eight commissioners from Sweden and Nor

the dissolution of the union which for ninety

CAMPAIGN IN NEBRASKA

.
The campaign in Nebraska has opened quietly
and promises to run it's course without excite
ment Considerable interest has been aroused
by the address Of Chancellor Andrews Of the
state university, whose implied defense of the
Rockefeller donation, seemed to come as a reply
to the demand by the reform forces that the
donation be rejected. 1t is probable however
that the chancellor had no such purpose in mind
Nevertheless his address has served to concen
trate public attention the moral aspect of &C
cepting a private donation for state university
and particularly donation which may carry with
it an obligation to uphold the business methods
of the donor. 1t is the contention of the reform
forces that such an obligation has been forced
upon the chancellor and that he is only fulfilling
an implied pact when he publicly utters de-
Tense of "frenzied finance" In this way more
than ordinary interest has been aroused in the
the trend of sentiment is turning rapidly in favor
of the candidates nominated by the reform con-
yentions:
The acceptance by the regents of the uni
versity OF Nebraska of the Rockefeller gift of
$4,000 year or two ago was the first and
only instance, SO far as we know of the ac-
ceptance of such money by state university,
whose needs are provided for by the state
government. The act was denounced by the
Nebraska democratic state convention last
week, not without right for in the coming
election one or more university regents are
to be chosen by the people, A political party
is FULL justified in such case in expressing
an opinion or criticism, if it wishes to, of
the educational policy of those responsible
for the administration of purely state insti-
tuition. The criticism of the Nebraska regets
is eminently sound and not simply because
the money in question came from John d.
Rockefeller A state university occupies a
position in the matter of financial endowment
that renders it peculiarly free from the neces-
sity OF soliciting the money of private indi-
viduals. lit is a position that never should
be compromised, even in cases where state
legislatures fail to pass large appropriations
for university purposes. This general princi-
pie of state education clearly ignored by
the Nebraska regents, and it is necessary to
add that Chancellor e. Benjamin Andrews
failed as completely as the regents did in
keeping the university on foundation exclu-
sively public in it's character.-Springfield

The fusion nominees for university re-
gents may not be elected but it is safe to say
that the hush money of ]. Rockefeller to the
university of Nebraska will continue to pay
dividends on the investment through the
speeches and lectures of Chancellor Andrews
as Ions as the present republican board is in
control. In his address to the students of the
university at the opening of school Chancellor
Andrews declared that the most dangerous
sign of our times is the rage against pro-
motors and. the popular hostility against
all the wealthy, he declared is Gin
contemptuously as "the mob and declared
that it would be less dangerous if it did
not have the support of all classes. The Oma-
ha WOrld-Herald has said some foolish things
but it never undertook a grander work than
trying to keep the university of the state, so
richly endowed with the lands of the people
of the plains, out of the hands of Standard
Oil and it's puppets on the board of regents
and the faculty. When the World-H Herald be-
gan the fight it did not have the support of
public sentiment but a few more such utter
ances from chancellor of great university
before the growing manhood of the west
ought to be enough to cause the people to rise
in their might and push the whole Standard
Oil, railroad and other corporate influence,
which has ridden and will continue to ride
the neck of the republican party, back across

Permission was also granted to the
chancellor to accept membership upon the
educational board of New York, an organiza-
ton designed to promote the interests of
higher education generally in the United
States. That is the way Lincoln news
paper reports one feature of recent meet
ing of the board of regents of the state uni
versity. Sounds harmless, and quite proper,
doesn't it? The public might be interested
in knowing, however that what the regents
really did was to authorize Chancellor An
drews to serve as member of board Great
ed and named by John D.. Rockefeller to use
the income of $10000,000 of his money in
substituting colleges and universities in favor
of the Standard Oil monopoly and it's meth
DDS. Who would have suspected it, though,
from the wording of the report? The report,
you see, was prepared, not by q reporter for
the newspaper present at the meeting, but
by the regents and their secretary 1t was
prepared to suit the purposes of the regents,
and to give the taxpayers, who support and
own the university, just as much information
concerning it as they are capable of enjoy
ing" as our imperialist friends would say.

THE NEW TRUANCY LAW.

One of the most important chang
es made in the school law by the last
legislature relates to compulsory ed
ucation. Under he new law all chill
dren in the district between the ages
of eight and fifteen must attend
school for the full term, and not for
only three months as heretofore, but
for the "full''term for which a school
is held in the district. A truant Off
Ger, called an attendance" officer,
Is provided for, who is authorized to
take into custody any child between
the ages of eight and fifteen years
who may be truant from school and
the child before the proper
for an investigation. This
officer also has police power. the au-
thority to make arrests and serve all
legal process contemplated by the
act. Justices of the peace have con-
current jurisdiction with the super
ior court in all cases arising under
the provisions Of this act, which a..
seems is carefully and wisely drawn.

Worthy Couple Happily Welded.

A most pleasant occasion was the
wedding of Miss Lillian M. Welles
and William H. Keal at the home of
the brides parents. Mr.. and Mrs.
J. Baldwin Of Mob Hill on tuesday,
April 18th, at high noon, Rev. H. p.
James officiating. The contracting
parties were attended by Roy Bald
win and Miss May Baldwin, brother
and sister of the bride. The house
was tastefully decorated for the
event and an elaborate wedding
lunch was served. The bride was
beautifully gowned in white lace
while the groom was dressed in the
conventional black. The families of
the bride and groom were neighbors
in Illinois. and many of the guests
were former residents of that state.
The groom came to North Yakima
last fall, and here he and his wife
will make their home. in a house on
the Baldwin ranch entirely furnished
by the brides parents, their wedding
gift. Many other tokens of esteem
were presented. and the young cou-
pie begin life together with the best
wishes Of host of friends in which

under contemplation by the federal

to store the surplus water of the
