Mount Dajo.

How much OF the racket about tho
hendishness Of the American soldiers IN
the engagement at Mount Dajo Is due IN
the fact that General Leonard Wood was
in command is question. The name of
that officer exercises for some reason a
strange Influence on certain people. Thev
seem willing to accept, and even to ad-
vance, nearly any sort of charge To bis
prejudice. While he was In command In
Cuba he was accused OF serious msfan-
duct of one Kind and anether-of iea,opsv
of his superiors, OF a disposition to claim
credit for performances not his own. and
of accepting presents from people with
whom he had had official dealings. His
enemies were very active and aggressive.
but they failed. Neither the President nor
the country withdrew confidence In him,
and in time he was promoted and assigned
to the Philippines.
The fayorlte Indictment of General Wood
is that he is not soldier, but only a pet
of his friend in the White House. A pleas
antry is TO refer to him as Or" Wood
and there always follows the suggestion
that he is at his best when prescribing
pills. or handling the lancet. So that we

Parker and Mcclellan.

Mayor Mcclellan is a little '.jubus'' about
the reported nomination of him for Presi-
dent by Judge Parker In Mississippi He
should be- Judge Parker was on a jollying
errand, and talked in an easy fashion about
men and things. Doubtless he feels very
friendly toward the mayor, and all that, but
there seems small warrant now for bring
ing forward the mayors name in connection
with the presidency. Six months ago such
speculation was rather persuasive. At that
time the mayor expected reelection by sixty
or eighty thousand az against a dfsorgan-
lied opposition. But his campaign went to
pieces. ard 1t was necessary to count him
in He had therefore but doubtful major
ity Of some four thousand as against claim
that Mr.. Hearst had really carried the town
by over twenty thousand. Why therefore
talk seriously Of Mr.. Mcclellan for Presi-
dent In 1865?

A National Educational Center.

George Washingtons ideal of a great ma
tional center of learning established at the
seat OF government, Is rapidly assuming
definite form in realization. Steadily for
number of years educators of all parts Of
the country and all shades Of opinion on
other matters have been coming to the
point of agreement that here in the District
of Columbia are the conditions which In
wife and permit the development of a truly
American school Of the highest grade. Ii
any doubt fingers on this score, 1t should
be dispelled by the faith In the future of
the George Washington University as
truly American institution displayed last
evening at the banquet of the alumni of
that great and growing establishment. The
spirit of nationality was in the air.
All the speakers, who included the French
ambassador, NJ. Jusserand: DIR. Andrew b,
White, former president of Cornell Uni
versity; Speaker Cannon. DIR. Richard p.
Ely of the University of Wisconsin and DR..
Needham. president of the George Wash
ington University, sounded the note of the
execution of the first Presidents wish.
They approached the subject from diff
ferent points of view but there was
no faltering in their belief that here at the
seat of government would grow into being
others and performing Its particular func-
ton as the exemplar of the highest patriot
ism.
DR.. White laid stress upon the need of de-
veloping here an esta blshment not only to
contribute TO the intellectual atmosphere
which should envelop Congress in it's delb
eratons and tho executive departments in
their administration OF affairs. but to afford
a common meeting ground for representa-
tives of the two great sections of the couu-
try, which, he fears. are still divided by
line of cleavage. In this respect Washing
ton is ideal. Here meet the men OF many
minds and from many lands who are en-
gagged in the work of nations Here are
learned best the lessons of mutual forbear
ance and compromise and adjustment.
Here is the true American field for ac
quainting with each other the peoples Of
the various sections. Here, indeed, is the
exceptional opportunity for the blending
together into distinct type of American
Ism all the best there is of the various
ccmponents of our population. From
Washington, equipped with a great seat OF
learning without limitations should flow
the influences making for the solution OF
the serious problems which beset the coun-
try.
The start that has been made IS encour-
aging. The materials here at hand are re-
markable in their richness The time Is
ripe for the advancement, and it is inspir-
ing to realize how far the idea of uni
versity based upon the broad, patriotic.
constructive foundation of George Wash
ington's ideal has been carried. The day
is not far distant when the District of Co.
lumbia Will be universally recognized

Samuel Hay Kaufman.

Samuel Hay Kaufman, president of The
Evening Star Newspaper Company, died in
this city today after an illness covering
about two years. Although prepared for
the end by late reports of the steady failure
OF his strength, Mr.. KauTmann's friends and
business associates are profoundly shocked
by this announcement. so grievous is the
loss entailed, so deep is the sorrow which
Il causes. For thirty-nine years member
OF this company and for nearly twenty
years its president, Mr.. Kaufman has so
grown into the hearts of those with whom
lie worked and those who worked under his
direction that 1t is difficult in this hour Of
Bereavement to put Into words the feelings
evoked by his death. A man of highest
character. true to the loftiest principles of
life. scrupulous,y honorable in all dealings,
the smallest and the largest alike; kindly
OF nature, thoughtful in an exceptional de-
gree of the comfort and the desires and the
welfare of others, generous in lending his
aid to all worthy objects, unsparing OF his
strength In the years OF his health for the
furtherance of not only the business of The
Star but the prosperity OF the community,
Mr.. kauffmann's death leaves vacant a
place which cannot be filed.
Mr.. Kaufman was endowed with the
qualities which make for success in any
field of endeavor, both as man OF bust
ness action and as a man of thought.
al Ia ha-
come acquainted through travel with
all parts OF the world. He had read widely
and deeply. He was a lover of the best in
literature and art. His work as a trustee
and later as president of the Corcoran GAL
lery has contributed to the culture Of the
capital in a degree perhaps today unrealized
by most citizens. He always wrought and
fought for the full development of Washing
ton the beautiful. He chafed at times under
the restraint OF delay imposed by the slow
processes of legislation. He would have
had the seat of government attain speedily
TO its proper stature as one of the worlds
most attractive and significant cities. He
believed in It's possibilities. He stood for
tie tNbiuliOu Oh the DSlflcJ as a seat or
learning, of art. of science. of every form of
intellectual endeavor. In his modest, retir-
Ing way, he was constant force for the
attainment OF the ideal OF the capital
founders. His life was actively con-
structive, and the city contains today sew
erai monuments to his activity and public
spirit in the past years. although his name
may not be blazoned upon them.
1t is impossible fully to express the sense
OF loss felt by those who were closely as
ISOLATED with Mr.. Kaufman through the
years of his connection with The Star. He
was the personal friend of all. a wise coun-
sellor and willing helper. He was loved
as well respected
Thus passes one who wrought always for
the good of his fellow men, one who was
just and true, a man of heart and a man
OF mind, dear companion whose corarade
ship was an Inspiration and whose exampIe
Is now a helpful memory.

The New Mark Of Distinction.
From the Wall street Journal

from the WaI Street J0urnaI.
The uprising OF the people which has
taken place is conspicuous proof that the
heart of the people Is sound and that men
of character and capability are asserting
themselves. Mere wealth Is no longer a
mark of high distinction unless 1t is accom-
panied by personal character and willing
ness to use that wealth for the public sery-
ice. On the other hand. tainted wealth has
become thoroughly disreputabie so as to
bring the possessor of 1t no adequate salts

THE ATCHAFALAYA
BAY CHANNEL
Another Favorable Report is Made by Oaney T.
Wadde|, Civil Engineers.
Il is Within the Range Of Possibilities for Morgan City to
be Made the Second Port Of Entry Of the Gulf

to anticipate the formation OF a
bar at the gulf end, because it
would seem that if the river does
not silt up the bay, it certainly
VIII not silt up the gulf. 1t is
probable that temporary bar
will form outside from securing
of the proposed channel but,
when an equilibrium has been
once established between the
volums of current and the size
of channel as has already been
done in the river itself, the bar
will give no further trouble.
The cost should not be over $3.50,
600, and if it can be done with
IN hydraulic dredge, as it is
almost certain, should not be
more than half that amount.
Here then we have magnifi-
cent section of country, rich in
agricultural and lumber products.
with hundreds of miles of naviga-
bic inland waterways, all leading
to the Atchafalaya Harbor
through lands as fertile as any
on earth. and this harbOr and
deep, second IN size only to that
of New Orleans on the gulf, with
permanent banks and stable
bottom, with practically an un-
varying water level, aud this a
perfectly useless harbOr, the
gateway to marvellous system OF
useless waterways, all waiting
for the energetic hand of man
to convert them into teeming
arteries of commerce.
This useless hardOr aud these
useless streams can by the ex-
pend,ture Of a few dollars be
made the means of regenerating
this fair land, which IN now at
the mercy of a single merciless
railroad
Will it be done? The achieve
ment of those in charge at Gulf
port is an augury that it will.
At that port channel 3OO
feet wide and seven miles long
and a harbor or basin one half
by hree-quarters Of mile III
extent, has been dredged and a
fine barbOr created where there
was none.
1t Is probable that had an
