SHIPS AND euNNERv.

ID RESIDENT Roosevelt i'm a Me-
4 mortal Day address again took
occasion 90 impress upon people
the Importance OF an efficient navy for
this country ana pointed to events in
Far Eastern waters as significant for
Americans.
There is growing impression that
in the future wars are to be fought
largely upon the sea. and this must be
particularly true of any conflict in
which America may become engaged.
our country is so vast that a land in
vasion Of any considerable scope
would be out Of the question Besides,
we have something of a reputation for
turning citizens into soldiers over
night
If Japan had had no navy the Rus
SLAMS would have been in Manchuria
today more insolent and overbearing
than they were. And had she despair
ed Of coping with the Cars fleets on
the sea she might have looked forward
to the day when she would have been
added to the Russian empire.
The President has done well to
point out the lesson; but he does not
regard ships and guns as the only re-
for a great navy. He insists
that both officers and men must have
the widest training. It was expert
gunnery that swept the Spanish navy
from the seas when Dewey, Sampson
.and schley commanded; and it was
the same element the other day that
sent the superior Russian fleet to the
bottom.
We are very proud of the gunuery
Of our seamen, but Admiral Evans is
quoted as saying that IN this respect
the japanese are superior. II this be
true, as there is evidence to show that
it is. then there is weakness yet to
be overcome, and that weakness is not
altogether in lack OF modern war
craft but I'm the accuracy Of gun-fire
which comes only from constant and
intelligent practice.

JOHN WEAvER'S TEMPTATION.
M AYoR WEAVER has not yet
L 4 had a full opportunity Of DEM
onstratlng his courage and determina-
tion. He brought the ringsters to
their knees and made them swallow
large doses of humble pie. but it re-
mains to be seen whether he win repu-
diate the whole mess or out Of the ell
ements which formed the organization
build another.
Already an element which toadied TO
Durham are assuring Weaver OF sup
port. They promise loyalty and insist
or the necessity OF maintaining an ag-
gressive organization. Now if the
mayor is hungry for place and power
he may nibble at the bait. but all Phil
adelphia which respects itself wishes
to see him clean out the gang root and
branch.
A lesson has been badly needed in
Philadelphia for many years. and to
stop with the defeat Of the gas lease
proposition would in the end result IN
contempt for the mayor lie has but
one logical course to pursue and that
is to appoint clean men to office, give
the city clean administration. and
allow the party to rebuild on that ba-
sis or go to pieces.

THE Every Evening insists so
L strenuously on the importance Of
our having a good mayor that we
gather that it has just made the dis
covery. We are inclined to think that
this is true. since II gave but mild sup
port to Mayor Bird when he needed it
most.
But we agree with our contemporary
that it is very important for us to
elect good man for mayor. But
what follows? From that premise we
may argue the importance Of eleoting
captain Wilson.
This paper has never underestimated
the value Of Mayor Birds services to
the city; we have never questioned the
integrity Of his motives. It wouldn't
have been proper, and al isn't neces-
sary But whaftwo want ia. ask is do
we e-have to elect Mr. Bird to secure an,
honest and capable man? The Every
Evening wants to know whether the
people win say that the kind of mayor
Mr. Bird hesnroyed to- be Is the kind
OF mayoe they .want2a cow iss "a, ra
Why one might even say yes to that
and not feel compelled to vote for Mr.
Bird.

candidates in the. HELD pnd we should

gard Captain Wilson as the kind Of

Does il care to go on record as stating
that hi native ability shonesty, traln-
ing and expsne6ee 'aner Republican
candidate isn't at least the equal OF
our present mayor?
II tries to tell as why Mr.. Bird
should be elected. but it must also
show us why Captain Wilson should
not be elected And as the latter rep

that his unntness should nrst be made

DECORATION DAY AT SMYRNA

Special 10 The Evening Journal.
Smyrna, June Memorial Day was
observed here In various ways. Wood
land Beach was the attraction for
many, but a large majority witnessed
the covering OF the graves of soldiers
by their surviving comrades. In the
afternoon exercises were held at the
school, when stars and Stripes Coun-
ell, Jr. O. L. A. NJ >. presented the
school with a handsome flag. Charles
LeFevre, the orator Of the day deliv-
cred "a short but interesting address.
Mr. LeFevre, who has recently been
admitted TO the bar Of Kent county,
dwelt on the fact that unless corrup-
ton We're stopped that the patriotism
of he younger element would have but
a small chance to mature and urged
the fathers and brothers present to
assist in the publication Of the ballot
The Rev. William FAIRIES was to have
accepted the flag on behalf Of the
school and had delivered but little Of
what promised TO be an unusually in
teresting address when his remarks
were cut short by a sudden downpour
of rain which lasted nearly an after

For Peace.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
There are few Americans. we are sure,
who would not rejoice to learn today that
President Roosevelt had rendered to Rus
sia in tho franlxest manner the friendly
Offices OF this government with a view
to tho termination Of the strife in the
Far East.
After tho latest and most overwhelming
Of the disasters which have befallen Rus
sa IN uninterrupted succession on sea
and land since the war began, the time
has manifestly arrived for such sugges-
tions from Washington. From nowhere
else on earth can the first move for peace
come So appropriately, so disinterestedly
and there is good reason to believe so
gratefully both to the brave men who are
ready TO fight on against hope TN death
or doomsday and TO their victorious and
generous foes.
II there is a good and great service
which the United states can now render
TO the Russian Government and people.
that service IS justly due from us to
them. Although there Is no denying that
throughout the present struggle popular
sentiment IN this country has inclined in
a marked degree toward the cause Of
Japan-a circumstance mainly explained
by past events in Manchuria and the un-
fortunate policies Of the Cars Ministers
lit &c equally true that the attitude Of
our government during the war has been
unexceptonable in point OF correctness,
impartiallty and friendlincss Behind that
Is the fact that the people of America
have never forgotten, and cannot forget,
that we are Russias debtor Whenever
opportunity offers for assistance that
sympathy and friendship may properly
give.

EDITORIAL OPINION
Tyranny Of the Diamond Trust

Tyranny Of the Diamond Trust.
From the New York Press.
only those with large fortunes can
buy large diamonds, and, unfortunately,
large fortunes arc few and large dia-
monds many. From the way in which
mnlionaires have been manufactured in
the last quarter Of century, it would
be supposed that the supply had fully
kept up TO the supply Of large diamonds.
but it appears that this is not the case
The DE Beers Syndicate, which pcacti-
cally controls the diamond output Of the
world. has announced that hereafter deal
ers who buy from them must take big
and little stones together-they will not
be allowed to select the more marketable
small stones and leave behind the larger
and less salable gems Royalties and
American millionaires have heretofore
been the principal purchasers Of big dia-
monds But just at present American
millionaires are spending their surplus
cash in hiring attorneys to answer the
question Of How did you get it?' staving
off trust busters" and preparing de
fences;' while kings and emperors are
not adding to crown jewels which they
might be compelled TO leave behind in
case Of the necessity of a sudden de-
parture from the view Of their 'loving
subjects So the supply Of big diamonds
has accumulated far beyond the demand
for such stones. and with true trust
policy the De Beers Syndicate has hit
10
market. The old joke about the hotel
clerk and the big diamond and the popu-
lar idea of the profuseness and magni-
tude Of the "sparklers' worn by sport
ing gents were apparently all wrong.

Developments in the life insurance
world merely prove as fact what
thoughtful people have known for
some time, namely, that corporations
contribute to political parties in a
great many instances. The theory of
these corporations doubtless is that
from the point of view of the con-
tributing corporation, the election of
one or another ticket means greater
prosperity to the country, and con-
sequently greater to the contributing
company. AS a matter of theory the
entire plan of corporation contribu-
lions is wrong. AS matter of fact so
long as all political parties solicit con-
tributions, it is difficult to draw a line.
When it shall be agreed and the agree
ment carried into effect that no
corporation shall be called upon for a
political contribution the solution of
the matter will be easy. %~..

Telegraph operators in the employ
of the Northern Pacific road that were
loyal to the company during the re-
cent strike, have been rewarded, and
the operators that stood by the Great
Northern were remembered, in the
same manner. The reward is in the
shape of double pay for the month of
August. The Northern Pacific oper-
ators several days ago received their
checks for August two months pay
for one months work, together with
warm letter of appreciation for their
loyalty from General Manager Horn.
The Great Northern operators have
occasion to feel much the same way
toward their officials. There is but
one thing that disappoints the railroad
officials in this connection. They in
tended that the reward should come as
q complete surprise to the men, but
reports leaked out that something of
the kind was planned, and got into
the newspapers.

ord Breaking Receipts.
There were 1s267 cattle received at
South st. Paul, Monday, which broke
all previous records. A large per-
centage were not offered for sale, how
ever. The bulk of the offerings were
from North Dakota and Montant with
quite sprinkling of native stuff. The
market on best rangers and butchers
stuff did not show much change from
last weeks decline. plain medium
killers of all kinds we're slow at de-
cline of 10 to Is cents. There was
nothing in the line of beef steers that
brought over $500, the bulk of the
offerings selling from $3.40 to 1915.
There was nothing choice in the line
of butcher stuff; however, good COWS
and heifers sold at $2.75 to $500 with
medium kinds at $2.35 to $2.65. The
quality of stockers and feeders aver
aged better than any time this fall.
Although the receipts were heavy
there was good active demand for
all heavy feshy' feeders at prices fully
steady with last week, several loads
selling at $3.s5 to $500 with fair to
good kinds at $40 to 1885. Medium
weight steers were quoted weak to a
dime lower, while the common stuff
was draggy at unsatisfactory prices.
The demand for feeding cows and
heifers Is rather slack at prices rang
ing from $1.75 to $2.40.
Tuesdays receipts were estimated
at $500, market generally steady on
all grades of desirable kinds. r. -.
