EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Are the freshmen legitimate prey for the upper classmen in every way, or have freshmen a right to the pursuit of class politics without hindrance from other students? The barb caucus which the freshmen tried to hold last night in Fraser Hall was called to order by a junior, a sophomore was forced on the meeting as temporary chairman and after a little horse play the lights were turned out and the meeting broken up by upper classmen. Later the freshmen went to Myers Hall and tried to transact their business, but even there a bunch of fraternity upper classmen in the back of the room made trouble and prevented a fair expression of barb sentiment by voting on the candidates. The baiting of a freshman is always hilariously amusing to an upper classman, of course; but the officers of a class have a certain responsibility to the University, and the choosing of them ought not to be done by members of another class. A simple regulation by the University providing that all class elections must be held on the same day might go a long way toward protecting each class from outside interference.
The rural population at the State school at Manhattan has been thrown into great excitement by the near approach of a ride on the cars-trolley cars, which will carry the sons of toil from the railway station to the college back in the hills. A nickle in that town is no longer a thing lightly to be thrown away on a package of chewing gum or a sack of Durham, for it contains possibilities hitherto undreamed of. Once there was a prophet in K.U. who prophesied that some day there would be a trolley line to the University; but he graduated and grew old, and now his great grand children are walking up the hill However, an electric line is now being surveyed between Topeka and Lawrence and some time after the prophet has been gathered to his fathers his prophecy may come true.
To Secure Transportation Home For Voters.
IN REAL POLITICS.
The University Republican club under the leadership of E. E. Brookens, is in cooperation with the Lawrence Republican club attempting to secure transportation for all students who wish to go home and vote. Mr. Brookens announced at noon today that free transportation had been arranged for.
Both the Republican club and the Democrat club have been working to obtain a two day's vacation so that going home to vote will not interfere with the work of the students.
October ninth the Republican club will have a meeting at which several prominent electioners will address the club members. It is the plan of the club to have several meetings before the national election. Mr: Brookens has appointed three members of the club from each school to increase the interest in politics.
Ralph Pryor, a medic student last year, is visiting friends this week. He will leave Saturday for Northwestern where he will study this year.

The end of the student-faculty fight that has disrupted Stanford University for the past four years is in sight. The students have won the battle for recognition, although the faculty has disavowed any intention to give in to the student body. The academic council last week voted to give a degree to Harold Fitch, the former editor of the college paper, who citicised the action of the faculty in regard to the liquor riots.
