GHILDREN CHEER KING AND QUEEN Pleasing Feature of the Farewell in Dublin. July %.—King Edward and er xandra left Dublin by train rtly noon to-day, accompanied v before Princess ictoria and their suites, on their way to wtownards, County Down, to wvisit the Marquis of Londonderry at nis Mount Stewart residence. Notwith- standing the rain, the royal party drove om the vice regal lodge in open car- ages and halted at Phoenix Park to review thousands of school children, who shrilly cheered. One of them passed a bouquet to the Queen. This was one of the most touching features of the Dublin reception, which throughout was remark- able for its enthusiasm and the entire absence of unpleasantness. The route to the ral station was packed by con- tinuo cheering people, who gave the royal visitors a magnificent farewell, A message from King Edward to the Irish people, issued to-day, expresses deep appreciation of the loyalty and affection with which the Queen and King were surrounded during their stay in Dublin, and saye the King trusts that in God's providence the Irish may enjoy blessings commensurate with the warmth of their hearts.

The development of the soul is by far the most important thing in this life—far more necessary than professors as a rule realize. All education should tend toward this same alm, and this de- velopment can only be obtained by fol- lowing the maxims and teachings of the greatest of all teachers that ever lived, our precious Savior—Jesus Chriet. “My dear friend and helper, whom I prize so highly, while discussing this let me say to you that when I take up a paper, s 1 did yesterday morning's Call, and read of the sayings of Professor Ross at a political meeting (for it was noth- ing else) and realize that a professor of the Leland Stanford Jr. Uniyersity, who ! should prize the opportunities given him to distinguish himself among his students by the high and noble manner of his life and teachings to them, thus steps aside and out of his proper sphere to asso- clate himse!f with the political dema- . gogues of San Francisco, exciting their | evil passions and drawing distinctions be- | tween man and man-a.. laborers, and equal in the sight of God—and literally plays into the hands of the lowest and vilest elements of socialism, I am grieved | to the depths of my heart. I must con- fess T am weary of Professor Ros: mix- ing in political affairs. and I think he | ought not to be retained at Stanford Uni- | versity. He once before overstepped the bounds of propriety. Stanford University fs not a political machine; nor should a professor of that college ever presume to get up before a political organization and air his prejudices and his preferences. God forbld that Stanford University should ever favor soclalism of any kind. Each man has the right as a yrivate citi- zen to vote and believe as he may choose, but no professor has tlie right to use the influence of his position as Professor Ross has done: nor to get up on the ros- trum and pander to the baser elements of prejudice. I thought that when Pro- fessor Ross was taken back and resumed his former position at the university he had learned a lesson he would never for- get, and I think he should now be dis- y husband, as vou know, was an ardent partisan of the Republican party, but never for one moment did he ingend or expect that the university would iff any | way favor Republicanism_or Democracy, |any more than it would favor the | Catholic, Methodist or any other church, i “This movement, which has but just | | commenced against the immigration of Japanese :to our country, will, in a few months, have assumed very serious pro- 1t is but a repetition of the old against the Chinese, and a {earnylsm.,” when a reign of | terror d our city, and no one | knows of it better than I, for we had a | guara, armed. in our house to protect us, and a squad of police surrounded our house to prevent it from being burned. | At that time this said ‘Kearny,’ the leadef , was sustained by just such car- and within two years after he, h his followers, became the most ar- dent, devoted and loyal friends to my hus- band: and In my prescnce said that Mr. arguments had convinced him been 'pursuing an unjust portions. | prejudice | repetition of e e account referred to consisted of but ort paragraph and, in conclusion, quoted Professor Ross as saying: “And | should the worst come to the worst it would be better for us if we were to turn our guns upon every vessel bringing Japanese to our shores rather than to per- mit them to land.” I do not know what | Protessor Ross meant, but he knew he was addressing an assemblage composed large- 1y of uneducated people not familiar with { the use of such terms in any figurative sense and many of whom had doubtless followed more than one leader, who, to the shame and universal discredit of our State and people, openly counseled | solution of the Chinese problsm by vio- lence and revolution rather than by legal regulations, A person cannot complain if he is misunderstood by reporters or | others in the use of incendlary or an- archistic language intended to have ' a slightly different meaning. From subsequent developments, I be- tieve neither President Jordan nor Pro- fessor Ross looked up the report in The Call, but read a_manuscript copy of the address which, 1 have since been told, did not contain the language referred to, 50 that neither one seems to have known or understood the special point of my reference The teaching of violence is in con- sistent 1th the Founding Grant, which provides *“The nature, object and purposes of the institution hereby founded, to be: ¢ % * {ts purposes to promote the public welfare by exercising an influence in behalf of humanity and civilization, ‘eaching the blessings of liberty regulated by law, and inculcating love and rever- ence for the great principles of govern- ment as derived from the inalienable rights of man to life, liberty and the pur- sult of happiness.” ! PUBLIC OWNERSHIP LECTURE IN OAKLAND IS NOT CRITICIZED HE other public speech referred to by Professor Ross was on the sub- ject, *The Twentleth Century City.” Concerning these speeches, Professor Roess made the following statément upon kis resignation: My coolle immigration speech is not my sole effense. Last April I complied with ! an invitation from the Unitarian church of Oakland to lecture before them on “The Twentieth Century City.’ I address- | ed myself almost wholly to questions of | city growth and city health and touched only incidentally on the matter of public | utilities, I pointed out, however, the | drift, both here and abroad, toward the municipal ownership of water and gas works and predicted that, as gegards street rallways, American cities = would probably pass through a perfod of muni- cipal ownership and then revert to private ownership under regulation. My remarks were general in character and, of course, I took no stand on local questions. Only months of special investigation could en- able me to say whether a particular city Ilke @akland or San Francisco could bet- ter itself by supplying its own water or ‘ht. Yet this lecture was objected to.” How, then, could Professor Ross imag- ine that any one should object so strongly to his Oakland speech, because of the views expressed, that it showld constitute a cause of dismissal? As street railways are the only public utilities in which 1 was interested, and that only as founder of the university, how could he have, thought that I could have objected to his' views against the success of public own- ership of street railroads? Dr. Ross either means that I criticized his speech because he believed publie ownership of street railways would prove to be a failure or because I opposed pri- vate ownership under public control, as iz the case of all other rallroads under .the Rallroad Commission. Even if street railroads and all other public city wutii- ities are not now subject to public con- trol, should the public wish to exercise it, the experience of the railroads under such control has been uniformly satisfactory to them, as a reasonable income is guar- anteed to them by law. It is true that this Oakland speech was i credibly represented as and belleved to bé of a partisan character and that it contained incendiary language, although it was never referred to by me until after the | Her Position in Ross Affair may have laid up for themselves SUCh'jiceif to partisanism and even to danger- . S 1 read the account in the morning Call of the speech upon Oriental immigration, and then only incidentally. On May 17, 1900, I wrote Dr. Jordan that “There is a very deep and bitter feeling of indigna- tion throughout the community, and I am made to feel it in vasous ways, ex- pressed and unexpressed, and in bitter form, that Stanford.University is lending ous socialism; or in fact, to any questions outside of the regular prescribed course of instruction which the students are ex- pécted to receive from their professors.” Referring to the time of delivery of the Oakland speech, T said, “I did not men- tion it at that time, aithough I knew of it, having read of it in the papers, and was Informed through no one conected with the rallfoad company, but by some of our leading conservative citizens who are in sympathy and deeply interested in the future of the university and alive to the dangerous tendencies, which fn time will rebound and reflect against us all.” Of course these criticists were express- ed upon the assumption that the lan- guage and conduct of Dr, Ross had been as represented in the newspapers and re- ported to me, although my private opin- ion as to the fitness of Dr. Ross was fully formed prior to and independently of these speeches. They were expressed to the president in the hope that they would constitute a basis for a similar opipion in his mind. bsequently, while I was in Europe and before the acceptance of the resig- nation of Dr. Ross by the president, Dr. Jordan informed me by letter that Pro- fessor Ross had “proved” to him ‘‘con- clusively that nothing of the sort alleged was cver said by him,” and that the re- port of one of the daily newspapers to which reference had been made “‘was a pure forgery.” Dr. Jordan added: “Every one who speaks in public suffers from thig sort of thing, either careless mis- reporting or clsc deliberate falsification.” The truth of this positive and complete denial was not questioned but tacitly ac- cepted by me, and removed the criticlsms of this speech from further consideration. On May 26, 190, Dr. Jordan wrote me that he proposed to reappoint Professor Ross upon the following terms: “1. That 1 (Dr. Jordan) reappoint him as usual, letting him go ahead with his work. “2. That he tender his resignation, to take effect at the discretion of the presi- dent., 3. That he make reasonable efforts to secure another place.” My answer was as follows: ALO ALTO, Cal., May 28, 1900. “President D. S. Jordan, Stanford Uni- versity—My Dear Friend: Your com- munication dated May 26 has received consideration. “I am in accord with you as to reap- pointing Professor Ross, as usual, let- ting him go ahead with his work: sec- ond, that Le tender his resignation to take effect at a stated time, for instance at the end of six months, which gives him an opportunity, and you an oppor- tunity, to make the change you suggest I cértainly wish to avoid, as far as pos-| sible doing anything that would prove an | injury to him or his future. “Since receiving Professor Ross' com- munication (a copy of which was sent to ¥ou) it has occurred to me that he did not know that the position he took at the time of his campaigning for Bryan, on the silver question, was objectionable. very sorry that he was not made to know at that time that he should be more course had been very severely criticized. This has aroused my sympathy for him. known the true condition of affairs this second offense might never have occurred. “JANE L.

It should have been evident to Proles- sor Ross and every one else familiar with my policy of refraining from imposing my religious, political or socioiogical views upon the university, however strong those views might , that If any error was committed it must have arisen from | misinformation or mistake of fact, and ' not from wrong principle. Had I wished to impose any such views upen the uni- versity I could have done so, since the | wer to change the nature, objocts ana purposes of the institution was absolutely | vested in me by the founding grant and | the act under which the university was founded. | In no other institution are the principles of freedom of speech, freedom of thought and freedom of conscience so thoroughly established and safeguarded as they are in the Leland Stanford Junior University. In go far as 1 criticized the utterances of | Dr. Ross, 1 was not only exercising a sa- cred right which we have guaranteed to every one connected with the institution, but I was speaking in defense of these very principles. No one can appreciate more fully than I the right to freedom of speech, for upon many occasions I have refrained with the greatest possible effort from expressing my personal views when 1 believed serfous errors were being made, lcst it might be thought that I was at- tempting to impose those Views upon the university. > 1 believe that professors and others con- nected with the university must feei un- der similar restraint, lest the proper ex- pression of their private views be miscon- strued. 1 hope that this feeling may bve dispelled so far as possible and that such relations be established between you and the university that recommendations and criticisms may be made in a proper and orderly manner, without the fear of veing misunderstood by either president, pre- | fessors or trustees.
