To-M0RRow's RACE.

A number of newspapers, The Jour ral-Courier among them, looked ask ance at the recent decision of the Har- ward faculty to suspend a member of the Harvard varsity crew and a mem Der of the varsity rowing squad for a violation of the letter of very minor faculty rule ac to the removal of cer- tain books from the library at Cam bridge. With it's usual triteness, the New York Evening Post has called upon the Harvard faculty to suspend its suspension" and. in view of the fact that the punishment seemed to be all out of proportion to the deed done, that seeemed to be the only fair-mlnded at- ltitude 10 take.
 Acting as a private citizen and q Igraduate of Harvard, President Roose welt is said to have been carrying on q correspondence with President Eliot. Iof Harvard. with the view of persuad- ing the Harvard faculty. if possible, to reconsider its action and to reseat the irowers in their shells. The Hartford Times at once crticlzes the Presidents action, saying that he Is meddling in too many matters outside the White Houee, from the nations birthrate to spelling reforms. The Springfield Re- publican says 1t does not see how the l President, wko punished the negro soldiers at Brownsville and Colonel Stewart can object to the severity of the punishment.
 But, even if the affair is really Har- wards Brownsville and even if Presi- dent Roosevelt, as a prvate citizen and Harvards most eminent graduate. may be justified in bringing his influence to bear with the Harvard authorities to bring a reconsideration about, still the rcseating oi Oarsman Morgan Tn the Harvard shell at this late date might prove a worse move than to do with out him altogether. The last week or so of rowing is the most important and to upset the seating now would be a questionable proceeding, even looked al through Harvard eyes.
 It may rebound to Harvard's credi
 that, with Morgan out of the boat, hei
 crew has been doing some wonderful
 rowing during the last few days O
 practice. If Harvard wins now. i
 should prove double victory. Ger
 tanly nothing could please the Harvart
 contingent better But the Yale boy,
 are lon the way and under the eye
 of Big Bill they may be expected t
 do thing or two. May the day b
 fair and, above all, may the best crey
 win.

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS.

There is some reason to believe that the reported accident to the train In which Presidential Nominee Taft was hastenng Co New Haven the other day was, like the famous report that Mark Twain was dead, much exag- gerated." Fellow Yale collegians, who were in the train with Mir, Taft coming to their reunions, say the ac- eident read much more seriously In the papers than 1t happened in real life. But, be that as 1t may, the acci- dent might have been serious; indeed, t might have resulted in MT. Taft's death--no very pleasant matter to suggest, with him at present Yales and New Haven's guest, yet one which It is well for the country to consider.
 The Hartford Courant brings up the idea. It reviews the history of Amer ican politics and shows how such q contingency has not happened since the institution of the national con vention plan. The nearest similar case Is that of Horace Greeley de- feated democratic nominee. who died before the meeting of the electora college and caused the democrats nc little indecision as to what to do, some of them even casting their electora votes for him when dead.
 The Courant believes, and rightly that, had Mir. Taft been killed, the re, publican national committee would have called arother national conven ton, But let 1t be supposed that tho nominee should die so shortly befor, the November election that the calling of another convention would be i'm practical or impossible. Even did tn, convention meet at that late date ant nominate another man for president 1t Is not improbable that the repub lican party would lose many votes A voter will not have a name suggest ed to him one day and have his mint entirely made up as to that man qualifications the next day. He want time to think 1t over.
 If, then, 1t could be generally un derstood that, in the event of tn death of the presidential nominee tn vice presidential nominee would sue ceed him, the tendency could not b other than to raise the importance 0 the vice presidential nomination which is thing to be desired, an to secure for that position every cleo ton time men only Of presidential cal iber. If such a plan were adopted 1t would be well for each conventio to elect an alternate vice presidentit nominee, whose name could be pr actively on the ticket in such an ever as has been suggested.

General Luke Wright. (sprlnRl1eld Rpui,blirau l


 General Luke Wright's appointment to succeed Taft at the head of the war department is partly sentimental. He has followed in Tafts footsteps from the Philippines into the cabinet, and can i'll as no other man could the y1i- cancy created there. But the appoint ment Is largely practical, nevertheless. He has original claims to fitness of his own. He was Confederate soldier, though yet only sixty one. His ap- pontmcnt expresses anew Roosevelt 5 desire to barmonize the sections He Is affectionately regarded also by the army. The colored race regards him as a proved friend, He Is a lawyer and in all these respects well trained to per form the exacting duties of the cabin ct department which directs and con- trols the wide field over which Secre tary Taft has extended its authority It Is hinted that If elected Taft will be likely to continue General Wright in the cabinet.

A GUARDsMAN SHOT.

The report now is that a member of the National Guard of this state has been seriously injured as a result of the mimic war maneuvers being conducted at various points about the country. The young man enlisted from Norwich and his company was sent to Plum Island some ten days or more ago to encamp there with the regulars. The story goes that the boys at camp were given loaded shells for their Springfield rifles when on duty at night and that they were instruct ed to shoot if necessary. The young man, Theodore J. Morrison by name, went to a dance and on returning to his tent was shot by member of his own company. The captain of the company, evidently wishing to keep the unfortunate accident dark did not take the boy to New London at once to be treated but took him, after con siderable delay, by a slow train to Norwich. He suffered infinite tortures on the way, there to be treated by \ private physician at the young mans own expense The bullet is said to have been in the young mans thigh for fourteen hours.
 After two men of the New York National Guard were killed by a fare i back at Fort Wadsworth during the mimic war maneuvers there, this pa per suggested that the seriousness of the affair would be brought home to us much more if the victims were from this state Now 1t has been i brought home to us and the time has come to raise serious objection. What need there is for sentries at a camp in time of peace to carry loaded shells, 1t Is difficult to imagine Harder still Is 1t to imagine why such shells should be necessary on isolated Plum Island It only shows what laxity there may be in other matters which concern the welfare of our guardsmen. With Nmore mimic battles to come at Pine Camp during the stay of our own sec- ond regiment there and with a ten days schedule of battles in which Boston's harbor defence guns will take part beginning at once, there is reason to call for reform and the strictest sort of regulation on the part of those who have these matters in charge. It is not right when, as in this case, the mother of the young
 man who has been shot, should speak
 of the incident as "a shame which the state of Connecticut should re- . member forever"

THE HEADS ON OUR COINS.

One of those magazine writers who combine some literary ability with an over developed aptitude for ferreting out new and original subjects for pre- sentation and treatment, has written an article in the current issue of a well-known magazine which decries the use of ideal heads on our coins. "Our postage stamps and paper currency constitute a great art gallery of every name and countenance familiar to United States history" he says, while our coins have borne naught but for eign looking maidens and ill-propor- toned birds" He speaks sarcastlcal- ly of "a series of uncomfortable lady Liberties backed up by a miscellany of shooting stars or an aviary of eagles whose talons are eternally enmeshed in useless darts and nondescript herb age"
 The proposition is a unique one, an ideal one, indeed, for filling the pages of magazine; but it does not com mend itself favorably. Tn the first place, there is that ever-present argu- ment that may be adyanced-namely, ttat we never have had the heads of
  famous Americans on our coins and that, unless there Is some very good reason to change, the present sys- tem continues to commend itself The very fact that, as he says, "our post age stamps and paper currency consti- ute great art gallery of every name and countenance familiar to United States history" seems to be an argu- ment against the reduplication of that "art gallery" at every other available opportunity There are some very ad. mrable pictures in the Metropolitan 1 Museum in New York; but, were there exact duplicates of them, painted by the same artists, in every art museum all over the country, we would thinl less of them If an American sees 6 picture of this or that former presiden every time he has occasion to take { bill out of his pocket or to lick q staml is that any reason why he should se' another heterogeneous group of the same heads every time he stops |, count his change?
 The abstract idea of Liberty and O Patriotism has meant much to thi nation and, let us hope, they will con tinue to do so. Upon those two prlnci pes rather than upon the worth ol services of any man or group of mer has the nation continued and prosper ed and what more appropriate thal that the chosen symbols of these tw distractions should be on the coin Q our realm. with which our stamps ar bought and on the basis of which ou

American Colleges. yG,.tn Jful,

Colleges are for the few. The great mass of the people can never enter into this aristocracy nor directly share In those luxuries which the alumni enjoy when they gather on the campus and sit at the banquet board. The prohibit tion of entail of property and of primo geniture, which made the first born son the heir of family rank and wealth. has made impossible In America the landed aristocracy which was the glory of England, American palaces of one gen- eration become club houses or art gal leries in the next. Our colleges and universities are in our democracy do- ing the work of the noble families of Great Britain. Music, painting, sculp- ture, architecture, the arts and sciences, beauty, luxury, knowledge and power minister to the children of Harvarc, Vale, Princeton and the other institu tions east and west, who, generation after generation, sing the praises of alma mater and bestow upon her lavish gifts

The suggestion that the former have been tho heads of foreign looking maid- ens' may have been due to the imagln- ation of the writer or to the fact that we are a collection of immigrated for cigners anyway, But the art of 1t should be q matter to be easily reme- died.
