Admiral Yashiro's Remark.

international propriety, and it is to be ex-
pected that unless lie specifically dis

Inander Sims OF the American navy has
just been reprimanded by the President
for indulgence in an iIdiscreet expression
in q speech at London. Naval officers are
supposed to bear themselves diplomatic

representatives Of foreign governments,
and sometimes in circumstances that are
calculated to lead to a certain laAity OF
speech. 1t Is a tribute TO the good taste
and discretion of these floating repre-
sentatives OF the powers that they make
so few mistakes. In most cases their
unwixe remarks are only technical blum
ders, tactless declarations OF friendship
That may possibly give offense To the
supersensitiye or arouse suspicion in the
minds Of those who are always seeking d
sinister aspect in every situation. Natu-

Back to Earth.

A sage on all things earthly turned
A mournful gaze;
Said he, THE coal will all be burned
One Of these days.
The tropics will freeze up some fall,
Or else a comet big will call
And smash us into atoms small,
One Of these days.
He trudged along in gloomy thought
Through busy ways.
The motorman cried, You'll get caught
One Of these days."
Then he was hit by No. 5.
They said. perhaps you will contrive
When crossing streets to look alive,
One of these days."
Adversely will often bring
Much cause for praise.
Says he. They'll cure this broken VIM
One Of these days.
No cosmic sorrow does he shout.
His future seems all free from doubt,
He grins and says, "I'll be about
One Of these days"

ate. Mr.. Swanson has served In the
House, and the reputation he made In
that body secured his promotion to the
governorship Of Virginia. And his serv-
ice at Richmond as governor secured
his appointment to the Senate. He wants
the people to ratify that appointment at
the polls.
Mr.. Jones has been in the House contin-
uousy for twenty years. He is the rank
ing member of the minority on the COM
mttee on insular affairs, and holds the
same position on the committee on pri-
waite land claims. Mr.. Glass has been In
the House continuously for ten years,
and is second on the minority side OF
the committee on banking and currency.

therefore, the Old Dominion will have

have ever felt in the House.

The John Paul Jones CrYpt.

The passage by the Senate yesterday
OF the bill to provide an appropriate
resting place at Annapolis for the re-
mains of John Paul Jones, the naval hero
Of the revolution. should be promptly
followed by similar action by the Housc.
The United States government can do
no less than to appropriate a liberal
sum for the establishment at Annapolis
OF the man whose exploits at sea did
much to establish the new American
commonwealth a fitting entombment.
John Paul Jones died in virtual poverty
as result of the neglect of the new re-
public. which failed to appreciate his
services at their full value, and allowed
him to die in q foreign country. for
lorn and friendless. Through the pa
triotic enterprise Of Gen. Horace Porter,
then ambassador OF the United States at
Paris, the grave OF the sailor hero was
discovered in Paris, and at mis- own ex-
pcnse the remains were exhumed and
brought to this country, and after some
ceremony were placed at Annapolis in
a manner that might easily become per-
manent, owing to the tendency to allow
OF the Society Of the Sons of the Ameri-
can Revolution that through the efforts
Of that organization, with the co-opera-
ton of Gen. Porter, the necessary legis-
lation has been thus far advanced. Gen.
Porter has generously proposed to allow
his contribution of 5000. expended IN
the discovery and return of Jones body
to the United States, to form part Of
fund for the provision Of an appropri-
ate crypt at the Naval Academy, his
gift to the nation being about one-fourth
of the total amount now proposed to pc
expended. The Senate has passed the
measure in these terms, and 1t is to be
expected that the House will be no less
liberal and patriotic and agree to an ap-
proportion Of 100000 of additional fed
eral money to accompany the amount
which it was once proposed to repay to
Gen. Porter. The entombment Of John
Paul Jones at Annapolis is eminently ap-
propriate. and the crypt provided by the
contemplated appropriation will cause
the last resting place Of this significant
naval figure to become an inspiring
shrine.

From the Baltimore sun.
Gov. Crothers is entirely right in adj
yocating an amendment TO the corrupt
practices act which will prohibit the en-
ployment of runners and messengers on
election day and the hiring of vehicles to
carry voters to the polls. This employ
ment is simply form OF bribery. 1t may

lions from party men and those who are
expecting favors from the party bring q

tion to corruption. In the past money has
figured too largely in Maryland elections

The South and 1912.

No more is heard in democratic circles
about a southern man for President or
Vice President. but in republican circles
It il now suggested that in 1912 Mr.. Taft
should have an associate on the national
ticket from that section. This is based
upon the assertion that in national mat
tiers the south leans strongly to repub-
lican policies. and that personally Mr..
Taft Is very popular down there. Give
him the right sort Of yokefellow. and
half a dozen southern states will support
the ticket.
Internationally. the south likes the re-
publican national policies. She should.
With the rest OF the country, she has
prohted from protection and sound money.
and has high business expectations from

ised she will not only get her share of It,.
but become through that and other meaIrs
prosperous beyond any point in her preri-
GUS history.
But the south reasons about these things
i'm this way: That while, in present-day
calculations, they are republican, they do
rot now depend upon that party for con-
tinuation. The south will help see to 1t
that protection is not overthrow Sound
money is not now menaced. Even Mr.
Bryan has ceased to talk about free sill
yer coinage. And the Panama canal is
OF course certain OF completion, no mat
ter what changes may take place in our
politics.
Unquestionably, Mr.. Taft Is personally
popular in the south. as everywhere else
lie should pe. He has the address which
the south edmires. and il number OF
his appointments to Office has favored the
opposition party. But. SO far, that has
not secured for his party any southern
votes. Predictions about revolutions in
this state ana that have all gone astray.
North Car pima was the state picked for
republican triumph last November. but.
instead. the democrats polled the largest
majority in years. Next year they will
probably set the pegs higher.
Present indications point to the renomi-
nation Of Taft with some one upon whom
New York can agree as his running mate.

How the Maine Went Down.

From the New York Sun.
Although the hull of the battleship
Maine still remains in the mud of Ha-
vana harbor and some time must elapse
before the wreck can be raised and placed
in position for scrutiny by engineers and
constructors, the discovery has already
been made by those not officially con-
nected with the work that the explosion
that destroyed the Maine was internal
In the meanwhile unofficial opinions de-
duced from fragmentary items of news
that come up from the harbor mud will
have no weight with those who know the
personnel of the original naval court and
how painstaking it's inquiry was 1t is 10
be noted that Admiral Chadwick. a sur
viving member Of the court, entertains no
doubt Of the correctness of the findings
although he has always advocated the
raising of the Maine to obtain proof OF
the cause OF the disaster that will satisfy
the whole world.
