The first of November has come and gone and if you are not a voter in the February election for the Editorial staff, why not?
WHILE the Oratorical association meetings attract the attention of the majority of the students, the reports of the meetings and the comments do not occupy the entire space of the TIMES.
THE TIMES is surely the representative paper of K. S. U. when it is read by 475 students. The total circulation at present is 625. To claim the largest circulation of any college paper in the United States is unnecessary.
THE Courier gives an account of Mrs. Junius Suttif's entertainment of her "young friends." Among the list given are found the names of Mesdames, J. D. Bowersock, Dr. Summerfield, J. H. Canfield and Handscomb. The affair was no doubt a complete success, yet we can but smile at speaking of the guests as "young friends."
THE Courier clips a few lines from the Times of Oct. 19, and gives a half column of valuable (?) space to comments upon said article. While the Times may not be decidedly in favor of studying Anglo-Saxon, it does not attempt to entirely dispense with the modern English language and to substitute pet slang phrases instead. The Courier seems either to be waging a merciless war upon the English Language or does not know how to use it.
It might be well to suggest for the benefit of the Courier that instead of giving the regular two columns of advertising to the TIMES, that the addition table be studied in order not to expose the limited amount of education the Courier represents. In reporting the supposed canvass of the male students of the University it states "Number old enough to vote. 86; of these 24 are Democrats, 62 Republicans, 10 Prohibitionists and 1 Union Labor."
ONE of the inducements offered by the University, to the prospective students throughout the State, is a lecture course. We do not wish to enter complaint against our lecture course, but considerable inquiry, and some complaint has been heard upon the subject. Nearly two months have elapsed since the beginning of the term and still we see no notice or a lecture. It is to hoped that the faculty will take immediate action in regard to the matter and that we may attend a lecture in the near future.
MANY of our subscribers from a distance have requested us to send them all the back numbers of the Times. We are not able to do this as our second edition is entirely exhausted. We shall send all of the other back numbers, as long as they hold out.
ONE of the able writers on The Courier, last week made some remarks about the ability of THE TIMES writers. We do not wish to enter into any discussion of the respective ability of the two staffs, but would like to remind the writer of the aforesaid remarks, that he exposed his own lamentable ignorance in literature in the English class some time ago, when asked concerning the authorship of one of Shakespeare's most familiar plays.
THE TIMES has done something phenominal in the history of K. S. U. journalism, something none of its illustrious predecessors have accomplished, that of at once become self-sustaining. With this issue the students paper is one month old. The Times owes no man a cent. The TIMES has a larger subscription list than its rival. We do not like to brag, but we would like to quietly remind some of our friends (?) of their predicttions of one month ago, that the TIMES would succub to the inevitable in less than a month.
LET US HAVE PEACE.
EVERY true friend of the University most deeply deplore the action of the students during the past few weeks, in their scramble for so-called "honors." Doubtless one side is right, and the other is wrong. As a University paper, the Times champions neither side, nor shall attempt to discuss their merits. We only deplore the condition of affairs, which makes such anunbecoming contest possible.
It is not complimentary to our University that its students cannot settle their affairs in a peaceable manner; that all rules are disregarded; that there is occasion for one of its students to be brought up before the courts of justice, upon a criminal charge; that the assistance of the faculty is needed to preserve order in a students meeting. Of course all are not to blame for this, and probably, only a few. But something is wrong. What is it?
We think, that if we reflect but a little upon the past and present, the disease of our "body politic" can be readily diagnosed, and its course at once discussed. Nine times out of ten, these unpleasant conflicts are caused by that miserable, narrow, selfish feeling of cliques and rings. These are the bane of student-life. Their rule we trust, will soon be over.
Every dishonorable contest, that has ever taken place in the University has been caused by a few attempting to dictate to the many. And the consequence has been that many times the worth and fitness have been trampled under foot.
Then it would be impossible for any score of students to attempt to dictate the course of any University organization, in which all are interested.
To avoid this, every student should make of himself a "model" politician." He should take an active part in what is called our University politics. He should see that honors fall on worthy heads, and that the students, who represent K. S. U. shall always be representative students. Then will clique and combination be like into the "sere and yellow leaf," and vox students, vox Universitas.
To bring about this Utaion era o good, faithful and true worth, all organizations, societies, management of papers, etc., should be open to all students interested.
Buldozing would then be useless. No premium would then be offered for dishonor.Books wouldn't have to be doctored,but fair play alone rewarded.The majority can generally be trusted.We make no war upon any fraternity or fraternities,upon any class or clique.But every student should declare war against every combination formed in opposition to the best interests of our University.In every contest,let the will of the major of the students—whether "frat" or "non-frat."high or low classman—be done.And from their decision let there be no appeal.
MOTHER HUBBARD.
'Fore Apolloclimbs the mountains
Shoots his light atgwart the sky,
I would trip among the dales,
Hear the birds nidily.
I would kiss the gittering dew drops
With my gourmets pure and white;
I would flounce my Mother Hubbard
In Aurora's humble light.
If you're waking call me early.
Call me early mother teacher.
I would wear my Mother Hubbard
In the morning bright and clear.
All the birds shall do me homage,
Like a knight on bended icece.
Every insect make obelance—
High or low, on ground or tree.
I can tread the streets in darkness
With 2impunity severe.
For my spectral, ghostly figure
Flows the stoutest heart with fear.
I could make a cat have spasms,
Scare a doggie dood to death;
At the sight of Mother Hubbard
Men themselves will hold their breath
Bless, ob bless the Mother Hubbard
best contriverage ever made;
There is nothing binding 'bout it
it is sober, flowing, stained.
Is old Hermes now a terror
To the Mother Hubbard race?
Do the Sister Hubbards tremble
When he meets them face to face?
Never seems to be so modest. So persuasive or sincerse. When the hither of Mother Hubbard Seeks the head, the eye, or ear.
No, he never makes a canvas
Of the spacious flowing suit,
Never splits his sies with laughter;
When he forms a marquette.
"So if you re waking, call me early. Call me early mother dear." I would wear my Mother Hubbard. In the morning bright and clear.
For Apollo climbs the mountains,
Shoots his dart attempt the sky,
I would trip among the dales,
Hear the binds lullaby.
THE MOTHER HUBBARD.

What is it that the ladies do
When warm spring days are coming on
To walk about upon the lawn?
It is the "Mother Hubbard."
What is it that our sister wears,
When no one comes for whom she cares,
But when its John, runs off up stairs?
It is the "Mother Hubbard."
RAY BROS
What is it that disgusts mankind,
'He' he hates to say what's in his mind.
And makes him wish he'd been born blind?
It's the "Mother Hubbard."
What is it that boys detest,
But, because girls wear 'em do their best
To believe that pattern as good as the rest?
It is the "Mother Hubbard"
What is it makes the trumps retreat,
And on a back-ground take a seat
And overcomes them more than heat?
The sight of a "Mother Hubbard."
Have the freshest stock of
What is that loose old rag I see
That flops like a blanket on a tree,
And is disrussing us can be!
That loose old "Mother Hubbard."

THE confidence and respect held by the students for the Faculty, perhaps was never so clearly demonstrated as in the Oratorical fight we are now having. In most of our neighboring colleges, had the same fight taken place, the Faculty would have hastened to interfere. Any such uninvited interference would of course been resented by the students, and a fight between faculty and students would have taken place. No such event has happened here however. The Faculty held themselves aloof from the matter, until the students, disparing of settling the affair without some outside help, invited several members of the Faculty to help them settle it. This a committee of the Faculty is trying to do, and whether they accomplish a satisfactory settlement or not, the students will feel that the Faculty have endeavored to treat all parties fair, and another hand of friendship will be welded between Faculty and students.
The Athenaeum Literary Society met last Friday evening, and a very interesting program was rendered. Prof. J. A. Canfield's talk on California was greatly enjoyed by all present. This society is fast becoming an important faction in the literary work of the University. A number of new members have been added, and the new students who have joined are not afraid of doing literary work. One week from to-night the society will meet again and a new feature in the program for that evening will be announced in the issue of the TIMES.

What is the matter with a glee club? Various and somewhat successful attempts have been made in the past to secure material sufficient for distinctive K. S. U. songs. The collections with musical adaptations have been published at times in our University papers, but our musical talent has not only not availed itself of the opportunity thus presented for awakening University spirit and patriotism but are not even prepared with the best of Eastern college songs. College songs, so prominent in the east and which are distinctive features of school life, are one of the things which add greatly to ones enjoyment and engender those feelings of love for alma mater during our presence here, and which awaken such pleasant memories in the alumnus. Their influence can not but be beneficial. Besides we often visit the neighboring colleges of the State, and a Glee club, backed by such a University spirit as would result from the above, would be advantageous in many respects. This is something upon which all can unite, it is free from partisanship, it is devoid of faction, and to it we should give our sympathy and enthusiastic support. Let those who possess the ability assume the leadership and direct the work and one of the things of which we may soon be proud will be a University Glee Club and our K. S. U. songs.
We submit the following taken from the last number of the Hesperian without comment:
The Courier from Lawrence puts in its appearance this month. Its columns give evidence of some struggle between barbarian people and the fraternities, but the closest observation has failed to get as into the secret of the Courier's own political platform. Now brehren, this isn't right. You only excite our curiosity by your mystic utterances. The matter is one in which we are considerably interested and you will confer a favor by declaring yourselves in the near future. In this connection we will add that we hope the circumstances when known will indicate a change for the better in the Courier. Isn't it possible for the Kansas State University to raise up another Sullivan? The Courier is indeed in sore need of a successor to that old war horse.
NORHING speaks better for the steady advance of our institution than the fact of the increased interest of her many friends. It is almost daily that we are called upon to chronicle the presentation of valuable gifts to our library and many other departments. Such donations, however small, are most thankfully received and fully appreciated. We only long for the day to dawn when some of our own alumni may be sufficiently favored financially to be able to repay alba mater principal and interest, for the foundation of their success.
At Smith's News Depot, can be found the famous novel on skepticism, entitled "Robert Elsmere," by Mrs. Humphry Ward. This novel can be had in the pocket edition, price 29c.
Sid Riley's barber shop is fixed up in a very attractive manner with plants in the windows.
Coming.
The musical event of the season will be the grand Jubilee concert given by Gilmore's Great Band next Tuesday afternoon. This is the greatest musical organization in the world and needs no press notices to tell people what to expect. The band will give an election day matinee in Lawrence, the sale of seats opening Monday morning. The full evening concert programme will be carried out, including the anvil chorus and the cannon. The music will be grand. Secure seats early.
Orophilian Society.
A good number was in attendance at the last meeting of the society on last Friday evening. Most of the active members were present in addition to many new students and visitors, so that an increased interest is being manifested in literary work and those who permit themselves to be deluded by the assertion that Orophilian is inactive will have occasion in the future to change their misguided opinion.
Many students, new and old, have been induced to unite in regaining for Orophilian the position and reputation once so enviable in K. S. U., and there is good reason to believe that, even if this is not attained, her field of usefulness may be more notable than it has been for two years.
The program rendered was as follows:
Reading...F, C. Schrader
Declaration...M. Morton
Decision...Mr. Culver
Extremanous...M. Morton
Extremorous...M. Morton
The absence of others made the program somewhat incomplete, though the exercises were very creditable. The remainder of the evening was occupied with the regular election of officers and miscellaneous business. The officers elected were President, F. E. Reed; Secretary, Florence Rensoner; Treasurer, G. O. Virtue; Executive committee, Messrs. Bear, Caywood and Miller; Program committee, Messrs. Culver, Wine and Miss Beardsley.
The annual report of the treasurer showed that the society was in a good financial condition. A number of new names were added to the roll of the society. The next regular meeting of Orophilian's will be on Friday evening. Nov. 2nd at 8 o'clock for which a good program is being prepared. New students and others interested are specially invited to attend.
