There is nothing the Kansas dem
ocracy needs more at this particular
time than few competent leaders
who have political convictions that
are not subordinate TO desire for Of
fee. The party needs reorganization
and rehabilitation Now is the time
for men like w. G. Perry and w. Fl.
Rossington to come to the 'front.'
Larned Eagle-Optic.
THERE is nothing some of the So
called Kansas democrats need so much
as now as the true spirit of democra
cy. When such men as the editor of
the Eagle-Optic, w. @. Perry and w.
81. Rossington, who aided in and now
rejoice at the election of the republi :
can candidate for president, over such
leader as William Jennings Bryan,
have repented of their late sins in
sackcloth and ashes, and have proven
by their loyalty that they ARE demo.
Gratis, then they may be permitted to
follow the real leaders who have al
ways proven themselves loyal to the

shady methods of controlling elections,
and We believe that two years of Gov,
ernor Leedy's administration will
prove beyond question that no mistake
was made in turning the state over to-
the reform party.
We believe the incoming state adj
ministration will give Us long delayed
but badly needed remedial legislation.
We believe our railroad freight laws
will be adjusted with justice to thesmall
shipper as we'll as the large shipper;
that what good laws we now have will
be made effective. We also look to
see large number of useless expenses
cut off; unnecessary boards abolished;
more economy used in all expendi-
lures, and less of the hollow show and
personal aggrandizement that has
been conspicuous with the Morrill, ad.
ministration. We hope to see the
proper steps taken to revise the state
constitution SO that many of the ridic-
ulous laws now encumbering our
statute books may be wiped out.
The republican press of Kansas will
ridicule and malign every act of the
Leedy administration without stint,
but we believe that justice will be done
the whole people whether the republi-
cans like it or not. The leaders of
that party, abetted and aided by the
corporations, will condemn all things
done by the new administration, but
We hope and believe our populist
friends will go ahead in the straight
and narrow way of justice and pay no
attention to the opposition's criticism.
By doing this they will gain the re-
spect and future support of the masses
of people of all parties.
In Barton county we have a new
set of officers whose ability to ELL the
several positions to which they have
been elected is questioned by ne man.
Their political opponents would
possibly two exceptions made
as good officers had they been elected.
While some. men on the opposing
ticket, and their friends for them, re-
eorted to upmanly and unfair methods
to secure their election, such methods
did not prevail, and disclosure of
them would now do no good. In
future elections s1ch acts will be re-
membered, however, and will work to
continued defeat of their promoters

IT TAKES just as much and as good
collateral to secure a loan now as it
did before Major McKinley's election;
you don't pay any less interest, and
cannot get money any easier. That
great confidence" game that was
worked so successfully on the people
benefits no one but the professional
confidence men who worked it. The
unfortunate thing about the whole
business is that not only the fellows
who were worked" on that 'sconfi-
dence" racket will suffer, but all
others who refused to be caught.

Daniel Finlayson of '98. Three young
ladies', Miss Reigelhutl and Miss Bon
ham of '97 and Miss Linscott of '99,
were SO nearly equal that the Ward
scholarship was divided into two parts
and a third prize of fifty dollars (50),
magnanimously contributed by Presi-
dent Stubbs and Prof Levers, was
given.
Cheer after cheer and yell after yell
showed the interest of the students and
their class pride in the victories gained.
The Sophomores carried their Dan
down town on their shoulders.
The music for the occasion a piano
duette by Misses Williams and Culp,
vocal solo by Miss Stanaway, and violin
solos by Mr.. Shultz were all enjoyable.
In the evening the Seniors of the Col
lege and Normal School gave farewell
party to their friends in the gymnasium.
1t was, indeed, charming sight. The
floor was crowded and all the young
faces beamed with pleasure and delight.
Thus closed the most successful year
the University has known. The average
attendance during the term has been
325.
The University is now on such broad

The beautiful evening brought with it
the Commencement exercises of the
State Normal School. How charmingly
sweet and interesting those eighteen
Young ladies appeared, framed by halo
OF class and college colors, can only be
imagined by those who were not fortu-
nate enough to be present.
President Stubbs made mastery ped
gogical address on the subject of "Indi-
vidnality.' The earnestness and sin
cerity OF his words together with his
personal magnetism held the audience
spell bound. Judge A. Z. Cheney gave
the "Class Address" followed by the
Presentation of Diplomas" by the
President. One OF she most charming
features of the evening was the singing

Thursday proved to be an ideal Com

10 o'clock the gymnasium was well filled
to honor the occasion. Hon. w. E. f.

The dignified Class of '96 in cap and
gown occupied the front seats. Before
commencing the exercises the room
reverberated with the enthusiastic yels
of College and Glass.
After few words Of welcome Hon. w.

of the occasion DR.. Mckenzie of San

dress delivered in such an eloquent man
ner sank deeply into the heart OF every
listener present. His every word OF
sympathy with the young spirits about
him, must have elevated the aspiration
in each young heart, to do nobly and
well.
President Stubbs then conferred the
degree on the graduates and presented
them with their diplomas.
The Patterson and Ward scholarships
, of one hundred dollars ($l00) each, were
next awarded. The Patterson scholar
