nation, Dewey was given command Of
the Asiatic squadron.
When the Maine was blown up In Ha-
vana Harbor, war became Inevitable. A
number OF the peace-at-any-price men OF
course promptly assumed the position
that she had blown herself up; but in
vestigation showed that the explosion
was from outside. And, In any event, II
would have been impossible to prevent
war. The enlisted men OF the navy,
who often grew bored to the point OF
desertion in peace. became keyed up
to q high pitch OF efficiency, and crowds
OF fine young fellows, from the interior
as well as from the sea coast, thronged
to enlist.
The navy officers showed alert abaIity
and unweaTied industry in getting things
ready There was one deficiency, now
ever, which there was TO time to remedy.
and of the very existence Of which.
strange to say, most Of our best men
were ignorant Our navy had no ltea
how low our standard of craftsmanship
was We had not realized that the
modern battIeship had become such a
complicated piece Of mechanism that the
old methods OF training in marksmanship
were as obsolete as the old muzzle-loading

garded battleshIps as possessing q name
Immorally suggestive OF violence. We
compromised by calling the new ships
armored cruisers. and making them COM
bine with exquisite nicely all the de-
fects and none OF the vlrtures OF both
types. Then we got to the point Of
building battleships. But there still re-
mained a public opinion. as old as the
time OF Jefferson, which thought that in
tie event Of war all our problem ought
t. be one of coast defense, that we
should do nothing except repel attack:
AN attitude about as sensible as that o:
prize fighter who expected to win by
merely parrying instead of hitting. To
meet the susceptibilities OF this large
class Of well-meaning people, We pro-
vided for the battleships under the name
Of coast defense battleships:" meaning
thereby that We did not make them quite
az seaworthy as they ought to have been,
or with quite as much coal capacity as
they ought to have had. Then we de-
cided to build real battleships.
But there still remained a lingering
remnant OF public opinion that Clung

this in beautiful fashion by providing for

form the lunatic fringe in all reform
movements.
All these elements, taken together,
made a body of public opinion SO i'm
portant during the decades Immediately
succeeding the civil war as TO put a
stop to any serious effort to keep the
nation in a condition of reasonable mill
tary preparedness. The Representatives
of this opinion then voted just as they
now do when they vote against battle
ships or against fortifying the Panama
Canal 1t would have been bad enough
IL we had been content to be weak. and,
in view of our weakness, not to bluster.
But we were not content with such =
policy. We wished to enjoy the incom-
patible luxuries OF an unbridled tongue

and amusement in the chase, while af-
fording an additional article of diet.
Twenty-four years ago. in 1883, a
farmer named Lamb. while hunting for
strayed cattle in the woods on Prince
Edward Island, came across two silver
fox pups, male and female, in a hollow
log He carried them home with him
and swapped them with a neighbor for
COW and a few dollars to boot. This
was the beginning OF the industry
which has had so remarkable and prof
liable a development.
For a long time, however, not much
success was had in efforts to rear the
animals in captivity. They obstinateiy
refused TO breed. But eventually the
know-how was acquired through sx-

RENEWAL OF FIGHT
ON PROHIBITION
Chattanooga Mayor Takes
Issue With Commissioner
on the Subject

Chattanooga. January 1o-(Special)-
Ihe action of T. C. Betterton, commits.
sioner of fire and police, In submitting te
the board of commissioners a written de.
tense of his attitude toward the opera
ton OF near beer stands in violation OF
the state prohibition laws, has inaugu.
rated renewal of the fight here be.
tween the prohibition element of the city
ana those that favor local option.
Commissioner Betterton practically stat.
ed that 1t was his intention to protect
the city when the interests Of the state
and city confiicted and that present pro.
hibition laws did not voice the Will OF
the majority OF the people, but were
merely material and timber for a polit
1cal party. Mayor T. c. Thompson, man
OF the pastors of the city, and a num-
Der of private citizens, have taken sharo
issue with him upon the subject
The commissioner is of the opinion tba,
prohibition will not prohibit and that the
CITY would be unable to handle the law
less element which would nevertheless
exist If 1T were not for the revenue dc.
rived from the near beer stands in oues-
tion.
