In another column will be round a somewhat lengthy report of the meeting of the Fhilological Club Friday evening. The amount of space given is, however, fully paid for by the interest of the topics discussed.

After the regular program, according to our reporter an informal discussion was held upon revival or rather perhaps tipon the continuance of poetry. Naturally enough the talk drifted into Kansas poetry. The "SunfioAvers" were spoken of and that too without reference to tho biding and much hope was expressed for the future of poetry in Kansas. There was indeed in the tone of the dis cussion something which could have made even the hearts of Preutis, Wilder and all of the good old Kansas cnthusias- tics quicken with pride. We can al most near some of them say "Kansas Poetry? Why yes.

loads and loads of it. With wheat at a dollar a bushel and 1,800,000 people who could not write DOetrv." But nevertheless no oue will 'be more surprised at the recognization of a possible Kansas poetry by the State University than these same original Kan sans. For the University, with many thoughtful men all over the State, has paid, until recently, very little attention to the real estate rhymes which have thrilled taxpayers of the commonwealth. Some of them bound in book form were on our shelves but were unclassified and generally unread. About a year ago the librarian, with with the Herd Bjok and several volumes of Agricultural reports as a nucleus, established a Kansas shelf to which the works of Prentis.Ware.

Steele, T.Brower, Peacoek, Wilder, Mrs. Hudson, Mr3. Humphrey and others have been gathered. An effort is being made to put on this Kansas shelf every Kansas book of any importance and donations of such books are gratefully received. These books may WILL A WIUTIS.

Why don't we ever have any theatricals in K. S.

Harvard has her Greek plays, aud other eastern colleges do something of this sort. Michigan University has just estabished a chair to be devoted to the subject of play-writing. We surely have talent enough here if it only could be utilized. If a play were gottou up and properly managed, it would be very interesting ond of a great deal of benifit. Dramatic work in connection with the literary societies, would be found extremely interesting and would do a great deal toward keeping up the society interest.

If it was too much of au undertaking for one society to give a whole play once during the school year, one act or scene from some standard work, well acted would be a great addition to the cut and dried program of the regular literary society. This feature of giving a play once during the year and scenes from plays at some of the meetings was adopted last year by the German society, and from all reports proved very successful. Unity Club has carried out such a program also, and if Orophilian and Athenaeum should adopt this feature it would be looked back upon as one of the most pleasant feature of the society life. As Athletics will not occupy us during the winter months, why not direct some of our surplus energy to this hind of work. We could rely on the faculty in selecting good works and in getting them up, aud a good play well given could be made the event of the winter.

Is not this worth thinking of?

Reform Tariff Club vs. Repub- Mean Club. Lust Wednesday evening at the court house the two clubs held a joint debate on the question "Resolved, That the Protective Tariff is abenefit to the wage-worker." The affirmative was led by C.

E. Street, who proceeded to show by statistics the financial condition of the United States compared with that of England in 1870 and 1880. He then compared the wages paid in the two countries and after a twenty-five discussion of facts and figures closed with a comparison of living and wages in Austria with living and wages in the United States. Mr. Street was followed by II.

F. M. Bear on the negative side of the question. Mr. Bear said that the wages paid the laborer depended upon supply and demand, that protective tariff helps the manufacturer, but the lactones employ foreign labor at CO cents per day.

"England pays 45 per cent more for labor than protected Germany, and 65 per cent more than protected France, while higher protected Mexico and higher protected Russia pay lower wages than either of the other countries, and China, a country that has had Protective Tariff for 200 years pays 20c per day for common workmen and 40c per day for skilled labor." Mr, Bear enlarged upon the increase of wages in the United States from 1850 to 1800, read statistics of wages paid in several occupations showed that wages in the same industries differed in the different parts of the United States. Mr. Baer received applause from the old and young, men and women, in the audience. J. Wade said the price of wages in the United States in 1880 was $1.00 per day while in free trade Norway it was 7 cents.

He said that his opponent's statement that we had free labor was no argument against Protective Tariff, but according to this statement we ought also to have protection on imported labor. He said that protection gives varieties of employments, making better opportunities for men to become skilled workmen. H. E. Copper continued comparison between United States and China.

Made mention of the panic in the United States in 1873, and closed with statistical statements on immigration to the United States. Mr. Wayde in a closing speech of ten minutes referred his opponent to Free Trade Ethiopio.re-dhcuss- ed the immigration question and compared the imports and exports of the United States during the fifteen years prior to 1861 and the fifteen years following 1873. The meeting adjourned to meet one week from Saturday of this week. The average American liver, says an authority.ois always more or less out of order, which is hard on the American liver.

Supply yourselves with all livah" remedies at Raymond Dick's "Blue Mortar" drug store ead would not como lo it has come like Mahomet to the mountain and the senti moiit voiced by Prof. Robinson Friday evening when he said that Kansans gen erally returned to Kansas, was uttered by Senator Ingalb fifteen years ago in the old Kansas magazine. "Kansas exer cises the same fascination over nio that she does over all who have ever yielded to her spell. There are some women whom to have-once loved render it impossible to love As the "grey and melon- cholymain" to thesailor.as the desert to tho Ucduoin.as the Alps to tho mountain eer, so is Kansas to all her children.

No one ever felt any enthusiasm about Wisconsin, Indiana or Michigau. The idea is preposterous. They are great pros perous communities but their inhabitants can remove and never desire to return. They hunger for horizon. They mav have new homes without the vxaladie.

And if such is conceeded to be a fact by intelligent men and women if there really i3 a Kansas spirit, some one will in time receive its inspiration and a Kansas poetry vill come forth.

POLITICAL SCIENCE The first meeting of the Political Science Club under the new scheme of evening session, was held last Friday evening in Prof. Canfield's lecture room. An unusually large number were present, which indicates that the work is gaining in influence and insures the future permanence and success of the club in its chosen field of investigation. The program rendered was as follows: United states enate Martindalo United States Ilouso F. O.

Martindalo. and on behalf of the House by Mr. Schroeder. The present session has been the longest continuous one on record and. as is usual previous to adjournment of Congress other topics will be substituted for the work hitherto devoted to the Senate and House, J.

A. Mushrush reviewed the changes in the general financial and industrial aspect of the country for the past two This report embodied all labor trouble, strikes, changes in the markets, condition of trade, rates of interest, that affect the business world. Miss Pugh reviewed an article in a re cent issue of the Political Science Quar terly on the relation of the "State to the Poor." The writer maintained that all the laws that have been enacted for the benefit of the poor have resulted in ultimate failures and though they seemiugly are fit subjects for philanthropic legis lation, no satisfaction benefit to the society would be derived. The Control of Immigration" was the subject of another review by Mr. White, protraying the evils arising from the continuance of an indiscriminate immigration policy, the proportion of the native to foreign born citizens in this country was given and recommended restrictive legislation thereon.

We promise you that future meetings of the club will be made as interesting as possible and though you cannot become members, visitors will always be made welcome. The time of meeting has been changed to 8 o'clock. TnK lack of a thorough knowledge of parliamentary law is-very noticable in all the meetings of students. In the liter ary societies i3 the place to get your practice. Therefore, for that purpose, if for no other, join either Orophiliau or Athaeueum.

The tennis season ha3 nearly gone The rackets will soon be laid away and that ravishing tennis suit in which some fair maid has sauntered down the street, only to drive the arrow deeper into the heart of guileless youth, will be seen no more, alas, until the gentle zephyrs blow again. The calves in the lot next to Luther's will now roam undisturbed and commence to fatten. In the park all will soon be quiet. The autumn leaves driven by the chill November blast, will scurry across the tennis ground, unob structed by the Whit (e) man's tread on the two feet of verdant Snow. The gracefull Reed, nipped by the cold blast, will no more pipe his reedy lay of "Love all Game, and Deuce." The gushing Brooks will then be frozen o'er and the Shell (a) bar(g) Iters delicate tones will then be 'heard no more.

The playful canter of the Fox and the lofty tread of the Do-Hcta Bear will linger long on the rozen air but at last all will be silent there. And the whispering leaves will breath fourth a song and this is what they will say, Alack-a-day! Alack -a day! hope that spring is far away. The Faculty have made a long step in the right direction in throwing open the University to the students, on Friday evening, and the first two evenings have fully demonstrated the wisdom of the act. The next step which they should take is to keep the library open longer Saturday. As it i3, the opening of the library on Saturday is of practically no benefit.

It is open such a short time that few students come up at all on Saturday. Opening the library all day Saturday would be of especial advantage to those students who are doing special work, or to those who are writing theses in which they have to do considerable reading. As it is they have to take the time during the week, and always at the expense of some other study. It may be said that this would be imposing too much extra duty in the library. If the librarian had to be there all of that time, it might be true, but it is not necessary.

Some of the upper classmen who are acquainted with the library could be found who would be willing to take charge of the library on Saturday, and relieve the librarian of any extra trouble. We hope the Faculty may see it advisable to inaugurate this plan. Now that the base ball season is over, K. S. U.

students should turn their attention to something to take its place. Many substiiutcs might be mentioned, but probably the most practical is foot ball. It is understood that several of our neighboring colleges have football teams and if K. S. U.

would organize a team, we might have some exciting contests before the winter is over. Each of the classes might get up teams and have some inter-class games. Or, each of the fraternities might have a fraternity team, and play inter-fraternity games. Any arrangement or any game that miht be suggested would be preferable to the usual languor in regard to out door sports. Let some one set the movement on foot, and see if we cannot organize several good teams in the next month.

K. S. U. has plenty of material and it only remains with h'er students, whether.
