THE REASON WHY.

Secretary Herbert complains that ''the
newspapers misrepresent the ships of the
new navy" He says:
If any little defect is found in a naval
vessel the papers take II up and magnify
1t and write columns about It. They
make sensations of trining matters which
In merchant vessels would attract no at
tentlon outside the repair shop. In this
way they have made a mountain out of a
mole hill concerning the Texas. They did
the same about the Indiana.
He adds that while these sensations do
not hurt the navy itself, because defects
and accidents can easily he repaired, yet
they alarm the people and cause them to
suspect the navy is all wrong, whereas
the truth is 1t is all right.
The secretary is kind enough to say
that he does not believe American edit
ors are lnimical to the navy but that
IN the race for news many things are
lone which ought not to be done" If
exaggerated statements are printed con-
corning the defects in the Texas or any
other American naval vessel those really
at fault are the ones who can give accu.
rate information at once, but who fail or
refuse to do so. They are the ones who
by falling to tell what they know. force
newspapers to so to other news sources.
The people Of the United States take
a Keen interest in their new navy. They
are very proud of it. 1t does not please
them to know that any one of their war
ships is faulty in any respect. but If II ia
they want to know 1t and have the defect
removed, They would be glad to have tho
navy department take them into its conf
dence and give the earliest and most NO,
curate news. If 1t will not they win have
to go elsewhere.
It is admitted that the Texas received
trivial injuries while in the drydock Had
the authorities announced the fac,
promptly there would have been no son.
sational publications" What is true ot
the navy is equally true Of many other
departments Of the government Tboy
are often unnecessarily secretive ana then
complain of the consequences.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

Today the big turkey gorge is upon us
in all its vigor, and once again are the
people ready to celebrate a festival that
is annually becoming dearel 20 every
body, though it is fast losing the old
time semi-religious Puritan charm that
cnce belonged to it. We still term 1t
Thanksgiving" cllnging to the good
ol~d-fashioned name that conjures up
visions Of New England farm houses,
and sweet-faced women and ponderous
pumpkin pies. Some Of the sweet-faced
women are still with us, but he aristo
cratic cranberry Is fast taking the place
of the pumpkin, and there are other
changes that alter many Of the eXternals,
though it is to be hoped that in spirit, at
least, the day is celebrated as it always
was-a day for charitable feelings n
lavish benevolence. It ushers in our
New Year there is a succession of pleas
ant breaks in the dull monotony of this
work-a-day life that come as a stlmulator
of future efforts.
Nobody works on Thanksgiving day;
that is to say, nobody except the women
who cook the dinner, the motormen on
our cars, the restaurant people and the
men whose hard fate has been cast in
the daily newspaper profession, and whose
pens have got to travel just as fast as
ever to supply the public with the
news. BY the by, what on earth a man
vans to read a newspaper for, when he
is recovering from the effects of trufled
ducks, fat turkeys, fruit, nuts, pies and
all the other good things of the season,
passes our comprehension, But he does,
and so he will get his Historian tomorrow
morning as usual.
Let us see what our citizens have to
be thankful for.
The railroad is coming at last, and the
erection of the bridge across Young's
river is no longer a myth. Amen!
We have a new and an excellent sys-
TEN OF water WORKS. amen, again.!
Astoria is the llvelIest city in the state,
with more business TO the square foot
than there is anywhere else to the square
acre. Amen, once more!
The "Citizcns' party" has run 10 seed,
ard IN a few days we will see inaugur-
ated a clean and honorable system of city
government. Amenl and Amen!
So when our readers pass their plates
up today for second helping Of IA wing,
If you please, and a little more stufing,
If you don't mind" they can rest assured
that the fates have been kind enough to
give them many good and sufficient rea-
sons for being truly and sincerely thank
full.

CHARACTERS TOLD IN SHOES
Our Natures Revealed Unerringly in GU
Tyne of Footwear.


Anybody who looks about him can tell
character by the shoes. 1t requires no
study to do this: the evidence Is there
every time and no probing is necessary.
A policeman or detective, no matter in
what disguise, is often Identified by Grim
inals by his shoes. They know full well
that policemen and detectives are in the
habit of wearing large. heavy shoes, with
soles twice the thickness Of an ordinary
shoe.
How easy 1t is to recognize the German
corner grocer by the broad, fiat shoe he
wears, no matter where YOU may meet
him.
The neat button shoe or gaiter is typl-
cal OF the methodical business man,
The careless man or woman can be
readily recognized by a shoe on which
half the buttons are off, or on which the
laces are secured in an unsightly and
~slipshod manner.
Dainty, refined maidens wear shoes
with patent leather tips that fit their
feet to perfection; and, again, girls who
are Vivacious and flighty wear high
heeled shoes that cramp their feet. When
you see a girl wearing shoes on which
one side of the heel is worn off and bent.
you know hat she Is vacillating and
tickle.
Common sense women wear a low
heeled shoe, which is intended more for
comfort than for style.
The heavy, coarse boots worn by coun-
trymen are proverblal. 1t requires no
bunko steerer to recognize the owner of
them.
Whenever you are in doubt concerning
the character of any person, judge by the
shoes and you'll seldom make a mistake,
