from parental pride. The same old

Inauguration of President Angel, the
increase in the number of it's students,
its widespread influence and it's grow
ing reputation are the best proofs of
the marked success of his administra-
ton. 1t is due to his remarkable abil-
ity that the University of Michigan
not only ranks among the first insti-
tutions CT learning in the United
States, but serves as a model for all
state-endowed colleges. "As participant
in public services, DR.. Angel has served
as United States minister plenipoten-
tiary to China, was one of the three
commissioners to negotiate a new
treaty with China; aided in the ne

ABSURD DAIRY LAWS.
Legal Enactments Won't Make Good
Butter Nor VIII They Make
Clean Farmers.

In commenting on the clamor of
many creamery butter makers for
more rigid laws relative to the de-
livery of good milk to the creamery,
Mr.. A. w. Trow, of Minnesota, in the
St. Paul Farmer, well says:
1T may seem an advantage to some
butter makers to shirk the RESPONSE
bility of refusing bad milk or cream,
and have this responsibility carried
by the state, but laws have not the
required elasticity nor exceptions.
They cannot discriminate on quail
ity. Laws can never step in to take
the place of the tact and judgment
of a butter maker. If good milk,
good cream and many other good
things could be obtained by making
laws we would now be subsisting on
the angelic diet of the millennium,
instead of milking cows to make
butter. 1t is as difficult to legislate
cleanliness as godliness into us farm
ers. Better results will be obtained
by politely, kindly but firmly, refus-
ing all unwholesome milk or cream,
be it one day or week old The
greatest requisite to creamery sue
cess is cooperation among patrons,
directors and butter makers; and the
enforcement of drastic laws without
great discretion is the quickest way
of destroying cooperation. Three
years ago we heard the head man of
new creamery say that the easiest
way to get along with a crowd of
farmers was TIC lay down set OF
iron clad rules with severe penalties
attached, draw a distinct line and
whenever one of them failed to toe
the scratch in complying with the
rules to unceremoniously annihilate
him. With the aid of this policy it
took this man but two years to COM
pletely annihilate the creamery. The
farmer will stand coaxing and rea-
soning but no bluff"
1t is almost universally true that
those creameries are the most sue
cessful that possess butter makers
that have kindly, patient tact and
the disposition to get out among
their patrons and convince them of
the great value of better methods.

RECEPTIVE MR.. CLEVELAND.
full to Him and He Does
Not Refuse.

Some of the democratic politicians
are angry at Cleveland for his break
in denying the truth of the Galveston
News interview. The News man rep
resented the eX-president as saying
that he had never had the thought,
since he left Washington ixyears ago,
OF reentering public life. Cleveland de-
-lared that "the substance of the in
terview as published is in some re-
spects grossly Inaccurate But he
refused to be specific, and the public
is left in the dark as to his exact atti-
tude toward the candidacy.
OF course, nobody has offered the
candidacy to Mr.. Cleveland, and there
fore he cannot decline it. He could,
however, in half dozen words, stop
all this talk which couples his name
to say those words. Probably he, like
most of his countrymen, is vain, and
likes to keep his neighbors guessing
as to his position. 1t is only recently
that the ex-president has been re-
habilitated. For year or two after
he left the white house, in 1897, he
was, with a large majority of his
party, about the most thoroughly dis
credited of all the executives whom
the country has had. A powerful mi
nority of his party, in fact. is still
against him. Nevertheless, this in
cense which is being burned to him by
the idolators is grateful to him. says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. =
The position of the Republicans to-
ward the Cleveland candidacy may be
set forth in few words. Nothing
would crafty them more than to see
Mr.. Cleveland put up for the presi-
dency in 1904. With him as the leader
Of the opposition, the republicans
would be able to get as long lead as
they had in 1900, and perhaps a longer
one. Cleveland could carry no state
of the middle west or west. He would
be beaten in all of the border states
which have at any time recently been
carried for the republicans. His
friends claim that he could carry New
York. They are probably mistaken.
New York remembers the panic which
entered with him the last time he was
elected and that state does not want
to have the experience repeated at SC
early day. Cleveland's candidacy
would be good thing for the repub-
licans, and they will naturally do all
they can to delude the democrats into
taking him up. For selfish reasons, the
republicans are anxious to roll up as
large majority in the electoral col
lege of 1904 as they can get.

WILL SET IOWA RIGHT.
False Position Republicans of That
state Were Placed In Will
Be Remedied.

1t is now certain thta the iowa
;dea," out of which the democrats
hoped to make much capital for the
next presidential campaign, is thing
of the past. 1t has been demonstrated
that the plank advocating the removal
of all import duties that may afford
shelter to monopoly which the last
Iowa republican state convention in
serted in its platform, did not have the
approval of the majority of the party
i'll the state, for the reason that it is
we'll understood by most republicans
who have studied conditions that tar
if tinkering would not abolish OR even
mitigate any evils that may have
grown out of the formation of the
large industrial combinations, says
the Albany Journal.
1t is virtually settled, that the next
platform that will be adopted by the
republican convention of Iowa will
contain no plank hostile to the protec-
tive system. To Senator Allison,
Iowa's senior representative in the up
per house of the United States legisla-
ture, has been assigned the task of
writing tariff plank whose adoption
will put the republicans of Iowa on the
same ground with the party in all
other states. 1t will advocate, in sub
stance, that revision of the tariff be
undertaken only when it has been
proved beyond doubt that changes in
parts of the schedule are necessary,
and recommend to the people that the
making of any changes be entrusted
only to those who have steadfastly
upheld the American protective sys-

For a time the republicans of Iowa
were placed in false position by i'll
considered action of their representa-
tives in the convention; but they will
soon be set right again and the democ-
racy will no longer be able 10 point to
Iowa and say that it is receiving re-
publican support for its plea for the
resumption of tariff tinkering.

The president of one of our western
universities reports that there are al
ways more college presidencies vacant
than there are men competent to fill
them. Then it would seem here is a
field for the aspiring young profess
sor, field by no means overworked.
But he should be fully cognizant of
the requirements-''a higher order of
administrative ability, together with
the practical grasp of mind we'll
trained in business methods" He must
be equal to the educational function
and the ceremonious duties of his Of
fee. He must be something of an ora
tor. He must travel from place to
place at any and every season of the
year, to address learned societies or
gatherings of alumni in different cit
les; he must be the guest of sister
universities-he is expected, in short,
to be at everybody's beck and call,
while 1t the same time he is supposed
to familiarize himself with each de-
tail of the daily life of his own insti-
tuition. He must know and Judge the
men who carry on its work; he must
remove their difficulties, soothing the
irascible and satisfying the unreason-
able, and carrying on the whole thing
with tact, and yet with conscientious
fidelity to duty"

college, situated in his native town,
and in that small Ohio college, and at
that early age he began the study
of the Hebrew language, in which
study he later was TO become so dis
tinguished. He entered upon gradu-
ate work at Yale when only II years
of age, and at 10 received from that
university the high degree of Phi. d.
Now he was ready to enter upon his
work as an educator.
We find him while still in his teens
the principal of Masonic college, at
Macon, Tenn. At the end of year
there, he accepts the position of tutor
in the preparatory department at
Dennison university at Granville, o.,
remaining in the Granville Institution
three years. Next, DIR. Harper labored
in the Baptist Union theological semi
nary, at Morgan Park, ILL.,. occupying
the chair of Hebrew and Old Tesla
ment eXegesis. His fame as a He
brew scholar spread; he began to teach
Hebrew by correspondence, and also
organized the American Institute of
Hebrew. Then we find DR.. Harper as
ISOLATED with the Chautauqua move
ment and serving as principal of the
system. He received a call to Yale.
and there filled the position of pro-
fessor of Biblical literature, and later.
in the divinity school, served as in
structor in Semitic languages. In 1891,
he sailed for Europe, to spend year
in travel and study, before assuming
the responsibility of head of the new
University of Chicago.
At the age of "a, DR.. Harper became
head of this new seat of learning, an
institution that to-day, after the pas
sage of only IL years, has prestige as
well as bigness to commend it. How
ever, one cannot avoid the habit of
mentioning figures when referring to
the University of Chicago, SO we will
allude to the 1864 students enrolled
the school year just come to a close.
and to the $21, 100000 that up to the
moment represents the sum bestowed
on this sturdy infant university.
The University of Michigan has had
at it's helm for % years the noted edu-
Gator, DR.. James Burrill Angel. Dr..
Angel was originally an eastern man,
was born and brought up in Rhode Is
land. He was graduated at the head
of his class from Brown university
in 1s49, and after graduation and some
time spent abroad in travel, accepted
the chair of modern languages at
Brown, remaining there six years. Dur
ing this period he took much interest
in public affairs, and ever since has
been more or less prominent in pub
lie life. While in residence in Provi-
dence, be had editorial charge ct the
