Intelligent labor is needed as in any other business Wide miles of land in our country still allure the seeker for a home. Get back to the soil and gain in strength of body and charac. ter. When your school days are past, think of what the farm offers. No business offers more to the man who has no special employment than agri. culture. To get in touch with the old earth and know the value of the soil beneath your feet is to gain in self. respect and feel nearer to God - Milwaukee Journal

Head and Cock, to. gether with President F'utra1l of tha university. met in Little Rock to dis cuss with Dean Carmichael the af fairs of the law school Two years disallowing the use of the name Uni. versity of Arkansas by the law school after June. 1914 One year ago an- other resolution was passed allowing the use of the name until June, 1915. in order that students already en. rolled might receive diplomas from the university.
 The committee submitted to Dean Carmichael a proposition to take over the law school as a part of the uni versity provided the trustees should have the same control over this de partment as over other departments of the institution. The proposiuon in eladed the right of the trustees to elect the faculty. fix salaries. control the finances, establish requirements for entrance and graduation. etc
 Dean Carmichael and members Of the law school faculty, after consider ing the proposition. decided that un- der present conditions. and without a state appropriation, they could not ac- cept the offer of the trustees. The connection of the law school with the university has therefore ceased. It is understood te be the intention of Dean Carmichael to continue the school as a private institution. The law school was established about % years ago by F M Goar. and has since that time been known as the University of Arkansas law depart ment. although the trustees have at no time had any control over it. The position taken by the present board if that any department bearing the name University of Arkansas must be under the control of the trustees.

P~ARTISANISM RUN MAD

From force Of habit, mayhap, but more likely
issued the orders, a number Of democratic papers
have begun to fill their editorial columns with par
tisan folderol. One Of the chief offenders is here
ahouts. No campaign Is near, yet the purpose is
not difficult TO discern.
The great mass Of independent papers which
constitute the brains and sinew of the republic,
are Ignoring partisan matters in their patriotic de
termination to give to the president, not Woodrow
Wilson, democratic leader, that support in his try
ing negotiations with foreign states which the best
traditions Of the country demand. Even the re.
publican papers are pursuing a like policy
Confident Of this patriotic adherence to duty
on the part of those editors who might be ex
p"cted to point out the weakness and failures Of
the domestic policy of the administration, consid.
cred IN a political sense, the ultra. partisan press
has set yelping like a pack Of beagles on the scent
of u mouse.
The gentlemen, perhaps, know what every
reading, thinking man in America quite fully
understands, that only a foreign question can save
'N f''''H' nh"HIlslIdllOI, hthl Americans are
Americans first of all. And if the national gov.
eminent continues fronted by foreign foes abroad,
and Quasi-Americans at home. then that spirit
which has rallied to the defense Of American insti.
tulIons in every crisis. will support him even in a
partisan contest.
But unless saved by just such a condition as
we have suggested, the present administration
Will, in 1916, be swept from power by a majority
greater than ever known before. An administra.
tlon will be elected to encourage business to put
crimps in industrial stagnation. instead Of itself
putting crlmps into business and prosperity. The
partisan name of that ticket will be quite Incl
dental. This, in spite of the freuzIed utterance,
OF a partisan press. We are not arguing we ar,
telling you.
