 Little Rock, Ark, June 11.-lAt the annual meeting of the trustees of the State University here today the report of John F. Rutherford, Gustave Jones and George B. Cook, committee in charge of the Branch Normal at Pine Bluff, was submitted It was shown that there was at present no prescrib- ed course of study to prepare negroes to teach. The committee recom- mended that curriculum be framed by the Superintendent of Public h. struction and that no teachers be elected who cannot stand the examin- ation. Isaac Fisher was reelected principal and Mamie June, Christine Rambo and T. c. Ogden were elected teachers, provided the last two can stand the examination. Sadie M Me- Murray resigned as teacher.
 w. s. Harris, who has charge of the mechinical department of the col lege, and J. L. Ross, his assistant were also reelected. The other members of the faculty will be elected at another meting of the trustees.
 A resolution was adopted instruct ing the comimttee to investigate into the laws to see if the present location can be disposed of without impairing the rights of the state, also into the advisability of selling the property and to ascertain if new site can be secured outside of Pine Bluff.
 Superintendent George B. Cook was instructed to take up the matter of an endowment for the Branch Normal College with the Southern Education al Board, as the Board has promised to endow the College if it is moved out of Pine Bluff. A warm debate was indulged in over the contract for uniforms for University cadets, as they have been let outside of the state, but the Board sustained the con- tract.

r. If
In the democratic party four years
ago. There were false reports circu-
lated and believed relative to Porters
ideas regarding crtain matters Of pol
icy, principally as regards prohibition
and the regulation of the liquor traf-
fic; Cummins, shrewd politician, work
ed both ends against Porter and an
other element in the democratic party
for convenience and for want of bet
ter excuse, charged him with being a
tool of the corporations, a puppet to
do the standpatters' bidding, and they
knitted him. So Porter was defeated
| Mr.. Porter carried Blackhawk coun
ty four years ago. There is no reason
why he should not do SO again. The
campaign Is about to begin and the
Times Tribune enters 1t enthusiastica
lily, confident that, win or lose. Mr.
Porter is man worth working for

qualities and on account Of the goot

a. PARTY PLERlsclTE.

To New York the chief interest of
the Iowa primaries is not in the re
suit but in the party plebiscite itself.
The opponent of DIRECT nominations
may say that the Iowa Republicans
failed to live up to their reputation
for radicalism and did not always use
the best Judgment in naming candi-
dates. That is their own affair.
Whether the victory lies with stall
warts or insurgents is of far less inn
portance than the fact that the nom
nations represent the will of the vot-
ers and were dictated by no boss or
by no coterie of corporation lawyers.
The same comment may he ap
piled to the primaries elsewhere and
to the result in the Thirtieth District
of Pennsylvania, where John Dalzel
pulled through by the skin of his
teeth, provided he pulled through a
all.

HElkE,s CONVICTION.

Charles r. Heike, the chief officer
Of the sugar trust has been convict.
ed by jury and will probably be
) iheavily fined and imprisoned in
some penitentiary.
From one view of the case this is
o little unjust toward Heike For
many years he has stolen millions
from the government and has divided
these stolen millions each year with
the Mark Hanna's of the republican
party, and they have been used to
keep the party in power whose Off
Gals are now sending him, in his old
age, to a felon's cell.
The unexpected and tragic death of
President Mckinley made Roosevelt
president Roosevelt, whose spear
knows no brother turned upon the
sugar trust, and the discoveries made
during his terms as president made
1t impossible for the Taft admins
tration to stay proceedings.
Heike may go to prison, but he will
know that his crimes have helped
many men holding high government
offices to the, positions which they
occupy.
Heike's conviction viii! be good
thing IL it helps to secure the pas
sage Of better law in relation to
campaign contributions. Campaign
contributions of vast sums by big in
terests which have extensive bust
ness relations with the government
are productive of crime; they tend
to blunt the public conscience; they
are indefensible upon any ground or
from any standpoint.

MR.. PORTER, CANDIDATE.

Members of the democratic organ
ization over the state will welcome
Claude R. Porter as the party's stand
ard bearer in the campaign of 1910.
If it had been known Mr.. Porter
was to he a candidate early in the
year. there probably would have been
no opposition to his candidacy. He
would have been accorded a unani-
nous nomination.
The strength of Porter is reflected
In the vote he received without effort
on his part. This was due to the fact
that Mr.. Porter is favorably known
over Iowa and testimony to the effect
that being known, he is not ,misjudg-
ed--his true value is seen He is, in
fact, an ideal candidate. Vigorous,
young. honest, able. conscientious,
courageous. earnest, competent. he
would make an ideal governor. Shoule
he be elected he would bring such
fame to Iowa as the late lamented
Governor Johnson brought to Minne-
sofa. He is of the same stamp of
man.
He is not without experience in
state government affairs. He made an
enyiable record as state senator. Hell
holds the confidence of republicans as
well as democrats. He is clean, clear
cut and man for whom his republi-
can neishbors do not hesitate to vote.
Mr. Porter is democratic in his
ideas and in the nature of things he
is genuinely progressive In no sense
is he standpatter. Nominated, he |
would preach as former Governor
johnson preached. He would be a |
new advocate of new Iowa idea. He |
would carry the spirit OF the central
west to all parts Of the country. He !
would add to Iowa's fame. AS gov
ernor of Iowa he would out-distance
the penurious and narrow-minded Car
roll in every department.
Mr.. Porter should, and we believe

AN OUTSIDE VIEW OF THE RE
SUIT IN IOWA.

(From the Chicago Tribune,)
The results of the Republican pri-
marles in Iowa are not in the nature
of an insurgent landslide, but they In
dictate strong drift toward insurgen-
icy. Iowa Republicanism, despite its
development OF militant protest on
railroad contsol and tariff reform spir
it as represented by the Iowa idea,
is naturally conservative, because the
social and economic conditions Of
such a community make for conserva
tism
1t is, therefore, neither surprising
nor discouraging that Senator'S Gum
minis and Dolliyer, for all their bril-
liant leadership. were not able tt
make clean sweep. The results
were substantial gain in the de
feat Of Hull and the addition of twe
more Insurgents as we'll as in the gel
eral growth Of insurgent sentimen'
shown by Prouty's heavy vote ant
the narrow escape of Gov. Carroll
whose majority over the same oppon
ent, Mr.. Garst, only two years agt
has been cut from $4,000 to $500 o.
1000.
1t is to be considered in this re
spect also that Gov. CAROLS admin
istration as governor has not been at
tackled and that logically insurgenc!
| is not a relevant consideration IL
the choice OF a state official. 1t !:
true, owing to the necessary organi
cation of political activities. align
ment had placed Gov. Carroll on ONE
side, where his sympathies doubtless
are, and Mr.. .Garst on the other, 81
that his success must be counted fol
the regular faction. But it is not al
direct a test as the defeat Of the
regular Hull or the success OF the
regular Smith. Iowa is still, though
apparently in less degree, debatable
ground.

The standpatters pretend to be elat.

THEN AND NOW.

When the Bryan democrats in 1896
took the position that the dividing
line Of politics in this country, when
properly drawn, would run between
the interests of the common people
and the "big interests" they were
called cranks whose success would
ruin the business of the country.
Many supposedly good men at that
time approved Of what "the inter
ests" did when they raised untold
millions and placed them in the
hands of Mark Hanna to be used
as quasi bribery fund for the de-
feat Of progressive, militant de-
mocracy.
But now, after the lapse Of less
4 than fourteen years, the political line
has been placed just where the Bry-
an democrats commended that it
should be.
Encouraged by their purchased sue
cess in 1896 1.-THE interests" became
more open and dangerous to the Ia
BORN. masses. Confederated wealth
criminal wealth, continued to scheme
for the control of every department
of the government. and was more
intolerant, If anything. when oppos-
ed by republicans than by democrats
In these few years this line has di-
vided the republican party into
nearly equal sections. On the one
side stand the progressiyes upon
ground quite similar to that occupied
by the Bryan democrats in 1896. Ant
the standpatters are on the othel
side, and the differences between the
two factions are as great as the DIFF
'ferences between any two politica
parties that ever existed in the his
tory OF the country.
Speaker Cannon voiced the ami
mostly which the standpat leader
feel for the progressiyes in speed
made by him few days ago. HI
called the progressives insurgents
and said that they deserved hang
ing, that shooting was too good 70
them"
Outside of few purely local aues
tlons, the politics Of this country 70
the past 20 years or more. wnel
sproperly understood, has consisted 9
s q struggle between the producers 9
wealth on the one side, and tn
po-sessors OF wealth and the gamt
lers in wealth on the other side. An
the struggle is to determine whic
side will appropriate to its own US
the larger share Of the wealth pr'
duced.
The wealth producers are Legion
while their adversaries are few BIT
owing to the want of organizatio
and ignorance of the many the fe'
appropriate to themselves the large
part Of the increased wealth of tn
country. But the laboring masse
are learning, and when they becon
fairly advised "the interests" wi
either have TO bend or break.
