Expansion the Doom

CHICAGO. May s.-Representa-
tives of nearly 100. colleges and uni
versities throughout the country are
attending the conference which open
ed at Northwestern university today
to consider the relation of the college
to the professional school.
The conference arises from the gen.

educators that the expansion of the
American high schools and of the
professional schools will ultimately
destroy the Usefulness of the college

The conference will endeavor to
agree upon some method of co-opera-
ton between the independent college
and the university professional
schools or independent professional
schools, by which mutual recogni-
ton of work done in the respective
institutions may be secured, thus in
surfing to the Independent college

Capitol Commissioners.
From the Bstesvllle Guard.


Pursuant to the provisions of
an act for the construction of a
new state capitol, the legislature
convened in joint session Tuesday
to select five commissioners to
have charge of the work. There
was much caucusing and lOg-rOll.
ing, as one might expect, and out
of it all came the following selec.
tons:
John B, McCaleb, Sharp coun.
ty.
DR.. j. NJ. Flenniken, Ouachita
county.
II. w. McFarlane, Sebastian
county.
w B Alexander, Jefferson coun.
ty.
2. T. Matthews, Craighead coun-
ty.
The legislature has done itself
much credit in choosing these
commissioners. They are men en-
inently well qualified for the i'm.
pOrtant trust confded to their
care. We are especially gratified
with the selection of Judge John
B. McCaleh Of our neighboring
county of Sharp. Judge McCaleb
is worthy Of implicit trust in any
position which public or private
duty may assign him. To good
business capacity and high order
of common sense there is added
in his composition the loftiest in
tegrity and a trustwOrthiness that
is absolute. Flenniken, McFar.
lane, Alexander and Matthews are
men of the same splendid type.
With such "a these in charge, we
may rest easily upon the safe as
surance that the state capitol will
be honestly built, and as expedi.
tiously and economically, also, as
the means placed at their disposal
will allow. The state is to be con.
graduated upon having disposed
of this important matter in such a
satisfactory manner,

In letter to Representative T..

SAYS that he has never given the
question of his possible candidacy
for governor any serious thought.
He says in part:
III am in no sense a politician
and am utterly unacquainted with
the strife, anxiety and confusion
that are no doubt incident to what
is called a political life. Whether
| shall or shall not at later day
enter the lists for Democratic sui
frages for the governors office, |
feel profoundly thankful for the
kind words you and other friends
have spoken. Yoa may say to
any gentleman who feels inclined
to entrust that office to me that if
! shoald receive It ! will endeavor
to gise the state an able admins
tratiou. but whether able or not,
the administration will be clean,
inside and out. There is no criti-
cism of the present or of any pre-
yious Democratic administration
of this state. It's simply the only
promise | feel absolutely qualified
TO make about any Office. While
am not a candidate and not de-
sirous of becoming a candidate, |
should esteem myself not worthy
follower of the footsteps of Thomas
Jefferson should | become aware
that it WAS the general desire of
my party that l should serve it in
even the bumblest capacity if, I'M.
der the circumstances, | were TO
decline the honor. 1t is an honor
to serve. | am aware that time
and again, even in greater AFFAIRS
than this, the people have pushed
aside able and distinguished as.
pirants for their SURFACES and
conferred them HpOn humber and
more nnaspiring persons. Should
such thing happen to so humble
a man as myself, ought not |, in
such an emergency, to strive to

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh OF

Bladder troubles almost always result
from a arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity OF being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have

covery and book that tells all about it,
