A PROPER FINDING.

The court martial in the case of
Midshipman Minor Meriwether, Jr.,
has rendered a verdict which has
been practically approved by Secre-
tary Bonaparte, and will receive the
endorsement Of every intelligent per-
son who has closely followed the
case. 1t will be remembered that Mid
shipman Meriwether was charged
with causing the death of Midship
man Branch by blows inflicted in a
prize fight. The findings of the court
acquit the defendant of the charge
of manslaughter, but find him
technically guilty of engaging in a
hsticuff for which he is punished by
being publicly reprimanded and con-
fined to the Naval Academy grounds
for one year, but is allowed to 60
aboard ship for practise cruises.
The findings of the court are not
commended because we justify these
methods of settling disputes, but
under the circumstances, "the code
of honor" at the Naval Academy is
such that had young Meriwether re-
fused to fight, he would have laid
himself open to the taunts of his
equals and the contempt Of his supe-
riors. So long as this brutal method
of settling disputes is tactically ap-
proved by the officials of the Naval
Academy, we must expect events of
this nature just as brutal, though
not often ending with fatal results.
We would have more cordially en-
dorsed the work of the court martial
had it properly censured, or even
punished those who are responsible
for the methods now in vogue.

1YE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents message, which
was read in Congress last week, and
made public Immediately thereafter,
is strong, able, but voluminous
document. The needs of Our country
are large, and it requires some
10000 words for Mr.. Roosevelt to in
telligently bring the same to the at
tention of our national law-making
BODY. His choice of words is excel
lent and their meaning unquestion-
able.
As was to be expected, his chief
recommendation was government
control ofrailroad rates. In preceding
messages, Mr.. Roosevelt's outlines
are strong, but the present message
is clearer, and more forcible than any
former utterances. He not only adj
vocates that rates be inspected by
department of the government. but
that there also be n national super
vision of the books and statements
of each of these corporations. He
also urges that this supervision be
extended to private car lines. indus
trial roads, refrigerator and elevator
charges.
Government by injunction, as re-
lating to the settlement of differences
Between capital and labor is also dis
Guessed. The president was in favor of
limiting the power of Federal judges
to the extent of requiring them to
pass nisi orders, giving notice to the
other side, SO as to allow an oppor-
tunity for hearing both sides should
the circumstances of the case permit.
lie urges that all kinds of insur-
ance companies be placed directly
under the government control. "The
great Insurance companies offer
striking examples of corporations
whose business is extended so far be-
yond the jurisdiction Of the states
that created them, as to preclude
strict enforcement of supervision and
regulation by parent states
The tariff question is somewhat
SHE'D at; about the only point being
a well-directed thrust at the states
that have made individual stands on
this important question.
He recommends that a publication
be made Of all campaign contribu-
tions and that contributions be pro-
hibited by corporations.
The subject of the navy is always
dear to the Presidents heart, and
while he recommends no increase in
units, yet he thinks it would be
proper to each year replace some
ancient type of ship with a modern
sea-fghter. On the subject of army
regulations, he prefers promotion by
selection instead of seniority.
Reforms in the business methcd DIS of
the different bureaus and depart
ments are especially urged. This
would have the effect of abolishing
great deal of useless red tape that
sometimes renders our public service
an absurdity.
Other recommendations made arr:
That the entire code of the United
States criminal laws and land laws
be revised; the graves of the Con-
federate dead be cared for by the
nation; the admission of Indian
Territory and Oklahoma as one
state, and Arizona and New Mexico
as another; that sufficient money be
at once appropriated tocarry on the
work of the Panama canal.
Outside of its length, the nation
should feei proud of the message as
a state document. The time will
probably come when presidents will
realize that their messages must be
shorter in order to get the average
citizen to read them. Until that

PASTORS MEET IN
REGULAR SESSION
DISCUSSIONS ARE LED BY THE
REV. DR.. DICKINSON AND THE
REV. DIR. sTEELE-DR. YOUNG
TALKS.

The regular monthly meeting of tine
Pastors union was held yesterday MORN
ing at the First Methodist church. The
Rev. DR.. A. J. Dickinson and the Rev.
DR.. l. D. Steele were the principal speak
ers on the subject of The Effects Of the
Discovery of Archaeology to History"
Dr. Dickinson maintained that archaeol-
ogy was necessary to a clear conception
of Christianity, just as 1t was necessary to
clearly understand the fundamental prin-
ciples of a thing in order to have a thor
ough conception of that thing. He made
the statement that to know Africa or
India it was first necessary to know
England. In concluding he praised the
study Of archaeology, because it led to
a better and more accurate knowledge of
the Bible and its characters.
He was followed by the Rev. l. d.
Steele, who added to what Er. Dickinson
had said, that he thought closer study
of archaeology was essential to the mean
ing of the scriptures, Other speakers fol-
lowed DR. Steele. all endorsing and en-
larging the ideas expressed by the pre-
vious speakers.
DIR. Il. w Young, assistant general SUI
perintendent of the American Ant-Saloon
league, who is visiting this city in the
interest of the league. then took the
floor DR.. Young spoke only few minutes
but in that time he mace many state
ments which were fully appreciated by
the pastors. lie made the remarkable
statement that there were more saloons
In the city of Louisville than there were
in the entire state of Alabama. Never
theless he said that there was a splendid
opportunity for work in this state, and
urged the ministry to cooperate with
the league i'm it's efforts to secure a
local. option law.
