A TRUE STATEMENT.
No fairer statement of the situation in which the University finds itself regarding appropriations has been made than is found in the following terse and pointed editorial in the Kansas City Star. In this matter the University is not to be considered as an institution apart, but in its relation to the state. The Star says:
"Kansas is a state which has banished illiteracy, taken particular pride in its educational system and built up with infinite pains a great state university that ranks among the foremost institutions in the country.
"The politicians who this year cut down the funds for the University $82,000 below the total of two years ago have failed utterly to read the Kansas spirit. The best in education is none too good for the state's young men and women. To impair the efficiency of the University is not the way to get the support of the people of Kansas."
THE BASE BALL TEAM.
At last the baseball situation has cleared. For the past few months there has been considerable speculation as to what action the Athletic Board would take in the matter, and it was generally considered that our varsity nine for this year would have to be recruited from strictly amateur players. According to the rule established yesterday, all those who have not played in organized baseball are eligible for the team.
In view of the general uncertainty over baseball that exists among the other schools in the Conference, the action of the board was the only logical and practical thing to do. The other schools have stood or a certain degree of leniency in the rules and if Kansas was to play ball with schools in her class, it was necessary to make some rules that were not too stringent.
The Kansan believes that the Board was right in its action yesterday. If baseball is to be played by a nine that is representative of this schol, let us make a creditable showing as compared with other schools. The mere fact that a man has received a few dollars for playing a few games of ball in his home town, ought not to bar him from playing on a varsity team. A strictly amateur rule in regard to baseball is not the solution of the problem in its relation to the University.
Gaston's Idea of Kemp
Harry H. Kemp, tramp poet, is in town. Mr. Kemp is selling so much verse nowadays, and is in such a high state of prosperity,
that the hoboes have cancelled his "card" and expelled him from their union. Mr. Kemp, by the way, is one of those who does not believe art can be expressed by the need of a haircut and a flowing cavat.—Topeka Daily Capital.
CAPITAL LAUGHS LAST.
Is Taking Over the Muckraking Magazines, Says Dr. Mathews.
"The day of the muckraking magazine in America is past," said Dean Shailer Mathews, editor of The World Today, in his address before the classes in journalism yesterday.
"The taking over of the American Magazine by the Morgan syndicate marks an epoch in magazine history. The financial condition of many of the great publications is not sound, and it may be only a matter of time until they are all acquired by the capitalists. While this may make no apparent change in the editorial policy of the different publications, it will most certainly put an end to muckraking journalism. If Tom Lawson desires to enter that field again, he will have to issue a publication of his own."
"If there is any business in which you may see your money going for nothing, absolutely nothing, it is in the magazine business. All your expenditures go toward increasing your subscription list, and subscriptions are liabilities. Every copy of a magazine costs more to produce than it is sold for, and the publisher must depend on advertising for his profit, which is generally small enough. The aim of every company is to secure a large enough circulation list to

appeal to the advertiser, and he will willingly sacrifice the price of subscription in order to gain this end."
In conclusion Dr. Mathews spoke concerning the general makeup of a periodical, and the duties of the editor: "The head of a magazine must imagine himself to be his own constituent, and view prospective copy from the reader's point of view, forgetting his own likes and dislikes."
Dr. James Naismith, chapel director, has gone to New York on business. He will be absent from the University two weeks.
