Some Naval Fiction.

Isn't 1t about tire for the Navy
Department of the United States to
cease trying TO get men TO enlist in
its serTtce on false pretenses? And
why should il be found necessary
10 attempt to lure youngsters into
the navy by the same means that
the circus takes to attract business
through gorgeous posters that de-
pict the thing; that never were on
sea or Iand?'
In debate in Congress the other
day. Representative Mccall OF Mas
sachusetts, touched upon this very
subject, and hit it with his Gus
tomaTy incisive strength. Said he:
These posters are plastered over walls
and hung up near saloons where young
men Congregate. and they catch the eve
OF the romantic and unSuspecting. The
sailors painted thereon are in more
naSnN uniforms than any admiral every
wore. There is a small nattv- boat the
placid waters Of the bay. blue sky and a
brilliant cruiser lying at anchor The
oihcers and men look like haberdasher
The boy with a yearning for Captain
Marryat career fixes his gaZe on one OF
them. and he is lost. He runs for re-
crulung officer. and the first thing his
parents know they get his clothes in
box from somewhere in Virginia and the
announcement that he IS scrubbinE
decks on man-of-war.
These posters depict the sailors life
as II does not exist. They inhame the
imagination. They are misleading and
keep the diSagreeable features of the life
in the background.
There is no doubt that this fool
ish exaggeration of the delights Of
naval service is responsible for a
large percentage of the desertions
that occur annually. There comes
10 many recruit a stern awaken
ing to the laborious realities of the
service, and the result is disillu-
sion and fight. If the life were pre-
sented as it is in the beginning. a
more earnest and generally desira-
bic set of men would be enlisted.
and they would stay. The navy
would be improved and public opin-
ION of the methods used to fill our
warshiPs would be a good deal

The Death of Carl Schurz.

The possibilities of the American
immigrant were superlatively ex-
| emplited in the life of Carl Schurz
which came TO an honorable end
this morning at his nome in New
York city. He spent his days fight
ing for freedom and' serving the
cause of good government He has
passed away in the light of a gen
eral respect for one who held high
Office and filed it acceptably, who
lived personal life of the utmost
purity and unselfishness, and who
was a great and consistent personal
force on behalf of the national
honor and the national ideals of his
adopted people.
Few men have been so promi-
nently active as Carl Schurz. His
part in the German revolution of
1S4s-49, when he was but twenty
years old, was of pronounced i'm
portance, as every reader OF his
modest and absorbing autobiogra-
ply will agree. Within three years
he came to the United States
and in less than ten years was fight
ing the cause of the American slaves
as delegate TO the Republican con
vention which nominated Lincoln.
\ few years after that he was com

tary Of the Interior under HAYES.
brought his career down TO the
memory of the present generation.
Since which time, Schurz has led
in the Independent movement which
led 10 the election of Grover Cleve-
land in 1884. in the fight for civil
service reform, in opposition to the
acquisition OF the American insular
dependencies, and the literature of
two tongues
That several Of the causes TO
which Schurz gave allegiance were
impractical, ought not blind the
Judgment to the fact that they were
all idealistic. Schurz could not com
promise with his highest concep-
tions, even to the extent of taking
what he could get. He was man
of principle-through and through
and his life should prove an in
spiration 70 the whole of the Amer
lean people.

Not a Free Seeds Cause.

A misconception of the city
gardens idea as related to the local
schools seems to prevail in certain
Congressional quarters. It is that
the teachers active in this cause
aim to procure free seeds for the
children. There is enough unneces-
sary wreckage over free seeds
without involving in it one of the
best variations of public school
education.
Our school garden workers have
never had the help of free seeds, do
not want them, and have had no
idea of obtaining them. One of the
best points of the enterprise, in fact,
is that it makes fast the child's in
terest in his garden plot by be-
ginning in sacrifce-the expendi-
ture of his own pennies for the
seed
The gardens conducted by our
local school teachers are a practical
and Inexpensive means of inculcat-
ing love for beauty, especially
that beauty which can be had cheap
ly and is now generally disregarded.
That object is accomplished by
teaching the children to cooperate
in the care of the school grounds
and giving them individual plots TO
work as gardens.
Long ago the idea ceased to be an
experiment. 1t has proven more
than feasible in a hundred other
cities represented in Congress-it
has proven a success in Washington.
