little Virginia Neill, granddaughter of
Col. G. +. Neill, drew the veil away. As

went wild with enthusiasm.

ALesson of the War.

The Army and Navy Journal dis
cussing the lessons of the Russo
japanese war for the United States,
declares that one fact that has been
clearly demonstrated is the inestima-
BILE value of a flourishing merchant
marine to 4 nation engaged in a war
which requires military expenditures
beyond the seas. Since the beginning
of the war Japan has required marine
transportation for nearly half a mil
lion men with all their equipment
and Japan has experienced no diff
Guilty in meeting the exigency. Her
transport system has been perfect, be-
cause the beginning of the war found
her with a great merchant marine.
What sort of work the United States
would have made of a like task the
story of the expedition of Skaters
little force to Cuba sufficiently indi-
Gates.
In 1898 Japan's merchant fleet had
tonnage of 10000 tons She had
no shipyards capable of heavy steel
construction. When the war with

a printer since boyhood, was long
prominent as an editor and state
printer in Iowa, was a congressman
from that state nearly forty years ago,
afterward editor of the Chicago Inter-
Ocean and postmaster of Chicago for
five years and has been public print
er for many years in several admins
trations.
While he has been growing old,
young men, who in the early years of
his management may have been mere
devils" have grown to manhood and
been placed in posts of responsibility
under him. Their ambitions increased
with their years and the head of the
Office has long been harrassed by the
Vaccinations Of those who sought to
fill his shoes. 1t was a struggle be-
tween Mr.. Palmer on one hand and
the walking delegates of the Typo
graphical union on the other that
gave Mr.. Roosevelt the opportunity to
restore Foreman Miller, who was re-
moved at the order of the union be-
cause he had no card, and to pro-
claim the governmental policy on the
open shop" and the square deal"
Arizona republican., 1905-09-12

China broke out in 1894, Japan had
not ships enough to carry her troops
to the scene of action. Every large
vessel of her navy had been built
abroad and she had no adequate ia
cilities even for repairing such yes
sells. Japan learned her lesson quick
~. In 1896 she passed a ship subsidy
law. Offering a bounty of from six
dollars TO twelve dollars per ton and
five dollars per indicated horsepower
to all sea-going steamers built in ia
pan, and a maintenance bounty rang
ing from twelve cents to thirty cents
per ton for every thousand miles sail
ed by such vessels in foreign trade.
The result is that Japan now has a
merchant marine of over 1000 900 tons
and shipyards equal to the best in
Europe. She can build her own war
ships. In a japanese shipyard a bat
tleship Of 10000 tons and a cruiser
of u 900 tons are now under construc-
ton, and ten great steamships for
ocean traffic are on the stocks at
Nagasaki. The principal steamship
company of Japan, though only few
years old, is larger than any Ameri-
can steamship company. It runs sew
enty steamships with a total tonnage
of 236. 900 tons. Another Japanese
company, operating twelve ships, re
Ceives an annual subsidy from the
japanese government equal to the
whole amount paid annually by the
United States government TO vessels
flying the American flag. Japan has
no difficulty with her transport service
in time of war. She has shipyardS
capable of turning out modern war
ships of the heaviest tonnage. She
has an enormous naval reserve to man
her ships. Her navy and her mer-
chant marine have grown up side by
side
The Army and Navy Journal is not
far wrong in its estimate that these
facts constitute the most important
lesson of the Russo-Japanese war for
the United States or for any other
nation which is building up a navy
without simultaneously building UP
its merchant marine.

And Resolution.

Whereas I KNOW that although !
sometimes act as IL thought / would
be made an exception Of by Death and
allowed to live always, or that there
was no possibility that would not
survive every human being who might
have any claim whatsoever on me, still
during my reflective moments fully
realize that while there Is a chance
that I may live to be three score and
ten, and may struggle through to the
four score mile post, also realize that
II Is possible that I may not see the
opening Of the year 1906, and that IN
case should not many things that
now hope to accomplish In the way OF
providing for those who are dependent
on me will be left undone. Therefore
Resolved That during the next
sixty days I, WILL make application
for that Life Insurance Policy about
which I have been talking and think
ing during the past several years as ]
read Sam Crisis advertisements each
week in The Enquirer, and before
making the application will know
what the Mutual Benefit Life 1nsur-
ance. Company of Newark N. j., he's
to offer, even though am put to the
trouble and expense Of writing to sam
GRIST a postal card or letter and ask
ing him to come and see me.

eg Interestin the Russo-Japanese war
now centers on the country around

leaves the Japanese forces that have
been engaged in the siege free to re-
inforce the army that Is confronting

bitter cold Weather hese forces can be
transported to Mukd m within a very
few days. 1t is air ost inconceivable
that there should pc any heavy fight

SITUATION AT PORT ARTHuR---Spec-
ial dispatches from Toxic to London
say that the Port Arthur garrison was
marshalled at 9 O'clock Thursday
morning at Yahutsui In accordance
with the terms Of the supplementary
agreement.
The Standards Port Arthur CORES
pondent reports that the town appears
to have been q little damaged by the
bombardment. Carriages and rick
shaws, he says, are moving about with
we'll dressed people who apparently
are anything but starved. The ruined
forts resemble hills shaken by a
mighty CONFUSION and in many cases
every trace Of the works has disap-
peared.
According to the Daily Mairs Wei
haiwei correspondent the British
cruiser Andromeda, which sailed from
Weihaiwei Wednesday morning fol-
Port Arthur with hospital stores and
surgeons, and which was not allowed
to make a landing at Port Arthur, had
a narrow escape, having passed two
floating mines.
Japanese officials In London consider
that 1t was solely on account Of the
danger Of the vessel striking mines
that the Andromeda's aid was de-
clined. 1t is stated, however, that the
British admiral omitted the tormality
of first asking whether assistance was
acceptable to the japanese authori-
ties.
