EXPERT NAVAL 6UNNERY.

1t is pleasant TO know that the Navy
is paying closer attention to gunnery
and that good scores are being made.
Some years ago the gun and not the
gunner was the desideraturl. Given a
fine weapon on a sound platform and
anybody could do the rest. On that ac-
count the American craftsmanship at
Manila and Santiago bays was, con-
trary to the general impression, very
bad indeed. AT Santiago out of every
hundred shots fired at the fleeing Span
ish ships. but four struck the mark;
and although the showing at Manila
was better, it was not satisfactory to
Admiral Dewey. Too much ammuni-
ton was used up to bring given re-
suits.
1t is now dawning upon the Navy that
craftsmanship is as good thing for
the fighting man afioat as it is for the
fighting man ashore. Once the soldier
did not know its value any better than
the sailor. The old way was to fire vol
leys. not to take beads" Braddock
in the Pennsylvania woods fired by
platoons upon Indians who were select
ing individual marks At New Orleans
Pakenham did the same; but Jackson's
men shot as if they We're after game
and killed and wounded $500 of the en-
envy, thus winning the battle. On the
sea the volley was repeated by the
broadside. Long ago the United States
army put its faith in the Individual
marksman; and now the Navy is be-
ginning to rest its confidence on the in
dividual gunner.
By steady practice at maneuvers I'M
usual scores have been made On the
Illinois, firing at a stationary target
while the vessel was moving, a score of
twelve hits out of thirteen shots was
made with thirteen-inch guns at dis
lance Of five miles. The gunners of the
Iowa steaming at twelve knots past a
stationary target, mace thirty hits out
Of thirty shots with six-pounder rapid
fire guns. This feat was accomplished
/ by three gun crews, each having ten
shots. 1t beats all records. AT San
/ Francisco. lately, the submarine Gram
pus discharged torpedo at range OF
$50 yards and struck a stationary target
squarely in the center. Admiral GLASS;

at Magdalena bay, reports marked
Increase in the proficiency of gunners.
This is the kind OF thing that is going
to tell in our next naval war-an event
which may not be very far of. II
America gets the best gunners in the
world she can meet a much larger heet
than her own. Not relative tonnage

PUBLIC SALARIES.

1t is a rather difficult thing to say
whether it would be wise or otherwise
to reduce Territorial salaries, meaning
in particular those of department
chiefs High salaries are supposed to
attract good men; low salaries to repeI
them. Exceptions to the rule are where
able men are willing to work for any
salary for the sake of the prominence
which they could use as stepping
stone to something better. Take the
$1,000 salary provided for judge of the
Circuit Court, for example. That insig-
nificant sum keeps the Nestors of the
bar-the men whose age. temperament,
learning and experience fit them espe-
cially for the woolsack-off the bench;
and leaves the positions to young law
yers who want them for prestige in fu-
ture practice or TO politicians who can
make the power of the court subserve
their political ends. Probably the gem
eral average of justice would be higher
In any community If lawyers long in
practice came to the judgesf5fps here as
they do in England. by promotion. 1t
must be confessed, however, that the
attraction of high salaries Is not felt by
good men alones that bad men have
been known to take an interest in them.
p When it comes to getting there" in
politics. the dark horse sometimes beats
the white favorite; and it is not pleas
ant to award a great prize. which had
been reserved for the favorite, to sus-
pected stranger. Perhaps the wisest
way in the matter Of salaries would be
to regulate them by the prevailing rate
OF recOmpense for the same kind of Ia
Dor in private life.

DIVISION OF MONEY.

Now that basis of division has beer
reached as TO the appropriations which
are to be made for the various senator
ial districts. in the Loan bill, it is well
to look into the comparative amounts
which wiz be thus given to the various
counties The taxable values, real and
personal, for the two counties of Ha-
wall, are not available, but those for
the islands win give an appreciable es-
innate.
Taking the appraisement of 1902. when
the real and personal property in the
islands was listed at s122, $40, SOS, as the
basis Of the calculation the various
islands would fare thus, in the division
of the excess of the amounts to be
placed in the Loan bill above those
sums needed for the Territorial works:
Oahu, f55 per cent: Hawaii. 22h per
cent; Maui. liz per cent; Kauai. II
per cent
If on the same basis the Loan bill is
made for s.. SOC. 900. and that would be
at The rate of per cent. for each year,
as permitted by the Organic Act, there
would be then first taken from the total
the amounts for wharves and docks.
harbors and lights, for prisons and asy-
lums, for schools and public buildings,
and then would come the scramble for
the remainder,

It is demonstrabIe that if the city is to
be kept in the line of the best going in |
the way Of shipping, then there must
be the very best harbor here and the |
dock facilities must be improved. 1t |
would be the best possible investment |
if half million should be applied to
these purposes. What with a new in
sane asylum. a new prison and the
schools which are absolutely needed. an
other half million would be readily con-
sumed.
Should the total of million and a
half be apportioned to the various dis
tricts, for the amounts are to be taken
over by the several senatorial subdivis-
Ions, the sums by islands would be as
Oahu. $s25.OOO; Hawaii. $751;
500; Maui. s172. 500; Kauai, s165.OOO.
1t is safe to say that there will be
hard time in dividing this money. for
the resolutions already presented ask
ing for appropriations would cover the
amount several times over, and the
of the Legislature will find
themselves in hard hole, when it
comes to satisfying themselves as to
the proper placing of the amounts.

T,rius the Kids.

DR.. Bryan of the State University
says, "Don't tire the kids" He
thinks they have too many studies
and leave school too soon. He would
have fewer lessons and take more time
for them by making the high school
course six years instead of four. DR..
Dennis of Earlham about the same
time said that some of the studies of
little children are beyond them and
should be transferred to the high
school, where they could be learned in
less than half the time by the maturer
scholars.
The two educators agree in think
ing that the Younger children are
crowded too much, and, as DIR. Bryan
puts it. time and energy are lost by
forcing a child TO study thing before
he is ready for it. But many will OBJ
ject to the leisurely limit of six years
for the high school, which already
seems too long for those in hurry to
enter college or to go to work. The
suggestion is worth consideration, and
the one thought underlying it of more
thoroughness in the public school
course, is always in order.-Indianap-

Sunday evening a young man driv.
ing horse that seemed very tired
stopped at d. NJ Beckner s at the foot
of the Jordan hill south of Plymouth
Sunday evening and asked PERMISSION
to stay all night saying that he would
sleep on the hay in the barn and cover
himself with robes he had in bis
buggy.
He left sometime during night and
left a note in the buggy saying that
the horse had been stolen from man
named Shelby in South Bend. Oflicers
here were notified Tuesday and a
telephone message to South Bend
elected an answer that the horse had
been stolen Saturday night and the
owner would come on the noon train
and get him. The horse was fourteen
years old and was not a very good
traveller.

HORSE THIEF CAUGHT
The Horses Recovered and the Man
Bound Over to Court.

The man who stole the fine young
matched team from the barn of Clin-
ton Jones in Green township, on the
evening of Sept. 2, is now in Jail in
Plymouth and the horses are on their
way home, and was found in excellent
condition.
The capture of the thief and the re-
covery of the horses are due to the
persistent work of Sheriff Bondurant
and John r. Jones, county clerk elect.
John r. Jones and George d. Hart
man, got on the track of the man and
team IN the vicinity of Bourbon last
Thursday. and pursuing him eastward
ly in the vicinity of Leesburg, where
they lost the trail; but Jones taking
it up again Fri0ay following him to
Milford where Jones was joined by
Sheriff Bondurant and Charles Moon,
Deputy Sheriff of Kosciusko county
and young farmer, w. NJ. McEwen
of Milford, who followed him Until
caught by Sheriff Bondurant and
Bryan Wilkins, Deputy Sheriff of
Branch county Michigan, at the home
of S. r. Bell who lives about 10 miles
north and east of Montgomery, Mich.
The rest of the posse consisting of
John r. Jones, Deputy Moon, McEwen
and farmer L. Langs, whom he had
taken dinner with Saturday, being
about half an hour In the rear.
The man, who about go years old,
gives his name as w. H. Nelson, but
he stopped with Mr.. Jones over night
in July and then gave his name as
James Whitman. He saw the fine
young team at that time and knew
just where to find them. He had
horse and buggy, but turned the horse
loose, hitched one of the Jones horses
in its place and led the other.
He travelled in such a way as to
avoid as much as possible all large
towns and telephone lines. He often
changed bis course SO as to throw pur-
suers off his track. He was seen GO
ing south several times, but his desti-
nation was Saginaw, Mich, where he
expected tn sell the horses. He drove
slowly and took excellent care of the
horses. He fed them at noon every
day always stopping with farmers over
night to whom he explained that he
was a farmer and had bought the
horse which he was leading to match
the one he was driving.
Messrs. Bondurant and Jones reach
ed Plymouth Tuesday. Whitman was
taken before Justice Molter where he
entered plea of guilty and was taken
back to jail to await the session OF
court in October.
Sheriff Bondurant, John R. Jones as
well as Clinton Jones, from whom the
horse was stolen, deserve the thanks of
the entire community for their deter
mined efforts which resulted in the
capture of the thief.

Small Cons Outstanding.

There are now outstanding 1872
$50, 22l pennies. Many of these, how
ever, have doubtless disappeared into
the oblivion which swallows up the
pins. Since the organization of the
government ISL, 1926, 06s pennies
have been coined. OF these 133, $685..
847 have been remelted, but the gov
eminent does not remelt them any
more, because it is cheaper to buy
fresh strips of bronze and make them
from new metal. Old, worn and de-
faced pennies will be redeemed il they
are brought to the treasury, but they
are destroyed.
Many years ago, when things were
cheaper, the mints used to coin half
cents, but none have been issued since
the civil war. There are 1895, 222
outstanding, but probably most of
them are lost or in the hands of coin
spectators.
or the large, clumsy copper 2-cent
piece which was formerly issued 49,
III, ala are still outstanding. You
sometimes see them nowadays, but
not often.
There used to be Scent pieces also,
made OF silver originally, but after
ward OF nickel. None have been
coined since the civil war, but TO-
$50, $40 are still outstanding, although
most of them must be lost or de-
stroyed.
Last year 81, 480, 579 scent nickels
were coined and issued. making a
total OF 385, 072, 052 now outstanding,
which is about forty-five per capita of
the population, although no doubt
many of them have been destroyed.
