A new water cooler is to be "seen in the halls." But if you go out doors, the average Kansas January day will cool water with about as much celerity as any thing we have struck yet.
The orations for the local contest are to be handed to the executive committee before January 10. Eleven contestants are reported to have entered and there will probably be more who have not yet spoken.
It strikes us that the faculty would do a wise thing if they excused those taking part in the Oratorical contest from writing at least one of the themes or forensics of the term in which the contest takes place.
So far as we can learn the following have decided to enter the Oratorical contest: Bear, Mushrush, Bowersock, Hadley, Baker, De Ford, Russ and another whose name we have not learned. The contest will doubtless be an interesting one.
The announcement was made that Junior and Senior substituted theses were due Monday. And so they were, but we know a number of the said Juniors and Seniors who will have to slave all the rest of the term making up these abominable nuances.

The most of the orations for the Oratorical contest were written during the holidays. This is unfortunate because, more time for preparation should be taken. But how can it be otherwise when we are crowded with regular work and theses and forensics-piled on top.
During the vacation the Electrical Engineering workshop received a $12.00 Brainard milling machine from Boston which is now set up. These are machines found only in the best machine shops. There are probably not more than two or three in the State of Kansas.

Old room No. 11, rests in peace this year. Old students remember with a smile the stormy scenes that took place in that historic room last year, and wonder how they could have cared to quarrel over such trifles and yet we bet our last dollar that they would do it right over again if the chance turned up.
The University library has received a large consignment of books sent to the state printer for binding. They are gotten up in fine shape. It is considered in fact the best bound set of books the University has yet received from the state printer. For its size our library is wonderfully efficient, being entirely a working library, and containing no useless or trivial matter.
Prof. Sterling, president of the Alumni Association is compiling an alumni catalogue. This will be of great interest to the alumni and friends of the University.
Prof. Blackmar on "Co operation."
The following are extracts from a lecture on "Co-operation," delivered by Prof. Blackmar of the State University, at Riverside, Friday evening, Jan. 3rd. "It is with pleasure that I speak to you this evening on the subject of the Farmers Alliance. I recollect having spent years of my childhood on a Pennsylvania farm. I never regret having spent those days there; they were days of sunshine, of peace, and of plenty; I desire to recall that life for I consider it one of the first occupations among all of the professions that we have in the industrial society of the age. I am also glad to say that I am a member of the State University of one of one of the greatest farming states of this union. It is a great pleasure to meet with the entire industrial society as a great co-operative body in the true sense of the word. Human industry is bound together by the strong ties of cooperation. Co-operation in the true sense of the word means a body of people bound together to work for each other's interest and for the same end; a joint labor. This is the philosophy of all co-operations.
Labor is paid by its own comforts; capital furnishes comforts in great varieties. Labor is essential to improvement. Labor with capital is beneficial to the whole country. Because of the improper adjustment of affairs and disagreement in the distribution of wealth causes hard times among the laboring class, especially the farmers; when that disagreement is regulated we will have wealth and contentment among the laboring class. No more strikes; no more rebellion.
One class of co-operation is called 'coercive' or forced co operation. For instance, every man who is born in this United States takes a position in the industrial army subject to that coercive cooperation. Another class of co-operation is called 'distributive'. For example a body of farmers are wanting cultivators, or other farming impuliments, they send directly to the manufacturer who ships the machine and notifies each man that his machine will arrive on a certain day, and each man is present and unloads his machine from the car to his wagon, thus avoiding the handling of each machine by the so-called, middle-men, who in turn have to have their commission.
Farmers, you are working against a great wrong. Why not fight it? Why not rush upon it in a body and struggle to come out victorious, as the farmers of Iowa and Indiana did against the wire trust? Fight a monopoly with a monoply. They say that down here in Johnson county they have a co-operative store, it has been in existence since 1876, many of you know more about it than I do; it is a very successful operation. it is almost a monoply and other stores. I understand are coming down. I think in 1886 their sales were about $210,000.00, they only had a capital of $43,000.00, and their net profits $144,000.00.
The fourteenth annual meeting of the Kansas Historical Society will be held in the hall of the house of representatives, at Topeka, on Tuesday evening January 21. Election of member to the board of directors will take place and other important business will come up before the meeting. One of the prominent features of the meeting will be an address delivered by Hon. Edward Russell of this city on "The Administration of Governor Thomas Carney."
