DEBS TO VISIT KANSAS.
Re VIII Come to Topeka During the
Fail Festival

Eugene " Debs. the labor leader and
agitator, has signihed his intention OF
coming to Topeka and delivering an
address to worldngmen, particularly
railroad men, during the week OF festiv
tiles This Information comes in let
ter to Harry Chapman, secretary of the
American Railway Union of this city.
Mr- Debs is at present engaged i'm the
reorganization of the a. r. u. ia the
eastern states
Contrary to the general opinion. the
A- A2. e. lodge which was formed in this
city during the strike of 1894. is still in
existence and has q membership OF So
The membership fee of 81 per year is
collected and forwarded to the national
headquarters of the order for the pur-
pose of aiding i'm maintaining the gem
eral order. but no meetings are held
Secretary Chapman says that it was de
clded 70 hold no further meetings part
Ivy for the purpose of preserving the at
most secrecy as to mem bershfp and
partly on account of the expense for
nan rent, as many OF the members are
ellher out Of employment or working
for small wages.
Mr. Chapman also says that the mem
bership at present does not include a
single railroad empIOye
Since the strike of 1894 the ritual of
the order has been changed" said Sec
reJai'y Chapman, and it would now be
4llncull Tor e man TO enter the order
Tor the purpose of playing traitor.
Through the laxness of the former rit-
ual 1T was possible for traitors to enter

and that was partly the cause Of our
defeat.
Although the order lis rapidly in
creaslng i'm the east, SO far as 7 know
there IS no movement toward its re-
organization in this state. At present
4 believe it would be almost impossible
70 include the railroad men of this
state in the membership of the order
and I place no reliance in the report
that 100 members were initiated a En-
por1a- think it probably means that

The railroad men Of Kansas are
afraid to join the A r. u. The railway

be even limited at The plan is there

ployes Of other roads, and when this is
accomplished the Santa FTe employees

Difference Of Opinion.

The petition of the Topeka singers to
the executive committee of the Kansas
Musical Jubilee to ask judges to use
the per centage plan this year, re
ceived a favorable answer from Man
ager HOagland of Hutchinson.
1t has also called forth a protest from
mr.. Lombard, manager of the normal
medical course of which Mr.. Seeboech.
one Of the judges, is principal.
Mr. Lombard says. 1T seems to me
utterly childish to make use Of numer-
ais in designating excellence in any
musical performance"
In school examinations, where ques-
lions are propounded which admit of
only a correct answer, the percentage
of correct answers is readily figured,
but in musical performances the case
is very different There it is only re-
lative exceIlence-one being the best,
another next best, and so on If per
lection was represented by 100, and
that standard was to be based on a
Patti or a SeebOech, contestants would
have reason to complain 1T would be
interesting to know how a judge
would indicate the amount of loss or
gain in execution, style or expression
which would be truly represented by 5
points. The fact is that the judges in
musical contests only give their indi-
vidual opinions Of relative excellence.
but this is made valuable when the
weak and strong points in each per
Torrance are clearly stated. as was
done by Mr.. Seeboech last year. ANY
other method seems to me but a relic
of the country ''singin skeul," and I be-
lieve if our friends who signed this pc
tition should give the matter further
consideration they would acknowledge
they had acted hastily.
