Football authorities at the University of Missouri are now, it seems, looking with envious eyes upon the Rolla School of Mines, and are planning another abduction such as was accomplished in 1909 when Gilechrist was coaxed away from Rolla and enlisted under the "Beat Kansas" banner of Coach Roper. Macomber is the bright particular star who has won the hearts of the gridiron enthusiasts. Macomber is the man who crossed the Missouri goal line twice last Saturday, though the points were not allowed by the officials. With Macomber on the Missouri team, the rooters have visions of another season crowned with the exaltation of the Tiger above the Jayhawk. Unfortunately for them, the sentiment shown at the last meeting of the Missouri Valley Conference was one of strong disapproval of Missouri's action in using Gilechrist on the team last year. It is not likely that the men in charge will deliberately fly in the face of this strongly expressed sentiment by putting Macomber on the University squad.
It is a common thing to hear the criticism made of universities that "they are removed from the life of the world." Once more the error of such a view has been shown. When a university has popular student government, with elections that include all the trimmings, such as "roorbacks" and election frauds, a mighty close approximation is made to life "out in the world."
J. E. House, who conducts the column "On Second Thought" in the Topeka Capital, maintains a "bad writing contest," in which he frequently holds mishandlers of the English language up to scorn. And yet he allows Dod Gaston, a frequent contributor to his column, to make free use of the "it having become" construction.
Colonel Roosevelt's remarks about genius recall the advice of the wise old professor of law in the University of Virginia, John B. Minor, "Cultivate habits of industry, young men, and throw genius to the dogs, where it belongs."—Kansas City Star.
An Eastern man made a bequest in his will for an endowment to promote athletics at Dartmouth College. In the West, and
especially at this time of year, no endowments are necessary to make the interest in athletics all that it should be.
Sometimes it really is "the little things that count." The cost of membership in the University Hospital Association is a little thing which may mean a great saving to the student who has the foresight to invest in it.
To show that we are looking on the bright side of things, we hereby affirm our belief that some day, somewhere, two Jayhawker football players are going to pull off a forward pass that works.
A Libel on Our Band.
There were fifteen bands in Kansas City's parade Tuesday, altogether of 390 pieces, the biggest being a 60-piece band from Lawrence. A good deal of noise was had.-Topeka Capital.
One Thing Kansas Has Not.
Kansas City Star.
The University Kansan, published by the students of Kansas University, commenting upon an article in the Star last Sunday in which the writer noted an absence of the "back county" contingent at the university, explains that the reason for this condition is that "Kansas has no back county."
And that is the fact regarding Kansas. Practically every state has its "back counties." Indiana's historic "Posey" county with its "Hooppole" township, has its counterpart in practically all the states in that part of the United States of America known and described in the Kansas language as the "Effete East." From every section comes the report at election time that "the returns from the 'back counties' will not be received for several days." But Kansas sends out no such word as that for the single reason

named by the University Kansan. There are no counties of that kind there.
A new cement sidewalk is being laid from the west end of the engineering building to Prof. G. J. Hood's residence, west of the campus.
There are a few counties in that state as yet not traversed by railroads. Down at Richfield, in Morton county, the people must travel fifty miles to a railroad station. But they make the journey in motor cars, receive mail every day and practically every farmer in the county reads the daily papers and his farmhouse is connected with that of his neighbors and with the railroad towns by telephone. The same condition exists in Stanton, Grant and Stevens counties. The people who live there do not stay because of poverty. They are there because they find it profitable. The real "captains of finance" are to be found among the sandhill counties of Southwestern Kansas. When the young men and young women from that part of the state are sent to the state University and to other colleges they represent the real aristocracy of the state. No one would ever think of suggesting that any part of the "short" grass country comprised the "back counties." You couldn't imagine any sort of relation between the commonly accepted idea of a "back county" and a community where the men are all bank directors and where the women ride to Shakespearean club meetings and afternoon teas in 1910 model touring cars.
