Contrary to widespread popular be-
lief, it is not absolutely necessary to
graduate from the Naval Academy at
Annapolis, Nd, to become a commits
stoned officer in the United States
Navy. Although until recent years, ev-
cry officer of the Line had to be grad
uate of that institution, such is no
longer the case, commissions in that
hranch of the service being now open
20 enlisted men, some of the Geutenants
and ensigns having risen from the
ranks, with the higher grades awaiting
shem in due season. However, the reg
alations governing promotion from the
ranks are so strict, and the require
Ments of a modern naval officer in the
way of professional, technical attain
ments so strict, that few of the many
thousands of enlisted men in the ser
vice can hope to secure commissions
The Line of the Navy is composed al
most wholly of graduates from the
Naval Academy, to which appointments
can be made only by a Representative
IN Congress, Senator or the President
Each representative is entitled to one
midshipman at Annapolis at time;
each Senator one; each Territorial Dele
gate one; and the President may APP
point ten annually cat large' a
young man between Is and 20 years
Of age, of robust constitution and good
health, may enter the academy provid-
ed he secures the appointment from one
Of the officials named, and passes the
entrance examination. His graduation
depends wholly upon himself. He
Braves the academy, if successful, at
sac end of four years; spends two years
st sea on a regular cruising man-of
war, and then, after a final graduation
examination, he is commissioned as an
ensign.
Congress has provided, however, that
each year limited number of young
nen, not over 35 years of age, who
have passed through the grades of en-
listed man, petty officer and warrant Of
9eer, may, provided they pass a thor
sRgh examination, be commissioned as
easigns, without going through An.
napolis, but this examination is so
severe that few save those who have
had the Annapolis education for four
years can pass it.
The Line officers of the Navy are
those who navigate the ships, exercise
vilitary command, fight the guns and
saperintend the running of the machin-
sry, for there is no longer an engineer
corps, the officers of the line perform
3ag engineering as well as their other
3aties.
The staff officers are the members of
the Construction, Medical and Pay
Corps of the Navy. The naval con,
sesnetors are all graduates of the naval
academy, but the medical and pay Off
oses are appointed from civil life, after
competitive examinations, as vacancies
occur Full information as to vacan-

WOOL GROWERS
ASSOCIATION

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 25.-
Plans to break up the wool trust"
will form the principal topic OF dis
cussion at the annual convention of
the National Wool Growers Associ-
alton, which convened here today
for three days session Many lead
ing wool growers are in attendance
from Wyoming. Colorado Oregon,
Utah. Washington. Arizona. Mon
tana and Idaho and other states and
territories
The growers believe that the
pi oblem OF giving them the control
or the industry and eliminating the
middleman and speculator can be
solved by the establishment OF
storage warehouses in the chief wool
growing centers. This pan has been
placed in operation on a small scale
in st. Paul and Omaha and the re-
sultls have been highly satisfactory
II is now proposed to inaugurate
the scheme on large scale. with
the establishment OF large storage
plants in Chicago. Denver, Omaha
Kansas City. Minneapolis and other
| market centers. A committee Of the
| association has been investigating
the subject for several months ant
will report the results OF Its labOr'
| to the present convention.

Considering that the ladies are willing to suffer
the humiliation of being arrested by pebeian po-
iceman and imprisoned it s evident that the age Of
martyrdom has not receded into the mystic realms
of ancient history. In time perhaps womans sui
frage will become reality, but the masculine gender
unwilling to yield single ota of his cherished
prerogratives. He is contented with present con-
dtions and believes with all the force of his sturdy
manhood that woman's sphere is the home and that
she is not fitted to take mans part in shaping the
destinies of municipal or national government. What
u pathetic figure she would be on the stump! What
bitterness she would have to endure on becoming
the object of ridicue by her opponents Surely the
ordeal would be too severe for her to endure. 1t
would be all right to permit women to VOTE but it
would be calamity TO allow them to run for office.

FInSer-Print System.


THE finger print system again saves man from
being victim of strong chain OF circumstantial
evidence. The incident occurIedat Fort Scott, Kan
sas, and the suspect arrested for the crime of
robbng postofice. The evidence strong
that the prisoner about to be convicted, when
he confessed to the authorities that he could estab
lish his innocence by having the imprint of his fin
gers taken. This was complied WITH and he then
advised the officers to send the prints to the Indiana
penitentiary where it ascertained that the man
had been released two days after the robbery had
occurred The prisoner was very reluctant to con-
fess his past, as he had broken his parole and still
had two years to serve. If he had remained silent
it is likely that he would have received five years,
so he chose the lesser evil, thus hitting crcumstan-
tial evidence a severe blow. In most where
the evidence hinges upon nothing surer than circum
stantial evidence it would be we'll to bring in the
Scotch verdict of mot proven"
Some one has said that appearances are de-
ceitfu Surely there is nothing more deceptive
than chain of evidence that cannot be proved by
an witness Almost any stranger be
convicted such process Of reasoning, for it
is difficult for to prove conclusively where he
might have been at such day. According to the
foregoing incident it is fortunate that the man had
been in prison the time of the robbery else he
would have paid the penalty for crime that some
one else had committed.
