TROUBLE AT STANFORD.

There Is trouble at the Stanford uni
verslty. and It IS Of nature to cause
widespread comment.
Il dates back to last November, when
Or. Edward a. Ross was discharged
for the alleged reason that Mrs stan
ford had lost confidence IN his judg-
ment" The specific reason was said to
be that he. in a public address had
advocated laws for the restriction OF
coolie labor. although he knew that the
late Senator stanford had employed
such labor In railroad construction.
This dismissal aroused both the facul-
" and the students Professor George
T.. Harvard denounced the dismissal as
an outrage. and then his resignation
was demanded. Later other resigna-
lions followed, and now the question Is
whether It Is for the best interests OF
American education, that benefactors
OF Institutes OF learning assume the
power Of dlsmlsslng from the service all
instructors who differ with them IN
views. no matter how competent they
may be otherwise
ON this question there are now two
factions one holds that liberty
Of speech IS no longer one OF
the privileges enjoyed by teach
ers In universities. but that
AS one contemporary has H. ready'made
thoughts go with the land and buildings
The other claims that the professors
arst duty II to teach the truth, as he
gees IL and that Il In doing so he feels
II necessary to critIcise existing condl-
uons. he should not be thrown out Oh
that account. Mrs. stanford seems TO
have taken the stand, that the pro-
fessors are merely her hired servants
whom she can dismiss when they Tor
one reason or another. become the OBJ
iects of her personal dislike That this
is an error win De admitted by most
persons Unless the instructors are the
servants ot truth. their mission Is
failure. And unless Institutes OF learn
inc are endowed FOR the purpose OF en-

chairs 10 serve better the cause or
