The Rooney case is again on the
boards and Representative Spauld-
ing Of this state appeared in the
Supreme Court a few days ago to
argue it pefore that tribunal.
Rooney is now in the penitentiary
under sentence of death for a MUIR
der committed in Cass county two
years ago. This murder was COM
mitted before the passage of the
law changing the manner of exc
cutting capital sentences and chang
ing the place from the county in
which the crime was committed to
the Bismarck p%enitentiary. Roo
ney's attorneys, Newman, Spauld-
ing & Stambaugh, brought a case
in the supreme court Of the state,
whose aim was to relieve Rooney
Of the penalty of his crime, it be-
ing claimed that the law was an ex
post facto statute. What merit may
be in this contention will probably
be determined when the Supreme
court of the United States passes
upon the question now being ar
gued. That there has been some
merit in it for Rooney, is apparent
from the fact that it is more than
two years since the crime was com.
mitted, and more than a year from
the time when he was to have been
executed, he is still alive, in good
health and probably as happy as a
man could be who is in the state
penitenuiary under the sentence of
death. Bismarck Tribune.

1t is to be hoped that the legis-
lature will pass a law authorizing
the newspapers Of the state to print
the laws. This will place a copy
of the newly enacted laws in the
hands of the citizens of the state
and they will become familiar with
the provisions of the same. Such
an act as the above is needed, not
that the compensation paid the
newspapers will load them down
with riches, but as the right of TIE
people to know the laws.

In the write-up of the inaugural
ball, the Tribune had only one
fault to find with the hall, and that
was that the floor was laid the
wrong way for dancing purposes.
The attention Of the Legislature has
been called to this defect and they
will probably remedy the matter.

suggestions will be given publicity

Mr.. Hewlett, speaking yesterday of
present plans, said;
Il should like to call attention TO the
good that the coming of factories will
mean in mercantile and professional
lines in the city. For one thing the
trades and professions are crowded
now, but with the advent of factories
an opportunity would be afforded 10
divert capital where it would do moro
good for the investor and for the city.
The idea is To effect permanent or
ganiZation and maintain a competent

Addresses. Students on Educational
Ideals Here and Abroad.


President David Starr Jordan Of Le-
land Stanford JT. university addressed
the students Of the state university yes
terday. The meeting was in charge OF
Carl HOPKINS, president of the senior
class. which secured the lecture.
President Jordan compared the ideas or
the universities in America with those of
England and Germany. He said:
"Ile aim Of the English universities Is
well EXPRESSED in the old motto, Man
ners maketh man That is the English
considered a man educated when he could
preside properly at a luncheon or tea, or.
IN fact do nothing and get pay for It,
The German ideal is thorOushness. some
times 70 the utter disregard of manners
The ultimate end worked for is to so drill
man that he can secure a government
position. on the other hard. the ideal of
education from the American university
standpoint IS that of personal effective
ness. The American university graduate
is not all manners nor all routine, but
man who is able to do what he wants TO
do and So do IL that his work demands
pay The American university gives Vari-
ety and grea ter range 10 the individual"
President Jordan. continuing. explained
that the universities of this country are
behind those of Germany and England
IN equipment and attendance, but that
the American university is growing, while
those or the foreign countries are at a
stardStl This is due, saws President
Jordan 20 the alma mater love existing
here and which is absent i'm foreign uni
versiues. The German university man
regards his university with about as much
love as an American boy does the post
office system-merelv a public institution,
not a guardian mother
In conclusion, President Jordan eX-
that one likes" and that for this reason
the American university graduate has
more chance at real happiness for he IS
fitted TO do that which he wants to do.
