TO SAVE "oLD IRoNsiDEs."
Historic Frisate Will Be Rebuilt and
Preserved

Washington, Aug. cit has been an
nounced officially that the friga,e
Constitution, "Old 1ronsides," is to be
repaired and preserved. The secretary
of the navy Mr. Bonaparte, suggested
last December that the Constitution
which was rotting in the Charleston
navy yard, be used as target by the
North Atlantic fleet and thus pass Out
with maritime honors.
There was much opposition to TINS
course, however, and the matter was
left to congress. Mr.. Bonaparte said.
The fate of the Constitution is In
the hands of congress. Personally,
wish to see her rise like Phoenix, but
am too loyal to the other constitution
to take unauthorized liberties with this
one"
The Constitution. Familiarity known
as "Old Ironsdes," which soon is TO
be reconstructed by the navy depart
ment, is one of the most notable fight
ing crafts owned by the United States.
In turn 1t was commanded by Hull,
Preble, cambridge and Decatur. 1t
won undying fame in the war of 1872.
The Constitution was built in Bos-
ton and was launched September 20
1897. 1t was the third vessel of the
navy constructed after the war of the
revolution. The first was the United
States and the second the Constella-
ton.
The Constitutions most notable vic
tories were those over the Guerrero,
the Java and the Cyane and Levant.
The proposal made in 1880 to disman-
tie and sell the gallant ship resulted In
great public Indignation and prompted

BOth congressman LOrlmer and Con-
gresham Mann secured the majority
of votes in their districts In both the
districts feeling was intense and a
heavy vote was cast In the Sixth dis
trict Congressman Lorimer had as an
opponent Luther P. Friestedt. Both
candidates campaigned the district
from beginning to end, and nearly as
many votes We're cast as in the last
presidential election. The indications
are that Lorimer received nearly twice
as many votes as his opponent.
Congressman Mann was opposed by
E. Francis with Parker and the vote
was heavy, as both candidates made a
spirited campaign. Mann won out by
n large majority and will go before the
convention with enough delegates
pledged him to insure his nomination.

Ay! tear her tattered ensign down
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye danced to see
That banner In the sky.
Beneath 1t rang the battle shout
And burst the cannon roar
The meteor Of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more!

In 1916 the Constitution was rebuilt
and for several years thereafter was
used as school ship and subsequent
ly as a receiving ship. In 1900 it was
removed from Kittery to the Charles
ton navy yard and was gradually fall
ing into decay until the patriotic So
cieties took up the matter and urged
upon congress the making of an APP
preparation to save the vessel.

The Bryan Puzzle.

rms new Bryan campaign Is a puzzle.
We have never had anything like it, and
for that reason 1t Is impossible to forecast
anything in connection with 1t. The only
certain thing seems to be that Mr. Bryan
is committed to government ownership and
operation of railroads, and that as he
grows in power the policy will grow with
him.
One may sympathize with the rank and
file of the democratic party in their con-
fusion. AT Louisville Mr.. Bryan was intro
duced and hailed as leader by Mr.. Waiter
son, and yet the distinguished editor holds
Mr. Bryan's new doctrine in adherence
AS soon as the reception was over and
the proprieties sanctioned deliverance he
pronounced in his newspaper against this
giant step toward full state socialism in the
most emphatic terms But he still Blooms
Mr.. Bryan for President
At jackson, Miss. John Sharp Williams
assisted in the reception of Mr.. BRYAN
Which was very hearty. He praised him for
MS stand on many questions and accepted
MS leadership. But he declared very
frankly against government ownership and
operation OF railroads. He also keeps his
seat on the Bryan band wagon There is
no other vehicle in sight and he wants to
ride.
MI Bacon was not present at Mr. Bryan's
receptions In Georgia, nor Mr. Daniel at
MS receptions in Virginia, but had thew
oeeh both of course would have Joined
IN the felicities to the visitor. But at
the same time both would have dissented
from the new Bryan program. Both in
newspaper interviews are recorded against
it.
But all of this makes no difference to
Mr.. Bryan He hears. but he needs it not.
His heart is with the populists. whence
the new policy comes. Everybody les
laughed some years ago when the embat-
tied farmers fired that shot. Politicians
Of both Of the old parties said in their
mlrth that the suggestion wore long chin
whiskers and chewed a straw. Mr. Bryan.
after fourteen years, gives it a sort of dig
nity-at least a brstling Importance. No
body is laughing at 1t today-certainly
no democrat.
Well. the world keeps turning around and
around 1t performed that motion before
Mr.. Bryan was born, and, uniess the scien-
lists are all wrong, will continue to perform
it after he Is dead and gone. There are
leaders and followers A leader, we are
told, should lead. Should not, by the same
token. a follower follow? Mr. Bryan is
leading. If his followers refuse to follow,
what is to become Of the democratic party?

lots and the irregular and often unsightly
woodsheds are missing. The effect of the
whole interior of a square. treated in this
way, is pleasing and park-like. 1t serves
the purpose of great court or private
park.
A neighborhood in Baltimore-on Bolton
street-has tried this experiment with sue
cess and other neighborhoods contemplate
following the example. The Architect and
Builders Journal of Baltimore has this to
say:
These 'Frick Gardens" as they are call
ed, are no doubt pleasing spectacle to
the occupants of the houses as well as to
others in the neighborhood. and amply re-
pay for the trouble, time and money ex-
pended on them. Instead of the board
fences. wires strung on posts, which
support running, clustering vines, form
the divisions. Well-trimmed lawns and
carefully cultivated flower beds, with here
and there tree or bit of shrubbery, lend
a pleasing, almost rural, aspect to the
scene. This what may be termed the group
idea of back yard improvement, suggests
possibilities in a general treatment of en-
Vironments which are not as a rule attract

to tidiness, as this semi-public arrange
nent affords no dumping ground for rub

Rifle Practice by High School Bows

News report has it that the student-sol-
diers of the Business High School are to
have sub-caliber practice with the Kras
Jorgensen rifle.
Every American should know how to
shoot. 1t is national safeguard and a
manly art. Besides. 1t is sentimental in
that it sustains traditions. A century ago
in this country good shots were common.
1t was a matter of pride with most men
With the improved arms and ammunition of
today, with velocity doubled and trajectory
tiattened, man should. roughly speaking
shoot a better score at 600 yards than his
great grandfather did at 200. The instruc-
ton of the cadets In sub-caiber practice
will be benefit TO them. There is a great
deal more satisfaction and practical worth
in being able to shoot sharpshooter's
score than in knowing something about
"fours right" "by the left flank" and
petty details of the manual of arms
though knowledge of the drill is necessary
for orderliness and exactness in the move
ment of bodies of men. A soldier who is
not a good shot is not apt to be a valuable
soldier. 1t is also a desirable thing that
persons should learn to shoot in youth.
Gun shyness is difficult to correct in later
HE and man who is gun shy will not
shoot we'll
AS pure sport rifle shooting Is excellent
1t requires extremely fine coordination he.
tween the mind and the muscles, and ex
pertness demands good physical condition.
The man whose body and nerves are sound
has a great advantage. Successful rifle
shooting compels temperance. Fine marks
manship and dissipation make an impossible
combination. II a man wants to win In
this game he must take as conscientious
care of himself as an athlete. The physical
culture is phase of the question that l.
often overlooked.
Mr.. Davis, principal Of the Business High
School. is reported to have said that the
sub-caliber machine will prove more val
liable than practice on range, because
practically the same results are obtained
and time is saved.
There is some poetic license liz this. There

Cannon,

Mr.. Cannon keeps his head and continues
to talk sense. He well describes the duty
of the hour to his party friends. This year
task is not the election of a President of
the United States. but of a House of Rep
resentatives. If the republicans lose, their
difficulties in the presidential race will be
increased ten-fold. A cutting down of their
present House majority is not only to be
expected but should he welcomed 1t is by
far too large, both for the country's and the
party's good. If Mr.. Cannon is reelected
Speaker with a majority of thirty or forty
at his back he will be a greater power for
safe legislation and workable campaign ma
terial than with a host behind him. But
much depends on his reelection as Speaker.
If John Sharp Williams Is the Speaker in
digo is not bluer than republican prospects
for 1905 will be. Nobody sees that more
plainly than the veteran leader from Hi
nois, will work harder to prevent the
happening.
