the resolution committee in the after- noon to draft resolutions commend- ing the Kansas governor for his work of enforcing the prohibitory law in Kansas.
The resolution committee, which met Wednesday afternoon, was com. posed of Earl R. De Lay, of Sharon; Jesse Elder, of: Ot-
W. P. Talbot, of Par- tawa;
sons; S. W. Bond, of Milton- vale; Rolvix Harlan, of Ottawa; J. W. Shields, of Ottawa; H. T. Harnley of McPherson, Marcus Clemmons, of Ottawa. The members of the commitee present were about evenly divided on the proposition of whether the Stubbs commendation resolution should be adopted. Several members of the
committee were not present, among them Dr. Harlan and Mr. Shields.
In assuming the pace of convention chairman Wednesday afternoon John A. Shields said in part:
"The question of this hour involves the supremacy of the people's will in governmental affairs. It involves the destruction of the institution and the system which has made 'Cannonism,' and corruption, and crime, and drunk- enness, and the saloon. The Prohibi- tion party stands alone in striking at the cause, not at the result of the evil. It is broader than 'Cannonism,' broader than 'Insurgency,' broader than political corruption. The prohi- bitionist centers his fight against the liquor traffic, but his real and funda- mental purpose is now, and ever has been, the return to the people of the government that is justly theirs.
The Prohibition party has not met here today because no other party has dared to complete y divorce itself from the liquor traffic and its tribu- tary evils. It is here because there is no other party that is not divided on the greatest politico-moral ques- tion before the people. The Republi- cans of Indiana declare for local op- tion; during the same week the Re- publicans of Illinois dec'are in favor of the United Societies. The demo- crats of Georgia outlaw the liquor business; the Democrats of Pennsyl- vania uphold and protect it. The Re- publicans in Kansas enforce a pro- hibition law; the Republicans in Iowa have nullified such a law. Southern Democracy is against the business; northern Democracy favors it. This is not the fault of the rank and fire of these parties; it is the fault of the liquor interests which dominates the organizations.

KISSING? A BAD HABIT.
But Dr. McWharf Wouldn't Dare to Try to Stop It.
"The wise physicians tell us there is danger in a kss,
That dire distress may reach us through that avenue of bliss,
That with a million bacteria our sys- tems we will wreck,
Wth every single blissful oscula- tory smack.
But when a man's confronted by a pretty smiling maid,
He's apt to say 'O, hang the quacks, here goes, who's afraid."
It was Dr. McWharf speaking from the pulpit of the Baptist church Sun- day evening. "Kissing," he said, "is the greatest disseminator of tubercu- loss we know of." He was playing the part of the youth, David, coming forth to slay the giant, Goliath. This giant, by the way, was the "kissinng habit" and quite honorably did the doctor acquit himself. "Of course we can't prevent it," continued the doctor, (a suppressed titter from his younger auditors) "but it is a self- evident truth that thousands of cases
of the disease, tuberculosis, are made in that way."
Last Sunday was "Health Sunday." In hundreds of churches throughout the state war was waged on tthe "great white plague."
In Ottawa the pastors turned their pu pits over to the physicians of the city. Drs. C. W. Hardy and J. M. McWharf spoke in the Baptist church; Drs. H. W. Gilley and W. R. Penning- ton in the Presbytterian church; Dr. G. W. Davis in the Methodist church; and Dr. Ball in the North Ottawa Methodist church.

The Freshmen "Cut a Caper" By
Ducking a Senior.
A few days ago a bunch of freshmen decided that a school founded by so distinct and decided a sect as the Baptists, ought to have some method of training its students in Baptist or- dinances. Casting about for a suta- ble subject for the first object lesson they hit upon Clair Price of the
Senior class.
Some of the freshmen class decided that.Price has been too active against them all year, and agreed it was about time to get even. So they got him, on the front porch of his home at Sixth and Cedar, just as he finished a chat with "Bob" Nash. When first captured he emitted a series of noises calculated to excite consternation in a morgue, but quieted down when he discovered who his assai ants were.
The freshmen proceeded with their prisoner to the ford at the foot of Mulberry street, giving him opportu- nities at various stages of the journey to express sorrow for certain discour- tesies, it was alleged he was guilty of, which he "gamely" refused to do. Arrived at the river, he was divested of his clothes and, was led into the water by one of the boys and bap- tzed, the ordinance being administer- ed in a most thorough and scientific
manner. Aftter the ducking, while the "duckee" was dressing, a select chorus of fresmen boys furnished ap- propriate music giving an excellent rendition of "Shall We Gather at the River" and "Down Where the Healing Waters Fow."
There are two problems to which the whole college is seeking in vain for a solution : Who is the joke on and what became of Nash?
What does this mean? At the con- cert of the Minneapolis symphony orchestra at Boldwin was an Ottawa girl, who wore a hat of exceptional dimensions. At the first of the con- cert, all the ladies were requested to remove their hats, but when the con- cert was half over it was noticed that this young lady 'still retained hers, and showed no intentions of taking it off. Twice an usher waited upon her but with no results, while notes came in from all parts of the back of the house, some of them merely making the request that it come off, while others were in the nature of a "roast." But nothing had any effect, and when the concert was over the
young lady still had her hat on her head. "Why didn't you take it off?" asked a friend on the way home that evening. "Why, really, I couldn't," she answered, "my hair was pinned in the hat."-Ottawa Herald.
This Park College must be a pecul- iar institution. Parkville, Missouri, where the college is located, contains hardly twenty-five people, the college campus being practically the entire town. The boys have a big dormitory while the girls have a big dormitory. Several hundred acres are contained in the campus, a good part of which the boys utilize as a farm. Here all the vegetables used in the summer and stored away in the winter, are raised, the boys doing all the work, earning their way through school in that manner. The girls do all the cooking, all the students being fed in the big dining hall in the girls' dormitory. Strict rules are enforced, the girls and boys being kept apart, allowing few evenings "out." The college campus is situated right on the side of a hill. The students get all the exercise chasing up and down the hill from one building to another. It is a half mile from the girls' dor- mitory to the chapel and about a hun- dred steps have to be climbed in mak- ing the trip. The place is just 9 miles north of Kansas City, on the St. Jo- seph line, where the railroad passes between the bluffs and the river. Nothing of the college can be seen from the railroad .- Ottawa Herald.

lowed with an interesting discussion of "Better Americans or Worse," in which he cited local examples to prove that the nation is not degener- ating. Laura Sudduth read an in- structive paper on "The Modern Nov- el." Anna Wallace sang two vocal solos. The program concluded with a very complete and interesting re- view of the current news by Ross Bower.

Mr. Heritage has re- signed and Mr. Martin takes his place.

MONEY TO AID YOUNG MEN ..
C. B. Botsford, a Wealthy Manufac- turer, Makes Bequests.
Charles B. Botsford, recently de- ceased, of Boston, Mass., a wealthy rope and twine manufacturer, has left an estate of over $500,000 to go to- ward providing free collegiate educa- tion for young men in Idaho and in North Dakota. The free education is given only to Christian young men, who agree as long as they live never to use intoxicating liquor nor to use tobacco nor other narcotics. Bots- ford formerly lived in the northwest, and he was a personal acquaintance of John Shields '13, who interested him in the college prohibition move- ment about two years ago. Mr. Shields has a number of letters, and five or six original "poems," written by Mr. Botsford, and dedicated to the young men's Prohibition movement in Minnesota.

Prof. Wilson, of Biology Department, Gave Address on Tuberculosis.
Last Sunday evening Prof. W. B. Wilson gave the main address on "Tuberculos's" at tthe union service of the Baptist, Methodist and Presby- terian congregations in the Methodist church in Waverly, Kansas. His lec- ture was delivered in an easy, inter- esting and instructive manner, dealing first with germs of the disease, and then discussing the most effective measures for its prevention and cure. Prof. Wilson was followed by Dr. Mathis, who warmly endorsed all the professor had said, and then read in- structions from the state board of health to the practicing physicians.
J. Fisher, who has charge of the Baptist church at Waverly, Rev. F. M. Alexander, pastor of the Presbyterian church, who was a former pastor in Ottawa, and Rev. A. E. Ryan, pastor in charge of the Methodist church, also took part in the service.

Washington, D. C., April 29 .- An- drew Carnegie, addressing the mem- bers and guests of the National Press club tonight, declared President Taft one of the greatest presidents this country has aad, and said that for his efforts for world peace the coun- try would grant him a high place in history.
"There is nothing to be gained by disarmament of nations," continued Mr. Canegie. "You must bridge the chasm between peace and war. Ger- many and England have no right to go on arming themselves and prepar- ing for war. This country has some rights. We won't sit here long, or go on as we are, spending millions for a navy merely for our protection.
