the NAVY AND. ITS NEEDS.

The annual report of the U. 5. navy,
by Secretary John D. Long, made pubic
4odav. shows the present strength and
needs Of this important branch OF the
public service, department that grows
more important as our nation becomes
. greater world power.
The naval vessels and forces are COM
prised in the Asiatic squadron, operat-
ing in Philippine and Chinese waters.
the North Atlantic squadron, the South
Atlantic squadron; the European squad
ron, the Pacific squadron and the ap-
prentice and training sauadrons. In or
der to properly man the vessels now in
uee the secretary recommends that the
number OF lieutenants be increased from
400 to $50, and that the limit of the num-
Der OF junior lieutenants and ensigns be
made 600. He also recommends that the
enlisted force be increased by 1900 men
and that the marine corps be increased
by $50.
A comparative statement OF the
strength OF various navies of leading
nations shows the forces employed in
1900 to be: England. 114,ss0 men: France,
4s775; Germany, sO,3s6; Russia, 1886;
Japan, 2s,1os; Italy. 25,so4; United
States. 23,453.
The secretary again calls attention to
the pressing need of a national naval
reserve force from which to draw for
sea service Immediately upon an out
break of war. He says: 1.-The results of
the Spanish American war were such as
to assure every one having knowledge of
naval matters that steps should at once
be taken to meet the one certain and
positive requirement which will face the
nation upon an outbreak OF war-the
Immediate necessity at that exigent
time. II it comes, OF a large increase in

STATE RESTITUTION MANAGEMENT.

STATE INSTITUTION MANAGEMENT.
The biennial report of the board of
control of state institutions of Iowa, filed
with the governor, gives proof of the
wisdom of the legislature in creating
such board. 1t is proving much supe-
rior to the old and independent boards
OF trustees in the systematic manage
ment it gives to the various institutions,
twelve in number.
In the report just submitted it is
stated that the system of financial and
store room accounting originally inau-
surated has been found excellent and no
change has been made therein. The
financial condition of each institution is
ascertained at the close OF each month.
and the stores and supplies are invento-
RED and checked UP at the end of each
quarter. The checking up of the store
rooms on June 30 1900 disclosed errors
by way of shortages or SURPRISES at nine
cut of the twelve institutions, while the
checking up one year later June 80.
190D showed that at ten of the institu-
tons there were no errors, and at the
I other two the errors were trifing in
amount. When it is considered that in
the aggregate the institutions carry
and that mistakes and errors not ex-
ceeding So in value were found. 1t is
proof that the system is not only excel
lsnt but capable Of being practically ap-
piled by intelligent. careful persons with
results not surpassed in the best BUSH
ness houses In the land.
To show the magnitude OF the interests
under control it appears that at the end
OF the biennial period there were 1913
inmates at the institutions as against g.
759 at the beginning Of said period. Dur
Ing the biennial period there mas been
expended for all institutions under the
boards care $2.505, 1875 OF this amount
$685.. s13.6S was for new buildings, ex-
traordinary repairs, equipment, land,
transportation and miscellaneous items.
and $2,167. sos.o7 was for support. Dur
ing the binennial period ending June 80,
1899, there was expended for support for
the institutions 2,114,S19.75. and dur.A.
the biennial period ending June 80. 1901,
there was SO expended 81. 167, 90607. This
Increase was partially due to the en-
banced prices of materials purchased
and largely due to the increase in the
number Of persons In the institutions to
be supported.
All the work of management is done
by small force, under intelligent direc-
ton. The number of persons employed
In the Office of this board June 80, 1888,
exclusive OF members of the board. was
fourteen, and the aggregate of monthly
salaries s725.42. The number of such
persons employed on June 80, 1901, was
ten, and the aggregate Of monthly sala-
ries $641.70. The work in this office Is
now more promptly and efficiently per-
formed than formerly, as the system has
become more perfect and better under
stood, and returns and reports received
from institutions are, in most cases, cor
rect. During the same period and in
recognition Of faithful and efficient serv-
ice the board has made substantial in
creases in the wages of every employe in
the ONCE.
The Times Republican believes the
state has reason to congratulate Itself
oyer the good results reached.

Certain Table Luxuries.

Official reports from Maine show that
lobster catching still holds it's place as
an important and profitable industry
in the fisheries of the Pine Tree State.
Alarming reports have been circulated
persistently that Holsters would soon
be as costly luxuries as the genuine
diamOnd-back terrapin and the true
canvasback duck from Chesapeake
Bay. But that evil day seems to have
been put or for the present. Fisheries
commissions have been busy with the
work Of restocking the favorite haunts
of the lobster. May abundant success
attend their efforts
1t must be admitted with sorrow,
however that the problem of multi
plying the numbers Of diamOndbacks
and canvasbacks appears to be insolu-
BILE. No chances for restoring the
thinned-out hocks of the ducks that
feed on the roots of the wild celery on
the Atlantic coast is yet in view, and
experiments IN the breeding Of choice
terrapin of the genuine epicurean fla
vOr on Southern turtle farms have not
so far been brilliantly successful. The
demand for the daintiest table luxuries
has been steadily increasing in our
great cities but the sources of supply
are becoming far less prolific than Of
yore. New York Tribune.

there are about 100000 miles. In 1919
the first steamship crossed the ocean,
and in 1920 the total steam tonnage
afoat was about 10000 tons and of sall
tonnage about 5,S14,00O tons. To-day
the steam tonnage Of the world cou-
slderably exceeds 100000 and tile
sail tonnage is over 100000. Re
duced to a common standard of meas
urement, the carrying power Of vessels
on the ocean has increased from A..
100000 tons in 1900 to 63,00O0O0 tons
in 1900.
Since 1914, when the first telegrapi
line was constructed, about 1,000,0O0
miles of wires have been strung The
first twenty-five miles Of ocean cable
were laid across the English Channel
in 1851 and since then 10000 miles
more have been laid. Concurrently
there has been steady advance in the

we recall that in 1900 the fastest time

took thirty days in 1918 to bring to
New York the news of the great West
Indian hurricane of that year, and
that the first voyage Of an American
vessel from New York to China oc-
cupied fifteen months on its round

The Passing of CowboYs.

The day of the cowboy is drawing to
a close. Civilization with it's rali.
roads, its steam and electrically pro-
PEELED vehicles and worst Of ALL its
barb-wlre fences, is slowly and sure
ly eating up the great cattle ranges
of the West and crowding the COW
punchers out Of business. In some
parts of Arizona and in New Mexico
the "round up of the cattle is still
the principal event Of the year. On
the plains of those Territories the cow
punchers and broncho busters, with
their gaily comparisoned sombreros
and huge spurs, still live the wild,
free life Of the prairie, but even for
them the end is coming, and soon, like
the buffalo. they viii be things Of the
past. The cowboys realize this, ami
are drifting gradually into other busi-
ness. Some have enlisted in the cav.
airy regiments Of the army and others
have given up their horses and gone
into some humdrum business of city
life. Some of the more famous Cf
them have placed a market value on
their skill and hired themselves to
Buffalo Bill or some circus company
and pass their lives in giving imita-
tions of life in the wild and woolly
West" within the confines Of an arena
on a campus of tan bark. 1t is only
a question Of a very few years now
till the cowboy will be heard of only
in histories Of the Western Territories.
