In view of the critical illness of Pres
ident Beardshear of Iowa State Coll
lege. it may not be inappropriate to re-
call that II Very slight change of condi-
tions might have made him president of
Iowa State University in place of head
of the Iowa State College. The bill for
the creation of the board of control or
iginaly contemplated placing the edu-
institutions of the state under
that board in q manner similar to the
other state institutions. This plan was
defeated largely by reason of the oppo-
sitior of persons connected with the
,.ollaCaS Dr. Ra1r,ichaor was one of
the strongest opponents of the plan.
Afterwards. when the board had been
organized and was together. there was
some consideration of the state educa-
tional institutions. and this was at
time when there was a vacancy at the
head of the State University If the
Beartlshear would have been selected
for president of that institution. such
was the high regard in which he was
held by those who knew him we'll. 1t
is due to DR.. Beardshear to say that he
probably would have made no difference
in his course even had he known this
at the time. as he was honestly and
consistently opposed to change in the
present system of management of the
colleges.

d.. where he is engaged in business. is
in the city and may remain until after
the republican state convention. He
says there is no doubt whatever of the
election of the entire republican state
ticket in South Dakota by a larger ma
jority than ever before. Conditions in
that state are such, he says, that the
state can not very we'll be other than
republican. "Proseprity has never been
more prevalent in South Dakota he
says. than at the present time. All the
cities and towns are growing and pros
pering this year. Everything is on the
up-turn Crops are big all over the
state. 1t is true that there was some
weather early in the sea-
son, but today there are good crops all
over the state, not in one or two places
but in all the counties. I believe that
South Dakota is destined 10 be {; great
state. The tide has turned that way.
There is some railroad building in the
state. The Milwaukee has built on up
into North Dakota to connection With
the Northern Pacific and the latest re-
port is that the Milwaukee is going
right across the state to the Black Hills
and on 10 the Pacific coast. The route
will be along the cattle tr-il which the
Milwaukee company owns thru the
northern part of the state. This was
granted the company some years ago
and water tanks and resting places
erected all the way The building of the
first road across the state will be an
event of great Importance and value"
