The AgrIcuItural COLLEGE RnIsode.

EDITOR ADvooATE:--My last Capt.
tai informs me of "the sweeping
change In the management Of the
State Agricultural College" and we
may be sure that a great racket will be
raised over IL, as the Capital already
sets the pace. That paper probably
forgets how a distinguished professor
Of the State University at Lawrence
was driven from that institution and
from che State for holding that more
equitable and just system of taxation
than that of the tariff should be
adopted by the country,
But L was reading the Capital artl.
Gle to nelghbor who was student
at the Agricultural College q few years
since, when he said: "Im not at all
surprised; that is just what might be
expected, can probably interpret
the anlmus Of the movement and the
reason at the bottom Of it. The Presl-
dent and some Of the professors were
intensely partisan, end as politics
waxed warm they could hardly re-
strain Themselves from breaking forth
in open flame. When was there and
an election drew nigh, one Of the pro.
fessors sent for me one evening, and
upon an interview said: 'Mr. j., you
are q Republican, 1 take IT, YES /
answered, 'as much q Republican as
anything. l take little interest In pol
itiCs and know little about Them
We'll, said he, we want you to go
home to vote, and here's @ ticket for
that purpose l answered that my
roommate and l had partially arranged
that; as he was q POpulist, 1t woul Int
affect the result by our voting and
therefore we wouldn't trouble our
selves about it. But said he, 'the

probably your friend won't concern
himself tJ go home for that So,
half persuaded, / took the ticket and
at once told my roommate all about 1t;
and he betOOk himself to the professor
to get ticket also, but returned very
indignant and wrathy at the announce
ment that there were no tickets for
Populists, and he declared chat their
scheme shouldn't succeed with him
and that he would vote anyway.
Therefore, the day before election he
started out on foot, and having accom-.
plished his end, returned and went on
with his studies. But he always main
tanned that he and others of his politi-
cal procliVities were not treated by the
college authorities with the considera-
tion awarded those Of more sstisfsc-
tory politics, though his imagination
and distrust enGendered by the election
episode probably had scmething to do

the fact that the letter begins with per
sonal references, that portion is omit
ted. Referring to the ADVOCATE In
the past, he says:
"It took rank as an authoritative ex-
FOUNDER of doctrines and plstitudes,
and as such rose to the dignity Of
high court among reformers and pro.
gEessive thinkers of the State. And
above all, we hope not to see it abste a
jot or little of its emphasis In its sup
port and advocacy Of the great reforms
and changes demanded by the age and
the progress Of events. Reformers
must be emphatic and explicit to com.
mand attention and approval. The
mass of mankind haven't the time and
the patience to wade through long pro-
Cesses of reasoning and exposition to
arrive at a conclusion. They are af-
fected more by a single heavy blow
than by much pounding, and one preg-
nsnt platitude will inhere In their
minds and memory while pages of
subtle argument pass them like the
idle wind. Such was the theory Of
Wendell Phillips, q most successful
lecturer and reformer. Men cEitiCise
me for the bitterness of my language
said he, 'snd the personality Of my at
tscks. 1t results from my position,
The great mass of people can't tolerate
long argument Of a question. They
must be made to feel 1t through the
hides of their idols. When you have
thrust your spear through the rhin0C-
eros hide Of Webster and Benton in
reference to slavery, every one Of their
partisans feels 1t TO the core. It Is on
this principle that every reform must
take for It's text the mistakes and the
wriggling and twisting of It's enemies
she who deals with great evils gin
gerly or with gloves accomplishes little
and only has his labor for his pains.
Such treatment don't reach The popular
heart and produce results. Monopo-
lies and trusts must be dealt with as
public enemies warning upon mankind
AS vampires feeding upon humanity,
and be denounced as such. And so of
other popular evils and dangers. They
should be treated with hot stuff; not
administered In a vulgar and indis-
criminate manner, but with judgment
and discretion. But the animus should
be war to the knife and from the knife
to the hilt. This may seem pretty rude
and rough-shod to the weak and the
conservative, but 1t Is the only treat
ment that reaches the popular heart
and brings about results. OF course 1t
must be based on facts and entTenched
In truth. And one stern fact thus set
forth Is worth a hundred mere sugges-
tiOns Of 'desirabiIities devoutly to be
wished
"And I trust that the ADVOCATE
will take the bold ground that it is the
duty OF our Government to give the
