How to Abolish BattIeshfns.

While conceding that so long as other
sfrst class nations have battleships this
country must go ahead with the con-
struction of up to date and costly
monsters, the Wall Street Journal ar
CUES that the battleship can and in the
interest of sound economy ought to be
abolished. AS to the argument on the
economic side the Journal says:
A modern battIeship of the first rank,
with full armament and equipment, costs
upward of $40 000, 900. With that money
one could build 143 miles of railroad. With
that money bank could extend $780,
100000 of credit With that money one
could buy 1000 bales of cotton. With
that money 100000 women could be sup
piled with fifty dollar spring hats, which
have become as much a modern lux
ury as battleships With that money
the universities Of Chicago. Wisconsin,
Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Cornell and Co.
lumbia could be completely financed for
one year. With that money all the stu
dents at Harvard, at Yale and the uni
versities of Chicago ARD Michigan could
defray all Of their necessary expenses for
q year. With the cost of three battle
ships even poor old Erie could be we'll
financed. Is 1t any wonder that such

for even the greatest nations of the earth
to carry? Is 1t any wonder that the am
bition of Kaiser Wilhelm to make the
navy of Germany equal to that of Eng
land is cause of disturbance to the
money markets, necessitating, as 1t does.
the putting of a new Prussian loan, re-
sulting in a financial strain in Berlin, q
drain Of sold from the Bank of England
and an export of gold from New York?
The idea that money controls every
where is not confined to Wall street
A famous general who was asked what
three things he found most essential
for success In war said, Money, more
money and still more money" Now,
says the Journal, the bankers of the
world should get together and VOW not
to finance any more battleship loans
and thus compel the different countries
to abolish the costly luxury.

Peary's Arctic Plans.

Explorer Peary is evidently not i'm
pressed by the plans Of others who
think the north pole can be 1anked or
surprised through some trick. While
preparing to set out on another voyage
in the hope Of reaching the goal he lays
in supplies for three years, although
the programme can be covered in less
than half that time with the usual
luck and ill luck of explorers.
Peary keeps the confidence Of his
hackers because he persists in the only
method which has ever given results
In arctic progress-the ship as far as it
can go and then dogs and sledges. In
this way he has already reached with
In 200 miles Of the pole. With fair
luck and favoring weather he expects
to go over much the same route to the
farthest point reached on his last voy-
age and do it quickly. His ship has
been remodeled ON plans suggested by
experience, and his march northward
from Grant Land will be regulated by
the teachings of previous trips. Spe-
cial precautions will be taken to pre-
vent the separation of the party after
the sledge journey begins. In reality
Peary knows the terrors Of arctic re-
search and instead Of trying to dodge
them gets ready for the inevitable bat
tie. 1t is hard to resist the conviction
that If he should again secure winter
quarters on the north shore Of Grant
Land before the close of summer he
would greatly surpass his previous
records. Peary himself believes that
he has better chance of success now
than ever before.

The Young Mans Chance.

Young men now leaving college may
one day be thankful that they had to
start in on their life career in a period
of comparative depression. Glowing
tales of success without hardship are
not as common as they were year or
so ago. But young men willing to
work are wanted, and the higher the
aim the better, SO long as it be reason
able and ineligible. The first thing
offered to the beginner may not be big
with promise and yet may hold in it
the germ Of the highest reward. One
Of the great captains Of American in
dustry was fond Of telling that he owed
his success to taking up the first work
at hand. He was a blacksmith and
had noticed that there were few really
good hammers and many very poor
ones in the market. He went into the
business Of making good hammers, and
good hammers made his fortune.
1t Is true that great business enter
prise can rarely be set going nowadays
without capital, and progress from the
bottom to the top-or somewhere near
the top-of the ladder may be slower
now than in the palmy days Of our ma
ton building. But there are still
chances open to make two blades Of
grass grow where only one grew be-
FORE" still latent resources to be de-
veloped and capital waiting somewhere
to back enterprise. A young mans
best capital is his stock Of hope and
resolution plus character. Older men
who have "got theirs" are willing to
bank upon this equipment because 1t
is all they started with themselves.
Anyway, from the ranks Of the begin
ners of today must come the captains
OF the future, and the best sermon for
q young man when school let's out for
him Is to mix In somewhere and hang
on.

Good Roads Needed Anyway.

Prominent men have recently been
discussing reclamation of waste lands,
reforestation, inland waterways and
other methods for conserving and de-
veloping our natural resources. Ad-
yocates of better highways insist that
the greatest need of the country today
is good roads, and their cause will get
a national hearing through the pro-
with its broad representation among
oranges, good roads associations and
farmers leagues. The arguments for
good roads are well known, and inter-
est in the subject extends every year.
About every state in the Union is
aroused, and thirty-two governors sign
ed the call for the congress. The vast
expense Of building new roads and of
keeping first class roads in repair is
the first point for consideration when
a commonwealth sets out to apply the
teachings Of the good roads congresses
and associations. Given the cash. the
question becomes one of method.
THERE'S complaint from all over the
land as to the damage done to the
really good roads by automobiles. The
earliest and some of the worst results
OF the automobile were seen on the
celebrated stone roads of Europe An
international convention is to consider
this vital subject. Vital it is because
no community is justified in going to
the expense Of building roads of the
best order until some means Of abat-
ing the evil done by the speeding au-
tomobile is discovered. This country
will be represented at the international
convention, and perhaps American
communities will learn something of
advantage in this department..
As a road destroyer and a dust
spreader the automobile has many
sins to answer for against the common
veal. The yielding tires suck the fine
particles from the surface and leave
them flying In the air, to be swept
away from the very place they are
needed to fill and bind the surface Of
the roadbed. Use has been made of
oil and coal tar to hold the dust down.
1t Is expensive. and 1t would be well
IL other means of accomplishing the
result could be found. The auto is at
Its worst when running at high speed,
and strict regulations, limiting speed
to rate not harmful, would help
some. Germany has discovered that
trees growing by the. roadside guard
the bed from extremes of heat and
cold, render 1t less productive of dust
and also act as shields to keep the
wind from sweeping away the dust
stirred up by passing vehicles. Tree
planting Is comparatively inexpensive,
and Ii trees will preserve what 1t costs
so much money to create it is worth

lation requiring every immigrant of
eighteen years and over to have at
least $25 In cash and ticket to the
point Of destination before being al
lowed to land. Notice has been given
that this check will be strictly en-
forced in the future. Furthermore, 1t
has been broadly proclaimed that the
welcome at the present time are fe-
male domestics, farmers with means
to acquire and cultivate land and ex-
perienced farm laborers. Indiscrim-
mate immigration will be discouraged.
