The Navy at Work.

/ The Seattle newspapers are earnest in
their appeals that the entire Pacific feet
OF the navy shall be kept in Seattle Har-
Dor during the existence OF the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific Exposition as a valuable
adjunct Of that institution. This is only
natural. under the circumstances. on the
part OF those who are interested IN the
success Of the exposition and who realize
that the spectacle Of an entire fleet. COM
posed largely Of modern vessels Of war,
would be worth beholding. II so happens.
however, that the ships Of that command
must receive their semi-annual overhaul
ing in order to keep them IA condition for
service, and that many OF the ships viii
be at the Bremerton CWash) Navy Yard
or Puget Sound until next September.
when they are due 10 reassemble with
the ships now at Mare Island. Cal. for
the autumn exercises and target practice.
It is advanced in advocacy OF the dis
play OF the ships at Seattle that they
would be an enlightenment and an in
spiration to the visitors. Of which there
need be no question.
The naval authorities. on the other
hand. are justified in refusing to accede
20 this demand. In other years there
has been much Of this display work on
the part Of the navy. and the criticism
directed against the department and the
service itself related TO the tendency 20
engage in the show business" instead OF
attending 10 more serious occupation. The
ships OF the navy must be kept In good
condition for the duties they VIII be called
upon TO perform. and the personnel at
tsched to those vessels must be main
tained in an efficent state. which can
be accomplished only by maneuvers and
target practice. To divert the ships from
this laudable and practical employment
in order that they may remain IN the
.nelghborhood Of an exposition for many
months would be at a sacrifice which Is
not justified by the enjoyment OF a spec
tacle on the part OF exposition visitors.
The navy has already contributed 10 the
opening ceremonies Of the Seattle Expo-
sition. and the resumption OF the impor-
tant work Of the naval vessels and their
commissioned and enlisted personnel Is
entirely TO the credit OF the naval ad-
ministration.

Paintings and Pearls.

There Is an interesting comparison OF
current prices for products OF art and
of nature in the foreign and domestic
news. One reads Of the dazzling figures
commanded at an auction sale OF paint
ings in London. such as SS5.S5 for a
Turner. S44l0O for a Constable. and
amounts IN five figures for works Of
other artists. simultaneously appears IN
New York the tale OF a pearl with a

effort Is being made 10 boost the price
BY the appearance Of the legal repre-
sentative OF an Indian maharajah. who
says that he thinks that the pearl IS

Social Order On the Isthmus.

When some OF the disgruntled critics Of
tho work OF the United States govern
ment on the Panama Canal can an5 no
fault In the progress Of the work: when
the bed OF Gatun dam refuses 20 sIIo and
give them something TO prophesy direiy
about. they turn TO the morals OF the
question. and more than once the allega-
ton has been made that the American
administration down there has done much
TO demoraiize the simple natives and lead
them into paths Of vice and dissipation.
II one were TO have paid heed TO these
critics. he would have been forced 10
belief that the Canal Zone was a hotbed
Of vicious living hard drinking. and evil
ways.
But. fortunately for American credit,
there is a record, and II shows what has
been accomplished In a moral way since
the American industrial occupation. When
we took hold down there about five years
ago there were. so the record shows. some
81 drinking places and groggeries, which

increasing the license fee, in some cases
tenfold. in others fftyfold. This soon
sreduced the number OF drinking places 10

that must have impressed hts constitu-

his immediate predecessor. Mr.. Hoke
Smith Mr.. Smith went into once on
the crest Of an ultra-radical wave-anti-
