Topeka.-Doctor Waters has re-

the State Board of Administration is
as follows:
Il have the honor to tender my
resignation as president of the Kan

take effect at such time as my work
at the institution may be cared for in
q satisfactory manner, or as may meet
the pleasure and convenience of the
board.
Il resign to accept the position of
managing editor of The Kansas City
Weekly Star. In my new work 1 trust
/ shall be in position to promote stead
lily the highest interests of the state
agricultural college, as well as those
of the other institutions of Kansas.
my very pleasant relations with
the officers and students of the insti-
tuition and with the members of the
board of administration are severed
with feelings of profound regret.
From the time when I first entered
upon my work in Kansas nine years
ago have had the earnest, consider
ate and devoted cooperation of all
the men and women who have been
associated with the work and progress
of the college.
while it is with deep regret that
conclude these most pleasant official
relations, l hope in my new work to
continue my efforts for the better
ment of agriculture and education, not
only in Kansas, but in the whole Mid
die West. Free from the pressure of
administrative duties, I shall be able
to give still closer study to the prob
lens of this great region, upon which
much of the future development of
the country must rest. I am entering
upon my new work only because
feel that it offers an unusual oppor-
tunity for specific service to this
great region.

RECOGNITION OF THE UNION

Recognition of the union" after all.
implies merely a guarantee of good
faith on the part of employer toward
his employees.
The Importance of the demand for
recognition of the union" may be
very well judged by the amount of op-
position it encounters from the en-
ploying class.
There cannot be any question of the
"sacredness of contract" with trade
union whose actual existence is as
sailed. The contract itself is abrogated
by the act Of assault.
The man who insists upon running
his own business" would be more con-
sistcnt and more successful il he would
recognize the line between his business
and the business of the human race.
Labor cannot make an improvement
in its own condition without breaking
the friendship 90 of the employer
who has assumed the whole right to
attend to that sort of thing-in his
own good time.
The organized workers may agree
to the employers proposal to deal with
his employees "as individuals" as soon
as the employer agrees to abandon the
trust, corporation, company, and CO.
partnership, and go back to the prim-
itivc relations of master and man.
And that will be plenty soon enough.
