The election of Albert L. Beach, A.B., '05, Republican candidate for mayor of Kansas City, Mo., over Frank H.

Several students who were in Kansas City during the day report that the scouts handled traffic in the most commendable way and that their enforcement of the rules brought shorts to the road from pedestrians and again.
The early returns from North Side wards gave Cromwell a slight lead but the residential precincts, which contain about half of Gavish Beach, a substantial majority.

Prof. C. A. Skilton Gets Reply From William A. White
Letter From Kansas Editor Is Written Regarding Persons in World
of Art
William Allen White, in a recent article, deplored the fact that Kansas had produced no outstanding figures in the world of art, and was challenged 'for his statement by Prof. C. S. Skillon of the School of Fine Arts, who prepared and sent to Mr. White, two lists of Kansas musicians, one of them showing those who are other showing those who are residents of Kansas but were born elsewhere.
Mr. White's reply, on receiving these lists, was made in a letter to D. M. Swarthout, dearest of the School. His answer, in part, is as follows;
11 am tremendously proud of the second list, Residents of Kansas, but Born Elsewhere. The first rate work of those men show that Kansas does appreciate and, I earnestly hope, support musicians of a high rank. Eventually, if we support scholarly musicians who were born elsewhere and not in the state, we will begin to breed and train our new musical artists.
"It has been one of my major sorrows that Kansas is not develop in her artistic nature as she should. We have developed good business men, successful politicians, and competent newspaper men, but of our own, get the jobs they deserve, poet, musician, actor of sculptor, or even the second or third rack.
"I do not know what is the matter. I wish I did. Why don't you take it up with your School of Fine Arts and see if you can find out what is the matter? Compared with the Sindavian countries which represent about the population of Kansas and Nebraska, how much we have done in the last fifty years? I ask to look into Kansas has done. Why is it? Search your school and your soul and tell me why. I ask in earnest penitence to know what is the matter with the Kansas folks."
