shore Duty Naval omcers Ordered TO
Try Their seaIegs.
philadelphia Press.
Secretary Moody IL showing a disposition
to curtail some OF the perquisites OF naval
o~fhcers, which, while It may not increase
his popularity in the department, ought
TO win for him public approval. He thinks
that naval o~ficers should spend a good part
OF their time at sea and that there are alto
gether too many ofheers In our navy de-
tailed for shore work. He has sent out a
letter addressed to naval oficers in Wash
ington and elsewhere on shore duty asking
each one for his opinion az to the neoes-
sity OF detailing a naval ofbcer for the
work the one addressed Is engaged in.
The questions asked appeal to the honesty
OF every man and nc doubt will receive
honest replies. But a man holding a de-
sirable position on shore may not be able
to see quite as we'll as some other person
that a civilian could perform the duS Just
as well and thus enable the oficer to go 20
sea. Not all OF these oficers on shore
duty can be spared for sea duty. but there
are a good many Of them that can be sent
to sea with advantage to the navy and to
themselves.
There are altogether too many naval
ofncers on shore duty. In no other navy
in the world, It Is said, Is there such a
large percentage Of officers detailed to
shore duty. As there is a lack OF ofhcers
to man the ships Secretary Moody's policy
Of substituting civilians for shore duty
where that can be lone as well as not and
Of consolidating ofices In other cases is a
good one. He Is deserving OF the thanks
Of the public for taking hold Of this matter
in q courageous manner. With . view Of
stopping an abuse.

IS ouR PRooRrss TOO RAPIDt

The former finance minister Of Japan,
regarded in his own country as a man OF
great ability, recently visited the United
States and made a careful study Of
financial and commercial conditions
here. While he was necessarily i'm
pressed with our energy and commercial
development the effect of his observa-
mistic regarding the rear future. In an
interview he expressed apprehension
that the too rapid progress of the
United States is likely to experience a
serious setback in the near future" He
thought too much business has been
done on borrowed capital, which coupled
with the magnitude of the commercial
operations common in the United States,
will probably lead to a panic at the
first untoward circumstances, such as a
bad harvest or similar misfortune"
While there is at present no apparent
danger Of financial or business disaster,
but on the contrary most favorable
promise of an indefinite continuance of
prosperity and material progress, the
fear expressed by the Japanese inancier
may well command the attention of men
In this country who are largely engaged
in financial and commercial affairs. The
United States has been advancing COM
mercially at a pace which IL not already
too rapid for safety may become 80 I'M
less more conservative methods are
adopted, particularly by the great fnan-
cial institutions of the country. 1t is
probably true that most of the great
banks of the country have been lending
too much to aid business enterprises, or
have not been sufficiently careful and
circumspect in regard to the character
Of the enterprises aided. 1t is certainly
a fact that there has been more or less
recklessness on the part of banks in aid
ing industrial combinations whose
soundness was not established. At pres
ent financial institutions generally are
exercising more care In aiding business
enterprises, but it is impossible to tell
how long this conservatism will con-
tinue.
In the main the business Of the coun-
try seems to be on a sound basis and
whether or not too much has been done
on borrowed capital 1t is of course i'm
possible to determine. II such is the
fact it is Of course a dangerous condi-
ton. The real danger, however, as
everybody who has given the matter In
telligent consideration understands, is in
the greatly overcapitalized combinations.
1t is the possible collapse Of some of
these, which may come at any time, that
gives reason for apprehension. Not a
few Of these are now, it is not to be
doubted, in a condition bordering upon
collapse and would go down before the
slightest adverse circumstance. But for
this there would be no substantial
ground for fearing financial or business
disaster.

EDUCATION CHINA'S HOPE.

In an interview prompted by his recall
to his own country, WI Ting Fang, who
as Chinese minister to this country has
distinguished himself for his rare per-
~spicuity and sober common sense, de.
clared a few days ago with reference
to China's needs:
There are three important things for
China. They are education, railways and
newspapers. I would like to see China i'm
prove In these things, because China has
need Of good men, and the way to get good
men is to have good education.
We ought to have more schools in China
and more young men studying In Europe
and the United States. I should like to
have schools in China as you have in your
country. We ought to have a system Of
popular education, 80 that everyone can
be educated. We want our people edu-
Gated.
Then we want more railroads. Railroads
are the means of education also. They al
low people to travel and allow those OF one
town to come in contact with people OF
other towns. That is education.
The third Of the pre-eminently important
things Is the newspapers. We want high
Clobo hCWoPhpCIb an ulu ludC 10 an
other form Of education. They must be
conducted in a proper way.
Boiled down, the three things sug-
gested by Minister WI as most I'M
portant for China resolve themselves
each into education, or rather a diff
ferent method Of achieving popular edu.
cation. Carefully Utilizing his oppor-
tunites Of observation during his mis-
sions abroad at the capitals Of various
European countries as well as Of our own
he has had 1t impressed upon him that
the handicap under which China labors
and has labored for centuries as COM
pared with the more civilized nations is
the lack Of universal education among
the common people. The thrift, frugal
ity, energy and integrity Of the Chinese
by the side Of other Orientals is con-
coded. but their inability to turn these
praiseworthy national traits to best ad-
vantage arises from want of knowing
how. h.
What makes American labor superior
In efficiency and more versatile in APP
plication to ever-changing conditions is
It's superior education. What has made
America lead the world in inventions
and practical scientific discoveries is
the general diffusion Of intelligence
through its public schools and educa.
tionaI institutions. What has made the
American army and navy invlncible has
been competent direction by trained of,
hcers specially educated for the pur
pose at West Point and Ann Arbor.
Minister WI expresses the wish thai
more young men from China could
study in the United States because he
knows our universities and colleges are
unexcelled both In equipment and teach
ing force and that Chinese students car
learn more there than they can at home
He wants more railroads in China be
cause he has seen the enlightening ef
feet Of close contact between people and
communities produced by constant in
terchange OF travel and traffic. HI
wants more newspapers in China be
cause he has had proof In America OF
the powerful influences welded by M
enterprising and untrammeled press fol

the entire people.
