EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The writer can remember, there are perhaps but few students in the University who can not remember how when they left home the Methodist preacher came around and with tears in his eyes, tears like a crocidile sheds, deplored the fact that those in whom he was so deeply interested were going to a school so wicked as the University instead of to Baker where the halo of piety makes the collection of "black sheep" from Kansas homes, known as the Baker student body, mild and tame and—good in the orthodox sense. But if the good preachers and Methodists would keep informed of what goes on at Baker they would be convinced that at least a few humans have slipped into the folds of saints at the little school.
The fact that Tebeau had lowered the rental of his base ball park to a reasonable amount and that the Athletic Board had unanimously accepted the contract, led everyone to believe that the Thanksgiving game riddle was finally solved. At the last minute Missouri has refused to accept Tebeau's terms and is trying to open negotiations with Kansas, which if begun will last probably until the middle of November and leave things in a worse muddle than they were a month ago. Missouri will greatly facilitate matters all around, if she accepts the terms and signs the contract without quibbling or arguing.
Already the annual pre Thanksgiving predictions are beginning to fill the papers telling what a crushing defeat the Jayhawkers are going to suffer at the hands of the Tigers when they meet them at Kansas City. So it has always been, but the "dopesters" have always received an antidote for their optimism on each Turkey day.
In the list of musical organizations published in the last issue of the Kansan there appears no mention of the mandolin club. The mandolin club was one of the best advertising mediums among the student enterprises. An effort should be made to revive it.
Considering that freshman Humphreys of Junction City has a father who is a Phi Psi and a mother who is a Pi Phi it seems somewhat ungrateful that Humphrey had the door slammed in his face when borne to the Pi Phi house, escorted by a Phi Psi.
It appears that Doc. Hetherington has gotten a better proposition from some one else than he has from Kansas City. Come on now managers, loosen up, let's hear just what the propositions are.
Mission Committee Meet.
Members of the mission study committees of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. met Sunday afternoon with Prof. and Mrs. W. C. Payne to discuss their work for the year. Miss Roxana Oldroyd, '04, and Chas. A. Siler, '07, were present and added interest to the meeting. Mr. Siler was accompanied by his sister who is a missionary teacher in Porto Rico.

"Greek Letter" CLOTHES,
One of the ambitions this house has long since realized is to make its customers the best and most tastefully dressed men in Lawrence. This fall it will be more noticeable than ever, especially in the refined novelty styles we're showing in young men's suits. We have made it possible for you to procure, in Lawrence, the very designs and patterns most favored by the students at Yale, Columbia and Harvard.
Special Message to Young Men!
for instance. They're as handsome and classy a type of young men's suits as you'll ever see. And the tailoring is letter-perfect, the work of the finest talent in the clothing profession.
