The dispatches recently received announced the fact that S. P. King of the State University had taken the second prize offered by the American Protective League for essays on "Home protection indispensable to a supply of low prices of the manufactured commodities required for the people of the United States, and adequate protection of these articles is impossible without protective tariff."
Mr. King was a law student and was graduated this year. He was considered a very industrious though not a brilliant student. He was not at all prominent in University affairs and the few who were fortunate enough to be recorded among his friends will be glad to hear of his success. The article he wrote was a strong protection article, and it is to be hoped that the howl over the State about the University being a free trade hole will be silenced for a time at least. Mr. King's home is in Augusta, Kansas.-Lawrence Journal.
A Valuable Gift.
The University received last week as a gift from Hon George Q. Cannon, of Salt Lake City, a complete set of Mormon publications. Among these arc included Tulledgi's History of Salt Lake City, a very large and expensive volume filled with fine steel engrovings of representative Mormons and containing a very complete history of the rise of Mormonism Western Immigration, and the building up of the Mormon State: Outline of theHistoryand Religion of the Mormons; the celebrated discussion between Orson Pratt and Dr.J.P.Newman on the question "Does the Bible Sanction Polygamy?" The Voice of Warning; The Preceptor; Pratt's Complete Works; The Mormon Doctrine, and the following volumes in what is known as the Liverpool edition, uniformly bound in full morocco and gilt; The Mormon Bible; The Doctrine and Covenant; Key to Theology; Spencer's Letters and Hymn Boyk. Each of these last bears an appropriate inscription of donation to the State University, with the autograph of George Q. Cannon.
This gift is the result of the request of Prof. James H. Canfield, backed by Mr. Geo T. Nicholson, of the Santa Fe railroad who has a warm personal friend in Mr. Spence, Secretary of the Central Mormon Stake. It is believed that very few as complete sets as these are accessible to the public generally. The historical value of the volumes will increase from year to year, and the University is fortunate in securing these just at this time.
