THE STUDENTCOUNCILIS NOW STARTED.
The student council election on last Thursday was very encouraging to the friends of the scheme. Over half of the men in the three schools interested cast their ballots and many more would have done so had there been more of a contest for the offices and places on the council.
The men elected to make up the first student council are amply capable of making a success of the scheme and before the next election rolls around important results will undoubtedly have been obtained. There is plenty for the council to do; the matter of greatest concern is whether the council will have the time to handle everything that may come to its hands. Those students who say there is nothing for a students council to perform will soon be convinced.
The first work of the council should be to post notice of a mass meeting of the students of the University for the consideration of an amendment to the constitution allowing second year laws to be elected as officers. The law school should be conciliated if possible, they have able men who are needed on the council and in the future many of the officers are sure to be drawn from among the six year law students.
The best musical festival ever held at the University has just closed. The annual two day festival has come to be a permanent feature here and each year the success of the undertaking is increasing. Dean Skilton, the director of the festival, has made a financial success of the enterprise by hard and consistent work and now he has put the festival upon such a good financial standing that the best musical talent in America can be secured. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra yesterday exceeded the fondest expectation of the audience, and Hartmann, the violinist, was a revelation to music lovers. Dean Skilton should be encouraged by the interest taken in this year's festival for it shows that people appreciate what is best and greatest and most sublime in music.
Spoke to Journalists.
According to Sheffield Ingalls, of the Atchinson Champion, who spoke to the newspaper classes after chapel yesterday, there is nothing better than the newspaper work because it is there that opportunity is given to mould public opinion.
"Don't go into the newspaper work unless you are willing to work eighteen hours every day. About the first thing to do when starting in the newspaper business is to become intimately acquainted with the office towel which is the common property of everybody from the editor down to the devil.
The Atchinson Champion is the oldest paper in the state having been established in 1859.

STILL TIME-to get that new spring suit of C.W. Rummell. 413 West Adams. 1817 Bell.
IT is a noteworthy fact that custom tailors through out the east who exact fancy prices for their garments design their clothes from the same fashion plates adopted by the manufacturers who supply us with young men's styles. That is why we can assure you of the same originality of design and smartness of cut that is seen in the clothes worn by the young men of New York's "400." The difference is that our prices are based on actual worth. Be sure to look at the new grays, blues and olive effects we are showing in our exclusive two-button and three-button suits. We have a big collection of these in our special lines at

Sheffield Ingalls Spoke.
Sheffield Ingalls, '95, a member of the state legislature from the Atchison district, spoke in chapel Friday morning on the larger relation between the University and the state of Kansas. In stating that a battle is being waged by true patriots everywhere against a too strong tendency to commercialism, Mr. Ingalls said that he distinctly realized that he was presenting a venerable thought in hackneyed language. Nevertheless he recognized its importance. The success of the battle in Kansas depends upon the average intelligence of her citizens who are educated in the common schools and the University. Harmony must exist in the entire educational system. The firm foundation and splendid structure of the state's lesser schools without the University would be but a great edifice without the roof. Alumni and students of K.U. should at all times conduct themselves so that the state at large should recognize the importance of the University to the highest welfare of the commonwealth. Our pride in the institution, urged Mr. Ingalls, should be coordinate with our love for Kansas.
Tried a Case.
Hugh Fisher and I. H. Stearns of the Senior law school were appointed by Judge Smart of the district court to defend a criminal on Wednesday, and with only a few hours notice tried the case so successfully that he was acquitted on two out of three charges. The officials of the court house speak highly of their management of the case.
