Young Men In the Navy.
baltimore SUM-

While it seems an injustice to some of
the old officers who have ably served for
many years in lower grades, the move
ment to put younger officers in COM
mand of battleships and cruisers I'M
doubtedly tends to add to the efficiency
OF the navy. In the past years promo
ton has been so slow that before a man
attained command rank he was already
old and could serve only few years be-
fore he was retired for age. When
command rank is attained at an early
age the navy has the benefit of vigor
and initiative at the time It is most
needed. For this reason, it is no sur-
prise that in the proposed cruise around
the South American continent the bat
tleships are to be put in charge of the
younger captains, in order that they
may secure experience that will long
benefit the navy.
In this years contests in marksman-
ship and gunnery the returns show that
the gunners and those who directed the
firing were remarkably young men. On
one battleship, which is taken by naval
officers as fair example, the I2-inch
gun-pointers and trainers were of an
average age of only 24.6 years; of the
Sc men in the rest of the 12-inch crews
the average age was only Fl years. The
average Of the 81 six-inch gun-pointers
was 1913 years; of the 13 six-inch gun
captains, 22.9 years. The members of
gun crews, not including can
tains and pointers, averaged only a lit
tie over 20 years of age.
This is great showing for the clear
eye, the steady nerve and the good
training of the youngsters in the navy.

A SUGGESTION 10 OUR MERCHANTS

"A CHICAGO business man tells of his ex-
perience with newspaper advertising
and how skeptcal he was as to the results. For
years he advertised only in his windows and in
street cars lie did not think he could afford
to spend money in the papers He Had a sale Of
coats two years ago and disposed of about fifty
coats a day Then he ventured column "ad"
in an evening paper announcing his sale and the
sales jumped from 50 day to I42. He contin-
ued more freely with newspaper advertising and
the results were most gratifying. And so it
would be with other merchants who need public
ity to acquaint buyers of the kind and value Of
their wares But merchants should always have

wE HAVE THE SAME ISSUES.

H VERYWHERE good municipal govern
- ment engages the attention of thoughtful
men The idea that a municipality shall be con-
Quoted as straightforward business corpora
ton is managed, is growing. People are iearn-
ing to believe that in city government we should
get our moneys worth We should have all the
good things OF city life, such as better and clean
streets, and we should not pay extnvagantly for
them. Not only in Wilmington but in other cit
les is this question uppermost
Williamsport Pa, is in the throes of dis
oussion preceding an election where issues on this
vital subject are involved The finance commit
tee of City Council there has decided to increase
the tax rate The property owners must pay
higher taxes and upon progressively increasing
scale each year One of the leading papers OF
that city attributes the trouble to the kind of men
elected TO the city councils. We cannot alto
eether make the same complaint here. An equit-
able and legal assessment OF property is demand
ed in Wamsport And what the Wamsport
News saws % that city as follows applies to VIII
mington and to many other municipalities:
"Inscad OF equitable assessment the
city loses thousands of dollars annually
through an assessment which is ac-
knowledgcd to be unfair and illegal 1t
is illegal because it dscriminates in favor
of one kind of property as against an
other"
This is true in Wilmington We should have
"A fair assessment of the real estate here. Larger
properties should not be favored against
smaller ones The public service corporations
should be compelled to pay their own share
Sooner or later we will have thorough over
hauling of the taxation system of this city as
well as that Of the State. We must have more
equitable application OF the present methods.
Fortunately this is not partisan question
Politics will be subordinated when viewing ques-
nons Of taxation. The Municipal Convention
here recently led the way in that direction. Be
sides, after the adjournment OF the Legislature
we will not have much politics for while.
