MORE DRYOOCKS NEEDED.
Admiral w. L. Caps Asks For
Graeter Facilities.

The urgent need of drydoek facili-
ties is emphasized by Rear Admiral
w. l.. Capps, chief of the Bureau OF
Construction and Repair, Navy De
partment, in his annual report, pub
lished yesterday. lie points out that
there are but two drydocks on the At
lantic and Gulf Coasts in which the
largest .battleships may be docked,
one of these, in the New York navy
yard, having so far deteriorated as TO
require a general overhauling in the
near future.
In this connection Admiral Capps
states that the floating drydock can
never approach in usefulness the dry
dock ashore. The drydoek, Dewey, de-
sivered during the year at tile olon-
gapo station in the Philippines, cannot
at present be used for general over
hauling and repairs 10 hull owing to
the lack of highly trained machinists
in the island.
The construction of the battleship
Connecticut Mt the New York navy
yard by the government IN compe-
tition with the contract constructed
Louisiana, reflected credit on the
construction of the former.
Owing to the reduction by Congress
in the increase of the Navy, the
construction item for the year ending
June 30, 1908. is estimated by the
bureau at SI2,7l3, 9l5, as against 81,
$50, 500 appropriated for the current
year.
Rear Admiral Capps furnished Con
gress with detailed account of tho
'iirst-class battleships No. 6 and No.
T." These. are the South Carolina and
Michigan, each to be 504 feet long, 60
feet beam and of 16. 600 tons displace-
ment. This is the type of ship which
American naval construction say will
almost equal the Dreadnaught in
power, although considerably smaller
in tonnage.

AT Cripple Creek

Rocky Mountatin life with its ex-
citing scenes of the pioneer days in
the Western mining camp, will be
portrayed in n rousing manner at the
Colonial Theatre Saturday matinee
and night. AT Cripple Creek is the
title of this most picturesque of
Western plays. The wild scenery in
the heart of the Rockies forms a mag
nificent background for any play, es-
pecially a melodrama. and when Hal
Reid's versatile art plays upon the
feelings of an audience amid scenes
of such surprising beauty, the effect
is certainly most thrilling. AT Grip
pie Creek abounds n splendid hero
ism and scenes of sparkling comedy
and quaint drollery. The first act cul-
inmates in the exciting rescue of three
innocent girls from the clutches of
Martin Mason. vile half-breed and
keeper of a saloon called 1.-THE Temple
of David.
The second act opens at Rift Canon.
near Joe Mayfield's mountain home.
4 pretty scene occurs here between
the child Tatto and Joe, who is the
owner of the Last Dollar" mine and
champion of innocence at Cripple
Creek While the stirring escape of
Joe Mayfield from the death trap
laid for him in the Last Dollar"
mine and his thrilling rescue Of
Belle Gordon makes the third act one
of the most novel and thrilling seen
upon the melodramaticl stage, the
fourth act reveals Joe Mayfield S
home on the eve of his wedding with
Belle Gordon. Stage sets of exciting
beauty and novel effects enhance the
strongly dramatic scenes.

WHEN the Free (?) Press says that it
would make no difference to the tobacco
growers if the Philippine tobacco was al
lowed to come into this country free
from duty, it acts like it thought Wis
consin tobacco growers were fools. Any
one who knows enough to mark a ballot
at election can figure out that Wiscon-
SIN growers can not compete with labor
worth only Is cents day, and, that
where they can grow tobacco with less
than half as much labor as it can be
grown here. II Philippine tobacco and
sugar had been admitted to this country
free of duty, the tobacco mon would be
getting about eight cents pound and
there would be no rush for it either, and
the sugar beet fellows would perhaps be
getting less than half the present price
per ton for their beets.-Viroqua Repub-
lican.

MY TAXES are increasing regularly
every year and | do not understand it,
said a farmer to US few days since. He
continued, I'VE have been promised re-
form, and we hear a good deal about the
admirable changes which have been
adopted in the management of our state
affairs, but it is clear to me that they are
mighty expensive. AS [ said, am con-
tributing to the state treasury more q
good deal than | used to years ago, and
what are we getting for it? We are told
with great emphasis that over million
dollars year is being squeezed out of
the railroads more than formerly, and
we know that over a million has been
paid by the general government on war
claim account which has been put in the
general account fund instead of being
restored to the trust funds from which
it was borrowed; and vet taxes keep 60
ing up instead of down. [ don't like it,
and would like to see some OF this boast
ed reform unreformed. Whitewater

SENATOR LA TOILETTE has discover

SENATOR LA TOILETTE has discovered
that the people of Wisconsin need saw
ing again. He has saved them three
times-Yea, four times and now an
nounces that at whatever cost of per-
sonal comfort to himself the operation
may involve he is ready, and willing, and
determined whether they want it or not
to save them once more. Has the
junior senitor planned to regain his hold
on the office of governor, which he re-
linquished 80 reluctantly, by getting
hold on the man who is to be elected to
the governorship for the term following
that for which he himself was elected in
1904? Appearances favoring that belief
are so broad and tall that they can not
be overlooked. Perhaps Senator La
Toilette has grown so accustomed to the
function of saving the people that it has
become habit, or even passion. He
may feel the impulse and the yearning
to save the people in years when the
people are not in danger and do not
need to be saved.-Evening Wisconsin.

ONE of the chief things discussed or
decided at the G. A. r. encampment in
Minneapolis is the changing OF Memorial
day from. May 30 to Sunday. 1t seems
as if majority sentiment is in favor Of
the change. Decoration day was intend
ed as IA solemn memorial and not an hour
for sports and games, 1t is not so bad
to have foot bal! on Thanksgiving, as
that day is intended for one of rejoicing
and merry making. With Memorial day
every sentiment is different and should
have proper expression. Due and
proper respect cannot he shown to the
living and dead veteran by going to a
base ball match or borse race.

IF 1T needed any other evidence to
show that Congressman Cooper is out of
sympathy with his district, it might be
found in the fact that for some years he
employed a private secretary who was
not resident of his district Or state.
With hundreds of bright young men in
his district that would have been glad of
the job, he took up with cheap clerk at
Washington and the 500 per month
went into the pockets of an alien or
somewhere else 1t was one Of the
meanest things we have to charge Mr..
Cooper with. But the district has had
enough of Indifferent congressman. Let 8
have change.
