and said about the Wyoming Uni
versity trouble that the Sun hest
tates to add anything to the con-
%troversy. Still, inasmnch as the
writer was present and concerned
in the matter it is only proper
that he should speak.
In spite of all one can do adj
verse CRITICISM will have some
weight in the minds of every man;
hence the writer went to Laramie
prepared to find that there were at
least some good ground for the
charges made by Prof, Morton.
First let it be said that "Profes-
sor" Morton is a disappointment,
in that he is not a stald, dignified
man, such as one would expect of
a professor. He is barely 25 and
is extremely boyish in manner
and appearance. He is evidently
honest in his convictions, also
very much prejudiced, putting
forth things as facts which have
been told thim and which, when
the time came, he could not prove.
He has been made a tool of by
those who have stood in the back
ground and put words into his
mouth, because he was quick-wit-
ted and prompt in replies.
He al pretty thoroughly ex-
amined by State Examiner Hen
ders IN, with the view to finding
out if there had been any graft
ing, but Mr.. Henderson, who is as
shrewd as a weasel when it comes
to ferreting out little discrepancies
and by no means slow to bring
them to the light, no matter
whom it may concern, said that
he could not find that there had
been any misuse of funds or sta
ton property.
Morton's charge that DR.. Stew
n had imposed upon the agri-
cultural farm by letting two hei-
fers purchased there remain until
the following December was more
than offset by the fact that
the doctor had loaned the farm
a valuable team for more than
a year and had, thru the care
lessness of an employee, lost
one of the animals. Moreover
he had rendered most valua-
BILE aid extending over several
weeks in doctoring one of a span
of Percheron mares, thus the ami
NAL to the station and for which
he refused any pay, 1t would
seem to any candid man that the
agricultural station was indebted
to DR.. Stevens, when the accounts
came TO be balanced. In SO far as
the charges concerned Otto
Gramm. they fell fiat, for every
one knew that Mr.. Gramm would
be a much Weather man today if
he had simply demanded what
was due him from both the uni
versity and the agricultural col
lege
DIR. Hebard, the secretary of
the board of trustees and librarian
at the university, has only been in
the institution for seventeen years.
Vague charges of "bossism," of
running things" etc, have been
made against her. Well, it is
a good thing if the DIR. has a
chance to run many things in
connection with the affairs of the
University, for they are certainly
well managed. When any of the
faculty, or any student wishes to
find any data, or be informed of
any rule, law or record, they go to
DIR. Hebard, because she is per-
fectly familiar with every detail
Of university work and with its
history down to the present mo-
ment. She is simply indispensi
BILE to the institution that she con-
sents to honor with her services.
She is peculiarly fitted for the po-
sition she occupies and how it
could dispense with her services is
