The War Board.

There is very common miscon-
ception on the part of the public as to
the duties of the strategy board, or,
as it is now known, the war board.
According to the popular idea this
board, with autocratic orders, directs
the movements of fleets and the
execution of plans of campaigns
down to the smallest details. Moth
ing could be further from the truth.
The duty and object of the board are
to learn the movements and plans of
the enemy, and to gather all kinds of
information that would be of value to
the naval commanders at sea. 1t
does not hamper them with unneces-
sary instructions, but supplies them
with all the information obtainable
that might assist keeping ever in
mind the principle that the COM
mander on the spot is the person best
qualified to act,
If this fact was thoroughly under
stood, there would be less carping
criticism by press and public.

Half dozen mushroom dailies that

Work of Laying Rails VIII Begin In

The work on the Washington county
railroad is being pushed. The work is
well covered, and everything is moving
forward satisfactorily to the contractors.
When contractors are satisfied the public
certainly should be.
One OF the engineers employed on the
line said last night that Ellsworth people
would be able to go to the Cherryfield
fair by rail.
The work of laying rails, it is expected,
will begin at this end in about month.

In time of peace it was all right for
men to oppose the annexation of
Hawaii because they did not person
ally believe that this country would
be benefited thereby; but, now that
the President, his entire cabinet, and
every officer in the army and navy
whose opinion has been asked, have
declared that the immediate annexa-
ton of Hawaii is a military necessity.
without which our attempting to hold
the Philippine Islands may be turned
into disastrous failure and all of the
fruits of Dewey's great victory be lost,
it is not all right. On the contrary it
is all wrong. That free speech may
at times become dangerous is shown
by the activity of the sugar trust
lobby to prevent Congress providing
for annexation of Hawaii, notwith-
standing that the administration, a
large majority of Congress, and an
overwhelming majority of people were
strongly in favor of annexation, even
before it was declared to have become
military necessity. If this lobby
isn't guilty of treason, it is danger
ously near to being guilty. From the
day that the President declared an
nexation to be military necessity it
has been the patriotic duty of Con-
gress to annex, without regard to
personal opinions of individuals.

1t Is reported that Senator Foraker
reused the galleries to great enthusiasm
by his speech. He Is an eloquent speaker
but his speech was not characterized eth
er by originality of idea or marked by
epigran. SO far as it may be judged from
necessarily abbreviated press reports. the
logic OF his reasoning should have led him
to vote for the majority report and not for
the minority report. Precisely the same
argument he used in favor OF armed In

of the presidents policy. He says that
should our navy simply blockade the har-
bors. SO that the Spansards could take no
provisions In. the Cubans would speedily

question yet to be determined. Niles and
Merritt both commanded divisions In the

A FORMER DECLARATION OF WA.

The differences OF opinion In congress
over the means to be adopted with ref
ence TO Cuba remind the historical stu
dent OF the scenes during the early part
OF isla. when war with England was
being considered. Then. as now, there
was q very great difference of opinion
and some very warm encounters be-
tween the members.
On June /. Isle. the presidents war
message was sent I'm to congress. and on
June Is bill i'm accordance with II,
which had passed both houses. was
signed by the president, who proclaimed
hostilisies the next day. In the house
Pennsylvania and the states south
and west OF Ii gave g. votes for
the war and So against t.; the
states north and east OF Pennsyl-
vania gave II yeas and 3e nays--in all
- votes fer and 10 agains, war. Not
only was there geographical division
az sentiment. but all the Republicans
were not in favor OF war. Thirteen
northern and two southern Republicans
voted against IL. In the senate the vote
stood 10 TO IL. and among the latter were
six Republicans.
The opponents OF war called them
selves ''she friends OF peace. liberty ami
commerce. and manifested themselves
particularly In New England. Josiah
