OUR
WEAKNESS IN NAVY
SCARCITY OF COAL FOR PACIFIC
FLEET AND ENROLMENT OF
MEN is SHORT 10000.

Washington, May 1.-SummarizeC
statements by navy experts of tho
United States on the unpreparednes'
of the United States navy at tho
present time and the relative strength
of the Japanese navy compared with
the United States navy, show the
unpreparedness Of the United States
First-Thore is only a deceptive
pronouncement of the fighting
strength in ships as between Japan
and the United States.
Second-There is not coal enough
in the Pacific coaling stations to
maintain a battle fleet for one
month on a cruise.
Third-No preparation has been
made by the navy department since
the Japanese situation became acute
to remedy the fatal negligency by
establishing a sufficient coaling base
anywhere outside the limits of the
United States proper.
Fourth-The United States will be
forced in case of hostilities in the
Pa9ific. to make it's base at San
Francisco or at Puget Sound and
it has not one-fifth the coal there
that should % there if Atlantic fleet
of twenty-one ships were at this mo-
ment in the Pacific.
No Effort to Supply Coal.
Fifth-The navy department has =
working arrangement with five trans
continental railroads by which they
could be utilized in an emergency,
but 50 far no spefiC contract for the
shipment of coal to the Pacific coast
has been made.
SiXth-The total coal on hand
in the navy on the first of July last
was 361,757 tons. There was con-
tracted for 63, ,499 tons. Since that
time, according to officials in the
navy department competent to know,
there has been no effort to get larg-
er deliveries or to get options on
coal steamers or make preparations
for the rush of the material to the
Pacific coast.
Seyenth-There are at least eight
cen vessels of the battleship type
which have been held in reserve and
others in ordinary, which would be
to put in complete COM
mission in case the Atlantic fleet
of batttleships now equipped were
sent TO the Pacific. These battle
ships in reserve need about ten thou
sand men to fill up their compile
ments and congress has not been
asked for authority to recruit suffic-
lent men for a fleet. The law limits
the enrolment of the navy to $1,000
men. The present enrolment is about
forty-se thousand and il compile
ted up to $500 men would scarcely
be more than sufficient to equip the
fleet of battleships which
would have to be sent to the Pa
cific.

Paper Estimates Misleading.


I'VE might as well face the fact
that the paper estimates of the Uni
ted States navy do not furnish the
truth as to our ability to cope with
the fleet of Japan. We have made
a very careful study of the relative
strength in ships, first class and we
have found that our strength is 20
ships and that Japan's strength is
IA ships. | mean by this ships that
are equal to each other in a running
sea fight. OF course, in any action
which might be precipitated at any
time we can count out the Penn
sylvania and its sister ship, recent
by approved. We would have to
estimate our fleet strength on the
strength of the Arkansas and next
the Wyoming and then down the list
for about 20 battleships.
Our information is that Japan has
II ships, which would include. o.
course, the kongO, her great battle
cruiser about to be delivered in Eng
lish waters and a sister ship of the
iKongo, which was launched some
time ago.
Our trouble in getting at the
strength of tie japanese navy is that
she hits an annual program which
is not changed, so that she has
steady accretion to her navy from year
to year. In addition to this, we have
no idea where all the ships which
are contracted for by the Japanese
government are being built at this
time.

Let There be Light

AFTER all, New York has the
meanest man. He is the proprietor
OF a store on Broadway and he rig
gcd a powerful automobile head light
in front OF his store in such a way
that the powerful light converted in
to transparencies the fimsy skirts ii
the women who were forced to pass
his place.
The effect of this se~archlight on
the street crowds was marvellous.
The street became so clogged with
men who had gathered to watch the
operation Of the light and what ii
showed that traffic was blocked
Then the police were forced to in
tervene and the mean mar landed in
Jail.
The court held at the trial that ii
would be detrimental to the citizens

powerful to penetrate the scmi-trans-
parent skirts were allowed on Broad.

ally on his promise that the light
would be used no more.

Unheralded Industry

THE fact that the Gypsum plant a.
Mound House is daily shipping out
FIVE full carloads of the finished pro-
duct and daily giving employment 10
200 men would lead one to believe
that at least one industry in this sec
ton is getting along very nicely with
out the services Of a press agent.
And the further fact that this bee
hive of industry is getting along with
the existence in its midst of a saloon,
would also lead us t conclude that
some day in the very near future
there is going to be a saloon man re-
tire to Carson City or some other
place of fine homes and quiet and
ease, with a nice fat bank roll and
nothing to do but clip his coupons
and draw his interest.

What a Newspaper
Wants to do

OFTEN we are made aware that
someone does not like everything
they read in this paper. Neither do
we. But everyone is always at lib
erty to pick out what they don't like
and read the rest. Someone else IS
sure to be found who will pick out
what the other fellow has passed by,
and relish it better than what the first
one retained as good.
Do you know what they call a man
who sits down to a hotel table and
orders everything from soup to nuts:
Swift 4 Armour use them in their
business.
The newspaper man is supposed to
present a varied bill OF fare every
day. Just put aside what you don't
relish. or what you may know dis
agrees with you, and say nothing
about it.
And for the love of Mike, don't
cuss the editor, its both wicked and
foolish. The editor, il he is fearless,
may offend and lose one subscriber,
but ii he is right, in the end he will
Gain five. He may lose an advertiser
but ii he is right he will gain two
thereby.
a merchant in this town may tell
the editor that it does not pay to adj
vcrtisc in his columns, even at rate
offered, yet when a merchant in a
similar business from a larger town
sends in his advertisement TO the
Carson paper. entirely unsolicited,
and says that he sees that the editor
is running a good paper and that he
wants to run an advertisement there
in for n year, and at a rate above
any charged the Carson merchant,
shall the editor turn this good, hard
money down? Is it fair to ask it?
Should we labor not to displeasc
anyone we would soon be found
pleasing no one. Were we to try and
ride all the horses in the field we
would be endorsed by all of them and
put out OF business.
The editor is supposed to follow
his honest, well-considcred %convic-
tons, and the only man he is sup
posed to please is himself.
If he does this with any degree ri
ability and without fear or favor,
even though he be wrong hall the
time, he will enjoy a better peace OF
mind and a greater following and the
support of more true friends than II
he endcavored to trim his sails to
every change of the wind, and with
II chart or compass, principles or
purpose, drift aimlessly about with
every shifting tide. We may be wrong
a deal Of the time, but thank Heav-
ems, we think we're right and try to
stick To- it.
Again-many people feel offended
because their comings and goings are
not mentioned while those Of others
are, or vice versa, many get hot in
the collar il little items Of news con-
corning them are put in the paper IN
a perfectly friendly way. while others
OF someone else escape the eye VI
the hard-worked reporter. The cx-
PLANTATION of the matter is that the
newspaper man is doing his best to
be perfectly fair and impartial and
print all the news, some OF which
may interest someone.
The likes and dislikes OF the news
paper man have nothing to do with
the case. He is. however, not inial-
lible. He is trying to get out a pa
per in which everyone will lind some
thing of interest. When the paper
goes to press the newspaper mar can
walk down the street and shake the
hand of the mar he has in some man
