practice throughout the ileet, crysta-
lized all that was good into the first
experimental. approximate drill regu-
lations and instructions for our new
ship An guns and ships were put on
a competitive basis. The result To be
achieved was definitely stated; Two
hits per gun per minute
Now, with this approximate stand
ardized drill, Il became necessary for
the battery officers To train their sun
crews individually and collectively
Each man was studied both as 10 his
mental and physical fitness. II the
man gave promise of being able 10 do
well the thing for which he was Sc
lected. a course of thorough, detailed
instructions and drill was given 10
him. Finally, when the man did each
and every thing required of him with
accuracy and confidence. there began
"A process of Systematically increasing
the speed. EACH motion was timed by
the stop watch. records of time were
kept, and the man began TO feel like a
sprinter.
when all turret and gun crews have
been thoroughly trained, each man as
a unit. and each crew as team. SO
that each human element has i'm real
ity become perfect fitting cog i'm a
gear train, the ship is ready for Gle
mentary target practice. Prizes, both
for the individual ship and for the
Navy are offered for the best gun of
each calibre. If the score made by q

amendment and the other that he will
sign no bin revising the tariff in 9TH
er particulars until reports have been
made by the tariff board. IL took the
country a long time 10 learn that the
smiling Taft was not a jellyhsh and
could not be moved from a position
once he had taken his stand. The
hopes of the insurgents that they can
amend the reciprocity bin with the
farmers free list and the wooden bill,
or otherwise. in such a manner that
President Taft will, be forced" to sign
it might as well be abandoned. All
the great influence which leaders Ike
Aldrich and Cannon exercised in the
Sixty-first Congress was exerted in
vain to induce the president to yield
in his demands for the modest con
cessions he stipulated in the Aldrich-
Payne bill and all the power OF insur
gency will be hurled against him i'm
vain in an attempt TO make him sign
a tarin bin which he cannot approve
in the light of scientific knowledge.
The president inferentially already has
stated his position with respect to the
present chaotic situation and he need
say little on that score.
The fortunes of the Republican party
and, in great degree the prosperity Of
the country, are bound up with the
course which congress shall pursue in
the next few months. The adminlstra-
tion has no spokesman at the Capitol
and the president in commanding six
~ out Of ninety unwilling votes for
Canadian reciprocity, has demonstrate
ed that he is his own best spokesman.
In the early months of his administra-
tion his public speeches and messages
fell on more or less unheedng ears
but the country now listens with Gag
erness for what the president has to
say. Leaders on both sides are needed
in the house and senate for the facile
transaction Of the business of con-
gress, but the real leadership needed
today. by the Republican party and the
country, must come from the president
of the United States.

RETURN VISIT BENEFICIAL.

Peninsula Development bureau OF the
Detroit Board Of Commences invita-
tion to visit Detroit. President McRae
Of the Board Of Commerce, said:
7 am more than pleased to hear
this news" he said, and l am sure
we viii prove to our visitors more
by action than by words that we
meant what we said when we invited
them to call on us. / am delighted to
find they are taking our cue to ad-
vance a more mutual acquaintance be-
tween the copper and iron country and
lower Michigan. We will find it a
source Of common benefit.
Much Detroit capital is invested in
the northern part Of the state and yet
Chicago and other port towns have
prohted more from that section. This
viii be a good step toward getting ia
miliar with each other and toward re-
alizing that We are all in the state Of
Michigan although considerable dist
ance does separate US. ! hope this
may work for restoration Of a more
friendly feeling between the City Of
the Straits and her northern sister
cities"

AM unalterably opposed to
the recall of judges. Under
such a system it is difficult
10 conceive of a lawyer of ability
and character being willing to ac-
cept a judgeship. The new elec-
ton is practically an IMPEACH-
MENT TRIAL, not conducted in
an orderly manner before judi
cial body, where the rights of the
official may be safeguarded.
1t Is a trial before the people,
who will attempt to pass upon a
judges conduct perhaps in a case
where he may have rendered a
JUST but UNPOPULAR dc
cision.
A moro INTOLERABLE ju-
dicial system cannot be imagined.
1t is subvcrsive of every principle
of a government of laws. If a
judges ruling should become un-
popular his continuance as a judge
may be submitted to an election
for recall in which the reason for
his recall is to be stated in two
hundred words, and his defense is
to be equally brief,
Learning, industry and a sense
Of justice are great attributes of
the judicial office, but the greatest
qualities in a Judge arc courage,
independence and FEARLESS
NESS. These qualities would be
destroyed under such a system.

beginning OF q policy which | have long
favored viz. change Of tariff con-
ditions In conformity with the well un-
derstood theory Of protection. The it.
ems In this measure are clearly under
stood. We know what the cost Of
production Is here and in Canada As
fast as the facts can be obtained the
tariff schedules should be revised and
a scientific system Of duties estab-
lished. 1 want the wool. cotton, steel
and other schedules revised II de-

ANENT THE NEW SENATE.
Changes Time Has Wrought in the
Upper House.

The old Senate was composed of
amiable gentlemen who found that the
badge of Senatorial distinction graft
fyingly comported with their notions
of personal dignity. II was a nice
thing to be a Senator.
Under the old regime. gentlemen
with political ambitious fought to get
into the Senate.
Under the new. the people fight to
put men into the Senate.
Under the old regime. attainment
of a Senatorial seat was the gratilica-
tion OF ambition.
Under the new, II is merely the
achievement Of an opportunity to graf
ify ambition.
Distinction was the inspiration and
motive with which men used To seek
the toga.
Service is the inspiration which to-
day moves men To seek the opportun-
ity of Senatorial usefulness.-M

By Senator BOURNE

"ITH deep regret l have
N read reports of criti-
cisms made by several
prominent persons against the re-
call as applicable to Judicial oili-
GERS. They fear that if judges are
made subject to recall they will
lose their INDEPENDENCE
and permit their opinions and Off
cial actions to be influenced by
their POLITICAL INTERESTS.
If that is true then judges
NOW permit their decisions and
official actions to be influenced by
desire for denomination, re-elec-
ton or promotion. If a judge
will permit his Official actions to be
INFLUENCED by fear of the re-
call he ALREADY permits his
actions to be influenced bg fear of
tho political boss and lis hacker,
the campaign contributor.
In Oregon, where the recall is
in practical operation and where
| it applies to judges as we'll as to
other elective officers, there has
not been a SINGLE SUGGES.

has there been any effort to recall

MORE COTTON NEEDED.

At the annual convention in Rich
mond the president of the American
Cotton Manufacturers association
called attention anew to the need of
planting more cotton than had been
done up To this time. The south. he
declared, "is i'm more danger of losing
it's supremacy by short crops, abnor-
mally high prices and manipulated
markets than it would be with large
crops at steady and remunerative pri-
ces," Unquestionably this is correct.
Short crops here and high prices in
crease the efforts Of every European
manufacturing country to find sources
OF supply elsewhere This accounts
for the efforts which are being made
by England. Germany and France to
grow cotton in their tropical posses
sions.
The United States produces about
two-thirds Of the entire cotton crop of
the world, but the production is stead
iIy decreasing. A dozen years ago our
proportion was three-fourths. while
population increases cotton production
remains stationary. The crop Of 1904,
13,G97,OOO bales, is larger than the out
put in any year since then. although
the country's population has grown to
the extent Of 100000 in the interval
The American gamblers prefer small
crops. They are easier to corner
Small crops mean high prices for the
manufactures. This pleases the gam
bier. but it harms the consumer, who
is the person who always pays the
freight.
The acreage planted in cotton in
1911 would indicate. If weather con-
ditions turn out to be reasonably ia
vorable. a crop closely approaching
that Of 1904. The country needs a
much larger yield, however. There
are more backs to clothe now than
there were seven years ago Europe's
mills would buy more Of us than they
did then, II they could get IT, A crop
of 100000 bales this year would find
. ready market at a fair price. BY
attempting to keep abreast of the
worlds needs the southern states can
retain much Of their old time monop-
oily in cotton growing. Large crops
mean steady prices. in which the bulk
Of the money would go into the pock-
etc of the producers, and not into those
Of the plungers. Cornered markets
benefit the cornerers only. The plant
ers usually get little OF the increased
rewards from prices which are artifi-
cially advanced. Good advice to the
planters was given by the president OF
the Cotton Manufacturers association
They should plant more cotton.
