same university, and portion of
 the news paper press, have branded
 the episode as an unwarranted
 attempt to muzzle free speech.
 Upon the other hand those who
 speak for Mrs. Stanford boldly aver
 that there is no intention upon her
 part of deterring the gentleman
 from presenting his views upon
 such problems whenever and wher-
 ever be desires; but that Stanford
 university has the right to cease
 paying him for ventilation of doctrines which its founders deem dangerous if not worse. There is a great deal of force in the conten- ton of the friends of Mrs. Stanford.
 But it is a question whether the course adopted will not do more harm than to have permitted Prof. essor Ross to continue his teach ings unchecked. He is now given an advertisement and notoriety which widens his field of work from the lecture room of a great school to embrace the sweep of a continent, and bis audience will be among the millions where before 1t was limited to hundreds. If his doctrines are pernicious they are given far wider dissemination, and among minds less competent to discriminate and wisely accept or reject, than those gathered within the walls of university. Like Pandora's box closed, in the uni versity his doctrines, if pernicious, were confined within bounds; out of the univefsity-and fired out they are like the same malign box opened: the evil is scattered to the four winds of heaven.

A MISTAKEN REMOVAL.

Much has been printed of late
 about the practically summary dis
 missal from the chair of social economics at Stanford university of
 Prof. Edward A. Ross, who has several years past occupied that ex- alted position, and is looked upon as one of the rising authorities of the day upon social and economic questions. From the mass of stuff which has been printed in the matter it seems that in addressing several public meetings upon social and economic problems, Professor Ross has taken ground which has deeply
 offended Mrs. Stanford and those most closely associated with her, both in California and in the east ern states. In one address the distinguished educator took strong ground against the admission into the United States of cheap Mon golian laborers, whether Japanese or Chinese, passing his opposition upon scientific economic grounds. Upon another occasion he delivered . public address advocating the Bryanite idea of free coinage of sill yer at the ratio of sixteen to one. Upon a third occasion Professor Ross inveighed against street car line monopolies, and the monopoly of gas and water franchises in large cities, from among which have proceeded large part of the colos- sal Stanford fortune which has been devoted to endowment of the university where the gentleman is a teacher. His utterances upon these questions have been assumed by Mrs. Stanford and her friends as reflection upon the methods by which the great endowment of the university was got together finding fault with his own bread and butter, so to speak, by the professor. So, after long and mature consideration. Mrs. Stanford, who under the deed of endowment controls the university during her life time, directed that after the first of January Professor Ross shall be retired from the faculty. His an nual engagement terminates with the schloastic year in January, but he is dismissed six months earlier, with full pay for the year.
 Upon both sides a great deal has been said, and considerable heat has been engendered in the con- troversy. Professor Ross friends, among them another professor in

TEXAS SHERIFF
TAKES ATKINS
Wanted For Murder in Tom
Green County.
HE KILLED A MERCHANT
Quarrelled Over Payment of a Bill
Admitted His Identity When
Arrested.
HE KILLED A MERCHANT

Sheriff G. w. Shield Of Tom Green
count, Texas. arrived in Butte via the
Oregon Short Line this morning and left
on the; southbound rain this afternoon
with Dave Atkins, who is wanted in
Tom Green county for the murder of r.
r. Hardin IN March 20, 1897.
Atkins was arrested by the sheriff in
this city 10 two weeks ago and plac-
ed in the county Jail to await instructions
from Texas. He had been in Butte since
last June, and at the time of his arrest
was working at the Colorado smelter.
Ever since the crime was committed the
Texas authorities had been looking for
him. Printed descriptions had been sent
to all parts of the country, one of the
copies being sent to Sheriff Regain. When
taken into custody Atkins admitted he
was the man wanted.
Sheriff Shield called at the Jail, at
once recognized Atkins and had quite a
talk with him.. He had known the pris-
oner for years. Atkins agreed to go
pack to Texas without the necessity Of
e%xtradition papers, which fact accounts
for the early departure of the two men
for the south.
In speaking Of the murder Sheriff
Shield stated that Hardin was a mer-
chant in Tom Green county and was not
on good terms with Atkins On account
of a bill. the latter owed him for goods.
They became involved in a quarrel and
Hardin knocked Atkins down. Atkins
then shot Hardin, killing him instantly.
Atkins escaped. He was traced through
New Mexico, Arizona and other sections,
but his short stay in each place prevent
ed his capture. Finally he wound up in
Butte and, like Carl Hickman, the alleg-
ed hog thief of Missouri, remained too
long. He is about 30 years old, and
Sheriff Shield says he is one of the best
gun shots in the state of Texas. At the
time of the tragedy he had a wife, but
after his flight from Tex she secured
a divorce and married another man.
Atkins evidently did not correspond with
anyone in Tom Green county, for he
knew nothing of the departure of his
wife until Sheriff Shield told him.
