STATE FACULTIES

IMPORTANT MEET.

Special to The Netcs.
jackson, Miss, June 6.-The board
Of trustees Of the higher educational
institutions Of Mississippi adjourned
late yesterday afternoon, after siren
uous week, during which time the
trustees attended the commencement
exercises at the l. I. & c. at Column
bus, the A. and M. at Starkville and
the University Of Mississippi. At the
three institutions the trustees affixed
their signatures to the diplomas of
the graduates, numbering nearly half
thousand.
The session of the board for the
past two days was devoted to the
business affairs of the colleges. The
reports and recommendations of the
college heads were filed with the
board some time in auvance of the
annual meeting, which gave the trus
tees an opportunity to study the de-
mands and recommendations, and
thereby be the better prepared to pass
upon the various matters to come up.
The trustees adopted a resolution
providing for the elimination of the
preparatory department at the |. l..
and c., which was in line with the
resolution passed last year, that the
1914 session would be the last time
this department would be maintained.
But few changes were made in the
faculties of the higher institutions. At
the l. |. and C. Miss Scott, of the pre-.
paratory department. was dropped
from the roll because of the elimina.
ton of her department. Miss Marian
Paisley, of Pamela county, Miss All
bright and Miss Malloy were not re-
elected, and President Whitfield was
instructed to fill their places.
An order was passed that will ma
terially reduce the fees charged at the
university. The reduction in the
academic department will amount tc
over fifty per cent.
Gov. Brewer, chairman of the board
presided at the annual meeting. II
was estimated by the trustees that
the general improvement in the states
educational institutions during tn,
Brewer administration has been 100
per cent.

MR.. MORGAN'S SUDDEN
CONVERSION.

Like the Westchester stock, the Nor
gan statement is worth "about ten
cents a pound" 1t may serve very well
AS sons defense of his fathers mo-
tives, but it neither adds nor takes
away single fact in the record of New
Haven corruption.
Mr.. Morgan now says that Gin the
present state of the New Haven's af-
fairs the stockholders are entitled to
have made public every obtainable
bit of evidence bearing not on one but
on all sides of the question" This is a
belated but an important concession.
When the Interstate-Commerce Com
mission undertook its first investiga-
ton, such evidence could not be OBJ
tanned. Commissioner Prouty reported
that in the Westminster transaction
alone $12 100000 had apparently wan
ished into thin air." His experience
in trying to extract the truth from New
Haven directors and officials was so
discouraging that he expressed grave
doubts as to whether anything could
be gained by second investigation.
The stockholders and the public are
OF course entitled to have made pub
lie every obtainable bit of evidence"
but none of it ever has been made pub
lie by the Morgans and the Rockefel-
lers and the Bankers and their asso-
ciates. Oakleigh Thorne testifies that
he has burned the books and records
of his transactions with ]. P. Morgan
& Co. in the Westchester undertaking
Billiard has testified that he burned
his books and records. Tammany Hall
keeps no books. If the books of the
New Haven show that for years the
dividends were paid out Of borrowed
money, it is certain that the official
statements of the company made no
such revelation. If Mr.. Morgan actual
ly knows how much the Westchester
cost and where all the money went,
he has scrupulously kept the secret.
Mr.. Mellen has said under oath that he
did not know, and he has offered evi.
dence to prove that the directors as
body did not know and were not al.
lowed to know.
By all means let "every obtainable
bit of evidence" be made public; but
every obtainable bit of evidence
would have been suppressed if The
World, after long investigation OF
New Haven corruption, had not pub
lished the revelations that caused the
United States senate to order the pres
ent inquiry. In making these expos
ures The World had no assistance from
Mr.. Morgan or from any of the direc
tors of the New Haven. They ma!
want ublicity now; but they wanted
none until the Mellen testimony hat
made silence and secrecy a comics
sion Of guilt.-New York World.

BY "PEACEABLE MEANS"
(From the New York WORLDLY


Privilege in the United States ap-
pears in many forms. Sometimes 1t
is an extortionate tariff. Sometimes
It is a subsidy. Sometimes it is spe-
cial legislation carefully disguised.
Sometimes it is gained by mere assump-
ton and held as vested right.
In these cases property and capital
are favored. When labor seeks privi-
lege it enters another field. 1t asks
personal immunity for crime. 1t de-
mands that laws and penalties be sus
pended in it's behalf. 1t insists that
acts which performed by others are
forbidden and punished shall, when
chargeable to its own representatives
be legalized and rewarded.
To establish this most odious form
of privilege the House at Washington
has hit upon the idea that picketing
and boycotting when pursued by
"peaceable means" are not unlawful.
In an effort to set apart favored class
forever, 1t has passed bill amending
the Antitrust law so as to exempt
labor unions from its operation.
Practically every offense against
which that law runs is committed by
"peaceable means" Some of the great.
est of crimes against society are com.
mitted by "peaceable means" For al.
