Our present system. or rather no sys,

relief through immediate adminiatra-

Pending a thoroughgoing investiga-
tion and action there is certain legis-
lation which should be enacted at once
The law, passed at the last session Of
the congress granting compensation 70

I approve the recommendations OF
the general board for the In:
attention to the need OF addl-
tional destroyers and coiliers. and above
all, of the four battleships. II is deslr-
able TO complete as soon as possible q
squadron OF eight battleships OF the best
existing type.
I most earnestly recommend that the
general board be by law turned into a
general stan. There is literally no ex-
cuse whatever for continuing the pres
ent bureau organization OF the navy. The
navy should be treated az a purely mili-
tary organization. and everything SHOULD
be subordnated TO the one object OF Sc
curing military efhcieneY A system
OF promotion by merit. either by selec-
ton or by exclusion, or by both
processes, should be introduced II Is out
OF tho question. II the present principle
OF promotion by mere seniority Is kept.
90 expect to get the best results from the
higher officers. Our men come too old.
and stay for too short a time. in the high
command positions.
Nothing better for the navy from every
standpoint has ever occurred than the
cruise of the battle feet around the
world. The Improvement OF the ships in
every way has been extraordinary, and
they have gained far moro experience
In battle tactics than they would have
gained II they had stayed In the Atlantic
waters. The American people have cause
for profound gratihcation, both IN view
OF the excellent condition OF the feet ~
shown by this cruise and In view Of tho
Improvement the cruise has worked In
this already high condition. do not
believe that there is any other service In
the world In which the average OF char
acter ana efficiency In the enlisted men
II ns high as IA now the case IN our own.

PRIMARY LAW
ASSURED

1t now seems certain that we will
have some kind of a primary cleo
ten law and that to take effect Al
once. Bailey and the rest of tn,
machine crowd seem to have ac-
Quiesad in the demands of the
voters and will not oppose su oh a
measure.
1t now is up to the legislature to
pass bill that will give every voter
achance to express his unbiased
preference for every officer from
senator down.
The machine stood aloof on the
matter till it became apparent that
the people were in dead earnest
about it and would hear to nothing
else, and then very gracefully fell
, into line. Now IL we do not get
square deal and good men in Office
it will look like the people are to
bllme.
