PRES. DRoPPERs pf the state univer-
sity announced to the students and
faculty last week that his resignation
would be rendered ut the close of the
present year. There Is a report that his
resignation was demanded by the board
of regents but II lacks confirmation.
Memorials have been sent to the boardof
regents, one signed by every member Of
the faculty and another by nearly the
whole body of students,requesting that
Pres. Droppers be retained and speaking
of his work In the highest terms. What
ever may have been lacking In Pres.
Droppers' six years service at VerTil-
lion, there can be no question in re-
gard to the ability, brilliancy and
strength OF his administration. Com
ing to the position at the suggestion of
the then United States Senator Pet
tigrew, he has held The position by
|dint Of his own merit long after the
Pettigrew Influence was lost both with
the board and the state at large. We
are not In position to know whether
the university can be improved by a
change in its head at this time, but do
know that it will take an unusually
efficient and able educator to mark
much advancement over the work Of
Pres. Droppers.

Our representative, Adam Scott,
made his maiden speech In the house
last week Wednesday, Ia opposition to
the 81, 900, 900 state capitol bill. The
Pierre Ddkotan says, He was clearly
on the offensive but stated his views
with force. He stated that when he
visited Pierre last fall he was assured
BY Pierre people that the state house
was good enough for years to come and
thought they should be taken at their
word. "A million dollar capitol would
be a burden to the people and should
not be considered. He had little faith
that the capitol lands would produce
any considerable sum al this time. He
was q apractical stockman, was acquaint-
ed with the lands involved and be-
lieved that If the entire $1,000 acres
were placed upon the market today
they would not bring over Sl50, 900. "A
Imiilion dollar state house might not be
against the constitution but it Ger
tainly Is against the tax payers.

Official Paper Of Union County
Easy no TALK, BUT

The StGte Spirit usually is too radical
to harmonize with our state Of mind,
but the following from last weeks
issue comes as near meeting our views
as anything we have seen in its columns
for some time:
It Is an easy thing to insist that the
Legislative appropriations shall be kept
within the states revenue. Tt is for
instance quite an easy thing for an
editor like Mr.. Osbon OF The State Spirit
to demand oil the governor that he
shall veto every appropriation made In
excess of the revenues, and to insist
that the legislature shall peel every
thing down TO the basis Of0 revenues.
But 1t Is quite another matter TO those
charged with administration. Argus
Leader.
''The Aygas- Leader does not quite
catch The attitude OF The Spirit It is
not opposed TO many, If any OF these
special appropriations on their merits.
II is in hearty sympathy with the pur-
pose OF most OF them. They are
urgently necessary to the progress and
we'll being OF the state. Yet The Spirit
adheres to It's declaration that it
would, IL it had the power, veto every
one OF them land assume all OF the re-
sponsibility of the act Ii would do it,
not 10 block progress, but as q means,
and apparently the only means, of
forcing revenue measure from the
legislalure The ArgHs- Leader ought
to know this. II has been hammering
away on revenue bill for at least six
years and IL apparently no nearer the
goal than it was six years ago.
I'VE Dakotans boast that we are
earning more per capita than any other
people. If that Is true, and it is, we
are able to maintain our institutions
and develop our state. We do so,
and do it handsomely In our municipal
and school affairs. We tax ourselves
to the limit land pay 1t without grumb-
ling. But our state tax Is appliance. We
are living In open violation OF the
fundamental law of the state, and no
legislature has enough courage to inn
pose the tax necessary to support our
state government decently.
Nothing but crisis win force an
adequate revenue bill and The Spirit
would be proud OF the power and OPP
portunity TO precipitate that crisis.
Gov. Elrod could force a revenue
measure in twenty daysand future
generations OF Dakotans would call
him blessed for doing il. The State
Spirit.

THE appeal which the Insurance CON-
panies had taken from the decision Of
the federal court sustaining the South
Dakota anti.compact law has been dis
missed with costs by the United States
supreme court. This should not be
regarded as victory for the anti.com-
pact law. Iowa has similar law on
appeal before the United States
supreme court in which the decision of
the state federal court was in favor OF
the insurance companies The com
panies prefer 10 take this case to trial
before the national supreme court,
knowing that If they win it will knock
out both the Iowa and the South Da-
kota law. That is about all there Is to
the recent alleged surrender of she
insurance companies In their fight
against the very proper South Dakota

GEN. N. G. NASH, senior editor Of
the Canton Nescs, passed away quietly
early yesterday morning. For over
thirty years he has had the manage
ment Of the Meas, which he has made
a power In the city of Canton and
Throughout the state. Sturdy and un-
compromising in his positions, they
were always taken conscientiously and
held to religlously He could be in
fiuenced by reasonable argument, but
If convinced that a principle was in
volved no considerations of expediency
or personal advantage could swerve
him. Such men always make enemies,
but none could question the kindliness
or the integrity OF his character. His
services and worth have been recognized
by his home city and the state, while
the newspaper fraternity looks upon
his death as an individual, personal
loss. The family, unusually and sorely
afflicted as they are at this time, haYe
the deep and sincere sympathy Of a
wide and loyal circle OF friends, who
share with them Ia some degree their
sense OF bereavement and loss.

THE Sioux Falls Press claims to have

for state capital? This is too silly sor
any use. The Press IN Its ;sindepen-

and even venality, but this Is the first
occasion that has come 10 our notice Of
Its being charged with downright
