his achievements distinctly deserved

pencil, with brush with chisel; he

His pictures and his few bronzes are
equally good. When my own regi-

TALK OVER PLATFORM.
Gov. Stubbs and VIM. Allen White
Discuss PIanl1s.

William Allen White of Emporia
came to Topeka last evening to con-
fer with the governor and Attorney
General Jackson and other insurgent
leaders over the material of which
the planks in the party platform are
to be constructed. Mr.. Jackson was
called out OF town on business, but
an informal conference was held any
way.
1t is understood that at this confer
ence ii was decided to insert the ini-
tiative and referendum, the control of
public utilities, the recall, the election
of United States senators by the peo-
pie, enforcement of the prohibitory
law and several other minor planks.
The governor favored leaving the
drafting of the national planks to
Senator Bristow and Congressman
Murdoch and Madison, the insurgent
wing of the Kansas delegation at
Washington.
Endorse President Taft.
While the party council next week
will endorse President Taft. yet it is
pretty certain that they will not en-
dorse the tariff bill and the reaction
airy advisers of the Taft administration.
It has been pretty well agreed among
the leaders of the progressive wing of
the party that the planks of the state
platform relating to national affairs
will read something like this:
Endorsement of the president, but
condemnation of his advisers and the
representatives of the interests in con-
gresS.
Condemnation of certain schedules,
rubber Lead. wool. cotton and others
in the tariff bill.
Instructions to Kansas congressme en-
and senators to follow the lead of the
president in his recently announced
policy to demand a revision of these
schedules separate from the general
tariff bill and as soon as the tariff
commission can get the facts on which
to base a real revision.
Instructions to congressman and
senators to work and vote for reso-
luton submitting to a vote a constitu-
tional amendment providing for the
election of United States senator's by
direct vote of the people.

THEATER WAR COMING.
Real Test of Battle Between Trust
and Independents Is Seen.

New York, Aug. 27.-The 1901
theatrical season, which is now open
ing, will be the most important from
several viewpoints in the theatrical
history of the United States. After
three months of preparation on the
part of the independents and the syn
dictate, theatrical managers through
out the United States are now allied
with their respective sides.
Interesting statisticS compiled show
an increase in valuation of theater
properties due to the bitter COMPETE
ton between the Independents and the
syndicate. It is estimated that over
$l0O,OOO,OOO is now invested in prop
critics, plays and other things theat-
rical.
Inc warfare started a movement of
theater building and over forty play
houses have either been constructed
or are under erection at the present
time. One hundred and fifty new
plays will be presented, Mr.. Frohman
ieadlng as the producer of new attrac-
tions.
While theatrical managers are op-
timistfc in their statements concerning
the winters outlook, neverth eless there
IS an undercurrent of alarm. 1t is
reared that the warfare will cost both
SIDES dearly and it is predicted today
that ere the season is done both sides
Will be ready to negotiate towards a
friendly merger.
There is going to be a scarcity of
productions. 1t was said today that if
both independents and syndicate pool
ed all their attractions there would not
be sufficient to supply the demand. The
syndicate controls SO New York thea
tiers and the Independents nine. The
former has over 300 out of town thea
tiers and the latter say they have 1 400
It is said there should be three times
I as many plays to satisfy the national
demand under the conditions which
will prevail during the coming sea
son.

The Actual-Business
Bookkeeping Method

Under the cabinet System Of
Actual Business Practice" the
student absorbs, not simply by
hearing, but by practice. He ac-
tually engages in business, and
the transactions he is taught
come naturally to him in due
course, as they do in real bust
ness. He opens an account with
the bank, deposits his capital,
rents a place of business, buys
from wholesale houses his stoe
of merchandise, opens his ac-
counts, and begins business.
This imparts to the study an
intense interest. It compels that
enthusiasm which is necessary to
the best learning.
The student receives not theoreti-
cal but real experience, in the
bank, the wholesale house, the
commission house, etc. He learns
the actual details of commission,
brokerage, jobbing, insurance,
transportation and real estate
bookkeeping, also vouchering,
bank and corporation work. He
does not simply hear how bust
ness should be done, he does the
very things that are done in real
business.
Our fall term for this department
opens August 10Th, but students
can enter at any time.
Call and see us, or phone 500.
