SAM BISHOPS GREAT OPPORTUNITY
Deserted by his own party and with the solid "wet" and business interests against him. Professor Carruth was defeated for the mayoralty on Tuesday. Professor Carruth wanted the office because he felt that it offered a great opportunity to a man who would make a bigger, better, and cleaner Lawrence. He really did not have the time to devote to the work but he was willing to sacrifice his larger and more important interests to aid the town that he lives in. The people for varied reasons did not accept his sacrifice, and Professor Carruth is doubtless the better off for that fact.
In the next few years Lawrence will be in the turning point of her career. With a larger University assured and a street car line promised the town should grow as it has never grown before. Sam Bishop has a big task and a glorious opportunity before him. He must keep the city clean and make it a good place to live in and a good place for the people of the state to send their sons and daughters to school. The University is now and will probably always continue to be the biggest thing connected with Lawrence. One-seventh of the population of the town is made up of students and they are responsible for at least one-fifth of the money spent in the town. The state has made plans for a greater University, the city should now make plans for a greater Lawrence in order to accommodate the University to be.
A Lawrence editor who bears the proud distinction of being a larger contributor to the internal revenue fund than any other man in Lawrence claims that there was rottenness and corruption in the second ward at Tuesday's election, through the voting by the Carruth forces of students who were not citizens of Lawrence. The Kansan knows of only one instance
where a student voted who had not the right to vote, and this student was an avowed supporter of Mr. Bishop. The editor who raised the cry of corruption in the second ward says he is equipped with names and complete data and will make them known to interested parties. It is his duty to print them. Now if there is anything behind the holier-than-thou pose of civic virtue which he has so long inflicted on the people of Lawrence he will do what he can to bring violators of the election laws to justice. The information which The Kansan has is at his service.
Of all the men who have spoken at the University, there is probably not one who has caused more thought among the students than Dr. van Eeden. A person may not agree with everything that the noted Hollander says, but if a person hears his lectures he is forced to think, and healthy thinking never hurt anyone. Dr. van Eeden has a different viewpoint from the average man and his lectures are particularly valuable because they widen the scope of one's thought and help him to run his thinking apparatus out of the rut that confines his powers in a monotonous uniformity.
