Why They Were lowed.

There is need of the ships being
locked and overhauled, but with suffi-
cient coal they could go around the
world without going near a navy yard.
The principal result of the stories that
have appeared in print has been to need
lessly alarm the relatives of the officers
and men of the two cruisers.
1T iss true that the two cruisers were
toWed a good part of the way from
Honolulu. There were several good rea-
sons for this. One was that they were
steaming slower than the rest of the fleet
and 1t was thought that by towing We
could get in quicker. Another reason
was on account of the immense amount
of coal being consumed and a third
was that the commandments want
ed to make some towing tests

Talk of Danger Foolish.

The message Admiral Barry sent
ashore follows: NO protest has been
forwarded by any one asking that the
ships do not go to sea. OF course, the
vessels are in need of repairs after such
long cruise, but as far as there being
any danger in taking them south, that
is all foolishness.
"A recomme ndation was forwarded
asking that the two ships proceed at a
slower speed than the rest of the fleet.
Engines and boilers are, OF course, IN
need of. renairS

alarm the reports have caused relatives

Rear Admiral Giles Il. HARDER, in COM

within the navy stationed at the Vallejo
navy yard was responsible for the dis

THE PEOPLE SOAKED" AGAIN.

A Calumet dealer in shoes informs
The News that spring shoes will be ad-
vanced at least ten per cent over pres
ent prices, the wholesalers charging
that much more for new stock now
being ordered The manufacturers
claim hides have gone up in price and
that the cost Of production is more in
consequence. They claim raw material
has jumped from 10 10 20 per cent, the
cost OF calf skin. for instance. having
advanced four cents a foot. Now this
is a queer state Of affairs. Under the
new Payne-Aldrich tariff law hides
are admitted 20 this country free. yet
IL is argued that hides cost more now
and that II is necessary 20 raise the
prices OF shoes. But we presume we
should be thankful that hides are COM
ing in free or the dear people" would
be soaked even more for their foot
wear. Too bad n boycott can't be
started like that OF the anti-meat eat
ing crusade. but Of course we can't go
barefoot, especially in this climate.
The fact remains that the tariff Is
blamed for many things for which il is
not responsible. The fact that hides
are coming in free lets the tariff out
as a factor in the increase in the price
Of shoes. and the manufacturer wonld
have us believe that the farmer or
raiser is to blame The real ldw-abid-
ing manufacturer couldn't be blamed
you know. for didn't he advise free
hides when tariff revision was being
agitated? He importuned the retail
dealers, the newspapers and everybody
else 10 get up and yell for free hides
20 the people would not have 10 pay so
much for their shoes, so anxious was
he 20 conserve the contents Of the
pocketbOOks Of the wage earners.
This shoe business might bear look
ing into by the government. Neither
the wages of the manufacturers en-
ployes nor the remuneration received
by those who wear shoes have beer
raised. and the value Of a dollar Is
less in consequence In fact. in In,
eyes Of many people, dollar is rather
an insignificant thing In these days ot
high costs Of living.

SHIPS GROWING LARGER.

when the great Cunard liners Lusi-
tania and Mauritania were put i'm SER
vice less than two years ago IL looked
as If they represented the limit of
growth which ships were likely 10 de-
velop for years TO come. II was not
because there existed any physical or
engineering problems in the way Of
greater, size, but it was understood that
the cost of operating these enormous
ships was so great that it would not
prove profitable To duplicate or exceed
them.
Another reason for believing that the
limit of size has been about reached
was the fact that the great Cunard-
ers were about as heavy draft ships as
the channels leading into New York
harbor would accommodate. For a
time it was even feared that these ships
would not be able to enter New York
harbor at all. owing To the non-c COM
pletion of the new Ambrose channel,
which has since been opened up to
service.
The New White Star ships will have
a displacement of $4,000 tons, as COM
pared with the $4,000 tons of the Gu
narders. They will be $40 feet long,
as against the 762 feet of the Maure-
tania and her sister ship. Although
the great white Star liners will not
have such machinery as the fleet of
the Cunarders possess. they will be in
all other respects as luxurious pas
senger carriers as any ships afloat
They will have accommodations for
5000 persons and carry crews of 600
men each.
The building of these ships so much
larger than vessels considered prodi-
gies Of size two years ago indicates
clearly that the growth of ships is
developing more rapidly than ever and
that it would be foolish Indeed to place
any limit beyond which marine archi-
tects may not go, provided marine en-
gineers can construct engines and boil
ers powerful enough to provide mo-
tive power.

BY far the most striking and signi-
ficant fact is the number OF new
farms, on a basis of three acres OF
more, that have been added within
the past ten years. In round numbers
these reach the total OF 1000. 900. or
an increase over 1900 OF is per cent.
During the decade just closed the
value OF the farms OF the United
states Increased from $2o,5i2.OOO.OOo TO
S29, $50, 10000 an increase OF A per
cent. In this value are included not
only the land. but also all buildings
improvements, tools, machinery anf
live stock. and the steady Increase Of
land values revealed by the inquiry
was accelerated i'm the years from
1907 TO 1909 inclusive, the increase
naming arising from the enhanced
value of farm products. Distributed
sectionally. this increase in the num-
Der of farms has been greatest in the
western states. where IL amounts
practically TO an even 100 per cent.
Then follow the South Central States
with an increase OF II per cent. the
Northern Central with 10 per cent,
