Things are looking up. Ii isn't go- ing to he SO bad after all as we thought 1t wns. Of course 1t is bad enough and it will mean pretty hard siedding for good many but we have just the right amount of reserve force left in us to get right back where we were.
 There are a lot of near r-do- wells in any community who will never get back because they were never any where to get back to. They didn't have anything before the storm and they haven't anything now and If they were given a hundred dollars tomorrow they wouldn't havo anything week from now. They arc the sort of pco- pie who never produced anything here and will never produce anything any where else. There are not very many of these individuals. thank fortune. but no community exists that hasn't It's quotn of buns.

At mass meeting "f the citizens of Nome held !tsi night the l"lit.,a! aights of the city ably assisted by th" gentlemen of the legal fraternity and contrary to all custom In similar mat ters very gently put ore over on the citizens of Nome.

ships had met their doom-the same ship from
which Philip ordered his men not to cheer when
the Vizcaya, the Cristobal Colon, the Maria Their
esa, the flower of Cerveras squadron, were burn
ing and sinking down into the grave to which the
deadly shots OF SIMPSONS gunners had consigned
them. But the old Texas, which, like the New
York, was renamed so that the name of the Lone
Star state might adorn that of the new New
Yorks sister, has long since met her fate.
Ripped, riddled and torn by the shells of the
newer and more modern ships, to prove the
craftsmanship of whose men the Texas was de-
stroyed the hulk of that old shp-a sister of
the Maine that went down in Havana harbor,
and which going down fastened the conflict with
Spain-still half floats in Chesapeake bay, just
enough of her left to provide another marksman-
ship test for mighty dreadnaught of the
fleet under Admiral Badger.
AS went the old Texas, will go of the
other ships of the feet that is obsolete Already
the Indiana is mentioned the next martyr ship
for the Atlantic fleet, and after her the Massa-
chusetts, and then the Iowa, and perhaps within
a year or two the Kearsarge and the Kentucky,
the Alabama, the Illinois, and the Wisconsin, all
of them beyond all question or doubt now of the
obsolete type of fighting craft.
But let's call the roll of the obsolete fleet, and
the fagships shall lead off just as they did at
Manila and at Santiago:
1. The cruiser Olympia flagship of Dewey at
Manila.
Q. The armored cruiser Saratoga flagship of
Sampson at Santiago.
8. The armored cruiser Brooklyn flagship OF
Schley at Santiago

ships, while all America Joined in one grand hur-
rah for a navy that admittedly one of the
best on the seven seas.
The American navy is still among the best but
the ships that were fought by Dewey and by
Sampson and by Schley longer figured in
the lineup that makes the great fleet under COM
mapd of Rear Admiral Badger of the most
powerful fighting organizations the world has
ever seen.
Every one OF the famous ships of 1898 is today
officially admitted to be obsolete and all of them
put together would not be powerful as is the
giant superdreadnaught Wyoming or the Arkan-
sas. or the Florida, or the Utah, any one OF
which would be match for all the ships that
fought under Dewey and Sampson combined, If
such test should be made.
Just year ago the then secretary of the navy.
George Won l.. Meyer, publicly called attention to
the fact that the American navy had more than
its full quota of battleships whose day In the
first line had passed and the places of which
would have to be taken by more modern ships of
the Wyoming and Florida classes if the United
States was to retain its position as the worlds
second naval power. The other day the observa-
.tion of the eX-naval secretary was recalled by
naval officer in New York, who took pencil and
pad and, going back fifteen and twenty and
twenty-five years figured out just what the obso'
lete ships now adorning the naval lists originally
cost the United States government.
1t ridicuously easy, the computation of
that total value of famous ships that ready
to die naval death of old age. The result was
astounding, and when at last the navy man wiped
his brow and announced the result of that little
mathematical feat of his he had proved that the
value OF those ships, some of them still less than
a dozen years old, reached the stupendous total
Of more than s1OO,OOO.OOO, or, to be exact,
$129 932S14.
of this $13O,OOOOOO fleet that was, it is inter-
esting, and in way sad, to note that 1t includes
the Saratoga. the name given Simpsons old flag
ship New York when her name was taken so
that 1t could be given to the mighty superdread-

navy yard in Brooklyn: Schleys flagship, the

Dewey uttered his famous order to Captain Grid

Indiana, and the Massachusetts, sister ships

is smallest; at two elections already
its parliament, expressing the popular
opinion, voted for the total Prohibi-
ton OF alcoholic liquors, which it has
not been able, it is true, to put in
force, for lack of the sanction OF the
car of Russia, the grand duke of
Finland. The actual legislation is,
however, very rigid. In the cities
the Gothenburg system is in force
In the rural districts, inhabited by IS
per cent of the population, the Pro-
hibition OF brandy is general, and that
of beer is often met with. Wine is
an article of luxury which only the
rich classes consume.
Being curious to observe for my
self, on the ground, the difference be-
tween our countries of western and
central Europe, with their consump-
ton of alcohol varying from 10 to 20
litres per capita per year, and Fin
land where it does not exceed one
litre and half, | eagerly accepted
an invitation of DR.. M. Helenius- Sep
pala, who invited ME in the name of
the Finnish Total Abstinence society,
to attend conference at the general
assembly Of the society, and to take
advantage of it to study the anti-alco-
hol movement among the Firms. |
will not pretend to have learned all
there is to learn about Finland in fif-
teen days, but, thanks to the kindness
of DIR. Helenius | was able, in short
time, to observe many interesting
facts and to carry away some precise
impressions of my trip. will give
them here, almost in the words that |
wrote down in my notebook | intend
to publish more systematic report in
the Anti-Alcoholic Annual of 1914.
The stranger who learns of the
number of the abstainers organized in
Finland is sometimes a little deceived
when he learns that there are not
more than one hundred thousand, or
gained i'll two large societies, the
Raittuden Ystavat, with $4,000 mem
bers, and the Swedish Abstainers' So
ciety. To these two societies we must
add the total abstinence society of
railway employees, and the organiza-
ton of the students who are abstain
e.s.
Indeed, then! Does Finland have
more abstainers than Switzerland?
Let us understand each other. With
US, outside of the hundred thousand
organized abstainers, the number of
adults that practice the regime of cold
water is very restricted. In Finland,
on the contrary, the idea of absti-
hence has penetrated the mass of the
people. 1t is no longer an oddly, not
to say worse, to abstain from alco-
holic drinks; abstinence has become

Is the same, Tor the most part, with
The Christian organizations OF the
young people. In the country, many
u the young peoples societies de-
mand abstinence of their members
aid 1t Is we'll understood that alcohol
IS banished from reunions, and agri-
cultural eXpositions. The many or
CARNATIONS of working women have
the same rule.
The organized abstainers, then, are
far from representing all the abstain
ers of Finland. They are rather the
chosen few of the propagandsts,
specially devoted to the struggle
against alcohol, and sure of the sup
port of the majority of the country,
when they need it.
Not Exaggerated.
y person who is acquainted with
only the capital of Finland, Helsing-
fors, and the large cities of the coast,
hight believe that we have exaggerated
Finnish sobriety. Certainly, at Helsing-
fors you do not find the repulsive
drunkenness which riots in most of
the ports, but indeed they do drink
alcohol, and not little, in the large
restaurants of the city and the Go
thenburg stations (cafes) are there to
appease the thirst of the working pop
ulation. | visited one of those cafes;
there were many types of alcoholics
among the customers. The manage
ment of the Gothenburg system does
what it can to turn its clients from al
coholic drinks; it sells one-third of
litre of milk for ten confines, and one
third of litre of beer for 25 cen
times. The cafes where it is sold, to
be carried away, are closed at o'clock
ir the evening, while the cafes where
it is drunk on the premises, and al
ways taken with a repast of some
kind. are open till o'clock they close
on Saturday afternoon, on Sundays
and on holidays. When I arrived at
Helsingfors, on June IS, the cafes
were about to reopen; they had been
closed several days because OF the
great holiday of the North, the mid
summer.
Helsngfors is the center of the anti
alcoholic movement of Finland and the
headquarters of the Raittiuden Ystavat
visited also the hall of the largest alb
stainers' union, called the Koito The
society has a frontage on the street and
occupies a large building with hall
for celebrations, library, and restau-
rant without liquors. 1t has also rented
park space in the suburbs of Helsing-
fors which is invaded every Sunday BY
happy crowd A restaurant without
liquors, in the Finnish style, satisfies the
material needs of the visitors.
But I must leave Helsinpfors for
