as a state is not: Do the best interests of the people demand it? but, will it give us or our opponents two more votes in the Senate? What wonder we see the Senate and the House, irrespective of truth, constantly dividing along party lines in determining questions of pure fact, as in contested elections?
Blind faith in party means irresponsibility, and irresponsibility puts a premium upon lying and deceit. Blind adherence to party shields falsehood, protects bribery, nourishes corruption, and sets a prize upon demagogy. It respects the liar, countenances the thief, and feeds the fires of polluted ambition. It fires the passions, blunts the judgment, and sows the seeds of national decay. It makes friends enemies, and retards the coming of a universal sympathy and co-operation in the upbuilding of good government. It brings weakness, not strength; chaos, not order.
Let, then, the men of liberty- loving America lend not a credulous ear to that philosophy which seeks to raise party fealty above individuality and loyalty to the dictates of one's own sense of right and justice. Let the watchword go forth: I serve party when it serves truth and my country. Then, and not till then, may we hope to raise politics to a plane where they shall cease to be a national reproach, and a perpetual menace to the liberties of the American people.
The State Oratorical Contest is a thing of the past, and Victory once more dwells content within our gates.
The contest, held at Baldwin one week ago to-night, was an interesting one in every respect, the prelude and conclusion, especially. All the colleges which are members of the State Association sent large delegations, which, with numerous visitors and a large number of Baldwin people, packed Centenary Hall to its atmost capacity.
At about 8:30 o'clock the program was opened by music by the Baker band. Several selections were rendered in a very creditable manner. After Chancellor Lippincott had pronounced the invocation, and P. P. Campbell, President of the Inter-State Association, had delivered a short address of welcome, the President of the State Association, Mr. F. A. Wright, of Ottawa, introduced the first crator of the evening.
Mr. Cowell spoke of the "Influence of Religion on the Intellect." His production showed much thought and study, but his delivery, though very pleasant, was somewhat stiff and lacked insufficient force to make it impressive.
Miss Lulu Barnett, of the College of Emporia, was the only lady speaker of the occasion. Her treatment of the subject, "England's Richelieu," exhibited splendid descriptive ability, but could hardly be called argumentative. Her delivery was exceedingly graceful and pleasing, though her voice was scarcely strong enough to be distinctly heard in all parts of the house.
After a vocal solo by Miss Clara Hawes, the third orator, Mr. J. W. D. Anderson, of Baker University, was introduced. His subject was handled very skillfully and his delivery was both easy and forcible.
The representative of the Emporia State Normal School, Mr. O. B. M. McClintock, spoke of "A Continental Republic." His oration was very smoothly written, and while his delivery was slightly mechanical, his gestures were far more graceful than those of any other of the contestants.
Following the organ solo by Prof. Snyder, came "The New Aristocracy," by J. E. E. Errickson, of Washburn College. His oration showed deep and careful thought. His voice was strong and his delivery forcible.
L. A. Stebbins occupied the last place on the program. "Partisanship" was his theme, and "his address showed evidence of careful preparation, and it contained more thought and original ideas than any of the others. His delivery was impressive and entertaining." The most striking features of Mr. Stebbins' delivery are his deliberate and convincing manner, and the skill and force with which he gives expression to sarcasm.
While the judges were making up their decision the audience listened to musical selections by Dan Crew, of Lawrence, Mr. Detwiler and the Mozart Quartette of Ottawa, and especially by the "Cherubs." Prof. Puffer, of Washburn College, also gave a very amusing recitation.
At 11:30 o'clock the judges brought in their decisions, which were as follows:
