EDITORIAL COMMENT.
After the fitful fever of a few days of excitement another erratic, spasmodic agitation among the students for a students' council has passed on to its rest alongside the numberless other schemes that have lived and died. It has been only two weeks since excitement was high and a students' council was a thing to be realized in a few days. So it was last year and year before, and the year before that. Somewhere in the hands of a committee that is supposed to meet another committee all the plans are sleeping and would it be a reckless prophecy to venture the opinion that its slumbers will last until Fall rolls around again and the extreme need is again felt. The Kansan would, however, like to see the students organized and a council to enforce the freshman rules.
A fair example of journalistic inaccuracy occurs in this morning's Topeka Capital. On the editorial page is a communication from Professor Blackmar in which he repeats his much misquoted remarks about marriage and the standard of living. In the news columns of the paper occurs a more glaring perversion of the professors remarks than had previously appeared. If the schools of journalism which are springing up over the country succeed in developing a race of reporters that will have even a slight respect for accuracy they will more than justify their existence, but such a change would come near revolutionizing the newspaper industry.
Some unscrupulous correspondent whose love for a few paltry dollars is greater than his love of the truth and who judging by his effusion has neither brains nor respect for the University, has written to the Topeka Capital a grossly distorted account of the social conditions existing at the University. He says among other things that girls have been
Freshmen Engineers:
In about two weeks you will be needing a Set of Drafting Instruments for your Engineering Work. I am Importer of one Set, "The University Special," which has taken the lead for two years. This Set excels for two reasons. It contains Swiss Ruling Pens, which makes it worth more than any other Set offered. Another reason: I import these in lots of one hundred, and the quantity enables me to furnish you with a better Set for the money than any other dealer. Every article in the Supplies is bought in such quantities that enables me to furnish you better articles than others offer. Every Set is guaranteed for one year, and any defective part will be replaced tree of charge. Your name on every piece and on the case.
Cut this out ; it will mean 50c for you on the purchase of your Set.

caught in the arms of "a man." This two-by-four brained correspondent might have been truthful enough to have left out the statement that the couples were caught. We insist that they were not caught and a rank injustice is being done in stating that they were.
