BATTLE CRUISER MOLTkE IS
 PRIDE OF THE KAISER'S NAVY

Thousands of Standardization will visit New York this week to see the great battle cruiser Moltke, the pride of the navy of the Fatherland, visiting America. At present the Moltke is in class by itself, except for the British ship Lion. of the same class Before long, however, both European vessels will be eclipsed in size by the warships of three, Ameri- can nations-the United States, Brazil and Argentina.
 never before seen in American waters. With the possible exception of the British Lion, the Moltke is the speed fest big war craft afloat. She was authorized in the spring of 1908 and laid down at Hamburg in the autumn monies marked her launching in April of 1910. Tn the fall of 1911 she was completed and placed in commission, at a: total cost of $10, ,491 900. The Moltke has displacement of 22,632 tons, and length of 610 feet, with ninety-six feetfand nine inches beam, and is larger than any of the Ameri- can dreadnaughts. She is fitted with Parsons turbines, and made a maxi mum speed of a little over twenty nine knots on two runs over a meas ured mile at 325 revolutions. Her side armor is about ten inches thick which is somewhat light The bat calfbre rifles, twelve 6-inch 45-calibre rifles, sixteen 3-12 inch 4O-caMbre rifles, and four submerged torpedo tubes
 The British battleship cruiser Lion, which is the only vessel now afoat to be compared with the Moltke, was displacement of 26,350 tons. Her bat tery includes eight 13.5 inch gums, while the main battery of the Moltke is of 11-inch rifles. In the matter of guns, the new ships now building for the United States and Brazil will teries of 4-inch rifles. The Lion, on her official trial, made a speed of 29.7 knots, sighting better than that of the Moltke.
 Of war vessels now in course of con- struction, Brazil has the Rio, building in England, with a tonnage of 30,300. Germany comes next with five sea monsters of 2 900 tons. England has four vessels of 23.00O tons under way. None of these, however, except the Rio, compare in size with the Moreno and Rivadavia, which will fly the Ar genuine flag, and will each have a dis placement of 3o,2o0 tons. Both of these are now almost ready to be placed in commission.
 A year ago today. on June 10, 1911, the Italian government took a census and the results are now being an- nounced. Tn the matter of population Italy has gained 6.81 per cent in the last ten years. The subjects of the King of italy now number 34, ,6o6 65s One interesting fact is that Italians who emigrate to North and South America usually return to their native land after acquiring a competence. The exact figures are not yet available, but data at hand indicates that a dna- jority of the sons of Italy do not re- main in the country of their adop- ton Ntf1

SANE JULY FOURTH

John Adams is to blame flor get ting Fourth of July celebrations start- ed on the wrong track. A century and quarter ago he wrote that the day twill be celebrated by succeed- iSg generations as the great anniver- sary festival. !. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other" He certainly prophesied we'll, but the public put so much emphasis up- on the @guns" and 'tbonfires',s as fea- lures Of the anniversary that the celebration of this great American holiday soon degenerated into what has been fittingly termed "The Bar barous Fourth Yankee ingenuity developed all sorts of noise producing devices till the Fourth soon became a. time Aof unrestrained dissipation on the part of small boys with fire-

After leaving college he trav- elled extensively, touring America as far West as the Pacific and also vis- ited the interior of China and India, and many other lands. In 1896 the London Times commissioned him it's correspondent in Rhodesia and he cov- cred the Matabele war. He has also been a war correspondent in Egypt.
 Besides studying American road methods and automobile factories. Lord Montagu has been looking into the systems used in the big American life insurance offices. He has also a financial mission, as the representative of a $10O0O, ,0O0 syndicate of British capitalists dnterested in the hydros electric developments along the Mis- sissippi. and one of the principal pur- poses of his American tour was to inspect the great dam at Keokuk, Ia., where electricity will be made by wa ter power instead of coal
 Lord Montagu is handsome. tan- ned, strongly built man, typical English sportsman, andsis equally at home in a drawing room or an Afri- can jungle. But it is at the wheel of a speedy motor car that he really lives and enjoys existence to the ut> most.

 Rooseveft's recent acquisition of his attaefnent to progressive legislation is shown by MT. Bryan. in an inter view which the Democratic leader has recently given.
 MT. Roosevelt first said that he favored the popular election of United States senators about two years ago. The reform has been sn agitation more than twenty years. He became ain advocate of the income tax during his second administration. Progressives have advocated that tax for 50 years. MT. Roosevelt came around to the initiative and refer endum a few weeks before he an- nounced his present candidacy. He had previously been the open enemy of these measures. His devotion to direct primaries was acquired just prior to the state primary in New York, and he was not even at this time very warm in his advocacy of sound direct primary law
 Mir Roosevelt seems, in short, to be progressive less from conviction than from a practical belief that the people are progressive and that more votes are to be had through pro- gressive policies.

LAW AND ECONOMIC EVIL

The New York Times, one of the most reactionary of American news- papers, and consistent enemy. Of political progress, has printed a long editorial in which it seeks to show that measures for facilitating the ex pression of the public will cannot i'm . prove business, or increase the pros perity of the community.
 THe main and foolish contention of The Times is that there is no rela- ton between political and economic his. and that economic wrongs can- not be remedied by laws.
 It says in shady language:
 If we had all the political
 remedies in the world bal
 ance sheets would remain as
 stubborn as now. Men would zs0 natfgst mnnsU wages than they ~ssf earned. It would be no rnere
 possible both to raise wages
 and reduce prices then than
 now
 To such ghostly opposition are the enemies of democracy reduced. All the economies of a nation are prac- ticed that men may live To live, men must eat, be clothed and warm

The Connecticut Company and the trolleymen in it's employ have reach ed an agreement regarding wages and working conditions which will hold until 1914, when a further lib- eral increase is promised. All Con necticut cities are included in the tentative agreement. except the city of New Haven. The New Haven men have been in the habit of receiving more pay than the men employed on other parts of the system and did not desire to come into the arrangement. The agreement will be a source of satisfaction to everybody, including the public. A street railway strike is a cause of discomfort to nearly ev- eryone.

His Lordship did not invent motor cars, it is true, but he was one of the very first in Eng land to own and run one, and he is a walking-motoring, mean-ency- clopedia of information on spark plugs, carbureters, gears, brakes.

This board has an annual income of $5,OO0, ,000 a year, raised through a special tax on automobile owners. The plan of the board is based on that used by Andrew Carnegie in giving away libraries. It gives a certain sum toward building and improving highways on the condition that the locality to be screfitted raises the rmainder and agrees to keep the. road in repair. This cooperation has worked we'll in England.

JAMES M'ALEER, AT TODAY
 ONCE CLASSY BALL PLAYER

James R. McAleer, who retired from
 the management of the Waslainrton
 Senators last winter to become part owner of the Boston club in the Am
 erican league, is today receiving the congratulations of his host of friends on attaining his forty-seventh birth day In his playing days, when with Cleveland, then in the National league. McAleer was the classiest outfielder in the baseball ranks That he was not successful in pulling the Washing ton team out os the cellar it has oc- cupied since the founding of the Ann
 erican league was not due to lack of managerial ability, but to the jinks that has always lowered over the baseball field of the capital of the Republic. McAleer was born in Youngstown, O., June 10. 1865, and be- gan playing ball when he was about knee high to a gosling. His perform ance as an amateur marked him as a
 conner, and att the. age of twenty he broke into the professional ranks in the Southern league That was bad year for the game in Dixie and the circuit blew up, whereupon McAleer got a job with Milwaukee in the old Western association. In Brewerytown. the youngster from the Buckeye State immediately became a favorite, and the scouts of the National League were soon on the spot Cleveland got him and during the 1899 season Mcs Aleer did much to add to the baseball prestige of. his native State. Then followed the uprising in the ranks of the players, resulting in the forma- tion of tAe Brotherhood of Players League. McAleer joined forces with the Cleveland team of the new circuit in 1890, but after it's collapse return ed to the Cleveland National league club. He continued to play slash ing game until 1899, when he retired. With the organization of the Ameri- can league he. was appointed pilot of the Cleveland club, and ins single year constructed a strong aggregation
 out of rather indifferent raw material.

The period of waiting for definite developments may last a little longer. But the political uncertainties of the National Convshtions will be over this month. Recent developments have been more encouraging in this line; there is chance for a good as well as bad outcome. Meantime, holders of scurities do not get discouraged easily and back of the fluctuations of speculation is strong investment po- sition, supported by easy money. If natural conditions continue as encour- aging as they have been for some time, reactions are likely to be only temporary.

 The movement now seems to have gained sufficient headway to be car ried forward largely by its. own mo- mentum. There is no doubt that the "Barbarous Fourth" is a thing of the past
 Although the casualties and the fire losses on Independence Day have been enormous and appalling, there has been another kind of a loss that we can i'll afford ano which the New Fourth will do much to check. Ii is the loss of the opportunity that this great holiday offers for fixing in the minds of our boys and girls, and especially those who have recently come from foreign lands to make America their home. the significance of our institutions, the price paid for i cracy, and the responsibility and high privilege of American citizenship. 4 little review on these topics and a reminder Of these and other of our social and civic blessings will be good for all of us.
