Among no class of men does a great
or difference of opinion exist on va
rious questions than among that class
engaged in journalism. A striking
evidence Of this is stem in two widely
different opinions of two prominent
newspaper men in regard to the real
character of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,
whose name is now being set up in
newspaper type thousands of times
cvsry day. Saturday we reprinted the
opinion of the editor of the Utah State
Journal, who idealized Evelyn Nesvit
Thaw, and said she was n of the
best girls who eve promised to love,
honor, cherish and obey a man who
ever took q marriage vow.
In contrast to this ideal character
portrait of the woman in the famous
New York murder case, is the opinion
Of the editor Of the Nevada State
Journal, who says Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw is q strumpet, a harlot with a
lying tongue, and a painted. woman of
the town, in the following editorial:
eff q trial for murder we're in pro-
grces in this state the Journal would
refrain from discussing it during the
taking Of evidence, but we feel at
liberty to say what seems to be Ieces-
sary about the Thaw case, in New
York, partly because what this paper
may publish can have 10 influence up
on the matter and partly because the
case il being thrown at the public in
a way that is intended to help Thaw.
The story told by the woman who
is the center of the tragedy was a
dramatic one, and the surroundings of
weeping women, agitatcd men and
affected lawyers and court officials,
might well be calculated to disturb
the honest Judgment of any body of
jurors. But all her testimony cannot

Washington. Oct. 26-For the first time in its
history the American navy will be able to en-
sage in manruvres employing practically thir-
ty-two battleships-to be exact sixteen battle
ships and sixteen armored and protected cruis-
ers of almost the same size and power as battle
ships-as a result Of the Pacific cruise, which IS
ordered to start on December -. Great Britain
has often conducted manRuvres with larger
fleet and is doing so at this time but hereto
fore the American navy has never assembled

Never before has the modern American navy
been left much 10 its own resources as Will
be the case when the Atlantic and Pacific reets
assemble in Magdeena Bay. on the coast of
Lower California. In the past the Atlantic
fleet has usually remained along the Atlantic
shore where numerous navy yards within
easy access and where repairs quickly and
economically be made. while the Pacific fleet
has generally remained comparatively the
yards the Pacific Coast. the Philippine yard,
At Olongapo or the foreign yards the AsiatiC
Coast, to which our ships have more than once
been compelled TO resort for repairs.
