W'shburn expects to send two car loads to Emporia when the contest comes off.
Chanceellor Lippincott entertained the Old and New club Saturday night.
The young ladies of the Pi Beta Phi met at the Misses Miles' last Saturday evening. Misses Helen Webber, Lallie Buckingham and Josephine Berry, who have been pledged for sometime, were initiated. After the initiations the meeting was turned into a "cooky-shine" and the evening spent in a most pleasant manner.
The following persons were voted into the society: E. G. Allen, C. A. Peabody, W. E. Swank, W. H. Brown and Mr. Kistler.
The most important bill yet introduced in the legislature regarding the University is Senator Moody's bill, which declares a tax of three-tenths of a mill on each dollar of assessable property in the State for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1890 and 1891; and after that date a tax of two-tenths of a mill for the support of the University. The excess of $100,006 for the first two years and of $70,000 thereaster shall go to a permanent fund, and when that fund reaches one million dollars the tax levy shall cease. It seems probable that this bill will become a law.
Athenaeum.
There was an unusual attendance at Athenaeum last Friday evening. As this was the first regular meeting since the election of officers, the new routine of officers was installed. A vocal solo by Miss White was greatly appreciated. The program deviated somewhat from the regular program on account of the absence of a few of the members, and consequently was not as long as usual. Miss Weller favored the audience with a piano solo, which was rendered in her usual effective manner.
The society continues to flourish and all are cordially invited to attend its meetings.
Prof. Wilcox will have nine juniors and seniors in the "Greek into English" class.
At the Times election Wednesday F.E. Reed was made editor-in-chief, and Butler and Hill business managers.
There will be a lecture in the art studio to-night at 7:30. Mrs. A. R. Marsh will deliver a lecture on Sir Joshua Reynolds. All are invited to attend.
Prof. Carruth lately addressed the New Hampshire Constitutional Convention on behalf of the New England Woman Suffrage Association. He spoke especially of the Woman Suffrage movement in Kansas, and answered a great many questions about the workings of the new law admitting women to municipal suffrage.

Unity club earnestly invites all students who are interested to attend its meetings.
Phi Delta Theta.
Last Friday evening the members of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity entertained their many lady friends in the A. O. U. W. hall. Cards and conversation were indulged in, and those who desired danced to the bewithing strains of the Riverside Mandolin club during the evening. About midnight elaborate refreshments were served by the popular caterer, Weideman, and after a few more hours spent in solid amusement the guests departed for their homes. Those present were: Misses McCague, Mason, Towne, Henshaw, Price, Hair, Crotty, Johnston, Morris, Rusher, Scott, Sutliff, Iny Taggart, Mina Taggart, Milia Crotty, Chapman, Bartell, O'Brien, Manley, Franklin, Springer.

Declamation...Mr. Miller.
Essay...Mr. Austin.
Reading...Mr. Merrifield-
Declaration...Mr. Riggs
Debate: Resolved; That man should not be influenced by public opinion: affirmative, Messrs. O'Leary and Hunt; negative, Workman and Miller.
The Peabody Catalogue.
Perhaps all have not yet noticed the valuable addition likely made to the reference books in the library in the shape of a catalogue in the library of the Peabody Institute of the city of Baltimore. It is a gift to the library from the trustees of the Institute. It consists of three large volumes containing 1698 pages, covering the alphabet from A to I inclusive. The rest of the alphabet is to be comprised in two more volumes, and there will be a sixth, a supplementary, volume. These last three volumes also have been promised to the library. The fourth volume, to end with the letter R, will probably be finished about the end of the coming June.
A mere glance at this catalogue will suffice to show that neither pains nor expense have been spared in its preparation. The mere printing of the volumes so far issued has cost about eight dollars a volume, and the next to be issued will cost about ten. About 350,000 titles have already been written for the whole catalogue.
It is in one alphabet for both authors and subjects. It includes not only books, but collections, periodicals, and proceedings, journals, reports, and irregular publications of societies. Under books it gives also all important reviews. Under Grote's history of Greece for instance, 18 reviews of it are named. And not only a book, but its contents are catalogued. And when the contents are given under the title of a book, they are given, not in order of pages, in alphabetical order of subjects in heavier-faced type, making it much easier to find the subject you want than in other catalogues. The treatment of periodicals also shows a great improvement on other catalogues. Not only the volume and the page are given, but also the year and the number of pages; thus giving one some idea of the resources at the command of the writer, the place of the article in the history of the subject, and the extent and depth of the treatment.
The catalogue will serve us as a splendid guide to the best that has been written on every subject, and a constant reminder of what our library ought to contain. On Greece and Greek alone it contains $53\frac{1}{2}$ pages of titles, with 3,300 titles. There are $4\frac{1}{2}$ pages of names of articles in periodicals on Greek Inscriptions. There are $53\frac{1}{2}$ pages on England and English, 53 on France and French, 28 on Germany and German, and 12 on Egypt. The Bible gets 35 pages, and deama, of all times and literatures, 77. What a splendid array! And all, the best books. There is absolutely no trash, such as can be found in some quantity at least in almost every other catalogue. This catalogue ought to prove an inspiration to every lover of books and study in every line. No one who is reading or studying any subject should fail to get all the light this catalogue can throw on it. Indeed it wil repay perusal at any time.
Science Club Banquet.
The sixth semi-annual banquet of the Science club was held last Friday evening in Snow Hall. Many invited guests from the city were present. Music for the occasion was furnished by the University Mandolin club under the leadership of Earle Swope. Their services were called into frequent requisition during the evening and added much to its enjoyment. The supper was served in the botanical laboratory. A feature of the spread was some of the buffalo meat that Prof. Dyche recently brought from Texas. The menu was very elaborate and the service faultless. Prof. F. O. Marvir was chosen toastmaster. After the feed Prof. Murphy was called upon and responded with a very bright article on "Bridges." This he illustrated with original drawings. Judge E. P. West followed with a sharp criticism on certain inexcusable propositions in modern art. The proof of his assertions was a very realistic one and produced much merriment. College songs were interspersed at appropriate intervals in the program, and were sung with such vigor and enthusiasm as threatened to dislocate the roof of the building.
Perhaps the greatest interest of the evening was centered in the trial of William Suddard Franklin for catlaughter in the first degree. The court was convened in the usual formal manner by the court crier. Prof. Marvin dispensed justice in an impartial manner from the justice's chair. The prisoner was dragged in by the deputy sheriff and a jury quickly impanelled. A large number of witnesses were examined on both sides and the questions asked and the answers received elicited much laughter from the spectators. The jury was now swayed like a reed before the wind by the passionate and
eloquent appeals of Professor Blake and Esterly in behalf of the prisoner at the bar; and now their better judgment was inveigled and their clearness of vision obscured by the consummate art and subtle logic of Prof. Bailey and E. D. Eames for the state. One of the strongest argument of the prosecution was the fact that the sanctity of a home had been invaded and one of its members feloniously and surreptitiously made away with; in graphic illustration of which the cadaver of the defunct feline was exhibited to the jury.
Such, however, was the equally matched skill of the opposing lawyers (and witnesses) that the jury found it impossible to render a verdict,, and therefore agreed to disagree.
After some songs and a few renditions of Jay Hawk the entertainment was finished. This yell, by the way, of Rock Chalk, etc. was first adopted by the Science club and was for a time its peculiar property, but owing to some defect in the copyright laws then extant, the club has not been able to monopolize it entirely.

THE graduates of Yale have decided to commemorate the victories won in recent years by that university in rowing, baseball, football, and other athletic contests by uniting in a dinner at Delmonico's next February. The graduates claim that these victories, beginning in 1880, when for the first time a system of graduate advice and assistance was organized, have far exceeded expectation and deserve recognition. It is thought that an expression of enthusiasm and approval by Yale graduates on this subject will encourage future contests, and keep alive and stimulate the general practice of athletics among the undergraduates.
A meeting of the graduates will be held at Delmonico's at 4:30 o'clock next Monday afternoon for the purpose of appointing a committee of arrangements for the dinner. The gentlemen having the matter in hand are Brayton Ives, '61; George A. Peters, '42; Alexander H. Stevens, '54; Henry E. Howland, '54; Frederick W. Stevens, '58; Buchanan Winthrop, '62; Charles D.

The Race Problem.
The following oration, given fourth place in the contest, was thought by many to deserve a higher rank. In compliance with numerous requests made duing the past week Mr. Mushrush has consented to its publication.-Ed.
All advancement is through difficulties. The solution of the difficulties in a nations career frequently taxes the genius of its wisest statesmen and tests its national strength. The great national problem of the U.S. has proven most vexatious and difficult. For years the people regarded him as a public enemy who should even mention that such a problem existed. The North was awed into silence by the South. The rights of humanity were trampled upon with seeming impunity. When no longer conscience could turn a deaf ear to the cries of an oppressed race, the people rose in arms. They overcame slavery with the sword. Four million human beings were liberated from bondage. The nation rejoiced that it had finally solved its problem. The trunk of slavery had indeed fallen, but the roots of that dreaded curse remained. From these roots has sprung up a noxious growth of ignorance, of prejudice and of crime. Our people absorbed in business interests or ambitious schemes have allowed this growth to spread unnoticed and unrestrained, until, to-day, no question, whether economic or political, religious or social, is of such vital importance to the future of our republic as the Race Problem.
And yet, to-day, this question excites but passing notice. It is shunned by the politician as dangerous to personal interests; neglected by the people as though the American nation were the special protege of the Almighty. If any great evil threatens our national existence with a characteristic complacency, we let it alone, believing that if let alone it will cure itself. With a sublime sense of security, verging dangerously near the ridiculous, we have come to be devout believers in our destiny, our future, our luck. Sinrply because we are Americans we laugh to scorn the dangers which may threaten other nations. We neglect the laws of society forgetful that for every grain of errort here, must be paid down a corresponding grain of retribution. It is this spirit of neglect, this senseless trifling with danger, which makes the race problem to-day sothreatening, so terrible. Closely connected with this spirit in its relation to the race problem is the spirit of sectional feeling in the
U. S. Ever since our nation has had an existence there has been a North and a South whose principles, whose policy and whose motives have been radically different. This feeling of sectionalism has grown and has fastened itself upon the nation. War left it unscathed; it has lived to block and check the consideration of this problem. While on the one hand it has incited legislation in behalf of the negro, on the other hand it has thwarted the execution of the laws enacted and has inspired distrust throughout all sections of the country as to the motives of the legislators.
The condition of the negro in America has always been such as to excite the pity and compassion of human men. Brought from Africa in a wild savage state and sold into slavery, for two hundred and fifty years he was kept in the densest of ignorance. His condition was little better than that of the brute The laws governing him were a refinement of cruelty, a travesty on justice, a mockery of the enlightenment and civilization of the nineteenth century. The slave only learned the name of liberty when it was finally written in the blood of a nation. Emancipation gave him his freedom. Reconstruction placed the ballot in his hands. The slave was made a co-ordinate ruler with his former master. A second time our people rejoiced that they had solved the problem; a second time they rested from their labors. But mark you, they had only written the terms of the equation and had left it to solve itself. Against the intelligence, the wealth and the pride of a haughty people were arrayed the passions and prejudices of an ignorant race intoxicated with the power of freedom after two centuries of servitude. Liberty itself will fit no man for the exercise of sovereign power. The proper use of that God given right must be learned before its privileges can be enjoyed.
The South to-day presents a phenomenal state of society. Within her borders two free races are living under the same government. Separated by color and by marked natural characteristics, by pride, by passion and by prejudice, these two races have come to regard each other as enemies. This feeling of enmity with little to alleviate and much to excite it, has assumed gigantic proportions and bids fair to involve one section of our country in bloody strife.
The white man of the South is proud haughty and exclusive. Reared among slaves and taught that slavery was a divine institution he still regards the negro as an inferior species of the human family, fit only for servitude and degradation. That the negro may ever become his equal he will not admit. He can not, nay he will not tolerate the rule and government of the colored race in its present condition. Bitter indeed was the day, when, gallled by defeat, he had to free his slaves and perhaps reduce himself to poverty. But far more bitter was the day when placed upon the same level with the beings in whom he had once trafficked, he was compelled to recognize the negro as his political in politics. The negro as a political integer in the South has now practically disappeared. The reign of the white man is again supreme. But it requires constant vigilance of the people to maintain it. They do not propose that ignorance shall dictate their laws, dispense their justice or shape their policy. "Born: to rule," they cannot submit to a servile class their lives, their fortune and their honor. Theirs is the wealth and intelligence, theirs the cultivation and
refinement, theirs the honor and glory of their country. Proud of that country and jealous of their rights and their honor, these people regard it as an unbearable insult, that a class ninety per cent of whom can neither read nor write, a class which they have always despised and ruled should now demand a share in their government. They see the negro gradually outnumbering them. They see their country gradually coming nearer and nearer the domination of the hated race. In 1900, or eleven years hence, at the present rate of gain, the negro race will have a majority in eight of the Southern states. Goaded to desperation by the thought, the whites have resisted with force. Outbreaks have ensued, 'tis too, true that violence and crime have stained the fair name of the South. But what man is here tonight who would sit calmly by and see the government of his State made sacred by the memory of brave deeds and centuries of ancestral greatness and power, pass into the hands of an ignorant, wretched, despised class Kansas with her John Brown and her Jim Lane, her border wars and her heroic struggles for freedom, with all her sympathies for the colored man, his wrongs and his woes, would never submit to the domination of such a power as the present colored race in the South. Nor while the South retains her traditions of superiority, her pride and her prejudice will she ever submit to what seems to her so manifest a degradation, so great a disgrace.
To meet this struggle she is quietly gathering her forces together. Let but the report of a negro uprising be heralded forth and these forces assemble with remarkable dispatch. The lines of conflict are fast forming. There they stand; wealth against poverty; pride against prejudice; intelligence against ignorance, in unbroken array from the Potomac to the Rio Grande.
Legislation alone can not right the wrongs of a nation. Back of that legislation must stand public opinion. The rights guaranteed the negro by the constitution of the United States, and solemnly granted by the Southern states themselves, could only be maintained by armed force. The moment that force was withdrawn, his power was overthrown. Deprived of his rights and privileges he is almost as powerless to help his race today as he was when a slave. Whatever of freedom he possesses, he enjoys only at the hands of a minority, who openly declare that under no circumstances will the white population of the South submit to the government or domination of the Negro race. Such acts and such declarations have maddened his revengeful spirit. He can not but feel that he who held him in bondage for centuries, he who waged war for the continuation of that bondage and who finally defrauded him of his liberties by violence is his enemy and unfit to be the gaurdian of his rights.
That disturbances and outbreaks are less frequent now than a few years ago, does not prove that the danger is lessening, or that the colored man is content. The weaker race has only ceased to carry on a useless struggle. The
It is the inflexible rule of development that the inferior race in a republic of freemen tends to rise and become the dominant power. The pages of history declare it, the experience of nations has proven it. Generations may elapse before the colored race has reached that development. But if the races continue to drift apart, if passion is still inflamed by haughtiness and oppression, conflict is inevitable.
Negro has not forgotten his taste of liberty. Constant brooding over his wrongs will not inspire him with forgiveness. He will never forget that he was enslaved by the white man. It is folly to think it. Who of you can read of an indignity to our nation without a desire for revenge? Who of you can read of the insults heaped upon our ancestors by the British without a feeling of burning indignation? Yet these insults are to the wrongs of slavery as the little rill is to the raging torrent that leaps down Niagara's mighty steep. To the negro orator of a century hence, these wrongs willurnish an endless theme for eloquence. An eloquence that will fan race prejudice into a consuming flame, unless that prejudice be restrained by wisdom and intelligence.
Nor are these all the wrongs that rankle in the bosom of the colored man. The South may be justified in protecting itself from the mass of ignorance which threatened its institutions. But by all the laws of right, of justice and of humanity it was bound to enlighten this people which it had so long held in the darkness of bondage. Yet to the cry of the negro for knowledge the South has been supremely indifferent. Deprived of his rights and his privileges because of his ignorance, he has been kept ignorant that this denial might be continued. Deprived of a voice in the laws that govern him, he is denied a hand in their execution. His life, his liberty, his all is at the mercy of those whom he regards his enemies.
How may this conflict be averted? Shall the question be met and decided, or will you continue to sow to the wind of neglect and reap the whirlwind of disaster? The question is one of national importance. It comes home to each one of you and demands a solution.
Not always will this race submit. Its demands for right and justice can not always be scorned. Some day, unless his wrongs are righted, the Negro will revolt against his oppressors and wreak a terrible and a bloody revenge. Some day, unless our people awake to their danger, there will be enacted within our borders a fearful tragedy, and our nation will writhe in; the toils of a second French revolution.
Centuries are required to change the manners and customs of a people, a generation may wipe out their prejudices. We may not live to see the day when the Negro and the white man will meet upon the same level, but we may do much to alleviate the present state of jealousy and distrust. Knowledge is the foe of ignorance, universal intelligence the great enemy of superstition and wrong. It is a powerful influence in controlling the acts and restraining the passions of men. An ignorant class is always a dangerous element in a free republic. The whole people must be educated in order to become intelligent factors in their own government. They must remember that "ignorance is the curse of God, knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to Heaven." Then, like the murky fog before the kindly beams of the morning sun, will the blinding mist of ignorance, of passion and of false pride in the South be forever scattered to the four winds of Heaven by the beneficent rays from the lamp of knowledge; our people live in peace, our nation be one of fraternity and equality.

Worcester's University.
Miss Held into the alpha Theta of Miss ming.
Since the announcement a year and a half ago of James G. Clark's intention to found a great university in Worcester there has been a great deal of speculation regarding the scope of the institution. One large building has been practically completed and another is well under way, and yet there has been no official announcement of the intentions of Mr. Clark and the gentlemen he has associated with himself in the management of the new university.
Some time ago it was announced that Prof. G. Stanley Hall, of John Hopkins University, had been selected for President of the new university, and it is known that he is in Europe on business connected with the institution. The public generally has had an idea that the new institution was to be like the other colleges of New England, and considerable feeling has been expressed among professional educators, against Mr. Clark's scheme on the ground that the money he proposed to give could be used to much better advantage by some of the institutions already in existence.
It has of late come to be understood in educational circles that the scope of Clark University will greatly differ from that of an ordinary college. In fact, for the present at least, there will be no academic course at Clark University. Its aim will be to meet the need of graduates of other colleges who wish to pursue studies in special branches to the fullest possible extent. Special attention will be paid to the various branches of mental and physical science. In short, it is hoped and expected by Mr. Clark and his associates that Clark University will eventually be able to offer to advanced students facilities for study and original research fully equal to those of the best German universities.
It is expected that the university will be open to students next October. So far the name of President G. Stanley Hall is the only one announced in connection with the Faculty of the university, but it is understood that several other specialists have been engaged, whose names will be announced before many weeks. Mr. Clark possesses great wealth, and it is generally believed the new university will not lack anything that money can supply. Associated with him on the Board of Trustees are United States Senator George F. Hoar, ex-Attorney-General Charles Devens, Stephen Salisbury, Col. John D. Washburn, City Solicitor Goulding, and other gentlemen of local prominence.
REED and K. S. U. is the cry, and Emporia is the place. Everybody is going and a great time is assured. It inspires a speaker to have a large number of his friends present. Hence it is the duty of all to go to Emporia next Friday, and see K. S. U. carry off the honors as usual. The fare has been reduced to a very low sum. You will perhaps never have so good an opportunity to visit the city of Emporia as now. Then go. Help
sing the college songs that stir up the enthusiasm of students. Shout and yell for K. S. U. until the notion that college spirit is dead in the University is entirely driven out of doubling minds . And whether victorious or not let Rock-Chalk-Jay-Hawk K. U. "reverberate oer the reverberating balls" till it can't reverberate any longer.
Exchanges.
The Student Life in discussing the subject of college papers says: "The real aim of a college paper is to benefit the students, and this aim is accomplished chiefly by the practice of expressing our thoughts which it affords, and the increase in self confidence which the knowledge that our attempts will be published gives after repeated efforts. Let a college paper be the work of the students, with an occasional word from our professors, to assure us that they are interested in our work and wish to help us in our perhaps feeble efforts." College journalism in K. S. U. has never been favored in this manner, and yet it flourishes.
The University of Wisconsin is agitating the question of abolishing commencement orations.
The following is going the rounds of the exchanges: "One-half of one per cent. of the young men of this country are college graduates; sixty-five per cent. of the Presidents of the United States have been college graduates; Vice-Presidents, fifty per cent.; Speakers of the House of Representatives, fifty per cent.; Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, seventy-three per cent.; Chief-Justices, eighty-three per cent.; Cabinet officers, fifty four per cent.
The examination system has been abolished at Amherst, and a series of written recitations given at intervals throughout the year has been substituted. This plan would be much better than the present one in K. S. U.
The gentlemen's literary societies of Oberlin have recently fitted up new halls at a cost of three thousand and five hundred dollars.
Smoking is on the decrease at Yale. Last year the number among the Freshman was 19 per cent., this year 16 per cent. who use tobacco.

Beta Anniversary.
One of the most enjoyable events of the season was the party given by the young gentlemen of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity last Friday evening at their elegant hall in the Opera House block. It was the occasion of their seventeenth anniversary. Some indulged in cardplaying and conversation while others tripped the
light fantastic toe to the sweet strains of the Riverside Mandolin Club. At a late hour the company repaired to "Delmonico" where an elegant banquet was awaiting them. Dainty souvenirs were placed at the plate of each guest. Those present were: Misses Barker, Love, Webster, Dailey, Bartell, Morris, Johnston, Howe, Scott, Sutliff, McKinnon, Manley, Levy, Fullerton, Crotty, Webber, Springer, Mitchler, Henshaw, Hadley, Miller, Maxwell, Hayes, Merrill, Howland, Hattie Cook, of Kansas City, and Miss McGowan, of Fredonia; Messrs.

The Faculty committee on arbitration of the oratorical difficulty, rendered a final decision last Friday. This decision is conceded by all to be a just and equitable one and the members of the committee—Profs. J. H. Canfield and A. R. Marsh—deserve the thanks of all for the impartial manner in which they treated both sides. And especially do they deserve the thanks of all in thus taking upon themselves the trouble and worry of settling a question whose solution seriously threatened the peace of our University.
Misses Mamie and Helen Simpson very pleasantly entertained their Kappa Alpha Theta sisters Saturday afternoon. Those present were Mrs. Prof. MacDonald, Misses Monroe, Chapman, Walker, Dailey, Mushruh, Merrill, Mullay Haskell, Reasoner, McMillan, Benedict, Webster, Babcock, Bartell, Mamie Simpson, Helen Simpson, Florence Beck, of Topeka, and Hattie Cook, of Kansas City.

One of the most enjoyable pleasure excursions of the year was that given by Mr. E. D. Davis, General Manager E., L, & S. W. to a party of his friends on Monday last. The party, consisting of sixteen, left at 9:00 A. M. and after a four hours trip, during which time they disported themselves by riding on the cow-catcher and in the engine, arrived at Lawrence's most famous suburb Carbondale. After viewing the many beauties of the town and visiting some of the most noted mineral springs, the party left for home. Owing to the obstruction of one of the young ladies' hats, which was imprudently dropped from her position on the cow-catcher, a delay of about four hours was occasioned, the party not arriving at Lawrence until about 9:30, p. m. The party consisted of Misses Sue and Eva Miles, Southard, Lyda Griffith, Belle Roberts, Blanche Webber; Messrs. Otis, Lewis, Fox, Hogeboom, Miles and Davis.
Miss Anna Barker entertained in her usual happy manner a few of her friends at a seven o'clock tea Friday evening. Those invited were: Misses White, Penfield, Lyons, Love, Webber, Lou Barker; Messrs. Brewster, Armstrong, Shellabarger, Edson, Snow, Knowlten, Chas. Spencer, and Bert Spencer.
W. Y. Morgan attended the Phi Gamm hop Saturday night.
We publish in another volume a list of preachers in the Cornell University chapel for the year. Such an array of pulpit talent has probably never before or elsewhere been gotten together. Prof. Little is a comparatively new man, but his fame is spreading rapidly. Dr. Twichell is Mark Twain's pastor, who has been accused by the great humorist of spoiling the Sunday service for him as a time for composition. Prof. Coddington has probably refused more calls than any living preacher. Dr. Armitage is one of the Fifth Avenue constellation. Dr. Munger is a great scholar and philosopher. Prof. Rice is one of the most fluent and gifted speakers in the country. Robert Collyer is a man of large heart and wonderful oratory. Dr. Rainsford is the $10,000 Democratic Canadian who is now such an aggressive force in New York religious life. Edward Everett Hale everybody knows. What a treat the Cornell students are having. Would that we might have something of the kind! Of course we can't have such a splendid list of preachers, we'd have to go too far for them, and they would cost too much money. But the cities of our state, and Kansas City and Omaha, contain a dozen or more preachers of great ability and reputation, men of fine scholarship, deep religious feeling and great eloquence, whom we all want, to hear, and whom it would do us all good to hear. And it would probably not be very hard to induce them to come and preach to the University. They would be sure of a large audience in University hall. The opportunity for usefulness and influence would certainly be attractive to them. There are very few ministers who would not gladly accept an invitation to address a body of five hundred students. We should probably have to pay only their traveling expenses. Another advantage, too, of such meetings would be in the opportunity thus offered of gathering all together occasionally, a thing almost unknown now, and the feeling of solidarity as well as exhilaration that would come therefrom. It would unite us more, and perhaps even result in fewer squabbles. It would encourage college music too, for it would, no doubt, lead to the formation of a college choir, a thing sadly needed.

"We would like to call the attention of our contemporary to the late" decision of the Faculty committee in the oratorical difficulty, "however unpleasant it may be." COURIER stockholders, thirteen shares; Times' stockholders, twelve shares. Justice has at last been done and victory is ours.
With this issue of the COURCIER the new staff assumes its duties. Following as we do a most excellent and successful staff, we take up these duties with a feeling of the grave responsibility devoluing upon us. But with a corps of editors representing all classes of students it will be our endeavor to maintain the high rank which the COURIER has heretofore held. As with our predicessors, so with us the constant aim will be to make it a strictly representative paper of K. S. U. In order that we may fully succeed in this we ask the hearty co-operation of all those connected with the University.
NEARLY every afternoon passerby may see from thirty to fifty young
men playing foot-ball in the city park. Owing to the roughness and the mud of the base-ball grounds, the fellows were forced to find some grassy place to use as foot-ball grounds. The park is an admirable spot for such sports and could not be put to a better use than to be partly divided up into tennis courts and foot-ball grounds. Some parties after a great deal of hard work have succeeded in obtaining the privilege to establish one tennis court in that great square which is unused and practically unkept and which, if the city fathers could only be persuaded, might like the parks in all other cities afford a means for the amusement and exercise of many. Can't the tennis association see about this?
THE staff of editors will please notice the following division of duties: Editorial: H. F. Roberts, Edith Manley, S. A. Miller and M. E. Hickey.
Locals and Personals: Mark Otis, Helen Simpson, Gussie Price, Helen Webber, J. O. Worden and Irene Webb.
Each one in the first list will be expected to hand in an editorial each week not later than Tuesday.
Those in the second list will hand all locals and personals to Mr. Otis, who will arrange them for publication.
To Preach to Cornell Students
It is the intention of the Editor-in-chief that each one of the associate editors shall be so in fact. No name was put on the list simply as an ornament. No "wall flowers" will be allowed. Work, honest, faithful work is necessary for the editing of a good paper.
A list of Cornell University preachers for the winter term is announced. This is a new departure at Cornell. Heretofore the Sage Chapel has been vacant in the winter. The list of preachers is as follows: Winter term—President M.E. Gates, LL.D., of Rutgers College; J. H. Ecob, D.D., of Albany; President John Bascomb, D.D., LLD., of Williamsstown, Mass.; Rev. Myren of Syracuse University; Rev. W.C. Wilkinson, D.D., Tarrytown, N.Y.; Rev.J.H. Twichell, D.D., Hartford, Conn., Ptof.W.P. Coddington, Syracuse University; Dr. Dr.Bachman, Utica.
The list of spring term preachers is probably the most brilliant ever selected at Cornell, and' in fact, the best array of pulpit talent ever selected for any course of service. They are Thomas Armitage, D. D., LL D., Fifth-Avenue church, N. Y.; President J. Clark Seeley, D. D., LL D., Smith College; President S. T. Scoville, D. D., Wooster University, Ohio; Theodore T. Munger, D. D., New Haven, Conn.; Prof. W. N. Rice, D. D. Middletown, Conn.; T. Edwin Brown, D. D., Providence, R. L.; Rob't Collyer, N. Y. City; Prof. Hopkins, D. D., LL D., Auburn Theological Seminary; W. S. Rainsford, D. D., N. Y. City; E. E. Hale, D. D., Boston; David H. Greer, D. D., LL D., New York City, baccaulaureate sermon.
Why We Ask For a Gymnasium The following is published as a last appeal to the legislature, and it is for this reason alone that we allow this backneyed subject to occupy so much space.—Ed.
Why We Ask For a Gymnasium
The students of K. S. U. have repeatedly made efforts to organize among themselves an association which could furnish the means of gymnastic exercise. In each attempt they have been unsuccessful because so few students are able to contribute to such an enterprise. The students think it is now right to ask help from the protectors of the University.
Scarcely any one can doubt the necessity which created our petition. Farmers' boys, who comprise the majority of the students, come here fresh from active manual labor. They are compelled to suddenly change their habits from those of vigorous exercise to those of sedentary student life. Thus they lose energy and determination, their idea of education is lowered and many of them give up the struggle.
Eastern colleges have a fame which allures away from Kansas enough money to build a gymnasium every year. They have that fame because their students, assisted by the careful exercise that gives health, are able to give a good reputation to the institution which aids them.
In the University of Kansas other departments are at least organized; this one, not the least important, is wholly unprovided for. The dignity of consistency in K. S. U. seems to indicate that such a department should be attended to. It is the only thing for which the students in a body have ever asked. They ask this not without weighing the merits of a need for a gymnasium. They feel that it is an important department. Brain feeds on brawn Strong brains require solid, healthy nourishment. A sluggish circulation can not furnish such food.
At one time it was urged that such exercise would produce mischievous physical effects. We quote from Harvard's report: "Your committee can not but believe that athletics contribute to this favorable condition of physical exercise. Upon the participants themselves the physical effects are good. The average strength of students and the perfection of their physical development have greatly increased during ten years. At present there are about one hundred men in college stronger than the strongest man in 1880. The regularity and moderation of life necessary for men in training have a very favorable effect on health."
"Do athletic contests tend to usurp the interest due to study, and thus to lower the scholarship of those who take part in them? It might be argued a priori that the discipline, regularity of life and the perseverance required of successful contestants in athletic sports would tend to make athletes more efficient men; and there have been numerous cases in which atletic men have been high scholars. Your committee have obtained positive evidence on this point,
and they are themselves surprised at the conclusions of the proof that, except in the Freshman year, study is not interfered with by athletics. Tables 1 and 7 make possible a comparison of the college rank of athletic men and men not interested in athletics, with the average of their respective classes. It will be seen that the percentage of the university teams in but one case falls below the average of undergraduates, and in two cases it surpasses that average. (Table 1) When it is considered that the standing of one or two irregular or unfaithful members of a team may reduce the average considerably, this record is more than creditable. It is worthy of mention that the most athletic seniors in the classes of 1885-86 and 1886-87 included one man who received honors, nine who received honorable mention and nine who were entitled to write commencement parts. (Tables 3 and 5.)
That the scholarship of the college has not seriously suffered from the growth of athletics is further shown by the steady rise in the average standing of the graduating class during the past eleven years (Table 7); while new sports have been added and the number of participants has largely increased, the average standing has been from $67\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. to 73 per cent. At the same time the use of the library, a fair test of intellectual activity, has constantly increased. It seems demonstrated beyond a doubt that participation in athletics lowers neither the standing of those who take part nor the general standing of the college."
STUDENTS OF K. S. U.
The gymnasium which we need and which is the most economical we have been able to plan, is based upon designs by Architect Haskell. These are taken from t.e plans of other gymnasiums and modified to meet our necessities. It is to be so constructed that it can be added to as the needs of the University may require. The first wing can be built and equipped for $15,000. When we compare this with the cost of Hemenway gymnasium ($110,000) and others of the East, it appears that our request is not exhorbitant.
A Military Department.
Now that the gymnasium fiend is taking a rest from his labors, it occurs to us to speak again on a topic which, though broached once or twice before, deserves more careful consideration and that is the idea of a military department at the University.
When a college establishes a military department it usually applies to the general government for an officer of the regular army to be detailed as professor of military tactics, and whose term is three years. Arms and ammunition are issued by the government, and an army inspector is appointed to examine each year the department, and report its condition and progress. The uniforms are usually furnished the college for the use of the cadets by the state in which the college is situated. Manv
of the educational institutions of the country have in this manner established flourishing schools of military discipline. Ohio has one at her state university, and in Kansas there is a thriving military department at the agricultural college.
The good arising from military discipline in schools is two fold, physical and mental. As to the physical benefit; no one needs to be told that military exercise in the open air, or the practice of the manual of arms, for an hour each day, or even three times a week, is conducive to good health.
If we had a military department at the University, and had military exercise compulsory for every young man during the first year of his attendance here at least, we venture to say that we would see fewer sallow, scikly, "foot-in-the-grave" young men, and would have a shorter sicklist. This may seem an exaggeration, but to anyone who has seen the effects of regular military discipline amon students, it is no more than the truth. Of course there is much to be said in favor of a gymnasium, it is certainly a good thing; but there are many who shrink from the acrobatic performances of the gymnasium, but who would willingly take up with military drill, partly because of the enthusiasm which seems always to accompany military exercise, and partly because of the healthy, but less violent exercise it offers.
Then the moral effect of military drill is good. It inculcates a spirit of obedience to orders, and subordination to discipline, and gives rise to a certain esprit du corps such as no other athletic organization can impart. As we said before, we believe that military drill would attract a larger number of students than a gymnasium, baseball association or any thing else of an athletic nature. Anyway, one thing is certain; we need some kind of regular exercise, and need it badly, and for our part, we think that a military department fills the bill exactly.
"Siberia."
The Chicago Tribune says:
"Bartley Campbell's great drama "Siberia," at Heuck's this Christmas week. There are many who claim that this play is the lamented dramatist's greatest. It must be a strong play to come again and again and receive such tremendous welcomes in crowds and applause. There were people in that audience last night whom the writer has seen there upon former productions. And notting so emphasizes the worth of a play than that those who have seen it are drawn to it again, and draw others in also by their encomiums. The one who saw "Siberia" for the first time last night will be among the first to welcome it with his dollar upon its first future presentation."
"Siberia" will be presented at the Opera House next Saturday evening. All the magnificent scenery of the company will be put on, and the play otherwise produced as in all the large cities. The seats are now on sale.

Report of the Faculty Referees in the Matter of Disputed Shares in the University Oratorical Association.
LAWRENCE, KANS., Feb. 1, 1889. The taking of evidence having closed, the referees met, and after due deliberation render the following decision:
Without action of the referees, the following shares having been originally admitted as undisputed by both parties hereto, stand in status quo as far as these proceedings are concerned. and the title to them as vested in the parties whose names appear therewith:
No. 1, Charles Johnson; No. 2, J.
C. Fox; No. 3, F. E. Reed; No. 4, Jos.
Shellabarger; No. 6, Edgar Martin-
dale; No. 9, R. D. Brown; No. 10, V.
L. Kellogg; No. 11, Frank Craig; No.
12, C. E. Street; No. 13, Will Snow.
No. 15, H. F. M. Bear; No. 16, H. F.
Roberts; No. 17 F. W. Butler; No.
19, J. M. Challiss; No. 20, Mark Otis;
No. 21, L. D. DeCamp; No. 24, H.
W. Montgomery; No. 25, W. E.
Swank.
II. The evidence submitted seems to the referees to show that shares in the Oratorical Association have not been generally regarded in the light of property, valuable in and for itself, but in the light of certificates to be held as conditions precedent to voting at meetings of the Association.
The referees further deem that consciously or unconsciously, article 1, section 3, of the constitution of the Association has been generally taken by the Association to mean stud-nts actually in attendance at the University at the time of an election or other meeting of the Asociation in which a ballot might take place. The referees deem this view to be corroborated by section 5, of the bylaws, which prohibits voting by p oxy; thus showing that it was contemplated that the holder of a share must be on the ground or forfeit his vote.
The referees have found no evidence to the contrary of this, except that derived from shares now in dispute; nor do they think the claim that objection was not earlier made to this construction of the constitution owing to the impossibility of influencing the action of the controlling party, sufficient to outweight this lack of evidence.
The referees therefore decide that in all cases of shares of stock nominally held by non-resident owners but transferred or re-issued by the proper officers to new share-holders, the new share-holders shall be recognized as having the right to vote.
III. In accordance with this decision the referees decide that the title to the following shares is in the persons whose names appear therewith;
IV. In the case of share No. 7 the evidence as to the transfer from Bennett to Gilmore was so conflicting that the referees accepted the hitherto indisputed record of transfers, and under the ruling of section 2 of this
report declare the title to be in J. A.
Mushrush.
No. 5, D. E. Esterly; No. 23, E. S.
Smith.
V. In the case of share No. 8 the referees are of the opinion that the evidence makes it clear that Neal used reasonable promptness and care to secure the transfer of this share through V. L. Kellogg to such person as he preferred; but that the failure to press the transfer and the subsequent neglect of the share must place it under the ruling of section 2 of this report. They herefore decide that share No. 8 stands as appears by the books of the Association, in W. A. White.
VI. In the case of share No. 14 the referees decide that the title is in L. P. Hill.
VII. In the case of share Fo. 18 the referees decide that the title is in Denton Hogeboom.
VIII. In the case of share No. 22 it appears to the referees that the ownership of that share was in F. G. Crowell till the time of his graduation, June, 1888; that he took all reasonable care to have the share properly and seasonably transferred; and that the title of share 22 is now in Bert Smith.
IX. In the election which is now to be held, therefore, the following persons are authorized to vote:
No. 1, Charles Johnson; No. 2, J. C. Fox; No. 3,F. E. Reed; No. 4, Jos Shellbarger; No. 5, D. E. Esterley No. 6, Edgar Martindale; No. 7, J. A Mushrush; No. 8, W. A. White; No. 9, R.D.Brown; No. 10, V. L.Kellogg; No. 11, Frank Craig; No. 12,C.E Street; No. 13, Will Snow; No. 14 L.P.Hill; No. 15, H.F.M. Bear Vo. 16, H.F.Roberts; No. 17,F.W Butler; No. 18, Denton Hogeboom; No. 19, J.M.Challis; No. 20, Mark Otis; No. 21, L.D. DeCamp; No. 22 Bert Smith; No. 23, E.S. Smith; No. 24, Hi. Montgomery; No. 25, W.E Swank. ARTHUR R. MARSH,
It will be seen by section 5 of the above report that the awarding of share No. 8 to Mr. White was probably through a mistake as it reads as if Mr. Brewster's name was intended. The intention of the committee will be determined.
We can do more good to the paper and to the University than a staff composed of "frats" only, for the weight of a society does not hamper us and restrict our freedom of expression. Since each one of us is an individual whose manner of thinking is not methodized by any fraternity, clique or clan, each one can give expression only to original thought. That originality is a source of vigor and a means of improvement more
JUDGING from some remarks recently dropped, one would suppose that a "barb" can not be associate editor on a Phi Psi paper unless he submit himself to the dictation of the fraternity. We acknowledge that every one has a right to private opinion. But since we have been severely criticised for assenting to serve and allow the Phi Psis to "domineer" over us, it is necessary to define our position.
The diversity of our tastes give a range to the COURIER wider than her range could be if defined by any single class of students.
effectual than any other is not easily denied.
We are told that the "frats" have no sympathy for the "barbs;" that they will reject every production that bears evidence of coming from a "barb;" that they recognize no merit or capacity in any one who is not identified with themselves, and that they elect us merely for the purpose of rushing us or those whom we may influence, and that they may have a popular paper.
Very well, how shall we overcome the animosity which the aristocratic and orthodox "frat" may exhibit towards the "harb?" Can we do so by refusing to work for the interest of K. S. U?. By manifesting a malice toward them when they offer to compromise and allow the whole University to be represented?
If they will reject "barb" productions, why do they ssk to represent the "barbs?" Can you answer yourself satisfia ctorily? How can they recognize merit in a "barb" if he persistently refuses to show it?
And what a novel method of "rushing!" Grant a "barb" a privilege in hopes that he will bind himself to secure those things which they extend to him voluntarily!
We admit that the supporters of the Courier are working nobly to secure a popular paper. Of course this is wrong (? ) and our esteem ed contemporaries do no such base deeds.(?) Excellency may be a specialty, and peculiar to publications which are not popular, but our rivals do not produce the essential instance.

Now and Whereas, We the INDIANA CASH GROCERY AND CROCKERY STORE are leading all others in our respective lines, we wish to submit our case to the people of Lawrence and Douglas County, as well as the State of Kansas; that we waive all unnecessary prejudice in our plea, all we wish is to state plain facts in as brief manner as could be done.
Now, Your Honors, (the people) All we wish is to state facts just as they are, and will try and curtail on the expense of stationery, so we will commence at our subject in view:
Questions and their Answers opposite.
Why does Cash buy the most? Because you get a rebate.
Why does your monthly bills seem so large?
Why don't you get what you buy?
Because you don't get what you buy
Why don't you change your trading place for a cheaper one?
Because you buy two-price goods.
Why is this dreadful mortgage on you so binding?
Why is your wife happy when you buy from us?
Why should your pocket book be your guide and your eyes your judge?
Because they have a mortgage on you.
Because you have no money left to go elsewhere and purchase.
Because we give you your money's worth and she, your wife, has pix money left.
Because you would then be doing justice to your families.
Now, Your Honors, (the people) To close our argument, we will submit to you our case, and trust you will handle it with the true judgment most of you have always done to us.
In referring to each of our points and facts, be sure you open the eyes of the blind and not allow themselves to be duped by men who call themselves grocerymen, and men who never knew the difference between an honest earned dollar and one of which is earned by the sweat of the brow. We are your sympathizers! We are your redeemers! Throw off your Mantle of Mortgage and be a free man in your country and true to your family. This cut-throat credit system has and will hang men and drive them to all crimes both to themselves as well as unto others.

The 'Entre Nous' gave a very pleasant party last Friday night.
An electric light has been placed at the foot of the hill on Adams street.
Morris Halligan writes a very interesting letter from Healdsburg, California, and wishes success to the Courier. Speaking of the country he says: "The Russian River valley in which this town is situated is very fertile, but it would seem like a small affair in Kansas where one becomes so familiar with the broad prairies. The winter is milder here than usual. There were a few heavy frosts about two weeks ago and the nights are now quite cool. The grass is green, the flowers and trees are in bloom and the general appearance is that of spring."
The moot court at Kent Club this evening will be even more interesting than a meeting of an oratorical association. All are invited to be present.
Bishop Potter, of New York, will poach the annual sermon before the Johns Hopkins University Christian Association next Sunday evening.
Through the efforts of Prof. J. H. Canfield, assisted by a number of the students, ten new tables have been placed in the library. These tables costing $18, were paid for by the Professor and the students, and are a valuable addition to the library.
The ladies of the Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity very pleasantly entertained their friends at the home of Miss Anna McKimon last evening.
A local chapter of the Kappa Alpha Theta fraternity was recently organized in Topeka, consisting of all resident members of this society. The chapter has already had two meetings, and now numbers about a dozen members. Those present at the last meeting were: Mesdames. Geo. Nicholson, Duback, Whitcomb, Hickman, Gibson; Misses Webster, of Lawrence, Ropes, Adams, Shellabarger, Knox and Beck.

"Cinderilla" will soon be presented by the ladies of the Presbyterian church assisted by the best talent in the city. Many of the most prominent society people of Lawrence will take part. The title role will be taken by Miss Nellie Griffith and the part of the Prince by Mr. L. N Lewis. Abe Levy will have a prominent part. Doubtless the "bald-headed son" will be well filled on account of the chorus girls.
Bro. R. A. George will conduct the Young Men's Gospel meeting at the Young Men's Christian Association on Sunday at 4 p.m. Singing led by male chorus. All students are earnestly invited.
The commencement exercises this year promise to be unusually brilliant. Chancellor Lippincott has received a telegram from Senator Ingalls announcing that the Hon. William M. Evarts of New York, has accepted the invitation to deliver the annual address before the literary societies. The Baccalaureate sermon will be preached by Rev. A. H. Tuttle, pastor of the Mount Vernon Methodist church of Baltimore.—Capital-Commonwealth.
Unity Club.
In the "Social hour" which followed, Mr. B. W. Woodward entertained the audience with an account of the rise and fall of a learned elephant. Having read many abstruse and technical books and in particular found a taste for German, Metephysics and Philosophy, the elephant unconditionally surrendered to Robert Browning, in despair of unpretending when he killed himself.
The usual good audience assembled to hear Mr. W. M. Hayes' paper on "Three Stars." The luminaries proved to be Longfellow, Whittier and Emerson. Mr. Hayes spoke most appreciatively of the freshness, tenderness and reverence of these three poets, though he admitted that Whittier's Puritan intolerance of sin made his voice at times harsh and stern. Many of the authors' poems were read and Mr. Hayes was certainly very happy in his selections.
A lecture on Jean Francis Millet will be given by Prof. A.G.Canfield, in the Art Room this evening. A cordial invitation is extended to all.
W. K. Johnston, State Secretaey of the Y. M. C. A., was shown through the University last week.
Orophilian held its regular meeting in Orophilian hall Friday evening. The program was fairly well carried out and an extra treat was provided in the way of a talk on West Point by Mr. Sweezy. Mr. Sweezy is a cadet at West Point, and proceeded to give the audience a view of inside life at that school. He spoke of the hazing process which all new students were subject to during their first year; of rigorous squad drilling to which every new student is subjected; and to the usual severity of regulations and discipline of cadet life. All the mathematics are taught at West Point, and in the languages only French and Spanish. A failure in one stndy means an expulsion from the school. No fraternities exist there. There are no factions in the school and a general sociality and good will prevails. This, Mr. Sweezy attributed not only to the absence of fraternities, but to the severity of principles as well, which by not allowing students anything kept them from expecting and consequently from wanting anything. The lecture was well received and highly instructive. After recess the society debated the question of silver as a currency. Mr. O'Leary was interrupted by cheering down stairs (and is still after that fellow's scalp). The Society moved to meet every week. An Athenaeum interposed that an evening ought to be given by both the societies to the Choral Club for the purpose of singing University songs, but the intoxicating ebullitions of one Wine compelled said Athenaeum to sue for pardon- Society adjourned to meet in one week.

As we "nurse the clicking ivories," Or essay seductive "crapurs." We'll recall how smiling Montle Used to work the boys for "snaps."
We will miss you, Monte darling,
And will think, with many a tear.
How you used to "keep her rolling,"
"Ante-up" and "here! two beer;"
How your gentle vow would cheer us,
As in accents soft 'twould say
"What's the use—oh blame the lessons!
Bet I don't bone to-day."
And we trust that in Elysium.
You may ever, ever roam
With "Sweet Coporal Sigs" in plenty,
and a biliard hall at home.

How about that promise, Reed, which you made before going to Emporia, that you would not work for the new association nor against the old association?
Noble Prentis' account in Saturday's State Journal of the state oratorical contest, held at Emporia Feb. 8th, is simply immense. What Prentis can not do in the way of description isn't worth a tempting.
Yes, you are all, all honorable men! You stood by your agreement made before the faculty committee, you told nothing but the truth at Emporia, and to crown it all you loyally stood by the association which you claimed to represent, and kicked it out of existence.
The thanklessness of beggars is well illustrated in last week's issue of the Times. Some of your malicious statements, dear contemporary, lead us to infer that you have forgotten
that you asked for and received "copy" of the Courier for your last issue.
BAKER UNIVERSITY has taken a new departure in college literature. It is a vicious little sheet. Its emblem, a cadaverous looking cat, with its back arched and hair bristling, is quite representative of the spirit of the ordinary Baker University student. It is on the Night Hawk order, but is rather more cleverly written. We understand that several members of the faculty are reduced to a state of wondering imbecility by some of its audacious passages, and the numerous parsons of that sanctified community are in sack-cloth and ashes bewailing the loss of that reputation for sanctimony and order in which Baldwin formerly gloried.
The commencement exercises of the Kansas State University to be held June 3rd of the present year at Lawrence, promises to eclipse any former meeting of that character ever held in the state. Chancellor Lippincott is in receipt of a telegram from Senator Ingalls announcing that Senrtor William M. Evarts has accepted the invitation to deliver the university oration on that occasion. Senator Evarts is a statesman of great ability, and his masterly address upon that occasion will be a treat rarely enjoyed by the students of that splendid institution. The Baccalaureate sermon will be preached on Sunday evening, June 2nd, by Rev. A. H. Tuttle, D.D., of Baltimore, Md.—Capital-Commonwealth.
Ir was a balmy evening in January, just before the cold snap struck and the price of coal advanced. Gentle Luna gliding from out her throne of clouds like a queen from her curtained boudoir, softly shed its refulgent rays on Gwendoline de Homerbelt and Percival la Courtney, fondly leaning on the front gate of Judge de Homerbelt's elegant mansion on Tennessee street.
There was sadness in the heart of Gwendoline. "Percival," she cried her voice faltering and the tears welling from her beautiful eyes. "Gwendoline," responds the anxious Percival, as he bows his head to keep back the flow of symyathetic fluid, which threatens to spoil his noble shirt bosom, "Gwendoline, why art thou sad?": "O Percival," lisps the maiden, "when I think of our future happiness, our future prospects, our ever brightening love, home, health, the possession of reason, my heart goes out in sympathy for the poor creatures who, friendless, without a guardian, are so early sent from their homes into a bitter, cruel world, with
no solace, no comfort but the insignificant privilege of pouring forth wild yearnings for their mamma and some one to love them, and 'The Days of Their youth,' and 'Sevell up Sweetheart, Sevell up,' with many other soulful petitions in that obscure little ___"
:'Ha,' broke in the now enlightened Percival, "you are just in your compassion, for if there ever was mortal needed pity and condolence 'tis the bubble of love-sick effervescence that holds the position of poet on the Times.
Many young men and women, the best that Kansas affords, leave the state to acquire that education which they could obtain at less expense at the University of Kansas. This is not a credit to the State, the University, or our educational system.
Those who have the management of the University attribute this to causes which are plausible, and apparently reasonable. But without undue conceit, one who comes from the homes of these alien students, may be allowed to dissent from the views even of these intelligent men. In many neighborhoods of Kansas a prevalent opinion is that the Uni-sity is largely ruled by infidels. Just here we will say that such is not the case, and we can prove our assertion.
We believe that our faculty is mainly composed of christian, God-fearing men. Now what is the matter? Why are the people so ready to believe such "stuff"? Now the people are not unreasonable, however much they may appear so to us. The University is judged of by its graduates. And it is a fact that more men than one have become infidels during their stay in Lawrenc. So prominent is this fact that many intelligent people regard it as an uniform thing.
Now our graduates have not become infidels with uniformity, but that infidel influences have an effect upon our students can not be denied. The Y. M. C. A. is doing a noble work which may partially counterbalance these evil tendencies of the skeptical sophistry, but the heresy requires something more than a passive opposition. This infidel spirit is aggressive and young men who base their belief upon faith, not upon subtle argument, are confronted by these enemies of religion, whose sophistry appears so much like reason as to shake the faith of some.
tions neutralize as far as possible the influences just mentioned.
Now the object of the University is to give a secular education. She can not consistently teach sectarianism, nor does she do so. She does not teach anti-religion. But K. S. U. should see to it that her regula-
We assert that this is important as effecting the perpetuity of K. S. U. Many citizens want it, and no loyal citizen is opposed to it. We are a christian people and have no use for infidelity.
We could suggest a remedy for this evil, but when we consider the ability of the members of our faculty, we feel that that task should be consigned to more competent minds than ours. But with all deference and respect we ask that our leaders make inquiry whether or not such a sentiment as we have described does exist in the state. They can then feel justified in taking emphatic action.
WHEN W. A. White was awarded his share in the Oratorical Association, it everlastingly and eternally settled the much disputed question, "Who stole the book?"
It meant that C. E. Street was the rightful and legal secretary, and the lawful guardian of the company's books. And if anyone entered his room in the dead of night, and took them away without permission, he violated the eighth commandment, which says, "Thou shalt not steal." —Times, Feb. 8th.
Oh yes! dear Times, but listen to the following and then go home, hunt up your long unused Bible, brush the dust from its lids and ponder the meaning of the very next commandment which reads "Tnou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor," which being interpreted means thou shalt not lie.
Lawrence, Feb. 14th, 1889. I am instructed by the Faculty Committee to make this explanatory statement:
In the matter of No. 8 it was the decision of the committee that the Neal share No. 8 had been invalidated under the second clause of the written decision, and that the re-issued or new share No. 8 must be recognized. The books of the Association, at page 220, seem to show a ta transfer from S. C. Brewister to W. A. White, and therefore Mr. White's name appeared in the decision. But the validity of this transfer was not brought before the committee and therefore is not in question so far as the action of the committee is concerned.
JAS. H. CANFILD.
to its logical conclusion, we conclude that since Mr. Brewister's share was decided to be the legal share No. 8, it everlastingly and eternally settles the question, "who stole the book." Now that it is answered, let it perish for sweet charity's sake. Let us forget and forgive.
Secretary. of Faculty committee. Now Mr. White does not claim that Mr. Brewister transferred share No.8 to him, hence the share belongs to Mr. Brewister according to the committee's decision. Following out the argument of our contemporary
Begging Mr. Tennyson's Pardon.
Broke, broke, broke,
By this cold grey fate, ah me,
And I would that my tongue could
utter
The chips that have gone to thee.
O well for my friend on my right
That he makes countless shekels at
play;
O well for the banker too
That the chips go a-flowing his way.
And the little game goes on
And the others get their fill,
But O for the touch of a vanished
hand,
And the cash for my washlady's bill.
Broke, broke, broke,
Yes the otters all win, you see,
But those dainty cardlets, that cold
straight flush.
Will never come back to me.

A Contribution to a Vexed Question.
A majority is a good thing. So at least think the men who compose that majority. Its opinions are just and should prevail,—at any rate,they probably will prevail.
The majority of Kansans are protectionists and believe that the doctrines they hold should be taught in a college supported by the State. The doctrines of the majority should prevail. There is no escape from the conclusion that protection as an economic theory should be taught in the State University.
There is, to be sure, one disadvantage attending the supremacy of the doctrines of the majority. Majorities, though always right, sometimes change their opinions.
The cogent argument of numbers, to-day brought forward to support Protection, may to-morrow be advanced to prop up Free trade. Since there is no criterion of economic truth but the opinion of the majority, which is subject to change, it follows that he is the best teacher who can best determine which way the political cat is about to jump. Teachers of economics should take for their model that fair-minded member of their brotherhood who when asked by the school board: "Do you take the earth to be round or flat?" answered, "Some likes it round, some likes it flat; I teach either way."

Philological Club.
There was a good attendance last Friday night at the Philological Club. Miss Lockwood was elected a member of the Club.
Miss Merrill give an account of Dr. Dollinger's late lecture on American Literature. Dr. Dollinger declared that nations can no longer live their intellectual life alone, that what interests America also interests Germany, and discussed especially Cooper, Irving, Prescott, and Channing. In America there is no aristocracy, not even one of learning. The absence of a learned class, the absence of an official class, and the popular newspaper, are forces working against literature. In other countries the class of permanent office holders give support to literature, but in America office-holders often possess little culture, and they are constantly changing. The future of American literature depends largely on the solution of three problems: The great corporations, the negroes, and foreign immigration.
Miss Hummicutt then spoke of Mr. Boyce's chapter on American Universities in his new book on the American Commonwealth. The American universities, he says, are either private or public, the latter established, endowed, and governed by the State. Not more than twelve institutions would strictly come within the definition of a university. In some the range of subjects taught is too limited, and the corps of instructors, and the provisions of laboratories, libraries, and other external appliances, entirely inadequate. Others differ from the gymnasia of
Germany, the lycees of France, and the public schools of England, only in the fact that they confer degrees and permit greater freedom to the students. Some universities have reached the maximum in the freedom of choice of studies, while several leading ones and the smaller colleges cling to the old system of prescribed studies. There has been no special provision made for the promotion of research except by the Johns Hopkins and Harvard fellowships. The prevalent opinion is that a University ought to be in a general sense religious without being sectarian. The American Universities are free, like the English, and popular, like the German. They will soon have greater funds at their command than the universities of Europe, and the greater universities of the East, as well as one or two in the West, are all ready beginning to rival the ancient universities of Europe.
Mr. Dunlap spoke of Mr. A. J. Ellis' paper on Volapek, called forth by a letter from the American Philosophical Society to the English Philosophical Society asking their co-operation in perfecting a language for learned and commercial purposes. To accept this invitation would imply that Volaepk was useless. As a matter of fact, Volapek has thousands of adherents, and is growing rapidly. It is easy to acquire, and lends itself readily to expression. Mr. Ellis concludes that it is welladapted for the purpose for which it was intended. The Society took no action on the American invitation.
Prof. Wilcox announced the discovery of a beautiful fragment of the Parthenon frieze, and its identification as the head of iris by Dr. Waldstein of the American school at Athens.
The star engagement of the season is that of Mr. Creston Clark, the nephew of Mr. Edwin Booth, who will impersonate "Hamlet" in the opera house next Wednesday night.
Creston Clark in "Hamlet,"
The Nashville American says: "The audience which awaited the rising of the curtain on "Hamlet" last night was expectant and critical in advance. The opening scenes were quiet in the extreme, the first taking place in open court with Leartes' leave of the king. Mr. Clark's entrance was unobstructive. For some moments he did not speak. He stood in his dark garb a youth not yet twenty-four years old, in figure still unmatured especially the face, which is perceptibly a combination of the Booth and Clark families. From the mouth up he bears the artistic and poetic stamp familiar in the face of Edwin Booth. In the chin his uncle's face is lost and reminds one of his father, John S. Clark. His eye is coal black as is his hair. He has the curving grace of body and easy movements of the limbs his uncle has, and he uses his hands and arms with a grace that is his own. His voice is full in its range, and impresses most in the lower register. In personal appearance Mr. Clark wears a poetic and an intellectual mould of face and figure. It was apparent from the first that he was reserving his forces for the later scenes. There was, indeed, an intensity of great depth in the first encounter with the Ghost, impressive to a degree, which the spectators watch with breathless inteaest. The quality of sweetness and range of the voice that floated out over the footlights was felt fully."

THE WAY IT GETS THERE.
"A Postage Stamp."
The musical farce comedy, "A Postage Stamp," the greatest of all great laughing successes, exhibited at the Eleventh Avenue Opera House Saturday night. The grand military Black Hussar band and magnificent orchestra were there and rendered some of the sweetest strains of music it was ever our pleasure to hear. Henry C. Stanley as "Jason Duckfoot," the New Hampshire farmer, and S. J. Daniels as "Hiram Duckfoot," his son play their parts remarkably well, while Billy Grav as "Rasper," a gentleman of color, from the South, sash, kept the audience in an uproar of laughter all evening. This company is composed of first-class actresses and actors, with May Condell as "Dolly Pitts, the pet of the farm, and Kate Sprague in the role of "Mabel" Stillwater, in the lead. The play is calculated to provoke mirth and does it effectually. The Company also carries a large supply of beautiful scenery. Lovers of music will do well to patronize them, for the cornet solo by Edward E. Nickerson, and the xylophone by John B. Willet cannot consistently be compared with anything ever heard in this city. "A Postage Stamp" did not stick either, for there was not a vacant seat in the house. Many were compelled to stand and many were turned away. Altoona (Pa.) Times.

Why does your monthly bills seem so large?
Because you don't get what you buy
Why don't you get what you buy? Because you buy two-price goods.
Why don't you change your trading Because they have a mortgage on place for a cheaper one? you.
Why is your wife happy when you buy from us?
Why is this dreadful mortgage on you so binding?
Because you have no money left to go elsewhere and purchase.
Why should your pocket book be your guide and your eyes your judge?
Because you would then be doing justice to your families.

Kent Club.
Kent club furnished a highly amusing entertainment last Frdiay evening. A moot court was organized and the libel case of Frinrock vs. Herdman was tried. The plaintiff claimed damages to the amount of $5,000 for a libelous statement which the defendant had published in the Times. The article stated that plaintiff would discontinue his study of law and lecture on the subject of "Marriage Reform." Prof. Summerfield presided and the case for the plaintiff was ably conducted by Messrs. Hobbs and Nelson; for the defense Messrs. Wade and Harringington.
The Plaintiff claimed that the statements made in the article were untrue, and that his feelings had been greatly wounded by the ridicule of friends and relatives. He testified that he had received from a very dear lady friend a letter which had caused him much sorrow. The defence relied mainly upon their attempt to prove the truth of the statements made in the article. To this end witnesses were introduced who testified that plaintiff had been studying on the subject for some time, and had stated that he would deliver a series of lectures on the subject.
Eloquent pleas were made by the counsel on both sides, and the case was submitted to the jury about 10 o'clock. After due consideration a verdict was rendered in favor of the defendant.
Our petition accomplished its desired result. The 22nd was given us as a holiday. Thursday while the faculty were considering the petition in room 11, the students amused themselves with waging a miniature "battle of the overshoes." When the faculty emerged from the council chamber the halls presented a scene of wild confusion. Over-shoes and rubbers were flying in every direction through the air or lying around promiscuously on the floor. The Profs. at first looked astonished, then as if a remembrance of the college days of youth flitted across their memories, a smile lighted up their countenances, and when the announcement of a holiday was made, all else was drowned in the cry of "Rock-chalk, Jay-hawk, K. U.," in which it is said even some of the professors joined.

In speaking of the concert at Baker University, Jan. 29, the Index says: "Miss Hutchings possesses a voice of great sweetness and rare power. She fairly captivated the audience by her charming manner, and produced a marked effect. Her selections were well chosen, and indicated that she had the good sense to know what to sing, as well as how to sing, before a mixed audience." (Baker always has mixed audiences.) Miss Hutchings is a member of the music department of K.S.U.

How it Was Done.
Yes, the old Oratorical Association here at K. S. U. was thrown out of the State Association and the new one just formed was recognized in its stead. Our contemporary rejoices over this fact as over a victory But what a victory! May God pity the spirit which prompted the plans for its accomplishment!
The old Association consists on twenty-five share holders. A dispute arose in repard to the possession of certain shares. After much wrangling it was agreed to submit the whole affair to a faculty committee for arbitration, each side binding itself to abide by the decision of said committee. This committee decided that fourteen shares belonged to the Phi Gamma Psis and eleven shares to the Phi Beta Chis. Galled by defeat, and forgetful of their honor as men, the Phi Beta Chis, instead of standing to their agreement before the Faculty Committee, immediately began to look around for a chance to break said agreement. They did not have long to wait; if indeed the step to be taken in case of defeat had not already been planned. For as soon as the decision became known, one Culver began agitating the formation of a new association. He approached the minority and found them not unwilling to enter into the scheme. He accordingly called a meeting of the representatives of both factions and demanded that the old Association issue twenty-five new shares to the "barbs." This request the members of both factions, Reed, Kellogg, Brown, Brewster, Fox and Mushrush, refused to grant. Not a single one of the old Association spoke in favor of the request. The representatives of the minority, Reed Kellogg and Brown were as positive in their denial as were the representatives of the majority. The new association was formed and almost the first move showed the Phi Beta Chi hand. Smith was elected president. Reed accepted the new association's endorsement as orator, and Voorhees was elected on the executive committee.
Meanwhile complaints came in to Mushrush as president of the State Association concerning the publication of Reed's oration in the Kansas City Times, in violation of the spirit of the constitution. Reed asked Mushrush for his support should an attempt be made to throw out his oration. This, Mushrush agreed to give and in return asked Reed as a member of the old Association to support it should anything threaten its existence. Reed refused to promise his support but said that while he could not promise to work for the
old Association he would not work for the new one. Did Reed forget his promise or did he willfully break his word when he got to Emporia?
Oh yes, they are all honorable men, and perhaps Reed and Kellogg and Bear forgot their promise made before the Faculty Committee, when they agreed to stand by its decision. Or perhaps they were laboring under the delusion that they could carry out their agreement and at the same time destroy the old association.
At any rate Bear and Culver both voted to throw the old Association out. Both owed their places as delegates to the old Association, and both were in duty bound to represent and defend its interests. Culver gained his position as delegate by contesting under the auspices of the old Association and than traitorously voted its destruction. Bear was not elected by either the local association or the executive committee. His credentials were simply "made up." Yet in the direct violation of the State Constitution which says that the credentials of all delegates "shall be signed by the President and Secretary of the Local Association," Mr. Bear was seated and Mr. Horton who was legally elected and whose credentials were signed in accordance with the Constitution, was thrown out. And this was done through the efforts and vote of Mr. Culver. But the most disgraceful act was yet to come. Mr. Bear—a man for whom we have always had great regard and who doubtless was compelled to the course he took by his associates—notwithstanding the fact that he is a member of the old Association, and that acting as delegate from that association he was in duty bound to guard, defend, and preserve its interests, its rights and its existence, or else resign his delegateship to one who would, this Mr. Bear with that other apostle of fidelity to the Association which gave him his rights as a delegate, deliberately voted the association out of existence. It is unnecessary to add that the whole proceeding was illegal, and that those who sold the association, which they claimed to represent, for the accomplishment of other schemes merit the oblequy and disgrace of a Benedict Arnold.
We have prevailed upon Mr. J. M. Shellabarger to accept an assistant editorship on the Courier. Mr. Shellabarger will have charge of the local and personal column, a department which he so creditably edited last term. He desires that all locals and personals be handed in by Wednesday noon. Associate editors please take notice.

The total allowed the institution for the coming year is $84,870, which is $41,000 less than was asked for in the bill.
Among the items cut out of the bill as originally introduced were the following: Two instructors in art, $1,000; for carpenter, $720; for steam coils in Snow Hall, $1,700 steam pump and fixtures, $650; for coating steam pipes, $800; piano $600; models for department of art, $200.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—Ames H. Plumb, of Emporia, son of Senator Plumb, is in the city en route to Norfolk, Va., to accept a position in the employ of the Atlantic & Danville Railroad Company,
Mr. Plumb is an old K. S. U. student.
TO-DAY is Washington's birthday. We might give a sketch of his life and deeds if we wanted to. We could print the maxims he compiled and advise the students to follow them. We might derive a lesson in patriotism from his character. We could write a eulogy on him that would do to speak. We might do all this and more, and in doing this we would go a long ways towards filling up the pages of the Courier. But we will abstain. Our business is to publish a paper that is readable, and if we printed these things they wouldn't be read. However it is not from lack of patriotic feeling that we do thus, in fact we have always had the highest admiration for the Father of his country. We admire him especially for his propensity to tell the truth, which he developed while quite young. He is chiefly celebrated indeed for being the first one to say "I cannot tell a lie." If he had lived at the present time and had gone down to Emporia he wouldn't have said this. He would have said "I did it with my little 'unofficial' mouth." But let us leave this subject. No, we are sure Geo. Washington will always be remembered; remembered from the counties and towns, and colored children that bear his name; remembered as long as grammars put his name in sentences to parse; remembered as long as people tell lies, and finally, if nothing else were left to keep his memory green in the minds of a grateful American public there would always be found some literary society to make his merits as a general a perennial subject for debate.
Reed says "that promise" was made in regard to his "official capacity." Great Heavens, Reed! how do you separate yourself from your official capacity? Your brilliant logic reminds one of Hudibras who "could distinguish and divide a hair twixt south and south-west side."
The Review is out for February, and would be a very creditable number were it not marred by the fact that for a journal devoted to the literary interests of K. S. U. it dips too freely into personal and political quarrels.
Why is it, dear Times; that you so proudly boast of being a truly Democratic paper when your shares of stock are limited to fifty? There is consistency and there is consistency.
THE student of the State Normal will continue to wade in the mud. The Legislature knocked out the appropriation for a walk.

Now that share No. 8 has been declared to belong to Mr. Brewster, the legality of the last election can not be questioned. This determines without a doubt that Mr. Horton was the legal delegate at Emporia, and was only defrauded of his seat by treachery.
Political Science. Political science club met Friday evening. The attendance was not so large as usual owing to the scandal trial in the law department. Miss Godell read a paper on proceedings in the state legislature. Mr. Reed reported on proceedings in the U. S. senate—nothing doing. Mr. Caywood reported the House proceedings. Miss. McKinnon read a very interesting paper on finance and industry. Mr. E. E. Squire read a paper on "The Greater Half of the Continent," which he decided to be Canada. Canada is a better climate than people here are accustomed to believe it to be. There is a wonderful abundance minerals and undeveloped resources which will yet make Canada one of the leading countries of the globe. As to the annexation fever, it seemed to be mostly in the dreams of American partisans and very little in Canadian hearts.
Miss Florence Reasoner read a paper on the "Influences of Factory Life on Girls." She reasoned well, and concluded that the only elevation in factory life for girls was in marrying out of it.
Mr. Mushrush reported on "Misrepresentation in Congress." He characterized Mr. Bryce's article on that subject as the "grumblings of a crank," and said that the only source of misrepresentation from which we have anything to fear is the control of politics by rings of corrupt demagogues, who, by manipulating ignorant votes, control elections in defence of the wishes of the intelligent classes. Meeting then adjourned.
The class in Freshman chemistry enjoyed a visit to the gas works last night and were restrained from mischief by the watchful eye of Prof. Bailey.
Science Club.
The postponed meeting of the Science club was held last Friday evening in Snow Hall. Professor Miller explained the methods used in indeterminate analysis. He said that the most eminent living analyst lived in Clinton, this state. Some illustrative problems enabled the hearers to gain some idea of the intricacy of this subject. The professor worked out several examples on the board, among which was one that had been sent him from Pennsylvania for solution. Ned Slosson read an interesting paper on alluminum alloys. He described the various complicated processes of obtaining this metal. The oxide of aluminum is the most abundant of the earths, and occurs in clay and granite. Aluminum resembles silver in color, is very malleable and ductile, approaches iron in tenacity, while it is one-third lighter than iron and does not rust. The subject was illustrated by samples of the pure metal and alloys with other metals. Prof. Bailey reviewed the scientific happenings of the week. After transacting some business the club adjourned.
A jolly crowd of young folks enjoyed the pleasure of a sleigh ride last Monday night. After spending several hours in this delightful manner, they were ushered into Phi Gam hall where the ladies with their usual wisdom and foresight, had spread an elegant luncheon, to which all did ample justice. The remainder of the evening was spent in conversation and dancing. Those present were Misses Tisdale, Harrison, Wébster, Lyons, Roberts, Webber, Southard,

Janauschek.
Madam Janauschek is the greatest living tragic actress. She will present "Meg Merrilies" at the opera house Mounday night. The Chicago Telegram says:
"Last evening a large number of admirers of profound and subtle art acting assembled at the Columbia to witness the world-renowned tragedian Janauschek in a grand production of the musical and romantic play, a dramatization of Sir Walter Scott's novel of Guy Mannering, entitled "Meg Merrilies." The character of Meg Merrilies is one calling for an artist thoroughly schooled and educated in the most difficult lines of prossional labor and gifted with the genius peculiarly adapted to the interpretation of complex characters. Being thus qualified in the higher ranks of dramatic art Madam Janauschek is eminently fitted to wear the mantle of the late Charlott Cushman. She has a voice that thrills and electrifies, and by its pleading tones of anguish she wins from the strongest heart emotion and sympathy. She holds her audience spellbound by more than wonderful magnatism and power of eloquence. She has a power and emotional force greater than Ristori, a nervous and fiery intention equal to Rachael, and a skill for elaboration and finish only equaled by Barnhardt."

LOCAL AND PERSONAL
Sigma Chi.
The gentlemen of the Sigma Chi fraternity entertained their lady friends in their elegantly furnished rooms last Friday evening. Conversation and card-playing were freely indulged in, while the sweet strains from the Lawrence Mandolin Club furnished inspiration to the lovers of dancing. Refreshments were served on the opera house stage. Those present were: Misses Turner, of Topeka, Rushmier, Mason, Pickering, of Olathe, Price, Barker, Johnston Hayes, Lyons, Morris, Palmer, Webster, Hadley, Henshaw, McCague, Monroe; Messrs. Swank, Morris, Fred Bowersock, Voorish, Jus Bowersock, Street, Taylor, Martindale, Royster, Adams, Firestone, Hardy, Westcoo Butler, Montgomery, Smith.
It is getting a little bit tiresome, even to the most jovial student, to have some long, haired, sallow youth, who desires to be considered a rustler, like his big brother, persistently strike you for *nus*.

CASH VS. CREDIT.
INDIANA CASH GROCERY AND CROCKERY STORE, Complainant COMPETITORS, Defendants.
Now and Whereas, We the INDIANA CASH GROCERY AND CROCKERY STORE are leading all others in our respective lines, we wish to submit our case to the people of Lawrence and Douglas County, as well as the State of Kansas; that we waive all unnecessary prejudice in our plea, all we wish is to state plain facts in as brief manner as could be done.
Now, Your Honors, (the people) All we wish is to state facts just as they are, and will try and curtail on the expense of stationery, so we will commence at our subject in view:
Questions and their Answers opposite.
Why does Cash buy the most? Because you get a rebate.
Why does your monthly bills seem so large? Because you don't get what you buy
Why don't you get what you buy?
Why don't you change your trading place for a cheaper one?
Because you buy two-price goods.
Why is this dreadful mortgage on you so binding?
Why is your wife happy when you buy from us?
Because they have a mortgage on you.
Why should your pocket book be your guide and your eyes your judge?
Because we give you your money's worth and she, your wife, has pin money left.
Because you have no money left to go elsewhere and purchase.
Because you would then be doing Justice to your families.
Now, Your Honors, (the people) To close our argument. we will submit to you our case, and trust you will handle it with the true judgment most of you have always done to us.
In referring to each of our points and facts, be sure you open the eyes of the blind and not allow themselves to be duped by men who call themselves grocerymen, and men who never knew the difference between an honest earned dollar and one of which is earned by the sweat of the brow. We are your sympathizers! We are your redeemers! Throw off your Mantle of Mortgage and be a free man in your country and true to your family. This cut-throat credit system has and will hang men and drive them to all crimes both to themselves as well as unto others.
BUY FOR CASH and you owe no one. BE INDEPENDENT and you will be a man both to yourself and country. Untie the bonds that have kept you a slave. Follow our example and you wil be what we are: KING OF THEM ALL!
Keep an Eye on us, The Bayless Mercantile Co.
