GROWING DREADNoUGHTS.

While we were reviewing the great
est battle fleet that the world has ever
seen assembled in inland waters, and
one of the two or three most powerful
ever gathered anywhere, Great Britain
was launching the Iron Duke, her lat
est word in the development Of the all
big-gun or Dreadnought type. The In.
cident suggests a comparison OF the
newly laGnched ship with the original
Dreadnought, which is not yet obsolete,
and a review Of the successive steps Of
development which have been taken by
the British Admiralty In the seven
years which separate the two. In the
essential characteristics Of the Dread
nought type there has been no change
namely, all big guns Of uniform cali
bre, absence Of intermediate battery
and high speed. In almost every other
respect there has been advancement
toward higher efficiency.
The Dreadnought was Of 1900 tons,
carried ten Pinch guns and made %
knots. The next type, the Bellerophon,
carried 4-inch instead Of 12-pound
guns for anti-torpedo boat arms and
increased the weight Of armor within,
to guard against underwater explosion,
and her tonnage accordingly rose to
$4,000. The st. Vincent, year later,
increased the length Of the Pinch guns
from 40 to 80 calibres and the number
of finch guns from sixteen to twenty,

A SALUTARY TRIAL.

The Becker case will 60 to the jury
to-day, after sixteen days trial.
Four Of these sixteen were spent in
obtaining a jury, day or two having
been wasted while the defence was
exhausting its peremptory challenges
in order to establish a technical basis
for an appeal. This loss Of time was be-
yOnd the control Of Justice Con-. Dur
ing the rest Of the processes he has
seen to it that no time was wasted,
and he deserves the credit for prevent
ing this case from becoming such
spectacle as, for example, the first
Thaw trial. With weak Judge on the
bench it would have been turned into
the travesty upon orderly and effective
procedure that most Of our sensational
cases have been. But Justice Golf has
vigorously asserted the authority OF
the court and its control over what
went on before 1t. The courts cannot
bring back their own prestige more
surely than by exhibiting a capacity
like that Of Justice Golf to do their
work efficiently. The trouble with
them is not that they have ''usurped"
authority. They have allowed their
own authority to be usurped by dila-
tory and posturing counsel.
1t is to be hoped that II this case
ever goes up to the Court Of Appeals the
trial judges assertion Of his authority
will be fully sustained. This issue Is
only secondary in Importance to seeing
that justice is done to the murderers
Of Rosenthal. A vitalizing Of the
whole administration of criminal law
Is possible If judges may learn that 1t
is within their power to control trials
before them as Justice Golf has con-
trolled this one. We have wished that
our Judges were something more than
mere umpires before whom the legal
game was played. We have felt that
the country would be the gamer II
they were more like the vigorous
masters Of everything going on before
them that the English judges are. In
this Becker trial that ideal has not
been quite realized. But much has
been done toward removing a great
reproach from our courts.

with an increase Of tonnage to 1891.
The Neptune followed, with heavier
armor. with turrets In echelon instead
of abreast, with the fourth turret
raised so high as to fire over the
Others, with sixteen instead Of twenty
small guns. and with a tonnage or
1890. The Orion, Of this year, made
the radical change Of substituting l3.5-
inch for 12-inch guns, each weighing 10
instead Of So tons and throwing pro-
iectile of 1850 instead Of $50 pounds (;
with five turrets on the central line, the
second and fourth raised so as to fire
over the first and fifth; changes which
necessitated an increase Of tonnage to
22.6SO. Now comes the Iron Duke,
with main battery and turrets like
those of the Orion, but with an In
crease Of projectiles from 1,2j0 to 1,ioO
pounds each and with 6-inch instead or
4-inch guns for repelling the mosquito
fleet, the latter change being due to the
increased strength Of torpedo boats and
destroyers and not indicating n return
to the intermediate battery.
BY way Of comparison 1t is to be OBJ
served that our Wyoming and Arkan-
sas are of $4,000 tons, or little more
than the Iron Duke, and have twelve
Pinch instead Of ten 13.5inch guns,
and twenty-one 5-inch instead Of six
teen G-inch guns. 1t is reasonable
contention, therefore, that one Of ours
would be the equal Of the newest Brit
ish ship in fighting efficiency. 1t may
be added that the present British pro-
gramme will give to that country In
March, 1914, no fewer than twelve bat
tleships carrying 13.5-inch guns, while
Germany will not have one with larger
than Pinch guns. 1t remains to be
seen how many with 14-inch rifles will
carry the American flag.

SQUARING HIMSELF.

Colonel Henry Watterson's attempts
to explain away his structures on Gov
ernor Wilson just after the famous
Harvey Wilson Watterson estrangement
show more zeal than discretion. Colo
mel Watterson has a generous tempera-
ment, and his readiness to send a for
give-me-and-forge my manners" flag OF
truce to Trenton is natural under the
circumstances. But when a reconcilia-
ton is sought why dwell too reminis-
Gently upon regrettable particulars?
Why try TO square in too definite terms
the mellower Judgment of to-day with
the harsher Judgment Of eight months
ago?
In "The Louisville Courier-Journar'
Colonel Watterson recently paid a gal
liant tribute to Governor Wilson's "abil-
'dties and availability as a Presidential
candidate" Warming up TO the task
Of establishing a modus UiUoHdi, he re-
marked:
The defects IN Governor Wilson's per-
sonality which il 1.-The Courier-Jour-
.nal'l had detected, or thought II de-
tected, were not of kind 70 discredit
his relation 10 the public questions of
the time or TO bar the making Of sue
cessful administration Of the general
government on Democratic lines. .
His election by an overwhelming ma
jority IS certain; and II Is by no means
hard to conceive that the very qualities
which THE Courier Journal" contested
in his character may prove the making
Of his future in office, TO which the
strong hand rather than the warm
heart will be mainly required.
The amend made is handsome, II not
ingenious. It seems now that what the
Governor lacks is merely a warm
heart" and that such shortage might
stand him in good stead as President,
Last February, in replying TO the
charge that he had contradicted him
self to some extent in his various ap'
praisements Of Governor Wilson's in.
tellectual and moral equipment Colonel
Watterson said Of himself:
Having nothing 10 conceal. seeking
only to tell the truth, he uses the Ian
guage OF exactitude to describe an In
tellectual crook. He was looking for a
statesman. Light arrived and he found
a pedagogue. He hoped for q Tilden.
The screen fell and disclosed Eugene
Aram.
Colonel Watterson has done himself
good turn and the world OF letters a
service in discovering that the lack OF
"warm heart was Eugene Aram's
only trouble.

OPPOSED TO COERCION
James F. Morton, Jr., Would Not
Compel Foreigners to Salute Flag.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Such letters as that of tx. A."
In a recent issue betray an intolerance
unworthy OF citizenship in a free country.
Why should we display a tyrannous in
sistence on empty forms? A democracy
ought 10 be broad-minded enough and
large enough to go its ways without ref
erence to the dissatisfaction Of those who
cannot appreciate its ideals.
A public school has no right to demand
servile worship OF a mere ceremony
where the disposition Is wanting. II the
foreigner does not like our flag II is our
place to convince him that he is In error
by making that flag stand so palpably for
civilization that the most puEblind eye
cannot fail TO see its glory To snarl at
him because his honest convictions differ
from ours and TO prosecute his innocent
and immature child by denying 1t an
education Is contemplate llttleness. and
the very reverse OF enlightened patriot
ism.
How little OF true American TX A"
is appears from his demand that no
the people OF this country had not a right
to change any law which they have made
So intense a patriot as your correspond.

ciples OF religious liberty and the separa-

CHICANERY IN CALIFORNIA
Progressives Guilty of Fraud and
Corrupt Practices, Senator Says.

From The Argonaut, San Francisco.
Realizing the necessity. II he would avoid
being smirched personally by tho course Of
his Progressive partisans in California, Sen
ator Works has given out another statement
with respect TO recent political events in this
state 1t is worth attention, here and else
where, for Il embodies a singularly clear
presentment OF the several forms OF turpi-
tude involved in Roosevelt politics in this
community.
Senator Works first characterizes the Pro-
gressive policy as fraudulent. He points out
that under the lava law. by the way,
written on the statute books by the Pro.
gresslve party--the only way by which Roose'
welt as q Progressive could lawfully become
candidate was by petition. Having thus De"
fined the situation, Senator Works sets fortn
what was done:
I'm order 10 secure the right to vote at the
primaries not for Republicans. but for Pro-
gresslves. voters who were In fact Progress
sives and not Republicans were advised oy
Progressive newspapers 10. and presumably
did, register as Republicans and voted in the
Republican booth. The voters who were fo'
Roosevelt and his new party movement or
for Roosevelt without the new party ana
who were registered as Republicans were
guilty OF corrupt practices. Their registra'
ton affdavits were false and their votes eas'
in 4 Republican booth were fraudulent ana
illegal"
Senator Works next points out that tne
Progressives OF California are guilty OF cor
rupt practices on this point he says:
TT would do Progressive no good TO VOC
in a Republican booth unless he could Vo''
for Progressive candidates. Therefore IN
order to make this stupendous system o.
fraud effective. Progressive candidates mt"
In some way be placed on the Repuoiiesn
ballot, so that Progressives masqueradins "
Republicans might vote for them. This neoes
STATED additional corrupt and frauduieht
practices even more reprehensible than the
others. The law OF California requires 'ns'
a candidate for nomination at the priman's
must make AFFIDAVIT showing the party )"
which he belongs: that he intends 70 an'ha's
with that party. and that he will vote ts'
majority OF It's candidates" Il

HELPING MURPHY.

A good many persons have Joined the
new party on the theory that II is pet
ter than the old. Is it? 1t is not If its
voters are so saturated with the old
boss breeding partisanship that they
are to vote half votes for Tammany
and butcher genuine Progressives. II
is an amazing thing that men who say
that party labels do not count much
and that one should look beneath them
to substantials are countenancing nom
nations when they know that the only
effect of them is to aid Murphy.
throughout the state, with respect to
the legislative candidates that he has
named and expects TO control, Murphys
chief help Is the Progressive organiza-
ton. It is making his path easy Tor
him. The only way to make 1t rough
and prevent an atrocious state govern
ment is for the rank and file or the
Progressives, showing that they believe
what they preach, to take matters in
their own hands and vote for the best
real Progressive on any ticket VINO mas
a chance Of being elected.-The New
York Globe.
The Tribune quotes this because an
independent newspaper says 1t, ana
one, moreover, with strong leaning
toward Colonel Roosevelt 1t is not
Republican organ which is saying that
the chief aid to Murphy IN securing the
Legislature is the Progressive party
with its legislative candidates, but a
newspaper which looks with favor upon
the Progressive cause.
THE Globe" is right The whole
Progressive state ticket Is IN aid to
Murphy, but especially so are Its can
didates for the Assembly and the Sen
ate. Their only excuse for existence
is to round out the ticket on which
they stand and to please men Of local
prominence and enlist their support
Is there one who has chance of cleo
ton? If so, we have not yet heard Of
him. They will get only part Of the
votes which will be given to the head
of the ticket, whose strength is chiefly
personal. At the most they will only
take away enough votes from the Re-
publican candidates to throw districts
otherwise Republican into Murphy's
hands.
Their nomination is an injury to the
state. It is a disadvantage even to Mr..
Straus. as THE Globe" points out, for
if he is, by a miracle, elected he will
be worse off with Murphy Legislature
than with a Republican Legislature
A Progressive Legislature is utterly in
conceivable.

NEW DEAN FOR RUTGERS
Professor Louis Bevier Succeeds
Professor Van Dyck.

New Brunswick, n. j., Oct. 2.-Pro-
lessor Francis Cuyler Van Dyck has re-
signed the office OF dean, and Professor
Louis Bevier has been appointed his sue
cessor by the board OF trustees, 1t was an
nounced to-day.
DR.. Van Dyck became instructor at
Rutgers in 1866, almost Immediately after
his graduation, and is now the colleges
senior professor. He has been a pro-
fessor since 1870. The trustees in accept
ing his resignation as dean passed reso-
lutions expressing their high appreciation
Of his long. faithful and very efficient
service as dean. The college is to have
the continued service OF DR.. Van Dyck
In the department Of physics.
DR.. Beyier. who succeeds to the Office
OF dean. has been professor OF Greek for
many years. He began his work at Rut-
gers as instructor in French in 1883, five
years after his graduation.

The report that the Serv!ans VINO
are invading Western Turkey ind
themselves vigorously opposed by 49,
600 Albanian tribesmen is reminder
Of the pregnant fact that while those
puissant and resourceful mountaineers
have for generations been in chronic
revolt against Turkish misgovernment,
they are still more hostile toward any
outside interference and probably hate
the Servians a good deal more than
they do the Tribe OF Gilman. or
course, 1t will be little discourasing
to those who are rushing in to liberate
them from Turkish oppression to find
that they don't want TO be liberated,
but are ready to fight like fienGs incar-
nate for the support of their tyrants!

TAKING CHANCES.

Even some of he Democratic news
papers which are supporting Governor
Wilson because he Is the regular
Democratic nominee for President
realize that the country would be tax
ing chances in giving him control OIL
tbe national government. The Ne"
Orleans Picayune" gave expression Tie
other day to its apprehension lest
democratic success should check the
tide of prosperity which has now De-
gun to gather force. 1t SAID aIIer I"
review Of the situation:
Thus It is that there is little In the
political situation that promises any
early return TO prosperity. Ihere -
Great reason TO believe that Governor
Wilson will be our next President anu

1oIitical machine. All depends on no"

But the American people VIII elect
Governor Wilson and put ther uus'
in Providence for the balance.
II they elect Mr.. Wilson President
the voters will probably have TO ran
back on Providence all along the hne
Louisiana certainly will have immedl-
ate cause TO repent its part in restor-
inc the Democracy to full power at
Washington. The Democratic majority
in tho present House Of Representa-
tiyes passed bill putting sugar on the
free list. If Mr. Wilson is elected
President there will be a Democratic
Senate and the Democratic majority
in the House will be increased. Would
the Princeton orator Puff, who Is al
WAYS all things to all men, venture
IN onnose the will Of the two houses
by vetoing a free sugar bill, passed III

which the people had deliberately APP
uroved? Mr.. Wilson may be rauonai
nrotectionist when he talks in New
Orleans. lust as he is when he talks
in Pittsburgh, but as a Democratic
President elected on the Baltimore
platform. he would have to yield to his
party in Congress and let New Orleans
and Pittsburgh 90 on trusting 10

In fact. so far as prosperity Is con-
cerned. the whole country would have
to 60 it blind and hope for the best
The capture Of Congress and the Presi-
dency by a party which has declared
all protective duties to be unconsutu-
tional could not but upset industry
which has long been adjusted to the
protective basis; depress trade and
check public confidence. The new ad-
ministraton would be one OF radical
experiments, and investors and bust
mass men would all have to sit tight
until the scope Of its destructive ac-
tivities had become clear. If that IS
what the voters want they ought to
give their support to Governor Wilson.
But in that case they might as well
dispense with the feeble pretence that
they are doing the best they can and
I leaving the rest to the charitable dis
position Of Providence.

AN APPEAL TO REASON
Why Veteran Republican Will Vote
for Taft.

To the Editor or The Tribune.
Sir: For several months the nation
has been treated TO a political campaign
OF personalities, a matter OF secondary
Importance. In the closing weeks OF the
campaign there begins to be some atten-
ton TO the principle involved, which is
of the first Importance, and in considering
the principle care should be taken not to
confound II with impulse.
II is fair to assume that every intelIl-
gent and honest man intends to vote for
that which he believes will be for the
best interest of his country, and conse-
quently, for himself. Each voter should
calmly ask himself, What Will be Tor the
best interest? Reason will answer, That
which will preserve and continue the
present business prosperity, for on that
prosperity depends the welfare on all con-
cerned.
Not less than four times in seventy
six years, beginning with 1917, there has
been enacted a non-protective, for-reVe-
nue-only tariff, Immediately followed each
time by the prostration Of business. we
need take only space here for brief refer-
ence to the last experience with such TAR
III, as It is within the memory OF millions
Of voters who will go TO the polls next
month. The Democratic platform OF 1877
was In the main like that OF 1917. Inc
Democratic candidate and orators talked
then much the same as in the present
campaign. But once In power they passed
a measure which closed the doors or our
factories and opened the doors OF dis
pensaries for the distribution OF free soup
and bread
There is n general BELIEF that there Is
too high duty on many articles, but not
one man in ten thousand can dehniteiy
or logically tell what the duty should be.
Our present tariff law wisely provides for
tho appointment OF a bipartisan commis-
sion which shall investigate and report
on each schedule. the only method by
which a proper and satisfactory tarin 70"
vision can be made. This work has be-
gun. and business safety demands that
II should continue The only danger OF
ifs interruption comes from the Third
Term party. A vote for the Third Term
candidate Is vote to help the Demo
cratic party
II is Of vital interest 10 the man VINO
works for weekly wages. 20 the mer-
chant and manufacturer that the Repuo-
llcan party should continue to admin
lister the business OF this government
In the forty-four years that have voted
at Presidential elections there has been
no time when Republican success seemed
so necessary.
Ny belief in our Constitution and love
OF country are as strong now as they
were a half century ago, when, with more
than two millions OF others, volun-
teered 10 endure the hardshIps and dan
gers OF a soldiers life that the Constitu-
ton and country might be preserved.
