The New Sailor.

Secretary Meyer of the Navy De-
nartment saws that all naval recruits
should have the facility for acquiring
knowledge of electricity. mechanical
and machinery work because our great
hattleships today are nothing more
nor less than great moving machine
shops" This marks the passing OF
the old sstilorman. The man-of- wars
man who rolled about our docks for
many. years voicing his fine scorn of
the landlubber and merchant sailor
man. without realizing it, has lost his
usefulness. The modern sailor may
not be able to climb about in mid-air
rope yarn. He is a thorough mechanic
who is more likely to know the in
tricacies of piece of delicate ma
chinery than he is to know the fine art
of making a splice.
This change has not lowered the
standard of American seamen. On the
contrary it has raised it, as the de-
mand for mechanics carries with it a
demand for higher degree of educa-
ton and specialization along some
specific line. Self reliance, courage,
devotion to duty. obedience and all the
other attributes which characterized
the Yankee sailor in the old sailing
ship days when he was the peer of
sailormen the world over. are de-
veloped just as highly now as then.
But the modern tar gets something
more. Where the old sailor learned
little at sea that could be of practical
value to him on land, the young man
who now enters the naval service en-
joys an exceptional opportunity to
secure at least the foundation of a
practical education in electricity and
in several of the mechanic arts.
The trend from the happy -go-lucky
Jack Tar of other years to the more
serious minded mechanic Of the pres
ent day is a change for the better.
While the United States is first OF all
a fighting machine with
which to protect our rights it is also
a vast trade school in
which the pick of young American
manhood is given a practical educa-
ton

SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.
(Atchison. CKanD GIobe)


There is an insurgent in nearly every
home, and intimate association there
with should make you sympathize a
little with Mr.. Taft
One of the most expensive habits a
man can get into is the habit of not
being gentleman. And it is habit
easily acquired.
A plumber doesn't expect the general
run of people to know how to plum,
but how ar Artist will abuse people
for not knowing all about Art,
Having remarked what a profit Dr.
Cook made on his nerve, you may. well
wonder if there isn't some delay in the
time when the meek shall inherit the
earth.
When a man has trouble with his
stomach. it is due to one of two caus-
es: Either his wife is such a good cook
she is stutfing him. or she is such a
poor one she is starving him.

Greater Width For Rines Hill Road
way. @4

way.
Citizens of Augusta who nave the
best interests of the city at heart
should give attention to the petition
providing for the widening of Water
street on Rines Hill from the Purinton
Block to the corner of Gage street.
The petition is as follows: I'VE the
undersigned, citizens of Augusta, here
by petition that Water street be wild
ened from a point of beginning at the
southwesterIy corner OF the Purinton
Bros. building and extending souther-
" to a point at the corner OF Gage
street and said Water street as is
shown by the plan attached to this pc
tition.'
In order to carry out the pro-
visions of the petition the city
would TAX. possession of trian-
gular piece of land ten feet wide
at the base (Which is an extension of
the line separating the land of the
Lendall 1itcomb estate and Purinton
Bros.) and extending southerly along
the front of the building now occupied
as a laundry, thence across the right
of-way Of the Maine Central through
the machine shop and stable to point
at the corner of Gage and Water
streets.
The land damages will be inconsider-
able, as it is understood that the Maine
Central Railroad is willing to part with
it's rights fer a very small sum if in
deed it asks any compensation The
change would enable the city to
straionten Water street and provide
broader roadway for the heavy traffic
which passes through that thorough
fare. The Maine Central Railroad
will make the improvements at Rines
Hill crossing the coming season ana
now is the time for the city to secure
for future improvements.
When the Masonic Temple. kcnne-
bee Journal and Purinton Brothers
buildings We're erected they were set
back from what was then the street
line in order to provide additional
width of roadway and walk. The pc
tition submitted Monday evening is
but the natural sequel to the work
which was at that time begun. IL
should receive the support of all good
citizens as it means a marked improve
ment in our principal business street.

idea that the mother is better per-
son to raise a child than the father IS
NOT sustained bv the figures in this
report. for nearly twice as many chill
dren cared for by the mother alone
were brought before the court, than
was the case where the father was in
charge. There were 259 cases of Juve-
nile delinquency among the latter, and
80 among the former.
This new light on the divorce evil is
worthy of consideration on the part OF
those who have interested themselves
in preventing divorce. Undoubtedly
there are homes in which the condi-
tions are such that divorce is better
than a continuance of those condl-
tions. in which the children are even
more likely to become delinquents
than would be the case il the parents
were separated and the children went
into the custody of one or the other or
even of a third party or institution,
but in general the exercise of such
forebearance as is necessary to pre-
serve the home would yield good re-
suits in better children. Better chill
dren mean Il higher standard of men
and women and consequently less di-
vorce in future years.
