Governor Mcconnell spent Thanks

his visit he pulled tie string and th,.

what it said:

through the state with regard to the
state ticket worked hardship and now

Ii the Mirror had any regard for the
truth it would not make such brash
statements. They prove only one thing:
that the Mirror is Gothing more than the
mouth piece of individuals who oppose
Hon. Willis Sweet through jealousy and
bitter personal enmity. The efficient
work OF Sweet and Dubois, during the
campaign, for the whole Of the ticket,
from Congressman down, is so well
known to the people OF the state that
the drivel OF the sucker OF Gubernatorial
p.a will have very little weight
"Whom the gods would destroy they
frst make mad, the Mirror is in 4
position to be destroyed-to lose what
little influence it has. In estimating it..

the sworn statements OF honorable men

was mainly through his persuasive man

ticket came out victorious in this

A. \. NeHbery, who is at the national
capital pushing Spokane's claims for the
army pest, has succeeded well with his
mission. He writes that as soon as the
deeds to the property are forwarded the

Buildings Will be let.-Spokane Times.
A. A. Newbery has either lost his
head or is working confidence game on
the people OF Spokane. Any sane man
knows that the contract for the building Of
a new army post cannot be let without
an appropriation by congress. Such talk
is sense!ess yerbiage and we are surprised
hat the Times displays such ignorance.

Penny Wiss and Pound Foolish.

Spokane is laboring with almost su.
pernatural energy to obtain the pro-
posed army post
1t does seem strange though, that the
city can not see the benefit that would
be derived from getting manufacturing
enterprises located there. If the citi.
zens would exhibit one half the energy
IN getting such enterprises located in
that city-with the advantage they
have in water power, sites, railroad
transportation etc, they could in a short
time have prosperous city of 5000
inhabitants. One good sized manu- fac,

to the city in general, than two army
posts, and they could-by making the

DIsposing of His Prize.
When one battle ship captures
another in midocean in the next naval
war. what i she to do with her prize,
asks the Philadelphia Times In the
old days of wooden walls there was no
difficulty in the practice. If the cap
tured ship could float a prize crew was
put aboard and all practicable sail was
made for the nearest friendly port.
while the victor continued on her
cruise; or, if both ships We're badly in
jured. both put into harbOr. But now
adays the position of prize crew
would be far from commanding. The
captured vessel could not be managed
10y her captors-she would have to re
main in charge of her own engineers
and her own firemen, and the victorS
instead of sailing the ship, while the
prisoners remained under matches,
would be reduced to the status of a pO-
lice and thus would the opportunity
for a recapture be greatly increased
For. while in the old days the entire
captured crew were diSarmed and i'm
prisoned the noncombatants OF a cap
tured battle ship would have to be
given their lib erty. practically speak
ing. and much might be accomplished
by a couple OF second engineers with
their wits about them. For instance.
would il be 50 difficult to superinduce
a slight explosion in the port engine
and under cover of the confusion to
liberate the prisoners? Again. the
armament of a modern battle ship
would complicate affairs. Relatively
10 the powers of machine gun the
prize crew would be greatly diSpropOr-
tionate in strength, since the chances
for the prisoners to obtain control of
one of these engines would be in
creased by the freedom of their non
cOmbatants-
Altogether the number of men re-
quired for police duty on a captive bat
tie ship would be very large. and a vic
torious ship would have to reduce the
efficiency of her own gun crews to an
unpleasant extent. 1t would prOba abl Y
be found necessary in almost every
case for the captOr to stand by and ac-
company her prize home across the At
lautic or the Pacific. "a the ease might

tive to the conquered To effect a swift
and noiSeleSS recapture of their own
ship. for If they did 80 one unexpected
torpedo or discharge of a twelve-inch
gun. carefully aimed might very easily
turn the fortune of war entirely in
their favor. In other words. and not
to define too closely upon the possibil-
tiles of the case, the capture of a bat
tie ship in an ocean duel in the next
naval war will by no means ease the
mind of the successful commander He
will have a leviathan on his hands
that it will tax all his energy and clcv-
erness To bring safely into port. and
there may be moments when he will
be tempted To lock up every mothers
