RENO CORRESPONDENCE
Quite a Batch Of Sensational
Items From the River

ED. APPEAL:
would like to occasionally print a
communication from Reno, as there is
a good deal going on here in this ap-
parently quiet burg which the local
papers don't make any mention of.
OF course. the main topic of conver-
satien here now is the University flare
up. | believe that the majority Of peo-
Pile thinks the Regents have the right
to run the institution and that Prof.
Jackson should have been relieved of
his position if he was devoting too
much time to his own affairs instead of
attending to the business for which
the taxpayers We're, paying him. 1t
seemed pity, however, that he was
let out at this time and should, | think,
have been allowed to carry en- his
/ classes until the close of the tel N. as
he has given the Mining School
splendid reputation. He unC erstOOd
his business, and even admit .ng that
he was away part of the tine, he has
done good work and the successor the
! Regents selected cannot fill his place
by a large majority. The Journal has
craw- tished to Stubs because it found
| out it was wrong.
1t was all hight to bounce Phillips
for his imTutent demand of the Re
gents for explanations. He got what
he asked for, but in the neck, and
probably made the demand in order to
get fired, for he knew it was only a
cue stion of time when he would be in
vlteG to leave.
Now that the Regents have their
mediate walking papers to several
more people, who are Of no mere use
to the place than the fifth wheel of .
coach. They are merely political pen
siorers and that is all you can say fol
them.
There are also several people there
on good. fat salaries, and board throw
: in, who never pay a bill in Reno if they
' can avoid it. They shodd be made tC
t recognize business obligations and sci
e an example to the students in that di
}. rection. for no matter how well YOU
may educate man or woman tn,
fact should be recognized at college
that business honor is frequently NOR,
: of factor to success ia life than edu
, cation \ man who is dead beat anC
Y don't meet his debts soon loses cas-
e and influence. and when professors a
: a public institution try to shirk tn
i payment of just debts. it sets ba
II example and raises the suspicion tina
they are sailing down tn cir salaries t
pack out of the State when they &c
ready to leave.
! But while | am writing possibly
little social gossip will not be out {
place. There is woman in this cit
