PROFESSOR CARRUTH AND THE MAYORALTY.
Two of the down town papers look upon the candidature of Professor Carruth for mayor of Lawrence with positive disfavor and are letting no opportunity pass to discredit his campaign. For some time these two guardians of the people's rights could find no grounds upon which to base a logical opposition to the Vice-Chancellor. But in the last couple of weeks with rare harmony and concord they have seemingly discovered an issue and have proceeded to ride it all over the lot. The two eagle-eyed editorial writers have made the discovery that Professor Carruth is connected with the University and that therefore he has no right to run for mayor. In other words they decree that any person connected with the University has no privilege to show political activity or to exercise his prerogatives of citizenship. Were this edict authoritative there would be some cause for apprehension among the friends of Professor Carruth. But the people of Lawrence know very well that before Professor Carruth was associated with the University he was a citizen of the town and that at the present time his interests in citizenship, good government and purity in politics take precedence over any University interest she may have. The proper use of citizenship is the cardinal privilege and duty of all Americans. Professor Carruth is not ostracised from citizenship by the fact that he is head of the German department in the University but, like all citizens he has perfect right and privilege to be a candidate for any office under the sun.
The spring plays of the Masque and the Thesplans were the best given by students this year, if not for several years. However the managers of the clubs made a mistake in booking the plays in the same week. There is plenty of room at the University for two dramatic
clubs but not room for two plays in one week. There is no reason for jealous competition between the Masque and the Thespians and the two clubs should work in harmony. One play in the fall and one in the spring will amply satisfy the amateur dramatic craving of the student body and one play a year by each club is all that can be staged with success.
At the meeting of the Board of Regents Thursday a rule was adopted that in the future, except in laboratories, no students be employed for instructional work. In times past the path of the student on his journey toward knowledge has been made thorny by student instructors, and, while they have not all been poor teachers by any means, the action of the board was necessary. Commencing next fall students are sure to be guided on the road of learning by preceptors trained and experienced for the task.
