A "LINE FENCE" BETWEEN SCHOOLS.
Regent Taylor of the Kansas State Agricultural College introduced into the last legislature a bill forbidding the University to teach agriculture or any directly connected branch and forbidding Manhattan to teach engineering. For this Regent Taylor was severely censured by the students, faculty and alumni of the Agricultural college, and there were many who declared that he introduced the bill at the instigation of the University authorities. In defense of himself Regent Taylor, before the Kansas City Alumni association, said in part: "Instead of graduating seventeen persons in agriculture, as we did last year, of whom, according to my information, but two are now farming, we should send out, every year, farmer graduates by the hundred, who would hasten back to the land. . . . The University people had no collusion, consultation, understanding, prearrangement, or plan, formulated or otherwise, by word, letter or wire, with me. The only motive I can think of adequate to influence a person to such an action is the one that in this case actually applies, viz: That, I thought the thing I was doing ought to be done. It seems to me that it would be a misfortune greater than the waste of money for the state to establish an agricultural course at Lawrence. It seems to me that it would be a misfortune worse than the waste of money for the state to support a second University at Manhattan. I repeat it, a "line fence" between the institutions ought to be established by law."
The Lawrence World, commenting editorially on an objectionable illustration contained in an advertisement which appeared in The Kansan, suggested that not sufficient care is taken by publishers to insure the freedom of the advertising columns from every demoralizing and improper tendency. Reference was made to
he fact that clothing advertisements are illustrated with pictures of gilded youths holding drinking cups, bull dog pipes, or the illegal cigarette, thus giving the unsophisticated freshman the impression that if the unities are to be preserved the habits must go with the clothes. The point is well taken. But in general, the publisher's careful oversight might well extend to other details than the illustrations. The paper which contained the criticism of The Kansan is a notorious offender in the matter of filling its inside pages with advertisements of quack nostrums, some of them dressed in the guise of news to entrap the reader, and malodorous with revolting descriptions of disease. The publisher prints these things, not because he thinks they help anybody, but because they are making him rich. For this reason, much as a renovation is needed in his unlovely inner pages, and those of many other publishers, it is to be feared that this highly objectionable matter will continue to be inflicted upon readers, as long as they submit to it.
Next Friday and Saturday a number of basket ball teams from all over the state will come to the University. The county clubs should make arrangements to entertain guests from their counties and to show them about the University. Let the young people from the high schools know that they are wanted and needed at the University.
A Change for the Better!
While young men's styles are not as spectacular this spring as they were last season, nevertheless our tailors have held to dashing and original lines. The reason is that young men want something "different" in spite of elderly opinion. There has never been displayed a cleaner-cut or smarter line of young men's suits and overcoats than those which make up our excellent assortments for this spring. They began to sell from the moment they were placed on exhibit and we look for the largest young men's trade we have ever had in any season. Suits $12.50 to $30.00. Overcoats $12.50 to
Suits $12.50 to $30.00.
Overcoats $12.50 to $25.00.

When the eye persists in playing upon the face, and the mind to dwell on the character and expression of the subject in a picture, it is evidence of good lighting and correct pictorial composition, but when the eye first surveys all else, and the mind carries more of the surroundings than the character and individuality of the subject it is evidenced of defective lighting or composition or both MOFFETT photographs are known in most large cities of the world by their quality of lighting and composition that give emphasis to individuality which is the principle reason for their being sought by magazine publishers. There is but ONE MOFFETT known in the photograph business; he is now at 829 Mass. St.,—formerly the Morris Studio, which has been remodeled and made most modern in the state.
