UNIVERSITY AFFAIRS IN a TANGI.E


VERMuION. s. D., Dec. ll.-(Special)-
Just what the next step OF the Board OF
Regents will be in regard TO the presidency
OF the state university is an open question.
Their last Official act in appointing Prof. l..
F. Akeley as president to succeed James
Chalmers is one that causes considerable
surprise in this city and will no doubt be
discussed throughout the state. Not that
Prof Akeley is not big enough to handle
the Office as there is no doubt OF his quail
fications but it Is generally understood that
he did not aspire at any time TO succeed
President DroppesE and 1t is the general
belief that he will NOT consider the appoint
ment When seen at his home yesterday
Prof Akeley expressed an unwillingness to
discuss the appointment. He has as yet re-
eeived no official notification Of his appoint
ment and did not care to say anything in
advance.
The refusal OF Hon. James Chalmers to
accept the presidency Of the state university
does not come a surprise to anyone.
Several prominent men OF this city and a
number outside have all along contended
that Mr.. Chalmers would not come TO YER
million. II has been limited that the regents
never intended that lie should. This is only
gossip. however, and there is no substantial
proof at hand to show that the board did
not act in good faith. Mr.. Chalmers early
in the summer rented a fine home here and
has been paying rent on It. He expected to
come here about December and had been
given a lease on the residence for two
years. The supposition is that the president
of the State Agricultural college had all
along figured on coming to this city.
Should Prof Akeley refuse to serve as
! temporary president the regents will have
! to move again Tho common understanding
| has been that President Dropper's time
would expire January /. Whether he steps
! down and out at that time remains to be
| seen. A logical conclusion would be that
| the regents. in case Prof. Akeley turned
them down, would decide to retain the pres
| ent incumbent to the close of the school
| year

SENATOR FRIES OUT OF WAY
Valley Statesman withdraw from
Governor Race and Leaves Home
Delegation for John Wall.

From reliable sources it is learned that
Senator Fries OF Valley county has an
nounced he would not be a candidate for
governor this year. For some months
Senator Fries had been counted as one Of
the candidates for the republican nomina-
ton, and he had received promises of sup
port from a number OF prominent people
in various parts of the state. His with
drawal at this time clarifies the political at
mosphere insofar as Valley county is con-
cerned, for it will mean John Wall will
have no fight for his home delegation, as
both Fries and Wall reside in the county.
An effort was made some time ago to get
Treasurere Mortensen to come out as a can
didate. but the effort proved futile and this
leaves only Wall as q candidate from Valley
county.

ROME. Dec 1.-THE pope today held a
secret consistory. which was the second Of
his pontificate in which he created new
cardinals and apparently showed a ten
dency to have a better equilibrium between
the foreign and Italian elements in the
sacred college. as three Of the four new
cardinals are foreigners. The ceremony
was performed with the usual pomp Nearly
thirty cardinals were present. The pontin
appeared walking, preceded. surrounded
and followed by the gorgeous pontiical
court. Then all withdrew except the men,
bers of the sacred college and the pope
read his sllocution. In il he said he wished
no could give the cardinals pleasant and
consollng news, but the conditions at the
present time do not permit of consolation.
Although, he continued. the Catholic faith
Is spreading more and more throughout the
world, especially in dissdent countries, on
turning toward Catholic nations. one feels
! sadness and fear lest the prediction of the
scriptures is being verified, that the king
dom of the Lord will be removed to other
people. where it will produce good fruit.

Office more gravely and more fully at an
opportune time.
! He eXhorted the cardinals to prayer re-
calling that the Lord will cause tranquility
and peace to shine forth at the proper
| time.
He ended with saying he intends to honor
| the whole Latin-A American race by creating
for the first time cardinal belonging TO
that part of the world.
Cardinals Are Named.
| Immediately after reading his allocution
he named the following cardinals!
| The Most Rev Joseph Sammusa, arch

Monsignor Cagaino de Azevedo. major
domo OF the Vatican.
The cardinals asserted that contrary to
the popular impression, the pope did not
create a fifth cardinal but reserved the
appointment in pectore.
Later the pope appointed a number OF
bishops, including this following:
Rev. c. BARN, bishop of Nureva Caceres,
Philippine islands; Rev. 7. MeeLschaert
formerly bishop of Dallas, Tex tltular
bishop OF Cassarea, and Rev. A. Schnner,

THE LITTLE GIRLS GARDEN.

She was a little girl only twelve
years old and small for her age at
that, but she was full of enterprise and
snap, and, firing of dolls and the like,
she persuaded her father to let her
have just two square rods of his gar
den to run garden of her own We
had the pleasure Of seeing this garden
in early July. There was not single
weed to be found in it. and there was
fine assortment of vegetables of the
most thrifty sort, peas, beans, pota-
toes, tomatoes, cucumbers, radish
lettuce, cabbage all nicely cared for,
and our little friend was just as proud
of her success as would be the owner
of fine half section farm. And this
work for the little maid was in every
way beneficial and helpful to her. She
has become greatly interested in ma
ture study and intends to enlarge her
work next year to include flowers and
poultry. She might have practiced on
a piano or done some sort Of fancy
needlework when she was working in
her garden, but we doubt if she would
have done as we'll
