Occasionally our student sees
in some shady corner, or fai
off to one side another student
likewise marked with l h c
stamp o f poverty. Povertj
may be no crime, yet in the
midst of this show and splend-
or he who i s thus marked
generally takes a back seat.
Let me digress here a little,
my fellow citizens and taxpay-
ers, to remind you that you
pay these professors’ salaries
and for all this splendor and
squander in and about our
State University.
()ur student wanders to the
power house and there, among
tiie workmen a n d common
laborers, he finds a real wel-
come. They did not look at
the clothes, they considered
the man. It is among these
workmen our student secures
a job at which he works dur-
ing his off-hours during the
three years he spends at the
(state University. There were
many other and better posit-
i ms open for the students but
these were given to the ‘‘pre-
ferred stock,” t h e college
“frut.” men, the kid-gloved
a ristosrats, sons of wealthy
parents, students who did not
need the jobs but only held
them to keep t h e poverty-
stricken students from getting
them.
As our student was approac h
ng president and prominent
nembers of the faculty. He
wanted a diploma from the
Law School without doing tire
actual study to get it. He also
wanted to get high recommend
ations from the University.
Some day he intended to run
for the County judgeship of
Pottawatomie County.
To gratify the a pite of Act-
ing President J. C. Monuett
and some others about the
University, laid against our
student for enforcing the labor;er appeared before the State
laws at the University, and Bar -Commission wit .h a bunch

ion of state law. Letters were
frequently written to the State

no results. Our student finallv

Labor Commissioner and in-
lorm.s him that if the eight-
hour labor law continues to
be violated at the State Univ-
ersity that he, our student,
would proceed to swear out
warrants for the arrest of act-

him in the violation of that

It is no wonder that t h e
man’s class work was a farce.
It is no wonder that his work
as an instructor at the Univ-

While our student

but lest some of our citizens
be misguided and vote for this
fellow, I propose to Walker
this: If he withdraws from the

resigns as a justice of t li e
