HE WAS NOT HOBSON.

The difference between Lieut.. Hobson
and all other men is that any women
can kiss him with impunity. Matilda
Bradley of Harlow has very nearly run
the risk of giving her name TO a lead
ing case on kissing by failing TO rec
ornize the distinction. And Matilda Is
married. and Matilda ought TO have
known better. She was charged before
the local petty sessions on Saturday
with having assaulted the Rev. Lewis
Butler. curate OF al saints, Harlow.
Mr.. Butler told the court that after di-
vine service ON the previous Sunday af-
ternoon the defendant remained behind
until all the other worshippcrs had left
the church and while he was hanging
mn his surpice she came up 90 him,
threw her arms around him and said:
~ ss. ve must today lie released
himself from her. and afterwards saw
hcr husband. As she had previously
nunoVcd him he was obliged TO take
those proceedings. Matilda, In her de-
feper. said she loved the dear clergy
and there wns no comfort for her at
home The clergy had helped her
Through many torublcs, and this was
The only way I'm which she could show

'TWlxT YOU AND ME.

Up stairs in Billy Budds house
live Mr. ana Mrs. James Arthur Me-
galthorpe.
Il don't think l have mentioned the
Megalthorpe's as yet I'm my occasional
remarks, although | believe you al
ready know the Budds. Everybody
knows Billy.
Well. the Megalthorpes live up
stairs in Bllly's house.
That is IT isn't Billy's house any
more than it is the Megalthorpe's
house.
1t is somebody elses house. you
understand. and the Megalthorpes anG
the Budds are just tenants.
But most folks In our nelghborhood
refer TO it as Billys house because Billy
happens to be the best known and most
generally popular.
II suppose there are folks who know
the Megalthorpes better than they do
the Budds who would speak of it as
the Megalthorpes house.
Its only "A fashion. a way people
have, you know, OF referring TO a
house.
And. one way or the other, it Is OF
no particular consequence.

cullar parts and talents. Dewey was
unknown TO the outside public until he
turned up. a conqueror at Manila.
other naval officers had in time OF
peace. been more conspicuous than he
because of conspicuous opportunity.
But when che opportunity came 20
Dewey ne was prepared 10 seize IL.
Ana while we all believe that none of
his brother officers coult have given a
liner exhibition OF the naval art as
prac3lced IN our service il Is not unfair
to Dewey TO also believe that about
every other officer Of his rank and eX-
perlenoe with the same opportunity
would have accomplished precisely
what he did in precisely the same
workmaniike fashion and with just as
much glory TO the service and their
country. 1t is safe 20 say that barring
exceptional instances of a lack OF capa'
city, every naval officer believes in this
theory Nelson's famous "slgnal at
Trafalgar that England expects every
man to do his duty may be paraphrased
TO apply TO the American navy that of
every man i'm 1t a common talent and
ability, according TO grade is expect
cd as a matter Of course--to do his duty
to the highest point of efficiency. IL
there are exceptions 10 throw doubts on
this assumption the truth OF IT, never
theless, stands in the records Of the
history Of our navy. IT is indeed diff
fcult TO recall but very few i'm
stances where naval officer has failed
TO reap the fun advantage for his coun-
try, OF any trust imposed i'm him. 1t Is
a matter of course that duty shall be
performed 10 the limit.

The seniority system in the United
States navy is one OF the prime ele-
ments OF its strength. It's principle is TO
the effect that certain officer OF a GER
tain rank can be depended upon abso-
lutely TO perform certain duty. Time
and experience have justified the sys-
tenn. In exceptional instances it seems
TO work a sort Of hardship. There are
undoubtedly men in subordinate posi-
tons on the naval register who are
fitted for higher rank before they re-
ceive such rank I'm the ordinary process
OF promotion. Such men are often Sc
Iected for special duty according to
iheir talents. But as a rule the senior
ity system is a guarantee Of fitness all
along the line. The naval officer who
does not develop In due proportion as
he comes 10 each successive grade Is
weeded out and retired and so 10 comes
10 pass that. barring special aptitude
in special branches OF his profession.
every naval officer of a particular
grade is just as well qualified to per-
form the duties that an ~mergency may
call for from one Of his rank as every
other officer In that grade. That is the
theory OF the naval system Of promo
ton by seniority and II Is justified I'm
practice. IL under such a system an
occasional gallant officer fails OF re-
ceivlng what seems to be his due. ON
the other hand the system permits OF
no favoritlsm under the guse OF spe-
clal acknowledgment OF service rem
dered. The nation wanted 20 make an
admiral OF Hobson because OF his bril-,
liant services at Santiago. But II Will
be just as well for Hobson and better
FOR the naval service as a whole n the
gallant lieutenant takes his turn with
his fellows az under the system. Of
course. he win have 70 do.

Dismissing the charge of favoritism
as prompting the Secretary of the
Navy 10 select captain TO command
the Atlantic fleet in the Spanish war,
the only other conclusion constitutes a
charge quite as serious. by his selec-
tion OF fleet commander over the
heads OF many superior i'm rank, the
Secretary of the Navy practically an
nounced that i'm his opinion a dozen
men holding rank and receiving pay
based on an assumed capacity for the
duty were really unfit for the work that
the government expected of them and
held them responsible for. Such a
proposition was. OF course. without
warrant in theory or fact. To give
force 10 the illustration, we need but
imagine that Dewey, a Commodore, was
at the outbreak OF hostilities on duty
on the Atlantic seaboard. over him.

son would have been promoted To the

can naval officer ever held.

uTHE WHITE MANS BURDEN.


Rudyard Kipllng has written n poem
entitled "The White Mans Burden, "
evidently called forth by the colonial
development Of the United states. 1t
will appeared i'm the February issue of
McClure's Magazine, although the edi-
tors did not receive the poem until after
the magazine was on the press, The
forntiSpiece was taken out, ana the
poem was printed in its place. The
poem Is not oSy important but Is OF
considerable length, and we are permit
ted TO give some extracts from 1t:
Take up the White Mans burden
Send forth the best ye breed
Go. bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives need;
To wait In heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and Wild
Your new-caught sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Mans burdeAi-
The savage wars of peace
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease.
The ports We shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread.
Go. make them with your living
And mark them with your dead
BY all ye leave or do,
By al ye leave or do,
The silent sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and YOU.

The Secretary of the Navy made
mistake and because of IL we have the
Sampson Schley controversy 1t is a
dispute that ought TO have been impos-
sible and but for the mistake OF the Sec
retary Of the Navy would have been
impossible. 1t does not affect the ar
gument that Sampson proved a capable
commander and contributed perhaps
his fun share to the triumph of our
naval forces everywhere. That prac
tically every one OF the officers over
whose heads he was promoted would
have done equally as efficient service
is beyond dispute, and IL any one Of
