ROOSEVELT MAKES REPLY.

Just before taking his departure for
Texas to join the rough riders, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, in a letter, said:
I have got about 20 Harvard men in
my regiment who are real Americans.
and this offsets the fact that there are
at Harvard two or three professors who
are not.
That is the answer he makes to the
deprecatory remarks of Professor
Charles Eliot Norton. The men of
Harvard do not get unpatriotic teach
ing, nor do those of any other Ameri-
can university. In the present war
Harvard has been made conspicuous
by reason Of Professor Norton's re-
marks, but that great seat of learning
needs no vindication; her silent dead,
left on many a battlefield. are a per-
petual testimony to the patriotism of
her sons. The grandest ode ever writ
ten by an American was written bv
James Russell Lowell, in commemora
ton Of them; and they were worthy the
tribute paid them. If there are anv
professors at Harvard who are NOT
real Americans, the deeds of those
whose names are recorded in Memorial
hall will offset their presence. Was
ever nobler tribute paid to men than
this by Lowell to the Harvard men
who fought and died for their country
in the civil war?

scarcely see the present indebtedness

an itching to handle money that COM
paratively few of them can resist the
temptation to borrow all they possibly
can under their powers, that they may
identify themselves with various ''im-

lance and prestige they could never
otherwise get. All this is too frequent

Admiral ErbeI has used persuasion
with the captains and shippers of var
ious steamships and other vessels that
run into New York to get them to keep
the designated channels and not run
over the mined field. but they have ig-
nored his appeals. Now he proposes TO
use solid shot and not to fire at their
vessels, but into them. It is the only
argument they viii heed, and it is
proper TO use it. A vessel that acts as
an enemy should be treated as one.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

New York Journal: 1t is represented
now that General Miles is opposed to an
immediate movement of the army upon
Cuba. Hitherto Mr.. Mckinley and his
cabinet of opulent Quakers have been
charged with responsibility for turning
the war into an international yacht race
Let the civil and military wings of the
administration divide the blame as they
may, the fact remains that though a
month has elapsed since the Spaniards
were ordered to leave Cuba. the Spaniards
are there yet. and a good deal better able
to resist expulsion than they were on
April q. II General Miles is averse to
aggressive action. either because he has
become infected with the spirit of Wash
ington strategy. or can't see his way
or because he is afraid OF the job, the
country can only regret his non-military
state of mind.

A Drought Resisting Plant.

The chief reason why alfalfa hay will
grow in the short grass country is that
it has long roots. They have been known
to strike IS feet deep for moisture. The
plant will not thrive, therefore, in soil
that is not open and deep. An ideal
place for its growth is along the river
bottoms in the western part of Kansas
land under which great lakes of "sheet
water" miles upon miles in extent, are
found from 10 to 25 feet below the sur
face. The roots of alfalfa readily push
down to the water and drink when they
need moisture, and the result is that
the plant blossoms and prospers and be-
comes a never failing source Of revenue
to the man who cultivates it, On the
rolling uplands, where there is scarcely
an average rainfall of rs inches year,
the plant will live and produce hay
nearly always. 1t makes good pasturage
under ordinary conditions there and is
almost certain every year to produce a
fine crop of seed All the uplands are
fertile enough, the only trouble about
making use of that fertility being the
lack of moisture. Irrigation has not yet
succeeded in bringing water in album
dance to the assistance of the tiller Of
the soil in this region, and therefore
only such a plant can live as has deep
roots and a pertinacity that even the
hot winds of Kansas cannot shake
