mission merely because Arthur Capper
insisted on having one more political
tentacle on the school systems of Kansas
Trigg Picked Mrs. Billiard.
As to Mrs BuIlard. there is absolutely
no reason why she should be member of
the state school text commission. except
that Fred Trigg of the Kansas City Star
insisted upon her being retained~ Mrs
Buliard was an appointee Of Governor
Hodges aud was reappointed by Governor
Cnpper. This woiud make her political
record internationally Democratic and Re
publican, which is the reason, l suppose.
that Governor Allen was so easily per-
suaded to reappoint her. 1t is outrage
against the 5000 teachers of Kansas and
the One-half million pupils in the Kansas
schools, that the should be forced to use
books selected by Mr.. McNeal and Mrs
put Your Faith in Princes" Until yes
terday, the teachers of Kansas had pro-
found faith in Governor Allen. He had
been elected by an overwhelming majority,
and was understood to have no strings at
tached to his election. The Kansas teach
ers believed that Governor Allen would do
big and constructive things for the schools
of Kansas. AS late as January, Governor
Allen definitely stated to two city super
intendents, whom l can name If necessary
that the appointments on the state school
hook commission would be school peonle.
There is no doubt that Governor Allen
wished to appoint school people on this
commission. for he stated in his interview
of yesterday that he realized the justice in
the claims of the teachers of the state for
more representation on the school book
commission. The only reason he did not
make good this recognition was because he
felt that there was more to gain by pleas
ing Fred Trigg and the Kansas City Star
and Arthur Capper and the Topeka Daily
Capital. than--by rendering Justice to the
teachers of Kansas.
The Way of a Governor Is Hard.
I recognize that Governor Allen was
placed in a delicate position In this mat
ter, but am disappointed that he did not
rise to the Occa sion and prove to the Kan
people that at last Kansas has COVER
ner who wears no collar but his own. Gov
ernOr Allen has demonstrated that Il is
one thing to criticize the federal govern
ment in the matter of the Rattle sof the
Argonne Forest. and entirely another thing
TO ignore the dictates of the Kansas City
Star. Governor Allen has proved his valGr
regarding the cotton growers of the south,
but has vet to prove that he belongs to
the Republican wing of the Republican
party -----

The cemetery, it is said, would be

the land for the burial place, and the
maintenance would be looked after
by the state. The cemetery would
also be open to burial of veterans of
