British Gunners' Records Outdone.

For several years past the navy de-
partment has not regarded it as good
policy to acquaint foreign nations
with the performances of the Ameri-
can naval gunners. It was felt that
the publication of good record made
by our men would only serve to slim
.ulate the gunners of other nations to
better their own performances, which,
in turn, would require additional
effort on the part of the American
gunners to maintain their superiority.
=. But publication relates the fact
that during the practice on board the
British channel fleet in the presence of
King Edward. one gun made nineteen
hits in twenty-one shots, thereby earn
ing decoration from the king, and it
has naturally touched the pride of
some American naval officers. They
have looked into the records of the
American gunners during the annual
target practice just closed and have
found no reason to fear a comparison
with the gunners of any other navy.
OF course, the fact of the important
elements of speed and caliber of the
British performance, makes it difficult
to arrive at an exact comparison, but
from the number of shots fired, it is
assumed that the British gun was not
more than six inches in caliber.
Taking some of the six inch guns in
the Atlantic fleet, one gunner on the
armored cruiser Maryland made
eleven shots and eleven hits in one
minute. A gun on the battleship Ohio
was fired with a perfect score at the
rate OF 1851 a minute, A six inch
gun on the battleship Maine has rec
ord of perfect score at the rate of
1O.4l a minute, and the battleship
Misssouri's best record was 1890
shots minute, each lodged in tar
get
But in the way of small guns, the
six-inch records became insignificant.
A three-pounder on the battleship Vir-
rginia made twenty shots and hits in
seventy-fve seconds, and another gun
made ten shots and ten hits in twenty
two and a half seconds-a remarkable
average of 1851 shots and hits min
ute.

sured that the new supervisors will
honestly endeavor to deal fairly and
justly with every man, for the honor
and improvement of San Francisco.
What San Francisco needs more
today than at any time in her history
is unanimity of action on the part
of her people; the setting aside of
personal ambitions and animosities
in an effort to further the common
good. We showed the world what a
united people could do in the dread
full days following last years disas-
ter. Let us show that we can unite,
at least until the coming municipal
election, to bring order out of the
confusion that at present prevails.
This is no time for criticism and
back biting, but for honest endeavor
to better the condition of the city.
The problems that confront these
men are momentous and pressing.
| Every citizen, therefore, owes it to
himself, irrespective of class or poll
tical Affiliations to give them his
whole-hearted support, that San
Francisco may be lifted out of the
slough of despond into which she is
sunken. If they cannot do that, then
at least to withhold their Judgment
until these men have been tried and
weighed in the balances of public
service.

RELATIONS OF CHURCH AND
SOCIAL PROBLEMS.

Bishop Henry c. Potter, of the
Protestant Episcopal church of New
York. in speaking on the Church
and Social Unrest" at Chautauqua.
n. Y. the other day took occasion to
say that there can be no more right
eous arrangement of the church to-
day than upon its Indifference to the
physical. mental and social needs of
the working people" and that THE
church should be related by profound
sympathy to social problems.
Bishop Potter gives expression to
a beautiful sentiment but our first
thought is as to whether it is logical
to work for a direct application of
such views The difficulty lies in the
fact that the honest views of one
church in relation to the social prob
lens of the working people might
Hot, anu "ouio hoi,
agree with the ideals of other de-
nominations.
We see nothing but good in the
teachings of Bishop Potter but while
the vogue of preaching: IF you do
not believe as l do, you will be
damned is rapidly being eliminated
from all pulpits, yet the time has
not arrived whereby all churches
are capable of working in unison
upon the direct application of the
cries in regard to our social prob
lens.
LAS We would have others do unto
you, do We likewise unto them" is
the foundation, the working basis of
all creeds and denominations. 1t is
not within human possibilities to add
to or subtract from. 1t never grows
old. 1t is never tiresome subject.
1t is the fundamental principle of all
the beautiful things of this life, and
there can be no divided opinion as to
its Interpretation.
When this will have been instilled
into congregations; when all the peo-
pie can be brought to see the beau
ties and the righteousness of the
Golden Rule, and can be made to re-
alize that therein lies the only true
happiness on earth, then will the
social problems of the workingmen"
have been solved This is the field
OF labor for our theologists.

INDIVIDUAL PROSPERITY

John d. Rockefeller is quoted as
declaring that systematic saving
and self-denial, combined with a
good deal of hard work, are the foun-
dations for every large fortune"-
and that 1.-The opportunities for ac-
curing wealth or a simple compe
tency are greater in this country to-
day than ever before
No one will for moment doubt
the wisdom of these remarks, nor
that there are many things which
tend to increase the general prosper
ity now prevailing most import
ant of them being the improvement
of transportation facilities, the ad-
vancement made along scientific lines
the development of machinery and
the system and org nization now gen.
orally adopted in business.
But while these forces are indus
triously at work enhancing the gen.
eral prosperity, there are, paradox
ical as it may seem, many others I'M
consciously employed to counteract
them and also to prevent the pros
perity of the individual-the chief
among them being the excitement
and fascination of present-day life
and the expense and effort of main
| tanning appearances in nearly every
phase of society. These are the main
forces which are now battling against
any systematic efforts toward saw
/ ing that person may put forth to-
day. And unless the individual can
save, he cannot achieve permanent
success.
A bold stroke or lucky turn in
the market may send fortune to a
person for a time-but without the
knowledge of how to save and econ
omize, fortunes fade away and pros
perity, to that person, becomes a
fleeting phantom and a myth.
The average citizen of today is
enjoying what was yesterday deemed
a luxury for the rich, and unless the
pace is checked, the one of tomor-
row will enjoy the luXuries of the
wealthy of today-and so this great
Ireign of prosperity goes whirline
and swirling along and only those
who do not allow their persona
wants and imaginary necessities to
lead them into unnecessary eXtrava
gancies can hope to be accounted
successful when prosperity descends
| from her throne.

THE NEW SUPERVISORS.
San Francisco Record.

San Francisco Record.
The men whom Mayor Taylor has
chosen for appointment as supervis-
ors should meet with the appreciation
of every sane. thinking citizen, ire
spective of political or other leanings.
While 1t is sincerely to be regretted
that the men who really represent
labor-the real leaders and econo-
mists as differentiated from the agi-
tators and politicians-found it i'm
possible to act on the board, still la
Dor, nor, in fact, any other class, has
reason to find fault, for the men
chosen are thoroughly representa-
tive, capable, honest citizens whose
previous reputation is a guarantee of
their future performances.
1t has been said by way of criti-
cism that these men were not chosen
of the people. and that some of them
who had previously served on the
board of supervisors had been de-
feated at the polls, which might be
taken as sign of public reputation.
Such is by no means the case. No
citizen who sincerely loves this city
can honestly stand forth and claim
that self-confessed boodlers are rep
resentatives of the people, for to do
so is to place himself in the same cat
egory with those destroyers of hon.
est government and American insti-
tutions. AS a matter of fact, where
the instruments chosen of the peo-
ple'' prove recalcitrant or faithless
to their trust, no twisting of the law
can justify their retention in Office,
even though extra legal means are
used to Gust them, which SO far has
not been done.
1t is not to be expected that every
one of Mayor Taylor's appointees
will be satisfactory to every inerest
but as they are all men of business
and professional experience, who
have worked their way to success in
their chosen callings, and who with
all their worldly wisdom are nos
sessed of ideals that make for good
every class may feel as
