After all, little Americans" are IN the
minority. Senator Gore attempted to
effect a compromise by proposing TO
have the navy built in foreign ship
yard. Things have reached pretty
pass in the United States when
trust can scare congress into rejecting
a naval program which is approved by
MANY good citizens and would indeed
seem to be necessary if the wishes of
California are to be considered and
this coast is to have permanent naval
protection. If there had been no steel
trust no objection would have been
offered to the naval program. We
commend this respectfully to the at
tention OF Republicans who hum and
haw and say nothing radical should
be done" by way of interfering with
the pernicious activity of trusts; that
methods of reform proposed are a
menace to the stability of the country,
etc. The steel trust and every other
trust which interferes with the secur-

American army officers henceforth
must be at least five feet five inches
high. The added inch will improve
the general appearance of the officers
on review and parade days. But it
should not be forgotten that some ex-
ceptionally big officers have been ex-
ceptionally little men,. One of the tall
est the American army ever had was
George Washington, who was a ply
scal giant. One of the shortest was
Phil Sheridan. A really good officer
can never be too short or too tall, no
matter what his height or lack of 1t
may be. And that is the long and the
short of it.

club formed by hotel clerks who had
come to feel that they must have a
place wherein to growl. Throughout

The moons white hull near the shore Of the
sky,
And one large, clear shining nigh;
All earth's outlines softer growing,
The nights deep tide to the west Is flowing
Now the shore is drowned, but still anoat

And the one great star has grown more
bright,
A flaming beacon, piercing the night.
