Navy Criticisms Unjust.

THE criticisms Of our navy. I believe.
in most instances. have been unjust. But
in one instance. when We were compelled
to carry coal Tor the cruise Of our feet to
the Pacific, IN foreign bottoms. was not

Mr.. Weeks said that this action on the
part Of the authorities was indeed 10 be
deplored. lie said that when the Panama
Canal is built It may not be necessary
for this nation 10 maintain two navias.
but il Will be necessary for il 10 establish
a naval base I'm the Pacific. II will not be
requisite he said. for the nation 20 nut

as are 70 be found on the Atlantic side of

we may do our duty to the whole world.
Ships are necessary, guns are necessary.
but men are even more necessary. The
glory OF the navy Is its heroes, known
and unknown, officers and men.
Herbert's Tribute to Porter.
Hilary Herbert, former Secretary Of
the Navy, spoke after Mr.. Justice Harlan.
There is nothing" said Mr.. Herbert.
so inspiring TO the American boy as to
read of the heroes of the American navy:
the navy, beginning with John Paul
Jones and ending with George Dewey.
The remains of John Paul Jones We're
brought TO the Naval Academy after they
were discovered. largely through the eff
forts of Gen. Porter, for the purpose OF
stimulating the young officers who are
being trained there TO command cur
ships
Mr. Herbert said that the navy played
a most important part in the war for the
preservation of the Union. He said that
the navy played a greater part than the
army and that If 1t had not been for the
men or the sea, the war might have gone
on ana the COnfederacy might have been
victorious.
Blockade OF Ports.
He said that the first great measure
which the navy took against the South,
and which initiated more than almost
any other, was the blockade Of ali the
ports in the Confederacy by the navy of
the Union. Then he pointed out that the
capture Of many points along the AIissis-
sppi and other points IN the Confederacy
was 10 be laid to the credit Of the navy.
Coming down to the present day, Mr.
Herbert said that since the war with
Spain and our acquisition of the Philip
pines We have been forced TO increase and
to maintain a larger navy.
I believe" he said, that three-fourths
Of the American people think that we
have made "a mistake in taking the Phil
ippines, but / do not think that any of
us are willing 20 let any nation on the
earth take them away from US. If We
wish TO keep the Philippines. there is
but one thing 10 do, and that is to in
crease our navy"
Representative weeks ApOioSy.
Representative John W. Weeks. who
spoke after Mr. Herbert apologized.
When / came TO Congress" he said. Il
wanted to get on the Committee on Naval
Affairs, but the Speaker thought 1 would
do better on the committee pertaining
10 Banking and Currency Later he
thought that I was not doing enough
work so he put me on the Committee on
Agriculture
Mr.. Weeks took occasion 10 state his
views Of the position recently taken by
the President on the placing Of surgeons
in command OF ships.
L believe" he said, that We are
maintaining a Naval Academy for the
purpose Of training men to take command
of ships. So far as ! know, they are able
to do that
Il do not believe that man who is
surgeon or a man who is a paymaster
should have charge Of a ship or Of a
fleet. Such men should not be called
either captain or admiral captain who
Is surgeon should bee called a surgeon

Judge Lewis Decision.

The sudden change in conditions has
been brought about by the recent de-
cision of Federal Judge Lewis, in Colo
RADIO. This decision was a hard blox to
the governments policy Of prosecuting
persons. some of them high in station.
charged with fraud in obtaining title TO
public lands In the West.
After considering the matter for sew
eral days, President Roosevelt and the
legal officers OF the government have
made up their minds that it is absolutely
futile to proceed further with the investi-
cation Of land frauds. and with tie mi
tiation Of criminal cases in the courts I'M
III the validity OF Judge Lewis decision is
passed upon by the highest legal tribunal
The serious effect OF the judgment
handed down by Judge Lewis was not
graspeG all at once by the administra-
ton.
II was not until a day or two ago that
Attorney General Bonaparte was willing
10 admit even privately that the wheels
Of criminal litigation as carried on By the
government had been stopped completely
by the decision Of Judge Lewis in Denver
The admission was frankly made yuster-
day, and it was added that nearly the
whole force Of special agents OF the de-
partment employed I'm investigating land
frauds in half a dozen States would be
dismissed

for the present at least, and the small
army Of special agents and other en-
ployes of the Department of Justice re-
Gently engaged In public land investlga-
tons in the Western States will be dis
banded.
1t was said at the department yesterday
that the dismissals would probably not
go so far as 20 affect the special at
t0rneys employed by the government. The
services Of these special attorneys may
be required in prosecuting the admins
tration's pending cases in the higher
courts.

Hot Air

is very pleasant at times. Yes, for the past seven or eight days HOT AIR has been all right, and if the thermometer continues to stay down around zero, HOT AIR will be very welcome. By the way, we were won- dering if the trolley company be- leves in HOT AIR; if so, they are certainly neglecting their cars. And we also were wondering if the board of health approve of HOT AIR or cold storage for the trolley cars surely they ought to have a say re- garding the public health. Of course if cold storage is the most beneficial, this ad man should keep still, if not there should be big holler made, We'll, speaking of HOT AIR reminds us of certain city board. There certainly is chairman of that cer- tain board who will receive HOT AIR in galore until his term ex- pires, and while he has his own share of HOT AIR, he's to be pitied nevertheless. We'll, to use slang, we will say there is no HOT AIR about our statment when we tell you our Tea, Coffee, Cocoa and But termilk is the very best quality in the city, always fresh, and the guar anteed good quality and reasonable in price at

BALDWIN STREET
Water Pouring Through the Old
 Stone Wall To-Day

People up Baldwin street way say
 that this would be a good day for
 Mayor Thoms and his board of pub
 lie works to have an outing and look
 at the condition of that street. From
 a point just south of the old engine house, east side, almost to Stone
 street, water is rushing down through the old stone wall with such force that one cannot walk on | that side of the street without get ting soaked, and as a result all the i travel is forced onto the opposite side of the street. It has now been practically agreed between Mayor Thoms and the commissioners of the department of public works to re- quest City Engineer CairIs to sub
 init a plan of treatment for Baldwin street from Scovills bridge to Stone street. After this has been made public probably everybody will have better idea of the seriousness of the situation than ever before. In the meantime residents of that dis trict should have heart to heart talk with their representative in the city government and endeavor to impress them with the necessity of having something done in that street before the condition becomes worse than it is. The city engineer real izes that the place is in Dad shape, but so long as he sees no disposition on the part of the people tC take it up, he does not think he should take the initiative.
 The only objection offered against .he city doing anything there is that inasmuch as 1t has remained in its present condition for so many years it should be kept there until it be- comes necessary for the property owners to attend to it at their own expense, but nobody should be mis- led by this sort of talk. The city created the condition that exists there and so long as this is so the people have a right to look to the city to take care of it. It is not so long ago when houses that are now below the grade of the street were foot or two above it, but by de- srces the road bed was raised until at the present time some Of the houses are practically buried. The trolley put on the last straw, but this was by no means the only one. The condition of that street is some-' thing that concerns the public as we'll as those who live between the points mentioned, and it should not he left to them to get out of the hole. F
