REPORTS from the monster British
battleship Dreadnaught, which has
lust completed cruise to the West
Indies are by no means favorable.
They are OF particular interest to this
country just now because this gov
ernment Is about embarklng on the
perilous task of duplicating the gigan-
tic lighting machine and perhaps going
her one better. The trouble seems to
lie chiefly in the use Of the steam tur-
bine as a marine engine. Now this
has been an interesting subject among
engineers and there has been q good
deal Of criticism because this govern
ment has been slow to take up the
turbine idea In warship construction,
Many OF the laity have held that we
we're slow and decade behind foreign
governments In naval construction.
But the reports OF the turbine expert
ment, for it is an experiment In big
battleship are not encouraging. Let
ters from the officers and men Of the
Dreadnaught say while she is fast
fair weather ship, she is extravagantly
wasteful Of coal at slow speeds, that
she cannot manoeuver at anything
less than racing gait, and that her
stokehold is impossible to live In at
any time. All the technical details
OF the case matter but little TO the
public. The important fact is that the
British government, much against its
will perhaps, has given US an object
lesson at an expense of several million
dollars, for all OF which when IL comes
to constructing our 10000 ton battle,
ships, we ought to be duly thankful

WHILE there is so much fuss and
speculation over the coming Republi-
can nominees for President, might 1t
not be worth while for pledge in the
nomination as well as In the platform
that it really intends to keep one OF
the essential pledges on which IL went
into Office last term, namely the re-
vision of the tariff. II the Democratic
party comes into power, there will be
no question but that the tariff will
get pretty thoroughly revised and par
ticularly in the spots where 1t most
needs revision, the emerous and un-
necessary burden that is placed on the
manufacturers that might compete
from abroad with the latest trust hogs
at the public trough. But the Re-
publican party is also pledged to tariff
revision and for three years 1t has
fiirted with the question at a safe long
range. The public has lost, all faith
In its promises and its platforms.
There Is but one thing for 1t to do II
it wishes to retain some measure Of
public confidence, and that is to
nominate some man either at the
head or the tail Of the ticket who is
an avowed tariff reyislonist and in
whose word the people would have
more faith than In the abstract pro-
mises Of the party.

ONE GHOST CAPTURED
IN DISTRICT.
Mark Phenass Uses Diplomacy to
Capture One Of the Disquieting
splrits-Sulphur Grotto Free
From Pests Now.

Possum Walk, May 9. THE A. G. A.
(Anti Ghost Association) that has
been formed here within the past two
weeks has taken decisive steps to rid
the district" OF these wandering
''shades" who have been creating no
end of havoc of late. The sequester-
ed dales where young hearts are prone
to wander in its paths of moon-lit
splendor and whisper silly nothings,
the quiet lakes set in verdant beauty
and rejecting the majestic hills who
throw their boulder crowned peaks
into the sun-kissed azure canopy and
the rolling plain that unfolds its pano-
rama toward the haze that half en-
velopes the horizon have become spots
of fear and lost their enhancing mys-
terry and eerie shadows since the ghosts
have returned and taken possession.
Probably the most successful attack
on the might providers" was Tuesday
last, when the ghost Of the famous
Sulphur Grotto was captured. This
shade has been the terror OF all the
happy couples that have been using
this spot for courting, whenever the
weather was warm enough, and es-
pecially when Mark Phenass and Mar
tina Whickletree were seated In the
shadow of its rugged exterior.
Mark, who is a slick one, has been
keeping close watch on the white fl
gure that enters the lower end Of the
little valley, at $3.50 in the evening,
and with a shrek disappears. On
feminine temperaments this is rather
strenuous and Immediately calls forth
q chorus Of shrieks that would make
an ordinary ghost shiver.
The other night when he saw this
shade appear Mark put bis hands to
his mouth and said invitingly, "Ghost
could you drink a glass OF whlskey
with me".
"Sure" was the reply and then,
when Mark laughed because he recog'
nized Mike Dolans voice, the ghost
turned and ran. Mike was sweet on
Martha once and it is thought thai
jealousy prompted his assuming the
role Of a spirit. The Association
will elect Mark president at the next
annual election.
Rumor has it that Mike is the party
who once regretted he hadn't thicker
fingers so he could get more whiskeJ
when he drank two fingers at friends
expense.
