The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-06-11

The father of the new fistic cham
pion of America and the world is a
preacher. When the good old man was
aroused from his bed Friday night by
the worldly reporters of Los Angeles,
who went to tell him of the great fame
that had come to the name of Jeffries,
after learning the result, he expressed
himself as follows: 1T is just as I said
some time ago, when I was asked for
an expression as to the coming battle,
The Lord was in the fight He was with
Jim and of course Jim Won" Thus the
f1stic star and sped down the boulevard
of fame with the speed of an auto
mobile. Up to Saturday morning the es-
Unable father of Mr.. James Jeffries,
who had worked faithfully in the vine
yard for many years, was hardly known
outside of his parish either for his good
works, or for his ability in the pulpit,
and he might have passed over the
divide, to fame stranger, unhonored
and unsung, had not his dutiful and
athletic son, whose talents were direct
ed toward humping instead of theo-
lOgy, successfully swatted Mr.. Robert
FitZsimmons of Australia, in the stats
and on the jaw until he succumbed. 1t
is to be feared that the ungodly will
gain great assurance from contrasting
the careers of father and son, the one
promulgating the gospel of love, the
other the gospel Of force; but let them
remember that the next man who wants
to meet Mr.. James Jeffries in an argu-
ment for the championship, will be
somewhat backward in challenging
until he knows who is backing him.
If the Rev. Mr.. Jeffries' view of the
encounter is orthodox, then good people
will be forced to exclaim with DR..
Watts: God works in a mysterious
way, His wonders to perform"

NEED OF ALARGER NAVY.

In the Independent, Admiral Samp-
son argues for larger navy in a man
ner that will appeal to a majority of
readers as sensible, conservative and
conclusive. His statement of facts is
not to be disputed. The war has re-
suited in the extension of our coast
line given us new territory in the West
Indies to defend, carried us into Asia
and laid upon us responsibilities that
we cannot shirk either in the Atlantic
or the Pacific. The task now devolving
upon us calls for an outlay for ships
and sailors beyond anything we have
known in recent years, and national in
terests make it imperative.
But the frankness with which Ad-
miral Sampson discusses the lessons of
the Spanish war is the most significant
portion of his article. IF our easy
victories over the fleets of weak naval
power fill our people with belief that
we have now a navy that is large
enough for all our needs, then those
victories will have done us harm"
These are his words. Ship for ship,
this navy is as good as any in the
world, but there are defects, and it
becomes us to take note of them"
The admiral does not undertake to
point out all the deficiencies, but there
is scarcely need of that, for they were
obvious to all intelligent observers. We
were short of battleships and heavy
cruisers. The monitors, which were
SLOW cumbersome and untitled for ac-
ton at sea and all but uninhabitable in
the tropics, were pressed into service
as battleships. Torpedo boats were as
signed to blockade and dispatch duty,
for which they were never designed.
| The bulk of the navy was made UP of
protected or unprotected cruisers, ex-
| cellent boats in their way, but useless
| in pitched battle with a well equipped
| fleet of heavy cruisers such as Cervera
was supposed to have, but fortunately
did not. All the hard fighters we had
were concentrated to oppose the Span
| lard, and there was nothing left for de-
Tense at home or offense abroad.
The men and ships of our navy may
be trusted to give good account of
themselves in any encounter, but it is
the height of folly to match battleships
and 11-inch guns with light, unpro-
tected cruisers and 6-inch guns, but
that is what we might have come to if
Spain had been a first rate naval
power. Our sailors cannot be expected
to win victories if we do not properly
the world at Manila and Santiago, but
in the next war, if there is to be one.
they will have to meet more heavy
ships and better marksmen than the
Spaniards could boast.
Admiral SIMPSONS belief in the use
