The WAR IS ON

The New York World says:
When John Adams and Alexan-
der Hamilton became enemies
they did not preach at'each other
on texts of brotherly love. nor
Clay and Randolph, nor Jackson
and Calhoun, nor Douglas and
Buchanan, nor Blain and Conk-
ling, nor Cleveland and German.
When democrats split into free
soilers and hunkers, wings into
silver grays and conscience men,
and republicans into stalwarts
and half breeds, the time for
reasonable remonstrance had
passed. They met at Philippi.
In the existing party quarrel at
Washington both factions claim
to want the same thing, and the
president and his cabinet declare
that they want it more than
either, and yet they can not get
together and give the country
much of anything. If there is
to be pitched battle between
the insurgents and the regulars
a good many people would like to
have a diagram, bill of fare. a
book of the opera, a score-card,
or whatever it may be called, for
instruction and guidance"
If "the existing quarrel at
Washington were merely a
personal quarrel, it would be un-
worthy of serious attention.
although it might be very in
teresting.
If it means anything at all, it
means that the dominant forces
in the dominant party have de-
livered the machinery of the
party into the keeping of the
special interests. 1t means that
the policies of the administration
and the legislation sought to be
enacted are shaped to suit special
interests, rather than public
interests.
Now if the cause of the insur-
gent is worthy of respect then
these men stands for the public

UNIVERSITY SHOULD
Be OUT OF POLITICS
This Is the Opinion Express
ed by Members of Board
of Trustees and of
the Faculty.

Fayetteville, April %. Take
the university out of politics, "
was the slogan of the meeting
of members of the Board of
Trustees of the University of
Arkansas and members of the
faculty held here this week.
Various members of the board
and of the faculty delivered ad-
dresses in which they urged the
need of taking the university
out of state politics and so ar.
ranging matters that the univer-
sity will not have to lobby with
every legislature in order to get
a university appropriation
measure through the assembly.
Prof. A. H. Puadue of the
Faculty Club presided over the
meeting held here Wednesday
night. He advocated the need
of giving the president of the
university absolute power of
nomination of all heads of the
various departments, subject to
ratification by the Board OF
Trustees. He urged that sub
ordinates should be selected by
the heads of the departments in
consultation with the president.
Gustave Jones, of Newport, a
member of the board, favored
the levyipg of a special state
tax for the support Of the uni
versity in order that the school
might avoid lobbying.

THE QvAN1ITATIVE THEORY

The New York News Bureau,
said to be the official organ of
Wall Street and the interests, has
issued a bulletin in which it pre-
diets democratic victory. 1t
says that the odds are about five
to four in favor of a democratic
house and adds: 1t is up to the
financial and industrial interests
of the country to decide whether
the prospect is pleasing or not. .
When did it cease to be true that
decision, in our form Of govsrn-
ment, rests with the people?
The Picayune is twice-a-week,
and full of county happenings.
