Prof. Canfield is the first, with a series of "talks" on land and its ownership.

Prof. Canfield will continue next Tuesday.

We clip this item relating to our fellow editor, from the Council Grove Republican: "We had the pleasure of hearing the campaign speech of our young Irish friend, Thomas Doran, of Munkers Creek, at Skiddy, on last Saturday evening. To say it was a fine effort from a young under graduate of the State University at Lawrence, would not do it justice, as it might after all leave the impression that it was of the unfledged Sophomoric style, that is pleasant enough on the college platform, but unsuited to the stern realities of a meeting of voters called together to consider the interests of a great national election. Mr. Doran's speech was earnest, argumentative and logical, and when he addressed his Irish fellow citizens and plead with them to vote for the great party that here and everywhere stands for true manhood and the rights of humanity, his words burned with the fire of genuine eloquence. We congratulate our young friend heartily upon his debut in the field of politics.
