SHALL NAVY BE
LARGE OR SMALL?
SENATORS TALK ABOUT 1T.
NAVAL OFFICERS, SAYS HALE,
WANT THE BIGGEST NAVY.

when the Stage Contemplated by
says an Appropriation of $780,
10000 Year Will Be Needed,
Money Thinks the Yellow Peril
the Real Menace in the Orient,
Criticised Governments Oriental
Policy.
washington. March 3.-For almost
four hours to-day the Senate engaged
in a discussion which, while techni-
cally on the Naval Appropriation bill,
covered wider range of subjects, includ-
ing the policy of the United States in
the Philippines and the Russo-Japan-
ese war. The principal participants
we're Messrs. Hale, Bacon, Lodge,
Depew, Patterson and Money
In calling UP the BILL Mr.. Hale made
a comprehensive statement concern
ing the general condition of the Navy
and the programme for its increase.
He criticised the plans of the naval
board as tending to an establishment
beyond the needs of the country.
In some respects Mr.. Hale said,
"the naval officers are like the farmer
who wants to raise the biggest pump
kin. They do not want Great Britain
or Germany to excel the United
States"
The naval board plan contemplat-
ed forty battleships and twenty-four
armored cruisers, Mr.. Hale said, and
he added that when that stage was
reached an appropriation of 5000, O,O0O,-
900 year would be necessary for the
navy. I'VE should" he said, "get
along with a hundred million a year."
Mr.. Lodge, Mr.. Depew, and Mr. Perk-
ins defended the naval officers, and Mr.
Lodge declared a large navy essen
tial to the maintenance of peace.
Mr.. Money said that he did not con-
slider the total appropriation of $79, ,OOO,-
900 carried by the bill as excessive
under our present policy in the Orient
He, however, criticised that policy
as did other Democratic speakers. Mr.
Money quoted a higher authority as
predicting that in the event of Japan
ese victory japanese would go to the
Philippines. He thought it was not the
European nations we had to fear in the
Orient

Mr.. Tayler said Mr.. Smoot would
be bound to follow the direction of the
church, not only In spiritual affairs.
but also in temporal things, because
under the definitions of the church. it
is impossible to distinguish between
the two. He would have to obey or
resign his apostleship.
A rule of the church was quoted
in regard to the release from duties
of certain members of the apostles OF
others in high positions In order to
perform other duties, and Mr.. Tayler
asked: WAS it necessary for Mr..
Sn1oot to get consent TO r1n for SEN

'tHe had to get the consent Of his
associate apostles, and the first presi-

Mr.. Tayler devoted considerable at
tention to a discussion of the Nor
mon marriage ceremonies. 1t was
brought out that all of the high church
officials, and all Of the elders are au-
thorized to marry persons.
The celestial marriage. or the mar
riage for eternity, was discussed, and
Mr.. Smith said it was one of the things
which the Mormon Church believed in,
but that the practice had been in disuse
for twenty years or more.
The committee adjourned until to-

It is also certain cure for croup. Wbooping cough is not dan gcrour when this remedy is given. IL contains no opium or other harmful substances and may be given as conf dently to baby as tO an adult. It is also pleasant to take. When all of these facts are taken into consideration it IS not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this remedy very highly and very few are willing tn take any other after having once L,cd it.

In the fall Mr.. Siefarth was throw

SOME DON'T WANT 1T
Primary Election Law = Taxpayers
Say 1t Would Be too Ex-
pensive.

Many taxpayers are open in their
expressions Of objection to the pro-
posed primary election law. They
say that if it is adopted it will cost
practically the same as it does now to
hold a general election. They add
that the latter costs enough without
increasing it by holding two instead
Of one election, every election year
In the proposed law, there are pro-
visions for printed ballots, for poll
books, for blanks for returns, for
judges and clerks, for canvassing
officers, in fact for everything prac-
tically that is now involved in the
regular election All this expensive
machinery, they say, is to be substi-
tuted for the present system of pri-
maries and conventions which cost
the taxpayers nothing 1t is estimated
that under it, the ordinary primaries
in Polk county, which cost nothing
now, would under the proposed plan
cost at least 500, ii not more.
1t is said that in some of the older
states where the plan has been tried it
has been abandoned.
The proposed law will doubtless be
thoroughly explained in the state
press between now and the June cleo
ton, and the people will be enabled to
vote upon it intelligently. If it will
have the effect of doing away with
political bossism and the disgraceful
fights carried on in some counties be-
fore the primaries it should be adopt
ed. The OBSERVER is inclined to be-
lieve that it is like the registration law
in one respect and that is, that it will
be Of no practical benefit outside the
large cities.

Growers Get Left.

When Tommy Whitehorn left Cor
wallis to join his family in California,
he was not quite certain where he
would find them, situation brought
about by irregular mails at that time.
Letters received from him give the in
formation that all is we'll with him.
Tommy is interested in the prune
business to some extent here. He
stepped into a grocery store at Golden
Gate Park and inquired the price Of
some good looking 4O-50 italian prunes
on display. "They are worth Is cents
pound" said the groceryman.
Whitehorn was surprised that they
were so high and affected a decision
not to buy on that account. The
groceryman said the prunes cost him
ten cents a pound, but if Whitehorn
would take a 20-pound box he could
have them at 124 cents. Then Tommy
said to the groceryman "You are
paying too much for your prunes. !
should like to deliver a carload OF
better fruit at your door at six cents. "
The incident serves to illustrate the
rapidity with which the price Of prunes
goes up after leaving the hands of the
producer. er.-Corvallis Times.
