AGAINST THE ApJEcrIvEs.

Our big war fleet, or peace fleet, sail ed grandly away, with our warlike, or peaee-loving President proudly bidding it farewell. Magnificent" splendid. unprecedented, were some of the ad- ectives used in describing it, and only some. Such and so many were the ad- jectives used that most good and pa triotic United States folks firmly be- lieve that that fleet could easily lick anything that rides the wave. But here comes Henry Reuterdahl, who has studied warships long and well, saying that our fleet isn't what the adjectives have cracked it up to be. He even hits our high-blown pride the cruel swat of likening our fleet III some ways to the Russian fleet which went forth to meet Japan and death and destruction. His main charge is that the ships are all too low in the water to wage an eff fective engagement. when fully loaded for sea. practically the whole of the ships water-line arnor belt is under water. Above this is thinner armor, which can be pierced by heavy shells, The standard heavy gun of to-day throws steel projectile 12 inches in diameter 4 feet long and weighing BRO pounds, charged with high explosive, l The bursting of one of these shells in this thinner secondary armor would tear hole bigger than a door upon a ships water-line. MT Reuterdahl fur ther alleges that the guns in the for ward turrets could not be used in a rough sea, and that the situation of the hroadside guns is quite as bad. as they are only about eleven feet above the water
 Of course MT. Reuterdahl may not be a better naval man than those who design, make and run our battleships, but he talks well, If we are half as badly off in the matter of fighting ships as he says we are there must be some more appropriations. But as the ships have gone on a mission of peace there will be no actual test of his the ory.

AN IMPRESSIVE STATEMENT.

N Elsewhere in this mornings issue of The Journal-Courier will be found a statement of the attitude of the pas tors and deacons of the United church towards the proposed Chapman re- vival program. It should be read wBth the greatest respect as docu- ment breathing the most generous and brotherly consideration for the other pastors and deaeons of the city churches already committed to these meetings We have rarely met with an official statement which can so squarely demand respect for it's nobil- ity of dictiqn and dignity of spirit
 Nothing could be finer tan this closing paragraph Because we find ourselves unable officially to cooper ate with the other churches we are the more anxious to say nothing that may prejudice any soul against the cause That is the sentiment which is essential to the upbuilding of the real fatherhood of God and the brother hood of man. If it were more gener- ally practiced in this contrary world of ours there would be no need for re- vival meetings for the sudden re- demption of men.

some signs of the Time.
(The Indianapolis News.)


 The people will not stand for a revel Of license on the part of the great interests, Everywhere in this country political organization is growing stronger. Railroad commissions, health boards, public utilities commissions and many similar functions show that the people are waking up to a clearer and more complete control of their inter, ests. They are signs of the times Add to this the fact that in no country, in the world is public opinion so quickly y and so powerfully concentrated as with us and congressman and high fnanciers. who are taking long breath now, expecting that things will be easy will do wisely to have anS other breath coming You cannot tool ali the people all of the time. The American people are awake, and if need be will show promptly and effectively that their safety and progress and tht control of their affairs do not depend on any one man.

Only One Sea Power.
(The Kansas City Times. }


 In the audacity of puny triumphs na- tions are called sea powers, But there is only one sea power and that is the sea itself. Far famed our navies melt away"-within hundred yards of the best charted shore stout ships are as bubbles That sea that Is as familiar when calm to little boats and ferries and tugs as are the thoroughfares of a city to it's crowds of humanity takes on ali the aspect of chaotic terror when winds and storms prevail. The waters so close as to reflect the friendly lights of the great metropolis are as alien to the forces of men as are the depths 0f the furthest ocean. Lord Bryon's "Apostrophe" has lost none of it's tre- mendous reality in all the progress from the little wooden sailors to our greatest merchantmen and ironclads, Nor can its truth be lessened in all the maturest development we can dream of.

Christmas tree business rising thirty

 where l could scrape together ongy three when began this business. You want to know how that is? Well, I will tell you. Christmas trees are not found in the thick growth, as many imagine, but are new growth, mainly in pasture lands. The average farm or used to keep his pasture land freed from this growth but he learned by experience that the trees did not seri- ously interfere with grazing, and that he could sell them to the Christmas trade at a fair profit. That's why there are more Christmas trees now than there were years ago.

Premier Stolypin's fury over the ref erence by an eloquent orator in the Douma to "stolypin's necktie' is com prehended by those who know the as sociattons of the 0necktie' phrase in Russian history, Over forty years ago there was an instruction in Poland which was crushed with the hangman's moose and the phrase 'Muravieff' s necktiea became a byword among the Russian people. The present premier naturally detests the suggestion that his stern government the past two years is to be compared with Mura- vieffs.

BRIDGE CASE
Up In Judge Hsrter's Court and InIune
tlon Against Commissioners and
Contractor Was Issued.

Judge Harter yesterday allowed the
issuance OF temporary Injunction in
the case brought by Levi A. stoner,
representing the Taxpayers associa-
tion, against the county commission
ers and Contractor Landor II will
have the effect of preventing them
from doing any more work in connec-
tian with the erection OF a new con-
crete bridge to replace the old Tre-
mont street structure in Masslllon.
The defendants demurrers to the
petition were overruled. Chief among
those was the one that the plaintiff
should have properly gone to the
county prosecutor before he com
meneed his action. 1t was ruled that
the fling Of bond was all that was
necessary.
While the defendants have four
weeks In which TO hle the answers
TO the plaintiffs petition II is not
thought abe case will again come up
during this term OF court owing TO
the crowded condition OF the docket.
