DR.. JAMESON ACCEPTS
OUACHITA PRESIDENCY
LATE HEAD OF MERCER UNI
VERSITY WILL GO TO AR
KANSAS SCHOOL. t

Arkadelphia, June 12.-Dr. S. Y.
Jameson, late president of Mercer
University of Macon, Ga, wired the
trustees of Ouachita College yesterday
that he had accepted the presidency
of the Arkadelphia institution, and
would be here for work on Monday,
June 16 DIR. Jameson's acceptance is
due in no small part to the persistent
efforts of the Ouachita trustees, who
have been earnestly trying to fill the
vacancy left by the resignation of DR..
r. G.. Bowers, who has accepted the
call as pastor of the First Baptist.
church of Little Rock.
DR.. Jameson was elected early in
the spring and came TO Arkadelphia-
for the purpose of looking over the
situation. He declined the place at
that time. During the meeting of the
board of trustees of Ouachita College
at commencement this month, Dr.
Jameson was reelected and the news
wired to him, whereupon he withdrew
his declineation and wired that he
would answer in seven days. He has,
in the meantime. rendered his resigna-
ton to the Georgia institution, and the
hopes of Ouachita authorities were
verified when the expected answer was
favorable.
That college presidents are in de-
mand is shown in the fact that the
University of Arkansas, Hendrix, A.
kansas College and Ouachita were this
spring left without heads. The sup
porters of Ouachita College over the
entire state have reason for eiatlon
over the securing of man OF erai-
nence and ability the calibre OF Dr..
Jameson, having been at the head OF
Mercer. one of the leading educational
institutions of the south, for seven
years. He comes highly qualified TO-
direct the course of Ouachita College
ard viii meet with the hearty cooper
alton of the friends of the Baptist
school in advancing the educationar
standards OF this state.

know and understand their rights on
that question.
There was much opposition to my
idea of such settlement, but the rail
road commission issued freight and
passenger tariff and ordered the en-
! forcement of the same by the rail
roads. The railroads filed suit for in
junction in the federal court at ST.
Paul, MINI. l attended the hearing
in two instances-July and Septem-
Der of that year. w. F. Kirby, then
attorney general, assisted by Morris
M. Cohn and George B. Rose, ap-
peared for the state. Judge John M.
Moore and others for the railroads.
Judge Van Devanter, now a member
of the United States supreme court,
heard the case argued and issued a
temporary restraining order. This
was afterwards made permanent by
Judge Jacob Trieber. When the leg
islature met the following January in
my message to that department of the
state government l said, in part:
g The records of our legislative
proceedings will show that for 80
years laws favorable to the railroads
and none adverse to them have been
passed But finally it became an open
secret that the principal railroads in
Arkansas were buying legislation ia
vorable to themselves and oppressive
Ito the people of the state. These open
secrets were subsequently, developed
in the newspaper statements, but the
climax came when the facts came out
in open court proceedings
"At ST. Paul, Mimi, at two hear
ings | heard the railroads make the
allegations that they were losing mon
iey in Arkansas because the swamps
were too sickly; the hills too steep,
and because the ties rotted too quick
ly, and that the curves had to be built
too sharp. Then I concluded that so
far as l was concerned | would rather
see the receipted bills and actual pay
rolls for material and labor bought
and paid for than listen to such ar
gument.
81 asked the legislature for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to fight the
cases-an appropriation was made
and I was given the power to appoint
three lawyers to fight the case.
II persuaded Judge James H. Hill,
the chief justice of our supreme court,
to resign his Office and take charge of
the case. AS his assistants, Hon. Jas.
H. Harrod and Judge w. F. Kirby
were appointed. After we had lost
the case in the lower court it was in
deed difficult to get sufficient interest
taken in it to get it into the United
States supreme court. The legisla-
ture of 1911 adjourned without max
ing an appropriation for this purpose
and one of the chief reasons l
called the extra session was to
get an appropriation TO further prose-
cute the case. Now that we have
gained a signal victory in winning 1T,
J. feel proud of the part l have acted
in it. But in doing all this work 1T
! took team and good one, too. The
principal workers in this team were
the members or the railroad commits
sion at that time: Hon. R. P. Allen,
J. w. Crockett and Col. Hampton. AS
before stated, the lawyers in the case,
who made the final fight for the state,
were Judge Hill, J. H. Harrod and w.
F. Kirby. Too much cannot be said in
praise of the great fight made by
these lawyers. To them and the OIL
GERS mentioned, the state owes a last
ing gratitude"
