Neptune's Trial
a Grand Success.

Rockland, Me. July 26.-Excelling by
far the contract requirements. the ma
val collier Neptune completed her
standardization trials today with the
verdict from the official trial board
that the reduction gear applied to her
turbine engine. the first time it has
ever been used in naval construction.
is a success. The particular object of
the reduction gear is to conserve fuel
and water supplies when the vessel
is running at moderate speed. for
which she is designed. The waste of
fuel and water on such vessels
equipped with turbine engines has long
been a fact operating against the use
of turbines.
The Neptune today attained max
mum speed for one mile of 15.4S4
knots. and averaged for five top speed
runs 1854 knots. Her sister ship. the
C,ycIops. made only 1925 knots for high
speed on a similar trial The Neptune
generated Sill maximum horsepower

ShipbuiIding in China.

construction Of four warships at about
100000 taels. The arsenal, under

cages principally in the manufacture
of arms. Although it has equipment
for shipbuilding, 1t has not turned
out any warships in the history Of its
existence for the last twenty-odd
years. its experience so far having
only consisted in putting together
gunboats that wer built in foreign
countries.
Again. at the Mamel dockyard at
Fukien one gunboat was constructed
in 1899 and another in the following
year, which were completed In 1902.
But they were small ships, each hav-

French people, this is the first time
that China has ever attempted to
build her own waTships at her own
dockyard.

Philosophy Of the Unsuccessful.

We are perhaps too prone to get
our ideas and standards of worth from
the successful, without rejecting that
the interpretations Of life which pa.
triotic legend, copy-book philosophy,
and the sayings Of the wealthy give
US, are pitifully inadequate for those
Who fall behind in the race. Surely
there are enough people to whom the
task of making a decent living and
maintaining themselves and their fam
lilies in their social class, or OF win
ming and keeping the respect Of their
fellows. is hard and bitter task, to
make philosophy gained through per
sonal disability and failure as just and
true method OF appraising the life
around US as the cheap optimism Of
the ordinary professional man. And
certainly a kindlier, for it has nc
shade Of contempt or disparagement
about it.--Atlantic.

GOING DOWN.

The downward trend of prices will
not be altogether q blessing, say
the Hutchinson News. OF course, II
was what the people wanted and the
way they voted. A revision OF the
tariff downward is the way to gel
lower prices, not SO much in the arti
cles on the tariff schedules, but or
the prices that are affected by the
demand for labor and the ability Of
the people to buy. The Democrats
won their control of congress on the
argument that flour and meat were
too high, and they will probably
make good on their promise to re-
duce the price Of wheat and cattle
and hogs. They will also reduce the
wages of wOrkmen and the profits
of capital. We are surely in for q
depression of prices that will make
the cost of living lower, even If II
is by cutting the high prices OF farm
products and the wages drawn by
mechanics and laboring men.
We don't think this is a good
thing, but just now we are in 9
minority. We had the fool idea that
prosperity was just what was wanted
and that IL prices were high the abil'
ity to pay was also good. For this
reason we have been called a Stand
patter" not wanting to throw away
business activity and profitable in
dustry just because wheat was a
dollar a bushel and cattle and hogs
worth more than imported delicates'
sen. The downcomers beat the
stand-patters and the prices started
downward at once.
Fortunately the people in this sec
ton are fairly well fixed for a de-
preston. The country was never
better able to stand Democratic
victory than it was in 1910. A re
vision Of the tariff in the direction
Of free trade will take some of the
hide off but before the injury growi
serious the people will feel their fee
slipping and climb back onto thu
platform of high prices, good wage'
and prosperity. And when they ge
there they will stand pat another tel
years, or until they forget Just VIA

THE BROWN.EYED GIRL.

The final American type is emerg-
ing from "the melting pot of races
according to Professor Blackmar OF
the University of Kansas.
What, then, is the typical Ameri-
can girl? asks Henry Allen.
She Is neither blonde nor brunette.
Her skin is lighter than olive, yet
not too white and rosy" Brown
eyes and hair. A little over five feet
tall, agile, robust, of medium height,
not exactly slender, but certainly
not too stocky-she's a peach!
What of the typical male Ameri-
can?
Something like your conventional
Uncle Sam-tall and slender, but
athletic in appearance. "He will be
serious in demeanor and of firm set
jaw" And yet without a doubt that
brown-eyed, brown-haired girl will
wind him around her finger.

FOURTEEN YEARS FROM NOW.

Here is some history and philoso-
ply by w. Y. Morgan: Fourteen
years ago the editor Of The News
went to Emporia to attend a street
show given under the management
of Will White, and the biggest at
tration was an automobile which one
of his eastern friends had brought to
the "Empory" show. We had never
seen one before and in fact 1t was
probably the first "horseless car
rage" in the state. 1t started and
stopped and ran awhile and stood
awhile, SO that although 1t demon
strated there was such a thing, 1t
gave little promise for the future.
Out of respect to the town and to
Bill we refrained from expressing our
real opinion that the blamed thing
would never work. Now the state
of Kansas is full Of automobiles and
their practical use is an every day
event. ~
That was only fourteen years ago
and we hesitate to predict on the
next fourteen as to the airship. The
monoplane which clrcled for miles
and a thousand feet in the air yes
terday is much more promising for
practical aerial navigation that was
Bill Whites automobile fourteen
years ago. The secret of riding a
gasoline machine in the air has been
learned and thousands Of experts are
pushing the field Of knowledge fur
Their every day. We are no prophet,
but we have q bunch that about four
teen years from now the farmers OF
-ansas will be riding in their air
ships to the state fair at Hutchin-
son.

PERMANENT INCOMES.

The movements having for their
object legislation providing a perma-
nent income for the universities OF
Kansas and Missouri respectively
must deeply interest not only the
alumni Of these institutions but the
citizens of the two states. It is
peculiarly gratifying that there are
growing up almost side by side two
such splendid schools as the state
universities at Columbia and Law
renee, but the real wonder is that
they have attained such proportions
and effectiveness under the condl-
tions that have prevailed for years,
Other states learned long ago that
the only safe and business-like solu-
ton of the problem Of a state uni
versity is to have permanent IN
come with reasonably certain min
imum which can be depended upon
and made the basis OF plans Wnlcn
are absolutely impossible under the
system of biennial passing OF the
hat at the meetings of the state leg
islatures.
Still other states cling to the old
system and have not adopted the
business system, but Missouri and
Kansas must learn the lesson sooner
or later and the sooner the better.
Until there is permanency of income
these great institutions will struggle
along In spite of existing conditions,
but there will be a deplorable waste
of opportunity. The business man
who would conduct his personal al
fairs on any such system as that
applied to the development OF the
h issouri and Kansas universities
would be laughed at. There are,
however, encouraging evidences that
q change OF attitude on the part of
the public spirited citizens Of the
two states Is coming about, and an
energetic campaign on the part OF
tire alumni of the two institutions
will result in the adoption of meas
ures that will insure the unhampered
growth of the universities which are
the keystones Of the educational sys-
tens of the two states.-Kansas City
Journal.
