Good Sense.

In reply TO a certain temperance So
ciety OF Connecticut, which protested
against the breaking Of the traditional
bottle Of wine over the bows Of the
battleship Connecticut, soon TO be
launched. Acting Secretary OF the Navy
Darling recently sent the following
eminentIy sane and. wholesome reply:
Il am in receipt Of your communica-
ton of August 12. 1s0i. forwarding sew
eral petitions OF the United Society OF
Christian EndeavoT. requesting that the
use OF wine be dispensed with as a
part Of the ceremony Of launching the
battleship Connecticut. on the ground
that the use of wine in the ceremony
is a practice misleading 10 the young.
questionable to others and offensive 10
many.
Il have great respect for your cause
and your organization. comprising as
600 societies and three million members
in the United States. but in this par
ticular case. as a practical question.
1 am unable TO reach your conclusions.
If the youth of the country are mis-
led, il is not by the ceremony OF break
ing wine upon the iron PROV OF q bat
tleship, but because they follow false
prophets, and il such a use OF wine IL
questionable 10 others and offensive to
many. it is because OF evil to him who
evil thinks
1T is inconceivable that the breaking
Of bottle of wine upon the Connecti-
cut can injure her as a battleship or
work the slightest injury to any man.
and as an example, II seems 70 me that
the cause OF temperance would be bet
ter served if more Of the worlds prod
uct Of wines were spilled overheard TO
wash the hulls OF battleships.
Finally. permit me to suggest that
you and the 5000. 600 people you repre-
sent ought TO find comfort in the
thought that wine thus expended can
neither imperil the soul nor contribute

Will Be Present.

The joint maneuvers of the regular
troops and the militia of the states of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho, to be
held at American lake near Tacoma
from July to July Is, are apt to be
something of disappointment to the
sightseers, for the spectacular is to be
pretty we'll eliminated. There will be
but few dress parades, and the work
is to be one of practical instruction for
the officers and men. One feature,
however, will be a review of the divis-
ion by General Macarthur, command
ing the division of the Pacific, with
headquarters at San Francisco.
Adjutant General Drain of the Ma
tional Guard of Washington has given
out the details of the encampment as
follows:
The troops, regular and state, will
! be divided into two brigades, which
will operate against each other as hos

be encamped at the upper end of Lake
| SteilacoOm and the other near Hug

coma and Olympia, below American

berger, where the National Guard of

exactly what regular troops will take
part in the maneuvers, as General
Funston does not know precisely what

The Browns. commanded by Colonel
