OF the inspection. The government has
footed the entire bill Tie cost of the
labels alone amounts to s65, 600 and
. if this were saved to the department and
a small fee charged for the services of the
inspectors, it wonld be a great saving and
would enable a much larger force of in

There are four new cruisers in Admiral

tree, however, the Pennsylvania, the
Colorado, and the West Virginia, are the

these three shall be assigned the duty
Of escortirg the President. He will
probably sail on the West Virginia, she

HIS Respect For the Scriptures.


A certain and favorite Junior officer
in the United States navy had for a
considerable time observed that the
admiral always removed his uniform
coat and donned one of less preten-
siOns when he read his Bible on Sun
day mornings. He often wondered why
the commander Of the flagship should
do so strange a thing, and so one day,
when the good humor of the admiral
permitted the great amount of freedom
such a question would require, he
asked:
admiral, will you tell me why you
always remove your uniform coat be-
fore you open your Bible for Sunday
mornings readingY'
The admiral lifted his eyes and
gravely stared the young officer in the
face. His smile was more beatifc than
forbidding.
Lieutenant I remove my uniform
coat before reading the Bible because
I can never give the Lord of Hosts the
proper amount of respect and adora-
ton with the stripes of an admiral en-
bracing the arms that support the BIZ
ble."
It was a question of the pride of his
heart-which was in his admirars
stripes the love he held
for his Maker when he would render
his devotion to him.-LippincOtts Mag

Mineral FOUND
IN cEYLoN

LONDON. Feb. 21.--A new mineral.
valued at $50 per hundredweight. has
been discovered In Ceylon. The fact
is recorded In the report on the re-
suits of the mineral survey in the
island, just issued. which states that
IA sample which was supposed to he
uraninite. or pitchblende. proves, on
complete analysis, to he new min
eral, which IL is proposed to name
'thorianite," Its principal constitu-
ent is oxide of thorium. of which It
contains 7622 per cent, an amount
far higher than that of any mineral
known hitherto. Thoria, which is
used in the manufacture of incan-
descent gas nantes, is scarce, and is
at present chiefly extracted from the
monazite sands of Brazil. "Thnria-
nite.' adds the report. is also radio
active, and a footnote to the report
states. on the authority of Sir Will
linn Ramsay. that radium is present
IN the mineral, and that 1t furnishes

there was more money for him in
that fight than any go he could have
with Mccarthy. In fact, he was
banking on that go to secure money
enough to buy saloon, the negotia-
tions for which were practically
closed and only awaited the money
he would get as a winenr, or loser,
Of the Burrows match, to add to his
Mccarthy winnings.
1t doesn't look reasonable that a
man would throw away such chances
to go down to Walla Walla to try
for job as a prison guard.
O o o
TO this must be added the positive
statement that Jack Reilly Is hon
est. Anyone who was with him
through his period Of tough luck
after the fight with Burrows and the
arrest Of his brother, Tommy, knows
Of what timber Jack Is made up.
There were dozen different chances
for him TO help himself and his
brother by doing what savored of
dishonesty There are Il dozen men
who will tell you that he Quietly
sidestepped every offer Of such sort
Of assistance. without even Offering
an excuse Of honesty, or blowing
about trying to be square.

closely connected with that action of
Jacks, | would take his single word

of dope being used, is the man VINO

O o .
Goodman made the statement last
night that Reilly asked him to work
as Il second and that he put Reilly
off until he could ask his wife about
1t. Then. Goodman says. Reilly went
to his house after the fight to take
back grip and offered him SEQ
which he refused.

In the opening paragraphs of Jack
Reillys story yesterday 1T was mad
vertently written that Jack claimed
he was doped at the end Of the sec
ond round. 1t should have read that
he insisted he was dopcd at the end
Of the sixth round.
O o o
Reilly's story of being doped as
published in these columns yesterday
created q big sensation in sporting
circles and. Notwithstanding the
frantic dcnials Of the second accused
by Reilly OF doing the dirty work
and his attempt to show that the
fight was fixed for Reilly to lose,
there are hundreds who are inclined
to believe the dope story.
% o o
don't think the declaration that
the fight was fixed will be given much
crcdencc by any except those 10
whose interests 1t would be to lay
the blame on Reilly and Mccarthy.
A bunch Of men accused Of such
dirty work would naturally try to
dodge the charge and would be ex-
pectcd to try some scheme to turn
attention from themselves, although
II Is true that talk Of fixing" was
prevalent for n couple of days be-
fore tho fight.
o o %
But If that fight was fixed through
an arrangement for Reilly to go
down, 1t was the clcvcrcst, most
skilful piece OF work ever done In
the ring.
There's not "A man of fairness, i'm
Partially and knowledge of tho
lighting game who attended that
fight who would not say that both
men were doing their best under the
circumstances, Anyone who saw
Reilly In that seventh round and
watched him closely could not hon
estly say that he was shnmming, or
that he willingly left the openings
for Jerry There's too much differ
cncc between the sham and the real
thing.
OF course tncfe is IA possibility OF
one man agreeing 20 allow himself
to be knocked out--but IL could be
done much easier than in taking two

side Parties to such an agreement
would naturally be afraid of discov-

For my part, | believe there was
too much at stake on either side
for any other than n straight fight

Reilly would have made more
money by whipping jerry the first
time than waiting to do II in n sec
ond bout. The reason for this is
that n close agreement had been made
for n fight between Reilly and Jim

Answer to a Woman

"a woman subscriber" puts some questions directly
to the editor of this newspaper the first of which is this
care you in favor of equal sufrage?'
To which question we hasten to reply as gallantlv as
may be, YES, MA'AM.
Supplementary, the querist says: ''Please give your
reasons"
Certainly.
In the first place, equal surage-fortunatey named
is right 1t the duty of free government to give express
sion to all the units of that and is the natural
right of the units to thus express Themselves
Now the day has gone by when the family may be con
sldered the unit of government That idea belongs to the
patrIarcha age The unit of democratic government is
the individual And the individual woman should count
for as much in government as the individual man.
Whether no ''Wmaon Subscriber is equal suf-
fragist is not apparent from the following final query
"Do you believe society would Immediately solve some
of its moral problems through equal suffrage. If how
do you account for the political corruption in Colorado
and other states where women vote?'
1t may be seriously doubted if the introduction of
men to the ballot box would Immediately transform bad
society into good society The evidences all against
Mt
But that is not the of the question:
The Of equal suffrage must be placed upon higher
ground than eSpediency. Here is the fundamental thing
in the argument:
NO FREE GOVERNMENT CAN REACH IT'S HIGH
EST AND BEST DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT GIVING
ALL IT'S UNITS FREE EXPRESSION AT THE BAL
LOT Bon.
Civic health and civic progress can only come through
tcipaton. Democracy, if it shall succeed must broaden
rather than narrow its scope and purpose.
The equality of the and the before the law
is the natural step forward in the evolution OF free gov
eminent.
That mutual participation is normal mutual par
ticipaton IN the government of the home In order to
make ideal home the and the must o.
operate equally SO in order to make ideal govern
ment there must be cooperation of man and woman.
Let the Just demand for the legal equality of be
kept on this high plane and its propaganda must uIti-
maely succeed
No legal and moral wrongin this AEGEAN fail of Il
hearing and remedy.
In the of human events became necessary to
declare to the world that s. ALL MEN born free and
equal Two wars necessary to maintain that dcclar
alton. But today, and i'll this country far legal
acment is concerned the principle It's practical
outworkng will take time but the principle settled
And will it be of equal suffrage Agitation and cdu
cation will make it necessary to declare that GALL MEN
and ALI. WOMEN are born free and equal" And then,
without the bloodshed the principle will be embodied in
the laws. AS in the other great emancipation the prac
teal outworkngs and benefits will later appear
Let the advocates of equality stick to the principles!
Keep the issue up high-whcre it bclongs-on the
plane of Right and Duty
