IN INTEREST OF PEACE
Admiral Dewey Discusses Trans

DOES NOT EXPECT TROUBLE

Be Prepared for II.

Be Prepared for II.
New York July 9.-Admiral Dewey,
who is sojourning for the summer al
Richfield Springs, N. Y, is quoted in
an interview published in the Amer
lean, as saying in regard to the trans
fer of the batt,eship fleet to the Pa
cific:
1T is a pity we have not ships
enough to keep powerful fleets in both
oceans, but since we have not 1t seems
that in the interest of peace it is best
at this time that our fleet should be
in the Pacific.
This cruiser transfer, or whatever
you like to call it, is mission OF
peace. | do not think it likely that
this country will become seriously In
volved with any power. But if trouble
should come by any chance it is well
to be fully prepared for 1t.
1T is necessary for us to hold the
balance of sea power on the Pacific
The Gefenses on that coast are not VI
the nation that has this power con-
trolls the situation was proven in our
war with Spain.
There were 175,000 Spanish sol
diers on the island when Cervera' s
fleet started out of the harbor of San
tiago de Cuba. With the sinking OF
the feet the war practically ended.

so big and has such vast internal re-
sources that it cannot be bottled up
as were the Spaniards, but the neces-
sity for power on the seas remains"
In discussing the possibility of the
feet going to the Philippines the ad,
mira. said:
Philippine Climate Bad.
81 would say that unless the danger
was most imminent 1t would not be ad-
visable to concentrate a large fleet
with hundreds of officers and thou
sands of men in Philippine waters.
The climate is not right. as l know
from personal experience.
81 believe one of the reasons we
had such an easy victory over the
Spanlards was that they had been so
long In that enervating climate. | am
certain that we would not have fought
so we'll when we left as when we en-
tered.
An enemy might take the Philip
pines and Hawaii, but as soon as we
met them on the sea they would have
to give them up. The very presence
of our sea force in the Pacific will
serve every purpose"
Admiral Dewey said there should be
no trouble in taking the fleet around
the Horn into the Pacific. The battle
ships, he said, should have no more
difficulty than a ferry has In crossing
to Hoboken 1t was merely ques-
tion of coal and a question of dollars.
So far as leaving the Atlantic coast
unprotected by the transfer of the
fleet Admiral Dewey said there was
nothing to fear. There were no en-
emies to threaten the Atlantic coast,
he said, and even if there were the
army could take care of them. The
admiral said the coast defenses there
are in excellent shape.

MAN DECREASING IN SIZE.

Man is decreasing in size as his
consciousness increases. Within g.
OOO,O00 years man will be no larger
than the present S-year-old hoy.
For the past 100 years, until 10
years ago, man. physically, was be-
coming weaker and weaker. His en-
vironments during the last 10 years,
however, have had a tendency to
improve his condition Man is on
the mend.
Modern methods of living and pat
ent health foods are not advantageous
for the proper development OF the
human body. They are taking man
away from nature.
Mans consciousness is merely the
caretaker of his body.
Such thing as an individual opin-
ion IS out of the question. There is
no such condition. Opinions are
formed from experiences, our en-
vironments, our experiences and life
as we are not capable of forming an
individual opinion.
Authority for the statement that
eventually we all will be mere dwarfs
or Tom Thumbs is Alois P. Swo-
boda. Chicago and New York, of
physical culture fame, who is at the
Hotel Portland, accompanied by his
family, says the Journal. But as this
evolution of the human body Is
something like 100000 years away
according to the expert, there is no
need for worry on the part of the
present generation. But even when
we are all small-three feet, maybe,
or even smaller-we will be perfect
ly formed; that is, we will be shaped
after the same style as we are to-
day
Professor Swoboda believes this is
bound to come on account of the
great mental development Of man.
This Is on the increase to meet the
conditions of business and life in
general. As the brain power increas-
es, he says, man will gradually but
suTely ueCredSe III size.
Eventually there will be scarcely
nothing for man to do by physical
labor" the culturist said this morn
ing This will be brought about by
the invention of new machinery and
other ingenious affairs that will do
away almost entirely with physical
exertion.
This will leave man with only the
brain work to do. We were all large
originally for self protection. AS our
consciousness develops this will all be
unnecessary Machinery and other
marvellous inventions will take care
of us. do our fighting. attend to our
work; in fact. accomplish almost
everything except the absolute func-
tions OF the brain. So in my mind
the human race is to become much
smaller-about the size of an S-year-
old child. But for this great change
something like 100000 years will be
required"
Professor Swoboda is on his way to
southern California where his family
will spend the winter.

THE sERPENTINE ROAD.

Far up this road that overhangs the
town,
linger while the sun slips down
to rest;
The river cleaning golden up and
down
Its glorious length; the eastern hills
red-brown
And purple in this light-for even
ing dressed
In gorgeous hues-all quell a dull
unrest
And lay upon the cross Of day, a
crown.
Though tortuous its climb, this rough
ascent
Is lined its winding length with
flowers sweet;
And smuggled deep in oaks, the
town, content,
In easy comfort nestles at ones
feet;
So each true striving finds its nour-
ishment,
And each acquired height its view
complete.

"THE HOME PAPER"

Mr.. Warren, the advertising man.

The ideal advertising medium is

which is so filled with good thoughts
for every member of the family that
1t finds a warm welcome an an eager
reading wherever 1t goes.
1t is free from crime and scandal
and unwholesome things It is not
boastful nor too much given to find

the people by its simplicity, honesty,
purity and progressiveness. 1t ham

of people It emphasizes the hope

ton for correctness. 1t regulates its
advertising pages by reasonable re-
quirements, regarding display and IL
lustrations. so that the page presents

AS NEAR AS HE DESIRED.

A couple of New Yorkers were
playing golf on a New Jersey course
on election day when they saw a
fine appearing old gentleman looking
at them wistfully. They asked him
to join the game, which he did with
alacrity. He was mild in speech and
manner and played well. But once
he made a foozle he calculated vehe-
mently the word:
"Croton"
A few moments later when he had
made another bad play he repeated:
"Croton"
The fourth time he said this one
Of his new made friends said: 'T do
not want to be inquisitive, but will
you tell me why you say 'Croton' SO
often?"

On the English hog has resulted in the

land China, Small Y orkshire and sSuf-

.markably prepotent, as is shown by the
tendency of the modern breeds to re-
vert to the original type. This is doubt
less owing to the many centuries of in
breeding which have so firmly fixed it's
characteristics. One of the most i'm
portant of these is its propensity to
fatten under the most adverse circum-
stances. This superabundance Of fat
prevents the flesh Of this breed being
highly esteemed in this country, but it
has had a most valuable effect in modi-

They are great fishermen, the only
owls to make this sort of hunting a

sitting, silent and motionless, like a

water waiting for chance to nab an
unsuspccting fish. Of course this is
not a very paying way to get living,
