MAINTAIN SELF.RESPECT.

1.-THE men we seek, and Of late have
in large measure secured, viii not sub
ject themselves to the restraints of ma
val discipline unless they feel that as
sailors they can retain their self re-
spect, and earn the esteem OF their fell
low Americans" says Secretary OF the
Navy Bonaparte. The retention of
their self respect and the esteem Of
their fellow citizens depends upon the
men themselves. In this regard the
sailors OF the navy and the soldiers OF
the army are In the same boat. II
their profession Is looked down upon
as the last refuge Of buns and beats
II is because TOO many OF that class
have adopted IL. This Is fact but
too we'll known. Let the men them
selves frown down upon those who
bring disgrace upon them and they
win ind they are rising In public opin-
ion. Their calling Is a most honor
able one. and that OF itself has the re-
spect OF every patriot. Let the Sec
rotary OF the navy aid the sailors by
seeing that the riff-raff OF the country
is not enlisted in the country's naval
service.

1t has generally been supposed that
the church looks upon the institution
OF marriage as a sacrament, That
Baptist church In Lynn, which pro-
poses to have two OF It's Sunday school
children go through a mock ceremony
in imitation Of the Longworth- Roose-
welt wedding, apparently looks upon
marriage as a spectacle. Already, It Is
understood, there have been indig-
nant protests against this proposed
mock wedding. and particularly
against children under twelve years
OF age being made participants. The
protestants are right. Even II the
promoters of the affair had no respect
for the fitness of things In making a
mock of the wedding Of the daughter
of the president, IL might seem as
though their respect for their church
would keep them from celebrating
such nauseating entertainment in its
Sunday school.

many other places OF great interest are

that at Hongkong and many other
places OF little or no interest you Will

and during these long waits you must
ray eXtravagant hotel bills and ex-

Going around the world Is more ser-
Gus and expensive proposition than

trips you will want to take viii cost
more than the main trip.
