Secretary Daniels Thinks Results
Ample Answer to Criticism.

Secretary Daniels today signed COM
missions Of 304 midshipmen, who con-
stitute the largest entering class ever ad-
mitted to the Naval Academy at An
uapolis.
"The fact that this years entering
class is the largest on record is pretty
good evidence that the examinations for
admissions are not too difficult" said
MT. Daniels when his attention was
directed to criticism on the floor Of the
House yesterday by Representatives Mann
of Illinois and Howard of Georgia
s.If investigation should prove that some
of the questions asked presuppose too
great an intellectual equipment upon the
part OF the applicants, such questions
will be eliminated, but general results
Justify the reasonableness OF the ques-
lions asked" he added.

SLABS AT REPUBLICANS.
Senator Overman Cites Record Re.
parding Revenue Collectors.

An echo OF the debate in the Senate
last week over an amendment TO the
urgent deficiency LII TALKING deputy coll
lectors Of internal revenue and deputy
United States marshals from under the
civil service system was heard in the
Senate today. when Senator overman of
North Carolina directed the attention or
the Senate to the fact that by order Of
President Cleveland the deputy collectors
had been covered into the civil service in
1896: that in 1899, when the republicans
came into power, the deputy collectors
were taken out OF the civil service, and
later in 1906 the republicans put them
back in the civil service.
THE republicans took care, of course.
in 1893 "a to, replace all, the democratic
deputy collectors with republicans" re-
marked Senator Overman.

Hitchcock ventures to specify but four
objections to the bill az It passed the
House" In asking for more time In which
to consider the subject. Asserting that
the Senate committee had possession, OF
the currency bill before the House com.
mittee. the statement suggested that ut
would not be exactly fair for the public
to assume, merely because Senator Hitch-
cock Is unprepared to act. that those who
now have the matter in charge have not
had even more time and better oppor-
tunfties than the House committee to
study the subject and give It definite form
and substance"
Concerning some Of Senator Htchcock's
objections to the bill. Representative
Glass said:
Tho assertion that the bill az &c passed
the House would Yrightfully contract
credits,' even temporarily, u
q igment Of the imagination. It has
not one particle Of basis: ana no capable
actuary with any regard for his intel
lectual integrity would report any such
conclusion"

Lurid newspaper pictures of President

Cling politically few senators as an in

the differences that may be drawn from
conferences Mr.. Wilson is having with
democratic senators.
That ill-feeling is being aroused is
evident today in a number of quar-
tiers and was appreciated at the White
House when authorities there asserted
that the President is working along
in conciliatory way, as he did on the
tariff. and that he has no purpose Of
undertaking to use radical measures
at this time. The position Of the White
House Is quite plain and is summed up to-
day as follows:

Hon. Adam Beck

Hon. Adam Beck
Hon. Adam Beck, who has played
an equally prominent part in indus
trial affairs and public life in Ontario,
was born in Waterloo County, On
tario, June 20, 1857. His education
was received principally in the pub
lie schools of Gait, Ont. After leav-
ing school he entered the Office of his
father who was engaged in the iron
foundry business. In 1880 the son
embarked in the manufacturing bust.
ness on his own account. He was
successful from the start and soon be-
came a prominent factor in Industrial
circles. In the general election of
1898 Mr.. Beck was an unsuccessful
candidate for the Ontario legislature.
In the election four years later he
was successful and in 1905 he was
appointed a minister without porto
Ito in the Whitney Administration.
His chief claim to fame is as the orig.
inator of the hydro-power legislation,
which has been instrumental in fur
nishing many cities of Ontario with
an abundant power at a low price and
is already accomplishing wonders in
aiding in the development of those
cities @ manufacturing centers.

3. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodical from the post

settle their bill and order their paper
discontinued.
a.. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publish
er any papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
5. Courts have decided that refus-
ing periodicals from the Office or NOV

prima facie evidence of intention to

"FATHER RS DAY."

From far off Seattle comes a voice
that gives us pause, says the New
York Herald. The good folk there
may be hopelessly distanced by the
march of events and in the mental at
titude of the nan who still is voting
for Andrew Jackson. Again, they
may be heroes rallying to a lost cause.
In any event, yesterday they celebrat-
ed as Fathers Day"
Whatever the occasion for this
event, it is refreshing. 1t is a breath
out of the nineteenth century and its
predecessors. Fathers Day." While
we smile at the simplicity of our far
western friends, let us not sneer; for
eve in this progressive east, where
father is hardly enough in evidence to
be marked as an exhibit, he still has
a habit of coming home on Saturday
night with the pay envelope, which
represents not only the bacon, but
also the slashed sheath skirts, turkey
trot lessons and taxicab hire.
