THE COLOR LINE AT *. U.

Some comment is caused just at
present by the fact that because ne
gro student won in the debate at the
University of Kansas, the student
body as a whole refused to back him
as they usually do their debaters when
he engaged in the annual debate with
Baker, as the representative of K. U.
Some months ago the State Journal
commented on the statement, emanat-
ing from Lawrence, that .colored
students were not tolerated on the
athletic team at the university
most startling statement when one re-
members that the very soil In the
shadow of Mount Dread was once
consecrated to the freedom of the
black man; that the city of Lawrence
had its beginnings in a movement to
free the slave.
It can scarcely be believed that this
apparent snobbishness is. deep-rooted
at K. u. People who do not desire to
receive the average colored person as
a social equal have a right to do as
they please, but jealousy of a negro
because he defeats his Anglo-Saxon
competitors in debate denotes in
feriority rather than superiority. A
colored youth who is a victor over his
white associates in contest of brains
is certainly entitled to a great degree
of credit. William Allen While, who is
not only an alumnus, but who is also
a regent of the university, makes
these sensible remarks about this
matter:
"a negro won the right to represent
the Kansas State university in a de-
bate with Baker university, and 1t is
60 hof -
to go to Baldwin. and cheer for kan
sas university because their debater
was colored man. 1t 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 who are now in school, no
matter whether the DICTATOR of today
happens to be a pink-eyed albino,
yellow-haired caucasian, a straight
haired red man, a squint-eyed China
man, or a saddle-colored black man.
The color of the mans skin is of no
Importance, if the color of his brain
is good and gray. If the colored man
beat the white men fairly, the white
men are mighty poor sports, and ex-
ceedingly cheap pikers not to get be-
hind him, when he represented the
university. 1t is that kind of miser-
able prejudice that makes the race
problem. Here was a black man who
by hard work and honest effort had
risen above his fellows. He had risen
further than the white boys he beat,
because he started from the Jungle
only a few centuries ago, while the
white boys have been thousands of
years coming his distance. Why then
as gentlemen should not their sport
ing blood rise to honor this poor
slaves grandson who has come SO
well so far? The boosted Anglo
Saxon superiority should not fail to
make a white boy a gentleman when
he is loser to one whom he believes
is his inferior. A few miserable flukes
like that will make the Kansas people
wonder whether they are educating
thoroughbreds Or scrubs at their big
state SCHOOL,

THE WEATHER.

This is notice to the weather bureau
that 1t is time to give old Winter
shove into the past and let Spring have
q chance There has been altogether
too much fooling going on in the
weather business. First ii has been
summer, and then winter again. Spring
has not had half a show-not even a
side-show-and that at a season Of the
year when spring ought to have the
whole circus. big tent, menagerie and
all.
To be sure, the touches OF chilliness
we have had recently would not have
been SO noticeable had 1t not been for
the midsummer heat that was run in
on us in March. That is what really
played the mischief. With the mer-
curry above so degrees in the shade, we
began IL fear .hat spring, beautiful
spring, had been overlooked in max
ing up the calendar of 1907. and an
oversight of that kind is not easily
forgiven.
Just as we had made up our minds
that the glad simmer time had arriv-
ed; just as a few misguided and I'M
suspecting individuals had laid aside
their heavy ones and were beginning
to think of resurrecting last seasons
straw hat; just as the impecunious
young man with social aspirations had
succeeded in negotiating a loan on his
overcoat and had applied the proceeds
thereof towards a new outfit fer Eas-
ter; just as the pessimist had given up
all hope of killing the peach crop this
year; just as the inoffensive onion and
the red -adish had been fooled into be-
lieving it time to put forth their ap-
pearance; and just as the average man
of spring fever and a longing to dig
in the dirt, along came a forgotten
installment of winter and made glad
the heart CT the gas man. Now we
shall have to go through the spring
fever season all over again.

TOO sELF-DENYING.

Jack loved Amanda dearly,
She gave him all her heart,
But infimated clearly
That he and she must part
Unless he gave up trifling ways
And cut out them three-ring displays
Jack threw away his brier,
Tobacco and cigars;
Chucked cards into the fire;
Quit drinking at the bars;
He gave up everything almost
Excepting n1ush and tea and toast.
Amanda, proud at seeing
Her Jack another man,
Got all her friends agreeing
To initiate her plan;
And started buying right away
Her trouSSeau for the wedding day.
Jacks love of self-denial,
Robust with exercise,
Drove him to one last trial
The browning sacrifice
Though almost more than he could do.
He gave I'D sweet Amanda, too.

CFrorn the Atchisen GIobe1
The man with the hair lip always

Some people say everything is for the

The bride is never nervous, and the
groom always thinks he has a lot of
nerve because he showed up at all.

wife's kin, it is apt to be younger

along to take the conceit out of him.
There was a fracas at the Globe office
yesterday afternoon, and perhaps the
truth about it will be interesting. For
many years, railroad officials have had
a habit Of visiting towns on their lines
once a year. Led by the local agent,
they visit the newspaper offices, al
though the railroad officials do not care
to see the editors. We have stood this
for twenty-nine years, owing to passes,
but passes having been Withdrawn jan
uary 1, 1907, we rebelled yesterday:
when Jim Garside appeared at this office
with a party of Santa Fe officials, we
refused to let them in. We regarded
since he knew the officials did not care
to see us, and since We have often told
him we did not care to see the officially
therefore we pushed him down the
steps, which started the story that there
had been a fight. In the railroad party
were the general manager, the passen-
ger traffic manager, the general passen-
ger agent, the second vice president,
and two or three officials whose names
we did not learn. We are tired of these
officials looking over our office with u
superior air which seems to say: These
dubs should see the Tribune office in
Chicago and passes having been with
drawn we do not intend to stand It any
longer.
