AS to the advisory council of the

yesterday, Mr.. Hightower said that
plans were discussed for strengthen
ing the weak spots and adding to the
strength of the strong ones in the
union by increasing the field lectur-

tensive educational campaign. When
asked If the organization really had
weak spots, however, he declined to
commit himself further.
1t is understood that the lecturing
campaign to be inaugurated is to e

unions and county organizations are
to share the expense, relieving the
state organization of much of the bur-

fact that they are squandering a lot
of money on their navies, money too,
that could be put to much better use?
The battleship Mississippi, for in
stance, cost $S,000,O0O, while a Dread
naught costs about $12,000000.
The Dreadnaught is more or less of
an experiment 1t has never been test
ed in actual warfare. In the battle of
the Yalu River none of the warships
had displacement of 10000 tons. In
the naval battles of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war no ship had a greater dis
placement than 10000 tons. In the bat
tie of the Sea of Japan the big ships
participating were about in the same
class with the Indiana, Iowa and Ore
gon, and the cruisers Brooklyn and
New York.
We do not undertake to speak with
authority; but we think it is possible
to make the battleship too large. The
Great Eastern was so big as to be alb
solutely unwieldy but since that mag
nificent failure a different type of the
big ship has been built that has proven
to be a success. A few years ago one
of the largest ships in the British navy
turned turtle. In the Russo-Japanese
war, Japan lost some of her largest
ships by what may be termed acct
dents.
1t is possible that it might be easier
to destroy a Dreadnaught than a fleet
of armored cruisers of half the dis
placement; and the extent of the disas-
ter is measured by the size of the ship
destroyed. Furthermore, if the big ship
is success, the smaller ships soon
become obsolete. Already we have
relegated ships of the type of the Tex

greater displacement than the battle

Dwey's flagship at Manila has been
practically forgotten.
The navies of the world are highly
perishable and constantly changing
material. Those who build navies now
are to a certain extent throwing money
at the birds.
But the lesson of vast ecan be
brought nearer home. The magnificent
new battleship Mississippi will serve
to point the moral and adorn the tale
This ship cost $S,000,000, a sum that at
; per cent interest would bring in
100000 per annum. We do not doubt
that the entire expense of running this
battleship for a year is at least 81 ,000,-
600. This added. to the interest on the
investment, amounts to 81 100000 a
year.
The report of the commissioner of
Education shows that the state Of
Mississippi pays the superintendent
and teachers in her public schools
about $1,500,O00 per annum. In short
the battleship costs annually almost as
much as it does to pay the 1900 edu-
Gators in the public schools of the
state. Of course the same comparison
can be made with regard to all of our
big battleships.
In view of these facts, it is not al
most time for the civilized nations to
ask themselves whether they are not
paying too much for their warships?

Washington, May 27.-Promptly re-
suming discussion of the sugar scheds
ule of the tariff bill Mr.. Mcf5nery Of
Louisiana, In the senate, dealt with
the attitude of the Southern states
and Southern statesmen toward the
policy of protection. He said:
THAT there Is a change of sentf
ment going on in the Southern states
In relation to protection was shown
recently and l hope senators from
the South who have supported protec
tion of every industry in the state
may extend the vision of their horizon
and accord protection to great ma
tional interests"
Mr.. McEnery spoke specially of the
need of protective tariff on lumber
which industry, he said, employed
$4,000 men, producing lumber worth
$4,000, 600 annually.
After pointing out that Southern
senators had voted for a duty on lum
Der, which produces a revenue o
only $2,000,000 annually, Mr.. McEner!
called attention to the vastly greater
income produced by sugar, which
yields revenue of s60,000,000. F"
