Harvard Professor Calls Grover Cleveland a
mad Pres i,lput"

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan. l0-Harvard's
professor, through the Crimson pub
lish two replies to Theodore Rooscvelt's :
| recent lctter-one by Professor James. of
the philosophical department. and tho
| other by J. Is Warner, of the class of 80.
a prominent Boston lawyer Roosevelt
| sent letter to Harvard graduates taking
strong ground for the support OF the Olncy
doctrine. scoring England as "grabhcr."
| etc. and calling on the students to resent
and oppose the views of the professors
which by large majority are opposed to
| the Cleveland Interpretation of the Mon
| roe doctrine. Professor James says: Mr.
Cleveland suddenly sends u message to-
congress asking for "a commission upon
whose report he Is to say to England:
Back down or fight Mr. Olncy adds n
letter To Lord Salisbury, saying that En-
| gland, presence on this continent is 4
menace and an ofTcnsc.
| Congress and large part of our news

presumed tn beg Ou- congressman 10 slow

| in Mr.. Roosevelt eyes, and though a mad
president may any day commit the coun-
| try To an utterly new career and history,
| no citizen, no matter how he feels must
| then spcak-not even to the representative
constitutionally appointed to check the
president in the time OF need.
| May / express a hope that in this uni.
versity We shall be patriotic enough not
| to remain passive while the dcstinics of
| our country are being settled by surprise?
Let us be for or against, and If against,
then against by every means in our power.
when "a policy is taking shape that is
| bound to alter all the national ideals that
we have cultivated hitherto. Men AT the
| student age arc easily swaycd by praises
/ But trust that no catchwords or nick
names will deter Harvard students from
| beginning the fight just at this point and
| doing what little they can toward bring
| ing the threatened increase OF armament
| to naught.'
| Warner refers to RooScvelt's statement
in these words: "Thc United States. which
has been only half aware that there was
any Venezuela question. has suddenly been
startled by an Ultimatum demand made
upon the country with which we have the
closest ties of interest and sympathy, and
this coupled with an explicit threat of
war. For three weeks thinking men have
| talked Of nothing else, and there has been
| no stint of outspoken criticism. Unless
Mr.. Roosevelt has it on hand to go on and
shut up the press, the pulpit, the market
place, and the clubs, ii can hardly be
worth his while to begin by muzzling this
university"

Hopeful of the Success of the Proposed
Popular Sale Of Bonds


KANSAS CITY. Jan. 1O.-The Journal re.
wives the recent stories of attempts being
made to corner the output of western gold
mines, and asserts that through business
transactions OF the Wells-Fargo company
1t has developed that agents OF the Roths-
childs have secured contracts with the
mine owners Of Cripple Creek under
which most Of the gold taken from the
mines there during the coming year will
go into the Golfers of the bankers. 1t is
stated that a few months ago the express
company experienced n great falling off in
its revenues, due to sudden cessation OF
gold shipments from the smelters at
Denver, Pueblo and other western cities.
Says the Information Is Authentic.
The company sent its general agent
here, Mr. Amador Andrews, to Colorado
to see whether the business could not be
recovered. Andrews ascertained, it is
claimed, that such contracts had been
made between the miners and smelters
and the bankers, and that the output of
many of the gold mines was being regu.
larly stopped in the western cities. An.
drcws refuses to confirm this statement.
but The journal asserts that the informa.
tion leaked out through authentic sources.
