EDITORIAL OPINION
A reat of the Modem WarshIp..

A Test Of the Modern Warship.
From the Chicago News.
1t was Inevitable that the drawing to-
gether Of the Russian and Japanese fleets
should have tempted comparison between
the inpondlns struggle IN the Orient and
the famous battle of Trafalgar. I'm the
formidable dimensions of the fleets en-
gagged, as in the momentous consequences
which depend upon the outcome, the con-
nict between TOGO and Roiestyensky may
take precedence In historic interest over
any naval struggle thus far known.
OF equal interest and of considerably
more practical importance Is the fact that
during the lighting prcsaged in the de-
velopments of the last few days the world
may have it's first opportunity TO witness
a pitched battle, or possibly two or three
such battles. between large fleets OF ves-
sells Of the modern type RoiestvensSy' s
squadron Is not well balanced. and his
crews are supposed TO be lacking in skin
and training. Togo's ships, though fewer
in number, are presumably In excellent
condition and are manned by experienced
veterans under the command of a proved
master Of tho art of sea lighting. The fact
remains that IN size and equipment both
fleets are products OF the modern science
Of navy building and include some spcci-
mems which represent the last word OF
modern naval science.
Toso's battles at Port Arthur are be-
lieved 10 have taught many useful lessons
as to the relative value of certain GLASSES
of lighting ships The actions at Port Ar-
thur were fought under conditions which
did not admit of perfect test and los
fleets which, owing 10 the lack Of disci-
pline ON the Russian side were unevenly
matched. lf Rojestvcnsky has hecn using
his time TO good advantage In discipnnina
his crews and a pitched battle Is fought
in a place where both sides can hav,
room to manoeuvre, the present ensage
ment should have some important lesson'
for the worlds naval experts.

MEN. MOI PLEDGES.

TN AN Interesting and instructive lot
Il ter to the sunday Star Francis l..
DUPONT explains the purposes Of the
initiative and referendum. A great
deal Of it is sound in theory. and may
also be good in practice; but there is
one sentiment ia the letter which we
cannot indorse
If the voter instead OF asking. who
Is likely 10 be electedT' would ask:
what are those who are elected likely
to dor we would soon see "a much
more healthy growth OF politics.
1t has always seemed 70 us that
men are more important than plat
forms. that their characters are worth
more to the voter IN deciding the ma
ture OF his ballot than any campaign
pledges.
And il really occurs TO us that any
"heaithy growth i'm politics. must come
from placing In Office men whom in
advance we know we can trust And
how can we know what man is like
~ TO do Ia ONCE unless we know our
man. and in local elections or in State
elections of a commonwealth of this
size this is possible.
How often We have sent men to the
Legislature. trusting them 10 do a cer-
tain thing and feeling that they would
do it because Of personal or party
pledges. only to have them betray us
because they lacked character?
Back Of organized society, at the
very foundation of church and state
are men. individuals that stand for
rectitude and advancement or for tho
reverse, just because they are Of a GER
tain type.
1t is also a fact that the man who
wants the office the worst is the mar
most prodigal Of his promises. Blu.
when once intrenched i'm power he car
md a hundred excuses for evading his
duty, or he may snap his fingers at hi,
constituents.
But there is another serious obiec.
ton to the theory that we should know
in advance all that a man in Office s.
likely to do-if he is an honest. inde
pendent man IL ties his hands: it take
away his individuality. He is merel,
cog in the governmental machine.
He cannot discuss measures wiu
his colleagues. and IN the light tha

Contractors have finished the work of
building two sets of quarters for the
soldiers at Ft Mott, Finn's Point, N. j..
and the new buildings are as well equip
ped and as complete as any that can be
found at any coast defense fortincation.
On tho first floor Of the quarters are
the dining room. kitchen, reading room
and barber shop; ON the second floor is
a large bunk room and three smaller
rooms for the sergeants. The lavatory
and toilets are located i'm the basement.
The building will be heated by steam and
lighted by electricity. The men moved
into their new quarters on Friday and
are much pleased with the accommoda-
tons afforded them. In a short time the
work Of erecting quarters for bachelor
officers, quarters for married officers and
large stable will begin.
AT present the 42nd Heavy Coast Ar
ullery, under command of Captain Glas-
sow and los men strong is the only COM

that the 18th which was formerly at
Fort DUPONT and which has been sta
toned at ST. Louis since the opening Of
fair Will be ordered to the fertilization.

which is considered one of tho most de-

NEW PLAN DISCUSSED \
BY MILK PRODUCERS
Committee Appointed to
Consult Capitalists About
Establishing Depot

There was another interesting meeting
of the Milk Producers Association oD
saturday afternoon, when the question
of selling their milk direct TO the con-
sumer by establishing a milk depot here
came up for discussion. The following
committee was appointed to ascertain if
it is possible to interest capitalists i'm tho
project TO establish a depot and sell di-
rect to the consumer thereby cutting out
the retailer: John AlcElwoe, Charles
Gnhth and Henry c. Mahary.
The association was organized several
months ago for the purpose of increasing
the wholesale price Of milk, but no agree
ment TO that end has ever been reached
with the retailers. AT the meeting on
April n, the question of the producers
retailing their product through a gem
eral depot came up for the first time, but
was laid over until last Saturday
When the meeting was called TO order
by President Weldin on Saturday the dis
cussion was renewed. NJ was brought out
that such a project would require con-
siderable capital and that the members
had not sufficient money to put into it,
This led to the appointment of the COM
mittee named.
John O'Neil made a short address on
the subject stating he thought the as
sociation was getting away from its
original purpose. He said I'VE should go
slow. for it takes cash to operate such a
scheme. Men have TO be employed and
teams kept and we have not the money
to carry ON the business Here we tell
ourselves there is chance to clear $4,000
a man in twenty years, but we must in
vestigate carefully"
Charles Griffith said it would require
men with money 20 get back Of the
scheme. The retailers, he said, believe the
Milk Producers Association is a trust TO
drive them out of business
The question will be discussed again
next week. A motion 10 have a commit
tee Of three appointed to confer with the
retailers was laid over until next week.

aJoEr JEFFERSON.

a O ACTOR OF our generation has
"A held so large a share of the af-
fections OF the American people as
Joseph jefferson. who has just died at
Palm Beach. And there was a sub
stantial reason for it. He was not
only a great artist but very much Of
man.
He represented school OF acting
that is dying out giving place TO
something whose permanent value is
yet open to question. His art, too, was
not confined to stage representations.
He could play rip or Bob Acres in
imltably and then in his leisure mo-
ments put on canvas the beautiful
scenes of Buzzard's Bay or a bit of
the Florida coast.
And when a number Of years ago
one or ne masazlnes began TO pub
llsh his autobiography we found that
he was also an artist with the pen,
FOR these meoirs are intensely inter-
esting and possess a decidedly liter
airy touch.
But Jefferson was loved because he
was so wholesome-on the stage and
or. There was never an improper
suggestion in one Of his plays, never a
doctrine from his lips that was not
good TO live BY. A--t-- ---
Booth Barrett F1urence, Mrs. Drew,
Mrs. Gilbert--all OF his old associates
had gone, and now jefferson passes in
TO the realm OF the immortals. How
the scenes Of the old Arch Street come
back--Florence. with his sugar-loaf hat
his rich broeue, his "long sword, sad
die, bridle," and Mrs. Malaprop and.
Irresistible Bob--it is but memory
now, but a very pleasant and tenacious
memory.

ONE MAN KILLED
IN AUTO CRASH
Charles P. Rosters Machine
Ran Into Billboard
Fence
TWO WOMEN WERE INJURED

New York, April 24-One man was
killed and two women badly hurt when
a big sightseeing automobile, crowded
with passengers, crashed into a high
bill board fence at Eighth avenue and
57th street. The streets were thronged
with Easter promenaders at the time
Of the accident, and police reserves had
to be called out to keep the crowd in
check. The chauffeur of the machine
asserts it was struck by an Eighth
avenue trolley car, was skidded along
the tracks and that in this way he tenn
pOrarily lost control of the brakes.
The big automobile plunged across the
sidewalk and into the fence with great
force.
Charles p Roster, q years old. a
business man of this city, was killed
and Miss Anna Zimmerman, IS years
old, and Mrs. Angelina Romano, As
years old, were injured.
Roster and Miss Zimmerman were on
the front seat of the automobile. They
were engaged to be married, the cere-
mony being set for next week. Mrs
Romano was seated in a little fruit
stand near the corner of the fence
and when both stand and fence were
demolished by the automobile she was
caught and crushed beneath the falling
timbers.
More than 40 persons were on the
heavy vehicle when the accident took
place, and that more were not injured
is regarded as remarkable The auto
mobile is one of half hundred used
in this city to convey visitors from out
of town to points Of interest about the
city.
Following the collision between the
street car and the automobile the ex-
citement among the passengers, many
Of whom We're women. was so great it
is impossible to determine whether
Roster and Miss Zimmerman were
hurled from their places or whether
they jumped from the vehicle as they
saw an accident was unavoidable,
Rosters skull was fractured and he
died within a few minutes.
The injured We're taken to Roosevelt
hospital. where it is said they would
recover.

Kent county Almshouse.

The recent investigation into the af-

the newly elected trustees Of that in

on the Republican administration,
while the custom OF disbursing the

practice long before the Republican

views in any particular--he must vote
as per Instructions. even though TO do
so is to trouble his conscience over the
oath he has taken.
Such an idea is opposed to the rep
resentative theory. for a man is not
presumed to represent the temporary
Views of his constituents only; he
must represent himself. and particulat-
ly that part Of himself which consti-
tutes his life record-what he has said
and done-what he is. and what his
constituents knew him to be when they
placed him in office
Some Of our most glorious pages re-
cord the breaking away Of strong,
manly men from the thralldom Of that
sentiment which elected them. 1t was
so when the Delaware Legislature with
la Democratic majority sent John M.
clayton, the great whig, back to the
Senate. They chose man. and not a
bunch Of pledges. And when at the
outbreak Of the war the late Wilson l..
Cannon, OF Dover voted to refuse "a

from the South he did not follow the
wishes OF his constituents, nor the
opinion which obtained in his district
when he was nominated, but ne follow

his decision has been amply justified.
