AN attempt ia being made ju3t now to play party politics with the tariff question, and its the Democrats who are playing the game among themselves, to the enjoyment of their republan opponents. Mr.

Now comes Mr. Bryan and demands that his friends vote against this measure for the reason that any duty is left at all on the raw mate rial. In otjier words Mr.

Bryan doesent object to a duty on the manufactured article as being necessary for reve in a verdict of acquittal. J. W.

Now for some daring for lower duties all along the line. Interviewers wanted to entangle him in the Bryan-Underwood controversy but Mr.

Wilson seems to know when a gun is loaded. The street car company wrapped each of the iron pillars on the business street with the University colors. That was a huge job and showed the proper fish. They also testified to seeing the defendants around at the time but the jury would not convict. The other cases pending were therefore dismissed and the fish There are no woollen goods made in America entirely aw is likely a dead letter for glad this action was taken because it would have been a source of friction between our city ''and the State University which should be avoided.

The Democrat has nothing but the kindest of feelings for both the High -School and the University and again suggests that some plan might be promulgating whereby the School of Educarion could get the use of our High School building for the purpose of establishing a model High School entirely independent at which the attendance would be voluntary. Such a school could be conduced eutirely under the control of the University and in no way interfere with our city school. Its sessions could be held evenings, and we believe that many students employed in day time should take advantage of it. Sheriff Banning went to Kansas City last Monday afternoon and found the gold watch that had been stolen freni the W. S.

The rings and chain stolen at the same tune were not Douglas Caunty. 1 of domestic wool, at least none that you and myself would care to wear. The reason for this is that our home clip is too coarse and must be mixed with foreign wools before a cloth of proper texture can be placed on the market.

Tne manufacturer therefore wants raw wool admitted free of all import duty but asks that the duty on the manufactured product be retained. He gets a double advantage public spirit on their part toward the University. One must recognize the fact that manager Skinner does nothing in a halfhearted manner. We met some people on the street this week whose faces were by this method. He can still control the home market by virtue of a "Gentlemen's agreement" with his fellow Eudora Citizen Dead.

Wm. J. Bartz age 69 of Eudora died last Saturday night. He leaves a widow and ten children of whom three live in Lawrence. Funeral was held at Eudora from the German M.

Some 400 young men and women received their degrees, in fact 394 of them who proudly marched up the platform and down again before the 5000 cheering, sweltering humanity. It was a proud day for the members of the class of 191 1, for their pai-ents, for the men in charge of our greatest educational institutional in the state of Kansas. The address to the class was made by prof. Small of the' Chicago University and was well received. His subject was "Modernism" and subject matter as well as the delivery were far above the aver-aga ot annual commencement ftd dresses.

As one Alumnus stated after the meeting the Professor spoke the "Kansas" language and the people understood him. This has not ajways been the case. The musiG was rendered by the University band under the direction of Prof. McCanlesa and was a credit to the musical talent among the student body; The dinner served after the closing exercises was also a. most happy event.

None of us believe in free trade, all of us believe in sufficient tariff to finance the national government. The only question at issue then is how to impose this tariff. Surely, we people in rtansas should stand together -for our Kansas interests.
