1t obou!d be a cause of gratitica
ton 10 every citizen Of Missouri
that the State University. ii CT

lug institution of lis kline! IN 'le
federal union. The enru.Inent
during the l'us1 session, eNt,dslyo
Of 246 entered IN | University exten
sion courses. was 2229:2.. Early
last fall the Boston Transcript gave
the University of Missouri second
place in rapidity Of growth, and
;his, was before the Short Course
in Agriculture in Columbia. the
enrolment III which easily i:nught
the State University 10 first place.
The right of the University 20 this
claim was confirmed in November
bv Professor TomDo, Registrar Of
Columbia University in the City
of New York. After the Cnlyer-
sity of Missouri ether American
universities ranked as follows: Ind,
luna, Iowa, Dartmouth, Kansas,
Illinois. Chicago, Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Tufts College, Virginia,
Georgia, Boston, Wisconsin, Cor
nell, Nebraska, Michigan, Yale,
Columbia, Harvard, and Mime
sofa. There is hardly any doubt
that next year will see 1900 or
more students enrolled III the dif-
fercnt Departments Of the Univer
sity Of Missouri.
While the income Of a number
of universities is greater in the
| aggregate than that Of the State
University the income per student
at Missouri is only exceeded by
that Of two similar Institutions,
the Universities OF Wisconsin and
Illinois. In the present biennial
period the University of Missouri
will be able, through the generosl-
tv of the state and federal govern
ments, to spend annually in the
higher edu cation Of the young
men and young women OF Missouri
the sum of $3.50, 900, the equlva
lent of the interest at j. per cent
on an endowment fund Of 81 900,
900.
The time has passed when any
Missouri boy Or girl need tnrl
from their native state for educ;i
tionuI advantages. The develop
! ment Of the system Of pub!is
schools, extending from the kinder
garden ut the bottom through tht
grade school and the high schoo
to the university has taken plac'
in Missouri as in few other Amerl
can commonwealths and ha

Mr. B7yan's Reyefeel of Himself. {.

Within less than year after
M. Bryan, on his return irom
Europe declared for government
ownership OF railroads, he Issues
Il declaration that government
ownership is not an immediate is
sue and that there is no desire to
make it an Issue ia 1908.
Before Mr.. Bryan returned from
Europe the Post dispatch warned
the Democrats against the folly IF
binding themselves to Mr.. Bryan :
candidacy two years in advance Of
the presidential campaign. 1t de-
c'ared that this stupid act might
cnt them otl from an opportunity
to make successful campaign on
tissues which might come to the
fore as paramount within tie next
two years. When Mr.. Bryan an
nounccd his revolutionary program
III favor OF government ownership,
the Post dispatch denounced it ITS
ii scheme of State Socialism in al-
vance Of anything that any leader
of IL great party 10 this country
has attempted to foist upon his
party, and warned him that Meth
Ell the country nor the Democratic
party would accept it.
The campaign which has been
waged since demonstrated the fol-
ly of MIR. Bryan and his party
followers. SO clearly has it been
proven, that Mr.. Bryan himself
sees it and is trying to recover
lost ground by repudiating his
own issue. In Il statement concern
ing the issues Of the next campaign.
Mr.. Bryan says:
"Government ownership is not
an immediate issue. A large ma+
jority Of the people still hope for
effective regulation. While they
so hope they will not consider gov
eminent ownership. While many
Democrats believe, and MIR. Bryan
is one of them, that public owner
ship of railroads is the ultimate
solution of the problem, still those
who believe that the public will
finally, in self lf-defense, be driven
to ownership recognize that reg'l's-
tion must be tried under the mos.
favorable circumstances before
the masses will be ready to Try q
more radical remedy.
''Regulation cannot be sufficient
Iy tried within the next year.
There is no desire anywhere to
make government ownership an
issue in 1905"
This is not the first time that
Mr.. Bryan has trimmed his sails
to meet the breeze of public opin,
ion. In 1896, tariff reform was
thrust in the back ground to avoid
offending the Silver Republicans,
who offered him support on bis
free silver plank. In 1900 free
silver was thrust in the background
in favor of anti-imperialism t.
please the Gold Democrats, who
had abandoned the Democratic
party on the silver Issue. Now
Mr.. Bryan is urging the initiative
and referendum as bait for ultra
radical voters; and what vagarl
he will take up before the natlona
Democratic convention meets i:
beyond the ken of mortal man.
| We hear much of the broaden
ing and ripening of Mr.. Bryan
since his last campaign. But h.
himself has not presented any
evidence of Il lessenieg tendenc,
to take ul politi cal vagaries, o
that his leadership is any safe,
than it was when he first split the
Democratic party.-Post- Dispatch

time hopes to interest the Congress
sional pursestring holders sufficiently to
insure the passage Of the bills. in which
he is interested.
1--WE are trying very hard to replace
the Orie. lal laborers in Hawaii with
a more desirable class of aliens from
Europe. We have succeeded in get
ting a number Of Portuguese and Span
iards who are proving themselves ex-
celient citizens and valuable laborers.
If we could get more Americans in the
island, It would be a great help toward
the end desired. for II they could hire
them. tlIe planters would prefer Amer
lean labor; and the Orientals, not find
ing work, would leave OF their own ac-
cord. A large number of Japanese
women have been imported within late
years, but the men, of courEa, predomi-
nate, We need more money from Con-
gress to carry on the business OF the
government out there to advantage. but
up to the present we have no real
cause of complaint on the ground OF

talists and coal operators. They re-
fused to- heed The warning and give
labor a place on their ticket that year
Nichols was mentioned for State SEN
ator on the Republican ticket, but the
bosses Indignantly frowne6 down the
suggestion.
The Democrats, who had for years
been trying to elect their county ticket
in Lackawanna with Indifferent sue
cess, quickly picked on the agitation
for LABOR representatives as the chance
to improve their standing and draw the
labor vote. Labor leaders were told by
the Democrats to GO ahead and select
their men for the Legislature, and they
did. Then the regular county ticket
was decided upon, with the exception OF
a candidate for Congress. The big men
OF the Democrats baked at this.
Pitched on Nichols.
Finally some one thought Of Nichols,
the mine workers district president.
Yes. he would make a fine candidate,
but we don't know ais politics, and you
know that he was mentioned by the Re-
publicaps for senator" said another. =
third spoke up that he heard Nichols
had voted for Bryan in 1886. That set
tied It. Nichols was decided upon as
the candidate.
John Mitchell and Samuel Gompers
came to Scranton and spoke in favor Of
Nichols. A crowd Of 5000 and more
turned out to hear them. No hall was
big enough for the occasion, and the
meeting was held on courthouse square.
The election was stampede to Mich

elected by a majority Of some 1,SOO votes.
Nichols reversed this and carried the
district by over 5000. while the whole

three men likely TO succeed him. Mich

and instead is said TO be throwing his
