CRITICISM OF OUR NAVAL SHIPS.

Discussion of the efficiency Of the
American Navy brought out by the
article published in McClure's mag
azine by Reuterdahl, is OF a charac-
ter to make the people acquainted
with the fighting ships on which
they must depend, If nothing more.
One OF the Congressman quoted to
considerable length on the subject Is
Mr.. Lilley Of Connecticut, with whom
the people Of our Territory have a
personal acquaintance. Mr.. Lilley
is disposed to take the critical side
OF 1t. Referring to the differences
that brought about the resignation
OF Admiral Brownson, Lilley says:
Our Navy isn't businesslike; that's
the trouble" Then turning to the
Reuterdahl article the Congressman
says, What that writer says is true
beyond doubt. Why. we haven't a
ship in our Navy that isn't obsolete.
The writer of that article is right.
The only thing is that he didn't go
far enough. The trouble with the
Navy is that 1t has too many generai
managers"
OF somewhat different opinion is
the Scientific American, which is
generally looked to for expert infor-
nation. The American calls the
magazine-writer a mucK-raker Of the
deepest dye, who aims at something
palatable but not fundamentally
true.
Says the Scientific American Of the
principal feature of our ships alleg-
cd weakness: 'Semi-submerged ar
NOR belts and insufficient freeboard
will be found to be just as common
among foreign navies as they are in
our own, provided those ships be
compared, which is the only honest
way, that were designed at the same
date. And 1t will be found that our
own ships have the unquestionable
advantage Of being, ship for ship and
date for date, very much more heav-
lily armed"
II is admitted, however, that Reu-
terdahl is not entirely wrong, for the
American continues: AT the same
time, 1t cannot be denied that some
Of the criticisms in the magazine ar
ticle referred to, are fatally true,
The blunder of building open ammu,
milton hoists to the large guns of our
earlier ships was regrettable; and
the stubborn persistence in that

ere proceeding cautiously In the mat
ter of installing turbines in our war
ships. The progress Of foreign nav
les has been, without exception, in
the direction of building large ships,
mounting not more than one or two
oalibers of big guns. Great Britain
is building six improved Dread
noughts;" France, six 1S,400-ton
battleships armed with four 12's and
twelve 9.4's; Germany, four 10000

guns; and Japan, two 1S,S00-ton
ships carrying four 12's and twelve

And after the American has said
its last word of criticism for the
muck-raker, 1t has made a series Of
admissions regarding our shortcom-
ings which cause the layman to con.
clude that the one thing we are sure
of in our Navy, as compared with
others, is that we have an aggrega-
ton of brave and quick-witted fight
ing officers and men excelled by no
nation on earth.

GOVERNOR FREAR'S WORK.

Should 1t turn out that Governor
Frear's trip to Washington has been
productive OF no other result than
strengthening the cause of Hawaii in
its application for the Federal appro-
priation for the College of Agricul-
ture and Mechanic Arts and securing
favorable consideration of an amend
ment Of the immigration law for the
benefit Of this Territory, his sojourn
in the capital was well worth while.
1t is hard to say which is more i'm
Iortant to acknowledgement immi-
grafton, transportation, harbor i'm
provement and fertilization, or edu-
cation.
There is no doubt that the set
tier" population of these Islands, IL
It is to be built up on the mainland
lines, must come from the European
centers. And, in order to get the
PEOPLE here, Hawaii must be allowed
more leeway in the solicitation of
settlers than is given under the pres
ent immigration law.
To get the people here and at the
same time provide for intelligent de-
Selopment in the lines OF industry
they or their children or any others
may take up in the establishment OF
permanent homes, is worthy the best
effort of the best men of the country.
Governor Frear is to be congratu-
lated on the enthusiasm with which
he has entered into cooperation with
Hawaii's working force in Washing
ton, and should the present session
OF Congress close with provision
made for the European immigrant
The college, the steamships and tho
harbor improvements, 1t will have
done no more for this Territory than
is required to serve the best interests
Of the Nations development in the
Pacific.
Governor Frear appears, in the
working-out, to be not a "strenu-
Gus" Governor but capable Of doing
lots of work guided by level head
and earnest purpose.
Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1908-01-15

blunder, in the face of continual dis
aster, was absolutely inexcusable. We
believe that altogether some seventy
five men have been lost in the vari-
ouc turret disasters; and the major
ity of these fatalities are directly
chargeable to open ammunition
hoists. Furthermore, there can be
little doubt that our present bureau
system is cumbersome, inefficient,
provocative of great deal or I'M
Seemly pickering among the bureau
chiefs, and that many Of the faults
in warship design are directly trace
able to this system"
Progress in the building of our
Navy has been very encouraging. The
addition Of large number of battle
ships and armored cruisers to our ef-
fective list has brought our Navy up
to the second position among the ma
vies of the world, There is, indeed,
no navy in which so large a proper
ton of the total displacement con-
sists of fighting ships of the first
class. 1t was wise provision which
led our Navy Department to cease
building unarmored vessels, and ex-
rend its appropriations upon ships
that can fight in the line. In this
respect we have anticipated by sew
eral years the main feature of the
policy which is now being universal
ly adopted. That policy includes the
building of big. one-gun battleships;
fast unarmored scouts OF 5000 or
1000 tons displacement; destroyers
Of sufficient size and power to keep
the sea in all weather; and submar-
ines. We are sadly behind the other
nations in the number and quality Of
our destroyers, and Congress SHOULD
see to 1t that liberal appropriations
are made for these vessels. During
the year contracts have been let fol
two 20,000-ton battleships, which

Don't Whine

1t is only the sham martyrs who
boast of their martyrdom and tell
about it. The real martyrs are so
busy doing their work we'll that thew
have no time to whine, says the New
Idea Woman's Magazine for June.
And in doing their work they find
relief from their Affections. If anv
woman has to earn her living she
will find life much easier and bright
er if she bravely and quietly takes
up whatever work she finds to do
and keeps the whine out of her
voice.
1t is bad taste to peddle your own
tribulations about among your
friends, and worse than useless To
get along in this busy, busting, but
happy world, the woman who works
must have energy and courage and
good sense at her command, and be
able to apply.them daily and hourly.

Esther drove around the house to
find him standing, bareheaded, on the
grayeled road. He was haggard and
thin, his shoulders stopped, his eyes
gloomy. His clothes we're handsome
and well made; but they had a Dor
rowed, misitting look. that was pitt
full to Esther. He did not speak, but
stood waiting, slightly bent, only his
somber eyes pleading.
"Will you drive with me, Gideon?"
she asked quietly.
without a word ne put on his hat
and stepped in beside her, tucking the
robe carefully about her. Every move
ment had a gentle depreciation foreign
to the Gideon she had known.
The team was FESTIVE, the streets
crowded; and she could do no more
than drive until a mile or more of hills
had taken the first mettle out of her
horses.
When they were on the road. fol-
lowing the shimmering bay shore
around Fort Point to the sea, the
plangent waves at their feet, the salt
air blowing clean upon them, the vast
fairness OF blue ocean sweeping away
petty thoughts, bringing eternal veri-
ties-there Gideon and Esther found
a common meeting ground.
Gideon freed her from her promise
and would have explained, but she OBJ
jected. TITS past, Gideon. Alfred Is

yet was leaden again. Freedom had
come too late. Alfred no longer loved

They fingered a little, both silent,
Gideon nearer content than for years.
Where have you been this long,
long time, Gideon?' Esther asked on
their way back to the city.
Many places. Twice l went to
Poughkeepsie. I saw you, though you
didn't know it; saw that you were well
and happy"
"Gideon!" Esther exclaimed, aston
ished.

routes; and have found both. The last
few months I've spent between San
Francisco and the ranch. I've seen

went unfinished.

But, Gideon, you won't like that

Utter hopelessness was in voice and
face. Yet Esther could think of no ade-
quate word, and drove on in silence
till they stopped at the doorway.

mo, Stella. L snail not annoy you

She looked into his sad face and
saw two generations of tragedy there.
Resentment, aversion died. "Oh, Gid

one, my almost brother. Whatever you
have done, will do, is mine to bear by
