BROKEN BOW, Neb, Nov 25.-(speclaI.)
Prof. Ulrich sorenson, Of aoroplane fame,
whose remarkable drop through the air Of
$500 feet will be remembered, has given up
aerial navigation and, after Thanksgiving,
will settle on earth for an indefinite per-
iod and become a humble tiIler OF the soil.
The cause Of this change became ap-
parent at the court house yesterday, when
the professor was caught red-handed in
the act OF taking out a marriage license
for himself and Miss Cora Talbot OF

A STUDENT SENATE.

There is much talk of student sen
ate. Even some representatives have
been elected to one. But Just what it
is or is to be few seem to have a clear
idea.
In the first place. it cannot become an
official discipline committee The Board
Of Curator> are given control of the
university by the State Constitution.
The present discipline committee is its
representative in looking after the con-
duct OF the students. 1t i beyond rea-
s"a to suppose that the hoard would 50
far forget it, responsibility as to put
this duty into the hands OF the stu
dents. \ student senate could not be-
c"me an official discipline committee.
But If Il senate of the students did cX-
i-t. it could have a part in the con-
>idrration OF the questions that come
before the committee: it could and
would have large disciplinary powers.
lt> "rcatct power in this direction
might come with the creation of those
things which would do away with the
need OF discipline.
There are many ways aside from this
in which Il student senate might be a
good thing. 1t would he Il permanent
committee of students and aS such it
would be able To represent the students
ut any time that the interests of the
students might be at stake.
A. The representatives of the stu
dents. it would he able la establish de
>irable conditions that do not now eX-
i>t.
The University of Kansas has just or
ganized such i senate. I'm its constitu-
tion. il i stated that il will have gen
"ral control "f all undergraduate af-
fairs. 1t mcan> that the students will
have control of their own affairs.
Indeed. Il representative senate would
b" Il great thin" for the students here
II would he a good thing to have 4
mass meeting and talk ii over ANYWAY.

HART LYMAN
ON NEWSPAPERS

ii u
ii York Tribune, in delivering the
second Bromley lecture in
LampsOn Lyceum. New Haven. had this
to say among many interesting re.
marks:
Perhaps there was never better
time than now to begin work on
newspaper. In the near future higher
value may be put on quality. The
great reduction in the price of print
ing paper which followed the employ
mcnt of new processes OF manufacture
made the cost of the white sheet on
which news is printed relatively unm.
portant.
The result was furious competi-
tion in the size of newspapers and an
infinite multiplication of their contents:
it came almost to seem as if merit
Were thought To reside in the mere
number of pages supplied. especially on
Sunday. independently of what those
pages contained.
The price of print paper is now high
CT than ii was. is rising. and. perhaps.
Will never be 50 low again This is not,
I'm my opinion. because trust. either
odiou- or benevolent. has monopoiized
the instruments of production. but be-
cause the price of ingredients has risen
in degree corre>pondin" to the actual
or prospective scarcity. and because Ia

have deliberately invited by selling
Their finished product AT Il price too far

Il am. If not convinced ut least
hopeful that the next notable change
IN the newspaper world will bc return
To smaller papers. in which. however,

IMAGINE that eX-President ROose-
welt will make his starting point
NIombasa. and that from MOmbasa he
will probably travel a certain distance
on the Uganda railroad, and then strike
off toward the north to see what he
can find there in the way of interesting
big game.
The human Inhabitants of this part
of East Africa mainly belong to the
fine. handsome Nasal race and the peo-
pies of Nandi and Suk stock tclosely
allied in racial origin to the Nasal,
while in the coast regions bordering the
Victoria Nyanza there are a few Moi
ic and Bantu negroes.
Lake Naivasha. one of the lakes OF
the Rift Valley, is probably the center
of a district where Mr.. Roosevelt Will
spend some time. because there hre
some very interesting things to be seen
and possibly some remarkable animals
to be obtained there. The western side
of Lake Naivasha has picturesque
which have to be ascended
by the Uganda railway, further north
than Lake Naivasha, at considerable
and expense. Here the rail-
road is carried to an altitude of $500
feet before it begins to descend the
western slope of the plateau.
