Things look promising now for a good Student Council next year. A number of candidates have been anounced, among them the fittest men in the University to hold office in the Council. Several of the candidates are men who proved their ability in the recently-conducted campaign for football. That was a typical example of the service that the members of the Council will be asked to do in their official capacity. A Kansas City newspaper man, writing of the recent meeting of governing boards at Kansas City, said that the conclusions reached there would have been different had it not been for the campaign carried on by the students of the various schools to keep football as one of the Missouri Valley college sports. Students of the University of Kansas were enabled to make an effective campaign for football largely because men of ability directed the movement The men who have in this way shown their capacity should be elected to the Student Council for the next year.
The daring manager of the Minneapolis orchestra, who undertook to give a concert in Denver one evening and another in Lawrence the following afternoon, staked the success of his scheme on the chance that the railroad service might be satisfactory—with a result by no means surprising. The inconvenience caused by the failure of the orchestra to reach Lawrence in time for the afternoon concert was much to be regretted, but by holding a concert this morning, all but a few of the ticket-holders were satisfied. It is to be hoped that at next year's festival, Lawrence will not be at the wrong end of a long trip across the country on the orchestra's itinerary.
WHITE.
From Life, New York.
With shears we clip this extraordinary passage from the Sun, which is nothing if not literary, even in its market reports;
' 'Kansas has quit raising corn and gone to raising hell, and seems to have an over-production,' declared William Allen White several years ago, and he has had no work to do except with his pen from that time on. An equally well-known writer, Samuel Bigthe, recently let fall incidentally the remark that northwestern Canada was engaged in raising land values.'
How—what—why? Oh, come now, this is a little too much. Since Van Norden's Magazine essayed to hitch literature and finance in unlawful wedlock these Wall street reporters have been putting on airs. "An equally well-known writer, Samuel Blythe," Dollars to doughnuts—or dithyrams—you never heard of Mr. Blythe. Dollars to the hole in the doughmats everybody has heard of Mr. White. Since Kansas quit raising hell and went to raising certain rich men, his name is an open sesame to sanctums lined with gold. Fame, emerging from the gamma grass, flaps her wings and proclaims with a thousand tongues the glory and the gains of Kansas. Blythe may sometimes fire a shot that echoes 'round the world; but when White uncorks his fountain pen we seem to hear the fall of the Bastile and the invincible trend of advancing cost.
Honk, honk! It is no longer the wild goose winging his solitary way, "darkly painted on the crimson sky" of bloody Kansas 'Tis the toot of the fattened farmer in his automobile, scattering the dust on the highway—off perchance, to dine and wine in honor of William Allen White new-lighted from a European trip Kansas once more raises and roasts her corn; hell is no longer in the curriculum of her agricultural college. Amid the ears, no longer ruth but rejoicing. Even the crows no longer croak, but cry "Kaw-Kaw!"
"An equally well-known writer," Shucks! Since commerce undertakes to appraise letters why not "equally as good." and be done with it?
Prof. C. A. Nash returned yesterday from Illinois where he was called on account of the sickness of his father.
One would never think of associating good music like the line the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra puts forth, and beer together. Nevertheless, Lawrence will never again hear the weighty German trombone player, who tromboned in the orchestra, for the simple reason that there are no thirst emporiums where 'joy waters'" are dispensed here.
Symphony Trombonist Could Not Satisfy Thirst.
NO JOY FOR MUSICIAN.
Those men who designed the Imperial Hats for this Spring are certainly open to congratulations. They have worked up a series of styles, both in soft and stiff Hats, that easily win the season's medal for originality and snappiness in the $3 field. We're putting Imperials on more heads this Spring than we ever have in any previous season. There's not another $3 proposition like it. We have the entire new line; sole agents in Lawrence. See the new pliant soft grays, the "8 in one" Hats,
When a Kansas reporter interviewed Herr (being short of type we cannot print his name) and asked him how he liked our fair city, his answer was so enthusiastic and explosive that it resembled the boom of the big bass drum at last night's concert.
His reply, when concentrated and put into English was: "Ach, mine son, such a purg! I climbed dot mountain six times to-day and nowhere tonight can I procure von glass of beer. Never more shall I return."
When he finished tears were rolling from the big German's eyes and the reporter's heart was touched.
"Have you tried the bottoms?" the pencil-pusher ventured.
But the man from the Blue Dan ube had fainted and no "restora tives" were at hand.

INSTALLED OFFICERS.
Dr. F. A. Wilber made a short talk to the new officers of the Y. M. C. A. at their installation at the regular meeting Thursday evening. He used as his theme the instructions of the apostle Paul to Timothy with an explanation of how they might apply to Y. M. C. A. officers.
Caldwell made a few remarks from his standpoint as retiring president in which he spoke of the importance and possibilities of the Y. M. C. A in the University. As president-elect Johnson spoke of his realization of the work to be done and pledged himself with the co-operation of the boys to put his whole strength into it with the expectation of making it more successful than at any time in the past.

FAVORS TRAINING TABLE.
Otherwise, Kennedy Is Satisfied With Regents' Action.
"I am glad to hear of the action taken by the Kansas City conference on the football question in the Missouri Valley," said Coach Bert Kennedy, this morning. "If anybody had said to me, a month ago, that football would be retained by the conference schools, I would not have believed them. It's needless to say that I am about the happiest man in town; and it's not from any selfish interests either, for the city papers now prophesy 'the passing of Coach Kennedy,' but because I think the abolition of football here would be a great detriment to the University.
"I think the conference did right in requiring the Kansas-Missouri game to be played in the college towns. I have favored that for a long time. It will help to do away with commercialism—the greatest evil connected with the game.
"The abolition of the training table is the one action taken, which I believe was a mistake. In training men for as strenuous a game as football, every means should be used to make them as 'fit' as possible, and I shall always contend that a training table is one of the greatest helps a coach has in getting his squad into perfect condition."
