"KEYNOTING" IS fAVONTE PURSUIT NOW Of ALL
THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES; TAFT in LEAD

1908 have been lived I'D to. The
President analysed the differences be-
tween the Democratic and Republican
. planks on the tariff and expressed a
! willingness that the people shall have
all possible information as to the at
. titude of the parties. before going into
election booths in. November.
Tariff Revision. s."
The President firmly believes the
Republican doctrine OF tariff revision
after careful investigation of tariff
schedules and conditions in this coun-
try and abroad is acceptable to the
vast majority OF those who under
stand the intricacies of customs taxa
ton.
He intimated that If the people pre-
fer to try the Democratic theories
they may prepare for periods of bus
mess disturbance and distrust until
the manufacturer and business man
ascertain what action the Democrats
will take. This would mean, he
sought to demonstrate, loss Of en-
ployment to thousands of workingmen
pending the establishments that would
follow legislation for revision.
The work of the administration for
three and a half years was carefully
reviewed by the President, who hopes
the people may take an interest in
what has BEEN accomplished and
judge the administration not only by
its achievements in the past, but by
the promises that will be made for
the future.
Wilson Camping Out.
Governor Wilson abandoned his
own home and took up life at the res
idence of friend to be free from
visitors and Interruptions. He spent
nearly three days in rounding ont his
opinions. He will receive the Demo-
cratic notification committee Aug. Z.
In outlining his intentions the Gov
ernor would say nothing beyond this
sentence: Il expect to make the
speech as brief as | can although
breyity will not be my principal aim"
AS preliminary to his work Col.
Roosevelt performed a number of
strenuous turns, including a boat
rowing feat, and then settled down to
arranging the longest speech of his
career, which is going some. He
whipped it all together and then saw
a chance totmake some capital out of
the various reports submitted by the
Stanley committee that investigated
the Steel Trust He thereupon aided
another long chapter on, the control of

GREAT LAKES STATION ::::
] FOR TRAING MEN:O''::V ARSMEN

Comparatively few persons, it is
probable, are cognizant of the fact that
the United States maintains on an in
land water a place where men O. wars

Sans big navy, yet such in the case,
says the C. s. Monitor.
i The Great Lakes naval station, To-
Gated 80 miles from Chicago, is one
Ioe four places fthe kind. The Rhode
Island and Virginia establia hments
figure much more frequently in the
public print, and with the entrance of
the American nation as a dominant
factor in the Pacific, the San Francis
CO naval station also is mentioned
much 'oftner than was formerly the
case. AS for the Great Lakes station,
the government conceived the idea OF

navy. One of the means toward that
end has been the instituting series
Of special spectacular exhibition drills
tc be given on Wednesday OF each
week through the summer months.
and on June there was held the first
of these drills.
Need More Men For Navy. -.
Some idea of the Importance of haV-
ing an adequate number of men for
the ships when an exigency arises
was conveyed recently when the call
came to send American warsh1ps to
Cuba. The Brooklyn navy yard was
almost stripped Of marines. There
were so few men left that the COM
m&ndant's office at the navy yard was
without it's regular sentry. But 1t
takes considerable training before 2
recruit is fit for actual service. And
il was for the purpose OF encouragln'
enlistment that the Illinois special
drills were added to the regular tram
ing in the hope that more youths
would come to see the attractlVeness
of the life on the sea.
The special Wednesday afternoon
eH hibitions take place on the srano
parade grouds ct 4 o'clock and con
tiEue two hours. More than 1000
naval recruits in white uniforms parti
cipate in them and the regular Ian"
of the station furnishes the martla'
music. The signal drill especially is
interesting and attractive. In the
drill the gaily colored flags are drawn
at a signal from the leggings of tn"
sailors and IS they &C through tn'
various movements they call out the
signals in unison. The drills under
arms include marching and counter
marching and the selections from the
me- nual of arms.
Particular interest attaches to tbs
boat drills. which show how beat l0

now and then there is heard the toa'

lakes naval training station sprang in
to being largely as result of the war
with Spain. Rear Admiral Ross,
Known as the father of the station.
took possession of the establishment
il the summer of 1905. He and his
naval associates had come to the con-
clusion that the American sailor of
the seacoast was no longer all-suli-
cient, and that the Great lakes would
have to solve this feature Of the naval
problem.
Training Of Recruits.
The Great lakes station is capable
OF accommodating $500 men. me
moment a recruit is received he goes
on probation to the reception bar
70 cks, where he remainE for 81 days.
The apprentice seaman is sent later
to the main barracks, and then his
work and instruction begin. He is
taught the care of clothing, blankets
and equipment and how to swim, and
after he understands thoroughly what
is expected of him the Young recruit
is,ready for the drill hall. MeanWhiI"
the government has given the new ar
rival a SIS outfit Of clothing and the
clothes he wore when he reached the
training station are packed up and
sent home.
Undoubtedly the part of the train,
ing that most of the Young recruits
look forward to with the greatest an
ticipation is the assignment to the
one or other men-Of-war on which
they may enter upon some extended
ocean cruise. Before this takes
place, however, the young men have
to be taught how to tie knots. splice
ropes, make bitches and bOwlines and
coil down gear. Having also been as
signed to a battalion, the apprentice
seaman is initiated in the handling Of
a semaphOre-that is, signaling with
arms-and the "Wig-Wag method,
which is signaling with flags. He is
likewise made acquainted with the
rifle and target practice.
There are 80 buildings included in
the Great Lakes naval training sta
ton. The administration building is
a handsome structure, with tail
tower. This building stands at the
head of the parade grounds, facing

A pretty program was framed up

! Picturesque Surroundings.
Eack of the administration building
are the officers quarters, in every re
spect modern houses, complete and
fitted up by the government. In the
center stands the commandments res,
idence, facing the lake, and as the
grounds extend into the ravine the
picturesqueness of the quarters is
marked There are plans under way
for making the natural beauties OF
the ravine and the patches of wild
wood on either side into one of the
most attractive spots of the north
shore of Lake Michigan. From the
eminence occupied by the training
station Lake Michigan itself appears
in all the attractiveness that has
made this inland water famed for
other things beside commerce.
AS the special drills take hold on
the public fancy and the Wednesday
events draw thousands to the naval
station parade grounds, the inland
seamen, now making ready for ser
vice on the one or the. other ship, will
loom no less important than their fell
low seamen of either the Atlantic or
the Pacific Coast stations. Without
men, the country may add one dread
nought to another and not materially
increase its naval strength. And as
the time is still distant when the
United States is likely to fall behind
in naval equipment, there is much to
be said for an institution that, like
the Lake Michigan training station,
looks to the perfecting of young men
for service in defense, if need De, Of
the stars and stripes.
A problem that concerns the navy
department not little is how to keep
the men from leaving the service
after their first term of enlistment
expires. Rear Admiral Dillingham;
has been a strong advocate Of the
country doing its very best for the
benefit of the men in naval service.
Last year it was estimated that about
IS per cent of the men in the navy
we're on their first enlistment, Is per
cent on their second, and only about
four per cent on their third. Point
ing to these figures, naval experts
claim that as yet the American navy
is hardly anything more than a navy
for the training of green hands. This
may be regarded as a rather strong
statement, but if it is fact that not
enough men remain in the service,
then it is also fact that preliminary
training. including the handling of re-
cruits in an intelligent manner must
go far toward reconciling those en-
tering the naval service Of the nation
with vocation that essentially
brings out the manly qualities OF
those who thus go down to the sea
in ships.

THE MONEY STAYS AT HOME.

Every agreement made in favor of the postal
savings bank has been indicated. The report by
the postofice department Of the last three months
business viii afford special qualification to those
who advocated this new government function
during the years 1t was under discussion
The report shows that less money is being sent
abroad than formerly and the reasonable assump-
ton that the postal savings banks are bringing
about the change it predicted they would eff
feet when once they should be in full operation
The foregn-born element Of the population has
always made practice of sending large sums of
money back home to the *old country for in
vestment or deposit; but it appears that these
thrifty people are now using the postal savings
banks and insofar they do the money they
earn and remains here The advantage to
the United States is obvious, and at the rate
deposits are accommodating it is not at all unlikely
that another predicted benefit Of the postal saw
ings system may be realized
The argument made before the Inaugural

money would be gathered in to be of material as
slstanee to the government in meeting the enor.

ridiculed by many but those who said that at

The government OF France has long bene-
flied by the distribution of bonds in small denom-
nations among the French people, and that the

Meantime, the savings banks seem to have
