belief that japan is preparing for a
naval struggle with the United States
or that an American feet is moving
to the Pacific capital for the express
purpose of providing against this con
tingency, but the injurious influence
which repeated and aggravated sug
gestions by Admiral Evans and the
press may have upon the minds of the
most excitable, sensation loving peo-
pie upon the earth. In word. it
seems quite evident that President
Roosevelt has Willingly furnished the
material for a scare"
The Nation discards the idea that
either President Roosevelt or Japan
Is willing to undertake today a set
Element by force or otherwise of the
race blending problem, which is one
of the greatest that the world has to
face. 1t ascribes all the Presidents
motives to the exigencies of domestic
politics and sees that the first desire
on his part is to force a big naval
appropriation. It goes on to say: Fin
ally, the incidental service rendered
to the government by a parade of
ton is approaching must not be left
out of account. This may be regard
ed as an orthodox piece of Campaig
ing tactics. At one time it took the
familiar form of twisting the lions
tail and brandishing the Monroe Doc
trine. More than once the United
States has run grave risks of war in
playing what is in fact a domestic
party game. Though other considera-
tions are probably dominant in Presi-
dent Roosevelt's mind and underlie
his determination to persist in moving
the fleet, the politicians whom he con-
suits are well aware of the advan-
tage of creating or conniving at a
foreign situation which shall posses
at any rate so plausible semblance
of crisis as to enable them to quote
the familiar proverb about not swap
ping horses while crossing a stream"
At home the newspaper view is
quite as antagonistic as anything
which is printed abroad although
some of the newspapers are in favor
of the movement for the reasons
which are given by the administra-
ton. 1t is certain that the incident
will afford the opportunity of a con-
gressional attack upon Mr.. ROosevelt's
naval policy, and unless there is some
very good reason back of the order
sending the ships to the Pacific coast,
there will be a directly adverse effect
upon naval appropriations. This is
not likely to go so far as to cut down
any usual provision for maintenance,
but it may have it's influence upon
that legislative liberality which is ca
silly checked in favor of an increase
of the Navy, and it is certain to block
effectually any attempt to obtain re-
lief for the naval personnel. 1t would
seem to be the better part of loyalty
for American newspapers to assume
that the President and his advisors
have not INDUCED in capriciOus extra
vagance in sending the ships to the
Pacific ocean. If there is the least
evidence that we need a larger naval
force in the Pacific, it is nothing short
of executive duty to have the ships
in that part of the world.-Army and

On this cruise the American fleet is
to look upon many foreign powers and
exchange courtesies with foreign fleets
in several places in Brazil, Chile, Ar
gentina and other countries. The
American commander supposing he is
to retain his present title of Rear-Ad-
miral, would be outranked, for the
navies of all other countries contain
officers of the grade of Vice-Admiral,
which would make the American COM
mander's position humiliating.
1t would be pointed out in Admiral
Evans case that not only is he by
his remarkable service entitled to this
advancement, but any objections to the
creation of this new grade that might
be preached in Congress might be over
come by pointing to the fact that as
Admiral Evans retires next August, the
office will be of short duration.

WASHINGTON, October 27.-The
great battle-ship fleet which is to make
its way from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific will probably be commanded by a
Vice-Admiral, and that officer is now
Real-Admiral Robley D. Evans. OF
course, this is conditional upon Con-
gress giving it's sanction to the pro-
posal that will be made by the Presi-
dent to establish this new rank
Rear-Admiral Evans is going to sail
in command of the most powerful fleet
that ever gathered under the American
flag. Not only that, but he commands
more battle-snips of modern type than
any other naval officer in the world.
and the only commander whose blue
pennant floats over a more numerous
fleet of all kinds of war ships is Lord
Charles Beresford, and he is of greater
rank than a Vice-Admiral, being an
Admiral, like Dewey.

"A feature of the railroad problem
that is of special interest to the North
west will come up in the shape OF
amendments to the laws regulating
changes in railroad rates. / think one
that has real merit is that proposed by
the lumbermen requiring that notice
shall be given by the railroads to the
interstate commerce commission be-
fore rates are increased and its approx
al secured. This will enable shippers
to adjust their business to the pro-
posed change before it is made.
Foreign immigration is another
question that will undoubtedly be Civ
en- attention. At the last session an
educatioDsi test was defeated. / think
this feature will be renewed in the dis
cussion OF the problem. My own feel
ing is that there should be further re-
strictions and requirements. While it
is true we need labor, we can endure
this want better than filling up the
country with undesirable immigrants"

CYPRESS KNEES
How They Are Formsd-TreeS Curious
Blunt Roots.


Blunt Roots.
The cypress knee Is a familiar object
In all the lowiand forests OF the south,
but there are thousands OF northern
people who have never seen them, and
there are many southern people, too,
who hare not seen them till they
stumbled over them some dark night
The knee Is Of solid wood, has no limbs
or leaves, is anywhere from six inches
to six feet In height, and its rounded
top and fattened sides give 1t very
much the shape Of a human leg bent at
the knee tin thigh and calf are brought
together; hence the appropriate name
Of knee"
For number Of years I was curious
as to what part the knees played in
the life of cypress tree, writes cor
respondent Of Forest and Stream, for
they are part Of its root system and do
not grow independently. They were
not sprouts, trying TO grow into trees.
for they never developed branches and
The final conclusion was that their only
use was for people to stumble over.
IlOW dlbu why SUCH USELESS appeuudS6S
to the tree were formed was mys-
terry until one day when drifting down
deep channel which had been washed
through a cypress swamp the secret
was exposed.
The earth had been washed away
from the roots Of some of the trees,
and roots in all stages Of growth were
In sight. None Of these roots was less
than two and one-half inches thick and
Of uniform size clear to their tips or
rather clear to their blunt ends, for
there was no tip.
Nature intended these roots to grow
In soft mud, and they were all right
for that purpose, but when the blunt
end Of q root encountered something
too hard to push through it bent or
buckied in the line Of least resistance,
and this was generally toward the top
Of the ground. and the continuing
growth of the root pushing the bend
further upward made the bend closer,
until finally the two arms of the bend
were close together and they grew to-
gether, with one sheet of bark inclos-
ing both.

A WHISTLER STORY.

Fighting Cock,

The Eagle That Was Made to Pose -
FlgIrtipg Cock
Apropos OF something Whistler once
told u cockhght story 30 wildly that
only a man with SAILOR instinct could
tell it as well, mimic 1t 80 keenly and
enjoy 1t so thoroughly. 1t was a story
of strange species Of the American
cock, pictured to the smallest detail 80
beautifully that one forgot that II was
a STORY.
Some American sailors were at a
cocknght IN seaport town IN Eng
land when one OF them remarked to
the owner of the champion:
I'VE have got an American cock on
board that can whip any bird here
'Go fetch I'm on" said the champion.
"Chuck I'm In and see. II "e ticks one
bird we ave plenty more to throw In
that can lick hany blawsted Hamer-
can bird you can fetch ere"
"All right Well bring one" said the
sailors. When they got aboard they
rugged up an American eagle. After
their OWL manner, they painted, trim
med, spliced and reefed fore and aft,
transforming the eagle 10 a cock. When
ready they went ashore to pit their
new American gamecock against all
England.
At the pit the sailors chucked in
their cock, which booked around for
other surprises as he backed close to
the wall
NOW, bring on your birdsr yelled
the sailors. A strutting cock was
thrown into the pit and was another
surprise to the poor dismantled eagle.
He backed up closer and closer to the
wall, wondering what would happen
next The cock walked three times
majestically around the circle, cutting
at his strange opponent, the eagle pitt
ably abashed and bedrabbled, crouch
ing lower and lower and looking
around and above him for an explana-
ton Of what 1t all meant, while the
crowd were yelling madly for the
English fighter. The eagle made him
self smaller and smaller. but at last,
finding that he could get back no fur
Their and thinking that something was
expected Of him, and, as the cock
dashed at him again, stretched out bis
long claws and took his opponent by
the neck.
Here Whistler ended with an imita.
ton by motions Of what the eagle did
He stretched out his arm, shaped his
hand like a claw which by this time
looked like a real one, drew it to his
mouth and with one bite pulled of
the head as he thought an eagle might
do 1t. Then he looked blandly about
the room, as the eagle had done, at'the
astonished crowd and said, Now bring
on your other btrls."-Otto Bacher IL
