("Oregon, Indiana" and ..Massa-
chusetts'') were heralded as the most
powerfully armed and armored battle
ships afioat. The claim was well
made; for not even the big British
ships of that day could match the
com mbinatiou of four 13 inch and eight
18-irch guns and 18-inch facehard-
ened armor found in the Oregon"
class. Yet these vessels possessed in
herent defects as naval design and
construction advanced, which were
bound to tell against them. Chief
among these was the fact that this
displacement of something over 10000
tons was altogether too small to
effectively carry such powerful ag-
gregation of offensive and defensive
elements. For in order to float such
guns and armor at all, it was neces-
sary to keep down speed, coal supply,
and the supply of ammunition, to
point which was bound ultimately to
render these ships unable to remain
in our first line of defense. The trend
of later battleship design is in the
direction of giving ship high free
board, large displacement, and
generous supply of ammunition and
coal, and the increased displacement
of about sixty per cent of such vessel
as the batleship Connecticut" over
the "Oregon" has been given mainly
to these features The main battery
of the Connecticut" in numbers and
weight is no greater than that of the
"Oregon, consisting of four 12's and
eight 8's as against four 1875 and eight
8's. In the secondary battery there
is an increase from four inch to
twelve finch guns. The vastly great
power of the broadside is mainly due
to the great increase in velocity,
range, rapidity of fire, and energy of
the gun. The length of the ships has
gone up from 348 to 450 feet; the
breadth from SO 1-3 to rs 2-3 feet,
while the depth, on the other hand,
has been reduced from 28 to 26 IA
feet, most important advantage for
the latter ships. Displacement has
AuOAodeou IIoh 1Vs 900 IonS W 'o,OVV
tons, and the speed has risen from 16
to 18 knots. The normal coal supply
has risen from 400 tons to 1900; and
although the "Oregon" is credited
with bunker capacity of 1850 tons
as against 2,2O0 tons for the "Con-
necticut," she cannot take on that
amount without practically submerg
ing the whole of her water line armor.
In the second line of defense, how
ever, for service in home waters, the
"Oregon" still has useful life of
many years service before her, and in
the naval annals of the country she is
destined to be placed high on the roll
of honor.

UNMUZZLED PULPIT AGAIN.
(Oregonian. ,

(Oregonian.)
While the question of an unmuzzled
pulpit is claiming attention of the
public, it may we'll cast its glance
in the direction of modest church
building that stands upon the corner
of East Fifteenth and Morrison streets
and harken to the sounds that issue
from thence. The pulpit of this
church is occupied--nay, more, it is
"flled ply Rev. H. G. Shaffer. A
few weeks ago this minister proved
his quality tor boldness in speaking
the truth as he saw it by requiring
a total abstinence pledge from those
who sought admission to his church.
Opinions differ, of course, as to the
necessity or expediency of such test
for church mbership; but there is
but one opinion in regard to the
courage of the preacher in requiring
it.
Now comes the same man, with
Christian defence that bsrders on
meekness, but with words that cannot
be misunderstood, proclaiming that
the revival meetings that were
conducted in this city with such ap-
parent fervor and earnestness year
ago were ruled by political caucus
methods. Seltishness, he affirmed,
triumphed in the management of the
meetings, the advertising was i'm
mense. and, considering the spiritual
power on hand, was greatly over
done; states were in evidence i'll the
assignments; pastors sat OH the plat
form like row of Egyptian mum
mics aud prayed in turn; and the holy
spirit was not given the right of way.
This fairly out-Hubbards Ebert
Hubbard for plain speaking, while it
is pervaded by much more reverent
spirit than that which is possessed by
the renowned Roycrofter. Whatever
else may be thought of the effort or
"open letter" to DR.. Chapman, prince
of machine revivalists in the United
States, which was the form that DIR.
Shaffer's presentment took, no one can
doubt the courage or sincerity of the
pastor of the United Brethren Church
or the fact that this pulpit is an un-
muzzled one.

in order to take account of position.
Sometimes there is no indiscretion

George Bruce Cortelyou, of New

but has no reason for apprehension
when that does occur.
Frank Walandy Higgins, of New

ATHENA, JANUARY 70, 1906

Ia Goodwin's Weekly, of Salt Lake
City, is found the following: "Speci-
al attention has been called to Oregon
during the past year because of her
Lewis and Clark exposition. Though
almost within the sound of the waves
of the Pacific breaking upon her coast,
the exposition was an immense sue
cess, and thousands Of people have now
a clear i'd ca Of Oregon who but few
years ago could not have bounded the
state to save their lives. And all
their impressions are happy ones, for
in stately timber, rich valleys, ,glorified
rivers and scenery that is perpetual
delight, no state exceeds Oregon.
No people are more prosperous than
they no people more country loving.
Oregon is one of the great states of the
union in all the attributes that make

BUILDING A COLLEGE.
New York Evening Post.

Chicago, Jan. 3. 3.-University of
Chicago athletic authorities made
one of the richest hauls of prize
athletes in the history of Western
athletics yesterday, with the opening
of the Winter quarter. Seven of the
most talented men in this section of
the country registered their names as
students of the university. The new
acquisitions are Prince, formerly cap
tain of the Shattuck Military Acad-
emy, who weighs 210 pounds and who
is declared to be combination of a
Shaker and Bezdek; Taylor, who
weighs 200 pounds, formerly star
all-round athlete at Des Moines, and
is fullbaek strongly heralded; Mad
digan, the 203 pound guard and all
round athlete from Englewood High
School; Moody, star baseball, foot
ball and track man from the Univers-
ity of Maine; Dickinson, pitcher
from Tufts; Comstock a half miller
from Princeton. formerly a star at
Hyde Park High School, and Rudolph,
pole vaulter from Grown Point, and
an interscholastic champion.
This is not fake or satire upon
American collegiate methods. 1t is a
bona fide Associated Press dispatch
received at this office this morning.
All loyal Chicago alumni must now
feel their hearts pulsating with joy.
Who longer cares that their president
is i'll. or that the Rockefeller Christ
mas gift was not what it was expected
to be? To have Shaken and Bezbek
combined makes up for all that.
What talent in the faculty compared
with talent that weighs 210, a03 and
200 poundsg That's your true way
to build up university. From Maine
to Des Moines they come. attracted only
by the kinship which ever exists be-
tween talent and education.

Senator La Toilette may, with a cer- tain amount of justice, be described as a victim of circums tances. In the rst place, it is unusual for a new senator in the first year of his first term. to tackle a big question with a speech of 75,OOO words. It was rather too much for the other senators, many of whom tip-toed out during the extraordinary flow of oratory. They were as polite about it as possible, but really the pro tracted discourse was more than they could stand. There seems to have been a mistake too, in MT La FoI!ette's de- fiance of certain restraints which have become pretty thoroughly established iu the senate. He spoke passionate1y and theatrically instead of calmly ana argumentatively On so prcsaic a sub ject as the rate bill the senate was per haps willing enough to be enlightened with facts and logic, but it did not pro pose to be carried off its feet by tida wave of e'oquence.

AMERICAS RED LETTER DAYS

This is "Cinco de Mayo" which our Mexican neighbors observe in connec- ton with the complete overthrow of French rule in Mexico. Ths holiday, II is true, does not commemorate a de- cisive victory near the close of the war, but a victory by the MeXicans quite early in the struggle and which had no bearing on the final result The mere fact of the achievement of independ- ence in itself is after all the thing to be celebrated. but the celebTants are apt to commemorate the prowess Cf the Me1d- can warriors of that time and to as- cribe the great result solely to that. As a matter of fact, but for the ending of our own civil wa, leaving this nations hands free to enforce the Monroe doc urine there would have been no Cinco da Mayo among Mexican national holi- days. The Mexicans would of course have ultimately driven the French out probably within the next half dozen years. The struggle for independence guided by such men as Diaz would ultimately have triumphed without outside interference. But there wouli have been interference in 1870 and sup posing that the rule of MaximlIian had lasted beyond the Franco-Prussian war it must have come to an end in an early period of the French republic.
 We make the same kind of mistake when we celebrate the Fourth of July. We too are apt to think that it was the Spirit of '76 which emancipated Us from British rule and forget that all our battles were not won by ourselves on American soil. The most decisive battles were those which perplexed the British in their continental wars.
 The war of 1872, though we had grown in numbers and strength, threatened to be a most disastrous one. The capital of the nation was invaded and partially destroyed by a British force The war was blazing in the north and south, increasing in intens- ity, when suddenly it came to an end without any cause which arose on this side of the water England had to gather itself together for q death grapp'e with Napoleon. It could not afford to struggle with us when its own existence was at stake.
 But, however liberty and independ- ence come they are worth celebrating and the Fifth of May and the Fourth of July will alway- be sacred days in the western republics.
