IT'S GREAT TO BE YOUNG.

It's great to be young. said the
Kansas City Star in commenting on
the crowds OF college students in that
town on Thanksgiving Day. And it is.
Ii is great to be enthusiastic, throw
heart and soul into clean. manly
sport that has no connection with the
almighty dollar To feel as if our very
happiness depends upon a victory that
has nothing sordid in it, that means
ONLY laurels for our university and
pride in the strength and intelligence
of our young men. 1t is great to feel
that college, state and comrade are
the only things worth while; to feel
our lives are before us, and success
and happiness await us every one. 1t

THE LATE BOOKS.

In this day of rusn and stress the
youths. hopes and less anxious ambi-
tiOns of our mothers and fathers or
our grandparents seem far away and
strange to us. They seem to have
been so different from us. and we can
not get in touch with them. The novel
of their time, while it may stir us with
| its life and motion, still leaves us
with sense of unreality The fireside
tale may thrill us, but it is just a tale
But the old song. with its pathos or
feeling. touches us to the heart 1t
gives us sympathy and understand
ing that nothing else can; the sweet
old song which they loved and sang
can bring us truly in touch. its words
meant to them just what they mean

timent. it's melody was Just as sweet
TO their ears.

The Seuenth Column
That Affinity Club,

When DR.. Cook took a notion to lose
himself before the opening of Con-
gress, and Peary took out time to
count his lecture receipts, it looked
like a dull week for the editor. But
right here new wrinkle in the af-
finity business unfolds itself.
An Affinity cub has been formed at
the University of Missouri which is
raising the ante on anything hereto
fore attempted in the club line at the
university. Six university women
have decided to swear off temporarily
flirting with Latin, Greek, mathematics
and home economics until Christmas.
when it will be time to go home. In
stead they will devote their time and
energy to the more fascinating art of
man-catching. Each club member has
selected an affinity, told his name to
the other girls and toed the mark for
the great race. The rules of the or
ganiZation require that she shall have
only the most distant acquaintance
with her selected victim. (This isn't
nearly so great a handicap as the un-
initiated might imagine) Her choice
made, the young woman must break in
her soul-mate, which is also dead easy
for some girls. Now the rules of the
club say that unless she receives an
unsolicited ca invitation to dance or
show from her victim. she loses the
deal. The penalty is dose of the
water-cure and unw2lcome publicity.
But as Josh Hawkins would say.
there aint goin' to be no penalty. Tn

the girls. The boys may enjoy il until

success in mind that venture to sug-

CLEAR THE STREETS.

Since the City Council has decided
that the old-time stepping stones
should go, it should not neglect other
equally important Improvements in
the streets. At some OF the street
crossings loose boards and stones have
been left just at the curb which are
intended for steps, but only serve
to trip pedestrians. Such marks of
neglect do not increase the strangers

one opinion: that the street commits
sioner is not doing his duty.
Such matters are seemingly small
and unimportant, yet they count much

progress OF the city development. No
obstacles should be left to "trip, no
