President Waters, as a faithful state
official, was simply insisting on fair
play for all, and common honesty,
and that everyone have an equal
chance at what every tax payer pays
for.
The DrOVers Telegram, of Kansas
City, recently commented ON the
matter as follows:
The Mail and Breeze, of Topeka,
a weekly farm paper, has been call
ed down by Pres. Waters, of the
Kansas State Agricultural College.
The Mail and Breeze was carrying
for its mast head the names of the
college professors who send out press
bulletins, clubbing them Editorial
contributions The inference natur.
ally would be that the professors
were ON the papers payroll and that
the articles were written especially
for the Mail and Breeze. The truth
was that the articles were prepared
for all who cared to use them and
the authors could no more be cousid-
cred editorial writer's for the Mail
and Breeze than for the Concordia
Blade, The Salina Headlight, The
Hutchinson News, or the Drovers Tel
egram.
