HIGHER EDUCATION in STATE

HIGHER EDUCATION in STATE.
Commencement time in the Mon
tana colleges and universities is at
hand and it serve to call attention to
the class Of higher educational insti-
buttons possessed by the state. These
institutions are undoubtedly deserv-
ing OF far greater support than they
have been receiving. Many. Of the
young men and young women, who
nov go east or to the Pacific coast to
attend college, could probably at
tend any one Of the Montana higher
educational institutions.
Montana has several good colleges.
There is the state university at Mis-
soula, where an excellent collegiate
course is given; the state school Of
mines at Butte. the equal OF any in
the west; the agricultural college at
Bozeman, whose excellent work in
behalf of the farmers of Montana is
so well known in the agricultural
regions; the College of Montana at
Deer Lodge, with an academic course;
the Wesleyan university, a Methodist
college at Helena; and the State
Normal school at Dillon, an institu-
ton that is turning out excellent
teachers.
With the exception of mining and
electrical engineering and pedagogy
the Montana colleges as yet do not
teach professions, but the student
who wants an academic course and a
college course can secure just as
good instruction in Montana as else
where. Before sending the children
away to school next fall, parents
would do we'll to study the advant-
ages offered by the Montana higher
educational institutions. If these
colleges are to develop into better in
situations they must have the patron
age of Montanans.

STATEMENT MADE
BY j. T. PATTIS0N.
Declares That at Former Removal He
Was Charged With Shortage
Which Was for an Amount
He Never Received.
| The State.

Edgefield, Dec. 21.-J. T. Pattison,
ltreasurer Of Edgefield county, who
was suspended by Gov. Ansel as re-
suit Of a report charging shortages
in his accounts, today gave out the
Following statement:
"Havifg read in yesterdays issue
the tremendous statement made to
Gov. M. F. Ansel by Comptroller Gen.
eral A. W. Jones as reported to him
by E. B. Wilson, his expert account
ant, it is but justice to myself that
the public know something Of the
truth or falsity Of that statement. On
the 9Th of January, 1905, I took
Pharge Of the treasurer's Office here
Ind in May of the same year, in max
ing up report Of receipts and dis
bursements, it was ascertained that l
vas short in cash something more
han $4,000. I went to work to find
the cause of this discrepancy and
within about three months after l
ook charge it was found that 1 was
yharged with an amount that should
have received but did not receive and
The balance was traced to the Far
mers' Bank Of Edgefield, where l
stand ready to prove it is. This short
.ge Auditor J. B. Haltiwanger made
Known to the foreman Of the grand
ury, A. F. Padgett, who was at that
ime and is now president Of the
Narmers' bank. Afterwards the In
estigating committee for the grand
1ry, the foreman being chairman,
orroborated the statement already
: hade. Subsequently both the auditor
I'D myself notified Comptroller Gen.
tral A. W. Jones and he and his ex-
erts worked the matter to their sat-
faction and for this I was removed.
however, was reinstated after put
ing up this money, which l am no"
ue the Bank Of Edgefield, as the
eeords in the clerks Office will show.
he county and State lost nothing in
his transaction.
HAs to the investigation recently
lade by Eugene B. Wilson from the
comptroller generals office, I stand
eady to show and to prove by books
md vouchers checked by him that
he statement made by him is not only
heorrect but false, and this state
pent Comptroller General A. W.
ones makes to CIV. NJ. F. Ansei
Without making any effort to ascer-
ain the truth Of it. If men Of honor
nd selfrespeet are to be subjected to
ueh humiliation and such indecen-
es as are contained in the report Of
W. Jones to the governor as is pub
she'd in the State of yesterday, then
does seem that the time has really
me when all decent and respecta-
E men will surely seek other en-
pyment than that Of public office.
