The artists that appeared in concert and the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra contributed to make the eighth annual Music festival the best in the history of the school. The University of Kansas should be proud of the soloists from the department of music that appeared on the program, Mrs. Blanche Lyons, who sang an arioso from "Madam Butterfly" at the concert last evening was in excellent voice and probably pleased the audience better than upon any other previous appearance. Prof. Wort Morse, who is head of the department of violin, played Concerta No 4 by Vieuxtemps. To those who are familiar with the violin it is realized that this is an extremely difficult selection requiring for a pleasing rendition great technique and sympathy. The execution of this concerto by Prof. Morse was pleasing and delightful. The University is indeed fortunate to have at the head of its violin department one who is recognized as among the best in the United States, and who has al ready received offers to travel with the best orchestras that now tour the country. The accompaniments by Miss Greisinger and Miss Cooke were pleasing both to the audience and especially to the soloists themselves. To Dean C. S. Skilton is due to a great extent the success of the festival. It was through his efforts that the orchestra and artists were secured and he spared no effort to secure the best that could be obtained. --why Emma Goldman should not have her say at the present time. The doctrines she advances will have to stand on their own merits for they will be subjected to critical examination. A University audience can be depended upon to "spot" what is visionary and untrue. The policy of suppressing the anarchist propaganda has given to the public the impression that there is an essential danger in the doctrine which is not really there. In connection with the letter sent out by Governor Stubbs to the Regents asking upon whose authority Dean Templin's statement was made, it is well to remember that from the first it was intended only as a plan which the Dean would present to the Regents and urge its adoption. Some of the upper classmen during the past few days seem to be imbued with an idea that a freshman is a freshman, and as such should be severely beaten, whether he possesses a cap or not. If some of these so-called seekers for higher learning would stop to consider that the breaking of a half-inch board over a freshman is apt to cause permanent injury and that the same vigorous wielding of the paddle is not absolutely necessary to make a freshman wear a cap, there would at least be a little judgment used by these men. A discreet use of the paddle will work no harm, but the actions of some of the students yesterday was deplorable. --why Emma Goldman should not have her say at the present time. The doctrines she advances will have to stand on their own merits for they will be subjected to critical examination. A University audience can be depended upon to "spot" what is visionary and untrue. The policy of suppressing the anarchist propaganda has given to the public the impression that there is an essential danger in the doctrine which is not really there. Emma Goldman, the Anarchist will speak before a University club when she visits Lawrence tomorrow. Not many years ago such a thing would have shocked the public. Nowadays it attracts no attention. Miss Goldman addressed large audiences at the Universities of Wisconsin and Michigan this year. There may be times when the violent preaching of anarchism should be suppressed, but there is no reason Expensive magazine and other advertising ret resents a large proportion of the cost of high priced candy. Kress candy is sold on a basis of profit similar to what the grocer sells sugar—no advertising to pay for. The average cost per pound for advertising some well known candies is in excess of the price at which we sell our candies. All materials used in Kress Candy, such as chocolate, sugar, flavoring, etc., are as pure and free from adulteration as those used in candy sold for eighty cents a pound. PURITY The new State Commission for higher education ought to be a success. The plan of co-ordinating the work of the three state schools cannot help but create a greater efficiency in the work that each school is doing. At the meeting held this week plans were made to investigate the conditions and to decide on some definite action to be taken later. But one of the most significant things of the whole meeting was the stand of Governor Stubbs for the levying of a special tax for school purposes. If his plan is carried out the three state schools will have definite and fixed incomes that will insure a growth for them that will be in proportion to the growth of the state. The U. S. Government (since 1906) aids us in maintaining purity in candy. Kress Candy is as pure and wholesome as any candy selling for eighty cents or a dollar a pound. Jot this down on the list of important We insist upon and make thorough investigations to see that the formula for each kind of candy conforms to the requirements of the Pure Food Law, which prohibits the use of any other than pure and wholesome ingredients, providing a heavy penalty for any violations of the Pure Food Law. and get one of their English American Sack Suits. $15, $20 and $25 the price.

When Homer first set out to write, His modesty was such That, though his stuff was pretty good It never caught on much. It never caught on litch. Until one day a friend remarked. Until one day a friend remarked, "Old man, if you are wise. You'll drop the shrinking violent style And start to advertise." he took the tip. The Argus Mat Next week came out with this: Olympic Games, What Homer Thinks, Exclusive Chat. (Don't Miss.) He gave his views on every point That vexed the Grecian mind; His name each morning in the press; You never failed to find. So when the Odyssey appeared, It sold like anything. The Spartan serial rights brought in the ransom of a king And Homer fingering his checks, Went out and slow, it said. Two oxen to the god of booms Before he went to bed. —London Globe. --in the Student District. WM, LA COSS. REMINISCENCES. --in the Student District. WM, LA COSS. Excerpts from the University Courier, April 10, 1885. Have you joined the militia? Curry has a new pair of cuffs black ones. What the Courier would like to know. If our Board of Regents isn't one to be proud of? If the Delta Gammas are nearly ready to come out from sub rosa? If the law department should't boom next year? Isn't it strange that electricity being understood, men should make light of it. As usual there is but little athletic spirit in the University of Kansas. Our young politicians failed to do their usual work in the city elections. Miss Alice Cummings will make the Nortonville youths happy for a few days. Professor Carruth is ornamenting his walls with pictures of the alumni. He already has a large collection. Cyrus Crane and Denton Dunn occupied their vacant hour Wednesday in driving cattle from the campus. Unless some move is taken in the next week by the officers of the Athletic association for the redemption of debts contracted last spring with the business men in Lawrence, the Courier, for the benefit of such creditors, will publish their names. For some of these debts the creditors paid cash to Eastern clothing houses for uniforms, etc., ordered. The bills should and must be paid. Protsch Spring Suiting CHAS. C.
