A NARROWMINDED LOCAL POLICY.
Last week Governor Marshall of Indiana in a special message to the legislature attacked a bill which had been passed by the house and which increased the state tax levy for the benefit of the University, the Agricultural school and the Normal School in Indiana. The view point of Governor Marshall is interesting as showing that there still exist in an age of broadmindedness and progress many persons, even high in art and politics, who are unique because of their singular narrow-mindedness and unprogressiveness. The chief executive of India has two reasons for cutting down the appropriations to state schools; first because the denominational institutions can take care of the students of college rank and second, because at her different schools the state of Indiana was educating nearly 1000 foreign students. As a matter of strict economy the denominational schools could educate college students at a money saving for the state, but the product turned out would be inferior and today any state is far behind the ideal of a twentieth century commonwealth that does not support a University. The last sentiment, that Indiana cannot spend state money to educate outside students is vicious and a policy so local and narrow as not to be tolerated in a respectable state. Indiana is fortunate in having a great engineering school at Purdue where students from all over the middle west go. At the same time if any Indiana young man wishes to get a real education in the arts or law he goes to Michigan, to Ohio or to Illinois. How much money are those three states spending to educate Indiana young people? The attitude of Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota is the broad, national one on this point. A state school should be for all students in all states so that a person who wishes to specialize in any branch of knowledge may specialize at the best school, at the lowest price.
When the legislature passed a law making the owners of property subject to imprisonment for allowing minors to smoke in or on their premises we wond r if they intended to make the Chancellor serve time for all the infractions of the rule that are found around the University. If that is the intention a liberal appropriation should be made to employ assistants to help serve time in the county jail.
Today William Howard Taft was inaugurated president of the United States. He is another of the steadily increasing host of college men who by their practical ability and their hard common-sense are discrediting the time worn statements that college men are impediments in the big world of men and action.
The inauguration of a president will never appeal to the serious nature of college students, however, until the day is declared a national holiday and all schools are closed.

Workmen are busy in Fowler shops fitting up a new appratus known as an autoelave. The machine is to be used by the Chemistry department in carrying on experiments that require a high pressure. By use of this concern, chemical reactions may be carried on under a steam pressure of 200 degrees, which have been impossible under ordinary conditions.

A Modern Fairy Tale.
A red carnation, a quarter, and the mistake of a page was the starting point for a romance which ended last Friday when Harry Hart was wedded to Miss Effie Stein of Atchison. Mr. Hart, a former K. U. student, was in Topeka covering the doings of the legislature for the Leavenworth Times. Miss Stein had a clerkship in one of the committees of the Senate. One day she called a page and sent a carnation to the Times Reporter. She gave the page a quarter for his trouble. The page kept the carnation and gave the money to Mr. Hart. Explanations followed with an introduction and then a marriage.
Harry Hart was a student here for five years. He was manager of the senior play in his last year and played on the football team for two years.
La Verne Palmer spoke yesterday afternoon at the regular weekly meeting of the Chemical Club. His subject was "The Solution Theory of Carbon and Steel." The theory, which is complicated was discussed at length.

MICHIGAN PROF. IN CHAPEL.
H. A. Sanders told of big Western Schools.
Professor H. A. Sanders, of the University of Michigan, made a short talk in chapel Wednesday morning in which he mentioned some of the marked differences between the University of Kansas and the school which he represents. They have no daily chapel exercises at Michigan. This condition is not caused by opposition of faculty or regents but because the growth of the University was so rapid that it had no auditorium sufficiently large to seat all the students. Hence the authorities could no longer require attendance upon the daily exercises, and the students refrained from coming when the compulsion was removed.
Professor Sanders explained the invisible dividing line between the social intercourse of the boys and girls of the University of Michigan in their recitation and campus associations by saying that the school was formerly a distinctly men's college. Though the results are satisfactory as to scholarship, the segregation weakens the social life and the attendance of girls has made no increase for several years.
