RIDDLE THE WINNER.
Will Hall Riddle Ranks First in the Oratorical Contest.
Will Hall Riddle, class of 33, will represent K. U. in the state oratorical contest at Topcka the 17th of February.
The local contest held in University Hall Tuesday night was well attended; in fact it was the largest audience ever gathered at a local contest. Every speaker had his partitions and all were expectant and anxious until the decisions of the judges determined the winning orator.
After the usual preliminary exercises President Albert Fullerton announced Frank A. Lutz of Beloit, as the first speaker. He spoke of "The Triumph of Higher Motives." The idea conveyed was that the time was rapidly coming when might would be succeeded by right and the fittest would survive.
Fred McKinnon of Arkansas City, was the third orator and spoke on "The Voice of Humanity." His oration was well thought of by the audience. His delivery was easy and unaffected. Mr. McKinnon is a new man in oratorical circles.
Charles Lease was second and in a splendidly delivered oration told of "The Jewish Race." Mr. Lease was perfectly at home on the rostrum and has a magnificent voice. He is but 18 years old and has the necessary qualifications of a first class orator.
"The Future of Monarchy" was the subject of Thomas D. Bennett's oration. Mr. Bennett was the most natural speaker of the evening and many thought he was entitled to first place. Mr. Bennett was awarded first place on delivery.
Hall Riddle, the winner, was the next speaker. His oration was "The University of Common Sense." It was a plea for true education. Do not wish to return to your maker for a reendowment, but submit your capabilities to a full discipline. In physical training we seek to increase the strength of the body, and so in mental training we wish to increase the strength of mind. It is not considered that the mere amassing of knowledge is the true aim of the student. Not to know all but to be somebody is true education. When man's powers are so trained as to render him efficient service then he is educated. The so-called self-made man who has in the school of common sense trained the qualities of his mind that need development, is better educated than the mere holder of a diploma from some standard institution of learning. Education whether in school or not is only attained by hard study. What a man does is what a man is. God has placed man on earth to grow but growth is not imitation of other men. Mr. Riddle's delivery was a little strained but otherwise was of a high order.
The last speech by Thornton Cook, of Herrington, on the "Struggle for Liberty," was marred by two unfortunate breaks in delivery, but he ranked high in thought and composition.
Will Hall Riddle is a resident of Law rence, a member of the senior class and is regarded as a hard conscientious student. He was in the contest last year He is a prominent member of the Sigma Chi fraternity and is popular in all University circles.
The Glee and Banjo club, Ed Young in his wonderful banjo playing, and Miss
Thornton Cook, who won second place, is also a member of the senior class and belongs to the Phi Delta fraternity. He received three ones on thought and composition. Lutz was given third place. Bennett fourth, Lease fifth and McKinnon sixth.
Juliet Tissworth assisted in the very acceptable musical program of the evening.
Below is given the markings of the judges for the different contestants. The judges on thought and composition are Russell, Woodward and Riggs and it will be seen Mr. Woodward has two columns of figures; the first is the grade on thought and research and the second on composition. The other figures are self-explanatory:

At Kansas City.
A meeting of the committee on reception of the K. S. U. Glee club, which goes to Kansas City next Friday afternoon at 4:30 p.m., was held Saturday afternoon.

The final arrangements for the reception which will be given the club at the Midland hotel after the performance at the auditorium, will be made at the regular monthly meeting of the local association next Wednesday evening. An interesting program has been prepared for this meeting including addresses by Hon Noble Prentis, Superintendent Greenwood, and music by a quartette from the University Glee Club, which will come down especially for the occasion. E E. Keys will give a recitation and there will be other interesting features on the program.
Mr.J. G. Wine, president of the State Oratorical association, and Henry Fuegenbaum, secretary and treasurer, were in Topeka last Saturday to make arrangements for the state contest that will be held there on February 17. Seats were apportioned and the Kansas University delegation has the entire center section of the balcony and enough seats in the right section of the parquet to make 225 seats. These are as good places as there are in the house and the Lawrence boys will make themselves seen and heard from them. The committee also made arrangements so that there will be no tn horns or other hideous noise making instruments allowed inside the opera house and the police have been instructed to put out all persons using these things inside. All the colleges except Baker have agreed that this is the proper thing, and her delegate promised he would all possible to bring about this feeling at his school. This action will be heartily appreciated by all attending the contest.
Professors Williston and Haworth in charge of the mining exhibit at the world's fair have their work well inaugurated, and will present an exhibit of the economic geology of the state that will be extensive and beautiful and will expose undeveloped wealth in the state in a way that will surprise our own citizens and attract investments.
