Such cases are not uncommon.

fault with the system which 'seizes

ISac SUM-

TIE daily press Of the state appears
to be agreed than unless other facts
develop concerning the resignation Of
President John G.. Bowman OF Iowa
state university, the state board OF
education is largely at fault in the
matter. The idea is becoming general
that James H. Trewin, president Of
the board, is taking to himself entirely
too much responsibility for the man
agement of the schools. and is seek
ing in that management to favor his
personal friends. When Mr.. Trewin
was appointed a member Of that board
the Sun was one Of the very few news
papers in the state which severely crit
icised the appointment. It has not
seen any occasion to change its opin
ion of Mr.. Trewin's unfitness. Not
w!thstand.ng his acknowledgement
ability, he is politician Of the old
spoiis schools and can not rid himself
of the political habits which wholly
unfit him for the position he holds.

It can hardly be urged against the
parole board in any way. Carroll took
the matter in hand himself and is re-
sponsible for it. The criticism going
on is not against the parole board or
against paroles but bears upon the
parole Of a man who sought to have
been kept in but who was freed to
please and placase politicians. It is
not against the parole system when a
man like Richards goes back. He
| ought never to have come out. The high
average Of men who make good on

a parole system.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

The Hampton Chronicle says, that
One of the biggest drawbacks to the
state schools of Iowa is ]. H. Trewin.
member OF the state board Of educa-
ton, who was appointed TO the place by
3. F. Carroll, then governor. For q
man with brains, this man Trewin can
do more damage to the schools of Iowa
tnan any dozen men can repair in
years. 1t will be a mighty lucky day
for the educational interests Of this
state when Trewin is kicked clear off
the board. There has been fight and
turmoil in the schools from the very
day he became a member and started
on his natural overbearing, bullheaded
policy.
The New York state senate has
voted down a bill to restrict the sale
Of bichloride OF mercury. Like the
Iowa blue sky la%, some Judge would
have declared ii unconstitutional any
way says the Davenport Democrat.
The Usage News: "As a matter OF
fact can see no reason why doctor
should not advertise. Practically every
other profession offering its services
for sale, makes use Of paid publicity as
a means of getting business. II doc
tor is specialist along particular
line, why should he not advertise him.

The Storm Lake Pilot Tribune
takes note that There mas been much
serious con- plant against Chairman
Trewin. He has been severely criti-
cized by almost all friends of the State
Teachers college at Cedar Falls, and
it IS a matter OF common knowledge
that President Seer,ey. the greatest
man in his life OF endearor in the

The definition of God as Love, given
