A NEW CONVERT TO LAW AND ORDER
The following quotations taken from the Lawrence Journal of April 27 and May 14 show a transformation of opinion in regard to law enforcement that is truly remarkable. The first quotations were taken from the paper the day after the students' edition came out; the latter quotations are the expression of the paper after 500 Lawrence citizens had met and organized a law and order league. The Kansan congratulates the Journal on its conversion to the cause of law and order. The sting of past condemnations is almost taken away by the beautiful bouquets which the pusillanimous down town paper passes to the student in the issue of last Thursday.
"It was a mistake from any standpoint."- Lawrence Journal, April 27.
"The remarkable success that attended the efforts of the students ought to be improved." Lawrence Journal, May 14.
"They (the students) used bad judgment in making the most prominent feature of the paper the fact that University students have a habit of getting drunk on the east side." -Lawrence Journal, April 27.
"In common with the people of Lawrence the Journal congratulates the students in the great success that has attended their efforts. They deserve much praise."—Lawrence Journal, May 14.
"The cause of the silly move on the part of these students . . . may be laid down to youth and inexperience, so of course they will get over that some day."—Lawrence Journal, April 27.
May 14, the Lawrence Journal said of these inexperienced youths: "They hunted out what the officers of Lawrence have been unable to do and brought the offenders to justice."
"Lawrence is comparatively clean and it is the cleanest town in Kansas."-Lawrence Journal, April 27.
"We must make Lawrence cleaner than it is."—Lawrence Journal, May 14.
EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The agitation that has been going on at the State Agricultural College to have the word "Agricultural" eliminated from the title of the institution seems everywhere to be meeting with ridicule. It looks to the outside observer as if Manhattan was making a serious mistake and is liable to overshoot itself. The people at Manhattan should know that the great popularity the school at present enjoys over the state is due to the fact that it is a school supposed to train young men for the occupation that most Kansans think is the noblest of all occupations. Then again the people at Manhattan should realize that in after years, when the remembrance that the School at Manhattan was originally a farmers' school has died in the minds of Kansas people, some legislature may decide that it is folly to maintain two colleges in one state, and as the State University will always have the advantage over Manhattan, decide to combine the two and discom-
