Brownson's Action UnseemIy.


 The presidents letter says in part:
 "The action of the late chief of the bureau, Admiral Brownson, in tender ing his resignation because he did not agree with the president and the de partment regarding an order issued be- " fore he came into the bureau by the . secretary of the navy, as to the con- trol of the hospital ships, was unseem- ly and improper and, coupled with the various controversies among the off cers of the navy and their adherents as to details of naval construction and methods of training. has undoubtedly been prejudicial to the interests of the navy and may seriously impair the confidence in the navy which is essen tial to securing the legislation so sorely needed by the navy. The way fin which the controversies have been car ried out is highly injurious to the serv- ice. whether the communications are made openly over the signatures of the naval officers or by civilians who have evidently gained their information from naval officers.
 Deplores Weakening of Discipline.
 "I would willingly pass over the con duct of Admiral Brownson because of his fine service in the past if it were not that at a time when a new chief is chosen to succeed him 1t becomes imperative to stamp with disapproval the behavior which. if followed throughout the navy generally. would literally ruin the navy's efficiency.
 "The question whether one officer or another shall command ship is of lit tie consequence compared with the weakening of all command and disci- pline which would result if officers were to refuse to serve whenver their tenn pers are rufiied by adverse decisions on the part of their superIors. Their sole concern should be the good of the serv- fec. and, save only lack of courage in actual warfare. obedience and loyalty are the most essential qualities in keep ing the service up 10 the highest stand ard
 The Hospital Ship Question.
 The presidents second letter to Mfr. Metcalf is m argument to sustain his decision to assign medical officers to the command of hospital ships. He re- calls an order of the navy department. made by Secretary BOnaparte. direct ing that hospital ships be placed under command of a medical officer. Such ships. the president therefore directs. shall hereafter. unless otherwise d. rected by congress. be placed under the control and command of medical officers. their navigation being exeln- sively controlled by a competent sail ing master and civilian crew the sail ing master having the complete respOn- sibility for everything connected with the navigation of the ship.
 Hospital ships should be maintain cd in time of peace exactly under the same conditions as in time of wsr." declareS the president The system has been tried ia the arny and tried in foreign navies with succeSs--

 loyalty to Navy" Says Roosevelt.

Washington, Jan. 6. - President Roosevelt's attitude on the question of the command of hospital ships in the navy, which resulted in the resigna- ton of Rear Admiral Willard H. brownson and incidentally some caus- tic observations on that incident and the controversies among the naval off cers and their adherents as to details of naval construction and methods of training, were made known here when Secretary Metcalf gave to the press two letters from the president address ed to him on the subjects.
 In the first of these letters President Roosevelt. without mincing words, con demns in unmeasured terms the act of Admiral Brownson, declaring it to be unseemly and improper. The question as to which Admiral Brownson took issue with the navy department, the president declares, is one that there can be entirely legitimate differences of opinion on. but" he adds, there is no room for difference of opinion as to the gross impropriety of the admiraPs conduct in resigning sooner than carry out the orders of his superior officers in such matter.
 I Admits Defects In Navy.
 "The officers of the navy must re- member that it is not merely childish, but in the highest degree reprehensible to permit either personal pique, wound ed vanity or factional feeling on behalf of some particular bureau or organiza- ton to render them disloyal to the in terests of the navy and therefore of the country as a whole
 Regarding the controversies in the navy. the president admits there al- ways are and always will be defects to correct both in the construction of ships and in the organization of the department and in the actual drill Of the fleet. It is well, he says. that these defects be pointed out. but it is also well that they should be pointed out without hysterical exaggeration or malicious untruthfulness. He scath- ingly rebukes those guilty of exploiting them in grossly exaggerated form in the fancied interest of an individual or clique of individuals or for the sake of supplying sensational material to newspapers.

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
Directed by the st at Agricultural College

When the seasons work with a
certain machine has been finished,
it should be thoroughly cleaned
and all parts that are liable to rust
should be carefully wiped with
oiled waste or an oiled rag. 1t is a
good idea to coat these parts with
either tallow or a good grade of
axle grease.
After carefully putting away the
CREASED parts, the implement
should be stored in a shed of some
kind, rather than be left in the
open.
The farmer who takes proper
care of his implements not only
houses them and keeps them in
good adjustment, but he paints
them occasionally. Paint closes
all cracks ond keeps out the mois-
ture. 1t not only preserves the
wood, but the iron parts are bene-
fitted as well.
Before applying new paint, re-
move all old paint that is likely to
scale off and see that all parts are
thoroughly clean and dry.
A good grade of carriage paint
will give best satisfaction on farm
implements. Two gallons of this
paint need not cost over S4.0O and
will cover all implements needing
paint on the average 160-acre farm
each season. The paint may be
applied during slack times of the
year at very little cost for labor.

Subscription Laws.

Many readers have, from time
to time, requested information
concerning newspaper subscrip-
ton laws. Seven have been CON-
piled from decisions of the United
States court and embody points
that bother many newspaper pub
fishers The seven are:
Subscribers who do not give
express notices to the contrary
are considering as wishing to re-
new their subscription.
2 If the subscribers order the
discontinuance of their periodicals
the publishers may continue to
send them all until all arrearages
are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or re-
fuse to take their periodicals from
the postoffice to which they are di-
rected, they are responsible until
they have settled their bills and
ordered them discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and the papers arc sent to
their former address, they are held
responsible.
). The courts have decided
that refusing to take periodicals
from the postoffice or removing and
leaving them uncalled for is a
prima facia evidence of intention
al fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at
The La Jara chronicle., 1908-02-07

the end of the time if they do not
wish to continue taking it, other
wise the publisher is authorized to
send it and the subscriber is re-
sponsible until an express notice,
with payment of arrearages is sent
to the publisher.
7. The latest postal laws are
such that newspaper publishers
can arrest anyone for fraud that
takes newspaper and refuses to
pay for it. Under the law man
who allows his subscription to run
along for some time unpaid and
then orders the postmaster to mark
it refused" and have post card
sent neutrality-suspicious. leaves
himself liable to arrest and fine the
same as a common thief.
