navy and his transfer TO the command
Of the Asiatic fleet Whatever may
have been the purpose of the authori-
ties in making the change, still great
err interest attaches to the personality
Of his successor This place has here

Secretary Meyers has recently adopt
ed the policy OF selecting compare
lively young officers for high posi-
tions, and it would not Sc surprising
to those closely in touch with the sit
uation, were the secretary to appoint
to that office, a young man who will
put into operation throughout the ma
Wy department. the new system which
will be imported from England.
Secretary Meyer has encountered
considerable opposition in his effort
to concentrate work at several of the
large Atlantic coast yards, from poll
ticians who WELD great influence in
Congress owing to his announced in
tention to abolish the yards at New
Orleans, Pensacola and Charleston.
Realizing that one of the purposes of
Secretary Meyers trip to Europe was
to collect data to sustain his position
in his navy yard policy Southern SEN
otors and representatives are rallying
to the defense of the southern yards.
They promise fight to a finish at the
next session of congress. Close friends
Of the Secretary are expressing the
fear that, il he persists in his deter
minatlon to concentrate work and
abandon some of the southern yards,
he will encounter opposition, which
will prevent him from securing appro-
priations to carry out his plans for
reorganization. How serious this op-
position will be is shown by the fact
the the Democratic majority in the
House is controlled by southern men,
bers. Representative J. P. Dadgett, Of
Tennessee is chairman of the house
naval committee and although he has
not so far expressed an opinion on the
Meyer plan of navy yard reorganiza-
ton, those who are leading the fight
count on his support when the time
comes. OF course the Senators and
Representatives from Louisiana,
South Carolina, and Florida are the
most determined to prevent the aban-
dorment Of the yards in their states,
and are banding together for this pur-
pose.
In general way the contention Of
these southern senators and represen.
tatives is that Mr.. Meyers concentra-
ton plans should not be such as to
only irjure Southern navy yards. If
the secretary of the navy can show
that the plan of concentrating all work
in three or four yards is not directed
solely against the southern yards, he
will not be SO vigorously opposed.
Secretary Meyer has endeavored on
several occasions to make it clear that
a navy yard should not be looked upon
as strategic point of Defense A city
like New Orleans he contends is safer
without a navy yard than with one, as
the yard has no means Of repelling an
enemy, and it's presence invited at
tack.
But the southern congressman OBJ
jects to their removal, chiefly for the
reason that 1t would put consdera-
bic number of employees out of work
besides destroying markets for mater
ial.

to let the sheriff have a room in the

demands that all fees in excess OF a

THE PERFECT MAN.

There died recently in a Missouri
town man who. ii common repor
and his own assertion may be relied
on, was about as near perfection a:
man born Of woman can attain in this
world This man mace the prAic
boast that he had never ,old lie CT
spoken a cross word to his wife, He
capped the assertion by accreditine
his wife with qualities equal to mis-
own.
On first thought one hardly knows
where to place this amazing character
He lived in Missouri and when one
remembers the prediction OF that PEG
pie for Naing shown. coupled with the
fact that his neighbors certified 10
the truth of his boast, Ii Is apparent
that he made out a strong case before
departing this life at the age of SIS.
The news dispatches are silent,
however. concerning some things an
outsider ',ould like TO know. He musI
nave been awfully lonesome. Every
nan In town going to work cheered
and refreshed by the daily morning
spat with his wife must have shun.
ned him as a breathing reproach.
Certainly, in view Of the fact that he
could not tell lie, nobody would dare
invite him to a soeiable little game
il draw or think of embarking win
him on bouse of even the most
larmless sort. Then, again, how
many thousand times he must have
been her up as shining light to
srring everyday husbands That in
itself would seem to be enough to
turn every man in the town against
aim. He must have picked his steps

If tie whole community watching for

Grace The married man must have
attended his funeral with well.dis-
sembled grief and sign OF relief
The question that pre-eminently
calls for an answer, however, is: For
how much Of the mans perfection
was he really entitled to credit and
how much was yicarious? When one
considers that his wife never spoke
cross word to him and never told
him tib it is apparent that there is
some room for speculation-for doubt
even. One wonders whether he would
have got to heaven with a DOGGY
