that nothing else VIII keep German
Poland properly subseryient to the
Hohenz0llernS. Russian Poles prefer a
Russian to a German tyrant, and the
remarkable modification of pretensions
by the Warsaw delegation in st. Peters
burg since the purposes of the kaiser
became known indicates that conserv-
at1ve Polish sentiment realizes the folly
Of being ground to pieces between the
upper and neither mill stones of Berlin
and St. Petersburg. Herein lies the
best guaranty of a compromise ADJUST
ment.
In the capital of Nicholas. and even
in Odessa and Moscow, it looks as If
the revolutionary factions had over
trained. The m0derates, who include
most of the ssintellectuals" support the
principle of the sympathetic strike to
show the solidarity of Russian popular
feeling against the industrial policy of
the bureaucracy, but they have no de-
sire for anarchy and its horrors. For
one brilliant fanatic like Maxine
Gorky, who is raising some of the blood
thirsty ana aesthetic cries of the French
revolution there are hundreds of saner
spirits among the intelligent classes
who counsel the workmen to go slowly.
This is a political strike,a said the
delegates. "and I can not reckon with
it as I do with a strike for industrial
betterment. It is led by men who
wish to get their hands upon the
l41Odb OF the government Iuey are
essentially anarchists and nihilists-
They pretend to be trying to help
Poland and to prevent mutiny from
receiving the punishment that it de-
serves But they lie, and they know
they lie"
Men like Hessen editor of the
Pravo, a consistently rational advo-
cate of the constitutional programme,
recognizes the justice of Wttte's state
ment. They are alarmed unless the
violence of the extremists drive away
from the constitution thousands of the
well to do middle class. The de-
testation felt by all liberals for the re-
lgious despotisnn maintained by
Poebie Donesten is as hearty as any
socialist, but the liberals are not will
ing to sweep away all religious insti-
tutions in the fashion urged by Gorky
and the militant wing.

POLAND WORRIES HIM.
Count Witte Has More Trouble With
1t Than Anything Else.

London, Nov 18.-It is Poland and
not st. Petersburg or Penza that gives
the Russian prime minister, Count
Witte the greatest anxiety. Strikes and
pretenders are bad enough but they are
less formidable than the dangers that
led him to proclaim the ancient king
dom in a state of siege. Nothing else
that has occurred since the imperial
manifesto appeared, October 80, has
made so damaging an impression upon
the Paris bourse.
As far back as September Is, it was
reported that Nicholas had resolved to
return to a more liberal attitude toward
the Poles. The edfct on religious toll
Grafton was an earnest OF his change
of policy. Then came the regulation
concerning the use of the Polish Ian
guage in schools. This was followed by
a promise, through Witte, of a consid-
erable representation in the Douma of
the empire.
Paris and London applauded the con-
cessions as calculated to put new vigor
into the life of the country and to con-
solidate it's patriotic sentiments. Now
it is obvious that all these measures
were part Of Witte's scheme to forestalI
Poland's formal demand for autonomy.
yVitte has never been a friend of Polish
nat5onaIjsm and his enemies among the
Russian liberals are denouncing him as
more the tool Of Emperor William than
the minister Of the car in Withholding
the benefits of the ukases.
Undoubtedly the kaiser is behind the

his own. petard Wits has no humor

FROM BUTTE TO HELENA
Trip Is Made in Three Hours and s5
Minutes by Auto.

Helena Mont, Nov. 18.=Despite
the fact that the last hour of the trip
was made in the darkness, Louis Hill,
son of J. J. Hill, president of the
Great Northern, has made a record
breaking run from Butte to Helena.
He left the postofTice at Butte at
o'clock and reached the Montana club
at Helena at 1885, which is within
few moments OF the passenger train
schedule time on his fathers railroad
between those cities. It beats the pre-
vious automobile record made by F.
Augustus Heinz. The record is con
sidered little short or marvellous, as in
making the trip the main range of
the Rocky mountains is crossed at an
altitude of about $500 feet.

THEM SHUT OUT

State Superintendent / L. Dayhon
makes a savage attack on fraternities
and sororities. He is opposed to fra
ternities at the state university, and
other state Institutions. He is max
ing a collection of clippings about the
evil effects Of secret societies in
student life.
This Kenyon college affair" said
Superintendent Dayho6 as he worked
his scissors shipping out a story of
that tragedy from a daily paper. lis in
my opinion one of the results of this
fraternity business. I have no doubt
in my own mind. that the unfortunate
boy who was run over by train while
tied TO the railroad track was tied
there by some fraternity
f'The same night that boy was
killed, it is admitted that another
student had been tied to the track. It
IS CHASTITY to think of such things be-
ing done by students Of college, but
that is the kind of spirit cultivated
by fraternities.
sIn a state institution like the uni
versity, fraternities are an unmlugated
abOminatiOn. They are undemocrauci
they cultivate a class Of snobs; they
have an influence which is wholly un-
wholesome and undesirable. Fra
ternfties and sororities should be bar
red out of every state institution in the
country In q state institution, every
student should have an equal show;
there should be no upper ten to doml-
nate social affairs
THE fact of the matter is that
down here at Lawrence, boy or girl
who does not join a fraternity or
sorority is socially ostra acised. An out
slider has no show. / am free to say
that If / were going to attend school at
the university and should get chance
to iOi0 q fraternitv I would join, I
would do so simply in self defense, be-
cause q, person who is not in such an
organization is outside of the social
life of the school. He is looked down
upon, and this attitude is certainly
encouraged by the atmosphere of the
institution.
"I see that ever. Chancellor Strong.
though himself q fraternity man. has
announced that he viii not lend his
influence toward sustaining the fra
ternity system at the university. I am
very glad he has taken this attitude.
1t would be better, Of course, if he
should come out positively against
such organizations, but coming from
a fraternity man. even his present
policy is significant. 1t shows that
something must be wrong with fra
s'WhiIe It is my opinion that fra
ternites are a bad thing for any col
lege. I am especially emphatic in my
condemnation of frateTnfties at state
institutions. The state institution
should be planned for the benefit of
the poor boy and girl, not for the rich.
If a student is going to occupy a posi-
tiOn of any prominence at the uni
versity, he must join a fraternity, and
that means that he must spend money.
The poor boy is shut out. / hope that
the legislature viii prohibit the ex-
istence of fraternities at the institu-
tons OF Kansas"

K. U. AIR FACTORY.
one of the Few Liquid Plants in
American Colleges.


Lawrence, Kan, Nov 1S.-The Uni
versity of Kansas has the only liquid
air factory west of Michigan. For the
last five years the chemical department
of the university has had an outfit cost
ing $4,000 that has a capacity of 50. so
worth of liquid air an hour The only
college with equipment for manufactur-
ing the frozen air are Cornell, Connec-
ticut Wesleyan, Michigan and Kansas.
There are factories in WASHINGTON and
New York for making the air for COM
mercial purposes. The Cornell plant
was the first equipped and Kansas was
second.
The Kansas liquid air machine was
not installed to make the air to be sold.
It's primary use is for experimental
purposes; that is, to make liquid air to
be used in the chemical laboratories OF
the university.
Has a Good Sale.
Liquid air has been sent from Kansas
to many places for experimental and
scientific purposes. A shipment went
to Colorado Springs last week. A few
days ago an order came from vaude-
vile performer in Memphis, Tenn, for
Tex, Fayetteville, Ark, Illinois and
Kentucky have received shipments from
here in the last month. The demand
for the output is increasing so that it
has averaged more than 100 gallons a.
wear since the plant has been installed.
There is a great risk involved in ship
ping the product. 1t is sent at a tenn
perature of 80 degrees below zero. It
is packed in peculiar TASKS that have
to be imported from Germany. The
TASKS are double. One is inside the
other The two are sealed at the top.
This brings the weight OF the inside
flask, which contains the air entirely
on the top where the TASKS are 5oined.
Between the inner and outer bottle is
a vacuum. This vacuum keeps the heat
from the liquid air. The flask are coat
ed with silver to reflect the heat which
comes from light. With this vacuum,
however, comes the great difficulty in
sending liquid air any distance. The
outside flask has the weight of the air
on it. This is so great that the whole
surface of the outside flask has to sup
port a weight of four tons. AS the
weight of the inside flask is supported
by the narrow top of the whole recep-
tacle the least jar will break the TASKS
apart and spill the contents.
Great Care Necessary.
Utmost care has to be exercised to
get the air to its destination. When an
order is received the air is packed care
fully in a flask. This is strapped in
leather case so that there can be no
slipping. Then it is put in large
square box. The box is covered with
signs. They read:
