The modern battleship is a tremendously
costly and complicated structure IL is an
outgrowth of the best naval science and the
most advanced ideas as to naval warfare.
Yet within a year or so doubts must have
arisen in many minds as TO whether these
great ships were equal to all demands and
emergencies. SO many Of them while yet
new and while engaged in ordinary service
have met with accidents, owing in many
cases apparently TO sheer unwieldiness. and
have been disabled for months at a time.
The Indiana, the Illinois, the Massachu-
sets and, more recently. the Missouri have
suffered from such mishaps. The use of
submarine and torpedo boats, too, seems
likely to reduce the usefulness and impor-
lance of such ships. The use Of these boats
by the Japanese has been a startling illus
tration of their possibilities and of the help
lessness of the battleships under certain
conditions. They suggest the likelihood of
an entire revolution in the methods of ma
val warfare, and it is not a matter for sur
prise that opposition has arisen on this
ground to the building of more of the
costly vessels at this time

Guarding the President.

Hysterical charges that the White House has
been converted into "Bastile," all because a
caller was examined to his sanity, really
amount to nothing except TO show that the Pres
idents protectors doing their duty OF the
merits of this particular We are ignorant
but IL is well known that the executive offices
besieged by cranks. The wild-eyed ones
are, of course, turned away by the secret serv-
Ice men. but not all dangerous characters go
about proclaiming themselves crazy. Under the
sober guise of men protesting to have an APP
pointment, bursting with important political
information to pour into the Presidents ear
some of them push their way into the ante
rooms. OF course, it is the private secretary s
business TO detect and exclude them. II they
will not be put off or tired out, intimation
that physicians are in waiting and that great
many prosecutors OF the President have been
found insane, is often sufficient to speed the
parting guest. In the about which the out
cry is now made, really sane man seems to
have been detained for examination But that
event is reassuring. 1t proves that the President
is we'll guarded. Better that hundred unknown
sane men should be kept out than that one fair
seeming lunatic should get in.-New York Even

PRESSING PUBLIC NEED.

The many visiting Republicans in addi-
ing the state convention, and all of a polit-
ical standing and character in their re-
spective districts that gives them right
to be present, make crowd too large to
be accommodated in Tomlnson Hall. Yes
terday it was impossible for all to obtain
admission and many of those who found
their way up the stairs were>forced to re-
main in the corridors. This is an unusually
large gathering, of course but others equal
in size will be frequent occurrences, now
that city and State are growing rapidly.
and. like this, will emphasize in a forcible
such meetings. A year ago the movement
to build a coliseum in Indianapolis started
with sentiment in its favor and DISPOSE
ton to contribute to its erection that en-
couraged a belief in the immediate success
Of the scheme. What has become Of that
movement? Why not revive the enterprise
and provide the city with a hall roomy
enough for political conventions or for any
body Of men likely TO assemble here? 1t
is a thing that should be undertaken not
only for the sake of visitors in attendance
on such gatherings, but for the sake of the
city itself, its welfare and it's reputation.
And it should be done at once.

undernaid Ministers.

This matter has been brought UP afresh by the
Methodist Conference. now in session In har-
lem One of the country ministers crystaliized
the situation in a phrase about the difficulty OK
supporting a sealskn wife upon muskrae
income" as the chief trial which beset men In
this station. Presiding elders report that many
OF their rural clergymen get only $500 year.
That sum is so small that the minister's eher-
gies must, in the nature OF things. be diverted
from his sacred calling to schemes for earning
money for his family. And meantime the
Methodists and the other denominations are
growing steadily richer. and the standard OF
living among those to whom the country clergy
men minister is rising. The servant Is worthy
Of his hire especially to servants OF the LORD.
The administrators Of the church ought to see
that It does not get the name of a VIGOROUSLY
bad paymaster, for, no matter with what de-
.votion a man may start upon a clerical career.
his service will inevitably tend to sink TO the
level OF the returns for it. An underpaid clergy
is unchristian. and it is also the worst possible
policy, considering the church as human an
stitution purely.-Brookyn Eagle.

SECTARIANIsM IN POLITICS.

There seems to be something in the min
isterial profession which totally units a
man for practical politics. This may be
the fault of politics or it may be the
fault of the profession; the chances are
that the latter is the case. However that
n ay be, it invariably occurs that when a
preacher feels himself called upon to give
his time to a political issue he does little
good-usually positive harm-to that is
sue. A preachers blunder helped to ruin
the chances of one of the greatest Repub-
licans who ever a candidate for the
presidential office. In the name of reform
New York preacher has become the
laughing stock of the country. Why should
this be? A lawyer, a doctor, a plumber or
out making himself and his cause ridic-
ulous. Why not a Minister.
Perhaps the answer may be deduced from
an incident which occurred in Indianapolis
Monday evening. From yesterdays Jour-
nal the following is clipped:
Murmurs of dsapproval filled the Prohi-
tition Hall last night when b. +. Watson,
the president-elect, announced that a Uni
versalist minister would address the next
meeting on THE He'll of Liquor Traffic"
How can a man talk on hell when he be-
heves in no hell?" they said.
That is to say, ii seems impossible to
keep sectarian prejudice out of questions
in which professional sectarians are in
terested- One sensible clergyman who was
present put the case in a nutshell. He
said
The one. the only, reason why we have
not advanced of late is because we have
proceeded along religious lines. Cut re-
ligion out of the question entirely 1t
doesn't make an iota Of difference to what
der omination man may belong, what
creed he may profess. As long ne is
opposed TO the sale OF liquor he is = Pro-
hibitionst and welcome to our ranks. Pom
der this carefully The only way to
deal with a political question is in a po-
litical way.
But the ministers forget this practical
point. 1t has been proved that Reed Smoot
is 10 polygamist. but the clergy petition
to have him expelled from the Senate be-
cause they object to his religious views. A
large number of ministers protested against
the appointment of Unitarian to be chap
lain of the Senate. That petty spirit of
sectarianism has weakened the sects them
selves; it weakeas every cause into which
il is instilled.
1t is not on account OF lack of ability or
education that ministers are not good poll
ticians. 1t is because they get into the rut
dug by exclusive dogmatism. and see ev-
erything from that position. When the
clergyman becomes broad enough to get
out of that rut he may become as use
full statesman as any other citizen.
