TWAS AT DISPENSARY"
SAYS MRS. R0STAD

Mrs. Laura Rostad, 6 Twelfth street
s, gave additional details this after
noon concerning the death of Fred
Wells, who was supposed to have COM
mitted suicide with carbolic acid, but
concerning whom there was a later sus-
picion that his death had resulted from
his experiences in a dental dispensary.
-. According to Mrs. Rostad, Wells had
her advice he went to the free dispen-
sary. When he returned late in the
afternoon, he was in terrible agony.
-'tGod only knows what I suffered up
there he told Mrs. Rostad ct was
there for three hours. One man tried
to pull my tooth and broke it, He said
he would have to get a heavier man.
Another and heavier man then tried it
and then they said they would have to
c1hlorofform me. I was there for about
home alone.'
Mrs. Rostad says he complained that
the tooth had not been entirely re-
moved. Then he went to his room,
where he died some time later. Mrs.
Rostad reiterates there was no evidence
of carbolic acid in Wells mouth nor
in the stomach contents which were re-
moved. She thinks the acid was used
by him to place on his tooth, and a
| large spot on the bed clothes showed
where he had spilled the contents of
the bottle. The body of Wells was
| buried today.

Waste in Higher Education.

In the colleges and universities of the
United States there is one professor or
Instructor for every ten students.
A generation ago, before the multi
plication Of courses and elective sub
jects, tho average was about one to
thirty. The increased ratio in the
teaching staff has been made necessary
by the elective system and by the uni
versal tendency to branch out and ex-
pand the facilities Of each institution.
If all institutions of higher educa-
ton had ample endowment, and were
able to- pay adequate salaries to the
teaching faculty, this condition would
be a sou1 ce of congratulation. Unfor-
tunately, this is not true. The income
of educational institutions has not
grown cemmensurately. Statistics show
that the average college professor gets
no better salary than in the days of
cheap living, while the number Of poor
" paid instructors doing full work has
multiplied. Tuition fees never pay run
ming expenses, and endowments have
not kept pace with the increased out
Icy. The inevitable tendency has been
la lowered financial standard for college

serious in the light Of real values. IL
the property has the merit to warrant
the quotation of 81, it will be back
there again, and if it has not, then
there was no justification for it in the
first place.
When the whole affair is over it will
be found that practically all the losses
heard of are speculative losses. Thru
it all the country has made no change.
Not one acre less of wheat, corn OF
cotton will be harvested next year, the
country will in nowise suffer, and legit-
innate business will enjoy that meas
ure Of prosperity that results from
legitimate conditions. This Lawson af-
fair is spectators fight purely, and

While travelling IN the northern part OF

their homes to SPECTATORS and banks for
what they could get for them and moving

dissatisfied with their present location for

They also believed that they have not

sWamps, or bottom lands, as they called
them, are regarded by people there as the
land of the future. -
If only a little surface water were car

also be the first step toward solving the

He Cites the Predictions Of an ultimate
Wheat Production Of 7oo,0Oo,ooo.
Bushels in Canada to Show that
American Farmers Will Fave In

Oliver Dalrymple, the North Dakota
bonanza farmer, who operates the ex-
tensive wheat farms around Casselton,
has placed himself on record in opposi-
ton to the attitude of Secretary Shaw as
md cate by by the recent decision Of the

pie believes the decision will be bad

states thru the process of manufae-
ture into flour, and is inclined to view

ton on wheat, Mr.. Dalrymple goes on
record as opposed to reciprocity in gem

The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1904-12-16

Mr.. Dalrymple, a North Dakota wheat
farmer, opposes any further concessions
to the millers on the ground that the
farmers are entitled to protection against
Canadian wheat to the extent Of 70 cents
bushel as the law provides. So far as
we know nobody proposes to deny them
that protection. The bringing in OF Cana
dian wheat under bond does not contem-
plate and will not permit the sale of a
bushel Of Canadian wheat or barrel of
-four made from Canadian wheat In the
United States. It must all go outside
again, where it would go anyway, whether
the wheat comes thru the United States
to be milled or not. What objection can
there be to allowing American capital and
American labor to turn the wheat into
flour if it does not come into competition
in the American market with American
grown wheat?
