to be suddenly shot up to the top of a solitary obelisk in lonely and isolated grandeur" says the Kansan. For this once we will condescend to be just as incondite as he; I admit that this is really rather an embarrassing position for an "inoffensive fraternity student" to occupy. But the "inoffensive fraternity man" is such a rare article it is certainly due the populace to have a square look at him.
The fraternity problem is exceedingly knotty and one about which great men talk. It is far from my desire to stir up feeling yet I have my own opinion in the matter and believe it is right and I assure the Kansan the "Barbs" are not all of the pachydermatous species as he evidently believes.
While "Barb" took a decidedly cynical view of "the state of affairs" yet if you divide his statements by two, you about have "the state of affairs" in K. S. U. Class spirit all gone and the good healthful contest between classes, which changes yearly, substituted by a continual wrangle between cliques
It must have been very humiliating for our impartial Courier after making the reply it did to Hesperian, about the Courier's position on fraternities and literary societies, (a friend to both) to then publish such a stinging editorial inlast week's issue on the success (?) of the Literary Club whose members, all except two, are fraternity men,and at the same time pay such a glowing tribute to Adelphic Society which is strictly non-fraternity. I make these statements for the information of those outsiders who don't know what the fraternities at K. S.U. are.
And now lest I should be compared to "Tennyson's brook," will cease—Mr. Editor I thank you.

Do Not Read the Following.
A man or woman who has not the courage and principle to speak openly and above board, is more to be feared than the midnight assassin, and the one who could be guilty of so treacherous a crime that he or she to sacrifice one to carry out some infamous desire which, if accomplished, would place them above a degraded level is worse than Judus. You will sometime hear of another's whispering in the ear of a so-called confident that fellow who is known as I. C. G. is slightly off. Now I don't want you to say anything about this little thing because I don't want to be pulled up before court. Why I wouldn't for the world, I simply think it is horrible," forgetting all the time the nefarious crime committed days gone by, but not appealing to their Maker for a redemption of their polluted soul.
“Well, now you have gone through all this ridiculous collections of prevarications What is there to the stories about I. C. G.? Well, now you said you wouldn't say anything about it so I will tell you.” “Who are you any how? I have heard of you before, but would rather be more informed about your pedigree.” “Well in order that you may be more informed about my pedigree and general bearing would say that I am Aunt Rebecca Cranky.” “Are you married?” “No. Were you ever married!” “Yes.” “Is your husband living?” “No—well yes, that is to say—well he was when last heard from.” “When last heard from!! Why I don't understand you.” “Well, I'll tell you this much about our little episode. He always was a great man to have his clothes in good shape and often when I was out calling I might be longer telling my friends the faults and foibles of my neighbors than I had realized and when I attended to this one needful duty devolved upon me, I have neglected to keep buttons sewed on his pants, in fact I put them on myself and owing to the fact that habits are easily formed, I neglected to return them to the rightful owner, and the habit being formed it is difficult now to exist without them. While the use of I. C. G. will keep up and maintain my physical anatomy it will not keep my clothes mended nor the buttons sewed on my pants”
"Well, I did not intend to keep
you this long listening to me and you may not believe but Mrs. Peggy Blueberage and Uncle Jerry Loafer or Young Sam Guilllysone will tell you the same thing that I have told you. Did you ever hear of any one else that was acquainted with I. C. G?” “Yes, there was Maria Tattler.”“ Yes, well what do you know of her?” “Oh she's all right, to be sure she cannot converse as rapidly as Peggy, but she is better informed.”“ How do you account for that?”“ Well, her friends and informants have less to do and are universal frequenters of all the disreputable resorts.”“ Well, you mean to say that I. C. G. is a guest of such places?”“ No, but there is the place we find the material for black mailers, thieves, burglars, cut throats and slandersers, all of whom are ready tools in the hands of Toliber Slush and his disciples and by a concentrated action, we are always without a doubt able to shake the kingdom of the devil. But I have accomplished the desired effect on I. C. G.”“ No, I can't say that we have.”“ He seems to be too heavily loaded. Guess he uses too pure goods for us. While we have give him up we are determined not to stop until we down some one else. We cannot give up now because we have all to gain and nothing to loose.”“ Well, you have not yet explained to us what object you have in trying to pick to pieces one who attends strictly to his own business.”“ The trouble is just this—I. C. G. does not let us know enough about his affairs—he does not mingle enough with the world, and if there is anyone whom we cordially dislike, it is he who minds his own business and prospers—we want someone of our own cast.”
"No, indeed—did you ever have anything to do with politics? if you have you can imagine how these things are run. The candidate must have managers at each voting place, who must be a man who stands well with the people, furnishing the material for the machinery to be run which must be gathered at all hazards. So we have people who are dressed in the robe and garb of a Christian, sit in the background, but willing to employ without numbers the army of a useless mass of corruption." "You think then if the people were more acquainted with the I. C. G. and used the remedies prescribed that they would become less dyspeptic."
