as to hazing. Hazing is a foolish
and cowardly custom, without

say in regard to both these

clearly the fact that almost every
thing censurable which occurs is
done through the thoughtlesness
of very small number of stu

Farmers Rather Unique Explanation

A member of a publishing house
is telling story which. he says goes
to show that the spread of the pop
ular novel is constantly increasing.
He was on his way from Paw
tucket to East Attleboro by trolley
and stopped off at the little village
store at South Attleboro to get
nibble of crackers and cheese at
noon
The usual rural characters were
about the counter. He got into con-
versation with some Of them and
was interested to know how their po-
litical ideas ran. He sounded them
along various lines and at last came
to an old farmer who was sitting on
a sugar barrel waiting for the mail.
''Think they're going to make a
good job of the tariff ?" he asked.
"What they doin' to t?" was the
astonishing reply.
"Why revising it, of course. Don't
you read the papers ?" said the pub

A State Wide Issue In Kansas.

William ALLEN White in the En-
poria Gazette.
In every Kansas congressional
district represented by a Can
non-Aldrich Republican, a real
Republican standing upon the
party platform, and demanding
redemption of party pledges will
contest for the Republican nomi-
nation. The differences in the
Republican party in this State
are definite; there is no mistak-
ing the issue. The Cannon Re
publicans claim that Cannon, AL
drich and the eastern leaders of
the party shall interpret what
Republicanism is. The Repu b.
licans opposing these men for
the congressional nominations
claim that the rank and file of
the party as expressed in the
primary shall register the will of
the party-and shall interpret
the meaning of the Republican
platform.
The issue in the statewide
for free Congressman in Kansas
is the issue of self-government in
the Republican party. This is
an irresistible conflict. It is a
moral issue, and prosperity or
panics, good times or bad, have
nothing to do with it. Either

Hazing.

/ some weeks ago the news
had occasion, in reference to the
then recent hazing at the State
University of Kansas, to say a
few things as to hazing in gen
era1 and that case in particular.
This week we received a letter
from Chancellor Strong enclos-
lug his talk to the students at
that time, and calling attention
to the fact that he was absent
when the hazing occurred. That
the K. q. by its officers discour-
aged hazing we well knew. That
less of that sort of rowdyism oc-
cured there than at other institu-
tons of a similar kind we also
knew. But the officers of that
school can do little if they are are
not backed by public sentiment.
The same is true of any school.
We meant in that article to sup
port the schools against that sort
of thing, and Chancellor Strong
so understands us. Hence his
communication on the subject
and his utterances to the stu
dent body there, which we give
below. In that talk he brings to
his aid in support of good order
the feeling of school pride, which
is strong sentiment in any such
place. To that we wish also to
bring to the attention of the stu
dents this added incentive for
good conduct and faithful work
while at school. Every one of
them is in a sense the represent
alive of the community from
which they go, and as such their
conduct, whether good or bad,
reflects on the community. If
they are exemplary in conduct,
careful, faithful and close in APP
plication in their studies, then
their life at the university, or
college as the case may be, is a
source of pride to the whole peo-
pie of their home place. On the
contrary, if their conduct is the
opposite, they by such acts
shame the city, town or COM
munity from which they go. If
any one of them could have seen
the mother love and pride with
which the mother of one of the
students now away from Meade
attending an institution of learn
ing exhibited as she reported to
US the honorable work done and
honors received by her son, it
would have gone farther to dis
courage unseem1y conduct among
students than any mum Der of lee
lures by the head of the institu-
ton, or comment by us.
SETS EXAMPLE FOR UNIVERSITY
Many people have wondered at
the almost total absence of stu
dent disturbances at the Univer-
sity of Kansas. The reason is
understood to be that Chancellor
Strong makes students feel the
responsibility for the good name
of their school. In a talk to the
student body few days ago, he
said:
Destruction of property or
interference with the property
and rights of others is unjusti6-
able whether committed by stu
dents or by other men. Stu
dents are citizens bound by all
the obligations of citizens. They
have no right to demand that
they shall be treated differently
from other men. There is a
sound reason for this. They
should refrain because they are
themselves recipients of larger
privileges than are received by
any. other class in our state, in
that they are being educated at
the expense of the state. They
therefore, have no right to ask
