Colleges Finances Ticklish Problem
for Augustana Delegates.
Special to The Journal.
Denver, Col, June IS.-The Au-
gustana synod found itself confronted
ton. today when the duties Of the
financial secretary of Augustana col
lege and theological seminary at Rock
| Island came up. The greater part Of
the day was consumed in a lively dis
cussion. The institution is controlled
by the synod and appears to be labor
ing under heavy debt arising from
the failure of some state conferences
to pay their appointments.
The Minnesota and Nebraska dele
cations contended that Illinois, which
has the greatest direct benefit from the
school, has been eonspicuously negli-
gent in giving it financial aid and In
sisted that the gathering funds for
paying the debt should be completed
within it's congregations before the
other conferences, especially those that
have schools Of their own, should be
appealed to. They expressed their will
ingness to welcome the financial agent
of the Rock Island institution if he
comes into their territory to raise funds
for an endowment.
A motion to that effect by Erland
Lind, the Minneapolis lawyer, finally
prevailed. The report from the synod &
publishing house in Rock Island, ILL.,,
showed a net profit during the year Of
/ $a,351. During the year 157,525 vol
umes had been printed. Rev. G. J.P
johnson, Ga1esburg, Ill, and Professor
/. M. Anderson, Rock Island, were
elected members Of the board of direct.
ogs for the publishing house.

The Democratic workers will be busy

this evening at o'clock.
There was much merriment in Demo-
cratic circles over some figures printed
in bold type on the front page of the
morning SmoOt organ yesterday. The 1u-
thor of the figures said that if the Re-
publicans had gotten 1900 more votes a
year ago they would have had $3.50 in
stead of 1870, which was very interesting.
1t also said. in effect, that if the Repub-

will have a chance to win. The confess
sion of weakness was as surprising as
it was amusing.
Joseph Monson. nominee for the house

Charges Against Hearst.

Wealthy men have been pilloried in
cartoons: they have been made subject
To calumny and abuse. These who have
not promptly responded TO the process of
the courts have been made the special
subjects OF contempt, and yet here we
find this pure apostle of reform on rec
ord in our courts as one who has evaded
the services of a process which was to
bring him before court of justice. to
have cases tried in the interest of citi-
Zens.
Eve have got to realize that it is not
simply a matter which we may pass. by
with disgust; that the organized effort 10
spread calumny, the determined effort 10
bring everybody who is opposed to a GER
tain object into public contempt. the use
of the epithets OF 'cockroach' and 'croton
bug and miserable sneak thief is not a
matter simply to excite deriSion and
soorn; it is the most dangerous thing we
have in American life. 1t is the worst
thing which we face today. because if it
is successful it makes it difficult. if not
impossible for those who are led astray
by such methods TO cultivate that Sobriety
OF thought which in the last analysis is
the only security of all our business, OF
all our property and even of government
itself.
