Show AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE TRUTHS. The Uov. Clomonson must bo in hard straits when ho will disgrace his cloth by being the correspondent of a yellow sheet like the Tribune, and stoop to lceyholo listning to nil up his space. Trustee Owen laid great stress before be-fore the student body about hia being In favor of keeping politics and religion re-ligion out of the college If this is Iso we would like Mr. Owen to rise up and explain why ho has been so actively ac-tively engaged in trying to remove tin present treasurer of tho college and replace him with n man that would deposit tho college funds in a lank owned by Democrats. If ho does not boliovo in politics being Injected into college aflalrs, why is ho trying to change tho college funds rfrom a Republican Re-publican to a Democratic bank? It is understood that tho next meeting meet-ing of the board of trustees of tho Agricultural college will bo hold in this city. It will therefore not be necessary nec-essary for Prest. Kerr to send his carriage car-riage for tho Uov. Clomonson so that ho can report tho proceedings of that body by tho keyhole method. Prest. Kerr of tho Agricultural col-logo col-logo contemns politicians. Hero is what ho said when ho wanted tho A. C. put on tho samo site with tho university: uni-versity: "In order to satisfy t..'o clamor of tho politicians of tho several sev-eral counties of North Dakota, an institution in-stitution of somo kind has been given to nearly every county. Thoy have a university in one county, an agricultural agricul-tural college in nnothor." Cacho county coun-ty must bo grateful to tho open, hon-! hon-! orablo politicians, who placed tho col- lego at Logan "to satisfy tho clamor of tho politicians," against this non-political non-political politician 'who wanted it on tho samo slto with tho University. J & According to the argument of Prest. Kerr of tho Agricultural college, wherein ho says that If tho college should bo united on the same sito with tho State University, tho proportion propor-tion of saving would be $30,000 in an appropriation of $125,000, tnon tho saving today, in an appropriation this !year of approximately $575,000 would bo $90,000. By Kerr's ilgurlng it would tako tho state only a fow years ' to pay for transferring that collogo to tho University slto of Salt Lake, nnd then wo would go on with a permanent perma-nent saving to tho State of $90,000 and upwards overy two years. Kerr's figures fig-ures would knock out Cacho County, if it wore not for tho "clamor of politicians" poli-ticians" which insist on distributing tho state institutions. Mr. Kerr of Logan says he Is not in politics. Tho mombors of tho Legislature, Legis-lature, whom ho postered for weeks in lobbying that caused ' much disturbance, disturb-ance, will not give him a certificate or character. If It had not been for Korr's leaving tho work at tho college which tho state was paying for, and pestering tho legislators as a lobbying lobby-ing politician, there never would havo been a dispute between university and collogo supportors, and tho open candid politicians would not havo had to Interfere to savo tho Agricultural collogo to Logan. Tho Logan Republican says that the G. O. P. has been "dragged into the mire" bocauso tho underhand political scheming of Prof. Win. J. Kerr in the Agricultural collogo has boon oxposod. That's about' as near tho fact as this apologist for and dofonder of Kerr has been ablo to get In tho lato discussion. dis-cussion. If tho board of trustees of tho Agricultural Ag-ricultural collego hold their next iu ting ; - ait ako City, i, uii b- in oi dor 1 v i:,o Logan proxd to nnd stato that this is another dastardly das-tardly atti-i pt on tho part of certain gentlemen in S.Mt Lake to steal t! o college ficm 1 ogan. No doubt Prest. Kerr will : i her.3 to direct affairs as ho has deno in tho past, nnd sco thai Salt Lakers do rot steal tho board ol trustees. |
