TRUE COLORS HAVE BEEN REVEALED
The conviction of the jointists in district court yesterday was a signal victory for law enforcement in Lawrence. The students' edition of the Lawrence Journal was directly responsible for the question of the enforcement of law being squarely presented to the people of the city. But to the county attorney and sheriff must be given a great deal of credit for what has been done. Thomas Harley and Sheriff Woodward are two men who evidently have no strings attached to them. Lawrence is fortunate in having one daily paper that is not afraid to take its stand on the side of the law. The fight that has been made for law enforcement in Lawrence logically belonged to the Journal, but with a cringing cowardice that was disgusting that paper ran from the responsibility. The Lawrence World took up the fight, although there was no obligation resting upon it to do so except the obligation that right and good citizenship imposes. Those connected with the University should be slow to forget where the different officials and papers of Lawrence stand on the question of law enforcement.
The Kansan knows that those who have been most deeply concerned in the affair have nothing to regret for the part they have played although they have been subjected to severe censure. All the good citizens of Lawrence, a tremendous majority of the students and the officers of the law are with the Scoop club. The east part of Lawrence, two newspapers, and a few other disgruntled persons are expressing regret that the
matter ever came up. Of course this small squad of lawbreakers and "sore heads" makes more noise than all the law abiding, but their blatant invectives should deceive none.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The debating season is now closed in the University. What does a retrospect of the past year show? Out of four debates the past season Kansas has won one, and each debate, except one, was with a much smaller school than the University of Kansas. What is the matter with debating in the University? Does the fault lie with the debaters? No, for Kansas had as good men on the teams this year as she has ever had. The Kansan believes that the debaters should have some one to train them in debate and secondly that the University should give some material encouragement to debating by giving the debating societies better quarters and lending encouragement to the organization of debating societies.
Such meets as the one to be held on McCook field Saturday are one of the best advertising mediums the University has. It is up to the students of the University to treat the visiting high school students as well as possible when they are at the University. If a high school athlete spends a pleasant day here he will not only have an incentive to come back the next year, but will advertise the fact in his school that the University of Kansas is a great place.
