NEW YORK. Sept. I3IThat the peace
OF Portsmouth has accentuated the po-
sition o. -he United States as a world s
power can rot be gainsaid. II is equally
certain that in the future wars the
navy is to play the same dominant
power II did in the Russo-Japanese war.
Hence, & copyrighted article by the Rt
Hon. James Bryce, Nj. p, recognized

rent number CT the Independent, 10 be
published tomorrow and OF which The
Washington Times has secured advance
proofs. on the growth Of navies. is time
ly and interesting. He says:
1.-The question of the maintenance of
great navies hos become a serious one
within the last few years, quite as
serious as the growth of vast standing
armies had become in 1890 The rivalry
of the chief European states in appro-
priating TO themselves territories beyond
the seas which could be held only by q
navy, coupled with the immense develop
ment of trans-marine commerce. has
made fleets fully as important as armies
Naval Expenditure.
There is no better way of marking
the change that has come upon the
navies of the world than by recalling
the figures of naval expenditure. II
1850 Great Britain spent on her navy
ten and half millions In 1880 the sun
had risen TO seventeen millions. In 1so
it was about forty million pounds
treckoning all forms of charge for nava
defense). This is the greatest increase
But let US take some other countries
In 1890 France expended on her navy
t,Hn ofoh in, o1t-<
millions.
I'm 1890 Germany spent s3, coo; ir
1893. over f1000oo0o In 1890 Russis
spent s4.2o0.Ooo; in 1903. over s12.
100000 Finally, the United States
which in 1880 spent s4.eoo.0co. spent IL
1903 nearly f17.O0O.oo.
What are the results which may Il
| supposed to urge the powers who's,
rising expenditure has been referred
| TO, to think that their interests reQuirr
such vast additions to their nava
strength?
The considerations which move Isal,
| are obvious. She Is more exposed &

The Mikasa, enc of the great ships
Of the world, has been destroyed; and

This calamity is a loss not only to
Japan, but to humanity at large.

the magnificent bravery and splendid
seamanship of the japanese, condoles

Houston and Goo-Goo Eues
The liberty of Irritation has been
abridged by the city fathers of Hous-
ton, Tex. They have passed an ordi-
nance couched in the following terms:

Section 1.-That hereafter any male
person in the city of Houston who shall
stare at. or make what is commonly
called goo-goo'' eyes al, or in anY
other manner look at or make remarks
10 0T concerning, or cough or whistle at
or DO any other act to attract the at
tention of any female person upon the
streets of Houston, with the intent or
In manner calculated TO annoy. or to
attempt TO fiirt with any such female
person. shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and upon conviction thereof
IN the corporation court be fined any
sum not TO exceed Si00
That is the first section of the law:
what its other provisions may be has
been mercifully hidden from us. But
enough is shown to indicate the stern
temper Of those rigid Texan moralists.
The Houston solons will be indors-
ed by all right-thinking people. men
and women, for their condemnation
Of staring, or making "goo-goo" eyes,
or coughing, or whistling at female
persons on the street. Staring is bad
manners, making "goo-goos" is lack
of sense, and as for coughing OF
whistling at female persons, that
must be a local development peculiar
10 Houston. Certainly other cities OF
the South know nothing of Irritation
! by coughs
But our admiration for this law Is
tempered by the reflection that it is
unfair. in that it applies only to male
| f1irts. and not only forbids males tC
make 'goo-goo" eyes at ANY female
person." but adds. "or in any other
manner look att such female person
Now, If the female persons" of Hous
ton are as lovely and attractive as We
have been led TO believe, there will b,
much trouble in enforcing this law
Indeed, the law is doomed TO an early
demise, and there is no need to fea
that the youth of Houston will pas
the fair beauties of that town witt
averted eyes.
Are we TO understand that hereafte
in the city of Houston all the flirtinj
will, by order Of the council, be don
by the said female persons? Are W
to believe that in the free city o
Houston the ladies only are to hav
full liberty to make ''goo-goos, or t
whistle, stare, and cough at the othe
sex? Perish the thought and amen
the law If there is an F street i
Houston the youth of that city vii
| still regard the charms of the ladie:
| ''or in any other manner look at" tn
same.

Editorials.

This paper has received a request
from a bright young man for "infor-
maticn concerning the style most
desirable in an editorial writer" and
what course of reading should be
pursued preparatory to entering jour
nalism as a profession?" He adds a
little of what Sam Slick used TO call
sort sawder," and concludes as fol-
lows:
What I need most is practical advice
Unfortunately l am not acquainted with
any professional journalist.
The compliment implied by our cor
respondent is gratefully received and
we will endeavo: TO show appreciation
by answering him as best we can
