NEARLY 5000 SIGNATURES.

There is an agent on the o-W. II.
& n, who Is somewhat given to gath
Grlng statistics. His latest effort
was to determine how many times
during the month he would sign
the name Of his station. The result
was that during the month of Feb
ruary. he had written Hot Lake, his
station name, 1882 times. This seems
TO those not understanding the con
ditions obtaining at Hot Lake sta
don to be almost out of reason. but,
when we remember that the Agent
there Is also Western Union opera
tor freight agent. and express agent,
the figures do not seem too high.
Each ticket sold requires three
signatures.
The Hot Lake station was estab-
lished for the sole benefit OF Hot
Lake sanatorium patrons and all the
business furnished this station Is
derived from that health renewing
Institution. As an evidence OF the
business transacted at this station,
the official records show that dur
,ng the year 1910. 10000 patients Wis.
ted Hot Lake Sanatorium.
An passenger trains stop there
besides a dozen or more freights.
therefore,. Il is easy to see that the
Hot Lake Sauatorium Railroad agent
has something to do besides watch
ng the vapor arising from the great
mineral spring.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1911-11-17

first English dreadnought was put in commission
American-drawn plans for two such vessels tenta
lively called the Feasible and the Possible, re-
posed in dusty pigeonhoes in the navy depart
ment at Washington. They were resurrected
later in the light of developments abroad.
Thirty-five seago1ng battleships and dread
Notwithstanding with the Indiana, Massachu-
sets and Oregon group, laid down in 1891, and in
Guiding the new $8,000,0O0 dreadnoughts New
York and Texas, yet unborn-may be said to con-
stitute the main line of Uncle Sans sea fight
ers.
The other battleship groups and types, in
chronological succession 2, Iowa; 3, Kear-
sarge and Kentucky; 4, Alabama Illinois, Wis
consin, Maine Missouri and Ohio; s. Virginia,
Rhode Island, New Jersey, Georgia, Nebraska,
Kansas, Connecticut, Louisiana, Vermont New
Hampshire, Minnesota, Mississippi and Idaho.
After these beginning in 1906 with the near
dreadnoughts South Carolina and Michigan. come
the present dreadnought series North Dakota,
Delaware, Florida, Utah, Wyoming Arkansas,
Texas and New York
In the meantime, as demonstrated in the mimic
Battle of Block Island" this summer, the sub
marines have practically proved the battleships
vulnerable therefore outclassed and obsolescent.
These maneuvers may be said to have borne out
the prediction of plank in the "Proposed1Pla
form for the American Party published in 1907:
1--WE desire that the American navy shall be
the most powerful and efficient in the world; but
we consider that new inventions have displaced
or are about to dsplace the battleship, cruiser
torpedo-boat and monitor, and therefore hesitate
to make further appropriations for these types OF
fighting craft
Conservative statesmen in the United States
senate have denounced the vast appropriations
for armored ships-sums estimated in the aggre-
gate at more than $4,000, 0O0-as a bad invest
ment. They have stigmatized the United States
navy as "a lot of old tubs, dangerous to
those on the inside than to those without"
Even in England the day of the dreadnought is
beginning to decline. while the submarine-to say
nothing of the aeroplane-is yet In infancy.
At this rate. long, our congress may hear
the cry of the armed-peace advocates changing
to Millions for development of the diving boat;
not one cent more for dreadnoughts!"
The naval men themselves not slow to read
the signs of coming change.
1t may be only question of very few years
when the general adoption of 14-inch gun capa-
fifteen miles will revolutionize naval warfare
Such gun is now in process of trying-out, and
IL 1t proves success it will make all the coast
defenses of today practically useless.
There Is no doubt" declares Rear Admiral
Francis T. Bowles, U. s. N, retired that fleet
equipped with the new finch gun of the latest
type could raze New York or any other seaport
In less than an hour. 1t seems to me that the
answer to this problem of coast defense is made
by the submarine. believe that the submarine
is going to be taken more seriously every year
by naval experts. 1t Is the most deadly enemy ~

sav-oro ont of tho front line now Some of them
participated in the recent tneoretlcal coast nd-
neuvers against New York and Boston, out tney
were technically sunk by tue supinai ines anu
torpedo boats.
For an example of rapid toboggan1ng into
desuetude, look at the three stately protected
cruisers st. Louis Charleston and Milwaukee,
which cost about $3,800,000 apiece when they
were built in 1902. Even then, certain DICK DEAD
eyes of the navy declared that this type was OBJ
solete before the cruiser triplets went Into COM
mission. Be that as it may, at the present day
these $11 ,O00 900 worth Of cruiers are generally
regarded as three white elephants which the navy
is bothered to know what to do with.
The monitors stand for a picturesque but ex-
pensive fad dating from the infancy days OF iron
clads in the Civil of fifty years ago, when
Ericsson's small "cheesebox on raft In Hamp-
ton Roads put the Confederate Merrmac out OF
business and saved the nation II 1t were not for

have been within decade reomdeled into single
turret coast defenders are the Cheyenne, once
the Wyoming the Ozark formerly the Arkansas.
and the Tallahassee and the Tonopah, which used
to be respectively the Florida and the Nevada.
When a special class craft is tried OUT such,
for example, as the Vesuvius dynamite gunboat OF
nearly twenty years ago, she soon either goes to
the lumber attic herself or else puts some other
type In the obsolete class. In either case, Uncle
Sans scrap-heap grows larger and more miscei-
laneous.
Such is the universal law of naval evolution.
England France and Germany are in this same
naval junk business on a vast scale and Italy
and Austria in smaller way.
The excuse is the general one OF modern mill
tarsna-that competitive war preparation Is the
price of peace From the financial viewpoint OF
the taxpayer the high cost of peace is about the
same as that of active hostilities.
At any rate, the most recent practical lessons
of war are applied with marvellous results OF
progress to the worlds navies, and In no country
is this more strikingly exempdfed than in the
United States.
Walter s. Meriwether, the wellknown naval
authority, has shown in illustration OF the de-
velopment of gunnery since the Spanish war
tnat in the target practice OF United States war
ships today the percentage of misses Is actually
smaller than the percentage Of hits was at San
tiago
According to the same authority. the idea OF
the modern dreadnought or alI-big-gun battleship
originated In our own navy Years before the

tie the Olympia was Admiral Dewey's flagship
at Manila Bay, and the Raleigh also of the Ma
Mia squadron, under command of Capt. Jo-
seph B. Coghlan of "Hoch der Kaiser" fame. The
Olympia is at the Naval Academy, the Brooklyn
at the Philadelphia yard and the Raleigh at
Mare Island.
The armored cruiser Brooklyn built at Phil
adelphia in 1885, is the largest of the vessels
named She is of 9,215 tons displacement and
was completed at a cost of SO, 067, 915 The next
largest of the four vessels is the Saratoga lex

pia is second-class cruiser, built at San Fran
cisco in 1925. The Raleigh is a third-class
cruiser, built at Norfolk at about the same time.
Both are of the protected type.
Some of the big armorclads are but recently
out of commission, or lin reserve"-that means
headed for Davy Joness locker, though as yet
the marked-down price tag has not been attached.

PASTOR OF CHURCH 40 YEARS

One of the unique figures in the re-
Hgious world of today is Rev. Dr.
Robert Stuart Macarthur, former pas
tor of Calvary Baptist church, New
York city and newly elected president
of the World Alliance of the Baptist
Church.
DR.. Macarthur was born in Can
ada of Scotch parentage. After grad
uating from Rochester Theological
seminary he began his pastorate in
the above church May Is, 1870. Since
his pastorate he has Increased the
membership from 238 to $500. He has
laid on Gods altar for church work,
city missions and home and foreign
missions more than 100000. This
is a remarkable record, especially
when it is borne in mind that not
millionaire is to be found in the mem
bership.
His election calls to mind that DR..
Macarthur, who seems far from fitting

The auctioneer Uncle Sam, and the occa-

Uncle Sam has from 900 to $150, O00.0 900
worth OF battleships, cruisers, monitors gun
boats and other miscellaneous exight1ng craft
piled up In his naval junk-shop That is to say,

on his hands cost him the tidy sum indicated for
construction alone, not counting guns and equip
ment These latter represent more or less per-
tshable value, too, but that's another story.
1t was doubtless owing to Uncle Sans reputa-
ton for unsent1mentality in regard to superannu-
ated war vessels that general credence was given
to recent rumor that Turkey proposed to pur-
chase from the United States the four armored
cruisers Olympic, Saratoga, Brooklyn and Raleigh.
This runor promptly denied from Washing

Plan to Make Labor Day Greatest
Holiday of the Year.
A plan which may result in making
Labor day a national play day was
suggested by Francis T. Simmons.
president of the Lincoln park board
at the dinner given recently by the
Playground Association of Chicago to
Joseph Lee, president Of the Play
ground Associatin of America.
Mr. Simmons suggested that all park
boards and commissions and all char
table and other similar organizations
should begin preparation at once to
make Labor day the biggest holiday
of the year. The suggestion was sec
onded by Jane Adams, who in her
address added the further suggestion
that a law be passed to convert ev-
cry vacant lot into a playground until
sold for use as a building site.
Mr.. Lee, who spoke Of the work of
the Playground association, said that
Chicago led the country in play spots
for children.
"Play is growth; it is the way a
child becomes a man." he said. 1.-THE
sports of today are too unreal. In
baseball and football and other games
we buy some one else's play. What
we need to do is to encourage the big

come when every progressive business
house will realize it's advantage and

A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF
WORK DONE BY LEGISLATURE

to acquaint themselves with its provi-
7ions and conditions, which are revolu-
tionary as compared with present
methods. As fast as possible we shall
circulate copies of this act and it should
be made a subject for study by every
workingman and employer in the state
as each are deeply interested.
The Initiative, Referendum and Recall
hills just passed will necessitate a cam
paign of education during the coming
two years in order that all the people
may understand their merits and sup
port them at the polls in Nov 1912.
Thus you see there is much to do. We
must make a success of the legislation
secured as efforts will, no doubt, be
made by a succeeding legislature to re-
peal that which we have attained on the
ground that we are more advanced in
these matters than are other states and
consequently are driving industry from
among us. Do your part and we will
not only maintain what we have secured
but 90 before succeeding sessions and
secure more and more advanced legisla-
tion.
Yours for the good of all the people,
