the wild demon of riot set loose because
Abraham Lincoln, In the extremity of
the nations peril, asked that the men
of New York be made to do their duty
to the country and to the flag. While
Kansas and Nebraska were offering the
blood of their brsvest and best, New
York was plotting to secure control of
the government finances, that 1t might
wax rich at the expense of the nation.
While citizens of Kansas and Ne
brsska were Wsdlng through swamp
and morass, dying at the front or vast
Ing away with disease in Southern
prisons, the bOssted loyalty of New
York was planning and plotting be-
hind closed doors and screened win
doWs, fattening on the blood shed by
brave boys In blue, and praying that
the war might last a little longer, and
thus give them time to make few
millions more because Of the dire ex-
tremltV Of the nation
ItComes with poor grace from any
newspaper in New York city to prate
about the dlsloyslty and lack of In
tsgrity Of Ksnsans and Nebrasksns.
History does not show up the loyalty
and integrity Of citizens Of New York
city, as q whole, In the best light,
when compared with the loyalty and
integrity of the citizens of Kansas and
Nebraska.
Kansas and Nebraska are rapidly
learning just who are their true friends.
And In the days to come friendship
will cut more of a figure, and politics
less, In the great game of business.
And when friendship rules the business
world as 1t rules the social world, then
Chicago and New York, now arrogant
and proud, will humble themselves In
the dust and crave the friendship of
the giant prairie States they now so

The School Book Question.

EDITOR ADvOCATE:-AlreRdy q dis
position has manifested itself among
those who have sat In high places 10 the
Republican synagogue Of Kansas, to use
our party to forward private ends and
schemes by seeking to arouse prejudice,
rather than to appeal to judgment.
AS a proof Of this, no more potent
argument could be sdduced than the
advertisement which appeared in the
Topeka newspaper headed, "a Spicy
Interview on the School Book Question" E"
The writer is credibly informed that
q copy OF the paper containing the Rd-
vertisement in question was mailed to
every member-elect of the Legislature;
for the good and wholesome information
it contained? No, in the hope that it
would incite action by the Legislature,
through the "bile" that sucn an efusion
would stir up, aud the prejudice it would
engender. There is in the author Of the
advertisement that strange, heroic de-
sire to give the schools Of the State that
protection which Vultures give to lambs.
In one sentence the Populists are
pstted on the back by saying, "These
men elected are Kanssns, and have the
interest Of the State at heart, while in
another sentence he villifes the press,
ministerial unions, and school boards
the former for not indorsing his books,
and the latter, because in the exercise Of
choice and judgment they did not select
his books for use in the schools, the
efficiency of which they were responsible
for, and in whose behalf their honest
judgment was exercised, after counseling
educators whose opinions they valued.
The aspersion thus cast upon teachers
and school officers may be retuted by
quoting from a communication from
State Superintendent Winans, published
in the Western School Journal, at the
close Of his term Of Office in 1893. Su-

DEFAMING PRAIRIE STATES.
The West Suffers Nothing by COApaFisOE
with the East.

ueGRm10R hbuEHb BBu NeOEoSNo OO-
cause these States saw fit to throw OFF
the yoke of Republican miSmsnage-
ment and stand forth for clean govern
ment. The snimus behind the TTE6-
u1e and the Press is plainly seen, Tor
In their hide bound psrtiSsnship they
are ready and willing at all times to 60
to any extreme. Kansas and Nebraska
have made mistakes but they have rec
titled them. They made the great mis-
take of suffering in silence for years
while The party supported by the I'rtb-
uase and the Press robbed them right
and left, and made them the plsythings
of professional politicians. They made
the mistake Of listening to the soft
Establishments of men who become
party men merely to feed and fstten
by its indulgence. But they have rec
tilted these mistakes. A few years ago,
when Chicago lay prOstrste In heap
of smoking and smouldering ruins, the
young States of Kansas and Nebraska
hurried train-losd after trsin'lOSd Of
food and thousands Of dollars to feed
and house and administer to the wants
of the suffering thousands of the
stricken city. And when by the gen.
eroslty of Ksnssns and Nebrasksns
Chlcsgo's citizens were able to arise
and, 90 forth to their work and build
up their shattered fortunes, the wealth
Of Kansas and Nebraska was poured
into that city. and because of this that
city has Wsxsd strong and great and
arrogant. Forgetful of the fact that
she is dependent upon the great West,
Chicago srrogstes to herself the right
to become the political censor and bust
ness mentor of this great territory.
Forgetful of the time when the gran
aries and purses Of Kansas and Ne
brabks were open to her suffering and
starving citizens, ChiCago's neWsps'
pers now teem with slurs and ISLANDERS
that can only be born Of msleVolence,
Neither Kansas nor Nebraska owes
one 1.-THE to Chicago of what Chicago
owes to them. Every consideration Of
gratitude and business aCumen would
indicate that Chicago should stand by
and help these two prairie States; graf
ituds for help extended in time Of need,
business Rcumen because the wealth Of
these two States have been gsrnered
and marketed in Chicago until that
city has become the wonder Of the
world.
AS for the New York Press and
all the ilk of partisan organs
that are showing their spleen be-
cause their political masters bid
them to do so, Ksnssns and Ne
brssksns have nothing but contempt.
Kansas and Nebraska, thank God, are
vastly different from the city Of New
York. When the integrity and unity
of the nation were threatened gener-
alton ago, the young State of Kansas
and the infant Territory Of Nebraska
sent every available man to the front to
fight for the old flag. No selfish contrac-
tor or money losner remained at home
to fan the flames of secession and lend
aid and con- fort to the enemy In order
to prolong q war that was making
them rich beyond the widest dreams
Of svsrice. The young State and the
infant Territory knew nothing but 10y.

good women, there must Of necessity be
quite a'sprinkling Of fairly good people
in other walks of life. In fact, / am
pretty we'll convinced now that what
have sometimes suspected is true: This
world OF ours is just full Of good people;
and that, relatively, there are only q
very few bad people, and even they are
not as bad as we may have thought them.
My acquaintance with you and your work,
and the spirit in which your work is be-
ing done, gives me great hope for the
future citizenship Of Kansas" :"
The good opinion expressed Of teachers,
school officers, and the people Of Kansas
in general, by Superintendent Winsns,
who was for four years intimately and
usefully connected with the school work
OF the State, ia in pleasing cantrast to
the Vituperation oouohed in the paid ad-
Vertisement Of one who seeks favor
through Misrepresentation.
Our motto should be to frown on all
attempts to create prejudice against
business firms, because their mRnufactur-
ing does not happen to be done within
our State borders. Pages have been
written and circulated through our
enterprising newspapers on this very
question, since election, against vicious
assaults Of some Eastern newspapers,
upon. the falr name, business Rcumen,
and honesty Of purpose Of the Kansas
people. The insinuations in the sdver-
tisement are a reflection upon the honesty
Of our own citizens.
In all matters pertaining to our schools
and educational system the only test
that should be applied, "is it good, is it
the best that can be obtained for the
money!" should govern all Of our acts;
the question should not be asked, is it
produced within or without the State?
Our public schools, Of all other in
stitutions, should be kept free from the
blighting and narrowing Influences Of
bigotry, dogmatism, and every other in
lusnces that does not serve as stepping
stones to higher and nobler estates.
The text-bo used in the schools
under the supervision Of the writer, have
been selected with great care from the
lists of six large publishing houses, and
we happen to have but two books Of tie
number, published or furnished by the
American Book Company, and one Of
those is Webster's Dictionary.
That there are abuses in the school
book business, no one who has studied the
question will deny; but many Of them
may be attributed to the manner Of
the books, rather than to the
publishers. What we need is not relief
from the variety Of sources to which We
can 60 for choice in selecting our text
books and reference books, but to cur
tail the unnecessary cost to pupils and
patrons.
This brings US to the district owner
ship plan, the keynote Of which Superin-
tendentelect Stryker sounded, when he
said in q recent article: "The district
should purchase all the books, and the
use Of the text books should be as free as
the instruction"
To provide for this plan the present
county uniformity law would have to
undergo but slight amendment, and all
that has been found good Of the present
law, through an experience Of years,
