THE STATE UNIVERSITY AND THE PEOPLE.
And now the modest State Agricultural college at Manhattan wants to take under its direction the work of forestry and road building in the state. The college at Manhattan is evidently sparing no pains to entrench itself in the favor of the people of the state and it realizes that one of the best methods in which to do this is to get as close to the life of the people as is possible. The farmers at Manhattan already have more and better buildings that the State University. Their annual income exceeds that of the university by $108,000 already, and they are constantly making an effort to increase it. Now this is a condition that does not exist in any of the surrounding states. With the exception of Kansas the income of the university exceeds that of the agricultural college in every other nearby state. What is the cause of the particular hold which the school at Manhattan has on the people of the state to the exclusion of the State University? It is undoubtedly caused by the close relations which the Agricultural college bears to the most important industry of the state. Yet from the State University come the lawyers and politicians, newspaper men and members of the state legislature of Kansas. When we contemplate these things we are tempted to ask if it isn't after all the farmer who runs the state of Kansas. Anyway, it behooves the University of Kansas through its educational extension courses, through its industrial scientific departments, through its pedagogical department and lecture courses to get in closer touch with the common every day life of the people of the state. When it succeeds in doing this it will not only have benefited itself but will be rendering the full measure of service to the people upon whom it depends for its maintainence.
And a Thanksgiving day has passed and again a halcyon
stillness seems to prevade the lair of the tigers at Columbia. They are wondering how it all happened. The best team won there is no doubt of that. The only wonder with us is how Kansas year after year with little effort gathers together a better squad of football players than can Missouri although they strain and plan and plot and make the Thanksgiving game the goal of a season's schedule. It cannot be in the size of the schools for Missouri is larger than Kansas, it is not altogether and always the faults of coaches for Kansas and Missouri have both changed coaches many times since the old story of defeat for Missouri, victory for Kansas began. No, it must be that Kansans are built of just a little firmer stuff than are the Missourians. It must be that Attica and Geneseo and Beloit, wherever they are out in Kansas, grow just a little finer specimens of manhood than the hills of the Ozarks or the home of Mark Twain can produce.
Afterthoughts
"They can't elect a governor and they can't play football," is the way a Kansas City colored man was heard to sum up the situation in Missouri after the game.
It is rumored that there has been a great pressing of dress suits among the Beau Brummels since the rumor came out about the "all star" party.
It is presumed that Coach Monilaw's "bow-wow" play went to dog-heaven after its untimely death.
What a long, weary stretch
will ensue before the Christmas recess, without the sign of an excuse for a holiday.

There are three big reasons for the extraordinary demand we are having for our new Raincoat styles. One is the enormous variety of models, patterns and colors shown and the certainty that each man will find precisely what he wants. Another is the assurance that the garments are the products of the most prominent makers in America—the very best Raincoats made. The other is the important fact that throughout the entire display the prices range from $2.50 to $5 lower per Raincoat than similar grades sell for in other stores.
