Church, and seeing Brooker there with
three friends, shot him before he could

on trial as long as it lasts. But II the re-
suits attained are to be taken as the meas
ure OF stability and success, then nothing is
more certain than that the beneficence Of
government OF the people, by the people
and for the people, has been clearly es-
tablished in the United States. Indeed,
so fully has this been demonstrated thatthe
influence eminating from this Land Of
the Free has made itself felt the world
over, and has stimulated other nations TO
solve for themselves the great problem of
democratic rule.
Free government cannct,be said to be IN
trial in a country whose people have set
tied in peaceful and orderly fashion all the
great questions that constantly arise to
affect the veal or woe of the state. The
history ofthe United States is one continuous
testimonial TO the success OF free govern
ment. 1t was in danger-in great danger
once, but the people poured out blood anu
treasure like water and preserved it. Peril
threatened upon another occasion, but the
calm, good sense of the people averted it.
There is no degeneration in American
patriotism. Men may differ as TO policies,
but the great mass of the people place the
welfare of the nation above all else, and by
means of constitutional methods seek to
promote It. Free government in this country
has been tried and not found wanting.

matter of justice and economy. Nothing
could be more absurd on the part Of Con-
gress than TO appropriate millions upon
millions for building battleships, cruisers,
Gunboats and torpedo boats and then re-
fuse to grant the paltry thousands needed
to employ more engineers. That is not
economy; it is foolishness. Says Conmo-
dore Melville:
II is one thing to design and build ma

calls If the number of trained men is not
sufficient for this purpose, the efficiency OF
the ship as whole is lowered, and the
money which has been expended on her
construction to produce the very qualities
which were considered of paramount an
portance has been practically wasted.
In line with this demand for more en-
gineers is the need of more sailors. Two
years ago Secretary Herbert urged an in
crease of tire enlisted men Of 2,COo, but
he got only one-half of that number. Since
then more ships have been completed. While
yet others have been ordered by Congress
to he built, and consequently the Secre
tary's original request holds good. The
same argument that is advanced in the
case of the engineers is applicable to the
sailors. The greater size of the ships and
the more complex character of their equip
ment necesstate a larger force to do all
thatneed lie done promptly and effectively.
