WORK or THE NAVY YARDS.
Ovcrhaullng Will Give Them
Enough TO DO.
CIV the Associated Press

Washington, Nov. 11.-Although
recognizing the desrability of having
some of the government yards equip
ped for building naval vessels of the
largest size, Rear Admiral w. l..
Capps, chief constructor OF the navy,
i'm his annual report says that ''the
repairing and overhaulding Of the fleet
must at all times remain the import
ant work of the navy yards, and in
time of war their resources will be
taxed to the utmost in performing
such work"
The navy, he says is increasing so
rapidly that ample work will be pro-
vided for the navy yards by repair
and refits' alone.
OF the work on the battleship Con-
necticut, building at the New York
yard, the chief constructor says that
despite every effort to reduce the cost
Of this the first battleship to be con-
structed in a navy yard to the most
economical basis 'it can hardly be
hoped that the work will be done as
cheaply as when performed in private
shipbuilding yards, whose rates of pay
for nine hours work are in many cases
less than those being paid for eight
hours work at the navy yard Sat New
York. 1t may also be noted that
private shipyards do not pay their
per diem employees for holidays or
when on leave, whereas a very large
proportion of per diem employees on
the Connecticut receive pay for fifteen
days leave and seven public holidays
during the calendar year without any
work being done In return therefor"

thing is blue in old Nassau tonight.
Yale today administered the second
defeat of the season to the Orange
and Black by the score of II to o.
Princeton i'll forever blame the ele-
ments for today's defeat. The in
termittent donpours of Friday had
made the ground soft and Shiny and
the Orange and Black were the chief
sufferers. Their backs reputed to be
the fastest in the country could gain
no Roadway on the slippery field and
their forwards much lighter than
Yale's. were unable TO brace them
selves for the fierce attack of the New
Haven boys.
1t would be an injustice to Yale to
attempt to detract from her glorious
victory. but there was surely an ele-
ment of luck in both touchdowns. On
the first score Princeton's over
anxiety was her undoing. Three
times early i'm the opening half were
the representatives of Old Nassau
panalized for offside, and once for
holding-a distance of thirty yards, a
great advantage for a fierce line buck

Especial to News and Observer
Washington, y. c., Nov. 12.-Why?
Roosevelt Wherefore? The people are
satisfied with Republican policies be-
cause-because they are. That is all
there is in it. Explanations beyond
these statements are innumerable.
They serve merely TO complicate a
very simple question
We have arrived at one of these
turning points in American political
life where old policies become con-
fused to a certain extent in the minds
of unrefiecting persons who are too
busy to think of politics and too care
less or selfish to take time for thought
on anything else except making mon
ey At such stage in public affairs
there is first one experiment with the
view OF change made by the minority
or opposition, then and there. We have
a radical policy tried in 1896 and re-
peated in 1900; and we have a con-
servative policy so-called tried in 1904.
Neither is effective for the purposes
of the uses. And the reasons are
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1904-11-13

that the people are not yet ready to
change Republican administration
into Democratic administration: the
individuality of the acting President
is q glamor in the eyes of the young,
adventurous, unrefecting; the course
of the Democratic leaders offends por-
tons Of their own party, with the in
evitable result that the Democratic
candidate, whether a radical like
Bryan, or q conservative, like Par
ker, is defeated Illumination comes
after the event, for during the pro-
cess Of the campaigning all conceiy-
able plans Of either school or wing Of
the opposition party are just as I'm
effectual" as the critic Matthew Ar
mold describes the poet Shelley's fight
in the empyrean to have been-a
beating of the wing i'm the void, in
vain"
What Of the future Of American
Democracy? 1t will have a future.
When Vance said: Democracy is inn
mortal" he uttered al eternal verify.
In all it's vicissitudes from freeing the
colonies from British rule and the
United States from the rule Of the
timocracy of 1790-1800 the party of
Benjamin Franklin and Samuel
Adams, Of Thomas jefferson and
George Mason adopted one
great principle and achieved one great
object--that principle, the principle
Of human liberty, that object, the OBJ
ject of lf-goVernment. Democracy
has several times gone down in dire
defeat only to rise again in two or
four years to renewed life and glorious
triumph. 1t was so in 1874, in 1852,
in 1876 (although cheatedby legal
legerdemain out of its fruits of trans
cendent victory, and it was SO again
in 1892. In this hour of extreme de-
preston. many Democrats here are
taking to themselves this great con-
ISOLATION from the victory of their
party. 1t is an indestructible party.
Whatever name may be given it in
future, and there is no better, no more
hopeful name than the one it now
bears and has borne SO long, the DEM
ocratic party will be ever the rallying
point, the nucleus of the people at
large in the contention for the rights
of the citizen against the encroach-
ment Of banded monopolizers of in
terest and authenity.
The chief feature of the Republican
success 50 far as any feature is con-
spicuous, is the personality of Presi
dent Roosevelt. other features there
were possibly more influential in pro-
curing the great victory of November
8, 1904, but the one apparently princi-
pal is the vote Of confidence in the
character and qualifications Of the
Chief Executive. Assailcd for con-
fessed inhrmities of temper and Judg-

ing aggregation like the Yale eleven.
In the same half Yale suffered only
once for a penalty and at the time the
ball was so far in Princeton's terri
tory that the five yards availed prac-
tically nothing.

spectacular plays; Yale's eleven is not
constructed on the spectacular line.
and the soggy field initiated against
Princeton's reputed brilliant back
field. Yale used straight plays aim
ed at center or tackle, only twice did
she essay quarterback run. The
first attempt was dismal failure, but
on the second try Rockwell got away
for a pretty twenty yard run. Time
and again Tenney gave his own signal
for quarterback run, but he ran so
much faster than the interference,
and the Yale second defense was so
unusually alert that he found q tack

line.
Each man on the Princeton eleven
endeavored to do his share, but Prince
tons gains and her defense were due
in great measure to the individual
playing of three men, Cooney, Foulke
and liler. The former was used as a
battering ram on the Yale line and
seldom failed to gain his distance and

opponents on the defensive in the
closing half. During the last thirty
five minutes of play the ball was al
most continuely in Yale's territory,
except when Hoyt would kick.
There was one noticeably weak
point in Yale's play, and this was her

again her ends would miss Tenney and

Baltimore. Nov. 11.-That an Off
ciaI count Of ballots cast for the pres
idential electors at last Tuesdays cleo
ton in Maryland will be required be-
fore definite knowledge Of the result
can be assured was demonstrated to-
night by the semi-oficial count in Bal
timore City and in twenty of the twen-
ty three counties of the State. The re-
turns received thus far indicate that
Z Democratic and / Republican
elector were chosen. The Congress
sional situation remains unchanged
three Democratic and three Republf-
can Congressman having been elected.
The State Board of Canvassers, con-
sisting of the State Comptroller, the
Secretary of State, the Clerk of the
Court Of Appeals ana the Attorney
General will make the official an
nouncement Of the vote. This board
must meet and complete its labors
within thirty days. 1t Is explained by
the election supervisors and the po-
litical leaders that the work
ing of ballots caused the discrepancy
between the vote for the national and
Congressional candidates. In this
connection charges OF fraud are made
by the leaders of both parties and ii
will be necessary to await the official
count TO decide upon the ultimate re-
suit.
OF the presidential electors 1t is safe
to say that Charles j. Bonaparte Gre
publican) Of Baltimore city was elect
ed and that the remaining seven
members of the electoral college were
chosen by an average majority of
about four hundred by the Democrats.
The vote for the candidates on the So
cialist, Prohibition and Labor Union
tickets has not yet been canvassed.
Both the Democratic and Republic
can leaders claim that frauds and
Irregularities occurred in the coun-
ties, and hundreds of ballots have been
held up by the supervisors in Balti-
more city and in at least three Of the
counties of the State. IT will there
fore require the decision OF the State
Board of Canvassers to determine the
actual result.
1t is expected that the semi-offi-
cial returns Of the State will be avail
able tomorrow.

FIRE AND AN EXPLOSION.
A Loss of S25O,OOO at Knoxville-Six
Firemen Injured.
fBv the Associated Press.


Knoxville, Tenn. Nov. IA fire
accompanied by an explosion of either
dynamite or powder occurred today on
Gay street, the principal business
street of the city, causing loss or
about $3.50, 900. Six firemen were in
jured. The most seriously hurt is
Fireman j. b. Hawkins, both of whose
legs were broekn.
A number of other persons sus-
tanned slight cuts from flying glass
but none was seriously hurt. The fire
originated from an unknown cause
in the Woodruff Hardware Company s
seven-story building which was re-
duced to ashes. The recently complet-
ed five-story marble front being oc-
cupied by the Gable Piano Company
was wrecked by the explosion which
followed the fire in the Woodruff
building adjoining and the six-story

by insurance.

Recently Mr.. Demont, representative

been learned that the size OF the

search work would necessitate visits to
larger law libraries than the one now
