United States Through
NaValWeakness Is About to
Encounter Grave Dangers.

Bv RICHMOND p. HOBsON. laval Experta md Alabama Congressman.
- HE United States has risen from the last on the lis. in naval
strength in 1882 up to second place in 1908, BUT OUR
~ SLOWNESS IN BUILDING THE NEW TYPE OF
VESSEL. WILL CAUSE US SOON TO DROP
AGAIN. This retrogression comes at a most unfor-
tunatc period, when, following the Spanish war, our interests and
duties have spread to distant islands across the Pacific ocean and when
Japan has risen with great power, so that our naval demands have sud
denly more than doubled, the necessities in the Pacific being ever
greater than in the Atlantic.
DURING THE NEXT FEW YEARS AND THROUGHOUT THE
TIME OF THE ANoLo-JAPANEsE ALLIANCE AMERICA WILL PASS
THROUGH A PERIOD OF WEAKNESS AND OF GRAVE DANGER.
OUR POLICY MUST BE ONE OF HUMILITY WHILE WE BUILD
SHIPS AND BUILD THEM FAST.
whether WE SUCCEED IN CROSSING THIS PERIOD OF DAN.
GER WITHOUT HUMILIATION AND DEFEAT OR whether OUR
NEGLECT IS TO PLUNGE US AND THE WORLD INTO GREAT
WARS, CAN CLEARLY SEE As CAUSE FOLLOWS EFFECT THAT
IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AMERICA WILL CONTROL THE OCEAN
IN THE ATLANTIC As AGAINST ANY NATION OF EUROPE AND
IN THE PACIFIC AS AGAINST ANY NATION IN ASIA AND THAT
OUR NAVAL SUPREMACY WILL SECURE PEACE AND TRANQUIL.
LITY TO US At HOME. SECURITY TO OUR CITIZENS AND CON-
MERGE ABROAD.
IT WILL BE THE BASIS FOR THAT INFLUENCE
WHICH AMERICA NEEDS FOR HER LEADERSHIP IN
THE GREAT INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR
THE ADMINISTRATION OF LAW, based on justice, which will
ultimately lead to permanent peace among nations and the final aban-
donment of armies and of navies.

Great Heroes of Peace Are
Not Sufficiently HOnOre0.

BY Exconsresman WILLIAM H. KING Of Utah
AR is not the eternal legacy of the world. Mars is not the
god who rules on earth. The day will come when war,
~ with all of its horrible consequences, will be execrated,
and those ages which have countenanced and participated
in it will be regarded with pity and the deepest conmiseration.
The names of Sennacherib and Tamerlane, Alexander and Hanni-
ball. Caesar and Napoleon will be forgotten, and the names of THE
GREAT EVANGELS OF PEACE, the teachers of truth and
righteousness, THE IMMORTAL POETS AND PAINTERS,
and those who have carried the torch Of truth and liberty, will in
crease in splendor and glory.
This is not a mere dream of the prophets and the sages, but it is
the land toward which we are advancing and the condition which
sooner or later the world will reach.
THE GREAT TEACHERS OF THE WORLD AND THE DIVINE
HAVE BEEN FOR PEACE AND BROTHERHOOD. EVERY STEP
IN THE DIRECTION OF ADVANCEMENT HAS BEEN MARKED
~ A RECESSION OF WARS DEVASTATING WAVE. THE GUIDE
POSTS WHICH INDICATE HUMAN PROGRESS POINT IN THE d.
REcTioN OF PEACE. THE WORLD Is GROWING BETTER, AND
OUT OF THE DARKNESS OF THE PAST MAN Is ADVANCING.
There was a time when only the men of war and bloodshed were
honored. Even now there is TOO MUCH OF A DISPOSITION
TO CROWN WITH LAURELS THOSE WHO HAVE WON
RENOWN UPON THE SANGUINARY BATTLEFIELD. The
great heroes of peace, the martyrs for truth, those who in travail have
grasped the great forces that have made for mans advancement and
have been the great standard bearers Of truth and liberty are NOT
SUFFICIENTLY KNOWN OR HONORED. We do not yet have
the true perspective in Judging the figures and the forces that have
lifted the world from darkness into the golden sunlight. We yet still
and turn our backs upon the strong. The spirit of idolatry is yet
rampant, and the apotheoss of force and war has not been extirpatcd
from the hearts Of the people. Military forces, naval display, the
sound OF drum and fife, the roar Of the cannon, the sound of martial
tread, the reports of victories won, of enemies vanquished, of blood
stained battlefelds, of death and horror and destruction, all these
things and all these horrible, blighting pages still bring pride to the
hearts of many.
AS SENATOR HoAR PASSED AWAY, THERE WERE BUT FEW TO
SPEAK HIS PRAISE AND cLoRiFY HIS SPLENDID LIFE, THOUGH
HE HAD DONE MUCH FOR PEACE AND MORE FOR HUMANITY
THAN HUNDREDS OF MILITARY HEROES TO WHOM STATUES
HAVE BEEN ERECTED.

The World Needs
Men With Ideals.

BY GEORGE MCCLELLAN. Mayor Of New York.
EARNING by itself IS of little use to the world. It is only
when it has become humanized that it is a blessing to
~ humanity, AND IT BECOMES WISDOM WHEN IT
is APPLIED TO THE BENEFIT OF MANKIND.
The study of the humanitcs includes more than the study of Latin
and Geek. 1t includes the study of the literature, and therefore of
the knowledge, Of every people and of every age. The purpose Of the
study of the humanites is moro than mere intellectual enjoyment.
It's function is far broader and higher and nobler.
ITS PURPOSE IS TO TEACH US THE WISDOM OF THE MEN
WHO HAVE LONG SINCE PASSED AWAY AND BY GIVING TO US
ALL THAT THE PAST CONTAINED THAT WAS NOBLE AND BEAU.
TIFUL AND TRUE TO PERMIT US TO CREATE FOR OURSELVES
IDEALS FOR OUR PRESENT AND FUTURE GUIDANCE.
The Philistme may complain that four years is a long time to
work with no result at the end but IN ideal. But "the ideal is none
the worse for being merely an ideal" THERE NEVER WAS \
PERIOD IN MODERN TIMES WHEN THE WORLD NEEDED
MEN WITH IDEALS MORE THAN IT DOES TO-DAY.

Raised a Red Flag in Kansas.

Pittsburg, Kan, May 1.-THE
anarchistic element OF the surround
Ing coal camps took advantage OF 9
labor demonstration by the Aus
trians OF the district held at From.
tenac, commemorative OF the Aus.
trian labor day, and started a May
day celebration. They raised a large
red flag and unfurled under It small
United States flag. Their gathering
was separate from the Austrian cele-
bration, but when the Al hericsns
and Austrians caught sight OF the
red flag trouble was imminent.
Mayor Beitzinger consulted the
deputy county attorney, who tele.
phoned the sheriff at Girard to 20 to
Frontenac and order the red flag
taken down. Before the sheriff ar.
rived James Manahan, justice OF the
peace, ordered the removal Of the
red flag and the order was obeyed.

TOM IOHNSON'S TRIUMPH.
A Mayor Who "Played Politics.
For the City's Good.

From the Philadelphia North American;
Tom Johnson has played politics
with the Cleveland street car prob.
lem beyond all doubt. Let that slur
OF his critics be granted. But let II
be remembered that legitimate bust
ness and legitimate politics are
bound TO be interviewer when the
business is that OF public service.
This fighting man, after seven
years OF defeat, stands to-day victor
with the shattered fragments OF q
monopoly under his feet. He did
not win by kid-glove and rose water
methods. He was compelled TO be.
come politician. To capsure the
city he needed a machine. He made
1t. To establish his principles be
had to wade in the mire OF petty po.
litical scheming. The means matter
cd not. He was working to an end.
The winner OF q victory absolutely
unique In civic history comes out OF
the struggle no saint, but great
man among men, whose handiwork
will be watched henceiorth with the
deepest interest by students Of gov.
ernment wherever municipal govern
ment is the most pressing problem,
which is to say In every civilized land
on earth.

Two Counties Without JaiIs.

Topeka, May 4 -That the county
iails in Kansas have not been In
spected by the Judge Of the district
court and the county attorney as re-
quired by law is shown in the reports
received by Governor Hoch from the
county clerks. The governor sent
NSut letter April 23 asking about
the inspections and the date OF the
last one. He has received seventy
replies. .Forty.six county clerks say
that the jails In their counties have
never been inspected since the jail
was built. Twenty-Five county clerks
say that the isils are being inspected
and the date OF the last one is given.
About hall the dates show that the
inspections are made after the gov.
ernor's letter was sent out.
Stsfford and Grant counties have
no iails and Kingman county has
not had a prisoner for two years.
The county clerks insist that the
jails are just as good as any in the
state. In Ness county the jail was
condemned year ago as unsanisary
and unsafe, but no effort has been
made to repair 1t and 1t is being used.
The governor believes that the jails
Should be improved.

Senator Stone Bides His Time.

Washington, May 4 Senator
Stone, of Missouri, will leave Wash
ington about May Is, and will not
complete his plans for his campaign
against Governor Folk before that
time. Senator Stones present
expectation is that be will not make
his opening campaign speech until
we'll along In June. He will attend
the State Convention for the election
OF delegates to the Denver Conven-
tion.
1t is probable that bis speaking
schedule will be arranged after con
ference with his political friends at
and subse quent to the meeting Of the
State Convention. His original pur.
pose was to remain in Washington
until after the adjournment Of Con-
gress, as it seemed until now that an
adjournment would be reached by
the middle of May.
Senator Stone read with much In.
terest the opening speech Of Gov.
Folk at st. Joseph, but has not made
any comments on it for publication.
Although he Is taking his time about
opening hostilities, there is much
evidence about his Office In the Malt
by building, indicating that "Bill'
Stone will not lose his reputation as
an active proposition In politics.
A preliminary campaign by cor
respondenceis in progress that Is cal.
culated to keep the postal service
working over time.
