EDITORIAL COMMENT.
There is an agitation at Colorado University to make a daily paper out of the weekly now there. At Missouri the weekly publication will in all probability next year be changed into a daily. The Washburn Review, a weekly, opposes this rapid change which is going on in college papers from weekly to daily issues. But it is the same change that came about in newspapers of the outside world some score of years ago. A weekly paper can not be other than a kind of literary magazine. The news it publishes is stale. Of course it may be soothing to some of the amateur literary people in school to see their efforts in type, but for ten cents one can purchase a magazine that contains more and better contemporary literary matter than all the college weeklies of the country combined. The news published in a weekly college paper if it is of importance has already been published. To tell the cruel truth about the matter it is really hard to find a good excuse for a college weekly paper existing.
It was reported that Bennett was robbed in the park, but there seems to be a general impression that Mr. Bennett was robbed in his imagination. The Lawrence World goes a little strong when it imputes to all the student body the practice of getting robbed for the purposes of extracting money from fathers at home. No doubt by this time Mr. Bennett would himself be willing to admit that he is a very minute part of the student body.
The advantage of a university training is exemplified in the following figure, which Hon. W.R. Stubbs employed in his letter to Senator Balie Wag-
gener this week: "The political pass and the convention and caucus system were the thirteen-inch guns in the hands of the politicians that seldom failed to bring down the political plums."
Those who are so strongly opposed to girls taking a part in the election of the members of the student council might bolster up their argument that girls are dishonest in politics by citing the recent athletic election at Barnard College where 325 girls cast 350 votes.
Betas Defeat Phi Psis.
The Betas defeated the Phi Psis in a fast game of base ball Tuesday afternoon. Only five innings were played on account of darkness. This victory gives the Betas the championship of their division, having already defeated the Phi Delts and Sig Alphs. A series of three games will be played by the Betas and Phi Gams to decide the championship. The winner of this series gets the loving cup given by the Schmelzer Arms Co., of Kansas City.

The students at the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Ft. Worth, Texas, have arisen in an insurrection, and demanded the removal of President Harrington.
Prof. Heath Bowden of the Philosophy department of the University of Cincinnati has been asked to tender his resignation.
