Fu1SOtne Praise.

Secretary Hay is somewhat of
an artist at flattery, but the thick
coating that he spread upon Roose-
welt is about AS homogeneous as to
attempt an oil painting on a board
fence. He referred to Roosevelt
as "our actual president - our
young, gallant, able and brilliant
president" Just think of it. "Our
actual president" This is intend
ed as a compliment, and implies
that Roosevelt is the real presi-
dent. In other words, the whole
show. We will not con-
test the statement. We confess
that Roosevelt is our actual presi-
dent, but that is the misfortune
and not the fault of the American
people. He is young. That's an
excuse for him. He is gallant i'm
the matter of closing a country
postofiice, ''cussing out" a motor
man or sticking a pig, but the
brand of timidity that he displays
as trust buster would in compar-
ison with Bob Acres, make the
latter's cowardice look like the
cool, calm grit of the dashing
D'Artagnan. If Hay had stopped
at that it wouldn't have been SO
bad. but he had to go further with
his fulsome praise. Read this:
I'm the six years which remain
of President Roosevelt's term-if
my arithmetic is wrong | am open
to correction-you will see what a
stout heart, an active mind, a vital
intelligence. passion for justice
and truth. and a devoted patriot
ism can accomplish at the head of
a nation which unites the strength
of mighty youth to the political
sense which is the inheritance of
Of free government"
We assure Mr.. Hay that his
is wrong, but it is not
half as wrong AS his Judgment. 1t
may be perfectly natural for a
member Of Roosevelt's official
to speak we'll of him,
but Secretary Hay was not required
TO make q monkey of himself

singular yet. they were armed with

some damage and kept them we'll

of the chips we're ineffective.
In the old days when ships at
tackled forts, they stood close in
and sought 10 drive the gunners
from their guns by heavy and con-
centrated fire. Modern ships, be-
cause Of their great draft and the
fear of torpeaees, do not approach
20 closely. as the gunners in mod
ern batteries are less exposed, they
cannot be easily driven from their
guns. The effect of gun fire against
properly constructed earthworks is
very slight. All experience GER
tainly goes to show that land bat
teries are even more formidable
against ships today than they were
in the old days, when it was uni
versally conceded that a ship had
small chance against we'll served
guns ashore. Of course, the fire
of a fort is more accurate and
iesdIy, owing to the ability to
thoroughly plot the approaches
and establish accurate ranges,
which is not possible in the case
of the SHIPS. which. being con-
-tantly on the move. must momen-
tarily change the range, which al
best lie uncertain at all times where
ranges have not been established
in advance.
1t is only few days since a lit
tie, old-fashiOned fort in Venez

This experience showed that a few
modern guns, mounted in goot
