A NAVY NEEDS MEN


1t is a singular fact but one of
standing knowledge that service in the
navy seems far less attractive, as
measured by the difficulty of getting
recruits and of keeping the ranks well
filled, than service in the army.
1t has been so for many year, and
conditions seem to be getting worse
rather than improving. A recent dis
patch from Washington to The
G 10 b e says: more than 100 officers
and over 1000 men are lacking of the
number necessary to man the new adj
ditions to the navy. and although it
has been decided to place two war
ships now in active service out of
commission in the near future. even
this viii leave shortage of about 50
officers and 1900 men,
This is curious because, at first
glance and for that matter on second
thought too, the preponderance of at
fractions for the young man seeking
to enlist in his country's service or
looking forward to this as a career
would seem to be wholly on the side
of the navy The life is more pic
turesque and Various. The troops on
land, even when changed from one
post to another, see comparatively lit
tie variety; while garrison duty any,
where il. the very symbol of monotony.
But the sailor is sure of frequent
change, sees all parts of the world in
comparatively few years Of service,
and when not called upon to fight has
the solace of motion and the infinite
changes of life at sea.
The opportunities for advancement
seem to lie largely on the same side.
On the whole the pay of the seaman is
to be preferred to that of the soldier.
The chronic lack of men makes the
way OF promotion much more rapid.
There are many branches and depart
ments of the service in which special
aptitudes can easily make their way.
And if war should come, all the events
of recent times seem to indicate that
the navy. stands no second in impor-
lance for either offensive or defensive
work. II is therefore inexplicable that
there should be such a chronic short
age of men, unless it be due to the
fact that nearly all our people are
iandsmen, and that the young man
brought up without familiarity with
the sea or life upon ii sllrinks in
stinctively from naval service.
Be this as it may, one way of rem
edying the governments lack seems
to be indicated by the very dispatch
to which we have referred. 1t is to
stop charging our naval fighting
strength beyond all possible needs I'M
less We design to turn aggressors. a

few ships put out of commission will
make the naval force adequate to the
demands upon it. We cannot create
warships in day, and therefore it is
necessary to have them. Then we
should have a small but active perna-
pent and trained force to man them,
and a large and efficient naval re-
serve, disciplined even more frequent
~ and carefully than the militia, and
ready to furnish men to the navy on
short notice in any emergency. This,
when we get away from the craze of
militarism, the ancient harry and
curse of the nations, is the policy that
we shall see At to pursue.

Southern Tribute TO fioar

The Southern papers generally are
speaking kindly of Senator Hoar. They
are. no doubt, recalling the memorable
words he uttered in the evening of his
life, of his Southern brethren He
uiscerned also that, granting the valor
of the Southern people in war, they
had displayed a greater intrepidity in
emerging from difficulties after van
qishment physically, and that many
another people less severely tried
would have sunk under. He saw also
that old-fashioned family habits, old
fashioned honesty, oldfaslaioned NOR
atty had vital survival at the South.
He was close student of history, and
had not forgotten the glories of the old
revolution, when ''the cause of Boston
was the cause Of us all."-Augusta
(Ga.) Chronicle.

Alarm From Georgia

Should the Georgia vote, either in
October or, November, fall short in any
respect, Mr.. Watson and the Repub-
llcan managers will be sure to claim a
practical victory. This the Democrats
of George cannot afford. We who are
voters must do our duty by men like
the Georgia congressman, who are
forced to stand on the floor of the ma
tional legislature and explain the small
ness of their vote. That sort of thing
encourages the Republicans to insist
upon the reduction of Southern repre-
sentation. Let US this year, ali the
way from the Rio Grande to the Poto-
mac, demonstrate the magnitude Of the
Democratic electorate and destroy the
argument which the Republicans now
predicate upon past election returns.
Let us, in holding up the hands of our
representa- lives in congress, prove that
we are true to ourselves, to the party.
and to our country Let not these words
fall upon needless ears.-Macon (Ga.)

MORE FAl Sc PRErENsEs

The hypocrisy of the Republican
party on the subject of the tariff is not
local or sporadic, but breaks out like
an eruptive disease all over the country
as the campaign progresses. 1t is of
a very virulent type in Minnesota
Here we have papers like the Mime
apolis Journal and the ST. Paul Dis
patch proclaiming the necessity of tar
if reduction and berating the iniqui-
ties of the tariff oppressors as vigor-
ously almost as Democrats could de-
sire. At the same time We have these
papers and all the politicians working
for the success of men who are pledged
to the policy of the Republican party,
which is firmly and finally declared to
be the indefinite maintenance of the
present tariff law unless it be changed
in the direction of an increase in
duties. .a~
In the East this loathsome affection
takes a different form. William H.
Moody, attorney general of the United
States, spoke to a Republican conven-
ton in the state of Massachusetts on
Friday, and said: 81 think may as
sure you that in the near future this
! government will again invite Canada to
consider in a friendly spirit our trade
| relations" The party is pretty nearly
shameless that resorts to such tactics
| as this. The Republicans of Massa-
| chusetts have again and again rejected
| and turned down the proposition for
reciprocity with Canada. The Repub-
| lican party of the natien has repudiat-
ed the policy of reciprocity as a whole,
regardless of its pledges, regardless of
the advice of President Mckinley re-
gardless of the pledge of President
Roosevelt to carry out his policies, in
| Guiding reciprocity as set forth and
| reiterated almost in his dying words.

procity treaty anywhere or with any
country because it cannot and dare not
without treason TO the protected inter-
ests that own it.
We have no objection to any position
on the tariff or reciprocity that the
Republican party chooses to take. We
object to skulking hypocrisy and two
faced advocacy. Republicanism does
not and never can mean any reduction
or reform in the tariff Repubiicanism
does not and never can mean any form
or measure of reciprocity with Canada
or with any other people. This let the
voter clearly understand and then make
up his mind and act accordingly.

THE WAY TO WIN

Many men have studied the path to
success, but. few understand truly that
the best way to win is to deserve to
win. That is the secret of all great
and permanent achievement. That is
the secret of the extraordinary upris-
ing in this state against the nominees
and the policy of the Republican party,
the political revolution that is already
practically accomplished. The Demo-
cratic party might have planned for
years, might have concocted schemes
and employed the shrewdest managers
and manipulated platforms to catch the
spirit of the people without success.
1t has achieved the wonders already
performed in this campaign simply by
doing the right thing as it appeared to
it; by acting as every party should if
it aims to win in an appeal to an in
telligent and self-respecting people.
There were no combinations and no
bargains, there was no skulduggery
and trading and mincing words and
chopping phrases and deals with pow
erful interests here and influential men
there when the Democratic state con-
vention did its work. It made such a
platform as it believed would appeal
worthily to the people of Minnesota.
1t nominated a ticket composed
throughout of clean and able men.
1t announced its allegiance to the great
principle of a non-partisan judiciary,
and as a pledge of it's good faith it
put on the ticket two Republicans side
by side with its own candidates. 1t
even fought to a finish the legal battle
necessary to obtain the rights of these
candidates to place on the ballot,
and through its action has annulled the
most pernicious feature of our primary
election law.
Now there might have been any
amount of dissatisfaction and revolt
against Republican managers and poll
cies, but it would never have ripened
into action had there not been the APP
peal by something worthier on the
other side. Had it been only a choice
between. one boss and another; had it
3aaap an alac+io,, 1,ot,r-,-.-
man and another unfit man; had one
ticket as whole shown no better
average of fitness or fidelity than the
other ticket as a whole, there would
have been ne interest, no campaign
worth mentioning and no change. The
marvellous thing which has happened
has happened because disguised Re-
publieans. determined no longer to
submit to such rule as has been their
portion. and looking about for Nay
of rational escape, have found await
ing their support list of men than
whom none could be more competent
more honest and more above political
or personal reproach-
Because the work was done loyalty
and faithfully in the spirit that should
animate Americans everywhefe by the
Democratic masses through their con-
vention. the opportunity was created.
It is a lesson to men and to parties.

When Age is An incentive to Youth

If the heavy hand of dismissal is to
be laid summarily upon all men who
reach certain age, it will be useless TO
follow the paths of sobriety and hy-

other hand, if men who are old only in
the number of their years are dealt
with On the basis of their capacity for
work, there will be every inducement
to the young men of the present gener-
alton to husband their strength, so.

cap. In ne other way can we expect

Italy and the Pope

The pope as the head of a world
wide church must be free from sub
lection to any temporal power. He is
practically free now, no doubt; but he
desires formal acknowledgment of
that freedom. SUCH the Italian govern
ment can well afford to give-not by
withdrawing from Rome, but by the
superintendent to the pope OF a terri
tory sufficient for the recognition of
his independence. The surrender would
be purely fictitious and it would be we'll
worth while. There will be nothing
surprising in such an outcome of so
cialistic violence. Church and state
must come together for mutual .protec-
ton and defense. Providence Or, -L)
