ORATORICAL CONTEST.
Kansas University Chooses Her Representative to the State Contest.
First Place Awarded Mr. Felts.
Wednesday evening the Oratorian association held the university contest to choose an orator to represent Kansas University in the state contest to be held in Ottawa, next month. Mr. Felts was given first, Mr. Davis second, and Mr. Osborne third place. Five contestants took part. Such a large number had been writing for this contest that it was found necessary to hold a preliminary to choose five who should take part in the final University contest.
This preliminary was held on Tuesday evening, nine taking part. The judges for Wednesday evening were Mr. Stanley, of the Central school; Judge Smart, of the District court, and Mr. King, county superintendent of public schools. The following is the order of the program: Christian Dubach, 'The Invincible Shaw'; J. G. Oslo one, 'Lincoln'; C. L. Run id "Causes of American Greatness" Mr. Felts, "Duty versus Destiny"; G. L. Davis, "Election of Laguna." Mr. Felts places Duty as the Ruler of Destiny. "Every one is the designer of his own Destiny" "Destiny is the deification and renaming of Euty." He places men uppermost who attend strictly to duty and lends the hope that all may be successful who have a strong regard for duty.
Mr. Felts a member of the Junior Law Class, comes to K.U. from Missouri, a former student Stanburg Mo. He was formerly a teacher and has taken active part in political campaigns and has taken honors in oratory. The winner of the contest was presented with a twenty dollar gold medal by Mr. A. Weaver. The winner of second place won the prize of five dollars presented by Mr. Rowlands.
The winner of first place at Ottawa will be presented with fifty dollars and will have the honor of representing Kansas in the Inter-State Oratorial Contest.

I went to see Olga Nethersole in "Sapho" last night and I saw most of her. If I had been Sapho's husband I would have bought her a bunch of leaves at the nearest Christmas tree, and taken the first car home. The program said her company's clothes and costumes were made by Worth, Daueret and Redfern, in Paris, France, but it looked to me like nature had made them. Sapho needs to be born again, and next time nature should make a man of her, and then burn up the pattern. Sapho is a Mt. Vesuvius with flames of love, cinders and corruption in her which she can't throw up. She talks and sighs like she has love in her but it looks more like the Devil in her than anything else. She is like an old women who was crying and meaning at the mourners bench when the parson asked her if she had got religion and she said "Oh, I don't know whether it is religion or worms. Sapho alung to her lover, she is a sticking kind of woman, but she is made of a mighty poor kind of glue.
Love made Sapho so crazy that she forgot to marry. Sapho was a pretty swift women, but she was a little to slow about getting married. It did not seem to run in Sapho's family to marry. But in spite of Sapho's bad qualities she never neglected her children. She had a bright little boy who knew something of most everything, excepting his papa, who is in jail. In short, Sapho is a bold, bad women, and people should let her alone and quit running after her
Sapho and her actors on stage seemed like they were trying to move hell, and the audience in the theater looked like first-class passengers on a big, easyriding steamboat direct to the place of the aforesaid and the same.
The first act was a grand fiddle and dance of about seventy-five men and good looking girls, as far as I could see and I could see far enough, who spent their time hopping, jumping, dancing, drinking wine, smoking cigarettes, and hugging. I didn't like the people in this act. I don't believe there was a good sunday school teacher in the bunch.
OLGA NETHERSOLE IN "SAPHO,"
In the next three acts was the work of the beautiful sapho, casting her as deuctive charms and fascinating powers over the young student, Joan Guissin.
In this role Sapho was great. She could make love, shake her frame until responsive chords would return from the captivated student, and leave him lost in the whirlpool of her bewitching influences. Saybo had him hypnotized; she mesmerized him without touching him.
Sapho was a violent love maker, she breathed the moon; she spit on the stars she wore perfumed sachet powders, and at her feet every student dude would bow. No wonder the policemen in New York city arrested Miss Nethersole when she played Sapho there. Any women who entices a student away from his books and studies ought to be put in jail.
Draw this lesson then, young man. Do not sprinkle dark spots upon the white garment of your soul, thinking that at some future time, by some magic touch it can be made white again. God will not perform a miracle for sinning men and women, and what is sown must be reaped, whether the harvest is good or bad.
Sapho led young Jean Guissin from his Garden of Eden and nature raised a flaming sword at its gate so that he could not enter there again.
Miss Nethersole is a great actress, but in her version of Sapho there is no moral. It is immoral. What a power Olga Nethersole would be in a character of noble womanhood in the atmosphere of virtue, faith and pure love,
What a power the stage would be if
all things placed upon it lifted up and
never pulled down! Would it not have
be b tter for this Nethersole and
better for Miss fashionable and well
dressed Washington City audience if
she had taken the role of some chara-
ter like Lygia of Quo Vadis, and shown
us how to live and suffer and die for
truth and righteousness?
What will the stage of the future give us? What we want. Next to the pulpit the stage can be made the most powerful force for good. Let us hope that the public taste will hasten to prepare itself for the enjoyment of productions on the stage which will inspire us to obtain more of life, and love, and heaven here on earth. REUDEN.
