It has h- en a clean and creditable almtnlstra tlin. Cook contends, is more important to to the great majority ot young people than the" system in vogue ot training everyone to enter one of the professions, which are already overcrowded to a remarkable extent Fcjtr state normal school were also visited, and Mr. Cook' was impressed by the amount of attention given to industrial subjects at all of these. In comparison with these, the Spearflsh normal ranks high.

Of these schools ot four states, the value ot their buildings and equipment reached as high as $425,0000, while the cheapest represents aa outlay of $260,000. Our own normal school with a total cost to the state of not to exceed $160,000, is doing exactly as good work for the students, and has fully as intelligent and well trained Instructors, owing to the excellent management. Technical and agricultural sub joins cannot oe overestimated or overemphasized, in the opinion of President Cook, and he finds that the most advanced institutes iq the East and the most prominent educators hold to this idea. Mr. Cook would demand that agricultural subjects be taught zealously in the state normal schools of the West, and especially in this state, where the farm will become la future a much greater factor than at present Then with a practical wjrking knowledge of the Bubjit Instilled into those who went out to become active teachers in tha cnuntrv atd In the small cities and tow is of this commonwealth, they wjiil be in position to transmit to thair pupils the P''rclples of farming, most ust- iuj science we possess, anj thfl one that will be used more than any other by the majority pf the youths of this state.

Until this is done, the normal president believes much of the money spent in our common schools is little lees than wasted. there Is more than a possibility that he will announce himself as a candidate before the campaign is much iurtner advanced. In addition to these, Clyde Spargo of Lead, is a'so spoken of as a candidate tor the office. A Deadwood school boy, fourteen years old, decided to strike out for himself Monday night, and taking his gun, struck out for the valley. During the night he got a notion that beat the original one a block, and was headed back for town, when he encountered a searching party that was on his trail.

WANTS WASHINGTON, March 15. -Speak er Cannon has been warned by some of his closest friends that Represen tative Mann ot Illinois, the official Republican objector of the House and the chairman of the committee on- Interstate and foreign commerce, has a method In his increased activities, and It Is nothing else thin a desire to succeed Mr. Cannon as speaker of the House of Representatives. On a very dull day and wttb no particular object In view, Mr.

Mann can find more faults in a bill than all the other members of the House combined, but of late he ha4 surprised even himself. As chairman of the commerce committee Mr. Mann has not hesitat ed to say openly what he thinks of President Taft's proposed interstate commerce bill, and it has not all been complimentary. His committee has changed that bill very material ly. This has led to the conclusion In some blpb quarters that the mem ber from Illinois is paving the way to be a candidate for Mr.

Cannon's job, not only on an anti-Cannon plat form, but on an anti-Taft platform The hour for striking had been set for next Monday morning, when the representatives of the general man agers of forty-seven railroads sent, at the eleventh hour, an appeal to Chairman Knapp ot the interstate commerce commission and Commissioned of Labor Nell to offer their services. The proffer of mediation was accordingly telegraphed to W. t. Carter, president of the Brotherhood ot Locomotive Firemen and Engine-men, who accepted, stipulating, however that action begin immediately and in Chicago. According to Carter, the functions of the mediators will be to decide what shall be arbitrated, as both sides have agreed arbitrate wages.

The railroads refuse to arbitrate the control of tb union over promoted firemen, and over seniority. over seniority. "If the mediation falls through, the strike win gc as planned," said Carter tonight. CUMMINS ATTACKS RAILROAD BILL wieuiuimiN Uni-nh IK In ft and buter nounced he would continue tomorrow, Senator Cummins ot Iowa, announced his unalterable opposition to the railroad bill. He declared that the executive had overstepped his functions in preparing the form ot the bill, and that the bill has bena mauled out of its original form, at the suggestion of the railroad Interests.

THE WEATHER. WASHINGTON, March 14. South Dakota Fair, colder Wednesday. Thursday, fair. Wyoming Generally fair Wednesday and Thursday, fair way to become one of the most as well.

Indeed, Mr. Mann is In a prominent members of the "Back-from-Elba Club." Mr. Mann is always In his seat when the House is in session. He always wants to know why. When th unanimous consent" calendar la the order of the day, he la Quickest to put a bill out of the running for the time by his "I object." He has stepped oh more Republican and Democratic toes, perhaps, than, any other man in the House.

Nc longer than a few weeks ago he said some very severe things about the way that Wade Ellis, acting assltant Attorney general, was running the Re publican campaign in Ohio, and mix lng government business in with it. The Ohio Republicans took it as a slap at them, and at President W. H. Taft, who wanted Mr. ElUa to take the helm in his state.

For a long time these actions of Mr. Mann have puzzled the House. Now, however, the secret Ts out, a-tf whether he admits it or not, he will be regarded as an aspirant for the nanVAFohln A RSH was none, "With Us ramifications, lnilueuo money and power, gave it carte blanche, let It combine and cut prices, and I predict it will control every Industry In this country within five years" he cried. "It is but a step from combination to socialism and from socialism to anarchy." D. T.

Provision for agricultural instruction Is' needed most ot all, and hundreds ot thousands of dollars are annually wasted by impractical methods In our schools." President Cpok ot the SpearMsh state normal school made this state ment yesterday in an interview given a Pioneer-Times (representative, in which he discussed his recent trip to the East, and the things he saw. Mr. Cook returned only a tew days ago from a visit to Indianapolis, Ind where he went to attend Joint meet ings of a number ot educational associations ot national scope.

Ten separate organizations were In ses sion, and thus attracted a very large number of the most prominent educators In the country. The plan ol the meetings was to have certain hours when each would meet sepa rately other times when small group would assemble together, with the evenings given over to addresses by men of national and International reputation which all delegates attended. In addition to securing rich advantages gained by mutual associa tion of these specialists, President Cook also Investigated carefully In to the matter of manual tratntcg and industrial education as carried en In the best schools. Several techni cal schools were visited, 1 one which especially interested him, was the Winona Technical Ilnstltute, In which ten trades are taught. Fore most among them Is a printing trade school.

A class of twenty had Just begun the study of the Linotype machine, and a number of machines were completely dissembled and laid about the floor, the first step In this work being to become so familiar with the machine, that the opeator can take it apart and assemble it again. Such training as this, Mr. ALL THREE MAT BE IN RACE It Is among the possibilities that the entire force of deputies in the county treasurer's office may be in the race for the Republican nomlna--tion for the position of county treasurer, at the June primaries.
