Topeka, Kas.. June 1o.-(Special) The
American Book Company has written State
Superintendent Stryker letter. giving its
reasons for failure to put in a bid for sup
plying books to the schools of Kansas.
After telling of its first intention to put a
good quality of literature in a cheap book
the letter continues:
I'VE experimental by manufacturing
samples OF these books and ascertaining
their cost, with a view II possible, of bid

ment of your law. Having given the mat
ter thorough and careful consideration, we
have reluctantly concluded that we can
not afford to bid even this series OF books.
The exceedingly low prices which your law
has fixed. the very much lower prices OF
exchange and the long and differing Pc

TEN of supply set up, making IL necessary
to keep on sale at commission IN each OF

a full line of adoptions rendered to any
one publisher. we do not believe he could
afford to accept 1t. much less could he af-
ford to accept any small part of IL. While
you may find those who will offer you a
certain class of books under the terms OF
your law, we believe the result will be
disappointment both to your people and

RESENT THE REMOVALS.
College Alumni Scores the Pops for
Mixing Politics With the
Institution

Manhattan, Kas., June 10.-(Special.) The
Alumni Association adopted by an over
| whelming vote the following resolutions,
| which should forever set at rest the ques-
ton as TO where they stand in the matter
| OF the recent removal of the members of
| the faculty:
Resolved, The we. the alumni of the
| Kansas State Agricultural college. to-day.
assembled at our old home. express our
| pride at the growth and greatness of our
alma mater Whatever NAV be our fears.
our hopes, our individual opinions, We are
proud OF Its past history and its present
hlgh place in the company OF like institu-
tons. We honor and revere the names OF
the men who have been inseparably con-
ntoted with Its growth and development
The honor brought to the institution by
reason of Its competent president and
| faculty, we feel to be an honor to us in
dividUally, for which we are profoundly
grateful to our friends, the faculty.
Resolved, That we view the recent ac-
ton Of the board of regents in dismisSing
the president and members of the faculty
with regret, with sorrow, with Indignation,
and express for the act our unqualified
condemnation. We regret that any at
tempt should be made from any source TO
behttle or to besmirch the character of the
pl esident or any member of the faculty,
and we pledge ourselves to defend their
honor and good names as Loyalty as We
would defend the honor of our own homes
and families.
Resolved, The policy of this institution,
heretofore maintained. has been one that
tion of training its students for the
shop, the farm. and the home, as
we'll as for the advancement of science and
agriculture, and carefully avoided giving
any attention to political problems that lie
wholly without the province of such insti-
tuttons, and by unusual proceedings of the
recent legislature and the present board Of
regents this policy has been Overthrown,
officers and employees of admitted efficiency
have been dismissed and policy has been
mapped out which makes party fealty the
primary test for purely educational and SCI
entifc positions. We recognize in this
change of policy a dangerous precedent,
and pledge ourselves to by all honorable
means work for the enforcement of our
state institutions from political influence
and control. We regret the disastrous ef-
fectS that must necessarily result in the
experiment station connected with the col
lege from the unavoidable break in the con-
tinuity of the series of experiments now
under way.
Resolved, That we again urge with add
ed emphasis the appointment of one or
more members of the alumni to the board
OF regents. For the retiring members OF
the faculty, we express the hope that their
lives may fall in pleasant places where
their good qualities may continue to exert
an influence in the enlightenment and up
building for such as we: for our alma mater
we Will labor as we have done in the past
that its influence for good may bless many
more OF the young men and young women
OF the great state of Kansas"
