Oratorical Election.
Last Friday the oratorical association met in the chapel for the annual election of officers. The meeting was called to order by President O'Leary. After the minutes of the last meeting had been read and approved nominations for a president for the ensuing year were called for. Albert Fullerton and Ernest Robinson were nominated. Robinson withdrew and Fullerton was unanimously elected D. H. Spencer was elected vice president. For secretary and president, J. W. Park and W. W. Reno, respectively, were elected. Harding Linville and Hogg were chosen as executive committee. As a board of share adjusters Riggs, Hunter, and Kutz were elected. After the election of officers considerable time was devoted to the discussion of the question of giving the proceeds of the oratorical contest to the lecture course fund.

THERE is a meteor in the State University with queer markings on it, and some of the scientists believe that it may be a message from Jupiter or some other planet of high civilization, and these marks are the writing of some language.—Wichita Eagle.
ONE week from tonight we must all be in Topeka.
SEVERAL of the universities are at work on their annuals. This fact should be a sufficient warning to K. U. ___
TOPEKA with all its stately grace must come down off its dignity next Friday. A college crowd will stop for no one.
LAST Sunday's Kansas City Journal contained a very creditable, two column write up of Prof. Bailey and his department.
Home sweet home, does not always bring joy to the ears of the student who is forced to go home in the middle of the year.
Every institution in the state oratorical association has an orator, but in one week seven of the eight will have fallen from grace.
OUR exchanges seem to appreciate the Courier's "Hodge Podge" or "Heat" column, judging from the amount of clipping it undergoes.
The reform, started in K. U.. must have gathered force by the time it reached De Pauw. Even billiards were included in the re-formed code of our Indiana sister.
If it was in the province of a college paper to indulge in "roasting" we might turn the Courier's irons loose to a good advantage. But we forbear.
THE first issue of the Washburn Argo-Reporter comes to our table. It is a very creditable number being in magazine form and containing sixteen pages.
HARMONY reigned supreme in the election of the officers of the cra torical association. A very broad policy was adopted in the distribution of the spoils.
"Our Jim" Challiss will have a splendid support when he steps forward before about two thousand people and vindicates Shylock to the entire satisfaction of the judges.
ONE member of the Interstate League, the University of Iowa, is already at work on the training of their next years foot ball team. A tackling machine is to be secured for gymnasium work. K. U. must not rest on her laurels but should get an active move on herself
The new staff assumes control of the COURIER with this issue. We ask your support in our effort to make the paper worthy of the grand institution which it represents. As to our policy—well wait and judge for yourself.
THE Wesleyan Advance take the Courier to task for being a boaster and asks us to be more liberal by acknowledging the peers of our institution, in the state. Our Methodist friend mistakes our enthusiasm for boastfulness and as for our peers, we have none within a circle of five hundred miles.
KANSAS COLLEGES.
Kansas colleges may not have the age, nor the blue-blooded social surroundings, nor the so-called prestige, nor the enormous wealth, nor the "tone" of such institutions as Yale and Harvard, but in all other respects they are vastly superior to those eastern educational pretenders.
No Kansas college subordinates education, true, broad and thorough, to footballism. No Kansas college allows its secret society men to run saloons in their club or society rooms. No Kansas college tolerates ruffianism among its students. No Kansas college ruins young men physically and morally by tolerations which no decent community should wink at. No Kansas college turns out a larger per centage of numbskulls than educated graduates.
More young men are demoralized and headed for hell by Yale and Harvard than are turned into proper paths. Genteel loafers "re spectable" duffers, outnumber the graduates at both Yale and Harvard. It is true that these institutions graduate some good men, but they are in the minority, and that minority grows smaller every year.
If the physical welfare and the moral character of sons and daughters are worth considering, Kansas parents will keep their children away from colleges of the Yale and Harvard stamp, and send them either to our State University, to Midland, Washburn, Bethany or Baker. In these Kansas colleges, equipped as they are at present, with able scholars in the faculty of each and all, with wholesome social surroundings, and with the assurance that the chief effort in all these Kansas institutions is to educate the mind to the full measure of its capacity, to develop the qualities of the best manhood and womanhood—to make strong, capable men and women—the children of Kansas parents will run no risk of being mentally dwarfed and distorted and physically and morally wrecked—Atchison Champion.
The above, although very unjust to eastern colleges, is a high compliment to our own institutions.
Ar the "young crowd" republican banquet in Topeka last Friday night, six of the twelve who responded to toasts were former University students. In addition to these thirteen other, old K. U. boys were present. This shows how strong our alumni is growing and what enthusiastic support we will receive whenever we have occasion to use it.
PROFS. BLACKMAR and Dunlap have completed the lectures which were given on the University extension courses in Kansas city. Both are to be congratulated upon the most successful manner in which they conducted their work. They have given complete satisfaction to the Kansas City society and have added to the honors of our institution.
THERE seems to be a rivalry between the Chicago university and the Leland Stanford, Jr. university as to which can get the best talent that money can procure.
THE ladies should be ruled out of the state contest by all means. It is very bad policy to disagree with one of the opposite sex. They always have their own way.
You should not miss the chance of hearing Max O'Rell, the great French humorist, this evening. He is one of the best attractions ever offered the students of the University.
The new Chicago University will open October 1892 and the year will be divided into four terms of twelve weeks each. One week is left between each term and a student may take any quarter he desires for his vacation, or, if more is taken a four year's course will be completed in three.
THE Emporia College Life is of the opinion that the students of K. U. have an oratorical style peculiar to themselves and that they can win fourth place if everything is favorable. Well, if Emporia is represented by her "talent" and we are represented by our "peculiar style"the contest will be exceedingly close.
The state oratorical contest will take place at Topeka on the north of February. Of course the Atchison contest will win; that's the kind of a family he comes of. And it is fitting that the event shall take place on the 12th of February;it is Abraham Lincoln's birthday.-Atchison Patriot.
"That's he."
YESTERDAY'S dispatches announce that Dr. Henry Von Holst, professor of modern history in the University of Freiburg has accepted a call to the Chicago University and will enter upon his duties about easter. He is the author of the best work we have on the American constitution and is an authority upon American history and laws. He will be one of the strongest men in the faculty of the new University.
NEVER before in its period of existence has the University received such an amount of advertising as has been given it during the past six months. The University extension courses, the work of her different professors, her special departments and her foot ball victories have all appeared in print and by this means have brought the scope and magnitude of the work directly before the people, for the first time in the case of a great man. This good work should be kept up as we may want some favors of the next legislature, which can be secured much more easily if the people are brought to realize the importance and the quality of the work done in our institution. They must be made to feel and to realize that the University is theirs and when this is accomplished we will get anything we ask.

A VOICE FROM THE DEAD. The Industrialist,a sheet published by the faculty and students of the state agricultural college, is out with an article written by one of their "third year" men. The brainy production is entitled, "Western Ideas for Western Schools." After a lot of unreadable trash against college "patriotism" because it exists in eastern schools (that is the reason given), he launches forth in this strain. "When college authorities encourage the growth of college patriotism (so called), class spirit, fraternities and the taste for the misnamed "athletics," they are not working in harmony with the philanthropic spirit which prompted the founding of such an institution. When a college professor goes fifty miles to attend an inter collegiate foot ball contest, wears a red cap, and gives vent to his feelings by giving the "college yell." he is not only prostituting the dignity of his office, but is is also doing positive injury to a cause which he should foster and protect, etc., etc."
In the first place we are surprised that the editors of the paper, a part of whom as has been said, being professors in the the college, should sanction such an article, which they certainly do, when they permit its publication. But this spirit is in perfect keeping with their recent actions in several little affairs which we can recall. The entire article is a cowardly, back-handed slam at our grand old K. U.
"Tis a false creation proceeding from the heat oppressed brain," or, rather, brain worn out by petty jealousies, nothing more. It is a parting wail." A stab in the dark at the institution which numbers among its faculty one who has saved the farmers of the state of Kansas a million dollars while the agricultural college quietly slumbered away with the dead. Its long pent up hatred has at last found a chance to vent its spleen in this pusilanimous attack. The "get even" spirit is uppermost in its mind. The spoiled and disappointed child must have its cry. But be good, study hard, and you can hope for—well, something. You will get it no doubt, if you keep up your present gait. Peace to your ashes; farewell.
THE University of Nebraska is blessed with two papers. The Lasso is published by the fraternities and the Hesperian is published by the anti-fraternity men with "anything to beat the frats" as their motto.
The young crowd might properly be called the University extension. Of the 105 at the feed twelve delivered speeches and six of the speakers were graduates of the State University.—K. C. Star.
If the ladies can't win they will doubtless thrown their support to the handsomest man in the contest. Well we have a candidate and he is just as susceptible as the rest.
The jealousy of the Industrialist is very apparent. Perhaps a chinch bug is causing the trouble.
Blake's Electricity.
The first lecture is in the course on "Electricity and its Modern Applications," which is the third course of lectures undertaken by the Kansas City Society of University extension, was given last evening.
A great deal of satisfaction is felt over the fact that Prof. Lucien I. Blake, the distinguished electrician of our University, delivers this course of twelve weekly lectures, and the Kansas City society feels that it is most acceptably providing for the strong popular demand for knowing and information on the subject of electricity.
For the past two weeks W. W. Smith of the telephone company, Manager McMillen of the American Electric Light company, and Manager Woods of the Western Union Telegraph company have been in conference with the executive committee and have been enthusiastic in their efforts to make the course a remarkable success. All of them have taken the application cards of the society, and Mr. Smith secured many members for the class and the society.
The subject of electricity is one of such rapid development and the applications of its uses are so numerous and astonishing that Prof. Blake very wisely refrains from an nouncing the course in detail at the start. He states that it is not only possible, but probable that some great discovery in relation to its laws, theoretical or applied, will be made before his course of lectures is finished, and therefore the society adopted the plan of furnishing a printed outline of each lecture one week in advance of the night.
Prof. Blake treated the subject from a scientific standpoint, but explained and illustrated his lectures with the most modern appliances and inventions. The University of Kansas is noted for the completeness of its physical laboratory, and its supply of electrical apparatus it is surpassed by no institution in the west. The faculty, with a generosity which the people of Kansas City will fully appreciate, consented that Prof. Blake should express such portions of the machinery and models to Kansas City from week to week, as the lectures require; and with such opportunities, the society believes that the general thirst for knowledge of electricity will be at least partially assuaged.
No course of lectures undertaken by the society has aroused such interest as this on electricity. From the list of members, drawn from all walks of life, it is very evident that there is a strong popular desire to have full and exact knowledge of the revolutionsizing power of the century. Prof. Blake, too, has a most enviable reputation as a pleasing lecturer and instructor and his ability as an electrician is a subject of the highest praise on the part of the practical electricians of this city.
Twenty-four athletes and ten editors of college papers have received commencement appointments in the present Harvard senior class. Comment is unnecessary.
WHERE will the end be? Twenty-seven students have been expelled from De Pauw University for indulging in an innocent game of billiards.
THE law class or Cornell selected Robert Ingersoll te deliver the annual address but the faculty very foolishly vetoed their action.

Weather Report for January, 1892
Prepared by Prof. F.H. Snow, of the University of Kansas, from observations taken at Lawrence.
The month was somewhat colder than the January average—eleven of the 24 preceding Januaries having been colder and thirteen warmer than the month just closed. The mercury fell below zero on five days, one more than the January average. The rainfall was below the average; the wind velocity was nearly normal. The minimum temperature of this month has been but three times exceeded during our 25 years record,—in January 1873, 1884 and 1887, when the temperatures were respectively 26, 21.5 and 20 degrees below zero.
MEAN TEMPERATURE -24.02 degrees which is 1.49 deg below the January average. The highest temperature was 58 deg, on the 31st; the lowest was 19 deg below zero on the 19th, giving a range of 77 deg. Mean temperature at 7 a.m., 17.37 deg; at 2 o.m., 31.61 deg; at 9 p.m., 23.55 deg.

inches; maximum, 29.577 inches, on the
14th; minimum, 28.691 inches, on the

The Santa Fe New Mexican has this to say of R. W. E. Twitchell, a former student of the Kansas State University, who is well known to many Lawrence people; The verdict of the people and of the bar of this district is that Mr. Twitchell has few equals and no supervisors as a prosecutor in the territory. His arguments are logical, convincing and forcible. He is an orator, and before any jury he is a power which the best may fear. He seems to know every important point in his cases, and in the introduction of evidence before a jury he is a master hand. A prosecuting officer in this district has to meet in the forum of justice the ablest members of the bar of New Mexico, and when the efforts of the territory result in a conviction $p$ is not necessary to be said that the district attorney is worthy of praise for his success. Mr. Twitchell is a rising young man. His fortune is being made. Dame Fortune smiles upon him."
Last Sunday's Salt Lake Daily Tribune contains the complimentary notice given below of Fred Leonard who was brought up in this city and has many friends here. He has just been nominated on the liberal ticket for the office of assessor and collector of Salt Lake City. The Tribune says: "The Colorado contingent in Utah is very large, and there is not one in the whole land that will not swear by Fred Leonard. A fair sample of the man is the way he made his campaign. His only proposition was that the best man in each precinct should be selected at the primaries, and that he would take his chance with the others for final nomination. We would be glad if our morning contemporary would pursue him with the rest so viciously that the people would all have to make Fred Leonard's acquaintance; and if it will do that, we will promise it that the opposition candidate will not be in it when the votes shall be counted."

The Rosalte
But who wants a "tolerably" good egg? And there is a heap of trouble with a "tolerably" good lamp. There is one lamp good without the tolerable - THE ROCHESTER SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL, AND THE ROCHESTER will make the truth more fiercely. All metal, tough and seamless, and made in three pieces only, it is ABSOLUTELY SAFE and UNISEARABLE. Like Aladdin's of old, it is indeed a "wonderful lamp," for its marvelous light is purer and brighter than gas light, softer than electric light and more cheerful than either.

"Keep cool," said the burner to the oil fount. "Don't hug me so tight then," it replied. We heard their conversation, and so make our burner in two pieces, between which the air circulates freely, and our oil fount is cooler than that of any other lamp.

Do your duty by going to Topeka tonight. Enthusiasm which only a big crowd can create will be of great assistance to our orator.
CHALLISS, Shylock and Justice, and K. S. U.will all win tonight.
This day belongs to K. S. U.
THE Review made its appearance Friday and was up to its usual standard of literary merit.
THE College Life says that undoubtedly K. S. U. has the best yell of any college in the land.
If the judges in tonight's contest were Jews Emporia and K. U. would be sure of winning the first two places.
"Rip!'rah! roli-ka zan! Whoop'er up for the coming man," is the yell that has been suggested for the State Normal. ___
About two thousand students in a quiet and dignified city like Topeka will cause a commotion that will almost wake up the state dads.
McCook FIELD should be put in condition just as soon as the weather will permit. The proper officers should act on this matter immediately.
THE lady representative of the State Normal college takes for the subject of her oration, "The Coming Man." Of course she refers to Challiss.
THE organization of the Wichita University Extension society is now assured. Add Wichita to the list which now includes Kansas City, Topeka, Abilene and Olathe.
THE COURRIER's exchanges will be found on file in the reading room. Students who spend a few minutes among them each week will soon have a knowledge of the doings in the college world.
Both Kansas and Iowa are determined to win the Western InterState pennant next fall. At the latter place there are already forty applicants for positions on the team.—The Lasso.
"This space should have been filled by our Local Editor" is the amusing announcement that graced several columns of the College Life in its last issue. Presumably the Local Editor was "pied."
THE February Earlhamite contains an article by William Hill on a "Shorter College Course." This subject is undergoing much discussion in the east and it already has among its supporters many of the leading educators of the country.

THE February number of Seminary Notes came out last Friday. Besides the usual seminary reports, it contained an interesting and carefully written article by Prof. F. W. Blackmar on Indian Education and a sketch of the department of History in Harvard by Mr. Wm. Hill, a former K. U. boy. The editorial pages were unusually bright and interesting. This publication is receiving many handsome compliments from those who are interested in History and Sociology.
We are in receipt of the "Congress Edition" of the Sequoria. It gives a complete history of the University Congress of Leland Stanford jr. The congress is organized as "a hypothetical House of Representatives in which the members are apportioned to the several states upon the basis of representation in the national body, and the work is intended to conform as nearly as practicable to that of the original." A speaker, clerk and sergeant-at-arms are elected and such committees are appointed as are necessary to act upon bills presented, which are to embody ideas of national interest. It was the unanimous opinion of the Stanford students that more good would be derived from a congress than from a regulation literary society. The form adopted will also render them conversant
A few years ago class lines in the University were closely drawn. A student never thought of taking any work save with his own class. The increase in the number of organizations and studies, and the diversity of elective courses are slowly killing class spirit. No matter what the impulses may be now, it will never reach its old position. In time to come classes will be done away with entirely. But nothing will be lost. What is lost in one place will be gained in another.—S. U. I. Quill.
We have clipped the above because it voices our sentiments exactly. Very few people seem to realize the restrictions that are placed upon a college paper. Very often "that tired feeling" comes over the editorial writer when he sees what a limited field there is before him.
We are often puzzled to decide which subjects would be suitable for editorials in a college paper. It is a more difficult task than the inexperienced can imagine. Each week the space is to be filled with live matter. There are many questions discussed by our daily papers that cannot be touched upon in a college paper, as the telegraphic reports are always read by the students before their college weekly appears. It is also true they expect editorials on subjects that are being agitated by the college world, and it is seldom a single question is agitated by all colleges. A college paper cannot be run on the daily paper plan; hence it cannot assume a national character but must be filled with matter of a local character. The readers of college papers should consider these things and be satisfied or furnish an article occasionally, which exemplifies their literary taste.—College Life.
FIVE colleges and universities now publish daily papers, viz. Yale, Harvard, Michigan, Cornell and Brown. The Princetonian comes out three times a week, and the Pennsylvanian, of the University of Pennsylvania, twice a week.
SEVERAL of the college papers of the state are in favor of changing back to the old rule of holding the state contests in the different college towns in regular rotation instead of making Topeka the permanent meeting ground. We are in favor of Topeka for several reasons. It is the most central point being accessable to all the colleges, it offers the best facilities for the accommodation of the crowd, and there is less confusion and trouble in arranging for the contest, if always held in the same place. We will favor Topeka first, last, and all the time.
with the leading social and economic problems of government and with their practical treatment. We would most earnestly support any steps that might be taken towards the organization of such a congress, or if preferred, a moot senate, in our University. Our columns are open to those who have ideas on this subject and we would be pleased to hear from them.
We will venture a guess. Emporia, Baker and K. U. will win the first three places, but as to their rank, there's the question.
OUR reputation must be maintained. We must outnumber the other colleges two to one.

THE CONTEST.
Tonight the ninth annual oratorical contest of the Kansas InterCollegiate association will be held in Topeka. The representatives of the eight colleges and universities composing the association will meet in mortal combat. One orator will be made and seven will be unmade. It promises to be the hottest contest ever herd in the state. About three thousand students representing eight different colleges and letting forth eight different yells will take the capital city by storm. Of course K. U. will be there with the largest crowd and by far the loudest yell. J.M. Challiss will make a hard fight and he will have a grand support. All the orators are in good shape and each is confident of winning.
The program, with suitable music is as follows:
L H Barrect...The Majesty of the Law
Southwest Kansas College, Winteld
N P Willits..The ..minim Epochs in Progress
Baker University, Baldwin.
Hattie M May Campbell...The Managing Man
Kenneth School, School, Emporia.

[for Humanity]
Ottawa University, Ottawa.
V C Cook ..The Jews-Morning Purpose of
[Re-nationalization
College of Emuoria, Emporia.
A word as to the chances of the various contestants. The first speaker, as will be seen by the program, is Mr. L. H. Barret of Win field. Very little is known of his ability but he is unfortunate in not having the solid support of his college. We will rank him pretty well down in the list. The next speaker is Mr. N. P. Willits of Baker. He will have the "Baker style" of force and pitch which strongly resembles a cracked steam boat whistle, but notwithstanding this fault he will doubtless be well up in the race. Then comes Miss Hattie May Campbell of the Normal. From reports we learn that she is a fair talker but on general principles we will count her out entirely. Salina is represented by O. E Collins. Judging from the past record of that college we can safely place Mr. Collins in about fifth place. Mr. J. L. Poston represents Washburn. He is evidently a firm believer in the old adage, "All things come to him who waits," as he has been a regular orator in the local contest for several years and was never fortunate enough to win until this spring. He will have to seek solace in his adage again. Then "Our" Jim Challis steps forward and with his splendid oration, his magnificent voice and commanding presence he will be very close to first place when the decision is given. Challis is followed by Miss L. Chenoweth of Ottawa. Ottawa has always sent her representative as a matter of form and this year no exception will be made to the rule. (We mean due respect to the ladies but they can't possibly win.)
The last speaker, is Mr. V. C. Cook, of Emporia. As our Presbyterian friends have been looking forward to the twelfth of February as "a day of triumph and glory" they evidently have faith in Mr. Cook. We will be liberal, they stand a fighting chance.
The list is complete. After care fully looking over the field we consider just three persons in the race, Challis, Cook and Willits,and while it will be close between the three named we are confident that K.U.'s crimson will wave triumphantly in victory and Rock Cnalk will drawn out all opposition when the judges bring in their decision which will be, "J. M. Challis wins first place!"

Castoria.
"Custoria is an excellent medicine for children. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its good effect upon their children."
Dr. G. C. Osgood
Lowe', Mass.
- Custoria is the best remedy for children of which I am acquainted. I hq e day is not far distant when mothers will consider the real interest of their children, and use Custoria instead of the various quick nostrums which are destroying, the throat. I give them a smooth syrup and other hurried agents down their throats, thereby sending away to pronounce graves.*

"Our physicians in the children's department have spoken highly of their experience in their outside practice with Castoria and although we only have among our medical supplies what is known as regular products, yet we are free to confess that the merits of Castoria has won us to look well favor upon it."

THE LAW OF DIVORCE.
A Splendid Address by Chief Justice Horton Before the Law School
Chief Justice A. H. Horton of the Supreme court of Kansas addressed the students of the Law School last Tuesday in University Hall upon the "Law of Divorce." The Law School is especially fortunate in being able to secure such prominent men, so learned and well qualified to ably present a chosen subject, as is Judge Horton, and his address was listened to with closest attention for over an hour.
After paying a compliment to the University and the rapid advance made by the Law School in the past few years, the snooker called attention to the fact that divorces and divorce laws now occupy a large share of public notices and receive not only the attention of the law maker but also of society and of the church. Especially is this when it is noticed that the ratio of increase in divorces exceeds that of population by 16 per cent. Much of this is due to the fact that nearly every state has laws of marriage and divorce peculiar to itself. Marriage in some states is by simple verbal agreement, while in others it is only by the strictest conformity to statutory regulation. And so with divorce there is the same lack of uniform laws. In some states one year's residence is necessary to entitle one to sue for a divorce, as in Kansas, while in South Dakota only a three months' residence is necessary, and that short time seems at times to be evaded. In New York there is only one ground for divorce, that of adultery. In Kansas there are ten grounds for divorce, namely, bigamy, abandonment for one year, adultery, impotency, cruelty, fraudulent contract, habitual drunkenness, neglect of duty and felony. In Kansas it is bigamy if a person securing a divorce marries again within six months.
In this state the common law still holds in record to marriage, and that relationship may be contracted simply by mutual consent of the parties, although they are subject to punishment at under the statutes if no licensi is secured. Even the wife may retain her maiden name if she desires and she may hold property equally with her husband and may legally contract with him. The women of Kansas are especially favored by the laws and "the burden of a common ignorance and of a common prejudice has been removed and the position of woman has been advanced to its proper place in making her the equal of man, so that womanhood, with the approbation of all, may perform its noblest rights and its divinely destiny."
The divorce laws of Utah requiring no residence of the plaintiff have been held by our courts not to grant a valid divorce since the Utah courts in such cases acquired no jurisdiction. The same question will probably arise in the South Dakota divorces now being easily obtained. There has been much agitation to secure uniform divorce laws in the United States but so far without any result. Such laws undoubtedly would be beneficial.
The speaker in closing strongly advocated the plan of having the county attorney present at each divorce trial to take the evidence and to proceed, in all cases where crime was proven, to see that guilty parties are punished.

Commissioner Betton's Address
Last Friday afternoon the University Hist. recited us or met in regular session Prof Blackmar presiding. After the report of the last meeting was read Hon F. H Betton, state labor commission, presented the subject of "The Work of Burrows of Labor Statistics."
He said that Massachusetts led the world in the matter of labor bureauus, having found hers in 1809. Since then the work has spread rapidly, Kansas belong the fifteenth to wheel into line.
At the last annual convention of the officers of these burens the national labor commissioner stated that he was preparing an index to the one hundred and fifty volumes gotten out by the various state commissioners. The index will contain some 400 pages and will enable the students to find just where the subjects he is studying are treated of. It is regarded as a book highly valuable. The Kansas Bureau was formed "to collect, assort, systematize and present in annual reports to the governor to be by him biennially transmitted to the legislature, statistical details relating to all departments of labor and industrial pursuits in the state, especially in their relation to the commercial, industrial, social, educational and sanitary condition of the laboring classes." The law also empowers the officers of the bureau to compel employees to give the desired information under cath. In some states the commission supervises the inspection of mines and factories. Mr. Betton has found the condition of Kansas factories very fair.
He spoke of some of the principal subjects included in the statistical investigations and prominently among them wages, cost of living, arbitration strike, home life of employees, etc. In 1883 the Massachusetts bureau sent a commission to England which found, after full investigation, that on the whole the Massachusetts laborer had much the advantage, earned better wages, lived better and saved more.
A friend of the speaker visited England and toound farm hands working for $5.75 and board per month. A collar factory paid from $1.29 to $6.90 per week, while nearly all provisions were high, clothing was cheap. The tendency of the Bureaux seems to be toward more thorough investigation in purely statistical lines and their reports are coming more into general use. They are regarded as a great help to us as a nation and several European countries, notably France are copying after us. England and Belgium have bureaus which are, however, inferior to the American.
The paper closed with some information concerning the special features of the Kansas re ort for 91 among which railroad employees, child labor and union compared with nonunion men are prominent features.

Judge Thacher, who is soon to address the admiration on "Labor in Europe," was present and made a few remarks on the subject of foreign labor, Mr. Bettton on being asked about wages in Kansas said he thought there had not been any material fall in the past few years. It was also stated that in Massachusetts the ten hour law had proved successful, better and more work being done in ten hours than formerly in eleven and a half.
