 Do you remember when the contest between Sulzer and Wickersham was on for the office of Delegate to Congress? Did lawn Troy condemn the voting of the "illiterates" who cast their ballot for Sulzer. We did not hear of it.

 Yellow Robe of Montana is run ming for the office of United States Senator. He will have the backing of 12,000 Indians under the law passed by Congress this year which gave the rights of citizenship to every Indian within the territorial limits of the United States. Truly this country is going to the dogs when it gets to the stage when a mere Indian can run for office and have a chance for election.
 
 MT. Henderson in one of his school reports says that it would take sev eral generations before the Indians of the Territory would be fit to en- ter the public school system. Doctor Eastman, M. D., of Boston is not far removed from his "illiterate fore fathers" but he certainly has many calls from patients on the Boston reservation" Rev. Henry Roe Cloul did not get away enough generations to have his name changed yet he seemed to have acquired sufficient education at Yale to preach the word of God to audiences that are not altogether of the red race. Rev. Coolidge of the Episcopalian Church in Minnesota did get far enough away to lose the aboriginal name but he is an honored bishop and one listen ed to with respect by many on and off reservations. Father Phillips evil dently got into the wrong pew when he thought the Catholic Church was a reservation for he is an Indian priest not several generations away from aboriginal environment. Char ley Bender who was one of Connie Mack's stand-bys on the famous Athletics in it's championship days; is certainly a refutation of Hender sons statement.

MONTGOMERY, Ain., Feb. 22.- The habit of paying hunting licenses is more prevalent in some parts of Alabama than in orther, or else the inhabitants of some sections of the state are much more given to taking part in sports afield after bear or feathers than their. brethern in other parts. This is indicated by figures from the state treasurer, showing pay ment of hunting licenses by counties for the last fiscal year, which show wide range in amounts paid by the various counties for hunting licenses.
 For example Randolph county paid into the state treasury for the last fis- cal year the sum of $73.55 from hunt ing licenses for theo last fiscal year, while Hale, another small county paid $G65.25. For purposes of comparison Randolph paid greater motor vehicle ment of the general state tax from the engo paid $673.95 from hunting licen- ses compared with $S8.30 from Bolunt. Dallas county paid $1 POS 40 from hunt ing licenses, while Cleburne paid $54.1S, Cullman $146.15 and Fayette $69.S0. DeKalb and Etowah, two counties in the same section of the state, showed a wide range in payment of hunting licenses, the figurse for De Kalb being $144.90 and for Etowah $583. 3.SO. 2 Jefferson county headed the list in hunting license payments, the figure being $S,213.45, Mobile came second with $5.257 and Montgomery third with $3,14715.

AT AUBURN RESIGNS
:Dr. Kinds Will Accept Similar
 Position At Louisiana University

AUBURN, Ala, Feb. 22.-(Special.) ] pr. W. E. Kinds, entomologist for the Alabama experiment station and ex- tension service, has resigned to accept a similar position at the Louisiana State university. His resignation was presented to Dr. Spright Dowell, presi- dent, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, on February 21, and passed on by the board of trustees at their regular meet ing today.
 Tn presenting his resignation, Dr. Hinds stated that an offer came to him from Louisiana two months ago, which he felt impelled him to investigate. Continuing, he said
 "As result of my investigations am convinced that the Louisiana po- sltion affords immediately much more promising opportunity for larger serv- ice to the people of the south in the field of insect control to which I have devoted my best efforts for nearly twen- ty-two years past, than I can see any reasonable promise for here in Alabama for some years to come.
 Effective March 31
 am, therefore, constrained to pre- sent my resignation as head of the de- partment of zoology and entomology, en- tomologist of the Alabama experiment station, and specialist in entomology. Alabama extension service, and ask that you accept thisA resignation, effective March 31.
 T cinserely appreciate the kind, personal interest which has been shown by yourself and the directors of the ex- pertinent station and extension service, and manifested not merely in words, but in the offer of such inducements for me to remain in Auburn as seem to be the maximum possible under your presi ent financial handicaps."
 After acknowledging receipt Of his resignation, President Dowell said:
 Dowell Accepts
 Reluctant as we are to have you leave Auburn, we cannot conscientious .ly ask you to turn down the very flat tering proposition which has come to you from Louisiana State university. This invitation to field of larger service in which you are to have the advantages of adequate facilities and funds bears eloquent testimony to the quality of work you have done for Au- burn and the south, sparticularly in the field of boil weevil, study and control. As much as regret to do so it be- comes my duty to formally accept your resignation, ito take effect on March 31."
 Dr. Hinds has been entomologist for the Alabama experiment station since October l, 1907.

 The board, presided over by Gov. William w.

only Is the unsophisticated freshman too frequently led to place more em- phas1s upon athletics than upon his studies, but the same tendnecy is mani fest on the part of too large a num- Der of students in all classes. The alumni and the public in general in large numbers are swept off their feet by the excitement of the hour. Failure to secure seats. in the middle of the playing field, to receive complimentary tickets or to be allotted as many tickets as one would like, and other causes, no more meritorious and ire quently unf0uhded; make the problems of handling athletics very difficult. The chief business of the college as already stated is to train men of char acter for the business of life and, while football and other athletic, sports should have every worthy considera- tion and support, they should not be allowed to- sidetrack or eclipse the real purpose for which the institntion exists or to conceal the real foundation on which the ultimate. ground of justifica- tion of taxation for education rests.'
 IA recommending increased student fees President Dowell said: It is repugnant to, our nations of equality of educational opportunity to increase fees and that while the increased of fees would distribute the burden among those who most directly benefit from it, we should not lose sight of the fact that this is a discrimination against the student of slender re- sources and will operate to debar some from attending college altogethre."
 New Buildings Completed
 The report included reference to the $14O,OO0 outlay of donated funds for the new dormitory, the completion of the new carpenter shop, worth $35, 900, and the plans for the proposed Ramsay engineering hall to cost $25O,0O0. Bids for this building will be advertised in May. Reference was made also to the proposed student government plan which will be installed provided the faculty approves.
