ing from things made for pleasure and
peace. According to The theory Of
men who make the charge, POpulists
are happy when corn is light or cheap,
they laugh at the prospects of short
crops and low prices, and grieye over
an outlook for better times.
The truth is, POpuIiSm is an organ
lied protest against the government
which afflicts the country. The con-
stitution of the United States was
framed and adopted to secure rule of
the people, yet we are now subject to
government by the aristOcracy. A few
men have charge of congress, and a
syndicate of stock brokers dictate the
policy Of the President. Land which
once belonged to the people is. fast go

tain series: that is, they instruct the
teachers in their different jurisdic-
tions that certain books will thereaf-
ter be used. There is no contract en-
tered into between the purchaser of
the books and the book firm. The
only thing the board could legally do
would be the entering up Of a resolu.
tiOn on their minutes 10 The effect
that certain books had been adopted;
however, 1t seems they did more than
this-they not only entered such a
resolution on their records, but they
also entered into written contracts
with book firms whose books they had
adopted"
Mr.. Boyle quotes the law of 1897
which says where contracts are in
effect they shall he observed until the
time fixed for their expiration, and
says: III there had been any doubt
as to the validity of these contracts
this clause OF the new law would GER
taiuly silence those doubts for it is in
effect ratification OF all contracts
then in writing. IL is, therefore my
opinion that where contracts exist in
writing between school boards and
b JOk firms, be it in city, district or
county, that such contracts will re-
main 10 force until, by their terms,
they expire"
William Stryker, state Superinten-
dent of public instruction, in Circu-
lar letter issued today, advises the
people of Kansas, wherever they are
not absolutely bound by contracts to
at once provide the schools with the
text books recently adopted by the
text book commission. He says that
in not less than dozen different
counties in Kansas agents of the
school book trust are trying to make
contracts with school boards and to
brighten school boards that have par
tial agreements to continue using the
old books. One of the most aggressive
agents, he says, is Blazer of Wichita.
Another who is making trouble, is To-
Gated at Pittsburg, ard is canvassing
the surrounding territory.
In his letter Mr. Stryker says:
''The agents of the book trusts are
doing their best to get school boards
to continue the use of the trust books.
Another thing they are doing, and
that is, keeping the papers filled with
criticisms of my examination Ques-
tiOns. | was told while making the
fight for the adoption of the text book
law, and again when | refused to sell

This is the beginning of their scheme.
They may succeed, but the people
will be told very plainly, as often as
opportunity offers during the next
year and half, of their methods. 1t
is their plan to crush anyone they
cannot buy or brighten into silence.

the profession by them. | have no
apologies to offer for my examination

From present indications it is fair
to predict that the farmer during the
coming year will find himself in the
rather novel position of making
money, provided common prudence is
exercised in the disposition of the
yield. There is going TO De an uE-
usual demand for wheat all over the
world, and most of the deficient crop
will have to be provided for by the
yield Of Kansas grain fields. The
Australian harvest will not begin I'M
til January next, and the crop then
will he short. So that with home
requirements aud a heavy export
trade, while the crop itself can only
be called fair one. the Kansas wheat
growers will have an Alaska bonanza
of their own at me.-KanSas
