Necessity for the Navy.

Never since the beginning of our
countrys history has the navy been
used in 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,
though often not strong enough to do
all the good it should have done.
Our possession of the Philippines,
our interest in the trade of the ORR
ent. our building the Isthmian canal,
our insistence upon the Monroe doc
trine all demand that our navy shall
be of adequate size and for its size
of unsurpassed efficiency. If it is
strong enough I believe it will mini

practical methods. These two great
est 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 practice his capacity to secure
under our system the priceless union
Of individual liberty with government
tai 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 doctrinaire
was as alien as the baseness of the
merely self-seeking politician. Each
was incapable alike of the wicked
ness which seeks by force of arms to
wrong others and of the no less Grim
nal weakness which fails to provide
effectively against being wronged by
others.
Among Washington's maxims which
he bequeathed to his countrymen
were the two following: "Observe
good faith and justice toward all ma
tions," and ITO be prepared for war
is the most effective means to pro-
mote peace" These two principles
taken together should form the basis
of our whole foreign policy. Neither
is sufficient taken by itself. It is not
merely an idle dream, but a most
mischievous dream, to believe that
mere refraining from wrongdoing will
insure us against being wronged. Yet
on the other hand, a nation prepared
for war is a menace to mankind un-
less the national purpose is to treat
other nations with good faith and
justice. In any community 1t is neith-
er the conscientious man who is a
craven at heart, nor yet the bold and
strong man without the moral sense,
who is of real use to the community;
1t 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 COM
bines strength of character. force of
character, and insistence upon its
own rights, with a full acknowledge
ment 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 a loyalty
of the heart and not of the lips only,
is to see to it that the work of build
ing up our navy goes steadily on,
and that at the same time our stand
for international righteousness is clear
and emphatic.

When the killing occurred on
Willis Creek a notice of the same
was made in the News at the
time. But a minister, who re-
sides in Russell county, called at
this office after the paper was out,
stating that the publication in our
paper was incorrect; that he was
present when the killing occurred
and requested that we give his
version of it, and we did so.
The News is about as we'll ac-
quainted in Cumberland as the
editor of the Herald. It is fine
producing county, and it is popu-
lated by some Of the best of people
many of whom are our personal
friends. We would be far from
making a statement, knowingly,
that would reflect upon the citi-
zenship of Cumberland, or any
other county, unless there exist
ed such a state of affairs that
would warrant the statement.
Cumberland county and her peo-
die are all right. If the editor
of the Herald would quit growl-
ing, look out a little, get some
news in his paper, he might sue
ceed in building up a paying cir
culation.

The decision Of the Governor to appoint the commissioner was made Wednesday when a report was made to him by Assistant State Examiner w.

He Is re- quird by statute to make the appoint ment of such commissioners when he is certain that the majority of the voters are in favor of holding the election.

 With these acquittais, the long string of cases against Alexander and Tuliy came to . close.

It was alleged that the place was frequented by young men of ings were nightly occurrences.
 The place was finally raided by the po~ lice. A number of young men were found in the supposed gambling rooms. Tuily.s Alexander and other attaches of the house were arrested and fined in the Recorders Court and were afterwards indicted by the Grand Jury. Alexander was acquitted in one case in April.
 Yesterday. police officers testified as to incidents of the raid and gambling para phenaita found in the place.

But 1t is character istic of the situation that they have come together secretly, like thieves and conspirators. and that 1t Is crime even to mention them or their suggestions in the press. The auto cracy has no use for such thinkers and workers It once possessed a statesman of its own, who combined with boundless devotion to absolutism more than one mans share of intel lect and will And. like most individ- uals of that type. he believed that truth and quinine are often more wholesome than flattery and honey. and in the council chamber he acted on the conviction.

And in addition to other dificdlties he had the prejudcies of officials and the fa- naticism of monks and priests to cope with and conquer. Quickly he made headway against them all, and finally laid before the Emperor set of prop ositions striking off the letters from about 13,000, ,000 Russians, and couched in the cautious language which auto crats unwillingly forego.
