New York Evening Post: What
the navy will do without Hobson
we are at q loss to know. It has
been go very evident for some time
+ past that the navy hinged upon Mr..
Hobson in Mr.. Robson g estimation,
at least, that the loss Of its pet hero
may We are afraid, seriously inter-
fere with it's appetite for more
battleahips. This disappearance Of
q genuine hero'' from the com.
missioned rolls Of our feet is really
. very serious thing. OF course,
Winfield Scott schley is left. But
there are some people-notable nine
tenths OF his brother ofioers-who
are still wicked enough to think
THAT his resignation would tone up
the navy. Yet Mr.. Hobson's USE
fitness to the public has not wholly
ended; He is now free to travel
around the country on bis patriotic
errand Of inducing this Christian
country to waste millions on battle
ships and other Instruments of de-
struction. BE can repeat as often
as he pleasee the thrilling lecture on
the worlds future perils in which
he portray's American batteships
tearing over the grain fields Of
Hungary, CALAMITY riding the
mountains of the Balkan states and
ploughing the plains Of Bohemia
while blazing away at that terrible
1''eastern danger" that disturbs Mr..
Hubson's slumbers. Best of all,
however, the naval constructor will
for years continue to serve as a
horrible example of what the great
est hero may come to when he is
attacked by enlarg 9ment of the
Uranium.
I. New York Tribune: 1.-THE trouble
with this country" observed j. B.
Mckee. one of the foremost manu-
facturers of Pittsburg, at the Hotel
Imperial yesterday, lis that. sit is
too prosperous. The people are
getting SO rich and powerful that
they don't care a great deal for any
thing. Some years ago I knew two
young men in Pittsburg. They were
bright, clean, able fellows, college
graduates and men of ability. They
started a little two by four foundry
and asked all their friends to give
them what little orders they could.
I recently had a chance to go into
a new company and took hold of it.
It was necessary to build a number
of new machines. The contract was
worth about 500, 900 to the firm
that got it. I Immediately recalled
my two young friends and said to
myself: "Those are nice boys. I
will give them this order and make
their everlasting fortune So I
wrote a note to one of them to come
and sec me and estimate upon the
work. He came all right. What do
you suppose hesaid' Well, he looked
the matter over, and he said: Mr..
Mckee, that isn't exactly in our
line. Still, by getting some special
workmen and going to little
trouble we can do it for you. But
I prefer that you see the Singer
machine people, the Ansonia CON-
pany or somebody that makes
speciality of that kind of work. We
will do it as favor to you because
you are an old friend, but, really,
it is out of our line" I was dazed,
but thanked him. Then l looked
up those two young men and l found
that they were making about
$3.50, 600 a year each and were as
independent as clam at high tide.
I tell you things are looking up
for some people"
