BRITAIN,s GREAT NAVY.

 Supreme Sea Power.


 Supreme Sea Power.
 Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 The British naval estimates provide for an appropriation of $l75.Ii 3.5oo, and for the construction of four twenty destroyers, and S5.000. 500 worth of submarines, The naval bill in Congress this winter carried an ap. propristion of nearly $la7'ooo.o99. .s.a ana thoughts. eight destroyers. one collier. and four submarines.
 A navy in the United States is thus land maintains a naval establishment very much greater than ours, and for about s4o.oO0.oo0 additional expendi. lure receives additional war craft extra sum. American sailors receive higher pay. better rations. ana the cost of construction and maintenance
 There is Included in the estimates a clause in which the lords of the ad- miralty seek the power to build as dfli dftlonai armored arr ships-probably bat tie ships-in case of need. The de- bate will rage around this proposal which Is designed to enable England to heet any forward naval pohcy III

Whether tne aa miralty shall receive the grant for the extra ships or not. there is no doubt that England has decided to maintain her navy at the highest possible pltch' for the reason that, if the present pro gram shall be followed, Great Brit. ain will have in 1911 only fourteen or the Dreadnought classs to thirteen which Germany will then have.
 The world interest in Engiand's na- val plans is due to the fact that as England builds so will build the pow CTS. England sets the pace. Ihe that Germany and the other powers will continue to build and to main tain great navies, and that the dream of disarmament is begot of fantasy.

Oregon Plan in Nebraska.


 The Nebraska legislature has passed and Gov. Shallenberger has signed the bill providing for the adoption of the oregon plan of electing United States Senators in Nebraska. The Oregon statute will give to the people of Ne- braska the advantage enjoyed by the tage of electing their senators by di- rect vote. Under the Federal Consti- elected by the legislators of the va rious States. and 1t Is impossible to change this provision without con- stitutional amendment. oregon, how ever. has by a practical method reach ed substantially the same end by 0 law. which provides for the subrnis. legislature. The candidate. of course. has the privilege. of signing the pledge or of refusing to sign 1t. but his refusal to sign 1t. being a decla- ration against the election of United States Senators by the people. would put him at a disadvantage. and his opponent would gain the advantage that naturally comes from a recogni- ton of the right of the people. to r1le. Other States ought to take advantage of this plan.

aBiII" Popular now.

Someone with a lot of patience has been inquiring what will be the most popular given name in the Sixty-first Congress. He has plowed through the list of the House members and of the Senators, He has discovered that there are more men named "Bill' than anything else He says the moral of it all Is that if fond parents want their sons to land in, the White House course to take. and that is to name them "RilI." Of course. the Congress sional Directory puts the name down as William. But with a man named "Bili' in the White House, " William will be used less than ever. The old. est and most venerated of the men of the name in Congress is Senator Frye of Maine. whose full name is William Pierce Frye, and who is one of the best fishermen who ever trod Penn syIvania avenue. One of the most popular Of the lot on the Senate side Is '"Bin" Borah of Idaho. still new Senator, but one of the most promts- ing of the younger statesmen.
