OUR POLICY.
In an address before the Wisconsin Editorial Association, Chas. A. Dana, of the New York Sun, set fourth some of the most important rules for the government of journalistic work. They were as follows:
First.—Get the news, and all the news,
and nothing but the news.
Third. — Never print an interview without the knowledge and consent of the party interviewed.
second.—Copy nothing from another publication without perfect credit.
Fourth. —Never print a paid advertisement as news matter. Let every advertisement appear as an advertisement. No sailing under false colors.
Fifth. —Never attack the weak and defenseless, either by argument, by invective or by ridicule, unless there is some absolute public necessity for so doing.
Sixth.—Fight for your own opinions, but do not believe they contain the whole truth or the only truth.
Seventh—Support your party, if you have one, but do not think all the good men are in it, and all the bad ones outside of it.
Eighth.—Above all, know and believe that humanity is advancing, and that there is progress in human life and human affairs, and that, as sure as God lives, the future will be greater and better than the present or past.
As nearly as is practicable the TIMES will endeavor to adhere strictly to these rules as a basis upon which to support and upbuild a thorough going, impartial University paper. Fully trusting in a fair and just public sentiment for an impartial verdict on respective merit, we, in pursuance of rule number five, (5.) will refrain from severe or violent criticism of those of our rivals or contemporaries, individuals or factions, who may come within the classes prescribed.
MISS WATSON,'our efficient librarian, is laboring earnestly to so index the books of reference in the library as to greatly aid the students in their work.
"IAM glad you have started a new paper up on the hill," said a prominent business man to a TIMES editor the other day, "We like to have a paper to advertise in, that all the students take an interest in." That is just the idea too. It is a matter of pure business to the merchants to desire the success of the TIMES. They know that unless we have a students paper they will not catch the students trade by their "ads."

A DEFLORABLE OCCURRENCE.
The Democrats held a rally at Baldwin Monday night, of this week. A special to the Kansas City Times of Tuesday morning reads as follows:
"To night the hoodium element from the University, reinforced by the same element from the town, made an attack on the Democrats in the procession insulting them with vile epithets and finally throwing rocks into the moving columns. One shot was also fired from the crowd into the procession. Henry Moody, one of the postoffice boys at this place, was struck in the face with a rock and seriously injured, and John Sugers, Mr. Boutelle, A. Nelson and quite a number more were hit by flying stones. While the town hoodium took part in the mob the attack was led by the students from the University and certainly does not speak well for the training given at that institution."
Students all over the State must deplore the actions of the Baker students. Actions such as these have lead people to class all students of colleges as lawless. While the majority of students at Baker may not endorse such actions, yet the atmosphere which prevents that institution must be narrow and partisan in the extreme, to have such action possible. We should congratulate ourselves that no such charge of lawlessness has ever been laid at the doors of K.S. U. The fairness with which all questions are discussed here, and the broad spirit which precedes the institution, prevents the possibility of any such exhibition ever being made by the students of this University. We should recommend the Baker students to study their Bible once in awhile, and follow the teachings therein incubated. The K.S. University may be called an "infide" school" but it does not tolerate such an exhibition as was made at Baker Monday evening.
THE TIMES is to be a paper for the students of the Kansas State University. If there was any possible chance to doubt this before the paper appeared, it is now gone. The action of the company in giving all student subscribers a voice in choosing the editors, makes it simply impossible for the TIMES to drift into the hands of any clique or faction. With 400 subscribers among the students, such of whom has a vote in electing the editor the TIMES will, indeed be the ideal college paper.
In last week's TIMES, the statement was made that the Courier stock was "boundless," it should have read "value- less."
The faculty of the University at the regular meeting last Thursday evening took a longstep in advance. Hereafter the University will be open every Friday evening from half past seven till ten o'clock.
This action became necessary because of the large amount of independent work done by both the faculty and the students outside of that strictly required by the curriculum. Associations of those desiring to pursue special investigation have multiplied, till it has resulted in the necessity of action such as that to which reference is now made. An effort has been made to hold the meetings of these various organizations on Friday afternoon, but much of the work of the University now falls on that afternoon, and the last year was one of constant friction. The result was that the literary societies found it hard work to exist at all, and even the most enthusiastic associations began to realize that some change must come or it would only be a question of time before they must yield to the pressure of divided interest.
The action of the faculty "clears the entire field at a single stroke. The reading room, library and classical museum will be open every Friday evening for the free use of all students. This week the Athenaeum society, the Kent Club, the Art Club, and the Science Club will meet. On the next Friday evening, the 19th, the Orophilian Society, the Philological Club, and the Political Science Club will meet. Meetings will be held alternate weeks thereafter. This arrangement gives the literary societies ample time in which to prepare thoroughly good programs—and many of their best members have long felt that meeting every week was scarcely advisable—and will also give members a chance to visit the other societies without neglecting their own. Moreover, a student can thus belong to one literary society and to one other association, which is about all the outside work that can be carried. Under any other arrangement students must drop either the literary society or the outside work done in the special organizations.
The other clubs alternating will enable those who do not belong to either of the literary societies to belong to two clubs, and thus broaden their work.
In addition the Faculty will light and warm a room for the students of any department for special meetings connected with the work of the department—provided it is not to be required work. This provision marks the activity of the faculty. It is not often, we imagine, that it is found necessary to restrict instructors lest they do too much.
Under this arrangement will come the Shakespeare readings by Prof. Marsh, and the reading of some Greek plays by Profs. Wilcox and Marsh. We understand that other members of the Faculty have special work of this kind in preparation. To those who know what delight is taken by Harvard students in "evening readings," this feature of University life is full of promise.
The opening of the library for reference to all students one evening of the week is also a great gain. We predict that Friday night will become the most enjoyable of the entire week to all concerned.
The Faculty are certainly to be congratulated on seeing their way clear to such an extension and quickening of all University influences.
We understand that while these meetings are not intended as public meetings, all who may be interested in the subjects discussed will be welcomed.
The editors and business managers of the TIMES, of course expect a hearty welcome from the students and business men, but the unprecedented popularity of the movements has surprised even them. "I want to subscribe for the TIMES. This is the sort of thing I have been wanting to see for a long time." These and like expressions are heard on all sides. The organization of the TIMES company is, indeed, a move in the right direction. □ It means that the grand mass of students are to own and control a students paper, once more. It recalls the good old days of five or six years ago when we used to have one hundred and fifty to two hundred students assembled to elect a board
of editors on our college weekly, when we had a real students paper.
The action of the faculty in opening the University for evening meetings of the societies, is highly commendable. The indications are now, that it will give a great impus to society work in the University. The meetings of the societies will be less frequent than formerly, but this will only serve to raise the standard of the work done. Then, too, the town people can attend, which will insure the societies good audiences, and this in turn, will be a great incentive to good work.
ONE of the most conspicuous examples of what honest strife and hard work will do for a young man is to be found in the career of W. H. Brown, who was graduated from the University in the class of 88. Mr. Brown entered the University in the fall of 1885, a poor boy without money or friends, but he worked hard, and by hard toil, both of mind and body, paid his own way through college, and at the same time established such a reputation that as soon as he was graduated, he received a position in the Smithsonian Institute in Washington at a salary of $900 a year, but not content with this, he is at present, not only earning his salary but attending the Georgetown Medical College at the same time. Such industry will always win.
"I was a little shy of this new paper scheme when I first heard of it," said a prominent "Barb" the other day. "I was afraid it was only going to be another 'frat' paper, but now I see my mistake. It will be impossible for any one 'frat' or number of 'frats' to control the paper, when the editors are elected by the subscribers."
Laws.
A poll of the Law classes showed their political complexion to be as follows: Seniors, 11 Republicans, 6 Democrats and 1 undecided; Juniors, 13 Republicans, 7 Democrats and 1 Prohibitionist.
C. S. Crane has been unable to attend the Junior recitations this week, on account of sickness.
Sam Harburger was in KansasCity over Sunday.
Bruno Hobbs has been visiting at his home during the week.
The Junior Moot Court will not hold its first session till the class takes up Domestic relations, some two weeks hence.
Juffrey, of the Junior class, was visiting in Chassus county, part of the week.
A. C. Coughey is the youngest member of the Junior class.
W. L. McClinton is the youngest member of the Senior class.
G. W. Harrington does the local work on the Lawrence Daily Democrat, besides keeping up his law work.
The first cases were taken up in the Senior Moot Court on Monday. The boys got pretty well'tangled' up on some points, but Judge Green says they did well for the first time.
Judge Summerfield has instructed all the Junior boys to each have a full set of papers prepared to submit to him for inspection,on next Monday, in an attachment case.
The exercise in Parliamentary Law is the most attractive feature of the Kent club usually.
The Political Science Club meets next Friday at the University, at 7:30 p.m. The following program will be rendered:
United States Senate. E. Martidale.
United States House, F. C. Schraeder.
Finance and Industry, J. A. Mushrush.
Foreign Events and Diplomacy, C. E.
Street.
THEMES.
The State and the Poor, Mamie Pugh.
Control of Immigration, Will A. White
The program is a good one. Let there be a full attendance.
Mrs. I. S. Blackwelder, of, 75, has donated Long Longfellow's "Poets and Poetry of Europe" to the library. The volume is very elegantly bound and is an expensive and valuable book. If each of the alumni were to contribute a little the University library would be very materially increased.
