says: "The second speaker was
Missouri's s representative, Mr.. Xenr
ophon P. Wil1ey of Central College
His subject was "The Philosophy
of Inequality" which he handled in
very mastery manner. His ora'
ton was an attack on the funda-
mental principle of both anarchy
and socialism--that men are by
nature equal and should have their
conditions equalized. Showing that
men are by nature unequal, Mr..
Whitley proved that the true solu
ton of the problem is to give to all
equal privilege to exercise natural
ability. He is a very strong rea-
soner, very forceful speaker, and
has bright future"

of an eminent band,master were Sc

purchased. The boys adopted
strict code of laws governing the
organization and begun to develop
their talents. The concert Thursday
evening proved to the appreciative
public that their efforts have been
crowned with meritorious success. 1t

that these concerts are to be given
every Thursday evening until the
last of August, first on one corner
OF the Public Square and then on
another. The Mexico Band ranks
among the best in the West. 1t took
bard work as well as hard cash to
develop such band. You wouldn't
think it had spent 50, 600, but it
has. 1t is nothing less than a Mex
leo enterprise, and it didn't cost no.
