The Coming Drake Meet.

On Saturday, May 3, Dakota Uni
versity and Drake University, Of
Des Moines, Iowa, will measure
their strength in athletic feats. The

of their lives. No other meet in
the state this year will compare
with this in Importance, and Mitch

THE IGNORED ELEMENT.

The feature in the discussion and action
OF the county and city superintendent of
schools that will impress many who read
the reports of their recent meetings is the
largeness of the demands they make upon
the taxpayer and the absence of any re-
gard for the interests of that important
element in the body polite. Possibly if
more OF those who call for larger expendi-
lures were in a position where they could
realize the situation from the viewpoint
of the thousands TO whom the tax on a
small home or farm is burden, they would
be less emphatic i'm their demands based
upon the assumption that it is right to
take one mans savings TO provide adj
vantages for others. The outsider and
the taxpayer have cause to inquire whether

FORESTRY IN INDIANA.
One of the Important Questions to
BE Considered.

Senator'S Parks and Crumpacker called on
Secretary Freeman. of the State Board of
Forestry. yesterday 10 discuss with him
needed legislation on forestry in this State.
Senator Parks is a strong advocate of for
estry and the preservation of the trees He
has interested Senator Crumpacker in the
plans and recommendations submitted by
Secretary Freeman TO Governor Durbin
and it is quite likely that Senator ParKs
will present bill in the next LEGISLATURE
TO cover Mr.. Freemans ideas.
Mr.. Freeman recommends that the State
purchase 1000 acres of waste land in In
diana. 1000 in the northern portion. where
trees suitable for paper pulp could be
planted. and 1000 in the southern or Gen.
trail portion 10 develop hardwood trees He
says this land should not cost more than

be appropriated for properly caring for the
land and making suitable tests In forestry
The forestry question is one OF vast inn
portance TO this State said Mr. Freeman.

ers of waste land can make a profita Bile
business in the raising of trees. There are
692 ESQ acres OF waste land In Indiana. If
the State will provide means for expert

will reap the benefits and Indiana will be

TO ignore colored Republicans in the South
ton is the only defensible one. The move
ment to disfranchise negroes in the South
is Democratic movement. For the Pres
ident to indorse few men who have de-
clared themselves Lilywhite Republicans
because they have accepted the policy of
tacit Endorsement of the scheme by which
hundreds of thousands of voters have been
robbed of the right of suffrage The Pres
ident and Republicans generally cannot do
this because it is not right, and also be-
cause it would be consenting to the annul-
ment Of constitutional amendments adopt-
ed by the influence of the Republican par
ty. 1t is said that the Lilywhites have de-
clared war on the President and will make
an effort TO send to the next national con-
vention delegations opposed to him. That
is. alleged white Republicans, who poll no
value to party, propose to go to the ma
tional Republican convention in 1904 and at
tempt to defeat the nomination of Pres
ident Roosevelt because he will not indorse
the wholesale Acknowledgement of colored
voters. This impertinence revives the sem
timent in favor of curtailing the repre-
sentation in Republican conventions Of
Southern States which maintain an organi-
cation to get the Offices without polling
any votes. The entire South did not poll
half as many votes in the late election as
did the Republicans of Indiana, yet they
have 40 votes in Republican national con-
ventions while Indiana will have but thir-
ty. Now that the evils of this injustice are
evident the proposition made by Postmas-
ter General Payne several years ago to
base representation in conventions on the
vote polled rather than upon the number of
senator's and representatives by which
states are represented in Congress should
be agitated so as to be adopted by the next
convention.
