ONE OF THOSE FXCITING
NAVY OUARRELS

One may have tried never 50 hard To
follow the details of the navy court
martial which closed Friday at
Charlestown without getting past the
state Of mind OF little Peterkin" and
wondering what it was all about. But
II seems TO have been asfsmous row
In private life we might have had a
hundred such with nobody giving them
another thought, but the navy seems
to be sadly Perturbed-
The best we can make cat l. that
the man in the case took the picture
OF a girl without her consent and that
he was subsequently ejeeted-frOm a
dance by paymaster after the pay
master had been informed of the hap
pening by another young woman who
wouldn't gossip for the world" but
who egged him on. From this on the
difficulty becomes moe and more con
fused. and we are finally brought
plump against the press report that
Just as a tsIkstive woman on the wit
ness stand was going to tell all about
1 everything, the real cause" of the
trouble included, the court wouldn't
let her do II.
Why the case was Of enough I'M
portance TO call for a court martial is
not understood. II brings out the fact
that there Is a lot of gossip IN the
navy set and makes II appear that
1t would be eel If the men were a
little buster so that they, al least,
would not find time 70 Join IN such
petty squabbIes. For real tempest

sets in the navy and army It's a
great pity that so much publicity must
be given TO qusrrels that make grown
men look 50 foolish.

AGRICULTURAL CLUBS FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS.

A question of the utmost Importance
lust now Is how 10 give the best
possible education 10 the boys and girls
on the farm. with a view TO inducing
them to remain on the farm and fitting
them TO make the most of all the ad-
vantages there are IN country life, in
diligently lived. In these days when
ire cry IS going up that there Is need
for more and better farming and an
increased agricultural production, any
movement to give better training to
the young people in the country Is OF
moment. In this connection the De
partment of Agriculture has devised
a new method Of agricultural education
in the form of boys and girls clubs
that promises TO achieve good results.
The 6oys' and girls clubs have
various objects, bur usually they pro
vide for prize contests among the mem
bers- Corn growing contests are prob
ably the most common among the boys,
although many other crops have been
tried, while the girls compete n bread

LITTLE PROGRESS IN RAIL

f adjustment of the wages OF the rail
road employees Of the country on
basis that viii enable the employees to
support their families comfortably and
on such terms as viii not result IN
general increase IN railroad rates TO the
shipping public, appears to be remote
from 2 solution. The developments Of
the past week, particularly in the East,
are not encouraging for early adjust
ment. Conferences have been held be-
tween the officials and conductors and
trsinmen of a number of the Eastern
roads with indefinite results, for the
NEST part. Indications are it viii re
quire prolonged negotiations TO arrive
at any understanding

curing more rapidly Sixty Western
roads have notified their 6remen that

Considering the station IN life of the
parties and the circumstances of this

PRESIDENT OPPOSED TO A
TARIFF WHITEWASH-

President Taft i pertUrbed over the
movement inaugurated by the high
tariff leaders in Congress to conduct
an investigation into the cost of living
and high prices which viii whitewash
the tariff The President has called
in some OF the leaders and has told
them his views He wants an honest
nd impartial investigation, without
reference 20 whether the tariff Is hit or
not He feels that any other sort Of an
inquiry, an inquiry conducted with the
object of shielding the tariff, would
be worse than useless, that the country
would resent 1t, and that 1t would be
politically dangerous.
Whether the President Is a good
politician or not Is a disputed matter,
but he has his ear so much closer
10 the ground with respect to what sort
Of an investigation should be had than
the Senate and House high tariff
leaders that there Is no comparison. If
these leaders have not lost al their
political aeumen, to say nothing Of a
sense Of fairness and justice, Il ey VIII
cease their efforts to prevent an i'm
partial inquiry.

INDIANAPOLIS EXPERIMENT
WITH 60-CENT GAS.

indianapolis has two gas companies.
one of which has not been in business
long. but is selling ges at so cents a
thousand cubic feet Possibly our
friends who make gas viii tell US that
the reason it can sell at that Fste
Is because it won't be III the business
long, either. The Indianapolis News
gives some figures. however. which
make the outlook seem very rosy It
says
In 4 little more than month Of
operation the main plant produced
about $4,000, 900 feet Of coal gas. and
the cost OF this in the holder, by
reason of the value of the by
products, was practically nothing.
Technically il was figured at one
fourth OF one cent thousand cubic
feet
With coal gas in the holder costing
nothing, 1t hardly seems necessary to
worry about natural gas. Distribution,
returns on, capital, and depreciation
cost something, Of course; but with the
by-products taking care Of the manu-
facture of the gas used even 60-cent
gas seems rather eXOrbitant-
