THE OLD TROUBLE AT THE UNivER
SlTY

It seems from all indications that the
old trouble at the university between
the faculty and the president is crop
ping out again under DR.. Raymond
and that the friction is of the same
nature as that which existed so long
between President Turner and the pro-
fessors
During this old trouble which finally
eliminated in the severance of DR..
Turner's connection with the univer-
sity, the Register maintained that the
friction between the president and the
faculty would never cease so long as
the president was a mere figurehead
and without authority over his faculty
to punish INSTRUMENTATION by dismissal
And the experience of the institution
has since amply proven the correctness
of the Registers position at that time.
The faculty and their partisans
claimed that the trouble was with DR..
Turner and that everything would go
DR.. Turner was removed and has not
been connected with the university
for five years, yet we see exactly the
same old trouble cropping out between
the new president and the faculty that
existed between DR.. Turner and his
professors. The friction is even more
marked and the feeling more bitter.
From a private letter from gentle
man especially well informed on the
subject we gather that the same me-
thods used to GUST Dr. Turner five
years ago are now being used against
DR. Raymond, and the boast was
made recently that this faculty
has never failed to get a man when
they went after him and we will get
DR. Raymond
This is evidence of the status of af-
fairs between the faculty and Dr. Ray
mond. It is the same deplorable con-

A SCREW LOOSE SOMEWHERE.

The examinations and recriminations
and accusations and denials flying thick
and fast between the medical depart
ment of the army and General Shafter
and his subordinates as regards the re-
sponsibility for the condition of the
Santiago army are evidence there has
been great negligence somewhere and
that there is wide field for investiga-
tion by the President. The RESPONSE
bility for the fearful mismanagement
and horrible unsanitation of the San
tiago army camps resulting in many
needless deaths of our brave soldiers
certainly ought to be placed and the
American people will not rest until it
is placed. This is a matter that can
not be suppressed, and the sooner it is
made the subject of official investiga-
ton the sooner a very ugly affair will
be disposed Of
Our soldiers were forced to fight on
half rations. Sick and wounded prac-
tically unattended Were sent north on
filthy pest ships with unfit food and
putrid water. The army was needless
ly exposed to yellow fever and other
diseases until at least seventy per
cent were unfit for duty
Who was, or who were, responsible?
This question must be answered.
1t is whispered, however, that there
is disposition at Washington to hush
up the matter and stop investigation
The Secretary of War and the Presi-
dent, himself, it is said, are desirable
of having no trouble and of averting an
expose.
WHY?
Are Secretary Alger and President
Mckinley fearful of the result of an in
vestigation which might expose the
fact that the responsibility for the ter
rible condition of our Santiago army
begins with themselves for appointing
incompetent personal and political
favorites and sons of somebodies to re-
sponsible positions in the commissary
department? For it is certain an inves-
tigation of that department could not
go very far without running up against
an incompetent favorite or son of some
body appointed regardless of fitness to
please some friend or political bench
man of the President or pay off some
political debt
Is investigation to be suppressed or
is there TO be a general whitewashing
regardless of the demands of discipline
or the future welfare of the army or
of justice to the outraged soldiers?
The administration would best be-
ware of trfiing with the people in this
matter. They demand to know the
truth and they have a right to know it.
1t will go i'll with the administration
if this demand is deliberately ignored

Ever since his graduation from the

McGraw has been prominent in the le-

public-spirited in high degree, he
of West Virginia, and now stands as
one of her leading and representative
citizens and public men. Identified
with her development and leader in
her business ard industrial life the
interests of the State and her people
are the interests of Mr.. McGraw, and
the people Of the Second district may
cast their ballots for him at The com
ing election with full confidence that
if elected he will represent their inter-
ests in Congress with thorough knowi-
edge and with the sterling ability and
vigorous determination we all know
him to possess in a high degree
Mr.. McGraw is a young man-an-
other point in his favor in these
days when young blood is needed
at the front-and thoroughly wide
awake and up-to-date, although
a conservative Democrat of the
good old school, As a cam
paigner he is interchangeable and elo-
Quent, and as manager shrewd and
long-headed. Intimately acquainted
all over the State, he is especially
popular in his own district, where he
is best known.
1t is time the important interests of
the Second district were represented
in Congress by an able, wide-awake
and representative Democrat, and
better or more capable one could not
be found throughout it's length and
breadth than John I. McGraw. whose
election the Register confidently pre-
diets.

dition that kept this institution dtvid-
ed against itself SO long and to its
serious detriment in the past, and it
springs from the same cause. namely,
conflict OF authority. The president
of the university has no authority over
the professors, who may practically
do what they please to discourage and
annoy him and discredit him before
the Board OF Regents. The Regents
are not in a position to directly man
age the institution or to have direct
knowledge of its affairs, since they
are not resident at the university and
meet but once year. The only prac-
teal way out Of the difficulty, there
fore, is to give the president full ex-
ecutive power, which the official mead
of the university certainly should
possess and make him responsible to
no one but the Board of Regents. If
the president is not capable of exer-
cising such authority, that is another
matter, and man should be selected
as president of the university who is
capable
lit certainly is high time some
change were made in the management
of this most important state institu-
ton of learning. It's maintenance

siderable and they are entitled to the
hest possible service. 1t is unjust to
the people, unjust to the students, I'M

f&irs of the university to drift along

General Merritt will have force

be awaited as it will take at least
that length of time to get new
transports in readiness to carry

The engagement at Malate In the
Philippines shows that Spaniards
can't drive Americans out of entrench-
ments. They can't whip Americans
under any conditions, or on land or

cans can whip Spaniards wherever, or
however they find them. The war
has proven that much.
