what mn be said Of the American
navy? Better ask is there any thing pa
triotlc, fearless or sublime that cannot
be said. In whatever cline, under any
sky, against unnumbered foes, standing
aboard our nation ships under the stars
and stripes, can always be found the
highest typessof American manhood.

ment the American warship is symbolic
of national justice, integrity, honor and
strength, and from the day our first vessel
f1oated on the blue Atlantic until this
very hour our naval glories, triumphs and
history remain as unsullfed as the. stars.
ITO the officers and sailors of our navy,
surrender is obsolete, coWardice unknown,
cruelty unheard of, courage predominates.

California, Via Tourist, Over the Rock
.t Island 'Ry. ..1t..,a,

In: selecting a route to California the al
titude and climate Of the country tray

ton. The Rock Island system not only
has the shortest line to the Pacific Coast,
but also passes. through a territory Of the

perature. Beginning Wednesday, and
every Wednesday thereafter, the Rock
Island Ry. will run a tourist Car from
Minneapolis to Los Angeles without
change over the Rock Island-El Paso
Route, leaving the Milwaukee Depot at
$40 p. m. The car will be of the latest
Pullman design and up-to-date in every
respect. and you may be assured. of a
most comfortable Journey If you go this
way, a double berth through costs but six
dollars, and nicer way to California
can not be gone over. Information
