EDITOR: I was glad to read your editorial on the oratorical contest. It was right to the point. We ought either to do enough in oratory to win a contest occasionally or drop out of the league. It is undoubtedly true that the majority of our students are more interested in writing scientific essays on special topics connected with their work than in appearing before an audience and winning it over to their way of thinking. And in this regard we are probably more in line with modern scholarship than the colleges where future preachers abound. But we have some future preachers among us, a good many future lawyers and as many more future teachers who will some day find it to their advantage to be able to stand before an audience and tell them clearly and boldly and effectively what they want done. Are there enough of such men and women among us to make it worth while to join in oratorical contests with other institutions? Will oratorical contests make such men and women better public speakers? Can they do their regular University work and practice oratory at the same time? If so, I hope they will do it as far as they can and help to raise us to the position in oratory that we hold in debating. If not, let us withdraw from the league and keep out of it until we show some interest and ability and find time to train ourselves inpublic speaking. Yours truly, A: W. Wilcox. Mr. Robert M. Hamer law '93 is being boomed a little by the Star for governor of Kansas in 1902. Hamer has risen to an enviable position among Emporia statesmen and is going to be a big man in a few years. But Emporia and Lyon counties are holding so many important offices now and there are so many older men that Will White is led to remark that Hamer is a sapling now and that he should not be cut down, he must wait till he gets bark on him before he runs for governor. The Gazette is for Hamer, however, when he wants the job. Bob Hamer for Governor. A. J. MOAK, Hack calls promptly attended to. *Phone, 148*, LA WRENCE, KAM GEO. F. GODDING.

General Grosvenor has personally known all the Presidents since the time of James Buchanan. The General's book will therefore contain history which has served his own personal observations of these great men. General Grosvenor has served in Congress for nearly twenty years, and he has serviced his country in war and in Congress twenty-four large Photogravure Etchings as fine as Steel plates printed by hand, on heavy plate paper made especially to order.
