AN OPEN LETTER TO
MISS BELLE KEARNEY

The following open letter has
been written by Prof. R. E. l..
Sutherland, Secretary of the Mis-
sissippi Uniform School Book
Commission, to Miss Belle Kear-
ney, candidate for the US. Senate:
Jackson, Miss, July 81 ,sl922.
Miss Belle Kearney,
Flora, Miss.
Dear Miss Kearney:
In the Commercial-Appeal, dat
ed July ID, we notice the following
account Of your speech at Hous-
ton, Miss:
Miss Kearney still declares
that the people Of Mississippi are
not getting their Just desters in
the matter Of the price Of the text
books for the children and main
tains that there is graft as she de-
clared before"
| Please let us know at once if
you made the above statement.
If you are making such charges
before the people of Mississippi,
evidently have facts ard proof to
substantiate you. We therefore
consider it your moral duty to
give these facts to the public so
the gully parties may be prosecu.
ted by the law. If this is true
that you are making these charges
against the textbook commission,
or if you question the good intnn-
tions of the commission, we ask
you to please answer the follow
Ing queStl0nS:
/. Who is guilty of graft in
connection with the 1920 text
book adoption?
2. From whom did you obtain
your information?
3. Have you examined the con
tracts made by this commission?
4. Mississippi pays less for
grammar school books than does
Alabama, North Carolina, or South
{ arolina, which states adopted
books about the time we did. Do
you know the reason for this fact?
5, Mississippi pays more for
grammar school books than does
Tennessee, which state adopted
books one year before we did. Do
you know the reason for this fact?
6. Have you made any effort
to obtain the facts in this matter
from the records, or from any
member OF the textbook Com?
You will note that the textbook
adoption of 1920 had nothing to
do with high school books, If you
will inform yourself with and open
mind, as we believe you will do,
we feel sure that you will correct
any erroneous statement you may
have made. The people want the
truth and they should have it.
Miss Kearney, the Text Book
Commission was appointed accord
ing to law and it did its work as
the law directs. 1t is composed
Of nine citizens OF the state who
are not only responsible for theil
acts, but each has a character and
a reputation which no one has q
right to SANDER by false accusa
tion either direct or innuendo. lr
the light of your superior intelli
gence and sense OF justice, we are
unable to believe that you would
make a statement which you dc
not know of your own knowledge
to be true,
Now the records of this adopt
on are public and will apeak iol
themselves. The bids are on fiji,
at the state capitol and will SHOW
; that the cheapest books were adop
4 tied in every case where it wa
possible to get suitable books
I The books will have TO stand oi
their own merits, We have let
, ters of approval from a numbe
of the leading schools stating tina
these books are much better thai
: the old ones, and are giving uni
;, versal satisfaction.

Il shall vote against this treaty."
Senator Johnson said, because il any
foreign alliance can ever speak to this
country with the word must then the
spirit which made this country safe
when it was feeble will have departed
from 1t, and our record in history will
be that in striving to barter our heritage
for safety we lost safety.

Openness. frankness, the sunlight OF

this sort of thing we looked forward in

The President himself really thought
when he addressed the Senate and pre-
sented the treaties that the conference
had been conducted in this fashion. He
evidently was not aware that in all the
minutes presented there is nothing con.

Albany, March I3.
Samuel Untermyer proposed amend

lating stock speculation and bucket shop
swindling.
District Attorney Banton arrived this

The Katln bin has met with powerful
opposition from ''the bucket brigade" OF
