The boast of heraldy, the pomp of
power,
And all that; beauty, all that wealth
e'er gave
Awaits like th' inevitable hour
The paths of glory lead but to the
grave. Thomas Gray.
And we, too, favor.early shopping.
We are old-fashioned enough to be
lieve that the mutilation of University
property and petty thieving should be
deait with by the police department.
THE UNREADABLE
We could look forward with pleas
ure to Christmas but for an instinc
tive fear that old Santa will bring four
or five gift books. Some of our friends
are just careless buying a book as
they would a deck of cards. No harm
here. The book can be used to fill up
space in the bookcase.
But Bpare us from tnose who make
us the victims of their literary hob
bies. To ub, perhaps, Edgar Allen Poe
and his writings may be a nightmare,
and we may have read enough of that
great poet's ravings to convince us
the we do not want to read any more.
However, our friend doesn't know this,
or perhaps he wishes to illumine our
literary darkness, consequently, we
are blessed with a de luxe edition of
the Raven. No harm so far. But the
next week, meeting our friend, we are
asked to express our opinion of Poe's
literary technique. Then comes the
moral problem: whether 'tis better to
four-flush and please him, or tell the
truth and be rated as an ungrateful
barbarian.
There are other Mends who take
advantage of the privileges of Yule
tide to do missionary work. Dr. Fred
Morrow Fling is sure of receiving a
well-bound volume on "German Cul
ture." Some one right now, having
Lieutenant Parker in mind, is nosing
around the bookshops looking for a
book denouncing Roosevelt's theory of
military preparedness. And, as for
the editor, he is expecting a gift book
with a title something like this: "The
Y. M. C. A. as the Great Protector of
University Morals."
The giving of books is a harmless
habit by no means to be discouraged.

in some of the other great universi
ties. As an example of such a school
he cited the University of Virginia,
where such a spirit forces those of
questionable morals to get out. He
stated that no such things could hap
pen there which are happening here
right along such as stealing in the
Gym locker rooms, copying of notes,
stealing of rides on trains on football
trips, and many other similar acts.
The talk was wound up with a sum
mary of these different things and the
professor showed how they all pointed
back to onFNtfg thing a false stand
ard of life.
Doctor Fling's talk was well re
ceived by the students, many of whom
wondered if Doctor Fling could not
give this kind of a talk some time in
the near future to the whole school.

MAXEY HAS ARTICLE
ON VENEZUELAN TROUBLE
Volume Twenty of "Great Events by
Famous Historians" Contains Ex
cellent Article by Dr. Maxey
Volume XX of "Great Events by
Famous Historians," published by The
National Alumni, contains an article
by Dr. Edwin Maxey on "The Vene
zuelan Arbitration." It is written in
the doctor's characteristically lucid
style and is a clearand able interpre
tation of the meaning of this event
from both the political and the legal
standpoints. The doctor says in part,
on page 85: "As between sanctioning
a rule that would encourage irrespon
sibility on the part of one class of
states and one that tends toward
tyranny on the part of another class,
it seems to us that there is a middle
ground arbitration. This would at
least be an equitable as well as a
practical method of determining upon
the validity and the amount of the
claims; and, as for the enforceing of
the award, the objection that the arbi
tration tribunal cannot compel pay
ment seems to us to have more theo
retical than practical force, inasmuch
as solvent states would not, except in
very rare cases, refuse to carry out
the terms of the award and as
against insolvent states, even force is
impotent.'" He then discusses the
subject of "pacific blockade," which
he says "is as much a contradiction in
terms as would be 'friendly hostili
ties.' "
K. U. Advisor Would Have Less Fuss
ing at University
"It is not good form for the women
of the University to take too much
attention from the men," said Mrs.
Eustace Brown, advisor of women, be
fore the women's mass meeting in
Fraser Hall a few days ago. Mrs
Brown was speaking of the criticism.
j which she said was just, of the femin-
ism of the women of Kansas. "But the
' sin of too close relationship between
men and women is greater than that
of feminism. The women should not
allow the men to waste 6o much time
and money on them. The young men
here are too much, aware of the wo
men's charms, and it is the duty of
the women to help turn the attention
of the men to other things." Daily
, Kansan.

Daily Kansan Finds Fault
With Quality
There has been a scarcity of water
on the campus at Kansas University
for the last few weeks. The city en
gineer of Lawrence has now succeed
ed in furnishing plenty of water, but
there is considerable complaint con
cerning the quality of the supply,
which the Daily Kansan describes as
"looking like castor oil and tasting
worse." The water has been tested,
however, and found to be neither im
pure nor harmful.
