REPLY LOJ. C.BENNETT, TRUSTEE
MARTIN INSTITUTE.
- .
Mr. Editor: —lt is very strange
that friends cannot disagree and
still be friends. Why this Martin
Institute case should be pulled down
and made a personal matter is be
yond comprehension.
Is it possible that we have come
to the point in the history of this
great nation that when we find one
of our fellow beings in some office
that he must be considered “out of
reach” of friendly criticism? Is it
a fact that when one enjoys the
honor of being a trustee of some
institution of learning that the
little fellow on the outside must say
“yes” and clap his hands while the
procession goes by? We, on this
side of the branch, propose to let
the public know what our officers
are “about,” when they represent
us.
In this controversy the writer has
tried to be respectful toward Mr.
Bennett, trustee of Martin Institute,
and written and spoken of him as a
trustee and not as personal matter.
We have nothing against the gentle
man. personally, hut there is a dif
ference of opinion as to his manner
as trustee of conducting a suit in
the courts.
In his first communication he
says, “to intimate that Mr. Bone
is not capable of acting on his own
judgment would be a reflection on
that gentleman and I am far from
doing it.’’ Now then, if this trustee
did not wish to reflect on Mr. Bone
why did so many parties see Mr.
Bone during the week in which the
irjuction case was heard? After all
the others failed why did Mr. Bur
nett, trustee, go “at dark” on day
before the case was heard. It will
be remembered that this trustee
said that, “his la.-t reference to me
is a fabrication from beginning to
end ” “What he says passed be
tween Mr. Hone and myself did not
occur, etc.” Mr. Bennett, trustee,
in his last piece admits that he went
to Mr. Bone’s “about first dark,”
on day Indore trial. That was one
thing I charged him with. He ad
mits asking Bone to come to his
office. That’s another charge. This
trustee admits presenting a letter
(not affidavit) to Mr. Bone. Another
charge. But more about that before
1 close this communication.
Before four mutual friends Mr.
Bone has appeared and said that
everything 1 charge against the gen
tleman is correct except one point.
Bone said that he thinks I misun
derstood him as to the party that
told him “to send back to school
and it would not cost him a cent.”
He stated that he was satisfied that
from what he said to me before and
after Mr. Bennett’s nameVas used
was calculated to lead me to think
that Mr. Bennett was meant. I
gladly withdraw that part of my
charges against the trustee and his
methods of conducting a suit, as de
fendant, for Martin Institute.
On Sth instant 1 requested Mr.
Bone to furnish me with ti.c'Tetter’
that Mr Bennett, trustee, said he
had asked him (Hone) to sign.

Mr. W. E. White, City.
Dear Sir: In reply to your re
quest, 1 hand you herewith the pa
per that I was asked to sign on
night before the “case” in Athens.
I suppose in the strictest sense
it may not he called an affidavit,
as 1 first told you it was, still, 1 can
see hut lit lie difference. 1 consider
l can tell the truth without swear
ing it. As 1 am a friend to all
p irties concerned 1 hope this mis
*
undeistanding may be settled speed
ily. Truly your friend,

SIX VARIETIES.
A Topeka newspaper man came
to his office the other morning, and
looked and acted grouchy and sore.
“What’s the matter?”' asked a
co-siave.
“Been planting cucumbers,” was
the answer.
“How many hills?”
“Oh, a couple of dozen,” he re
plied rubbing his bicepts, “and I’m
danged glad that I won’t have to
touch ’em again until I pick them
for pickles.”
“Well, not so fast,” was the
other’s cheerful comment. “You’ve
got to pick bugs.”
“Bugs?”
‘ You bet —six varieties,” was
the stunner
“ls that all?”
“Sure.”
How do \ou know? ’ ’
“Tried it one year.”
“How’d you come out?”
“Well, it’s rather a long story,
but I'll tell it just to encourage you.
One year another newspaper chap
and I took a notion that we would
go into the farming business. We
leased 105 acres on the n - t h bank
of the Kaw river, just west of North
Topeka, and planted it in potatoes
The flood swept them ill away.
We tried again the next year, and
thinking everything all right, we
went to New York on the strength
of the good prospects. When we
got to New York we happened to
see in a Hearst paper a small Tope
ka dispatch telling about big floods
in the Kaxv valley. That looked
j bad enough, but our ground was
high and we hoped. All the way
home the newspapers kept telling of
! the flood. We got to Kansas City,
i and came on to Topeka on the first
: train after the high water- As we
raced along we saw the bottom farms
under water and washed out.
“Hard luck,” commented my
fellow farmer. “Awfully hard
on these poor fellows. But- but--*
we’re up higer, and just watch the
price of potatoes rise, and watch us
get the dough for ’em! Sorry for
those lowland fellows —hut look out
for us.”
“As soon as we got to Topeka we
telephoned (ait to the farm which
we had leased. No one answered
the phone. Our faces fell four feet.
It was all off, we knew. Investiga
tion showen that our farm was the
first to l)e washed out.
“So we decided to raise cucum
'
hers, because they still had a chancel
to mature. By that time we were
6<SOO apiece in the hole*. We thought
we would raise the 'cumbers on;

scientific principles, and planted
about 25,000 bills. Then we wrote
to Manbatten, to the state agricul
tural school, and asked the bug de
partment for scientific information 1
about cucumber bugs. We got back
a four-page lettei —and I’ve filed
that letter away and will always
keep it. It related to six different
kinds of hugs which infest cucumbers
The first one is a little yellow scamp,
who seems to know that cucumber
seeds were planted, and he comes
right on deck to do damage. Next
comes a little red-winged pest, and
then a little black one that looks
like a turtle. I’ve forgotten what
the other three look like. A string
of ways were given in the advice on *
how to get rid of the bugs. We
handed the letter to a newspaper
friend of ours and after three days
and nights of the hardest kind of
work he figured out that if all six
varieties of those hugs appeared on
our cucumber patch it would cost
us just $165,000 to get rid of them.
Now that’s an actual fact- About
three of the kinds of bugs had to
be hand-picked. That was the
only way to execute them, 'Then
there xvere sprays and powders
galore, hut the last bug was the
meanest of them all. We were ad- .
vised that when this bug turned up
we should get a tub for every cu
cumber hill and turn the tub over
the plant. Under the tub we were
to set a saucer filled with a certain
acid. The tub had to be “stomped”
down tight, so that none of the acid
fumes would escape. Where the*
cucumber plant was too large and
had spread too much, we xvere told
to cover it with a wet tarpaulin and 4 {
set the acid under that.
“Some of the bugs were to be
screened out; that is, we were ad
vised to build a frame of lumber
and tight wire screening and cover
each plant. Remember all the
while, we had 2d,000 plants.
“Well, when our newspaper
friend got through figuring —and
these were not all the devices to
murder the bugs —he handed us a
statement that about $165,000, if
all the bugs appeared and the scien
tific advice were carefully followed,
would keep our cucumbers free of
the pests-”
“What’d you do?” asked the
24-hill man.
“Oh, we found an old darky
down by the Slumganunga and in
about five minutes he gave us all
the advice we wanted and needed.
And it worked like a charm.. \\ e
had the eueu.nl>cr crop of history,”
was the reply.
The other retl eted a minute, and
then suddenly inquired: “Say,
