We learn that a severe storm
passed over the Pointe Claire and
Coteau Home section Monday af-
ternoon. which did considerable
damage. Several buildings we're
reported torn down and some da-
mage done to the crops. From
the dark clouds over that section
we could see from st. Martinville
that it was raining, and the int1ica-
tions were that we would also have
rain, but the weather soon cleared
and all was over. The storm last
ed only a short time, and although
severe with our neigh bors, had no
effect here.

A New Plan To Cure
Drunkenness.
N. o. Daily States.

In the event that Mayor Gaynor
approves a bill which has been
passed by the Legislature, New
York will adopt new method of
treating drunkards, as the measure
provides for a board whose bust.
ness it will be to look after ine-
briates. Instead of conflning the
victims of the liquor habit in Jail
for time and then turning them
ont and repeating the performance
every time they fall off the water
wagon, the unfortunates will be
placed on farm where they will
have an opportunity for outdoor
life and work.
1t is believed that this will give
the drunksrd chance to reclaim
his self-respect and to develop
enough will power to resist the
temptation to drink. While the
plan is an experiment there is rea-
son to believe that it will be the
means of restoring to decent and
useful citizenship many derelicts
who, without the aid and moral
encouragement it is proposed to
give them, would sink into the
depths of degradation.
The board will take charge of
those who are convicted for the
fourth time of public intoxication,
and as every large city has it's
class of habitual drunkards, it
would seem worth while to see if
treatment, under scientific and hui
name direction, cannot accomplish
much more than a jail sentence,
which experience has proved to be
failure as cure for drunkenness

Senator Hale's Prediction
IN. o. Daily Sta.ps)

The Senate committee on naval
affairs has prepared statement
showing the cost of each of the |
twenty-six battleships under the
appropriations for the enlargement
of the navy to June 80, 1909, and
up to that date the total cost was
$15S, 52O,14l, exclusive of mainten-
ance. Tho maintenance cost for
each ship is estimated to be about
81 100000 year, according to the
statement of Senator Perkins,
chairman of the committee, but
Senator Hale says that in addition
to the 81 100000 for actual expen-
ses, there are constant deteriora-
tons. repairs and additions that
bring the amount up to nearly
100000 year for each battle
ship.
In the course of recent debate
Senator Hale declared that the
ships built twenty years ago are
practically fit for nothing but the
junk heap. hence they are like
money thrown into the sea. "There
are no twenty years of life for
battleship," he said, with the eff
ficiency that she has when she
starts. She is al the time beng
crowded out, and her place is be-
ing taken by new, a more exag-
gerated type and the naval boari
in sending their reports to us from
year TO year, lose their interest in
the ships they reported five years
ago, and devote themselves to flu
ture ships"
This Is plain statement of facts
that was not challenged in the Sc
nate because it could not be dis
puted. Mr.. Hale predicted that
if the government does not stop
building ships for the time being,
the naval appropriation bill with
in the next four or FIVE years will
provide for STE, 100000 year in
stead of Sl3O,OOO,OOO as now. But
Congress this year has authorized
the construction of two more bat
tleships of the dreadnought type,
each of which when completed will
cost about 81, 100000.
