NAVY PUTTING ON
FINAL TOUCHES

fhe Navy football players went 60 work
with great spirit at Annapolis yesterday
afternoon TO put on tho flushing touches
1or the final game with the Army next
Saturday The practice was secret, as
Will be all the practice during tho week.
There will only be two more full after
moons for practice here. as the team
iseves Friday morning. and the prac-
tice Thursday is likely to be short.
The team Is not discouraged by the fact
that only one score was made against vir-
gnia Polytechnique on Saturday. The
Nlrginians had n strong team, and the
Navy team Is believed 10 be capable OF a
much stronger game than u put up.
The Navy contingent feels certain that
the team will show stronger game In
every department next Saturday. The
fact that Syracuse defeated the Army
team on the same day also goes to cheer

THE. REPUBLIC AND THE ARMY.

New York world.-Lieutenant Col
onel James s. Petit. military instrul-
tor of the District Of Columbia, reg
ular army officer, received applause
and approval at q meeting of the mill
tary service institution on Governors
Island Wednesday, when he declared
that the army of a republic could not
be made as efficient as that of mon
archy.
This absurd doctrine is not borne
out by the records of history. Pettit's
line of thought seems to be that the
arbitrary power of a king over his
subjects assures the making of an
effective army much more readily than
under republican conditions. The
armies Of the European kings made a
poor showing against the ragged
troops Of the French republic, led by
ex-hostlers, tradesmen and common
troopers, suddenly lifted to command
The military power of Rome under the
republic was never matched by the
emperors, nor, coming down to re-
cent day. did the army Of England
show to advantage against the little
legions of the Beers.
The real trouble with the army o.
the United States has never been witt
the men, but with inefficient and in.
competent officers, called from civil
| life by political or social influences
and until these come to be killed off
or resign there is a period Of mis-
fortune at the beginning Of every
campaign. A complete record Of thu
scamps appointed to army positions
during the war with Spain would b.
interesting reading.

THE TRIUMPH OF NEBRASKA.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil. The
country is in good way to be saved.
The Nebraska delegation has struck
on a scheme for distributing patron
age which, it is hoped, will give salts
faction. 1t is the expectation that
ly. In the past there has been good
deal of trouble, all because Of a lack
Of system. This has at times greatly
neutralized the usefulness of the dele
cation. The delegation has been I'M
able to discharge its functions in an
orderly manner, and the state has suf-
fered. Now, however, order Is to
come out of chaos and the Jobs are to
be dealt out in a systematic wav and
without friction. In word, the Ne
braska delegation has planted its feet
on the solid rock and can no longer
Justly be the subject Of jibes and jeers,
It's highest usefulness is promised, the
distribution of patronage Is to pro-
coed on an established basis, scientifi-
cally.
According to the washington CORE
spondent of Nebraska paper, when
the United States district attorney for
Nebraska is chosen he will have the
distinction of being the first federal
| officer in the state chosen under the
new plan of distributing patronage
| That is, he will be selected, not by
agreement of the senators, but by q
caucus of the entire delegation, ir
which the eight members will have
equal voice and the man receiving the
majority of votes will be named" Ir
| the past it has frequently been impos-
sible to fill offices when the senators
| could not agree. Now the members Of
the delegation will meet in caucus an6
ballot until some candidate has a ma
jority of the votes.
Great triumph for Nebraskai Al
though the plan is copied from Iowa
its adoption now by Nebraska, Is cred
tied to the genius of Senator Burkett

WALTERS QUEST.

Walter Wellman announces that he
is about to start in an atrshlp, on
search for the north pole. Mr.. Well
man isn't going just yet-neither today
nor tomorrow. nor yet on Wednesday,
but he has set his foot down and said,
"There," and that means that he will
go. His departure is not to take place
Immediately because, before he goes,
he must needs see to 1t that his air
ship is manufactured and that there IS
enough cheese and hard tax to sustain
life. Then there must be a cold-defy-
ing typewriter rugged up, along with
the appliances for sending daily letters
by wireless telegraphy from the front
in the Wellman campaign for the dis
covery of the north pole.
Just what the world will do while
Mr.. Wellman is nosing around in the
ice fields of the north, no one can fore.
cast. Is it too late? Can't he be stop
ped and induced to stay here SO that
he may still continue, till the end OF
time. to tell the people what the
President should and should not
do and why he doesn't dc
what Wellman says he will!
Mr.. Wellman has built up for himself
q reputation that almost demands that
he stay at home and watch it. 1t will
not follow him around in the snow
banks and the Hudson bays Of the
north pole country. 1t will stay right
down here where it is warm and
where Wellman has made it warm be
fore now. It will stay down here where
he has heen busy propheSyinp things
that never came about and he had bet
ter stay and keep it company. There
are no Iowa state conventions at the
pole, no chance to interview "promi
nent men" from this and that state
no one to blame If an authoritative
forecast goes awry.

ment of his proposed trip that he is

'--d of his days. 1t is good to learI

THE eILHooLEY TRIAL.

The result Of the Gilhooley trial in
Chicago, in which several men were
convicted of either active participation
in, or guilty knowledge Of the "slug-
ging" of non-union carriage and wagon
workers, will meet with the approval
of all who favor good government. 1t
is not question of unionism against
non-unionisn, but simply question
of right or wrong. The unions were
not on trial, nor was the principle Of
the Unions. The men who, taking their
alleged loyalty to uniontsm as a pro-
lection, attacked other men who We're
trying to make an honest living were
on trial, and they were convicted and
sentenced.
The "slugger" and the man who en-
dorses smuggling" or other illegal acts
during strike are the worst enemies
Of unionism and all union men recog-
nize the fact. In the eyes of a great
portion of the public the union is guilty
of the "sluggers" acts and unionism
suffers as a result But the defendants
in the Gilhooley case were neither up
held by the unions nor did they have
the sympathy of union men.
No better proof can be cited of the
conservative unions real desire to act
within the law than is given In the
conduct of the strike now being con-
Quoted by the Typographical union In
Chicago and other cities. Though
there are great many men idle as the

cause there is no violence. 1t Is q
fight for what the printers think should
be granted against what the employers
think cannot be properly conceded. It
! is being conducted in business like
manner, or as nearly business like as
a strike can be conducted.
| While it is not the purpose OF the

sides to the question between employ
er and employee, the fact remains that
there is no hope of getting this CUES
ton settled amicably for all time un

derstand each other and cast off any
suspicion that may exist. This under
standing cannot be reached while the
public thinks the unions are organized
for the purpose of killing or manning
all who are not union men, and sucf
