8ROWNSON GRILLED
ROOSEVELT SAYS ADMIRAL
ACTED CHILDISH.
Has No Right to Defy Naval Laws
Sole Concern Should Be Good of the
Service-Must Have Obedience
President Upholds Command of Hos
pital Ships by Medical Officers.

President Roosevelt's attitude on the
question of the command of hospital
ships in the navy, which resulted in
the resignation of Rear Admiral Will
lard II. Brownson, and incidentally
some caustic observations on that in
cident, and the controversies among
the naval officers and their adherents
as to details of naval construction and
methods of training were made known
when Secretary Metcalf gave to the
Aress the two letters from the presi-
dent addressed to him on the subject.
In the first of these letters President
Roosevelt condemns in unmeasured
terms the act of Admiral Brownson,
declaring it to be unseemly and i'm
proper. The question upon which Ad-
miral Brownson took issue with the
navy department, the president de-
clares, is one on which there can be
entirely legitimate difference of opin-
ion but, he adds, There is no room
for difference of opinion as to the
gross improperly of the admirals con-
duct in resigning sooner than carry
out the orders of his superior officers
in such q matter. The officers of the
navy must remember it is not merely
childish but in the highest degree rep
rehensible to permit enough personal
pique. wounded vanity, or factional
feeling on behalf of some particular
bureau or organization to render them
disloyal to the interests of the navy
and therefore of the country as a
whole"
H. Regarding the controversies in the
Navy the president admits there al
ways were and always will be defects
both in the construction of the ships
and organization of the department
and in the actual drill of the fleet Il
is WELL he says, that these defects be
pointed out, but it is also well that
they should be pointed out without ex
aggerations or malicious untruthfnl
ness. He scathingly rebukes those
guilty of exploiting them in grossly ex
aggerated form in the fancied interest
of an Individual or clique of indiyidu
ais, or for the sake of supplying sen
sational material to newspapers. Be
cause of such misrepresentation an(
exaggeration the president has asked
Secretary Metcalf for a statement o.
the exact facts connected with 1t, de

NOBILITY WON'T FIGHT.
Prince Says Count 5oni Didn't Insult
Him.

The Paris newspapers publish long
accounts of the encounter between
Count Boni Castellane and Prince
Helle de Sagan, in the Rue de Chaillot.
The men are cousins. Count Boui
was recently divorced by his wife, who
was Miss Anna Gould, and prince de
Sagan is credited with having been at
tentive to Nine. Gould.
Prince de Segan declared that after
comforting with his fencing master and
other friends, he saw no reason to
change his decision not to send a chal-
lenge.
IF Boni had struck me in the face
with his glove l would fight him." said
the prince.
'By attacking with his brother, two
against one. and striking me when |
was down, he has placed himself out
side the laws regulating affairs OF
honor"

WORK FOR TOWN COUNCIL.

XX7HITEFISH has opportunities for growth and de-
Wv velopment which possessed by few commun-
es but to make the most of these the town must be
made attractive to the better class of homeseekers. In
this work municipal government is of first Importance
for in the hands of the town officials is vested the power
to encourage or discourage any kind of citizenship.
A town overrun, for instance with immortality and
vice will attract and become populated mostly by those
who desire to have such conditions about them, while
the other hand the steady and reliable homebuder will
seek the locality where honesty and righteous citizenship
are at least not discouraged.
The Pilot does not mean to intimate that such condi-
lions prevail here The picture is purposey overdrawn
But in and growing town it is easy for those in
charge fall into ways of government not calculated to
bring the best results No such conditions prevail
Practically new administration, however, is in
charge of the affairs of town. and there much for
them to do if the very best possible results to be
Allied
We have every confidence that they appreciate and
understand the power that has been confded to the
and it is simply through feeling of soctude for the
cys present and future welfare that line Of work is
pointed out which should command their attention
The moral character of the town should be placed
upon high eyel and maintained there.

SOCIALISM


The definitions of socialism are
many and varied. Generally speak
ing, it means the cooperative owner
ship of the means Of production and1
distribution by all the people.
A capitalist is defined as meaning
anyone who employs labor and derives
profit therefrom.
The fundamental basis Of socialism
is that labor shall receive the full pro-
duct Of their toll; that everyone who
is Of sound body and mind must fol.
low some gainful occupation. All in
dustnes being owned by the people,
il follows that no profit goes to capital.
Everything is divided among. the peo-
pie who work.
There shall be no money. The only
medium of exchange will be labor
checks. Therefore it follows that the
man who insists on resting hands and
brains must also rest his stomach.
Under all sorts Of industrial condi.
lions that the world has passed
,hrough-feudalism, slavery, the wage
system-one class has gained their
daily bread from the toll Of others.
Socialism would change all this and
inaugurate an entirely new plan.
Many people think that the terms
anarchy and socialism mean the same
thing. The facts are that they are
directly opposite to each other. An
archy would have no governmental
authority; socialism would put every
thing into the hands Of the govern
ment---the people. Under socialism
individuals could own their own pri-
; vate property, such as homes, clothing,
musical instruments, ETC., but all the
means of producing and distributing
wealth would be owned by the people
in common.
1t means a stupendous change, and
one more difficult to accomplish than
: many socialists believe
; Will it ever come about? Yes. Ii
is partly accomplished now. 1t is
working itself out around US every day
