Il consider that the move the board
made In electing DR.. e. F. Ladd to the

weeks ago at Bismarck"

time asked the board Of regents to
abolish the dual system at the agri-
cultural college, thereby making the
administrative affairs Of the college
come under one head. which the
board authorized yesterday at its ses-
sion.
Again" said Mr.. Worst, '.the board
blamed me for giving my appearance
before the members too much public
ity. They declared it was publicity
on my part and publicity at the wrong
time, and that was airing the affairs
OF the college and criticising their ac-
tions. That's exactly what tho MEM
Ders put up to me. That's the straw
that broke the camel's back.
THE board is now backing me in
my contention but has put me out

TO REWEIGH THE MAILS.

Atlanta, February 1O-On next
Tuesday, February IS, the quadrien-
Eiel weighing of the mails by the post
office department of the United
States government will begin, accord
lnS to the announcement of transpor-
tation officials of railroads entering
Atlanta
J he lesrlt of thai weighing will de-
termine the basis on which the rail
roads are to be paid for transporting
the mails for the next four years,
and there are some actual facts in con-
nection with the handling of the mails
by the railroads that the road officials
want the public to know.
They say that while the railroads
are paid for transportation of mails
on basis of weight carried, the mails
are only actually weighed one in each
four years, with the result that the rail
iCoAO Ndlly lllC lHSlGdSt from one
weighing period to the next without
any compensation whatever. The
normal average increase in weight of
mail is eight to ten per cent per year,
bat since the establishment of the
parcel post that increase has been
more than IS per cent each year. The
serious results to the railroads, they
point out, is therefore evident.
Furthermore, they say, the railroads
are paid for transportation of mails
only, but are required to perform a
great deal of service for which they
get no commission whatever
The railroad companies declare they
arc not only willing but anxious to let
the Interstate Commerce commission
decide what is a reasonable rate of
compensation to be paid for the trans
portation of the mails.

"Suffs" Want to Vote.

The suffragettes of Atlanta, who are
making fight to obtain vote in
municipal elections, may be denied
the right to speak on the streets any
more as the result of the crowds OBJ
structing traffic on the first night the
ladies tried to talk politics in the open
air from the tonneaus of automobiles.
Under the Atlanta city ordinance on
the subject, the mayor has the right
to deny permit to speak on the street
to any persons he chooses and no one
has the right to speak on the streets
without such permit.
The suffragettes may follow the ex-
ample of the socialists and the Anti
Slaton crowds of las year and do
their speaking from the steps of the
capitol. "'r
