A KNOCKER KNOCKED.
Organizer of the Railroad Rump
Booked for n Roast.


Mr.. ID. NJ. Parry. whose obstreperous
personality makes itself evident wherever
there is an opportunity for a scrap" seems
to have inserted his foot in it ND to his
Joint at Chicago. Mr.. Parry made himself
the spokesman of the rump convention and
was very loud in his denunoiation of the
presidents policy "of confiscation." He
got considerable railroad applause and a
hand or two from a number Of manufac-
turers who thought he represented The Ma
tional Manufacturers association, OF which
he is president.
But It would seem as though the uues-
ton that remains to be settled is whether
Mr. Parry did represent the association
number OF members of the Michigan
branch believe he did not They have called
a conference which will pass upon the
question of Mr. Parry's right to represent
them. The chances are that when this
conference is heard from it will become
known that Mr.. Parry did not represent
Michigan. The presidents policy has many
friends i'm that state. In fact, the presi-
dents stirring up the railroad-rate question
has been of the greatest benefit to the
state. The outrageous charges of the
refrigerating car lines which had taken all
the profit out of fruit-growing in the
state, have been reduced since the president
began his campaign. The Pere Marquette
railroad has abrogated an offensive con-
tract with the Armours, and fruit-growers
are beginning to breathe again in Miohi-
gan. Other lines Of business naturally
syhpathize with this great state industry
The indignation over Mr.. Parry's per-
Torrance at Chicago is therefore. general
and will make itself felt One trouble with
Mr.. Parry is that he looks upon every
7 IL Ii Il
personal and sacred views, and he goes in
the air over It. Whatever is not in ac-
cord with his preconceived views is Grim
inal socialism. He has been able 10 blum
some people on the map, but when he
goes against the president representing a
policy of law and order versus monopoly,
he has probably undertaken more than ma
ture intended should be imposed upon his
capacity.

NAVAL NEEDS.

The report OF Rear Admiral Rae in
regard to the engineering need of the
navy is somewhat discouraging, though
the situation is not beyond remedy.
That officer points out that there is
great deficiency in the engineering force
of the navy and suggests that If the
country should be suddenly plunged into
war the navy would be IN a most serious
condition. BY way Of solving the diff
ficulty he suggests that all the younger
officers OF the line have engineering
duty first in a subordinate capacity
and their record must show their ability
before being placed in charge of the
engines of any vessel. He would have
engineering rank, in the matter Of pro-
motions, before seamanship, gunnery
and navigation. He also recommends
that there be engineering specialists,
thereby providing experts for the needs
of the navy.
We have made very great progress
in the building up OF our navy and
have just reason for pride in what has
been accomplished. We have reached
third rank I'm the number of ships and
tonnage and within the next few years
will probably be in the second place.
But it appears that In some respects we
have not been as careful in providing
for the efficiency of the naval estab-
lishment as we should have been. The
weakness pointed out in regard to the
engineering force is not the only defect.
There is a lack of qualified officers for
the ships that are going into commits
sion and there is not an over-supply OF
seamen. In short, the existing condi-
tons suggest that in the event of war
the navy would be found so deficient
in vital respects that only a part of II
would be available. so that while our
naval rank in ships and tonnage is third
among the naval nations, In efficiency
we must actually be rated at fourth or
fifth.
This is manifestly a condition which
must not ne allowed 10 continue. II
is the imperative duty Of congress 10
make provision for remedying the ex-
isting defects just as soon as it is pos
sible TO do So Our navy must be made
complete in all its parts. 1t must have
the necessary number OF oficers all the
engineers that are required and an
ample force OF sesmen- II is useless to
go on building ships unless ample pro
vision is made for offering and man
ming them Ii Is expected that Presi-
dent Roosevelt viii in his annual mes
sage again urge that the government
shall go on adding to the navy. The
very general sentiment Is that this
: should be done. PROFESSIONALLY a very
