The time for registration of voters
for the coming city election is but short,
and it is the solemn duty of every good
citizen to qualify himself to participate
in the election of city officers. The best
material available should be selected,
and as registration is the prime qualifi-
cation for the exercise of the elective
franchise, everyone entitled to vote
should place himself on the proper foot
ing to aid in the selection of clean and
enterprising officials. The city is grow
ing rapidly, and in order to keep pace
with the times, it is necessary that a
wide awake city government should have
the reins. Register at once, and there
will be no doubt that this desirable con-
dition will be brought about.

Hospitality in the Navy.

In regard to the recent festivities al
Kel, Portsmouth and Lisbon the Army
and Navy Journal says: "The visiting
officers of the United States navy held
it's end up with their German, British
and Portuguese entertainers in the gen.
lal rivalry of good fellowship and social
cheer. Yet back of all these gratifying
reports there is an unwritten story OF
uncomplainlng financial self sacrifice
and consequent embarrassment on the
part of our navy officers which is far
from creditable to the American govern
ment. The plain truth is that, in order
to make the absolutely necessary return
of courtesies extended to them at Kiel 1,
Portsmouth and Lisbon, the officers of
the European squadron had to draw up
on their personal means to an extent
which, in many cases, has proved or
will eventually prove seriously embar-
RAISING. 1t is estimated that every
officer of the squadron has been obliged
to devote to this program of reciprocal
a sum equivalent to so per
cent of his pay for three months, as a
result of which some officers who have
no means beyond their pay will be hard
up for months to come. They did only
what custom and usage required of
them. They were not entertaining on
their own account. The functions for
which they taxed themselves were for
nal and official, and, morally least, oh
igatory. In other words, they were
sent to important foreign ports and re-
IuIred to maintain the American repu-
alton for hospitality by paying for it
,ut Of their own pockets. They paid
he freight, and the United States gov
'rment gets the credit"
