is the most interesting passage:

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, June 26.-The
investigation of Prof. Garrett Drop
pers, president of the University of
South Dakota, who, it is charged. was
tainted with the government-owner-
ship -of-railroads idea, took a drink
"once" and was guilty of furnishing
beer for a Welsh rarebit when Vermil-
lion society countenanced milk only,
appears to have been the result large
ly of local hostility and persecution.
So ashamed are the citizens of Ver-
million that they have induced their
papers to say nothing about it. The
ministers who repeated private con-
versations and the guest who was
guilty of the bad taste of running be-
fore the board to tell what he had been
served with at President Droppers'
table are not in good repute
Now it is said that Mr.. Droppers will
resign. He has gone East, and it is
said he is so disgusted at the petty
prosecutions which has been directed
against him that he will no longer
consent to be connected with the in
stitution. The charges have been dis
missed.

PAUL HERMAN'S BID
SHOULD BE ACCEPTED
Ruling on Money Order Con-
tract That Was Mr.. Met
Calfe'S UndOind.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 26. =
Assistant Attorney General Robb, OF
the postoff1ce department, today sub
mitted to First Assistant Postmaster
General Wynne a decision in the
money order contract case which holds
that the bid of Paul Herman, of New
York, which was $45, 200 below that OF
quirements of the law and that he is
therefore entitled to receive the con-
tract.
This is the case which led to the re-
cent dismissal of Supt. Metcalfe, OF
the money order bureau. The present
decision has a considerable bearing on
Mr.. Metcalfe's appeal for rehearing
now pending before the president. Mr.
Metcalfe opposed acceptance of the
Herman bid. Mr.. Robb holds that the
award of the contract to any other
than the lowest bidder in this case
would be in contravention of the in
terests of the government and against
sound public policy.
He says that the lowest bidder has
furnished satisfactory evidence of his
financial responsibility and of his me-
chanical ability, and that the conten-
ton Of the present contractors, who
have been fighting Hermans bid, that
bidder must have a plant reasonably
fit to fulfill the contract would result
In sitting competition, as no establish
ment could afford to equip a plant or
the mere expectation Of securing 6
contract.
The president has absolute conf
dence in Postmaster General Payne
and has no thought that he will leave
the cabinet said Senator Hanna to-
day, after an extended visit to the
White house. He added:
The president is satisfied with the
work Mr.. Payne is doing and appre-
ciates his integrity and executive abil-
ity. Mr.. Payne has no thought Of re-
signing, but If he did, his resignation
would not be accepted by the presi-
dent"
Senator Hanna said it was unfor-
tunate that Mr.. Payne's health was sc
poor and that he could not go away
and recuperate because his presence Is
needed in Washington.
Payne Will Not Resign.
1t may be state authoritatively that
the reports that Postmaster Genera
Payne contemplates reiring from the
cabinet are untrue His health is moi
bilfty that he might suffer a complete
breakdown, or that he might be forced
by his physician to give up his work
But at this time the idea of retirement
is not entertained by him. The presi-
dent, 1t is said, has declared that he
would permit him to resign only ir
the event that it became a matter OF
life or death.

secretary OF the Teamsters' National
union, declared today that he is in ia
vor of unionizing the soldiers of the
United States army and afhliating

This statement, made by Mr.. Turney,
was made during an interview in which
he defended the action of Chicago mail
wagon drivers, who since last October
have twice threatened to strike and
interrupt the mail service. but in each
case received an increase of pay. He
said that he could see no impropriety
in the drivers action. He thought it
would be an excellent idea if the SOL
diers could be unionized also, so that
they can stand together and demand
