Need Of a Navy.

Never since the beginning of our coun-
try's history has the navy been used in an
unjust war;. Never has it failed to render
great and sometimes vital service to the
republic 1t has not been too strong for
our good tho often not strong enough to
do all the good it should have done. Our
possession of the Philippines. our inter-
est in the trade of the orient, our build
ing the isthmian canal, our insistence
upon the Monroe doctrine, all demand that
our navy shall be of adequate size and
Tor Its size of unsurpassed EFFICIENCY. If
1t IS strong enough I believe it will mini
lnize the chance of our being drawn into
foreign war. If We let it run down. it is
as certain as the day that sooner or later
we shail nave to choose between a prob
ABLY disastrous foreign war or a peace
Kept on terms that imply national hl1nil
latlon. Our navy is the surest guaranty
OF peace and the cheapest insurance
against war, and those who in whatever
capacity, have helped TO build it up dur
ing the past twenty years have beer in
good faith observing and living up to one
OF the most important Of the principles
which Washington laid down for the g,,i-
dance of his countrymen. Nor was Wash
lngton the only one of our great presidents
VINO showed far-sighted patriotism nv
support OF the navy When Andrew Jack
son was IN congress he voted for the first
warshlps we ever built as part of our
regular navy; and he voted against the
grant OF money to pay our huniliatine
tribute to the pirates Of the Barbary
states. Old Hickory was a. patriot tb,.i,
and thru, and there was not an ounce of
t1m1dity in his nature, and Of course he
felt only indignant contempt for a, policy
which purchased an ignoble peace by cow
ardice instead of exacting a just peace bv
showing we were as little willing to sub
NIT to as to infiict aggression. Had a
majority Of Jackson's colleagues and sue
cessors telt as he did about the navy, had
it been built up instead of being hroue.h+
to standstill, it would probably never
have been necessary to fight the war OF
1872. =

or as u.s. and should be, more often the
case, by voluntary action among pri-
vate citizens, for the betterment of our
own people. Observe that Washington
speaks both of justice and benevolence,
and that he puts justice first. We must
be generous, we must help our poorer
brother, but above all we must remember
to be just; and the first step toward Sc
curing justice is to treat every man on
his worth as a man, showing him no
special favor, but so far as may be hold
ing open for him the door Of opportunity
SO that reward may wait upon honest
and intelligent endeavor.
Again Washington said: Cherish pub

no attack on public credit, but If ever
the temptation arises again let our peo-
pie at the outset remember that the
worst because the most insidious form of
the dishonest debtor is that man who
would persuade him that it is anything
but dishonest for him to repudiate his
debts.

Washington's Maxims.

Among Washington's maxims which he
bequeathed to his 4countrymen were the
two following: "Observe good faith and
justice toward all nations" and ITO he
prepared for war is the most effective
means to promote peace These - two
principles taken together should form the
basis Of our whole foreign policy. Neither
is sufficient taken by itself. 1t is not
merely an idle dream, but a most mis-
chievous dream, to believe that nero re-
framing from Wrongdoing will insure us
against being Wronged. \ Yet on the
other hand, a nation prepared for war is
a menace to mankind unless the national
purpose Is to treat other nations with good
faith and justice. In any community it
is neither the conscientious man who is q
craven at heart, nor yet the bold and
strong man without the moral sense who
is Of real use to the community; it is the
man who to strength and courage adds a
realizing sense of the moral obligation
resting upon him, the man who has not
only the desire but the power to do his
full duty by his neighbor and by the state
So, in the world at large, the nation which
is Of use in the progress of mankind is
that nation which combines strength of
character, force of character and .insis-
tence upon it's own rights. with a full ac-
acknowledgement Of its own duties toward
others. Just at present the best way in
which We can show that our loyalty to the
teachings Of Washington is loyalty of
the heart and not of the lips only is to see
to it that the work of building I'D our
navy goes steadily on, and that at the
same time our stand for international
righteousness is clear and emphatic.

Washington and Lincoln.

Washington, tho in some ways an even
greater man than Lincoln, did not have
Lincoln's wonderful gift of expression
that gift which makes certain speeches
of the rail-splitter from Illinois read like
the inspired utterances Of tho great He
brew seers and prophets. But he had
all of Lincolns sound common sense, far
sightedness and devotion to a lofty ideal.
Like Lincoln he sought after the noblest
objects, and like Lincoln he sought after
them by thoroly practical methods. These
two great Americans can fairly be called
the best among the great men Of the
world, and greatest among the good men
of the world. Each showed in actual prac-
tice his capacity to secure under our sys-
tenn the priceless union of individual lib
erty with governmental strength. Each
was as free from the vices of the tyrant as
from the vices of the demagogue. To
each the empty futility of the mere doctri-
naire was as alien as the baseness of the
merely self-seeking politician: Each was
incapable alike OF the Wickedness which
seeks by force Of arms to wrong others
and of no less criminal weakness which
fails to provide effectively against being
Wronged by others.

found on or near the coast except in the
island Of Luzon, where about half the
people live IN the two rich valleys In
the interior. Only One-seventh Of the
civilized population live inland, but the

In the archipelago there are 1900
barrios, or villages, with an average
population of 500 inhabitants. The
average size Of the barrio varies wide

adjacent barrios form pueblo, or mu-

the population live In villages Of less

He is in his seventy-fifth year.
The story of how the rulership OF
Sarawak came into the hands of the
Brooke family is a romantic one. 1t
was brought about by the adventures
Of the uncle Of the present Tajah. In
1888 James Brooke, then thirty-five
years of age, having retired wounded
from military service in India, char
tered a small yacht and with crew Of
twenty men sailed away Co the far east
in search of adventures. 1t happened
that he reached Sarawak while Il big
rebellion was on. Throwing in his lot
with the reigning sultan, he brought
order out of chaos and was himself
appointed Hiah of the province he had
rescued from anarchy.
After a successful rule. his health
gave way, and forty years ago his
nephew succeeded him. The regent is
thirty years of age and has resided in

On Chewing Food.

The case of Horace Fletcher, the
health culturist, is an interesting ex-
ample of what abstinence in diet and
intelligent exercise Of the muscles will
do for a person. While still a young
man, Mr.. Fletcher found himself a
physical wreck, a victim to three
chronic diseases. His health was so
poor that no life insurance company
would accept the risk on him.
Concluding that one Of the troubles
with himself, as with a great many
others, lay in eating too much, Mr..
Fletcher carved out a system Of living
for himself and by sticking to it faith
fully became cured. He found that
considerably less than the average NOR
tai considers sufficient to support life
was ample for his needs. After five
years Of his self cure he was able to
make prOdigiOus runs on his bicycle
and astOnished physical experts by the
ease with which he performed the Sc
verest forms Of exercise. One Of Mr..
Fletcher's cardinal maxims Of health
relates to chewing the food. He thinks
all food, not only solids, but milk,
soup and oatmeal, should be manipu-
lated with the tongue to the vanishing
point.
