President Roosevelt has replaced the
Bridge from which it was chiseled by
order of Caleb R. Smith, Secretary of
Interior in Lincoln's cabinet. The
name of Davis though chisiled out has
long outlived that of Mr.. Smith, so
that the effort to destroy recollections
of Mr.. Davis have proven futile. 1t is
said that this may do more to cause the
South to esteem Mr.. Roosevelt than
any act of his life. This is a mistake
The act for which the South most es-
the negro troops on account of the
Brownsville affair.

Since the investigation Of the affairs
of the West Virginia peniten tiary, the
government has determined to remove
all of it's prisoners from there to Attain
ia. Republican rule must be some
thing fierce when it becomes too bad
even for convicts.

1t looks to us as Ii Judge Mann and
the reorganization" in Virginia had
both been put in hole by Mr.. Tuck
er's statement that he would veto a
state wide prohibition bill if passed by
the Legislature, but would sign any
bill tho Legislature would pass submit
ting the question to the people.
This either forces Judge Mann on to
state wide platform, and drives from
him those who do not believe in radi-
cal prohibition legislation, or places
him on platform pledged to policy
of submitting the question to the peo-
pie, and thus convincing the public
that he is backing water, and seeing
himself fall between the devil and the
deep blue sea.

OFFICER SHOT FROM
TUBE OF SUBMARINE
Reaches Surface Of Water Safely
After PeTlIOuS Experiment.

Washington. Aug. THE navy de
partment has received the report OF a
remarkable performance by Midship-
man Kenneth Whiting. IN command OF
the submarine Porpoiss, now in Ma.
Mia. For the purpose Of demonstrate
ing the possibility OF escape from a
submerged submarine through a tor.
pedo tube. Midshipmau Whiting. who
Is an expert swimmer had his vessel
lowered 10 the bottom OF the bay near
Cavite
Far under the water. probably sixty
or seventy feet Whiting crawled into
torpedo tube. The end OF the tube In
the boat was closed behind him. A
tube Ia a submarine Is closed on the
outside by a port. which is moved by
the powerful machinery within the
boat. when under water there f. great
pressure against the port cover and Il
takes lot OF power 10 make il swing
out and upward. When IL does swing
there is a great thrush OF water. filling
the tube as the torpedo flies out

on the port. The officers inside the
vessel turned on the machinery and
the port swung out Whiting went with

and then let go. iying upward 20 the
surface OF the water.
Whether or not this demonstration

which Is now being argued In the
event that men tried 10 escape In this
manner IN case 81 real accidents one
man would certainly be lost. as the
plan could not be carried out unless
