Trip to Japanese Waters
San Diego, Cal, March 14.-News
that the American battle feet is to I'M
dertake a tour of the world within two
months after its arrival at San Fran
cisco on May was flashed by wire
less telegraph to the battleships of Ad-
miral Evans command at Magdalena
bay late last night by the government
station at Point Iona. 1t was re-
ceived ON board the vessels by officers
and crews alike with the greatest sat
isfaction.
1t had generally been understood for
some time in naval circles that the trip
back to the Atlantic station would be
made by way of SueZ so the official an
nouncement, coupled with the early date
of starting on the second half of the
great naval maneuver, gave keen pleas
ure to the men, already proud of the
notable achievements of the feet.
The messages included the news that
the itinerary of the world cruise, start
ing from San Francisco on July 6, and
including Hawaii, Samoa, Australia and
the Philippines in the points to be
visited, had been formally approved by
the president and his cabinet. They
also included the cordial messages of
congratulations from the president and
the navy department.
These messages were read to the
crews of the sixteen ships at quarters"
this morning, when announcement of
the Suez route and another round of
friendly visits to hospitable foreign
ports was made.
Admiral Evans, who will relinquish
command of the feet during its forth
coming stay at San Francisco and WI
goes on the retired list in August, wa
expecting some official word from
Washington on the subject of the fu-
ture movements of the fleet and 1t was
in view of this and to enable the depart
ment to prepare the program that
sent the message on the night of his a
rival off Magdalena bay that the ship
could start on any mission at day
notice and were in far better shape as
to machinery and efficiency of crews
than on the day of sailing from Hamp-
ton Roads.
The time for repairs will be cut
down by the excursion Of the feet t.
Puget sound to give the people of the
north Pacific coast an opportunity to
see and visit the ships which have oc-
cupied so much of the worlds atten-
ton during the last three months.
So much interest will attach to the
passage of the fleet through Asiatic
waters and along the north African
shore and southern European shores
that pressing invitations undoubtedly
will come to the president from France,
Germany and England, and ii is be-
lieved by navy officers here that the
fleet will visit all of those countries, in
stead of sailing direct from Gibraltar
to New York.
Some comment is occasioned by the
fact that no mention is made of the pos
sibility of a visit of the battleships to
Japanese waters. A formal invitation
from Japan, it is said, might be com
piled with during the stay of the feet
in the Philippines or after the compile
tion of the fall target practice.

Wisdom of State Prohibition Law

1t is believed by a good May pe0-

Jarvis strongly advises the members
to do this thing. The wisdom i1i
such Il course is open to serious ques-

the passage OF II prohibition law at
this time would have precisely lie op
pOsite effect. Enemies of temperance
would declare that snap Judgment
had been taken on them, aud in the
campaign which opens Il little later
on this would be the war cry OF the
saloon people There is no doubt
in the world that the Legislature of
1909, in regular session, will give US
a prohibition law and we can we'll AT
ford to wait Il year in order to re-
move every cause Of Objection. We
know that public sentiment is favor
able to prohibition in North Caro-
lima and it is growing stronger every
day. With the good work OF the
Anti-Saloon League, which i, 50 we'll
organized, another year OF agita ton
and education will SO perfectly
solidify public sentiment that the
prohibition law can be easily and ef
fectiveiy enforced in every community
in the State. For our own part we
hope the Legislature will attend to
the important business whic'' brings
it together and adjourn. Ha may
be wrong. OF course. but we are firmly
convinced that W.. can we'll afford 10
wait one year longer, and ;'h with
all our power the great We that is
