Any business man knows that, if posi-
BILE to do so, it is best to have the edu-
cational institutions under one con-
trolling body, but whether it is posi-
BILE to find men who are capable of
discharging the responsible duties
thus involved, and making the sacri-
fee necessary to do it intelligently, is
another question. In the end 1t will
be absolutely necessary for the board
to have additional assistance in the
way Of secretaries, as they have in
other states, and operating under SINH
lar plans, but for the present we may
be able to get along If the members
of the board will continue to give the
same amount Of attention to the mat
ter which they have given it since the
organization of the board"
When asked in reference to the
newspaper reports that the expert ac-
countant employed by Governor Noel
to check up the books and accounts
of the former boards of trustees who
were in control of the institutions
prior to the organization of the pres.
ent board, Mr.. Sexton said that this
was the first he had heard of the mat.
ter, and If there are irregularities in
the books and accounts of these boards
he had no personal knowledge on the
subject. The present board has not
considered the subject, having suff
cient troubles of its own, but the books
and accounts of the several institutions
are open to any examination the gov
ernor may see fit to have made.
Regarding the recent actor
of the board in abolishing the
Greek letter fraternities at the Uni
versity of Mississippi, Mr.. Sexton sait
that a variety of opinions are being ex
pressed and it all depends on the poin
of view.
"I am just in receipt of lette
from one of the students" he said
"who was in attendance at the recen
board meeting, and who says that tn,
action will mark an epoch in the his
tory of the university that will be pre-
ductive of good to generations ye
unborn. And another man tells M
that the action will prove ruinou
to the university. AS a matter of fact
both positions are untenable. l be
lieve the action of the board will, il
the long run, be best for the univel
sity. However, the fraternities an
sororieties have not been immediatel
abolished, but the board merely passe
resolution providing that after tn
present year they shall not initial
new members, and we ask the variou
fraternities to surrender their cha1
ters to their respective parent organ
cations with the going out of the prei
ent active member from the unive
sity.'

with increased heat:
"She says you have refused to make

that's all nonsense. My wife knows
how she wants her hat to look. and If

afternoon to try the hat on again. If
it isn't ready by that time there will

The proprietor twirled the black hat

the head saleswoman lugubriously.

who ordered that hat did bring it back

will be possible to make the altera-

The Collapse
of the Taft
Administrations

A vigorous and Informative article
by Judson c. Welliver, whose "Is
Roosevelt Inevitable" in "HAMP-
TONS" for August, created more
discussion than any article OF the
day. Mr. Welliver has the knack
of telling precisely the things we
want-to know; the interesting "be-
hind the scenes" which is unknown
to the general public. This article
fully explains why President Taft
has failed and why there is so much
talk about a third party. Everyone
who is interested in the political
history that is being made every
day must read Mr.. Welliver's ex-
position of the situation.

because he said it was too early to
determine whether complications might
render Martins condition serious.

struggled desperately with the officer
who captured him and that two load
ed revolvers were found upon him aft

Oyster Bay, N, Y, July 2.-Theodore
Roosevelt. as native oyster in his
own phrase is to be more active this
summer than the faunal naturalists
have hitherto found oysters, native or
otherwise to be. Colonel Roosevelt
does not wish to hedge himself about
with formalities at the same time he
has work to do which demands his
time. Accordingly visitors come by
appointment, but since there is no ex-
ecutive Office here now to do the weed
ing out, the appointments are made
at the colonePs editorial offices in
New York.
An important conference was ex-
pected this forenoen with three west
e-n insurgents, but their names were
withheld until their actual arrival. The
colonel is painstaking in his informal
chats not meant for direct quotation
to indicate that he is not wooing the
insurgency.
The insurgents come to him, he does
not summon them. Governor Hughes
asked him for an expression of opinion
on the direct primaries, he did not
attempt to dictate.
Usually these seekers of counsel ar
rive by the noon train. take luncheon

Sen. Jos. L. Bristow and Rep. E Fl.

Kansas and all insurgents arrived here
at noon for a conference with Theo-
dere Roosevelt. They will return this
afternoon.

asked.

quiesced.
