BOARD OF REGENTS.

A bill TO create single board OF
regents for the three State Education
al Institutions is now pending before
the legislature at Des Moines. AT
the session year ago "a commission
appointed at . previous session TO in
vestigate the question reported unan-
imously in favor of single board,
but the bill to establish such board
failed to receive the serious consider
alton its Importance demanded be-
cause of the factional feuds that eX-
listed.
The proposition seems very plans
ible and practical on the face of it,
and if each separate school could re-
ceceive its proper share OF the state
funds, unrestricted opportunities for
development along its particular lines
there would be no strong objection
against it, But trouble would arise
at once. Because OF the large num-
Der of alumni throughout the state,
the friends of the State University
would dominate the board, and the re-
suit would be that thef university
would take what IL wanted and the
other two would get what was left.
The first attempt at economy, as its
supporters call 1t, would be TO cut out
the mechanical and engineering de.
partment of the State College at Ames
which is one of the most complete in
the west and transfer it TO Iowa City.
Such action would require at least
one third OF the students at Ames TO
follow the department or go out of
the state to secure the instruction
they want. The next move would be
TO cut out the two higher classes Of
the State Normal School and require
those students TO go To Iowa City TO
complete the. course or leave the
state for that purpose, and we have
no doubt that as between the two
many would choose the latter as the
least OF two evils. Ames and Cedar
Falls are among the-iinest little cities
in the state having had no saloons
for many years. And there are
many of the most thoughtful people
| who will not send their children to
the State University because of its
| location in the saloon ridden town OF
! Iowa City. If the friends of the
Iowa State College at Ames
and the State Normal School OF Ced-
ar Falls want to see them continue to
flourish and DO among the best of
that kind in the country, they would
better get busy and kill off the bill
for a single board of regents.

A MODERN CONSTITUTION.

The politicians who think the good
old constitution of the United States
is out OF date and should he made
over and modernized can take lessons
from their fellows down in Oklahoma
where they have been making an effort
to construct one that is up-to-date.
Some of toe modern improvements
included by the constitutional conven-
ton are; a constitutional provision
making two cents II mile the maximum
passenger fare on railroads.; disquali.
flying judges who use franks or ride on
passes; requiring public officials To
take an oath that they will not accept
or use passes; giving the person yio-

by jury; forbidding one corporation to
own stock in another; barring persons
who have INDUCED in Immunity bath

not least the initiative and releren-

SECRETARY SHAW
Steps Out of the Cabinet and Becomee
President of the Carnegie Trust
Comnanv

On the fourth day of March Hon.
Leslie Nj. Shaw, former governor of
Iowa, closed five year term as Sec
rotary of the Treasury OF President
Roosevelts Cabinet. When he was
appointed his enemies predicted fail
ure and prayed that their predictions
might be fulfilled; his friends prophe-
sled success and sincerely hoped he
might achieve 1t in full measure. That
he has made great secretary and
filed the position with eminent success
in the cabinet of our great president
needs no argument. The simple state
ment that il came TO him unsought and
that he received the appointment and
continued To hold the place for so
many years at the request of President
Roosevelt is sufficient and conclusive
evidence. What Secretary Shaw would
do when he left the cabinet has been
under discussion by the newspapers
since the date of his retirement has
been determined. Many places ofprotit
and trust were offered him in the great
money centers Of the east but he did
not accept any of them until week
ago when he was offered the presi-
dency of the Carnegie Trust Company
OF New York City, at salary which
is said to be SO, 100000 year. When
asked what effect his occupation of
this position would have upon his po-
litical future he spoke of the success
and failure of presidential candidates
and then said:
General Grant expressed the cor
rect attitude of an ideal American cit
izen when he said he had never sought
a place of honor or preferment, and
had never declined. Honors that have
come to mehave been unsought. When
the alternative of seeking the nomina-
ton for governor of my state or run
ming away from the sentiment was pre-
scented, | simply took the affirmative
of the issue. Whatever Shaw presi-
Dental sentiment now exists has sprung
up spontaneously, and unless it con

" For over forty years my home has
been at Denison, Iowa. While COVER
nor of the state my domicile was at
Des Moines, and while holding my
present position and domicile at Wash
ington, have always registered from
Denison, Iowa. For time my future
place Of business will be in New York
City, my domicile will probably be in
some convenient suburb, but my home
will be in Denison, Iowa; there will !

object, it will not annoy or lead To
political estrangement. During all the
years of my manhood | have taken a
more or less active part in political
campaigns, and my interest in them
will not flag, though the opportunity
to participate in them TO as great an
extent may be wanting and ii will be
