BEARD Oh EDUCATION REPORT
Forthcoming Document Will Throw
Light on Controversy at Ames.
TRIAL OF GOVERNOR CARROLL
Instructions of Court In Regard "a
Admiration Of Evidence Greatly
20 AdNantRRe Of the
Defense.


DIES MONIES. la. Sept. 5.--tSpecial)-
II is expected that when the first report OF
the state board OF Education is prepared
and made public IT will go far tOwsrd
quleting the evident growing dlscontent
with the manner in which the work Of the
board has been conducted in rs first year.
This report in now in preparation the ma
jor portion being prepared in Cedar Rapids,
which has become the educational capital
OF Iowa" by reason OF the meetings of
the board all being held there and much
Of the business being done there The re-
port. SO IL is stated. will be the most com
prehentye ever prepared. II will be the
intention to form q. basis for the future re-
ports and to make a starting point for the
financial showing of the colleges. The
financial end OF the report will BE- es-
pecialy good and from II one will be
able for the first time, TO secure a definite
idea as to the cost Of the educational
work being done.
IT is stated that only in a general way
will the matter Of the presidency at Ames
be discussed and there will be no direct
effort to answer the structures upon the
board by the retiring president. il is
acknowledged that his statements as to his
having been ignored by the board in all
matters relating to college management
are correct, but the board will show its
purpose in so doing. In regard to the con-
troversy between the board and the agri-
cultural interests of the state over the
retention of Prof Kennedy at Ames nothing
win be said, as that is to be treated as a
personal matter and not closed.
1t appears that the agricultural interests
of the state. as represented by the agrcul-
tural press and by various organizations,
are moving along the line of securing
practically a new deal in regard to very
many matters at the college and while they
are not prepared to make any attack upon
the college or to severely criticise the man
agement they do insist that the time has
come for adoption of a new and more
progressive policy at the college. They
are demanding the selection of presi-
dent of recognized ability throughout the
nation as an educator and leader OF men.
They will oppose anyone who is merely
strong politically and personally with the
board or who is a specialist in some line
and therefore has gained some repute in
college circles. They also insist that the
policy in each department must be to
secure men who will attend strictly to
business and not devote so much time to
outside or private matters.
1t is expected the board will have a
! meeting in a few days when some reply
will be framed up to the letter of the
agricultural editors asking for an open
hearing in the Kennedy matter,
A great many changes in the faculty
have already, been made at Ames. many
more than in any previous year of the
college hisory.-- A great many OF the best
men have resigned pr gone into business
| and 1t is known thatstothers will do SO al
soon as they can.

Trial of Governor Carroll.

The trial of B. F. Carroll on indictment
for libel growing out of the troubles of
the Board of Control will be resumed again
Monday. The ruling of the court In the
,matter OF refusing to take the case from
the jury and direct a verdict of acquittal
did not cause any surprise as it was evi-
dent the state had made out a case suffI-
cient to warrant taking 1t to the jury. But
the court in laying down the law in the
case gave the governor a very decided ad-
vantage in drawing the line tightly as
to the showing of self-defense on the part
of the governor. Because of this. It is an
ticipated that most of the testimony which
the defense will introduce this week will
be in the direction OF showing that the
governor acted solely in defense of himself
in preparing his alleged libellous letter and
that he did not go outside OF the matters
touched upon by Mr.. Cowne.
The whole inquiry has been under the
strict limitations of the rules Of evidence.
very narrow, and it is generally accepted
that only a small part of that which is
germane has been put to the jury.

VIII Not Affect the Campaign.

1t is not generally believed that while
conviction cannot possibly be had, an
acauittal is unlikely and that a divided
jury is more than likely to be the result
in the Carroll case. 1t is also stated that
this will make no difference whatever in
the campaign and that the republican state
committee will Immediately proceed to get
out the fullest possible vote with a view
to vindication of the governor before the
people. If his majority can be materially
increased, which IT is regarded as certain
can be done, it will be accepted every
where as indication that the people approve
fully the course OF the governor in remov-
ing Mr.. Cownie from the board Upon con-
viction the governor probably would pay a
very small fine. There is no contemplation
of any contingency that would take him
out of the political game.

Army ToSraAment TO Begin.


Governor Carroll and staff will attend
the army tournament which begins here to-
morrow at the state fair grounds and par
tieipate therein. The program is an extern
sive one, including sports, and games and
drills, and maneuvers. About 1000 soldiers
are in camp at the fair grounds and prep
arations are made for large attendance
of outsiders. The place is declared to be
| Ideal for the purpose and as last year
tournament was popular il is expected
this one will be well attended.
stock Food Licenses Paid.
More than twenty firms or corpora tons
engaged in the manufacture of continental
stock foods have paid TO the state the
license fee of $500 each for the privilege
! OF engaging in the manufacture or sale
in this state. When the law was enacted
at the request of II. r. Wright, former
state dairy and pure food commissions
the manufacturers resisted and went Int

A PRICE THEORY.
! s +

In a recent number of Broomhall Corn
Trade News is discussion concerning the rea-
son for the present price level of all farm pro-
ducts. After discussing increased gold produc-
ton and it's probable effect the editorial formu-
ates the following theory:
"Thirty years ago there a strong inn
pulse shown in England and America towards
agricultural Improvement, the invention of
many labor-savipg machines took place and the
forces of production and the methods of trans
port were intensified and perfected. In a civil
lied society population generally increases fast
er than agricultural skill, and food consequent
ly tends to become dearer. During the period
when these labor saving devices were first
coming into use, and for some years subse-
quently production suddenly leaped ahead and
left population behind. But the law that or
dams that population always tends to increase
faster than it's means of subsistence was not
abrogated, but merely suspended for while.
In short while population, unrestricted by the
pressure of dear food increased abnormally
fast, as witness the census returns of the United
Kingdom, United States, Germany, Italy and
Austria Hungary during the concluding two
decades OF the nineteenth century In the past
twenty years we cannot think of any notable
labor saving agricultural machinery having
been invented, at any rate none of the like i'm
portance to those introduced in the sixties and
seventies. Population now is again pressing
hard upon the means of subsistence in every
country of the world, hence the higher and
rising range of price" b

The government is at present engaged IN
furnishing free advertising to business firms
and corporations by printing return cards on
stamped envelopes at loss. Not only is this
an unjust discrimination, but it is a drain on
the public revenues and injustice to COM
mercial printers engaged in printing envelopes
for the trade. Senator Nelson has therefore in
troduced a bill to do away with the printing OF
the names of firms or corporations on envelopes
and would limit such printing to the name OF
the postoff1ce with blanks for the firm or corr
poration to write in its own name The change
would be welcome by the printers of the coun-
try IF the government want to furnish any
thing at less than cost, let it be beefsteak

On the of the congressional investiga-
ton into his official record Secretary Ballinger
found occasion to get in sharp thrust at his
adversary, Pinchot, in an address before the
Good Government Club of Williams College,
his alma mater, January %. Although names
were mentioned, it was easy to see that Pinchot
and Roosevelt were the main targets of his re-
marks. He said, in part: 1--WE have been sur
feited for a long time with this kind of public
men and in measure their vagaries have been
seized upon by the faddist and sentimentalist
for exploitation, SO that on many public ques-
tons the public mind is in a ferment of un.
certainty and alarm. Those who do not become
hysterical over their tales of dire calamity are
charged with being in league with or accom-.
plices of these imaginary criminals" He also
said: Constitutional and legal restraints are to
some people inconvenient and often obnoxious,
especially when they obstruct the pathway of
selfish ambition" and, when this seductive
method falls into the hands of clever politicians,
the minimizing people flock to their Standards"
All that is asked of Mr.. Ballinger is that he
place himself clearly on the side of the best in
terests of the people.

Nearly half of the school districts of
Kandiyohi county have discarded numbers and
are now known by names, some of the schools
being named after famous men and others TAX
ing name having some local allusion. z Tue
plan is good one for people will seldom use a
number as the name of district and seldom
know a district by it's number, know where
district of a certain number is located. In
their desire to escape the use of numbers, the
common practice is to designate a school by
using the name of some neighboring farmer,
but this often results in a school being known
by one name among old settlers and another
name by newer settlers. By all means, let us
have some pretty and suggestive names for the
schools of the county

Minister shot WHILE In HIS
PULPIT AT CHURCH.
Had Just Said He Was willing to Lay

After Firing Four Shots at Two Men,

was followed Sunday by his assassina-
ton in highly sensational manner
and the shooting down also of fellow
church leader, John Gay.
Arm in arm, the two missionaries
were leaving the little Congregational
chruch in Woods Run, suburb. at the
head of more than hundred foreign
ers. A raggedly dressed and collar
less man poked his way through the
crowd, and when he was only a step
behind the leaders he pressed the re-
yolver to Skala's head and fired twice.
The bullets took effect in the Jaw
and temple and in the midst of his fol
lowers, Skala fell dead.
Gay, who threw up his right hand as
if to ward off the weapon, was struck
first in the thumb and then a second
bullet was buried in his head. He fell
unconscious across the body of his col
league.
For some moments the assassin stood
over his prey in a crazed contemplation
of the deed, fourishing his revolver
while the panic-stricken crowd fed to
shelter behind posts and d0orways. The
madman was Jan Radowitch, a charac-
ter known to most of the mission for
his shiftless habits, slovenly dress and
radical opinions. A moment before be
