striving to foster throughout the United
States The city should be filled with lust

Interesting to visitors to be shown great
elms or oaks or naples as personal relics
OF departed statesmen. just as the giant
elm in the Capitol grounds is today known
as the Sumner tree. and as tourists to the
grave of Washington are shown the tree
which was planted there by the Prince of
w dleS. row the King of England on the
occasion of his visit. Had the love of trees
been more Systematically cultivated in the
early decades of Washington's DEVELOPMENT
there would today be scores or hundreds
OF such historic growthS in the parks and
the city's attractiveness would be infinitely
increased 1t is never too late to begin
tree planting Yesterdays exercises were

taking thought thus in advance for the
sake of posterity perhaps some of the self
seeking impetuous progress of the period
may be tempered. Thistree thought should
form subject for the consideration of the

of the nation through the identification of
their most stately occupants with the

Harvard and the President.

From the New York Tribune.
1t probably makes very little difference to
President Mckinley whether or not Har-
ward University makes him a doctor of
laws at the coming commencement. A de-
gree from that institution would be a COM
pliment that any man might properly ap-
preciate. But it cannot be said that it
would add especially to the fame of Will
lam Mckinley or that the lack of it would
consiSn his name to oblivion. 1t may be
doubted if the student of fifty years hence
in estimating Mr.. McKinley's character and
achievements would attach the slightest
Importance to the fact that Harvard Uni
versity in 1901 gave him the degree or neg
lected to give it. man who has been
twice elected President of the United
States. who served for many years in Con-
gress, who has received honorary degrees
from universities not less eminent than
Harvard. Is neither to be made nor marred
by question Of three letters after his
name. Harvard is perfectly free to grant
or withhold it's degree without giving any
body, least of all the President, reaso- to
be sorrowful or even hurt, and the contro-
versy which has sprung up is chiefly inter-
estlng. not as 1t concerns the President.
but as it reveals the spirit of certain Har-
ward men toward those with whom they do
not politically agree.

II is but fair to assume that the Hon
William Sulzer and those who take their
readings of international law from him are
following closely the details of the floating
of the new British war loan. There Is a
very Dat text in the matter from their
viewpoint for another howl about the vio-
latfon of neutrality obligations The bid
ding has been lively. The loan. indeed. Will
be a big success Investors everywhere
have shown an eagerness for paper when
has So much security behind it. Americans
have been allotted large block, and the
cable states that applications on French
account were considerable.
Applications from France for part of
this loan? Isn't France neutral as between
the British and the Beers? But if her peo-
pie were In position openly to take sides
would they not take the side of the Beers?
Wasn't the reception accorded by them TO
MIR. Kruger of the most enthusiastic de-
scription? What sort of talk is this. there
fore. about applications on French ac-
count for part of this loan. when the
money is to be expended by Great Britain
in further operations against the Beers?
Is that neutrality? On the contrary. is it
not openly aiding and abetting Great Brit
ain? Is not. indeed. money in such crcum-
stances and for such purposes contraband
of war?
And what right has even Pierpont Nor
gan. who seems to be so heavily loaded
with money that he is able to take flyer
in everything. to go to the aid of Great
Britain in this way? The temptation from
the purely sordid viewpoint, is, may
admit. very strong But should he be per
mitted to embrace it? Does not the United
States pretend to be neutral as between
the British and the Beers? And shall any
citizen of this country. simply for the pur-
pose of forwarding his own personal for
tunes. lend money to Great Britain to finish
up her very difficult job in South Africa?
The decision of Judge Parlange at New Or
leans in the mule case would appear to
cover the point and to permit the invest
me mt but that has been received with such
disfavor by the Sulzerites it may be ad-
visable tn go into the whole question again.
Money is everything to Great Britain at
this time 1t will buy mules. ammunition,
rifles. cannon, foodstuffs; will pay off men
enlist. Stop her supplies. and you paralyze
her fighting arm. Help increase them and
You strengthen her for what is still before
her in South Africa Should capitalists in
any neutral country therefore be permitted
to take her paper and refill her strong box?
4" repeat the question. is not money in
such a case contraband of war? One could
wish to hear Mr. Sulzer argue this point
somewhere before full bench

From Golfers Weekly.

April has always been feared in Havana
and our gulf ports because it was the be-
ginning of the yellow fever season This
year. the first year In the history of Ha-
vana. April has come and without 1t the
fever. This immunity is due entirely to
the efficient sanitary regulations of the
military authorities of Havana reinforced
by the magnificent work of the marine hos
pital service. which has been brought to
such state of marked perfection under
the direction Of its present chief, Surgeon
General Wyman. Yellow fever fourishes
where there is filth. Disregard of the
most ordinary sanitary precautions and
neglect of the common rules of cleanliness
will, in certain climates. SOW the seeds of
yellow fever. Plenty of fresh air. an abun-
dance of clean water, liberal supply of
soap freely used and the prompt removal
of all decaying matter are the only reme-
dies. These the American authorities have
used. They have taught the Cubans to
keep themselves and their city clean, with
the gratifying result that yellow fever has
been practically banished from Cuba.

II is 10 De regretted tilat the IfSI re-
sponse of the opposition to Senator Nc
Laurin's appeal to the democracy of South
Carolina for a broader view of political
questions should be coarse personal at
tack on that gentleman. His colleague,
MIR. Tillman. makes this, and evidently in
tends to lower the campaign if he can to
that level. The old note of bullying intol-
erance is plainly sounded. The real issues
are all brushed aside, and the vocabulary
of vituperaton is freely drawn upon. 1t
is the old, old policy of allowing nothing of
merit to the man who differs with you.
He must be put down at all hazards. 1t
is not enough to show that he is wrong,
brought also to know that he is a public
enemy, a liar. and horse thief. That is
the way to secure attention at the picnic
and the barbecue. and stir up the feelings
of the machine workers
Mr.. McLaurin asks his people to consider
if upon the whole certain policies now
championed and being administered by the
republican party are not better for the
south and the whole country than would
be the policies bearing upon the same
questions proposed by the democracy. Mr..
Tillman replies with swagger that Mr..
McLaurin has betrayed the people who
commissioned him senator. Mr.. McLaurin
reminds his people that they cannot afford
to live in the past: that the procession is
moving, and that their place properly is
at the head of it. Mr.. Tllman replies that
he has blushed for his state-positiyely
blushed-on account of his colleague. and
intimates that South Carolina owes it to
him. Tillman, to give him a colleague who
will not send the blood racing into his
face. Great argument! Great man!
And yet we may hope for better things
The legislature which will choose Mr. Nc
Laurin's successor in the Senate will not
be elected until next year, and meanwhile
Mr. McLaurin's appeal may set the peo-
pie to thinking. 1t is already reinforced by
the Endorsement of ex-senator Butler of
that state, who In an interview praises
Mr.. McLaurin for the stand he has taken
and cordially wishes him success. Among
other things General Butler said respecting
the situation in South Carolina:
What is wanted there above all things
| is a greater liberation for those honestly
differing with US in political opinion-great-
er political freedom of action L find We
nave passed the point where the white
people from necessity were arrayed on one
side to protect their civilization with the
negro race on the other, and can now af-
ford to divide on paramount political is
sues. as in other states. Nothing
could be of more advantage to the state
politically and commercially. than the or
ganlZation of an active, respectable oppo-
sition to the present political organization
OF the state 1t would insure better men
for office and better administration of the
laws.
This is the deliverance of a man who
stands for the best blood and the highest
culture of the palmetto state. He and
General Hampton were for many years
senators in Congress from South Carolina,
and the commonwealth was never better
represented than by them. The progress

and Tillman is the progress of cows

April Inclemency.

Pretty soon, pretty soon.
We will sing the same old tune
Of the summer with it's superheated glare.
And well waste our hard-earned dollars
On our whiting cuffs and collars,
While the weather prophets drive us to
despair.
We will hear the locusts humming
And the bullfrogs harshly drumming
And we'll VOW there's heat in yonder pallid
moon;
We will lift the chant together
And Well beg for winter weather,
Pretty soon.
Never mind, never mind,
If the season seems unkind
And we find that we are threatened with
the grip.
You find new germs awaiting
With a greed unhesitating,
No matter how you give them all the slip.
So We'll let old winter linger
And we'n point no scornful finger
At the fierce erratic weather which we find.
Twill seem blessed, when departed,
So We'll still be happyhearted-
Never mind.
