GOV. HUMPHREY.
When the polls were closed Tuesday evening the votes had been cast which said that Lyman U. Humphrey, of Independence, should sit in the executive chair of Kansas for the next two years. His election should be a source of gratification to all friends not only of K. S. U. but of higher education everywhere. A college-bred man himself; cultured, brave and progressive, no one can doubt, but that he will be an honor to the State. He comes to his office not through the efforts of any class or clique but as a man upon his manhood. He will be a living refutation of the popular prejudice that college men are weak, unstable and impracticable. He stands in Kansas to-day as a witness that a college education trains and strengthens and that worth and manhood, not circumstance and political trickery, win the laurels in Kansas Gov. Humphrey is, perhaps, one of the best symbols of the intelligence and integrity of the State; for what better indicates the sentiment of a community than the charactet of those whom it delights to honor; its representative men.
The University, too, may re joice at Mr. Humphrey's election. He is our friend, and while the gover nor may have little official business with us and scarcely any hand in the conduct of our affairs still to count him as a "friend of the University" means a great deal; for as an enemy he could do us every possible damage. To the writer this summer Gov. Humphrey expressed the greatest admiration for the institution and the kindest regards for its interests. He inquired about our work and spoke of the remarkably prominent part our alum ni were playing in the State. He mentioned Chas, and Willis Gleed, Δ. C. and Chas. F. Scott, Bion Hutchins, Stocks. Leach, Little, and many others who had come under his notice and said many pleasant things of all of them. The University never had a better friend in the executive chair than Lyman U. Humphrey.
A NEW IDEA.
The Times is glad to submit the following from the Atlantic monthly upon the subject of economy in college work. The article is an extract from a very interesting paper by John Trowbridge in the November Atlantic and contains many things which K. S. U. students should think of.
"Some years ago a one-study college was established west of the Mississippi. Its cardinal principal consisted in taking one subject at a time, and in finishing it before taking up another. We are tempted, living in the shade of an old university, to laugh at his experiment in education, and to point to the experience of many hundred years in universities older than ours as a reason for not following in the track of the one-study college. There is a germ of truth, however, in our experience of actual results of the system now prevalent in our high schools and colleges do not inspire confidence in it.
"It is rare to find a college student who can read a German work on physical science, although he may have taken several German electives during his college course. If the same student had been three months in a German town, he would have been able to make himself understood, to understand others, and to read a German newspaper. It is true that in the latter case he is in a German country, and conditions are favorable for his getting a command of the language; but he will tell you that his success comes from breathing and eating in a German atmosphere. There is not a moment in the day in which he has been reminded of a German man. He has become an intense specialist in German; moreover, he can depend upon the atmosphere of his environment, but he must supplement it by assiduous study with a competent teacher. Now if the same man had taken up his residence in a frontier town where German is spoken on one side of a river and French on the other, and had undertaken to gain a working knowledge of both languages at the same time in three months or even in a year, we all know how lamentable his failure would have been. It may be said that a University does not propose to give a man a working knowledge of any subject; it merely opens the book of knowledge and shows what there is in it, and how delightful it would be to gain at some future time a sound knowledge of the various subjects there presented."
The excellent manner in which the young ladies are keeping their "pledge" to not rush nor spike until December, deserves the commendation of the students new and old and even of the faculty. The shameless premature rushing of some of the gentlemen's fraternity has been noticed by all and regretted even by those who have been caught by it. No man will regret two or three months of careful consideration before choosing his associates for his college career. The traternity question is not all one sided and by giving the new student time to consider first whether she had best join any fraternity or not and second to make a wise choice and be wisely chosen—in doing this the ladies have taken a step in advance and their brothers can do no better than follow.
THE TIMES has an apology to make its patrons for the amount of space devoted in its last week's edition to the Courier. The apology comes freely and honestly and if we may be allowed to add an explanation—which like all explanations may be superfluous, we will say that the fact of the editor's outside duties having taken his time and attention from the paper each of the associates thought he would make one—just one—reference to the Courier and thus the duplicates came in and were not cut out. The TIMES is a newspuper par excellence and factional fights and editorial sparing have no interest for the general readers so they will be hereafter omitted.
AMONG those who have been sent up to the Legislature from the State this year by the people, probably no one will come up with a kindler feeling than Hon. T. B. Murdock, of Eldorado, who represents Butler county in the Senate. Mr. Murdock is a newspaper man who has a State reputation, as a clear, foreville writer with views of his own and manliness enough to defend them. He is a Republican clear to the bone and hence is a friend to all progress, and will always be found upon the right side of every question relative to the advance of higher education in Kausas. The State University will have no better friend in the upper house than Mr. Murdock.
THE election of Col. J. K. Rankin to the House of Representatives, Tuesday, gives K. S. U. another reason to be pleased with the "way things went." Mr. Rankin being a citizen of Lawrence, knows the wants of our institution and having an extended acquaintance among the public men of the State, will have influence in being able to secure measures which will supply their wants. K. S. U. Republicans did well in mustering out their forces for Mr. Rankin.

THE prominence taken by the University representative at the recent meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science at Leavenworth speaks well for our standing in the west. Our Professors were greeted with better audiences and closer attention than were those from any other institution.

Joiut Discussion.
A. O. U. W. hall was crowded to its fullest capacity last Saturday evening to hear the joint discussion between K. S. U. Republican Club and the Tariff Reform Club.
President Horton called the meeting to order and announced the question for discussion.
Resolved, That the protective tariff does not benefit the American farmer. It was ably argued on both sides, and many good points made. The affirmative being supported by G. W. Harrington and L. A. Stebbins. The Negative by F. E. Reed and E. E. Squires.
The argument for the affirmative was that the tariff increases the price of every thing the farmer consumes, while it does not increase the price of anything he has to sell. That he has to compete with other laborers in the market of the world and receives no protection.
The negative claimed that while it might somewhat increase the price of articles he consumed, a protective tariff furnished him a home market for his produce, and lessened his competition.
The Political Science Club had a very successful meeting last Friday evening, quite a number of visitors and the majority of the members of the club were present. J. O. Worden opened the program with an interesting account of the affairs and happenings of our State, both in politics and in finance. S. A. Harvey presented a well prepared paper on Finance and Industry. Prof. J. H. Canfield made a few remarks on Foreign Events and Diplomacy. He read the Lord Sackville-wave communication and discussed their bearing on and relations with the national government. A L. Burney won a reputation as a student of the Tariff question by the excellent manner in which he presented to the club the results of The Australian Tariff Experiment. Miss Reasoner favored the club with an excellent and pointed paper on Manual Training in Public Schools. F. C. Schroeder closed the program with a brief but pitty discussion of Railroads in their Business Relations. The work of the club is increasing in interest and the club bids fair to surpass its record of last year. All persons interested in Political
The discussion was interesting through out, and enjoyed by all present.

W. R. Cone, everybody at K.S. U. knows Cone, was elected County Superintendent of Coffee county last Tuesday on the Republican ticket by a large majority. He ran ahead of his ticket by about 150 votes. The people of that county seem to reward a well qualified young man and K.S. U. is the place to come to qualify yourself for any position. Mr. Cone spent five years at the University, graduating last June with no very high honors as a student but he had the reputation of being a "rustler" and a man who was able to look out for himself. He earned his way through the University by doing janitor work and by economical living, got along fairly well. This is only one among many of the instances of where the boys that did not have "papa's bank" to call on, are coming to the front." The Times extends congratulations to W. R. Cone and wishes him success. "I told you so."
The Oratorical Association hold and informal meeting to-day at 2 o'clock in Professor Canfield's room. Professors Canfield and Marsh of the arbitration committee were present and presented several plans of arbitration. Both factions declared themselves in favor of arbitration, but could not mutually settle on the manner of procedure. After a prolonged discussion of several methods of procedure for the arbitration committee, the meeting adjourned until 2 p.m., to-day.

Kansas Alpha Phi Delta Theta held a jollification meeting in their rooms last evening over the election of Gen. Harrison to the Presidency of the United States. General Harrison is a member of that fraternity and the boys are very happy over his election. They appeared in the halls this morning with Harrison badges gracefully wrapped in the fraternity colors. They sent the following telegram to the President elect:
Kansas sends you 70,000 majority and Kansas Alpha Phi Delta Theta sends you its hearty congratulations.

The exchange column is a success in bringing colleges and college papers into closer relations, though only editors read it, yet it should contain matter of interest to the students at home as well as elsewhere, and thus have a tendency to draw the students of the various colleges near to each other —Westminster Review.
The Washburn Reporter, of September 21, has an article discussing whether or not the student does not often spend too much time on matters outside of his studies. Though argued on a different line of thought, it contains the same principles that we have in our last two issues upheld.—Pacific Pharos.

A RUBEUF.
A rustle seat,
A cool retracts,
Down where a brooklet flows,
A maiden fair,
With pensive air.
Quite often to it goes.
I spy her there
At an altar.
Thinking my fate quite sealed,
I venture on
Where she has gone.
To boldness she may yield.
Presume to kiss
The dainty miss?
At least it is no harm.
A haughty glance
Check< my advance.
And I remember that I have an applutin at with a gentleman at the hotel for its very moment.

"How are you getting along with the experimental farm?" asked a member of the board of regents of a western agricultural college of the president of the institution. "First-rate," replied the president. "Wheat all billed up and calves taught to drink sour milk. I'm having trouble with some of the students, however. They claim that it is too hard work for them to dig the great holes necessary in planting pumpkins." "Fire'em out, professor, fire'em out!" returned the regent. "If they kick on that, what will they do next fall when they have to dig the pumpkins, with fifteen or twenty to a hill."—Hesperian.

Campfield had a little class,
(and they were green, I guess).
For every point the Prof, would make
The poor things answered Yes.
And when he'd got them hard and fast:
He'd say it wasn't as good.
And then it wouldn't cry
Of course; we meant no Answer.

The Professor w's stationed on third floor of the Eldridge House with a magic lantern and transmitted the figures across the street on a canvass, put up on the Journal building. A very large crowd soon assembled in the street below and made sweet music when the returns were favorable.
