Question of Beneficiary.


cial instruction.
Question of Beneficiary.
The first question which presents it
self in this connection is whether the agri-
cultural and mechanical colleges in the
several states are the institutions best fit
ted to offer commercial courses. Where
they are not connected with the state uni
versities they are usually situated in
small towns or at a distance from any
town. whereas there is an obvious advan-
tage in teaching commercial methods in
Il city where commerce is carried on. E,s-
pecially in the case. of Indiana. Iowa
Kansas. Michigan, South Dakota Texas
and Utah. where the state universities
have already established commercial
courses, il would seem that they could
make more effective use of the proposed
appropriations than the separate agricul-
tural and mechanical colleges III the same
states. And with special reference to the
Pacific coast ii would seem that the
University of Washington at Seattle is
better situated for commercial instruction
than the State College of Washington at
Pullman. 1t might be left to the legisla-
lures of the several states to determine
what institution III the state should re-
ceive the proposed appropriation; but this
would entail some delay. inasmuch as the
legislatures Of most of the states will not
measure / would suggest that the bill pro-
vide that the sum appropriated go To the
state university wherever there is such

sence of a state university to the col

A few days ago DIR. Andrew d. White,
formerly president of Cornell University
and later ambassador TO Germany. pro-
posed to President Roosevelt a plan for
the establishment of a department Of
foreign commerce in each of the agricu!-
tural colleges and experiment stations in
the different states and territories which
were founded by gifts of public land
under what is known as the Morrill, aci
of Congress of 1862. with supplementary
legislation. That act provided for ad-
vanced instruction in agriculture and mill
itary science. II provided for the educa
ton of the farmer and for experimental
research into agricultural problems. which
has been remarkably successful and in a
large measure accounts for the eXtraordi-
nary prosperity of the agricultural inter
est of this country. Last year Congress
appropriated S1200o0 for that purpose.
and in his annual report Secretary Wilson
described with enthusiastic language
what was being accomplished with the
money.
THE young farmer is studying the sci
ence of agriculture said Secretary Will
son in reply to my questions. ''and the old
farmer Is being reached and interested.
Faculties are being enlarged and strength
ened in these colleges and experiment sta
tions. The states are adding materially
TO the federal endowment. with the ap-
proval and at the request of all classes
of citizens. The farm newspapers of the
country occupying higher positions as
educators. their staffs are being rein
forced from the agricultural colleges. The
publications of the experiment stations
dealing with the practical problems that
affect their respective localities are read
and are in demand. Vigorous efforts are
being made to prepare young farmers for
their life work

Representative McKinley's Bill.

Ii is an interesting coincidence that
Representative Mckinley Of Illinois
should have introduced bill with the

making an annual appropriation of a
similar amount for each of the land grant

conducting original researches bearing
directly upon the manufacturing. mining
and engineering industries of the United

Admiral Sperry, saying farewell to the

as follows:
1 want to voice my sincere appreciation
of the magnificent hospitality that has
been extended to us in Sydney.
Apart from the promotion of more in
innate relations between the two great
bodies of English speaking peoples, the
educational Importance OF the visit can
not be overlooked. We have been greatly
enlightened regarding the wonderful
progress and development being made by
the island continent and we must read
rust our former ideas of this prosperous
young country which is destined to play
a great role in the commercial and in
dustrial development OF the Pacific.
Americans hope that the time is not
distant when the United States and Aus

BRYAN VISITS HIS BIRTHPLAoE
Salem, III. People Turn out in Num-
bers to Meet Him.

SALEM, ILL.,, Aug. 26.-No crowd OF equal
size or enthusiasm ever turned out in this
city. the birthplace of William Jennings
Bryan, as did that OF today, when the
democratic candidate stopped over to greet
his old friends and ~neighbors. The whole
population was up and on hand early to
extend a hearty welcome when Mr.. Bryan
reached here at $3.50 o'clock in the morning
They were augmented later In the day by
thousands who came in on special trains,
The principal event of the day was a
speech by Mr.. Bryan from a platform In
the court house grounds in which he APP
pealed to the Roosevelt republicans" to
support the democratic ticket, because, he
said, they could not hope for a realization
OF the promised reforms of their party
Mr.. Taft, he said, was not the heir 70
republican reforms.
During the day Mr.. Bryan divided most
of his time with the Bryan and ennings
branches Of his family. After luncheon
he rode out to the country and placed
flowers on the graves OF his parents, and
on his way back to the city Inspected the
new BryRn-Bennett library, presented by
himself and the late Philos Bennett OF
Connecticut. The building cost $500, OF
which Mr.. Bryan contributed 5000. He
also donated the site. which is the spot on
which the house in which he was born was
located.
Several thousand of the citizens of
salem and visitors shook the candidates
hand. He held receptions at the court
house. hotel and railroad station, where
the people fought their way to get near
him..
While Mr.. Bryan wa stalking the crowd
made up a purse of $500 and handed 1t TO
him as a campaign contribution. A check
for 500 also was given by a man from
Clinton county.
Preceding Mr.. BryAn's remarks, Theo-
dore A. Bell OF California. chairman OF
the Kern notification committee. who ac-
companied Mr.. Bryan here. made a speech,
in which he compared the platforms OF
the two dominant parties.
] Mr., Bryan left at $3.50 D. IN for Topeka.

revenue shows that the total for July. 1905.
was s22,O2 S16. which is a falling off Of
81, 1893, sos. as compared with July. 1907. BY
far the larger part of this decrease is In
the collections from spirits. The most
noteworthy decrease is in the receipts from
the retail liquor dealers special tax. This
indicates that S,646 retail liquor dealers
went out of business during the month Of
July, which is said to Se largely due to
