Wilson will be considered in connection

for the best man in the world and gel

| This is about the situation as to the
presidency of the college at the present
time. The institution is doing well, is
| getting along admirably. there is har-
mony and hard work on every hand
and there is no danger of the college
| losing caste or taking a retrograde turn
by reason of any delay that may fol-

Henry Wallace, whose interest in the
college has been long and disinterested,
said last evening:
You may say that I have confidence
that the educational board will try
very hard to pick man of great ca
pacity and of unQuestioned executive
ability for the place / understand that
rhs members of the board will not be
in a hurry to select new president.
They will deliberate and select man
who can master the whole task at
Anes In my opinion they should go
outside the faculty and the state and
select man who will be the best that
is possible TO secure. 1t would be use
less to talk of Mr.. Pinchot. wrote
him a letter this morning. but did not
even mention the matter Secretary
Wilson IS also out OF question. The
fact is that men who are capable of
filling positions as heads of colleges
and universities are very rare. Ihere
must be no mistake about it in the Sc
lection OF a man for Anes. The peo-
pie are deeply interested in the mat
ter. for that is an institution that Is
dear 20 their hearts and they want men
in authority TO do the very best pos
sible for the college But 1 think it can
be safely left to the board to act wise
ly''
The board of education will not hold
a meeting until the first Of next month
when it will take up and consider sew
eral matters.
not selected before the beginning OF
the next college year, Secretary Stan
ton will again be AIMED as acting pres
ident his ability to keep things rum
ming along smoothly not being ques-
toned. There has been, SO far as OBJ
served, not a particle of criticism OF
DR.. storms and the only discussion
seems to be as to his ability to get the
different departments to working to-
gether in harmony and to handle all the
executive duties.
The factories and large consumers
Of Des Moines are engaged in buying
and storing coal in large quantities in
anticipation OF trouble in April over the
settlement Of the mine wage scale.
Here in Des Moines where the mine
wage question is conspicuous at stated
periods the coal users learn to get
ready for trouble, and in view Of the
fact that the mines have been working
at full capacity for some time and the
coal shortage continues, it is regarded
as certain that trouble is ahead.
DR.. A. z. Kepford. state lecturer of
tuberculosis. has received a large num-
Der OF letters in connection with his
suggestion made TO school principals
that pupils in the high schools be en-
Outraged 10 treat in their graduation
essays on some phase Of the fight
against the white plague. There is de-
mand for information from all over the
state, and the department will do what
is possible TO supply this demand

The prospect Of a pretty fight in the
Harrison Monona- Crawford senatorial
district is excellent. This is the district
which the genial Will Whiting repre-
sents, but the republicans have the ma
jority: also there IS little doubt that
the standpatters can handle the district
as they please. Harrison county will
present the name Of Representative
Kellogg. one Of the republicans who in
the special session a year and half
ago bolted his party caucus. The Craw-
ford republicans will present the name
Of Carl Keuhnle, long time partner of
Secretary Shaw, and popular in
Pytf1ian circles. It is understood that
Monona republicans will not ask the
nomination, and it is also understood
that Senator Whiting does not care to
continue in office.
There are four avowed candidates for
state fish and game warden, namely: ].
D. Smith, Algona; J. A. st. John,
Usage; James Boyd, Sioux City; Harry
Barmeier. Dubuque. There may be
others whose names have not been
mace puDllc.
Inspection of the companies Of the
Iowa National Guard commences to-
day. Capt. Harry Dalton OF the Six
teenth infantry. commences at New
ton, then goes to Oskaloosa, Grinnell,
Iowa City and finishes the week at
Davenport. Capt. F. J. Mcconnell of
the Eleventh infantry starts in at
Boone today, then to Fort Dodge,
Eagle Grove, Webster City and Water
loo. General Logan has given orders
that, in view of the fact that the war
department has called attention from
year to year OF the low percentage in
attendance at annual inspections in
Iowa, there shall be no absentees for
any purpose; and companies falling
below so per cent in the markings
will be mustered out. In fact some pre-
liminary inspections have been held al
ready to try to bring the Iowa compan-
les up to the proper standard. Two of
tine regiments have substantially II: the
full complement Of men, but the other
two have fallen behind. The inspections
this year will be for the first time on
the absolute basis required for the reg
ular army.
