lowA,s AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

One OF the most patent evidences OF
the great prosperity being enjoyed in
Iowa is the statement OF President a.
B. Storms of the Iowa state college,
relative to the needs of that institu-
ton. He says:
The committee on legislative ask
ings appoined by the board Of trus-
tees OF the Iowa State College OF Agri-
culture and the Mechanic arts find
that the most serious embarrassment
under which the institution is labor
ing is the embarrassment of prosperi-
ty The student enrolment which
last year reached an aggregate OF l.
3l2 bids fair this year to come near
1900 This means that every one of
the twenty-three departments in the
institution is crowded well nigh to it's
utmost capacity. The classes are
large and it Isl found by comparison
that the teachers are many of them
doing one-third more work than is re-
iquired of teachers in other institutions.
The trustees are faced by the neces-
Sity of increasing the teaching force
and the equipment throughout the en-
tire institution Conservative men
outside as well as inside OF the Iowa
State college anticipate an attendance
of from 1000 to $500 within the next
three or five years. This will necessi-
tate doubling the present faculties and
the present equipment.
The rapid growth in attendance
during the past few years bears out
the prediction that there will be a
still greater increase within the next
| few years and indicates the necessity
OF making preparation for the care Of
these students.
| This will be one of the important
questions that will require the atten
tion of the members of the general as
sembly this year. Among the items
/ to be. asked for the college will be al
! appropriation TO furnish the new mair

cHAMBERLAlN,s PROTECTIVE
CAMPAIGN.

Former Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain is making thorough campaign in
favor of his fiscal or protective tariff
policy. He is presenting to the people
The conditions that exist in the United
Kingdom in a mDBt clear and forceful
manner, and his canvass seems to be
meeting with considerable favor AT a
meeting held in Birmingham recently
he presented to his hearers review
of the conditions that have existed in
England for the past half a century.
He quoted Golden, the nestor of the
free trade policy in Great Britain, as
having said that the United States
would eventually abandon manufactur-
ing and that their workmen would
go back to the land and dig and delye
for us"
He showed by the present status of
affairs in the United States how far
wrong Golden was in his predictions
He rightly declared that Americans
had not so conceived their national
destiny and did not believe that they
were created by Providence to dig and
delve and plow for the benefit of Great
Britain. He pointed out that the peo-
pie of America knew OF their great re-
sources and behind the tariff wall they
had built up numerous and varied in
dustries until they had reached stage
where, not satisfied with the extent of
their own markets. they were inyad-
ing those of the United Kingdom
Mr. Chamberlain had no fault TO
find with the people of the United
States for doing as they have, but he
appealed 10 the people of Great Britain
to rise 10 the necessity of the occasion
and asked them whether they would
adhere 10 the old falacious system or
adopt another that would mitigate at
least this American commercial invas.
ion. He characterized those who OPP
posed the preferential tariff policy for
the colonies as persons lacking the de
sire to bring the colonies closer TO the
mother country and preferring to dc
more for strangers than for their own
flesh and blood. He pointed out the
value of imperial unity and some OF
the great accomplishments that might
be obtained with the proper encourage
ment sof the people of England.
Mr. Chamberlain is making strong
campaign for his fiscal policy and is
bringing many people OF England t.
the realization of the Importance Of
some such measure as he proposes.
