Now that the Law School has come into the Student Council and has elected council representatives we hope that the council will get down to work and do something. It does not matter so much what the council does at first, just so it gets the habit of doing something. That habit will gradually grow on the council and its field of usefulness and of activity will enlarge to keep pace with its ambition. The Student Council is destined to amount to something. It is an important force in other schools and with proper direction will be the same thing here. The members of the council should not be blamed too much for their inactivity in the past. They were rather timid about taking the initiative in student matters in the name of the student body when they did not represent all of the students. Now the council is thoroughly representative and the members will have no excuse to offer if they do not take advantage of their opportunities to popularize the council and make it succeed.
In the Daily Nebraskan's write-up of Saturday's contest the Kansas team is declared to have been outplayed, "Tommy" Johnson is branded as a novice, and the work of the officials questioned. There are schools that always lose with poor grace, but up to this time Nebraska generally had the reputation to win or lose like true sportsmen. Their action after their defeat is all the more surprising. Had the Nebraska team had a chance to win the wail would not have been so entirely out of place, but coming when Kansas made two fair touchdowns, only one of which was allowed to count, the "knock" is decidedly in bad form. We did not think it of Nebraska; it is the last school in the valley that would have been suspected of losing with bad grace.
Nebraska, one of the partners in the Nebraska-Missouri "We must beat Kansas" club has received its little set back. The slogan did not work very well for the Cornhuskers, and when we ponder a little we remember that every team that has met Kansas this year had that same slogan and sprang it with the same dire result. Now Iowa and Missouri "must beat Kansas," and from all appearances "old slog" will be a hoodoo to them also. Some way the enemy just can't down the Jayhawkers
handicapped by their slogans. We can't tell why it is that way, but we are glad that we do not have a slogan. "Old slog," has not been in the Kansas camp for two years and in that time the team has prospered well.
According to the Independent the motto of Coach Roper is "Beat Kansas or beat it." Coach Roper is a nice fellow and we all like to have him in the valley. He gives the team he coaches all he has in the coaching line and he is no quitter. We hope that Roper will reconsider the matter and not leave Missouri just because his team is doomed to defeat every Thanksgiving day. If all coaches were so conscientious on this tender point what, pray, would the Tigers do for football mentors. Anyway Roper must have come out West with some pretty wild dreams if he hoped to defeat Kansas, especially this year.
When the police asked Mat Farrell which way his assailter had flown, he is reputed to have answered, "I don't know. Anyway, he did not pass me." Mat Farrell is no fool. We envy the sterling bravery of the man who will fight a robber with the odds so disportionate, but we admire the common sense of the man who hurries away from that locality.

We have just added to our Special $20.00 Suit line another new selection of fancy grays (including the present eastern craze "two-toned gray checks") also a swagger lot of Belfast plaids and delicately striped blue effects.

PROPHETS AND SAGES OF ISRAEL
SUBJECT OF ADDRESSES BY PROF. KENT.
Prophets Were the Social Reformers of Their Time, He Says Will Speak Tonight.
Prof. Charles Foster Kent of Yale University began his series of lectures on "The Aims and Methods of Israel's Teachers" in the chapel Tuesday afternoon by a discussion of the Hebrew prophets. He explained that these teachers were the pioneer social reformers of their nation who not only foretold events but were forth-tellers. They aimed to mirror conditions to their people and then to present ideals, after which the nation, through its individuals should strive. The written messages of the prophets constitute at least a third of the Old Testament.
On Wednesday afternoon Professor Kent first spoke about the priests of Israel. These men were not simply white robed servants who conducted the altar sacrificial ceremonies, but also teachers who emphasized the value of education. They instructed people in the duties of every day life and taught them to cherish the traditions and customs of the race. Much of their specific advice was given through the method of the sacred lot.
The sages are the least known class of Israel's teachers, said Professor Kent, but they were influential as counsellors of individuals. The sages were lovers of men and in their aim to inculcate wisdom in the minds of the people they used pre-eminently the personal contact with men.
Professor Kent speaks tonight to a joint meeting of the Y.M. and Y.W.C.A.in Myers hall and will make the address in chapel Friday morning.
