by executive order more than year
ago recommended that hospital ships
should be commanded by medical Off
GERS and that recommendation was ap-
proved by both the secretary of war
and the secretary of the navy in gen
eral orders. Since the civil war; he
says, all hospital ships and medical
transports of the army had been
placed under the surgeon general Of
the army. He says further that Jap
anese naval hospital ships were COM
manded by medical officers after hav-
ing tried line officers.
These ships, he says, are simply
floating hospitals, properly under the
control Of the medical department,
and should be conducted in peace ex-
actly as in time Of war. This is espe-
cially so, he adds, because during war
time line officers cannot be spared and
do not, and should not, desire the
command of these ships.
He maintains that, it always has
been doubtful question if the Gene
va and The Hague agreements could
guarantee the neutrality of these ships
if combatant Oine) officers and crews
were aboard, and it was this doubt
which prevented the Japanese during
the recent war with Russia from using
line officers on hospital ships.
The internal administration of the
bureau of medicine and surgery" he
says, has been in my opinion too
much interfered with by the bureau
of navigation. This interference has
at times caused grave concern as to
how l could meet the needs of those
under our care"
The hospital ship Relief, he says,
should now be with the battleship feet
on its cruise, but he adds, the bureau
Of navigation thought otherwise and
the fleet Of $4,000 men, with its aux
iliaries, is without hospital ship and
will be until it arrives at Magdalena
bay. more than three months from
now" He adds that he cannot under
stand how Admiral Brownson should
be especially interested in the officer
ing of hospital ships,as his duties lie
in another direction, and that he
should not interfere in a matter per-
tanning entirely to the bureau of
medicine and surgery, and therefore
to be decided by the secretary of the
navy.

When You Put Latchkey in Your Door.
When you put the latChkey in the
door of your home, drop your business
or profession; drop ell the things
which have veXed and worried and
nagged you during the day; drop
everything disagreeable. Just say to
yourself, Il will not allow these
shadows in my home. This is shrine
too sacred for discord." Resolve that
peace, harmony, contentment Shall
reign there. If you insist on worrying
during the daytime, do not drag your
worries home at night. Do not bring
the black fiends which have destroyed
your peace in the office into your
home. Leave your cares and your
troubles behind when you enter its
doors. The habit which many married
people have of talking their troubles
over at night and especially at the
dinner table, is a most vicious one,
declares Orison SWEET Marden in Sue
cess Magazine. The dinner bell should
he signal for the happiest time of
the day. Every member of the family
should go to the table with smiles
each one should bring his best bright
est and most cheerful things to it. No
one should be allowed to complain or
relate his unfortunate experiences
there. The assembling round the din
ner table should be an occasion for
fun and laughter-the enemies Of in
digestion.

There is some compensation in not
being a king if man can be captain
OF industry or retired diamond mine
owner There is too much ceremony
about the job Of king to suit the av-
erage mortal. Does royalty never get
a chance to relax? The king not only
must be every inch a king, but he
must be king every minute. Some
body whom he has never met, but who
must have had a grim sense Of humor,
has prescribed etiquette for him which
he must follow every waking minute
We fancy there is some formula which
he must snore by also. Even when he
travels incOgnito he has to send ahead
a description of his clothes and the
way he spells his name to the chiefs
of police Of the cities in which he ex-
poets to stop No wonder the king of
Spain took off his coat and threw it
away when out hunting. The only
wonder is that he did not throw a
brick at the person who reproved him
for it.

Defense Of Honest Wealth.
E. c. oTWELL, Ed. and Pub.
OHIO.

I care not a straw for the rich as
such. My interest and sympathy are
solely with general society and the
common man. And, speaking as rep
resentative of the people at large, l
urge that the pride, idleness and
doubtful practices of a few rich are
no just cause for putting all rich men
in pillory. The possession of wealth,
however great, furnishes by itself no
presumption against the owners probi-
ty, writes President E. Benjamin An
drews of the University of Nebraska,
in Leslies Weekly. If a man can
fraudlessly become possessor of ten
thousand he can, If he works on with
the same zeal, skill and power, not
only as easily, but more easily, secure
a hundred thousand, two hundred thou
sand, five hundred thousand, a million,
a hundred million dollars. Just here
financial geniuses find opportunity.
Now and again arises up amid the
common throng of business men one
with the ability to utilize to the end
that semi-automatic power to set and
keep this hundred million earning with
the same precision governing his first
investment He combines industry
with industry and effects saving. He
takes advantage of rivals errors and
hesitancy. If he becomes a Millionaire
you have no right to denounce any
part of his fortune, save upon proof
of fraud. The mere fact of his being
SO rich is naught but proof of his
genius and his industry.
