Another correspondent to the Topeka Capital, who signs himself "A K. U. Student," says The Kansan is entirely wrong in saying that the student without money is not snobbed at the University. He says The Kansan knows that a man without a "fat" allowance cannot belong to a fraternity. It is difficult to tell just what a "snob" is but we will venture there are fewer of them in the University than in any town the size of the University in the state. Snobbery and ignorance go together. Education and snobbishness are incompatible. There are no class distinctions in the University of Kansas. The individual himself determines how he shall be regarded by his fellow students. Within the last two years at least four students who were either washing dishes or waiting on tables in boarding clubs have become members of fraternities. Money is not a qualification for entrance to the fraternities. At the social functions the fraternity and non-fraternity people meet on a level. We are inclined to think that the distinction which the correspondent to the Topeka paper feels is more a figment of the imagination than a true statement of conditions as they are.
It has been intimated in certain quarters that the Kansan's support of Professor Carruth for mayor of Lawrence is looked upon as "pernicious activity" by down town business men. "You fellers stay on the hill where you belong, and leave the matter of governing the town to the business men who keep the town going," is the way one of them put it. The idea that city government affects the men who take in money along the business streets more closely than the people who spend money with them is apt to be popular with business men; they are apt to lose sight of the fact that men whose names do not appear on the signs of down town shops may have quite as much interest in seeing the
town run right. The Kansan feels that in representing over 2000 of the town's population, who spend more than $4000 every day with the town's merchants, it is entitled to offer its support to a candidate for mayor who will give Lawrence a clean and progressive administration.
The sudden solicitation of down-town paper in deprecating a student joke and trying to make a mountain out of a molehill shows that it makes all the difference in the world who the joke's on.

NOMADS OF THE ROCKIES.
Indian Hunters and Trappers Visit the University.
A half breed Indian trapper and guide by the name of Wilson, with his father and a pack of bear dogs, was in Lawrence yesterday. He visited the University Museum in the afternoon soliciting patronage as a collector of specimens for natural history museums. At present he is working for Yale and several other large institutions.
Young Wilson and his father are returning from Mexico to which country they guided a government party from Alaska through the Rocky Mountains. They stopped at the University of Missouri and were mistaken for negroes, receiving harsh treatment.
From here this pair of hunters will go to Belle Grade, Montana from which place they start on a cross country trip to Alaska. They sell furs and pan gold when they need money. The dogs are used for hunting and sledging purposes.
Wilson knows the Canadian country like a book. He also knows every crook and turn in the Rocky Mountains from Northern Alaska to Mexico. Besides his hunting he finds time to write articles for the "Outdoor" Magazine.
UNIVERSITY CLUB SOON.
Committees Working on Plan for New Organization.
The University Club will soon be a thing of reality unless all signs fail. A thorough canvass of the faculty members was made a short time ago and over three-fourths of them are highly enthusiastic over the project.
A permanent committee to supervise the plan with W. H. Carruth as chairman, and two sub-committees have been appointed. One sub-committee is drafting articles of incorporation, bylaws, rules and regulations. The other is working out the financial end of the matter and arranging for the club and its location.
The reports of the committees will soon be presented and submitted to the faculty for adoption.
