THE NEED OF A NAVY.

We see before our eyes at this
moment a great and pOpulOus
empire, now great and popu-
lous republic-China. which has
suffered partial ACKNOWLEDGMENT
purely because she has permit
ted herself to become impotent
In war, so that she has no navy
and not an adequate army. In
consequence Russia, Japan. Ger
many, England and France now
hold Chinese provinces. some of
them themselves the size of EN-
pires. III the American people
deliberately chose to follow in
Chinese footsteps, doubtless
some decades would pass before
we should suffer to the extent
of China. but long before that
time had come we should have
had to abandon all pretense of
unfolding the Monroe doctrine,
we should have had to abandon
Panama and Alaska and every
insular possession. and we
should have had to surrender all
right to say what immigrants
shall and what immigrants shall
not be admitted to our country
and the terms upon which they
shall come here and become
citizens or hold land. Let IL be
understood that every man who
votes to stop building up the
navy or stop terrifying the canal
Is voting TO put us In a position
where we cannot even resent in
suit, let alone ourselves insult
ing others with impunity. Let
US remember that the policy of
uniting the unbridled tongue
and the unready hand is a pol
icy of criminal folly. The most
dangerous of all positions for
any nation is to be upulent, ag-
gressive and unarmed. - Theo-

the personal pulchritude and the Co.'S
tuning of it's MEMBERSHIP chorus or
Little Boy Blue" the joyous operetta
which Henry w. Savage will send to
the Tulane next week, is an organiza-
ton possessing most unusual merit.
Without fear of question it may be
designated as the best singing chorus
which ever lent the aid of its voices
to the success of a musical comedy pro-
duction in this country. There is no
reason why it should not be.
Henry w. Savage, the producer OF
Little Boy Blue" is the best known
impressario of English grand opera in
the world. His productions of MA
dame Butterfly" "The Girl of the Col
den West" and Parsifar' were acknow'
lodged to be far and away superior to
the efforts of any other producer In
that particular field. The quality OF
the chorus voices had a great deal to
do with the success of those ventures
and once the possessors Of those voices
had been placed under contract they
were glad to learn that by the terms
of the contract their services remained
at the call of Mr.. Savage for a number
of years.
