Division Of Submarines.
Orders have been issued ORGANIZING the
third submarine division of the Atlantic
torpedo fleet. This division will consist
of six Of the newest and largest SUBJ
marines. making it one of the strongest
organizations of the kind in any navy of
the world. The division will consist of
the Grayling (f1agship), Narwhal. Sting
ray, Tarpon and Bonita at present, and
within a few weeks the Salmon and
Snapper will be added. The gunboats
Castine and Nina will be assigned to the
division as tenders. Originally it was
intended that this division should be sent
to the new torpedo base at Charleston
for winter operations. but it has been
decided to have them remain at Boston
until spring, by which time much
additional work will be done to the va
rious vessels.
New Use for the Texas.
Although no decision has as yet been
made in the matter. it is expected that
the battleship Texas will be turned over
to the naval militia of the state of Mas
sachusetts and given berth at the Boston
navy yard for it's use. The Texas.
now over twenty years old. and the first
battleship of the so-called new nayy. is
an excellent ship for the use of the naval
militia. 1t is considered good policy to
employ ship like the Texas for the
purpose indicated, SO that the naval
militia may have the opportunity to get
shipw.se and not have all its training
within the four walls Of an armory.
Naval Ram as a Target.
The work Of preparing the ram Katah-
din at the naval proving grounds at In
dian Head on the Potomac river for i'm

is going forward satisfactorily. Tempo
rary bulkheads are being placed in the
old ship, and heavy plates will be installed
in order to permit a series of butt tests

Stimulating Military Recruiting.

The military and naval authorities are
considering the methods which it may be
necessary, sooner or later, to adopt to
stimulate enlistments. With the return
Of prosperity and the demand for labor
in all parts Of the country. recruiting for
the service naturally falls off. and some
officers believe that even under condi-
lions most favorable to recruiting there
will be more or less difficulty in obtaining
eligible men.
The Navy Department has adopted a
plan of obtaining recruits by correspond
ence. Names of eligible young men
have been obtained and will be kept on
file, and a series of letters pointing out
the advantages of the service will be sent
to them. These names have been obtained
from various sources, including enlisted
men already in the service who know of
friends at home who come within the
class Of those acceptable as recruits.
Numerous suggestions have reached the
War Department of methods to stimulate
enlistments in the army. One or the most
interesting came from Col. q. r. chase,
inspector general, who believes it would
be possible to apply an old and neglected
statute, which provides a premium of 81
to be paid any citizen, non-commissioned
officer or soldier for each accepted recruit
he may bring to a recruiting rendezvous.
The suggestion has been disapproved by
the officials of the War Department. 1t
was found that it would add to the eX-
pense of recruiting, since 1t was a safe
surmise that every recruit accepted would
MUM to some one. Moreover. it was
thought that this would lead to all sorts
of Irregularities and introduce an oppor-
tunity for graft, and in the end would
be of no material advantage.
Passing of the Brooklyn.
A trife over eleven. years ago the
cruiser Brooklyn. as the flagship of Ad-
miral Schley, in the battle of Santiago.
led in the pursuit Of the flying fleet of
Admiral Cervera, and shot from her guns
did great damage to the Spanish navy.
Eleven years ago the Brooklyn was the
pride of the American navy, and an up
to-date model of her tSre of cruiser.
Today she is lying partially dismantled
and will probably never see active service
again. Her hull is perfectly sound, her
engines are in good condition, and the yes
sci appears to be as good as she was dur
ing the Spanish war;
The Navy Department has ruled. how
ever, that she is out-of-date. and she
will he allowed to go into disuse, while
more expensive vessel Will take her
place in the line of the United States
navy. Without considering the senti-
mental interest that attaches to the
Brooklyn, it appears to the lay mind as
mistake to allow her to go to the junk
heap.
Smoking at Naval Academy.
Superintendent Bowyer Of the Naval
Academy is drawing the net close about
those midshipmen who delight In smok

mitted to. To suppress this practice an
order has gone forth that any midship-
man who is reported a certain number
of times for smoking stands in danger
of being recommended for dismissal from

with the same happy smile that other
visitors have worn on similar occa

statehood bill. but slipped up on his
attempt to get through congress the
Alaskan government bill. In the last
session. however, Senator Beveridge
helped the president pass the railroad
bill and worked in harmony with Mr.
Taft. He is said to enjoy the friend

however on an anti.tariff and insur

BARRING OF THE FIGHT PIC
TJRES

The action of the city authorities
here in barring moving pictures
showing the fight between Jeffries
and johnson can not be too highly
commended. 1t was to be expected
that Southern communities would
take steps to bar these pictures be-
cause of the danger of melting race
riots and prejudice, but the ban on
them is not confined to the South.
Even Boston, CINCINNATI and Phila-
delphia and many other Northern
and Western cities have taken the
same steps, and it begins to look as
if the men who spent over hun
bred thousand dollars in acquiring
the picture rights from the fighters
are, in slang parlance, stung. 1t is
most improbable that any decent
white people in the South desire to
witness, even on canvas, the dis
gushing spectacle which took place at
Reno, and still more improbable
when that spectacle shows a negro
triumphant over white man.
Prize-fghters, whether white or
black, are about on a level, and are
not much more than brutes at the
best, bat even at that it is not pleas
ant and not calculated to make the
white man considerate of the negro
when pictures are shown illustrating
a nego vanquishing a white opponent.
The fight was an unfortunate affair
from its inception, as is best proved
by the fact that already over a score
of negroes are dead and dozens Of
others injured as a direct result. Its
effect on the lower order of whites
was bad enough, but its effect on
some negroes, already too presump-
tious, was worse. The pictures have
no place here, or anywhere else, for
that matter, and we are glad they
are barred.

DISSATISFACTION IN GEORGIA

DISSATISFACTION IN GEORGIA
The Richmond Times-Dispatch
thinks the suggestion Of the Atlanta
Constitution as TO the reformation
Of Georgia's judicial system by
farmers and business men a rather
poor one and decidedly impracti-
cable idea. Says The Times-Dls-
patch:
"Our observation has been that
farmers and business men are not
especially qualified to make or re-
form judicial systems. They know,
unouestionably, what is right ana
what is wrong, but there is an art IN
making laws which they do not pos
sess In a marked degree. Their bet
ter plan. if they really wish to re-
form judicial procedure In Georgia
is to elect better lawyers to the Leg
;slature. The best lawyers, how
ever do not care to enter the lists
for Legislative honors, thanks TO the
present system of making nomina-
mons which has made 1t necessary
for men to buttonhole the voters
for their support. Time was in one
State that we know when men were
sent to the Legislature because OF
their acknowledged fitness for the
service and not because they were
good at 'lectioneering. and when
that time comes again 1t VIII De
fonnd that there are just as good
fish in the sea as were ever caught
before the skillful demagogue be-
came the alleged statesman.
What our Richmond contemporary
saws is absolutely true. Farmers
and business men are no more quail
fled to make or reform judicial sys-
TENS or procedure than lawyers are
to farm successfully. Law is a
science which even many lawyers so
called. do not understand. knowl-
edge of the law must be acquired oy
hard study at some law school and
in persistent application thereafter.
If the lawyers in the Georgia Legis-
lature do not meet the approval OF
the Constitution, it is probably be-
cause of the fact that Georgia does
not pay its representatives enough
to attract good men and the further
fact that down there, as IN other
States, men are elected not on issues
of ability and learning in the law
but simply as they may favor some
issue more popular and generally
more radical than their opponents OF
greater ability. If the people OF
Georgia are dissatisfied with the
character of their representatives
they can effect a reform at any time
they choose to do so.
