Entered at the postoffice a. Otta- wa, Kansas, Sept. 18, 1908, as second class matter.

Last week the local news of the Baker . Orange was sadly neglected, and the editor lost his head, and over two columns of space in a vain attempt to convince Ottawa people, generally, that the Ottawa football team was not given the dirty end of the stick in the toss-up for officials for the Baker-Ottawa game. Ottawa has it in black and white from Hon. James C. Masker, of 'Kan- sas City, that he sent word to Coach S ewart, of Baldwin, on Monday be- fore the game that he (Masker) coul" not officiate on Friday. The Orange admits that Ottawa got no notice of this until Coach Stewart . telephoned Coach Wann on Thursday midnight. It was a wise move for Baker to with- hold this information until the elev- enth hour. Mr. Stewart waited until Thursday to ask Dr. Reilly, of Kansas City, to get a substitute, as he (Dr. Reilly) had notified Coach Stewart he could not be on hand. The Campus doesn't want to question the veracity

of Coach Stewart, but the statement he made to Coach Wann concerning Lieutenan. Powell's arrival, is mis- leading, to say the least, and in view of Mr. Stewart keeping information of Dr. Masker until the eleventh hour, looks like a plot. Some of Lieutenant Powell's men told the editor of the Campus at Baldwin, that they had been in baldwin all that week. Fur- thermore the Campus has proof that Lientenant Powell and Coach Stewart were seen in Ottawa together con- Jorting as the closest of friends. Baker's boas. of "clean, honest ath- letics" sounds as empty as the air, when lined up beside certain other acts in the past. One other state- ment of error in the Orange the Campus must rectify. It is a mis- sta ement of fact that Ottawa's touch. down was secured by a decision of Umpire Powell. The Orange says Mr. Powell called a Baker man off side, when Ottawa was on third down, with five yards to gain. The fact is Ottawa started from the middle of the field, and by straight football made all downs. It was not on third down, nor did Umpire Powell call a Baker man off side.

University Life Friends' Univer- sity, Wichita, vindicates the Campus in its stand against college newspaper errors, though it does it in an inci- dental way. The editor with the as- surance born of neglect or ignorance upbraids the Campus' article a tempt" ing to locate the national prohibition contest. A Campus reporter heard in same roundabout way, that a contest would be held at Wichita, and the alert reporter at once sought out the "newsy" magazines coming from the colleges in Wichita, in an effort to put the honor in the right place. Universi y Life had probably read an article or two in the Campus concerning the prevalence of such

general weaknesss as these in col lege papers: First, the use : the words "they" and "their" in referring to the college discussed, or to organiz ations; the poor use of headlines, o) the failure to use headlines at al over ar icles of importance; the use of infelicitous, or "sissy" language il a dignified write-up. To return to the above: the editorial in Life brought to light the fact that import ant news it .oo often left out of col lege papers. The editor of the Cam pus has found in Life about three lines about the intercollegiate oratori cal meeting at Wichita, but nothing of the impor'ant fact that the oratori cal contest is to be held under the auspices of Friends' University. The honorable editor of Life can be ac cused of one of two things: either h did not know which Wichita college was to have the contest until he saw he Campus article, or until after he consulted a Fairmount man, as he says he did; or he is guilty of a gross violation of one of the ethics of a newspaper-the printing of live, loca news. The Campus admitted before -always - admits-that . errors are quite possible, and acknowledges the one Life alludes to, but hopes that the error was compensated for, if the editor of Life has just been awaken ed to the situation that an oratorica contest of importance is to be held under the auspices of Friends'.

Prof. Rossen Has Painful Accident. Prof. J. T. Rossen suffered a pain fully wrenched leg the first of the week in stepping off the porch at his home on East Ninth street.

A UNION MEETING.

Dr. Price Addressed the Christian As- sociation's Last Sunday.

The joint meeting of the Christian associations in the chapel last Sunday morning was addressed by President S. E. Price. Dr. Price took as his sub- ject "Do Missions Pay?" and discuss- ed it in an able and scholarly man- ner. He dwelt at some length upon the value of missions because of the great ex.ent of territory explored by missionaries and the many valuable scientific discoveries made by them, on the great number of languages re- duced to writing and literatures founded by them, on the new fields opened up to commerce by them, and on the way in which they spread the benefits of education among the peo- ples of many lands. He calls these the by-products of missions, and said that missions do undoubtedly pay, if for these things alone. He did not em- phasize strongly the spiritual value of missions, as is usually done, but in closing spoke of the direct value to the people reached and of the reflex- ive value to those carrying on the work and to those supporting it.

DO YOU TAKE THE CAMPUS?

The Campus management has been informed that some of its subscribers are troubled by certain persons who want to borrow a Campus each week to get the college news. It may be that such persons do not realize that subscriptions are yet being taken for the Campus. The subscription price is indeed small when it is considered that a big part of the college year remains. The Campus management has not been urging the matter of subscription as it should, perhaps, and because it has not, the impression may have gotten out that no more subscriptions are needed. As a mat ter of fact, the publication of the Campus has not been a matter of making ends meet so far this year. As stated at first, it is costing four dollar and seventy-five cents more per issue to publish than last year. If the Campus does not pay for itself this year, it may be seriously questioned ¡whether it will be published, again next year. The management urges each student who has not done Sc to subscribe, and help make it a suc- cess financially.

HOW PROHIBITION AFFECTS BUSINESS

Oliver W. Steart, Former Chairman of the Prohibition Party, Gave Two Strong Addresses in Ottawa This Week.

Oliver W. Stewart, former national chairman of the Prohibition party, a prohibition member of the Illinois leg. islature, and the foremos. prohibition speaker of America, spoke to the stu- dents in chapel Wednesday morning. His speech was the subject of discus- sion in some of the English classes, and all who expressed an opinion agreed that it has not been surpassed by any chapel talk given here. Mr. Stewar. has a wonderful voice, a mag- nificent personality, and he is a mas- ter of the orator's art. His speech was a model of logic, full of illustra- tions and wit. The Review of Reviews, New York, once pronounced Stewart the best presiding officer in the Uni .- ed States. Ottawa students indeed appreciated the opportunity of hear- ing such a man on a question of such current and vi al interest. From here Mr. Stewart went to Garnett and Em- poria, and then to Texas, where he is now engaged in carrying on an ex- tended campaign. He is a graduate of Eureka College, Illinois, a member of the board of trustees of the In.er- collegiate Prohibition Association, and one of the ten national committeemen of the Prohibition party.

Oliver W. Stewart's prohibition ad- dress at the Baptist church was a dis- cussion of the liquor traffic from a business standpoint. He did not en- ter into a scientific analysis of the effect of alcohol on the human body and did not explain in detail how and why a man's morals were lowered by strong drink. He left these things to common understanding. The saloon keeper is worse than a thief, he said,

JOHN NELSON, House Furnishings. Our Quality Tells-Our Price Sells.

and explained the difference between a grocer, a thief and a saloon keeper. The grocer cakes a man's money but gives in return goods beneficial to the man; the thief takes his money and gives nothing in return; and the saloon keper takes a man's money and gives something injurious in re- turn, besides creating an appetite for it.

Besides destroying a man's produc- tive power alcohol destroys his pow- er to consume beneficial goods, Mr. Stewart said. A civilized man differs from a savage in that the savage uses only as much clothing as he ·needs, while the civilized man uses about ten times as much as he ac- tually needs. Alcohol dstroys the de- sire to dress well and makes a savage of the man. "It seems to me that the clothing dealer, at least, would be in favor of prohibition," he said.

Taxes would not be increased by doing away with the saloons and the revenue from them was Mr. Stewart's belief. Every man pays two kinds of taxes, the kind assessed by law- the kind he kicks about-and the kind assessed by charity, - when he gives money or clothing to the poor- the wives and children of the drunk- ards. This last kind is the largest, he said, and it would be practically eliminated by killing the liquor traf- fic.

Mr. Stewart's address was heard by about two hundred people. He is a very interesting speaker and held the attention of his audience through_ out the evening. Mr. Stewart was brought here principally by the ef-

forts of John Shields, a college stud- ent who is a prominent prohibition worker. At the close of the meeting that night a collection of $21.08 was taken.

Mr. Stewart was elected a · few years ago to the Illinois legislature on the prohibition ticket.

COLLEGE RULES.

Monthly Magazine Contribu esa Few Axioms to Students.

The set of rules given below are om the American College, a monthly magazine, and are dedicated to fresh- len. They are howover, applicable ) others in the college:

I will not knock.

I will no. be two-faced. I will play the game fair.

I will make a desperate effort to ave a respect for the suggestions and pinions of others and in doing so I hay learn something.

Although I am very wise, and there- pre never err, I will try to believe na the other fellow may have a few ccupied brain cells-although those ells are undoubtedly boaded with ery inferior stuff.

I will not knock the faculty.

I will study with some other end in iew than passing exams.

I will not-I will no -act as though was suffering from a hopeless case f grouch-I will no :.

I will not insert my nasal append- se into other men's affairs until in- ited, and then only part way.

I will not be a tagger-on or aper if can possibly be anything withou it. I will not let my studies interfere ith my college work-but I. will not orge that they are part of it. I will not invite trouble by doing too jany bright stunts.

I will not forget that notebooks ere made to hold notes, and that it s easier to fill them properly than to ope black coffee and flunk at exams.

Chairman Heritage, of the debate ommittee, has not made contracts ith Baker nor Washburn for debates his year. However, the fault is not Ir. Heritage's. Word from Wash- urn has been received. Washburn as secured debates with Baker and

William Jewell, and replies are being awaited from other colleges to which Washburn has sent word. Ottawa University is very desirous of enter- ing in'o some sort of debating ar- rangement with Washburn and Baker. The nearness of the colleges will make the arrangement convenient to the hree schools.

Harvey George Entertained. After hunting trip taken by Messrs. George, Rice and Wann last Monday, Harry George '11, entertain- ed at a six o'clock dinner Tuesday

evening and a theatre party later to the Elks minstrels. His guests were Misses Mabel Nichols '10, Nina Nel- son. and Bernice Allen ac '10; Messrs. Roderick Rice, ac. '10, and N. G. Wann

A Man Is Known

by the company he keeps. A store is known by the kind of merchandise it sells. That's why, when you ask any one that knows the difference in merchandise, where to buy a Suit, Overcoat, Raincoat, etc., they say at once- if you want it good, new, up-to- date, there's but one place to go, and that's to WALKER'S.

We appreciate the interest the Students are taking in our mer- chandise, and we are glad to note that they have been satisfied with · their purchases.
