Gov. Rogers IS 20 be commended for his
firm stand I'm refusing 90 do anything that
would cripple the efficiency or success OK
the Pullman agricultural college. he Is
also correct when he says that for several
years desire has been uppermost in the
minds Of certain former members OF the
faculty 70 weaken the present college ad-
msFssfratson, for reasons. perhaps. best
known to themselves. But as the Post
Intelligencer secs this question, ii does not
affect the present faculty but the board
OF regents. President Bryan has made
success of the college since he has had
charge of the educational work, and he
has had with him corps Of capable assist
ants. II Is not President Bryan who
should be tried or criticised. He Is mere
~ an Official working under the instruc-
lions, so far as the expenditures go, OF the
board OF regents. The board had right
TO. and perhaps cid, ask for the advice
and counsel OF tho president. and the lat
ter no doubt did offer suggestions that re-
suited in the deficit Of about $500. bat the
board was and Is the responsible head.
and il Is alone accountable for its own
acts
The attempt Of the governor 10 shift from
the shoulders Of the regents any part Of
the responsibility. and 10 infer that it
rests on the head OF the president. is the
vsriesi folderoI The regents could be COM
PEELED TO make good the deficit. or they
could be removed without interfering in
the least with the success of the school.
Prssiden. Bryan has long ago earned the
reputation OF being an able educator.
Leave him alone. Mr.. Governor. and he

tho past IL makes no difference II few
changes arc made on the board Of regents

responsibility where 1t belongs. Hold tie

OF the college. and the president for the

The dispatches from Washington an
nounce that the cabinet, In a meeting on
Tuesday, discussed the question Of send
ting a relief ship to ST. Michael with sup
plies for the miners now in Dawson City.
1t Is to be hoped. for the credit OF the cabi-
net, that this Is blunder OF the press rep
reseutative. and that the cabinet had a
more intelligent idea Of the situation they
were discussing. There Is not and there
will not be any lack of supplies al ST. Mi

supplies from ST. Michael to Dawson. a
distance of 1850 miles, and 1t Is for the
solution of this problem that government

The citizens Of the United States OF for

the citizens Of native birth In promoting

migration arises chiefly from the apprecia-

the great advantage the nation has de-
