka at the Democratic banquet. This year he gets his LL.B. He is running a boarding club, teaching public speaking to University classes, has a small tailor shop, besides taking his law work. To hinder him he was quarantined for diphtheria nearly a month. McCan-
les is a close friend of Bryan and has much of the Nebraskan's persistency. Then too, he is a married man.
David Bispham, doubtless out of deference to the present drouth in Lawrence, sang "Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes," as an encore last night at the Festival.
The Kansas University students who edited the Lawrence Journal for one day reported the fact that L. H. Menger, police judge, owns a building in which a joint was run. It is now reported that the Judge will get back at the students by sending any one of them brought before him as disorderly, to the rock pile. We have a bit of advice for the Judge and the students—don't you do it. Leavenworth Post.
Talks on Illustrating.
Roger Cunningham of the Teachenor-Bartberger Engraving Co., Kansas City, Mo., spoke to the newspaper classes Friday morning on "The Processes or Illustration." Mr. Cunningham was one of the charter members of the first Kansas Newspaper Association which was organized at Manhattan in 1875.
Senior Girls Entertain.
The girls of the senior class entertained the ladies of the faculty yesterday afternoon in the Greek Museum. Ices were served from a table daintily decorated with snowballs and spiraea. About seventy-five guests were received during the afternoon.
Joke Number Two.
Ezra Meeker's "schooner" is the only one in Lawrence that has been in active service for the last day or two.
Mrs. Geo.W. Parkhurst and daughter Mrs. Robt. Garver came from Topeka to attend the Bispham song recital last evening.

THE WORK OF A JOKER.
"The following girls will meet on McCook for baseball practice Friday evening: Greta Collins, Nadane Hearn, Tess Critchfield, Polly Fuller, Mildred Poindexter, Mary Cours, and Gertrude Eason.
Buster Brown, Impostor, Organizes Girls' Baseball Team.
BUSTER BROWN, Coach."
BUSTER BROWN, Coach. The above notice was handed to the Kansan today. It is the result of a practical joke played by Mr. Brown. His spirits were running low and not having anything to do to pass the evening a few nights ago he decided to organize a baseball team among the girls. He called up several girls' rooming houses and represented himself as Dr. Naismith, with the result that the girls named above very enthusiastically joined the team.
K. U. Club in Washington, D. C.
Alumni and former students of the University of Kansas residing in Washington, D. C. recently formed a permanent K. U. club by adopting a constitution and electing officers. T. B. Ford, college '04, is president; E. C. Finney, law '91, is vice-president; and H. S. Bailey, college '02, is secretary and treasurer.
Phi Delts Entertain Bispham.
The Phi Delts gave an informal party last night in F. A. A. Hall in honor of David Bispham, the soloist of the Festival, and Miss Masey of Kansas City. Kelley's orchestra furnished the music. The out-of-town guests were: Harold O. Smith, New York, pianist for Mr. Bispham, Miss Eleanor Neff, Miss Mac Arthur, and Fred Cowles of Kansas City.
McCanles Enters Politics.
Wendell W. McCanles, a senior law and assistant in public speaking went to Lincoln, Kansas today to enter the race for the nomination of county attorney for Lincoln county. Mr. McCanles represented the University at the Democratic banquet last year at Topeka.
Martin Club Entertains.
The girls of the Martin Club gave an informal leap year party Thursday evening in I. O. O. F. The novel feature of the entertainment was the fact that the girls made the dates, took the boys and filled out the program.
K. C. Beck, the bird and animal man of southwestern Kansas, recently sent an antelope and a mountain lion skin to the University museum. They will be mounted and placed in the exhibit.
