China and have come to this country
more for graduate instruction..
PresidAnt Roosevelt this week
acted in the interest of two west
5ern young men, midshipmen at An
$apolis. They we're Oscar g. Salb, Of
Indiana, and Clarence c. Riner, of
Wyoming. The two young officers
were already dismissed from the
naval academy by Superintendent
Badger for leaving the institution
without permission. This would
have placed a stigma. on the records
of both young men, which the presi-
dent thought too severe a punish
ment Accordingly he held up the
order of dismissal and the two young
officers will be given an opportunity
to resign. Both are members OF the
fourth class. ing
One of the subjects likely to re-
ceive considerable attention from
congress at the next session is that
of industrial education From all
parts of the country have come COM
plants of the difficulty of securing
skilled mechanics. Many large en-
ployers of trained labor believe that
the greatest menace to the continued
commercial supremacy of the United
States is the disappearance of the
efficient and adapted craftsman
to- whom many labor-saving inyen-
lions have been due. This failure
in the supply of high-class labor is
attributed to the abandonment of
the apprenticeship system and the
omission to substitute for 1t any COM
prehensive plan of practical manual
| training. The Davis bill, introduce
ed last winter, provided for appro-
priations amounting to $4.0O0,000 for
this purpose. This bill, with some
alterations, is likely to be urged up
on the federal law makers again at
the next session. The Citizens In
Isdustrial association, which is made
| up of representatives if employers,
organized labor and the general pub
lie, is planning to take up this sub
4 ject at its annual convention at Bat
tie creek, early in October, with a
view to recommending systematic
plan of legislative treatment by the
Ilawmaking bodies of both the nation
\ and the states in providing for
schools that will turn out young men
equipped to enter the skilled trades.
As this convention is the largest ga
lttering OF the year dealing exclu-
siYely with matters pertaining to la
Dor and contains representatives Of
| all classes, its conclusions are likely
to carry weight with the members of
congress. "a S77
Ruddy of face and firm Of step,
| former Senator John C. Spooner, of
| Wisconsin, made flying visit to the
| national capital this week. He is
practicing law at present in New
| York and, according to his friends,
lis earning ten times the amount he
| would have derived from his salary
in the upper chamber of congress.
The senator, it will be remembered,
resigned his seat May / on the
ground that he desired again to
/ take UP the practice of law in or
der that he might earn enough money
4 to keep himself and family in the de-
clining days of his life. He de-
clined positively to discuss politics,
declaring he was out of politics now
4 and too busy with legal affairs to
i give the matter any thought. Al
though he has been busfly engaged
ever since he left public life, Mr.

than he has for the last two years. Id
