SAILORS TO BE ON
METTLE AT BALL
Will Demonstrate They Are
Fit for Finest Society
in the Land
By Arthur Price
DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
SANTA CRUZ, May 5.-"At the ball
to be given the enlisted men by the
ladies of San Francisco it will be
demonstrated that the sailor of the
American navy is a gentleman and can
behave as such. No man need be solicit
touS about his wife or sister or mother
being at that ball, for the women will
find courtesy and decorum among the
enlisted men,"
An officer on the Connecticut made
that declaration in discussing the plans
for the entertainment Of the men of the
feet. He declared that the officers are
looking forward with the greatest of
interest to the ball. 'It will be the
best thing that can happen to the
navy" he added.
I'VE are particularly glad that this
ball is to take place" he said. 1T
used to be that the word sailor was
synonymous with 'drunkard,' but we
have a different sort of sailor with US
It is true that we have some men who
are rough and that sort of thing. but
the majority are clean, manly fellows.
MEN TO BE ON METTLE
lat that ball the men will be on
their mettle They will conduct them
selves as gentlemen conduct themselves
in ballroom. and no man need have
the least apprehension that any or his
women folks who might be at the dance
viii regret her attendance"
The dance is the favorite art or avo-
cation of the sailor. AT sea his chief
delight Is in his gunnery, and secondly
his heart is set on Craftsmanship. but
when woOing pleasure on land he seeks
a dance pavilion.
Drop a sailor from a parachute and
he Will probably land on a ballroom's
roof. 1t is the law af gravity of Jack
ashore. 1t has been demonstrated again
and again here in Santa Cruz.
MANY HIRE HORSES
Horseback riding and driving We're
also favorite recreations of the men
while here. Scores of them rode or
drove into the Santa Cruz mountains
and many climbed the grades on foot.
Santa Cruz provided trains to trans
port the men to the big trees and hun
dreds took advantage of that oppor-
tunity TO be in the hills and the woods,
but the chances for free transportation
could not lure the men who wanted to
be their own conductors from the steeds
of the livA-y stable.
But the young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of dancing, wherever
he may be. Up in the heart of the
semperrirens asked a bluejacket how
he was enjoying himself.
This is all right" he replied
heartily, but the sailor wants dance
more than anything else.'

THE WAVE OF ANARCHISM.

Tho wave or anarChism which seems
to be moving over the country merits
summary treatment, and that is the
sort of treatment, apparently, which it
is to get in some quarters. The activi
ties of the police and the rigorous or.
ders issued by the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor are wholesome.
No thoughtful person will argue that
anarchism is an easy thing to suppress
Its adherents oppose all restraint, and
therefore they are averse TO all law.
Their hatred of restraint grows in in
teusity with the sternness of the re
straint. Use them harshly and they be
come more dangerous because they feel
more violently. Measures of suppress
sion may have the effect of tanning
rather than extinguishiug the flames
But any other than the strictest meas
ures might be regarded by the anarchis-
tic crew M signs OF weakness. Nothing
would encourage them so much ~ any
possibility Of this kind In weakness of
government they would thrive. Before
they are allowed to do much more of
their deadly work they should feel the
strong arm Of government and learn
that the law which they despise is not
the sort Of institution which tolerates
their diabolical beliefs and deeds. The
right of free speech is a glorious one,
and it should be preserved. but the
right Of free speech does not embrace
the right of instigatipg murder and
treason. Murder and treason are the
inevitable weapons of anarchism. To
preach its creed is to champion item.
Therefore, anarchistic agitators and
agitation should not be tolerated by
the police power Of the country. Self
preservation calls for swift and sure
warfare by National and State Go.
vernments against such menacing evils
1t would be instructive to study the
cause of the demonstrations of the
niquitous cult in the United States
just at this time The creed itself il
old; its existence in the United States
il OF long duration, out there seems
suddenly to have developed an unusual
growth of the cult and a remarkable
activity OF its followers. Probably it
is due to the wave Of class agitation
that has been stirring the country in the
past year or so. This agitation has
been OF most spectacular kind. The
public mind has been filed with the
ideas Of general rottenness and injus-
tlce. Hatred of man for man has been
fed by speeches and writings. Attacks
on Judges sCOrn of law, prejudices
against laws that restrict the will of
men who wish their within to control.
the tendency in some quarters to assert
the right OF any individual to regulate
his fellows, the general clamor. turmoil,
elimination and recrimination that have
been keeping the people Keyed up
these may have provoked the state of
mind which has been fertile for snarchis
tic theories.
The task at hand is TO suppress the
anarchists and overlook no legal and
Just means to eIterminate their creed.
