WORTHY OF ALL HONOR
UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS
HAS GLORIOUS RECORD.
Less Appreciated Than 10 Deserved,
the NAVAL Army" Has Fought the
Battles Of Uncle Sam in All
Quarters Of the Globe.

Considering the part he has played
in the worlds history Of warfare,
there is no fighting unit less under
stood. less appreciated. or even less
known than the marine. Having taken
his share in the making and obliterat-
ing Of maps since the days of the
Phoenician galleys and the biremes
least five centuries before the Chris
tan era. down to the present day. the
chroniclers of the glories of arms of
all civilized peoples have mentioned
him in many stirring passage. And
yet, today, a very large part Of the
population Of maritime nations. and
certainly of the United States. do not
: know what a marine really is.
They have fought at Tripoli In
Mexico and in the Fiji islands. They
were on the job in Paraguay, at Harp
er's Ferry. at Kisembo, on the west
coast of Africa. and In Panama. They
fought the Japanese at Chimonoseki
the savages In Formosa and the forts
IN Korea. They suppressed seal
pcaching In the Behring sea, and pro-
tected the lives and property Of
American citizens in Honolulu. Chill
and China. These and many more
things have the United States marines
accomplished.
The navy has in the marine corps
little army of its own, which. with
out causing international complica-
lions, without even attracting undue
attention, 1t may pick up and move
to some disturbed center in a foreign
land for the protection Of American
lives and property. These soldiers
of the sea" move speedily and unos-
tentatiously, frequently nipping q
revolution In the bud before the
world at large knows that there has
really been any cause for concern.
They are the first men on the
ground In the event Of trouble with a
foreign power and the first men in
battle In case of hostilities. Great
mobility and facilities for quick &C
ton are required of the marines.
They are kept in readiness to move
at moments notice. In many Of
the actions In which they have en-
gagged they have had to contend
against great odds in the way Of su-
perior numbers.
Aldridge says before a single yes
sci Of the navy went to sea corps
was organized" and from that a de-
tachment of 1t won, on the island of
New Providence. one of the Bahamas,
early in TIT. the first fight In the
history Of the regular navy. In this
noteworthy engagement the attacking
party. consisting of 800 marines and
landsmen, under Major Nicholas, cap
tured the forts and other defenses Of
the enemy after a struggle of a few
hours, and secured a quantity of
stores and British cannon.-Kansas

Governor Wilson Makes Final
Plea to New Jersey Legislature

Trenton. y. J., Jan. 14.-President-
elect Wilson in his capacity as COVER
nor OF New Jersey. sent his second
annual message to the legislature,
which convened today. 1t was his last
formal appeal to the Legislature for
the completion of the program of pro-
gressive legislation for which he de-
clared himself when he took office.
Foremost among the laws advocat-
cd are a radical revision of the stat
utes governing corporations and bet
ter laws in tho matter of drawing
juries. The governor recommends the
commission form of government for
cities and speaks strongly in favor of
economies in the state administration.
In conclusion he expresses the hope
that New Jersey will ratify the consti-
tutional amendments providing for
tax on incomes, and the election of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people. The governors message
was written while the president elect
was in Bermuda and constitutes his
only political writing since election.
