In some respects Japan's govern
ment is more alert than ours. While
our people were dickering with the
Whitehead Torpedo company of Eng
land for fifty of their improved tor
pedoes Japan stepped in and bought
900 of them in a single purchase,
and is to make other purchases OF
the same article. AS the various
naval powers think this particular
style of torpedo is the best that is
made, Japan is showing sense in get
ting a stock of them on hand.
While the United States is, by a
leading British authority, placed sec
ond on the list of the powers in naval
strength, it will be we'll for us to
keep track of the fact that Japan is
doing more naval construction than
we are at present. On the roll to-
day, in naval strength, the leading
nations stand thus: Great Britain,
the United States, France, Germany,
Japan. me United States is second
and Japan fifth. But Japan is deter
possible As Germany is doing a
good deal of shipbuilding it will be
hard for Japan to get ahead of her,
especially DIS bcIlldHS mas q iouS
| lead now. France, too, which has
| been second on the roll for third
of a century, and which our authori-
| ties believe is still second, is busy in
Naval construction, and ii she is be-
| hind us now, as the British author
| ity referred to says she is, she may
soon regain her old place next to
Grea Britain.
The naval committees of both
branches of congress should, this
| winter, take a careful look over the
ground, and arrange to put the Unit
ed States in lie second place, If it is
not there now, and to keep it in the
second place. We have a far longer
| coast line than any of the other pow
ers, and though England, with her
vast colonial system, needs a large
| navy, the United States is not far
behind in requirements of that sort.
In 1907 three British battleships of
the Dreadnaught class have been
launched, and more are to be launch
ed before December 81. This shows
that England is determined to keep
her preeminence on the water. 1t
was long the aim of the British ad-
miralty to keep England as strong
as any three other European powers
on the ocean, but this dominance has
been lost in recent years, although
England is still ahead of any two
other nations. This question of ade-
quate naval construction is a matter
to which congress should give good
deal of attention in the coming ses-
sion.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

ANOTHER MONTH.

Another calendar month is now a
page in history. October has stepped
to the stage of action. What are the
events that are to transpire during
this month? What progress is to be
marked in the development of Ely

ments are to be inaugurated or car
ried through to completion and per-
lection? It is the duty of the citizen
to strive and labor, with his shoulder
to the wheel, to make each succeed
ing month better than the last, and
to help advance the town and the dis
trict so that it will have taken place
Just little farther toward the van

to state or a community than a
first-class and modern school system.
Without uniformity of text books no
school system can be made uniform.
Without uniform and graduated
courses of study, a pupil is put to
great disadvantage in his preparation
for entrance into another higher
school, This is particularly true
when the pupil has the ambition to
enter the institutions of higher
learning of the state or of other
states.
The disadvantages of a hap-haZard,
catch-as-catch-can education are SO
apparent that it would be waste of
time to cite them Without the uni
form text book system, and without
the uniform courses in all of the
schools of the state the education of
the pupil Is hap-haZard in its char
acter, mere absorption of miscel-
laneous information which cannot be
of practical and particular benefit.
Where the uniform text book sys-
TEN is in vogue, and it has always
been found far superior to the old
style, pupils are not put to a disad-
vantage when required to change
schools. There is absolutely no uni
formity in the system in this county
or in any other county of the state.
The meeting of the deputy superin-
tendents of the schools of the state,
together with the state board of edu-
cation at Carson City, October IA,
should bring forth good results, and
it is to be hoped that these educators
will give this matter their earnest
and thoughtful consideration, and
that a uniform system of study may
be promulgated and established be-
fore the opening of the schools for
the winter semester, following the
Christmas holidays.

Making Iron Rust Proof.

Consul Albert Halsted of Birming.
nam reports that an option on the
American rights to a patent process
called "sheradiZing which, it is as
serted, makes iron anu steel rust
proof and has been used successfully
in England for little time, has been
sold to a firm in New York. He adds:
1t is claimed for this process that
it coats iron and steel with zinc as
well as or better than ordinary wet
galvanizing, and that the iron and
steel thus coated can be brilliantly
polished. In the process zinc dust
is placed in a cylinder which has been
brought to temperature of 400 to
500 degrees Fahrenheit that is, be-
low the melting point of zinc. ,he
articles it is desired to "sheradize
then revolved. The zinc in this pro-
cess is not actually melted, but forms
an alloy through the surface of the
articles absorbing the zinc, and then
coating covering the whole visible
surface is deposited to any desirable
thickness. Articles thus treated are
said to have an even and adherent
coating which wears excellently and
does not strip, and that by the use
of lime mop are easily polished.
1t has been found that the use of
a wet galvanizing process upon ar
ticles on which threads are cut made
it necessary afterward to recut the
threads. This, it is claimed, is OBJ
waited in the new process, thus avoid
ing both the additional work of re-
cutting the threads and also making
the threads themselves rust proof.
Another advantage claimed is that
because articles are not heated to a
high temperature the temper of the
steel is little affected, while its ten
sile strength and that of iron re-
mains the same. The owners of the
process assert that it will obviate the
necessity of using brass in the manu-
facture of many articles that may
rust, an important development in
view of the high cost of brass.
aluminium and anthony can be sub
stituted, it is said, for zinc, with sue
cess, while when copper and its al
Toys are subjected to this process
their surface is so hardened as to
even turn the edge of a steel tool.

MKlNLEy, THE MAN.

Six years from the date that Presi-
dent William Mckinley fell the vic
tim Of a foul assassin, mausoleum,
simple in it's architecture, noble in
its lines, magnificent in its solidity,
was dedicated with imposing services
in the city where the martyred Presi-
dent had spent the greater part of
his life.
The mausoleum resembles the life
of the great man in whose honor II
was raised Simple in his tastes and
desires; magnificent in the solidity
of his Americanism and his sterling
citizenship; noble in the purity OF
his family life, William Mckinley
created for himself a place high in
the regard of his fellow citizens.
In the years that are to come, when
this generation has passed to the
tomb. the generations that are yet to
come will remember William Mckin-
ley, not so much as President, as
Man.
The sterling integrity of his char
acter, the sweet simplicity of his life;
the fidelity and tender devotion to
his wife, afflicted with a great af-
fiction for many years-these are
the characteristics which will endear
the name of William Mckinley to the
hearts of the people.
When the wires flashed the news
across the continent six years ago
that the President had been killed,
the first question that rose from the
pain-filled heart of the Nation was:
How could one do this" The next
question was who could have done
this thing?"
Today, after the lapse of years, the
first question still rings in the hearts
of the people-but the second is I'M
uttered. He who treacherously
struck down the Chief Executive lies
-faggatteA- imam unmarked grave
"Unwept. unhonored and unsung."
He who fell as the victim of this
forgotten mans hatred of all insti-
tutions of government, is enshrined
in the hearts of the people, and will
ever remain there enshrined, beside
Washington and Garfield and the i'm
mortal Lincoln-not SO much for
what he has done, but for the clean,
pure, manly life he lived.

Electric Railroad.

1t is understood that the Pierce
Electric Railway people are looking
towards extending their line into
Emmett in the near future. 1t will
place us in close communication with
Boise and other nearby towns. Peo-
pie who visit the Capital can run
over and see this beautiful valley
without any convenience, who would
never think of coming had they to
come over the present line Nor
will the benefit be onesided, for this
end of the Payette valley is rapidly
developing and in a few years will
be one of the garden spots of Idaho.
With the advent of water on the
bench, which is assured for next
year, the development of that
tract of $4,000 acres will be added
to the cultivated area tributary to
Emmett. This tract will become
the home of hundreds of families.
No richer land can be found in the
world. An ideal climate and fertile
soil combined with an abundant
water supply, assures this valley of
becoming one of the most densely
populated sections of the state. An
electric line which will tap this sec
ton will find business from the start.
Btsides the large amount of territory
now under cultivation and that be-
ing developed. Emmett is the natur-
al outlet for large interior country
which is only awaiting proper trans
portation facilities to develop into a
rich agricultural region.
