Additional BattIeships.

A very warm issue among the
House leaders at present relates to
the navy There is a feeling that it
is not at all necessary to authorize
the building of six scout cruisers, be-
cause, il war should come, a
number of swift ocean liners could
be converted into scout cruisers in a
brief period of time. This was done
in the war with Spain, and Japan and
Russia are doing likewise today. 1t
is held therefore that the proposed
six scout cruisers are at least not n
pressing necessity in these days of
fiscal deficiency.
There is also sentiment opposed
to the authorization of three new hat
tleships, because the ships In course
of construction will cost when fin
ished ninety million dollars, and the
new naval appropriation bill will nee
tSSdIlly luCluuS POO,oOVtOOo Ol az
count of those ships. At the best the
naval bill will call for abolt one hun
dred million dollars, and many think
1t should not be swelled beyond that
great sum.
Those who say the country should
not halt in it's naval increase pro-
gramme, base their opinion upon the
fact that the construction of battle
ship covers three or four years, and
il the country really needs more bat
tleships they should be begun. Battle
ships have lost none of their import
ance through the operations of Japan
and Russia in the Far East, and
Japan would feel much more secure
If she had today half dozen more
of them.

REeukINe THE KID SENATORS.

Washington Correspondent of New York
World.
Age does not always look kindly on
what It considers youth in the United
States Senate, and age sometimes says
50 with much dlreetness.
The venerable Senator Morgan of Ala
bama, was discussing the prohibition Sec
tion of the statehood bill in the Senate.
and the not-so-venerahle Senator Bever-
idge of Indiana, who is in charge of the
bill. was explaining. Senator Morgan neld
that the section prohibiting the sale of
liquor in the state to be formed by the
amalgamation of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, is of no consequence, because
although it prohibits the sale of liquor
1. does not provide a penalty for break
ing the law.
'Then," flourished Senator Beveridge
after Senator Morgan had characterized
the section as utterly absurd and foolish
'1f the Senator will permit me, 1t is per-
fectly clear, on his own statement, that
from his own point of view, no injury
could result from adopting it."
Senator Morgan went into action right
then ana there. He pointed a long fore
finger at Senator Beverage, and said:
THAT is an argument that might do
for debating society when no boy In
/. was over ten years old but 1t will
not do for the Senate of the United
States"
Whereupon there were loud cries from
a number of gray-haired gentlemen sit
ting about the chamber.

door to the main hallway, wainscoated on
each side to a height of about seven
feet with oak In fact, oak is the pre
vailing wood used throughout the first
two stories. On the right of the hall is
the reception room, a big chamber fully
thirty feet square, with deep recess
forming the tower. one of which appears
at each one of the four corners OF the
house.
Everywhere on the first floor the door
knobs, handles of drawers hinges and
even heads of screws shine with the I'M
mistakable dull glitter of gold. The use
of this precious metal is unique SO far
as Is known The explanation Is made
that the gold is not virgin" that it has
been mixed with an alloy to give it the
necessary stiffness But even SO, each
hinge cost $40 and there are many dozens
on this floor alone.
Burglars will not find 1t easy to make
away with these fittings, as all the out
side hardware Is of brass. An interesting
electrical installation makes 1t possible
for Mrs Durand. Sr., lying In bed. to
reach switch at her side in the wall
and turn on every light in the house from
cellar to roof-more than 600 bulbs being
connected with this one switch.
I'VE thought of having the handles of
the two big outside doors made of this
metal, too" said Mr.. Durand, Jr., but
we decided that that would be too ex-
pensive, as well as too much of a temptx-
ton to burglars.
The third floor includes bedrooms and
baths for the servants and tremendous
assembly hall, where 100 couples may
dance comfortably. In the little ante
chamber off this big hall will be placed

veaetabIes and the Cold Weather

The late cold wave proved very de-
structive to early peas and beans,
celery, turnips, beets, radishes, ruta-
bagas, onions and other sprouting
vegetables in Texas and eastward
along the gulf. At Mobile the tenn
perature fell to 81 degrees. In central
Texas and up and down the Brazos
valley all vegetables were cut down.
The entire damage is heavy.
The losses in Florida do not appear
to have been serious, and in lower
Florida no doubt an abundant supply
of early vegetables will be grown, and
they will doubtless bring high prices.
What is our loss in the gulf districts
will be Florida's gain.
There is no way to meet and over
come cold waves so intense as was
the one we have just experienced,
which was almost as severe along the
gulf as in the upland districts of this
state, where January vegetables are
considered impossible, and are never
attempted. Now and then some let
tuce is sown or English peas are
planted, but nothing is done by mar
ket gardeners up this way unless it
be in beds covered by glass.
Let us hope the winter season cul-
minated in the recent wave, and that
we will begin to see softer as we'll as
longer days. In this latitude mild
days are possible at any time, and
we are nearing the period when they
will become probable.

Fall River Strike Settled.

The starting of three or four mil
lion spindles and the employment of
$4,000 operatives at Fall River is no
light event. 1t means a larger cou-
sumption Of big crop, and a surplus
of goods for export. 1t means peace
in the great industry, and it comes at
a time when the mills can buy raw
cotton almost at their own figures.
Governor Douglas won a victory
when he succeeded in bringing the
manufacturers and operatives to-
gether. The latter return to the mills
under the reduction declaration of the
former. The former will receive less
wages by 1914 per cent, but the ell
tire subject of wages is submitted to
Governor Douglas, who will deter
mine what they shall be. AS cotton
can be laid down in Fall River at
about Z cents, it would seem as If
Governor Douglas would almost GER
tainly say that the operatives are en-
titled to more wages, and if he does
SO determine the manufacturers bind
themselves to pay more. He will

zone or two industries that are located
within the city limits are largely to

the plants to use smoke consumers. Such
law. l am sure. would not retard our in

HOW PARKINA SANG.
Described In Rhyme.)


From the Kansas City Star.
I heard ParlSina sing one night not very
long ago. Twas down in Kansas City
where she used to live, you know. Before
I heard her, I'll admit, I always wus in
clined to laugh at heightened music, but
since have changed my mind. Say, Mister
did you hear her? Eff you didn't, listen
now. I'll try to tell you how she sang
the that I know how. She came out
trenholm jest a bit so modest-like an
sweet. Say-when Parkina started in
eight thousand had a treat. Well first
she fed the birds a while-their chirps
seemed to hear. I saw in mind summer
sky, the sun a-shinin clear. The picture
showed me roses then; their perfumes
filled the air. OF all the dreams I've ever
had, not one wus half so fair. fhen all
at once 1 grew right sad. / couldn't tell
you why felt an achin' in my heart-a
tear came in my eye An next l seemed
to live again in old times on the farm.
[ felt my mother rockin me-my head
wus In her arm. Well, when this scene
had passed away, strange sights came
swiftly by. 1t seemed thousand angels
wus a-fioatin' through the sky. l heard
the birds chirp once again-I saw golden
dawn. Just then the vision left my mind.
Parklna-she wus gone. Then came an
uproar; seemed as though an earthquake
must be nigh. The girl came back, an
bless her heart, sang "Coomin' Through
the Rye" I've tried to tell you bout the
notes that tioated frum that throat. Don't
