Agricultural College.

Fort Collns.-The Colorado State
Board Of Agriculture held its annual
meeting at the college Wednesday
with all members except Governor
Buchtel present. The building COM
mittee was authorized to proceed with
the erection of the building for civil
and irrigation engineering at cost
not to exceed $4,000.
Some special appropriations to the
college are tied up in the Stratton in
heritance tax case and the board au-
thoriZed its attorneys to bring suit IN
conjunction with other educational i'll
situations of the state for the distri-
button of this money. The following
was unanimously passed:
Recognizing the comprehensive
character of the farmers institute
work, which embraces instruction by
all the departments of the college and
is so ably conducted by Professor Cot
trell, this work in our opinion re-
auires special recognition and en-
couragement, as it takes the college
In its field work directly to the people"
Carrying out the purpose of this res
olution Professor Cottrell was made
superintendent of farmers institute
and extension work as a separate di
vision of college work. He was form
erly connected with the agricultural
department.

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMIT
TEE MAKES SELECTION
UNANIMOUS.
LEADS ON FIRST BALLOT
NATIONAL CONVENTION WILL
MEET IN DENVER IN
JULY 9TH.

Was hington.-Denver will have the
next Democratic national convention
and it's convention committee is jubi-
liant over its success.
After the presentation speeches be-
fore the national committee were fin
ished, Denvers offer OF 100000 being
the most effective feature the first bal
lot resulted in vote of % for Denver,
II for Louisville, for Chicago and l
for st. Paul.
When the second roll call COM
menced, Alabama, at the head of the
list, changed its vote from Louisville
to Denver, thus making the vote,
should there be no other changes, %
for Denver against % for the other
candidates.
When Illinois was reported Commit;
teeman Sullivan withdrew Chicago
from the race and voted for Denver,
and other changes resulted in the bal
lot summing up 80 for Denver and u
for Louisville.
Committeeman Woodson of Ken.
lucky then withdrew Louisville and
moved to make the selection of Denver
unanimous, which was carried.
But the troubles Of Denver were not
ended, for Hoke Smith, who held i
proxy for Porto Rico, and Representa-
tive Williams and Clayton Immediately
questioned the policy of accepting a
money consideration for locating the
convention. They said that the Demo-
cratic party had recently profes5ed to
be Mortified at large contributions 20
the Republican campaign fund; it had
demanded that large contributions for
political purposes should cease and
that there should be the greatest de-
gree of publicity surrounding political
contributions. A cash offer for the
convention looked to them like a bride
and it would be all the more reprehen-
siblc for the Democratic party 10 ac-
cept anything more from Denver than
the legitimate expenses of the conven-
tion because the Republican commit
tee had turned down similar cash
Offer.
Tom L. Johnson and Thomas Tag
CART supported the proposition to ac-
cept the cash offered by Denver. They
said it was legitimate business prop
osition and reminded the committee
that if there had not been a balance
left over from convention expenses az
ter the convention at st Louis in 1904
1t would have been entirely without
funds to commence the work OF the
campaign. A motion to accept only the
actual and necessary expenses OF hold
ing the convention was laid on table
by vote of 35 to IA.

OF all the enterprising things done
In Chicago none surpasses the recent
act of widower with four young
children to Look after. He needed n
wife and they needed mother. SO the
man wooed the unmarried women of
his neighborhood, but found none will
ing to assume SO many domestic cares
at once. Therefore he placed placard
in his window one day, bearing the in
scription, "a widower, living within,
wants a wife. Ladies'. if you want 4
husband, inquire within at once" and
remained at home to meet his callers.
The interesting part of the story is
that the callers came, and the man is
likely to find what his children need.

brief that inasmuch as for the past
nearly twenty years. the candidate for

When man deserts from the United
States army the stigma sticks. And
SO it should. A soldier who some time
ago took French leave" now wants
to reenlist in the army and redeem
himself. But he is down on the Off
cial records as deserter, and while
that inscription stands he cannot be
accepted as a recruit He has applied
to the war department to have the
record expunged. but the request has
beea denied, it being the irrevocable
decision of the department to make no
change in the records when they are
in accord with the proved facts. So
the man will go through life branded
as deserter and debarred from the
military service of his country. even
though he desires to make good for
past misconduct He should have
thought of all that, says the Troy
Times. before he ran away.

A Chance for Young Men.

There seems to be new profess
sion open to young men of education
in the consular service. Those who
desire to enter it are now obliged to
take civil service examination and,
therefore, there is an opportunity for
students leaving college to obtain per-
manent places at a moderately paying
salary at the outset of their careers as
bread winners. Indeed, as far as pc
cuniary remuneration is concerned
they would be better off than il they
started as lawyers, doctors or minis
tiers, who frequently have hard strug-
gle to support themselves before they
are well established, and sometimes
have to rely on relations or friends to
help them out of financial difficulties
The department of state seems to
have recognized this to a certain ex-
tent, for it has sent to some of the
higher educational institutions circu-
lar saying that it is anxious to Obtain
the services of recent graduates from
college, and it asks for encouragement
and assistance in this laudable en-
deavor to improve the diplomatic
corps. 1t can offer at the beginning
an annual salary of about S1,S00. This
is not a princely recompense, but
many respectable and intelligent men
are supporting families on 5000 year
less, and are glad to get that amount
even in these times of so-called ma
tional prosperity. We are told that
the professions are over-crowded, but
the consular service is not likely to
be SO for some time to come, now that
appointments and promotions in it are
not dependent on political favor and
influence. To be sure, remarks the
Boston Budget, it is not inviting to the
man who wants to marry and settle
down in one place for his life, but on
the other hand, it offers a chance to
ambitious youth to enlarge their minds
by becoming acquainted with foreign
parts of the world, for the adage says
that the housekeeping young have
ever homely wits.
