He is recommended at a salary sal-ary of $720 next year, and must furnish his own house No comment Is needed to emphasize this striking Injustice, and the using of Ills position for personal benefit ben-efit by Kerr. Has Contiact Been ViolatedP In tho contract with tho president of the colleg.. It Is specifically stated that he bo allowed his salary, tho uso of ono house and the keep of a team of horses Kerr has kept at least three horses at tho col-Uge col-Uge since his term as president and has used all tho others for his family, or peisonally. Ax Fal'.s in Many Places. In regard to the eighteen men who havs been forced out of the college. In Justice to President Kerr, It might be said that no doubt ho may havo had good reason for dismissing somo of th so men, but Is there not something wrong at tho foun- taln-he.nl If eighteen m n. m'Ht of them with more than State reputation aro forced out In llvo brief years? Tho ox has fallen not only upon the men who were there when K';rr cams, but upon those ho placed thero himself, showing that he has not known what he wanted when ho employed em-ployed them, or else his political debts htn so pressed him that he had to pay them off faster than would make a giid showing. Both of these reasons will probably be found to entc-r Into tho reasons rea-sons why men were expelled. Another, it Is alleged Is that Kerr has not, and i r has had any sympathy with the agricultural ag-ricultural courses of tho college, but that he aspires to becomo a university preside presi-de nt. Merrill's Resignation. A copy of the resignation of Pr.if Lewis A. Morrill has Just been secured by The Tribune. It Is as follows: Heeretary Bttell, Agricultural CoilrRO of Utah: In vh-w of the unfortunnto OOndltlOIM exlsllne m ihw Acrleullural college, and bo-couso bo-couso of the fact that I am not In ynifathy ror In hartrvny with the tdmlnlsl ration of President Kerr, I herewith ton'lcr my resignation resig-nation ns a number of th-.- faculty of the College, jn-l on asronotnlM of tho experiment tm:'.n. I had withheld my resignation hoping hop-ing that the Charges which President Kerr ha as u win i me would be Investigated, but owing to the fact that thn l,..ar,l fulled to Investigate i-ueh rhnrges and the disposition on tho n.xrt of certain members of the iKmrrl to accM false nd mallelous rumors aguluot me therhv showing prejudice ugulnKl me, I i,. hot dtslre to contlnu longer under such conditions My policy regarding tho college w,,rk u:i si clMTly outlined In the UOVeT-i,, UOVeT-i,, i m Inlk todm iJiiri' Hi it I f-" l that I have been pubflctv vindicated so far ai my loyalty to the Institution Is concerned.

MJ-nilll.L This leaves the fight between Kerr and the field. Will the bnaril submit blindly t.. putting In as president a politician 'f Kerr's caliber at the expense of competent compe-tent men?
