Can such Things BE In Kansase

There is no occasion TO place your
university student on pedestal as one
above the ordinary cheap prejud,ces of
humanity, however you may honor him
for his effort to gain knowledge. "Out
in Kansas" the Kansas University stu
dents boycotted their debating team
because one OF them was negro, and
then the negro. was inconsiderate
enough of their race prejudice to 'speak
up aud win the decision in the debate
with Baker, the first debate the univer.
sity had ever been able to take from
that school. The incident is laden with
food for thought. and William Allen
White, OF Emporia, in the sundower
state, thinks some of the though ats
aloud, saying:
at occurs to one who has been proud
for seventeen long years out of school to
cheer for the state university of Kansas,
that the institution is worthy OF the
loyalty of those now in school, no mat
ter whether the debater of today hap
pens TO be pink eyed albino. a yellow
haired caucasian, straight.haired red
man, IA squint'eyed Chinamau or sad
dle-colored black man. The color of a
mans skin is OF no Importance il the
color of his brain is good and gray. II
the colored man beat the white men
fairly, the white men are mighty poor
sports, and exceedingly cheap pikers,
not to get behind him when he repre-
sented the university. 1t is that kind
oi miserable prejudice that makes the
race problem. Here was black man
who by hard work and honest effort had
risen above hisafelows. He had risen
higher than the white men, he beat
because he started out OF the Jungle
only few centuries ago, while the
white men have been thousands of years
in coming his distance. Why, then, rs
gentlemen, should not their sporting
blood rise to honor this poor slaves
grandson who has come so we'll so far?
The boasted Anglo Saxon superiority
should not fail to make II white boy
gentleman when he is loser to one
whom he believes is his inferior. a few
miserable lukes like that will make the
people OF Kansas wonder whether they
are educating thoroughbreds or scrubs
at their big state school.v

all comes about because we have
got into the wrong way of think

admiration for the wonderful works
of nature, beholds mighty river,
as in its ceaseless power and ma
jestic beauty it rolls ever onward
towards the sea. AS we saw the
ripple of the water here and there
as it played around some hidden
rock, we thought Of the pilot who,
when asked if he knew where all
the dangerous rocks and shoals
were along the deep river, replied,
"No, but | know where the deep
water is; and if we keep the boat
in the deep water we shall be safe
and need not worry much about
where the rocks are" AS we
mused we thought there was les
son in this. 1t said to us not to
fool away our lives padding along
the shores ofthe river OF time, prob
ing around trying to find the rocks.
We believe many lives are wrecked,
not as much by the storms OF life,
as by drifting with the tide and
striking these rocks and coming in
to contact with the hidden sins and
dangers along the shore. Push out
on the deep water, head your bark
up the stream. None but lazy, in
dolent people drift with the tide.
Lay hold upon the promises Of God
and pull against the currest, and as
the years roll by as ceaseless as the
flow Of this mighty river we shall
be able to look back with peace and
consolation upon life well spent
in the service of God and human

The dog thought he recognized an old acquaintance and
 made frantic dash. His chagrin on discovering the composition of his "old friend can only be imagined.

INITIATION WOOD pApER.

The Japanese are sending to this country imitation wood papers which are marvellous for their fidelity in re- semblance to the real thing Indeed, it requires absolute destruction to prove that the paper is not a veneer of real wood. Besides the accurate reproduc-
 tion of the markings of the grain of the wood, there is certain satiny sheen on the surface of the paper
 which is' found on woods of many finer varieties, being due to the fleckings of light here and there on the surface.
 There are also the little indentationr
 often seen In wood, so that one being
 shown samples of the paper can hardly
 be convinced that 1t Is an imitation.
 These papers are sent in many differ ent styles, in imitation of the beautiful woods of Japan, as well as the woods of this country. In contrast with the best American productions of the same kind, the latter is seen at glance to be far inferior to the foreign.-Phila- delphia Record.
