Literary Societies that the members are not "spruce enough"—whatever that may mean. Last Saturday evening about forty elite, from among the male portion of the students, secured special apartments in the Opera House and attended "Face to Face" in a body. The boys enjoyed the play immensely they always do—, but they forgot to weep when the reconciliation took place and wildly applauded in the most pathetic part.

His wheel was badly damaged but fortunately Stone escaped with only a bruise. Professor Blackmar has given his class in advanced political economy some excellent practical work in collecting statistics in regard to the extent to which credit is used in the retail trade of this country.

Last Wednesday was McKinley day in Lawrence and the Kansas University Republican club materially aided the celebration. Before 8 o'clock there was a large assemblage of students at the Watkins building and they made the air resound with Rock Chalk and cheers for McKinley. At the appointed time the boys marched down to the Santa Fe'depot keeping time to the splendiferous music of the Kansas University band which headed the procession. There were one hundred and fifty-eight loyal Republicans in line. Gov. McInnisley made a good ten-minute speech, in which he paid particular attention to the students present. The remark which was most applauded was that Kansas University is one of the few universities in the country which teaches the doctrine of protection. After the speech the boys marched up to the University where they disbanded after giving three rousing cheers for Major McKinley, the next President of the United States and for Major Morrell, the next Governor of Kansas. Notice. All Republican students are request to attend the joint debate between the Lawrence republican and populist clubs. Mayor Webater Davis, of Kansas City, Mo., will speak under the auspices of the University Republican Club at the Rink next Wednesday evening. NOTES FROM THE LAW SCHOOL Mr S. A. Riggs is doing admirable work on the law of "Tortes." With a text so comprehensive, a class so large, and time in which to complete the work so limited, he does perfectly right when he keeps some of our valuable would-be brilliant students within the scope of the text, preventing them from discussing abstract theories, or possible exceptions to well founded laws. Mr. Dobson instructs the Senior class in corporations. The first lecture was given Thursday, at 11 a. m. Judge Benson's lectures on Code Pleadings will also be given at the Court House while the District Court is in session here. For two weeks Mr. Dobson will lecture daily at the University. The remainder of the course, equivalent to two full weeks, will be given at the Court House. Mr. Humphrey will soon beg in to instruct the Junior class in Constitutional law. If the subject of contracts is not completed when the lectures begin, work on that subject will be suspended until Mr. Humphrey has completed his course. The Kent Club did not meet Friday evening. A Populist speech by Judge Doster, at the Court House, probably attracted many law students. The program for next Saturday morning will be music; Clarke; speech; Scott; essay, Blake; speech, Woman's Suferrage. "Cann; reply Higgins; music; Morgan; impromptu, Mason, Green. Debate: Resolved, That all property should be assessed at its real value, Affirmative, Holler and Gorrill. Negative, Leonard and Johnson. General discussion." Mr. J. A. Orr visited the Law School Tuesday. Mr. Orr is practicing law and politics at Independence. Dr. Marvin was shown through the library by Prof. Green Wednesday morning. The recitation in Torta Wednesday morning was postponed an hour, the cause being Gov. McKinley's visit to Lawrence. Many of the students went to see him. It is natural that law students should be interested in the interstate debate; despite any suggestion that the debate should be made the means of aiding the Adelphic society or the University Debating club. It is also believed that the "Adelphian's" plan will be impracticable, for under this plan you would get too much politics into these societies, as well as requiring nineteen debates to settle the question of supremacy among eight debaters. The only purpose for which interstate or inter-collegiate debates were instituted was to develop the student's readiness to think and speak extemporaneously. Yet the suggestions that we have heard in the halls and through the University papers presuppose that there will be the same chances for plagiarism in the debate as in the usual oratorical contests; that there will be the same set speech and display of elocutionary accomplishments. These are most assuredly not essentials of debate, no matter how useful they are in an oratorical contest. To get the greatest good from the debate it ought to be known that only extemporaneous debating will be tolerated in the trial debate, even if such is not the rule in the inter-collegiate debate; for a good extemporaneous debater is when he time for preparation. It ought to be ordered also that persons withing their names to a committee of the faculty, and if there are more names than necessary for one debate two can be arranged, that the questions for the trial debate be selected by the faculty committee; that the names of the debaters and the questions be announced at least one month before the trial debate occurs; that the side each debater is to take be determined by lot, and announced only twenty-four hours before the debate occurs, that no more than ten or fifteen minutes be allowed each debater; that the same judges hear all the debates if there be more than one, and that the three best debaters, irrespective of the side they are debating, be selected. When these conditions are laid down—if they or any of them ever becomes a law—there will be fewer politicians and more solid workers interested in a cause in which the reputation of the University is concerned. --- .
