Weekly Politics
Let us figure on your
NO.16.
Great Struggle Ended in Compromise—Fight for Editor-in-Chief.
The compromise of Thursday practically ends what promised to be one of the most hotly and most vigorously contested WEEKLY elections of years. The action of the advisory committee in postponing this election two weeks and thus throwing the struggle into the week of examinations effectually dampened the ardor of both factions and eventually led up to the compromise mentioned above.
The political activities of our college life present a field of unusual interest. Those who devote little time or attention to the management of student enterprises, would be greatly surprised to learn of the absolute system to which the distribution of patronage has been reduced. The plan of campaign, the shrewd devices for political unity and augmentation of forces, the methods of procedure and system of canvass, are all phases of engrossing interest.
The late struggle for the control of the WEEKLY had its inception shrouded in mystery and vague uncertainty. To begin with there were grave doubts of any contest at all. The heat of hatred was still intense from the athletic election of the fall. The adherents of the Lost Cause would utilize this lost opportunity to retrieve their past defeats. Independence of candi lace would be impossible and the election meant a bitter factional fight with all the fury of a feud. Truly it was to be a "Battle of the Strong." Discouragement was apparent among the ranks of Victory's Chosen. Many evenings devoted to careful deliberation were necessary to decide this conservative faction to fight. Their prudence was justified by later results.
The time and place of meeting of either side were matters of strict secrecy. The loyalty of every member must be assured before admittance to this council is granted. Dark streets and narrow alleys are traveled to reach these rendezvous and the air of suspicion is serupulously avoided. In these assemblages are to be found the grafters of high estate or lowly walks in life. Here is to be exhibited throughout the evening's entertainment the evasiveness of a Fabius, the statesmanship of a

staine, the foresightedness of a Caesar, the eloquence of a Cicero and often the stubbornness of a Satan. Immediately after the decision to fight in this instance, the slate of candidates had to be determined upon. Naturally a cunning diplomacy prevailed in this selection. The demands of every class and clique of student society must be carefully considered and their relative importance duly recognized. Following this came the allotment of the field for personal canvass and the apportionment of workers whose influence would avail especially therein.

Kansas Day.
The halls for the past week have been veritable bee hives of activity. Interesting scenes and situations have ensued. Here could be found the hungry candidate waiting with wary eye to pounce upon any tempting, unprotected vote; here the coworkers worming their way through the jam, winking significantly at this one, smiling blandly at that, or nodding with judicious attention to another. Here earnest groups might be clustered around some disciple of the true faith, only to be caught up a few moments later by some proselyting Gentile. Conscious victory and impending defeat stalked every villain. Friend turned foe, and foe became ally. Hearttrending scenes were witnessed every morning when some old acquaintance, oblivious of former romps or old associations, in loyalty to his seruples or devotion to policy, would leave the house of his father, turn his back to the east and boldly identify himself with the enemy's cause
On the whole we must commend in this instance the idea of a compromise. Coming as the contest does during the week of finals, meant disastrous results to grades. School work should take precedence to politics. Political zeal or factional fanaticism should not supersede the real purpose of our presence in this school.
On January twenty-ninth, the day on which Kansas was admitted to the Union, the University will celebrate, thus following the advice of Governor Stanley. There will be at least an hour devoted to speeches on President McKinley and Kansas. There may be some speakers from away, but that, as yet, is undecided.

Ode to the Kaw.
Oh silent Kaw, as in and out
Glides ever thy silver strand,
Tell us the story of thy flow
Through our fair prairie land.
Who carved thy channel through the hills
Or marked thy path across the plain?
Who gathered up the brooks and rills
That fill thy banks from every rain?
Who carpeted the rolling green,
And shaped it for thy water-shed.
Planted the forests on thy stream;
Or strewed the sands along thy bed?
Whose land would we hide?
Watched the swift rippling of thy waves,
And listened for her lover's call
Returning with victorious braves,
While war cries from surrounding hills.
With echong chait each valley fills?
It was, may haap, in times of peace,
He came returning from the chase,
Laden with heavy back or roe,
Into her tent, from fields of snow.
Tell us the tale of how they wed,
Of what they did and what they said.
The songs they sang, the part each played
When festive dance their nuptials made.
 tell us of when the white man's foot
First pressed the soil, and tore the root
From grassy turf and bush and tree.
To make for him a home by thee,
How from rude tent or hut of sod.
He worshiped there the white man's God,
Ere to bis waiting solitude,
Thrill to grow in woodland.
Were flashed across the ready wire,
By distant friends with pens of fire;
Or rushing train, propelled by steam,
Had jarred thy banks with horrid scream
or church, or school, or neighborhood,
Had blessed him with their common good
Tell us we ask the once again
The what, the how, the where, the when,
Of things that happened long ago
As told the inine onward flow.

Literary Societies.
The members of the History club were favored Saturday morning with an interesting address by Prof. Adams. The topic was the meeting of the American Historical association held at Washington, D.C., during the holidays.
At the X Y Z club Morscher gave an extempore. The society was favored with a story by Logan. The question "that all manufactured goods controlled by trusts be placed on the free list," was affirmed by Ayers and Stuessi, while Metcalf and Ashbaugh represented the negative.
The Burke held a general contest to choose two men to represent them in the Missouri preliminary. All members who did not take part in the contest were invited to give their personal views on the question—the one chosen for the Kansas-Missouri debate. Gardner and H. M. Langworthy were elected to represent the society.
Among the interesting events on the program for the Snow tonight is an original story by McCarthy; talk, "My Summer Experience," Hindman, and a paper by Miss Myers on "Why I Came to K. U." Davis will deliver an oration and McMath will lead the parliamentary drill. Rose and Miss Forest were opposed by Delano and Miss Herrington in a debate on the question: "Resolved, That the 15th amendment to the constitution of the United States has been justifiable."
At the Adelphic last night, Castan led off with a reading, Benest followed with an extempore. Tolan gave a talk on
"How to approach people friendly without being hypocritical." Mitchell, Anderson and Sims championed the affirmative opposed by Whitla, Mowry and Cuerton, in debate on the question: "Resolved, That we should meet the colored man in business, education and religious relations as our social equals." Parliamentary drill was led by Grant.
