Cy Leland Talks.

Topeka, Nov. 5.-"We don't have
any joints in our town." said Cy Le-
land few days ago. "We may not
like to admit 1t but as a matter Of
fact we are governed by a local option
in the enforcement Of the prohibitory
law. The people Of Troy don't want
saloons or joints and they don't have
them and in any community where
the people are opposed to the violation
of the law 1t won't be violated TO any
great extent. OF course, even In our
town we occasionally run across some
bOOtlegger, but he is promptly pulled
up and fined.
"If ] had been in Governor Morrill's
place would not have nodded with
that Wichita business. He had a
good police board there 10 the first
place and they were getting along
pretty well when the present arrange
ment was inaugurared. They have
saloons aud joints there now Just as
they had before"

An important Departure.

An important Departure.
Last evening the board of educa-
ton Of this city passed a motion
made By A A. Richards by which the
board decided 10 hereafter buy all
school books. stationery and other
school supplies needed by the children
.ol the public schools and to furnish
them to the children at actual cost.
The vote on the motion stood Ayes,
Berger Cook, Emerson. Richards.
Richardson and Worden. Nays,
Newbold and Woods.
This is a subject that has been I'm.
der discussion by the board, more or
less, for more than three years past.
Every school book publishing house
has regular retail price list. Incur
city schools very large majority of
the books used are published by the
American Book Company. They
have what they call a mailing list"
Of prices; these are prices for which
they will mail any book to the pur-
chaser preparing postage. This is
supposed to be the highest price
charged by local dealers. Something
over three years ago an investigation
into the prices then being charged
the patrons of the schools for text
books which was made by a COM
mittee of the board of education re-
vealed the fact that our dealers were
paying no attention whatever to the
regular prices of these text books,
but were selling them for all sorts Of
prices, higher prices than the lists.
At that time the board of education
was about to take the same action
they did last night, when a compro-
mise was effected by the dealers
agreeing to sell by the list prices.
Ever since that time there have
been oft repeated complaints coming
before the board Of overcharges in the
prices Of school books. This question
has been one of perpetual annoyance
to the board and they have decided
to end all these controversies by TAX
ing the whole text book and school
supplies question so far as it relates
to the city schools into their own
hands. BY doing so they can save
the patrons of the school from Is cts.
to 60 cts. or even 70 cts. on every
dollar they have to put into text
books and school supplies.
Take book that retails for 81 90 as
an example. It's whOlesaled to the
dealer or TO the board at so cts. with
discount off this eighty cents 70
cash payment. As the board does
not intend to make any profit out of
this business, we figure that they can
sell this book for IS cts. and pay
freight and handling charges. When
it comes to tablets. states, lead pen.
ellis and supplies of that nature the
saving will be proportionately very
much greater. In some cases one
fifth of present prices will leave a
good percentage of profit.
Those who supported this motion
did so upon the Theory that as public
officials their duty was to adopt those
measures that will bring the greatest
good to the greatest number of the
people of this school territory; that
while this enterprise of the board may
interfere more or less with the bust
ness of few residents and taxpayers.
yet it will directly benefit every
patron Of the schools; that the detri-
ment it may be to a few individuals
is not a sufficient reason for depriv.
ing every family In the district Of the
benefits of this plan.-Mail, Tuesday.
