you discovers that the rounds of your chair make an excellent foot rest and a musical one, too, if a certain amount of pressure be applied at regular intervals. One of the three girls has finally become interested in a book, it led to all outward appearances, for she leaves it through twice before the long searched-for class color falls out upon her lap.

What is it that is attracting the attention of the girl? A man, to be sure.
You, too, must see this rare specimen. You would like to get a look at his face, but his back being turned, the extremely fashionable collar obstrues the view. At last you are thoroughly disgusted. Disgusted with others, all of us with yourselves are unable to concentrate our mind. The question arises, many people have passed you in the last halfour. You are going to count the next hour and see. When the bell rings, your tally sheet shows a record of one hundred and five people.
Lawrence Gronland on Collectivism.
Allow me to say, in reference to your kind criticisms of my address before the University, that it should be looked upon as the second of a series, the first of which (containing the very explanations you fail to find) had been delivered at Unity church. But I must contess, that indeed, I assumed more sympathy with socialism (or collectivism) in this intellectual center of Kansas than elsewhere. I did think that the having breathed for a couple of years this atmosphere of revolt against the old parties would in a few educated minds have removed the prejudice against Democracy in Industry, have conquered the bias in favor of capitalistic management, and, at least, would have induced a member to become a little acquainted with socialism. A friend of professors, Prof. Platter, of Zurich, Switzerland, who claims to know the American character from the fact, that a number of American students have been his pupils in political economy, warned me on starting out from Washington, that I might not find one generous, cultushastic American youth. "I never protested against this pessimism. Note, however, that by "generous and enthusiastic" he means one who despises money making, who is ready to defy capitalists, if they can be shown now to be inimical to the social welfare. There were such Americans in the Brook Farm; if there now are such among our educated youths, surely, they should be found in Lawrence. Such are absolutely needed. If America is to be regenerated, If not found among the educated, they must be sought among the uneducated. But this is highly to be regretted, for only under the leadership of intelligence will socialism be an unmixed blessing; it may require a century and much blood shed, unless it be introduced under the auspices of the higher intelligence.
But the sure of one thing, socialism is coming, nothing can prevent that. Moreover, since evolution in its last stages is always swift, socialism most likely will be a burning issue in our country by the close of this century. Indeed, our trusts may be said to show, that socialism is here now, for they may be defined as Socialism in action for the private benefit of capitalists. They conclusively show, that private capital, or private management of capital, is becoming a stumbling block to our progress, for the origin of our Trusts is precisely due to this; hence the trust is a natural evolution; hence all legislation against trusts is just as futile as would laws against gravitation. They will develop till by the first decade of next century, when we shall have a hundred millions of people, all industries will be under the control of trusts, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific; then—if not before—collectivism will impose itself as a necessity. Which means that we shall have public management of all industries by the nation in its sphere, by the states in their sphere and by the municipalities in their sphere; or, what is the same thing, every citizen will be a public functionary, all will take part in the administration, each in his place.
We shall have the perfect state, where the interests of all citizens coincide with the interests of the whole. Collectivism will come, because it is democracy in industry, and as such supplementary to democracy in politics. Our country took the first step a century ago, when it changed personal authority politically into impersonal authority, the authority of the laws; we still submit to somebody's personal will in industry—aye, we are more abjectly dependent on the capitalists than any other country; but we shall logically have to take the second step and change dependence on the individual into inter-dependence, or into dependence on the impersonal collectivity. Lastly, collectivism is coming, because Americans are evidently more and more coming to lean towards municipal ownership and nationalization of great public utilities. Even the anti-socialistic single taxers are paying this much tribute to the socialistic spirit. He who will advocate such socialization is at present a good enough socialist for me. When once we get these public enterprises socialized and in good working order with a real civil service—and this is a sine qua non—all our citizens will become so impatient, so voraciously hungry for the extension of collectivism to all other industries, that we shall adopt it with the same swiftness with which Christianity conquered the Roman empire, as soon as Constantine was converted.
The University Glee and Banjo club gave its annual concert in Bowersock's opera house last Friday night. The house was well filled, and the audience listened attentively to the well rendered program. The members were enthusiastically received and many encores were given. Prof. Farrel's whistling made quite a hit, being especially fine in the obligato in "The Nightingale" song. Franklin in his comic parts also won hearty applause.
The Concert.
Mr. Sear's readings were finally executed and took well with his audience.
The violin numbers by Prof. Farell, the "Intermezzo" by the Bjan Club, and the work of the Glee Club throughout, were of high order. K. U. has reason to be proud of her Glee Club, as it is the best she has ever put out.
A Bit of Experience.
At the suggestion of some of the staff of the STUDENTS JOURNAL, I present to its readers a bit of experience in college journalism, which deals directly upon some of the points now under discussion among our students. In my day at Ohio Wesleyan University, there was but one paper published by the students, and that was in the hands of the Senior class. The Juniors sometime during the year elected by ballot their board of editors to serve for one year. This board had exclusive control of the paper and was responsible to the powers that be for its contents.
All factions of the college were represented on this board, and it was usually composed of the best material in the class. (The proposition that this "best material" is usually to be found scattered through all factions is too nearly self-evident to require demonstration.) The paper was not run in the interest of any faction and so was heartily supported by all. All party feeling, however, was not suppressed, for opposite tendencies were often manifest in different departments of the paper. Thus during my Senior year the editorial writer practically immersed the fraternity spirit in boiling oil from, kindly motives, he maintained, because he believed that said spirit before its advent to this cold world had long been accustomed to a warmer clime. The local editor, when occasion demanded would puff his Phi Gamma brethren in the most approved style. The exchange editor had a weakness for Phi Delt news from other colleges, etc. But there were few excesses and all were happy because all were represented.
pay the commencement expenses of the class. Lower classmates gave their willing support because they realized that in time they would be the beneficiaries of the plan.
The profits of enterprise amounted to several hundred dollars and were used to
The Senior class also managed a very popular and successful lecture course; the profits from this course also went into the class treasury. My class found itself at commencement time with more than a thousand dollars in the treasury, and after paying all legitimate class expenses was still able to make a handsome donation to the alumni alieve of the college library.
The moral of this tale is not hard to find.
H. B. NEWSON,
Charles Dickson.
It is very rare that the announcement of any coming attraction causes the wide-spread interest which has been accorded to that of the appearance of Mr. Charles Dickson and his company of players who will again appear at the opera house next Friday evening.
On the occasion of his former visit to this city Mr. Dickson presented Mrs. Pacheco's exercising funny comedyaire "Incog," upon which occasion it scored an unstainable triumph. Next Friday night, Mr. Dickson will produce for the first time his new American Dramatic comedy, "Admitted to the Bar," a play which has been said by those who have seen it to be far superior to "Incog" and well worthy to follow as its successor.

AMUSEMENTS.
THE CHICAGO LADY QUARTETTE.
THE CHICAGO LADY QUARTETTE.
The above organization is announced at the opera house for next Friday evening, Jan. 19th. We elip the following from the Minneapolis, Minn., Tribune:
"It was a very pretty and commendable entertainment that the Chicago Lady Quartette gave at the Lyceum last evening—an entertainment which was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. The spectacle of four young ladies of graceful presence, attired in simple, dove-colored gowns, singing music which everyone could understand was novel and refreshing in itself. There was something home-like and refining in it. Those present felt that they were not to be bored by vocal pyrotechnics. There was an informality and heartiness about everything they did which made the proverbial tediousness of concerts fade out of recollection. The program was a very agreeable one, almost every number being enthusiastically encorDED. The ladies have excellent voices which show careful cultivation."
"Side Tracked" is a roaring comedy, differing from the usual run of comedies in as much as it stands head and shoulders above them and has a plot. The specialties are said to be excellent, especially the dancing of Miss Llewellen
“SIDE TRACKED."
Seats will be placed on sale Saturday morning. Prices as usual.
Next Tuesday evening comes Milton Nobles with his excellent company, in magnificent scenic production of the revived "Phenix." The name Milton Nobles is associated with the "Phenix" just as is that of Joseph Jefferson with "Rip."
MILTON NOBLES.
Dolly Nobies, who was here with Charles Dickson early in the season, is now supporting her brother. The management of the house has prevailed upon Mr. Nobles not to advance the prices, and for the first time this season with the company the prices of the best seats will be less than $1.00. Regular house prices will prevail. Seats on sale Saturday morning.
