SATURDAY. APRIL IS, 1905.
LEAVING THE NAVY.

The fact that fully ten per cent og the enlisted men in the American navy desert every year is a serious question. and one for which no remedy has yet been found. It is stated as A fact that when Admiral Evans's squadron reached Pensacola a short time ago 500 of his sailors deserted. Whether they left for good. or whether some of them merely went off for a spree we do not know. but the fact remains that the number stated actually deserted, and whether any of them voluntarily returned or not makes no difference so far as the actual crime of desertion is concern ed.
 The statement is made that in no other navy in the world is there such a large percentage of assertions as there is in ours. and there must be cause for it. It may be that the punishment for that offense is more severe in other navtes than in ours, and it may like- wise be fact that discipline Is more strict elsewhere, but that still does not explain such wholesale desertion. If we @EO SoNEcSIly AntoTulSu the Ire or Sall- prs on American ships is much moro endurable now than formerly, and more so than 1t is in most foreign navies, but still they desert. The Hartford Times gives as one explanation the fact that there are too many opportunities on land for men to earn better wages in this country, and that as soon as the glamour of wearing naval uniform has been lost the sailor men prefer to take their chances on shore, even at the risk of being arrested and court martialed for breaking their oaths."
 This may be an explanation but it offers no remedy except that of doub- ling or trebling their pay. That is a remedy that our government will hardly apply, for the naval payroll is already a very large one. and to pay seamen such wages as would remove ali temptation to leave the service In order to obtain better pay would be an expensive experiment for Unclo Sam. When all the ships now in contempla- ton are finished 1t is estimated that a force of at least s0,o00 men will be needed to man them, and if the percent age of assertions keeps up that will cause a need of 5000 new men each year. saying nothing of the losses by death or discharges. It is certainly a serious question to be solved.

North Carolina and Old Virginia have been having a hammer-and-tongs time of 1t recently, all on account of an in- scription on the monument recently erected on Appomattox battle field in honor of the soldiers of the former State. On one side of the monument is an inscription which reads: First at Bethel Farthest to the front at Get
 tysburg and chicamauga Last at Ap- pomattox." This inscription has riled the virginians, who look on it as an effort to corner more of the glory than the Tar Heelers are entitled to. It does sound boastful, 1t is true, but the Vir- ginians should reflect that there is glo- ny enough for all, and let 1t go at that.

We move that the records be exam ined to see who was elected Vice-Pres- ldent, since the President insists on killing rattlesnakes. hunting mountain lions. tracking bears, with lot of new hunters liable to shoot wild at any time. Some may remember who the Vice-President is--if we have one-and it is good idea to oil him up.

White people frequently complain of the distance that children have to. go to reach the school-house in rural dis tricts, but they may take lessoh from some of the Indian wards of the nation. An Indian teacher named Higheagle, who is a graduate of Hampton Insti- tute Is teaching in day school among the Sioux in North Dakota, and here is part of a letter from him to friend:
 have thirty pupils on my rolls. boys and girls, ages between ten and twen- ty years. They live from one to six miles from school. and they have to walk that distance every day. I find they are very regular in attendance. During the Winter in the worst blizzard (for you know something of North Da- same. Some of them are poorly off in clothing, still they don't seem to mind that. The younger children sometimes come on their mothers or grandmoth- CTS backs.
 Half-clothed Indian children. trudg- ing through snow and blizzards six miles to get an education Is an exam pie of perseverance and determination in obtaining book knowledge that does credit to our red brethren. White chill dren could not and would not endure such hnrdships, and should not be ex- pected to do SO. They lack the dogged stoicism of the Indian. as they lack his patience under difficulties. They surpass the white in those respects

Picnic Season at Hand.

From now on through the summer, said a street car conductor, the parks and woodland about Montgomery VIII be the scenes of picnics and children galore will enjoy that, particular pleas ure which appeals to. almost all per sons when the spring times comes around every calendar year. :.
 Wagons, street cars and even rail- road train doaches will be pressed into service to take merry picnic parties to the scenes of stheir scamperings ana festivals and more deviled ham and pickles will be disposed of by the re- tail grocer during the next four months than has been sold in the last eight months. The smaller children will in sist on some spot for the picnic where there Is a nearby branch for wading IS one of the chief pleasures of a day in the woods and muddy little shoes will not be uncommon among group or youngsters returning from days out ing.
 Young Nfmrods will also be in evil dence and by some chance small un- fortunate little fish may dangle proud ly some afternoons from string held by some of these young fishermen. Some accidents will happen, but 1t is to be hoped that none of them will be serious and that Young Montgomery will have all his picnic fun without catching malaria or getting into water that is over his head"

Something Of AnaIogies.

T very often strike upon analogies between men and words" said citi- gen yesterday. The analogy which believe nearly everybody has ex. perienced Is the frequent recurrence ol men and words after you have come to know them. To illustrate, let us say we meet by introduction a gentleman by the name of c. After the introduc- ton we run across him on the streets every now and then and wonder that although he has been in Montgomery for perhaps three years and you the same length of time, you do not re- member having seen him before.
 Take likewise a certain word whose meaning you have just learned TOT the first time. The word seems to recur quite often In the course of your reao- ing whereas before looking up the im- port you probably did not rememper having ever seen it before. But the definition once fixed in your mind you not only begin to use 1t but hear ana read 1t occasionally.
 Tt only shows the ability or men 10 grasp the acquaintance of few here and few there of both men and words. The man and word were seen on tne average as often or heard as frequently before acquaintance, but were not marked by the eye or ear until the personalities and the meaning were made clear to you. It Is mucn the same as scanning a cluster or leaves, admiring the whole, but paying no particular attention to a specimen.
