EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Hospital Association has as yet only 465 members and it takes 700 to make the association a success. The fee is only $2.00. There is not a father or mother in Kansas but what would be anxious for their son or daughter in the University to join the association if it were explained to them. Next letter you write home explain the matter to the "folks at home" and see if you can't get $2.00 extra and do it before October 15, for after that date the fee will be $3.00.
Washington University has a daily paper which is issued in the morning. The professors in the school are making an effort to change it to an evening paper because the students spend all the morning class hours reading the paper. One professor says to attract the attention of the students he must get more sensational than the college paper and that he considers impossible.
This is the year the University is to ask the legislature to open up its pocketbook and it is not too early for the newspaper men of the University to begin a campaign of education. Not so much a campaign of commission as of omission. Just omit some of the saffron hued stories that are so profitable and write just a little more of the real truth.
The Lawrence Gazette, with true enterprise, states that "the press dispatches say that Upton Sinclair stopped off in Lawrence to see Harry Kemp." There are only a few newspaper offices left in Kansas where the editor, in order to be always near his base of supplies, clips his local news from the metropolitan dailies.
The only kinds of "kicks" the Kansan solicits are those of subscribers who fail to get their paper. There is always trouble in getting the delivery of papers started and subscribers are invited to kick and kick hard if they fail to get their paper.
The Lawrence World was the only Lawrence paper that contained an account of Upton Sinclair's visit to the city. But that fact is easily explained when it is known that the editor of the World is a member of the Scoop Club.
