TIME TO GET BUSY
One sometimes hears it said as a criticism of the University that too much is done for the students of the institution—that they are not allowed to manage enough of their own affairs. One way for the students to obtain a wider management of student affairs would be for them to show a keen interest in matters now under their direction.
Who will bring out some candi dates for the Student Council?
The coming of Ambassador Bryce to the University is a matter of felicitation, for many reasons. It is the crowning achievement in a year in which many distinguished and able men have visited the Universitqy and enriched its life. It will bring the University into prominence as an institution which, more than most

western institutions, has intimate relations with the great thinkers in the busy world of today. But best of all will be the opportunity for the students of a typical western commonwealth, to see and hear the man who has written most sympathetically and wisely of American government—who has been the best interpreter of American institutions to American students.
A Paper's Life Depends on It, Says W. A. White.
"It is only natural for an advertiser to go as far as he can in pressing his views upon the editor of a newspaper where there is a piece of news which he wants written a certain way," said William Allen White in a talk before the sophomore class in journalism yesterday morning. "A big advertiser easily gets the notion that he is helping to support the paper as an act of charity, and therefore has an interest in the news columns as well as in the space in which his advertisement appears.
"The editor's life in his community depends upon his maintaining his editorial independence. It is up to him to show that the ideas in his paper are his own. If he lets the advertiser 'bluff' him, people will be sure to find it out. He had better pull up stakes and start over again in another town, for from that time on he will lose his identity and be come known as smoebody else's representative."
Mr. White told of how he had made trouble for himself by freely printing accounts of rows in church choirs, and the like, in Emporia. ) The opera house advertising was stopped for awhile, he said, because a play was 'roasted;' but the owner of the opera house resumed advertising when he found that the reporter wrote as many good notices when he paid his way to see the show as when he had a pass. "If you try to punish the advertiser who has tried to boss you, you put yourself in the wrong," said Mr. White. "From his point of view what he is doing is all right. You must treat him as fairly after he stops his advertising as when he was paying for space in the paper."

A FRIEND OF STUDENTS.
Mr. Sage Had Great Interest in University.
In the passing of Mr. Henry W Sage at the home of his daughter Mrs. F. A. Wilber, last Saturday the students of the University lost a very sincere friend. Mr. Sage came to Lawrence in November 1905, within a few months of the time that Dr. F. A. Wilber assumed the duties of student pastor. From that time until his death he was vitally interested in the students and all that concerned them. Probably no one in the city not directly connected with the University was oftener seen in Fraser hall and the library than was Mr. Sage. The tall stately figure and the distinguished face of the perfect gentleman invariably attracted the admiration of all he met.
Not only did Mr. Sage regularly attend the public lectures and the special chapel exercises, but he was deeply interested in the athletic life of the school. He attended the athletic contests and the musical entertainments and was ever thoroughly interested in the students themselves. Before coming to Lawrence Mr. Sage had been actively engaged in business in Cincinnati, where he was the secretary of a large gas company. Though not a college graduate his sympathies were so completely with the students here that they were continually on his mind and his association with them was a great pleasure to him.
