benehts OF experiments in every de-
partment of TIE school go to the state.
The experience OF years Ct investiga-
ton. together with the well equipped
men the university sends out into
the state, pays the people far larger
returns than the expense OF running
the school.

"Eeat Kansas"

The following poem was read by DR..
J. A. Gibson at the football mass meet
ing in Ire University Of Missouri audi
tOrum last night:
The shades of night were falling fast,
When through Western city past
a dog. whose name was Cyanide,
4 button to his collar tied
Beat Kansas
His tail Iurled up, his ears hung down,
His coat was trimmed in golden brown;
His eyes glowed like living spark;
At every leap he gave bark,
Beat Kansas"
He saw through windows all alight,
The household fires CLEAN warm and
bright,
But rushing onward through the dark
He only gave savage bark.
Beat Kansas"
IlOlt lIol " WILL Ile Olu lildl
Our Tigers can't come out ahead;
Too many times in vain they've tried"
But still that savage bark replied,
Beat Kansas"
oh, stay" the maiden said, "and rest"
And clutched him wildly to her breast.
He struggled from her tender clasp,
And tiercely answered, with gasp,
Beat Kansas"
Beware the pass, the on-side kick,
Beware of every Jayhawk trick
This was the coachs last remark.
4 growl replied. afar. in the dark.
Beat Kansas
The Jayhawk pig met Cyanide,
But Cy rushed on, with the pig inside.
He swallowed the pig at single bite
And yelped again, in wild delight,
Beat Kansas"

And What Is News?

1t is assumed. of course, that you
want to know the news. But what is
news? Perhaps the working definition
is that it is what people want to read
throws the whole question open again.
People complain that newspapers dis
crininate in favor of bizarre, the sen
sational, and that they overlook what
is really wholesome and significant.
Well, newspapers are founded on hui
man nature. And what do people talk
about when they get together of an
evening? Things that are out of the
ordinary. If Tommy has been a we'll
behaved boy that day, his mother
doesn't mention it to the neighbors
But if he upset the pie over a visitors
gown, that is likely to be commented
on. Nobody thinks it worth while to
note that Mr.. and Mrs. Brown are get
ting on beautifully together. But if
Mrs. Brown has applied for divorce,
that is a topic of conversation. The
newspaper gossips along much after
the fashion of group of visiting
reighbOrs, and on much the same va
rietv of topics. If it didn't. people
wouldn't buy it and it would fail.
You who are here tonight might
have liked to read in full Prof. James,
lectures on 'Pragmatism' when they
were delivered at Lowell Institute
But hardly fraction of l per cent of
newspaper readers would have been
interested in them. A handful of cul-

the newspapers perennial problem IN
telling the story of the day. The
whole elaborate poem, you remember,
is founded on simple incident re-
counted from many points OF view
A young girl, Pompilia, is compelled to
marry a man of middle age whom she
does not love, Count Guido. A young
priest, Caponsacchi, helps her to es-
cane from her misery. She is pursued
and mortally wounded by her husband,
who is tried and sentenced to death,
the sentence finally being affirmed by
the pope.
All In Point of View.
First the, story is told by Half
Rome" from the viewpoint of the out
slider who sympathiZeS with the girl
Then comes The Other Half-Rome, "
viii, h is inclined to justify the hus-
band. ''Tertium Quid" follows, at
/ tempting to do even-handed justice.
Later the story is told by Pompilia
herself. by Count Guido, by the oppos-
ing lawyers, and the final summing up
is by the pope. And each time the
new point of view makes a new story
OF it.
Day by day the newspaper is con-
frunted with situations akin to that of

his language if he had been a reporter

AS in politics the average man is in
terested in mild way in honest and
efficient government, so long as his
personal interests aren't involved, sc
in furnishing news he is usually ready
TO tell his view OF the truth unless he
is interested in propagating something
else. | am not complaining of this
state of affairs; am merely setting
forth what | believe to be the facts
regarding one aspect of the prOblemat
ical side of the public with which {
newspaper has to deal. In reality the
uncertainties of the raw material O
news add Zest TO the job of newspaper
making. \ Western member, you vii
recall, was once expelled from the Sen
ate for fragrant drunkenness. In hi

FrankIy-,t Doesn't Know.

An important newspaper IS SNiearing
ink on ln0O0D pounds of wood pulp
daily, at heavy expense, and marketing
the product If it is to exist. it must
produce a saiable article-something
TIE public wants and what does it
want? The average successful news
paper las its theories, but it doesn't
know.
This business side of a newspaper
usually escapes public notice. You will
pardon he if | emphasize it. Once it
was possible for Horace Greeley
with a trifiing SUN o. money to estab-
lish newspaper like the Tribune in
New York City. All he needed was a
Job press and handful of type. To-
day it would be cut OF the question to
do anything OF the sort. Backing of
a million dollars would be scant. A
modern newspaper is great manufac-
turing industry, supporting COM
munity of 10000 or more persons. Its
plant is equipped with costly presses
and tvpeSetting machines. 1t main
tains an art department and library.
To obtain the news of the world as
promptly and accurately as possible 1t
must maintain its corps of staff and
special correspondents. ard it must CO.
operate with other newspapers. The
Associated Press, with its ramifica-
| tions in every quarter Of the globe and
| it's leased wire service, is an expensive
| institution, but it is necessary to meet
/ the modern news requirements. The
/ probably run in excess of S150,000 a
month.
| have Gwelt on this aspect OF the
newspaper to show you how very i'm
portant it is, and what momentOus
problem it sets for the management.
/ For the metropolitan newspaper OF to-
| day must study to create a product so
attractive that the public will pay for
! it more than 11a million dollars a
year. This was something you might
! have reflected upon when the city edi-
tor told you he wouldn't be able to
print in full the sermon or the lecture
on medieval sculpture, or whatever
that serious looking document was
! that you carried to him so enthUsias-
tically the other day. He is respon-
sible for making his department at
tractive. Perhaps his judgment was at
fault in this particular case. and he
would have made the hit of his life
by printing three columns about Egyp,
| tian art. Perhaps.
The problem is complicated by a
condition which | do not suppose ex,
! lists in any other business. The direct

FARG0s SPEEDY BACK FIELD.

The high school football season
wound up in a whirl of glory Satur-
day evening when the senior girls ben
quoted the st. Paul and Fargo teams
One would hardly think an ordinary
class room could be converted into
such splendid banquet, hall as the
room where 1t was held. No less than
one hundred banners covered the walls,
which, with the beautiful table decor
ations, made a very pretty effect
included both teams and coaches and
Mr.. Spalding and Mr.. Hoover.
After six very elaborate courses,
which were furnished and served en-
tirely by the girls, toasts were given
by both captains, both coaches and
Principal Spaulding and superinten-
dent Hoover.
Captain Kimball welcomed ST. Paul
to Fargo and hoped athletic relations
would continue between the twin city
teams and Fargo.
Robier, the st. Paul captain, thank
ed the senior girls for their excellent
banquet and said they had never been
treated as good anywhere they have
visited. The team is fast and they
played an excellent game, free from
wrangling and delays.
! Following Robbers talk, Coach Kahn
back spoke briefly on football in the
northwest. He is OF the opinion that
the game is improving and less trouble
is experienced in keeping the crowd Off
the field.
Coach Hillard of ST. Paul responded
He spoke briefly Of football farther
east. Continuing he spoke as follows:
fargo has the fastest back field 1 have
seen in action. In my opinion the Far
go team could make an excellent show
ing with any Of the twin city teams
We are perfectly satisfied with every
thing and are sure we could not have
been treated more royalty"
Superintendent Hoover then gave a
brief talk and Principal Spaulding
closed the toasts. After an hour or
more of dancing in the halls, all de-
parted for the train, after making the
walls ring with lively yells.

Schwantes was working between

bumped into one car throwing the two

allowed the cars to come close enough

A. c. WON ALL BUT ONE FIRST
PRIZE IN STOCK EXHIBIT AT
NORTHWESTERN BREEZE ER's
ASSOCIATION AT ST. PAUL LAST
WEEk-sTUDENTs JUDGE WELL

The North Dakota Agricultural col
lege came out exceptionally well in the
live stock exhibit that was made at
the live stock show Of the Northwest
ern Stock Breeders association, held
at st. Paul last week.
Prof. w. B. Richards, Of the live
stock department OF the college, re-
turned to the city this morning and
is greatly pleased with the results OF
the show, both as to the standing of
the agricultural colleges exhibit and
the work of the student judges from
that institution who competed at the
show with the Minnesota A. c.
The North Dakota institution had
six head of fat steers and eight head
of fat wethers at the show and these
were very successful in winning places
In the honorable mention list, the in
stititions of this kind being barred
from winning money prizes. The coll
lege carried away first prize in every
class except ono In which they ex-
hibited. They were given the grand
champion wether and the grand cham
pion for the pen of three, in the sheep
class. In the steer class 1t was winner
over all individual exhibitors and stood
next to Minnesota.
In the student judging contest the
result was quite satisfactory. the class
winning three moneys out of eight.
Professor Richards said that as the
competition was with Minnesota the
result is very satisfactory. the uneven
ness OF the contest being something
like football contest between the two
institutions would be.
winners are: J. M. Brander, fiftE
money; Lancy Montgomery, seventh
money and VIM. Maxwell, eighth mon.
ey. There were only five in the judg.
ing class.
