Bill Hackney seems to have forgotten that he himself has had two nephews to graduate from the school that he thinks has been imposing upon the state. He forgets that the people of his county have a score of students attending the University and incidentally it might be a good idea for some of the Cowley county delegation to call on Mr. Hackney about June 10 and straighten him out as regards the institution that he calls by the new name of "Lawrence University." LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY AND BILIOUS HACK- NEY In the Arkansas City Daily Traveler away down in Cowley county appears this announcement made by W. P. Hackney in a lengthy statement to the people of Cowley county in which he announces himself for the state senate: "I will pay my respects to the organized biennial raids upon the State treasury, and incidentally to the Lawrence University, that has procured appropriations out of the state treasury in the last three sessions to the amount of more than sixteen hundred thousand dollars, and in connection with the other educational institutions of Kansas is secretly, but surely undermining every sectarian college in the state." Old Bill Hackney was showing some strangers around the town of Winfield one day when they came upon a building owned by him on the front of which were the initials W. P. H. Hackney had secured the building in some way of which he was not very proud. "What do those letters stand for," inquired one of the visitors of Bill. "Those letters stand for, 'William Played Hell,'" replied the boss of Cowley county. And it would seem that William is still playing at the same old game. True there are a couple of little obscure colleges down Hackney's way and of course that accounts for the attitude of the senatorial aspirant. But we have an idea that the state legislature knew what it was doing when it voted the money for the University and the people of Kansas generally know what their legislature is doing. It didn't take any lobbying, or unfair methods of graft, or political pulls to get the legislature to vote every cent it has voted. The people of Kansas believe in education and For Commencement BOOKS IN FINE BINDINGS BOOKS IN SETS PICTURES PENNANTS, SEALS, ETC. The University Book Store It has seemed to the Kansan that it would be altogether the proper thing for the University to take an interest in politics. The University should not line up behind any party but should always exert its influence on the side of right. There are men running for county offices in Douglas county now who are pledged to the whiskey element in case they are placed in office. They are making a desperate fight for their places. Is it the proper thing for the University to stand by and see such men put in office? Myers Hall for Y. M. C. A. The University Y. M. C. A. will have its headquarters in Myers Hall. The special classes for each organization will be conducted as they have been in the past. The reading rooms and the library at Myers Hall will be thrown open to the members of the Y. M. C. A. and to their friends. In speaking of the matter Secretary Hagerman, said "In absence of a central Y.M.C.A.building,the students need a meeting place. We hope to make Myers Hall the headquarters for all student activities." It's now or never for those old shoes, why not let Newby's repair them. Announcement.
