Strong Navy a Guarantee of Peace.

In an address at the Naval War Col
lege, Thursday night, says a Washing
ten dispatch, Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge pleaded for big navy as a
guarantee of peace" Sen. Lodge de-
clared that a strong navy is a bar to
the attack OF any enemy; that ii
would make for peace and nothing
else; that no extravaganza which can
be committed will equal that of econ
omizing by reducing the navy; that
the peace of all nations might rest up
ON the great influence of American
naval power in time of war menace;
that while we have powerful navy
no one will attack us and we shall be
able to use our influence in the cause
OF peace everywhere.
to reveal the authority Tor some of his
assertions it should be remembered
that few men in the United States are
in a position to make such a state
ment with authority, as the following
by Mr.. Lodge; Within five years-cer-
tainly within ten aggressions
would be made upon us which the
American people would not tolerate for
a moment"
IL these words of Senator Lodge are
true 1T is still useless for gentlemen to
cry economy" or the peace advocates
to proclaim peace" On several oeeas-
ions within the memory of the present
generation. the military and naval
power OF America has undoubtedly
saved us from hostilities with other
nations. IN our vast outlying posses
sions, our great wealth and our conf
mercial competition with other power
FIJI nations, lie constant danger of I'M
toward activities against our interests.
We are not beloved by all nations and
there are still statesmen in many of
the first powers who believe that the
world belongs to the aggressive and
the energetic.

elephants that had for three or four
nights successfully plundered the potato
and banana "shambas." / set out at
$50 A. NJ, accompanied by my gun

there were the footmarks of three ele-

and had gone to the right; so we followed
the bulls spoor' through dence rhododen-

The rain which had been threatening
now poured down in torrents making ii
impossible either for us to hear the ele
plant or vice versa. Suddenly the TRACK

10 yards ahead-the forest had thinned
here little-a fine bull with long, heavy
tusks. Fearing I might not get such an
other opportunity. although the bushes

That life in the village of Dryden is

the following contribution from the
Dryden correspondent of the Franklin
Journal: ut was a. Dryden woman who,
Saturday afternoon, was coming from
Stanley's store with a package of roll
ed oats under one arm and in the other
hand a tin pail of milk which she had
just purchased at a neighbours. She
slipped on a piece OF ice and landed on
her back, giving her head u thump
and trying to dent the ice with both
elbows. Failing in this, the ice denied
one elbow so it 5led through shirt
sleeve, shirt waist, and onto her coat
sleeve. cor course it was clean. light
shirt waist.) The fall also denied her
hat and somewhat demolished the pail,
but she saved about half her milk and
also found her back comb, which was
dislocated in the general mixup. How
her coat looked after the deluge of

scribed. 5

LIQUOR IN INSANE AsYLUMs.


The evidence thus far adduced at the
hearing on conditions in the Massachu-
sets insane asylums is not at all fiat
tering to the administration Of those in.
situations. Indeed there seems to be a
great need for reform in methods of
handling the unfortunate inmates OF
those institutions, although the heads
of the institutions may not themselves
be at fault except for failure to enforce
better discipline among some of the at
tendants. One of the most crying needs
for reforms is the matter of the use oil
liquor by the attendants. When liquor
has been taken in any considerable
quantities, the persons so imbibing are
not in proper condition to deal with per-
sons of perversities of disposition such
as insane people are troubled with. Liq-
uor does not tend to increase the pa
thence OF the attendants or to make
them capable of maintenance of calm
mental attitude. 1t was testified that
liquor was used and sometimes used in
quantities beyond all warrant by some
attendants; and the revelation was very
disquieting, for the discipline of the en-
ployes of the institutions must have
been seriously interfered with. Massa-
chusetts cannot afford to let this thing
continue, any more than could any state
which has the duty of taking care of
hundreds and thousands of insane per-
sons.
