ASHINGTON-Muchh has been written of
the severity of the discipline at the
United States Military academy. The
Washington officials of the war depart
ment, acting on the advice of the old
graduates of the academy, have kept the
disciplinary regulations at the govern
ment's school pretty much as they were
in the early days, when the thought was
that leniency had no place in military
affairs. The judgment of the army is
that the old rule is still the best rule.

 "The Mississippi River Commission says that in order to carry on even that they ought to have $2,OO0, 900 more year and certainly congress ought to be ashamed not to give 1t to them.
 T am very sure that the speaker of the house, who, although, says he is but one member of the house, never theless, under the customs which have grown up, is more or less speaker for the house, Is charged with deep responsibility in regar dto this great question. It is the question what can you do, how much will it cost. how long will it take, and what will [ re. suit in. Now when you address your selves to this body of men and treat it as mere question of transporta. tion on a profitable basis, have not the slightest doubt that you will reach solution that will appeal to those who have the responsibility of voting the money for the government and that you will get what you desire in a measurable time"

The four grim little vessels slipped along in the wake of the pres idents flagship for an hour or more, but the smoke from their multitudin- ous tunnels beclouded the entire fleet behind and finally they were ordered to steam ahead at full speed to New , Orleans to await the president there. Having developed into a full fiedged baseball fan during the season. the president started his career as foot ball enthusiast this afternoon
 The committee in charge of his visit decided yesterday that it would be too much of a task on the president to go to two football games in one af- ternoon, but if he was to go to see the Sewanee play the Louisiana State University the adherents of Tulane and the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanical College were insistent that he should call in at their game as we'll.
 The president decided last night that he certainly would see the Be vance game, for Captain Butt. nis aide and one other member of his party were old Sewanee men and they put in convincing word for their al ma mater. When this become known the president was beseiged upon his arrival here by requests to attend the Tulane game as well.
 It was said that 1t had been extens- lively advertised that he would be at the game and it would be a bitter dis appointment to thousands of people if he did not do so. So MT. Taft decided to go to both games.
 First he stopped in at Pelican Park and saw the Sewanee team make the final touchdown in game which they-won with apparent ease. Then the president had six mile automo- bile dash to Tulane Campus. where he saw the last fifteen minutes of play In an evenly matched game won by Tulane, ? to 0. At the Tulane game the presidents automobile was stopped along the side lines and had been standing there but a few min utes when a lively scrimmage ana spectacular tackle occurred right in front of his machine. At both games the presidents ears were filled with college cheers.

sible that perhaps ir might be well to let the government experiment a bit ill risking some capital to put a few lines onthe river to see whether something cannot be done with that business. In Kansas City they are investing money today to try it on the Missouri river.
 And the question whether we can meet the point that you have got to have some means of gathering the business and getting it on to the boat in order to compete with the railroad, may give rise to the suggestion that the government might establish sta tions along the river for the purpose of housing the merchandise to be sent by the river.

 COOK CLIMB
ALASKAN FRIEND OF SENTINEL. RECORD SENDS MARKEe PA
 PER ON THE STORY.
What the People in the Section of Mt. Mckinley Think as to Cooks
 Story of Ascension.

Marked copies of Alaskan papers, from Cordova and valdaz, have just reached the SentineLRecord, from one of which the following editorial on very interesting subject at this time is taken
 "A party calling himself Captain H. C. Sandford, breaks into the Seattle Times with the assurance that he knows Doc Cook climbed Mount Mo Kinley in 1906. because he saw the doctor up the Yentna river in a launch looking for a place to start from. Al terward he saw Dr. Cook in Seward and Doc told the captain he had nush- ed to the top of the big mountain. Doctor Cook also gave Captain San. ford all the details of his alleged climb.
 This appears to raise conclusive presumption in the mind of Captain Sandford that Dr. Cook got there, and he urges other people to accept this conclusion. The Times considered this talk good enough to print, al though 1t isn't a very yellow story after all The ochre is too thin.
 eIf Dr. Cook gave all the details of his climb to Captain Sanford in Sew ard the captain is better corksciew for information than the Seward news paper men. who could get nothing from Doc about his trip except that the mountain seemed to be built most ly of pink granite and that the ascent offered no unusual obstacles in noun. tain climbing. He said he had pho tographs taken from the top but did show the negatives.
 "Dr. Cook seemed reluctant to talk about the ascent while he was in Alaska. but when he reached Seattle he either loosened up or else the re- porter has an imagination that makes Munehausen look like deliver after facts. This writing person spread peacock language over column and half of that solemn sheet. in mixed metaphor and hectic rhetoric figures, descriptive of the climb Whether the reporter got the stuff from the doctor or fixed 1t up himself is not known probably to anybody aside from those twain.
 Captain Sanford's guess may be good one, but platoons of prospectors and Indians can be produced who will swear that no creature without wings can reach the top of Mount Mckinley and that a man couldn't get over the sawtooth range in front of it in twice the time Cook claims to have used up in going to the summit of the big mountain" A
