Why not call it the Times-Hesperion?
Come again, *Hesperion*. You have the assurance of our most distinguished consideration.
The Washburn Reporter, in that modest manner which is one of its most striking characteristics, expresses a desire to have Topeka selected as the place where all the State oratorical contests shall be held in the future. Why not let them be held at Lawrence?
The Waterville Telegraph has the following to say about one of our old K.S. U. boys: "F.A Stocks, of Blue Rapids, a banker, scholar and gentleman of the first water, has taken his first step in politics, and will make the 48 h district a competent and efficient representative. Mr. Stocks' scholarly attainments will prove of vast benefit to him in his new role of representative, and will win for him place and position among his fellow members of the house. His superior in point of talent and ability has not gone from old Marshall, and will not for time to come.
W. J. Keye, of '84, now editor of the Hutchinson Democrat, thinks that the young men ought to have a show in the incoming national and state administrations, and suggests the following, not forgetting as will
be seen, his old University friends:
"For a place in General Harrison's cabinet, secretary of state or secretary of war, Bion S. Hutchins, of Kingman; for U. S. pension agent, D. O. McCray, editor of Topeka Capital Commonwealth; for collector of internal revenue, Charles Lobdell, Dighton: for U. S. district attorney, E. C. Little, Ness City; for Ben Simpson's job, Charles S. Gleed, Topeka; for register of the Oberlin land office, Columbus Borin, editor of the Oberlin Eye; Kelley, of Scott, for commissioner of the general land office, and clear through the list in this way. What the country wants is young men. The great national heart is bleeding for young men."
The following is a clipping from the Atchison Champion: "In the face of the 80,000 plurality for Gen. Harrison, and against the un-American and heretical doctrine of free trade, it will be in the dim and very distant future before a pronounced free trader is placed at the head of any of the great educational institutions of Kansas. And any attempt on the part of any Board of Regents to place a pronounced free trader at the head of any of our State educational institutions will arouse a storm of indignation which those who contemplate any such action will find it exceedingly difficult to stem. It is humiliating enough to have an officious free trader as a teacher of political economy in the State University without attempting to add insult to injury by covertly plotting to place that same individual in a position of still greater authority. Kansas is squarely on record against free trade and all its friends and advocates."
It is needless to say to the students and those acquainted with the professor mentioned, how unjust is such an attack against a man so well known and of such marked ability.
The readers of the Courier have many reasons to be thankful, to congratulate themselves on favor, received in the past and the flattering prospects for the future. A beneficent providence has, indeed, liberally bestowed her gifts upon them. They may well feel grateful over the fact that the Courier was never in better shape, more firmly established, nor with a brighter future; that its mission was never so fully recognized, nor its efforts so keenly appreciated: for the voice of this year's students swells the grand chorus of the years gone by—"Long live the Courier"
The rea lers of the Courier may be thankful for the gradual subsiding of the enmity and bitterness that characterized some of the contests the early part of the year; and that in the place of the petty jealousies and quarrels there seems to be a more friendly and brotherly spirit shown on all sides.
governor and legislature, a gradual awakening among the liberal-minded men of the State to the increasing demands of an institution destined to take its place among the first universities of the land, give us assurance that our wants will be carefully attended to and ample appropriations secured.
They have abundant reason to rejoice over the condition of the University. All of its departments are better equipped than ever before. The past, at least, is secure. Nor is there reason to fear for its continued growth and usefulness. A friendly
Surely our readers ought to enjoy their vacation with a feeling of good will to all with a spirit of thankfulness for blessings received and prospects of blessings yet to come.
Phi Gamma Delta.
Last Friday evening the members of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity entertained their friends at their hall in the Eldridge House block.

Mr. Street read a paper on "Finance and Industry" He said manufacturers in the South had become fierce competitors on coarse goods, and that climate and coal in the South gave manufacturers in the South an advantage over those in New England. He spoke of the recent growth of
Miss Godell read a well prepared paper on "The Increa-e of Crime in the United States." She said crime of all kinds had been steadily on the increase in the United States, and that the causes which produced this increase were accumulation in large cities, increased activity in all branches of business, and an erroneous system of dealing with criminals.
She suggested the following remedies: Better home life,more attention paid to civil duties by good citizens, and a punishment which should have for its first aim a discipline of character. The paper favored the employment of convict labor,which created a lively discussion,and most of the members were opposed to that view.
The University will not be open on Friday evening, November 30.
A member of the Senior Law Class conducted his first case in court last week. The result was surprising. He brought suit to secure payment of wages due a colored man. He had only one witness, but that witness much to his consternation testified that the defendant had already paid the colored man $3 more than the colored man had brought suit for. The justice, thereupon, awarded judgment against the plaintiff for $3.
The Capital-Commonwealth of last Thursday spoke 'thus of Miss Hutching's singing at the recent concert at Topeka: "In addition to the home talent the programme was completed by the introduction of Miss Josephine Hutchings, of Lawrence, whose fame as a vocalist is not confined to her home city, or to the state of Kansas. Miss Hutchings sings with great charm and with such archness and expression as to give the fullest interpretation to the sentiments of the composer."
The "formerly" University boys are rapidly coming to the front. The last Nation contains a full page article on "Irrigation in the United States," by Stuart O. Henry, for which he received a good round prize. Mr. Henry was a student of K. S. U. from '77 to '79, and was ranked among the brightest.-Lawrence Tribune.
