MOST COMMENTED SHIP IN NAVY

MOST COMMENTED SHIP IN NAVY.
A member of the crew of the bat
tleship Mississippi writes to the Blue
jacket letter in which he says that
he and his mates are just about the
best and happiest lot of tars in Uncle
Sans service.
I'm five months time" he says,
there were 142 men over leave and
liberty on this ship alone, nearly one
man for each day. Considering the
amount of leave and liberty that has
been granted the men of this snip,
the showing made has been far below
what it was on other ships. For the
average for the sixteen battle-ships,
447 is over three times the absentees
from this ship, and the total, 1851, is
a disgrace to the service.
Another table shows that the Mis-
sissippi during a certain period Of
1910 had less assertions than any of
! the other ships of the fleet, and in
Guiding a number of large ships of
the Asiatic and Pacific stations. When
the helm of this ship was taken in
hand by Captain William F. Fullam,
our present commanding officer, yo,.
published in the Bluejacket the in
formation that he had established i'm
mediately after assuming command
the free gangway policy, just as he
had successfully done at Newport, his
previous place of command.
'The result of the step is appar,
ent now in the good work done by
our men in races, drills, endurance
tests and conduct, loyalty to the ser
vice and patriotism. Immediately af
ter the result of the races became
known Captain Fullam issued an or
der that every man on the ship BIZ
placed on the first conduct list, ant
that there wcNld be no blacklist il
the future; also that men of the Mis-
sissippi will not be deprived of liberty
as a punishment in the future.
Our men are proud and so are ou
officers, who have helped so much t.
make this the most contented ship il
the Navy. We won four cups out o
nine, and came in a mighty close sec
ond for two other cups The Pensa
cola cup involved three races-cut
tiers, whaleboats and dinghys. 1t il
sort of general excellence cup, anC
we won two of the three races for tn,
cup and got third place in the othe
race"

10000 Men Useless.
Seattle Times: There is no reason
for the United States to establish a
garrison of 10000 men in the Hawai-
ian and Philippine Islands. In case
Of invasion by a foreign power, this
number would be woefully inadequate
and the only result would be the
slaughter or capture of a larger I'm
stead ola smaller body of brave men
by an overwhelming force.
If we are going to protect our isl
and possessions by force of arms in
stead Of by force of mind, we must
equip them with guns, ships and men
capable of meeting the sort of resist
ance which they undoubtedly would
meet if they attempted to hold them
in the face of an invading army.
We must stock the islands with
food capable of sustaining white fight
ing men-substances which the isl
ands themselves do not produce We
must equip the Notifications with
modern guns in far greater quantities
than we have heretofore been able to
supply. And we must garrison the
islands-not with 10000, but nearer
100, goo troops capable of protecting
these fortifcations from the rear as
the guns of the forts can protect them
from the front.
! The sending OF reinforcements to
the garrisons in the islands is a step
in the right direction, but it can be
considered only as a step. Unless
more men are sent after them, this
first installment of reinforcements is
not only a needless waste of money IN
transportation, but an actual danger
of making of these men a needless
! sacrifice.
Twelve thousand men would not b'

army as Japan, for instance, woult

Minneapolis is the only city whose fifteen year-old
pupils number threefourths of those years old.
No other city boast fifteen year-old pupils who
number one-half as many as the seven-year-od, and
Philadelphia retains at the age of fifteen less than
third of the seven-year-od.
Obviously such a situation exist only with the
through the connivance of the fathers and
mothers Of course, there many parents who,
pinched by debt and great need of the few dollars
that be earned by child labor of sort and
other eagerly reach out for the wage earning aid of the
children But it can be safely assumed that many par
by the exercise of little patience and for
bearance could give the children years
acquire the preparation they sorey need for
ing living You merely have to glance at the ranks of
newsboys bootblacks, messenger boys, and numerous
other child aborers in order appreciate where these
children who should be in school, are spending their
days and nights.
1t is fact admitted by all educave authorities and
demonstrated by official figures that much less than
half many children found in the eighth grade

large number of the pupils either leave school entirely

- HILDREN are entitled to the best that we can
L give them. Sentiment, sense of justice, the
law of the land, and concern for the welfare OF
the country have insured Them apparently the certain
of good educations; but the records of the schools
being published by the Government show that
thousands of children derauded year after
of the benefit of public schools. So startling is the
situation that time for parents awake to the fact
that they cheating their boys and girls of the thing
most necessary for fighting the hard battles of life.
1t is common and threadbare boast that every
yOungser the land is of education and fair
start but the boast has not yet brought with it the
achievement. Statistics show that not more than half
of the children throughout the United States obtain the
benefits of schooling provided in graded public schools
Most children do go to school when they seven
and eight years DID, but woefuly few found at
their desks at the ages of fourteen and fifteen.
In those few years their ranks have been decmated
by principal their illness, and the ndiffer
of parentsindeed the illness of children is often
due to the neglect of parents So that taking this into
consideration, forced to the conclusion that the
parents OF the country at present guilty OF cheating
children to an enormous and alarming extent
In the city of New York last year there in the
public schools 997 out of every 200 children
their number had dwndled to 600; and when they
fifteen only 348 of them in school, New York
is but sample of other large cities and their treatment
of children Figures show that, while the public school
system is constructed rule the theory that each
child shall receive eight years of schooling order to
equip it for the work of life less than half the children
get the benefits of the program mapped out. This
means that owing to several causes, only small per-
Centage OF children complete the studies intended
for them. Added to this the difficulty of students
being retarded in their work. whether this be due to bad
health rregularty of attendance For much of this
rregularty of attendance the parents responsible
Those who have not carefully studied the situation in
schools have little idea of the far reaching effects
of this irregular attendance, this habit of allowing chill
dren to be absent from the SChoooom for days. weeks
and months at time. We likely to that if

Striking Similarity to Evidence

Grafton Of Miners, today.
In both cases the evidence was
worked up by private detectives,
according to the Western Federation
officials, the Meyer case by Pinker-
ton agents and the Mcnamara case by
Burns men.
In both cases there was an alleged
accomplice. ~
pointed out that after Meyer and the
others had been arrested a lead bomb,
fitted as Orchard had said his were
fitted, was found in the Occur D'Alene
district and turned up in San Fran
cisco where he said he had pulled"
off q job. Dynamite was found in
George Petitioners store and at other
places where Orchard was saidto have
hidden it after it had been given him
by Pettibone. The discovery of the
explosive was made by P inkertons.

THAT CHARGES ARE TRITF,

Washington, April 24-Setting forth
the attitude of the American Fedora
ton of Labor in connection with the
arrests of officials of the Iron Workers
Union for alleged completely in the
dynamiting Of the Los Angeles Times
building, Frank Morrison, today, wrote
the following for the United Press:
By Frank Morrison, Secretary of the
American Federation of Labor.o
1t will take more evidence than I
have read in today's dispatches, which
contain the statements Of detectives,
to convince me that j. j, Mcnamara,
secretary-treasury of the Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers Union, had
any connection whatsoever with the
Los Angeles Times catastrophe or the
destruction of property of any kind
Surely the evidence the detectives
assert they have secured cannot be
injured by Mcnamara being accorded
a hearing. represented by counsel, be-
fore being taken out of the State and
away from his family and friends. If
they have the evidence they could
follow the usual procedure and have
no difficulty in satisfying the officers
of the State, after a hearing, that re-
QUESTION papers should be granted.
