The news class was well attended last
Saturday afternoon. The past record
OF several OF the candidates on the peo-
pies and republican tickets was dis
cussed. 1t seemed to be the opinion of
the majority that the peoples candidates
are the best.-Central Normal College
Correspondent In the Beacon.
The people of Barton county without
reference to party or politics have gen.
erlaly aided the Central Kansas Nor
NAL College. The editor of the Regis
ter has recognized that it is an institu-
ton that the people would love to see
prosper, and they will accord to its pro-
fessors and students the full privilege
of their religious and political individual
opinion. But the majority of those
who patronize> such an institution will
prefer to send their children to a school
that will not attempt to interfere with
the young mems political convictions
under the guise of s'News Glass; In
the College during the past this has
been done to such degree that young
men who do not desire to have union
labor politics thrust upon them have
been forced to forego attendance upon
this exercise. No school or college that
must be patronized by all classes can
afford to undertake to teach politics.
We hope that the Central Kansas Col
lege will modify this exercise for its
own good, as well as that of the city
and county.
Evidently our friend of the Register
thinks he knows more about the busi-
ness of the C.N.C. than does the faculty
thereof. They, the college faculty,
should profit by the hints thrown out in
the Register article. and suppress the
''news class" without further ado.
They ought to know that they cannot
expect to receive support from the boss
of the republican machine if they per
init any discussion of politics in the
college. The republican party does
not want the young men educated Oh
political matters, and as it is SO appar.
ent (?) that the good of the republican
party is of more Importance than the
success of the college. the latter should
modify" its news class" Wha
action will be taken by the faculty il
not known, but the pupils are inclined
to rebel against the Register editor:
interfering with the plans of the college
as the following from Fridays Evening
News will Indicate:
cit seemd that Mr.. Caraway is no
content with his newspaper and hi
postoffice, and his duties as a membe
of the board of regents of the Agricul
tural College, but has concluded to Civ,
the faculty of the Central Normal Col
lege a few pointers as to how to con
duct this institution. 1t is a secondar,
matter with him as TO what the colleg'

minds of the pupils that they must vote
the republican ticket straight and no

they advocate republican candidates. il
which even politics are permissible
For his benefit l will say that Prof
Smith allows the widest range of dis
cussion in his news class. The schol
lars discuss great variety of subjects
and in the best of spirit. The repub
lican, union labor, alliance, democratic
prohibition and resubmission partie:
are freely discussed, and much valu
able information given in this way
There are republicans here who are fol
resubmission and for the alliance tick
cts, and they have no apologies to make
to Mr. Caraway for being SO. Prof
Smiths republicanism is not to be
questioned by Mr.. Caraway. l speal
