Submarines in the Mediterranean.

German submarines have beerSunable to pass
through the Straits of Dover to attack trans
ports carrying troops from England to France
across that narrow waterway since the carly days
of the war because the passage is blocked by
chains and nets, anchored. buoyed and guarded by
torpedo boats and other war vessels. 1t is often
asked why the British do not block the Straits OF
Gibraltar in the same way and keep German sub
marines out of the Mediterranean Sea- At the
narrowest point the Straits of Dover are twenty
one miles wide and the Straits of Gibraltar arc
only little more than eight miles WIDE but the for
mer channel is shallow enough &c give good anchor
age while the latter is 5000 feet deep with cur
rent setting inward at three to six miles an hour
and deep undercurrent running out into the At
lantic Ocean. The average depth of the nayigable
channel at Gibraltar is nearly 700 feet and il is
impossible TO anchor in any part Of a stretch OF
more than four miles across the middle Of the
Straits of Gibraltar. No doubt everything pos
siblc will be done to block this channel blu,
the methods successfully employed at Dover arc
not feasible.-New York Commercial.

Discipline and Loyalty.

The Navy lost on the gridiron Saturday. but the
midshipmen greater victory in the restora-
ton of confidence from their superior officers and
the public in their trip to New York A few months
ago there were rumors of dshonorablc conduct in
connection with the annual examinations at the
Naval Academy, and these followed by an
other sensation with accusations Of hazing. The
guilty dismissed but in the public mind was
created a suspicion that the whole regiment was
below the standard OF honor which had been main
tanned at the Academy for many years. Superin-
tendent Eberle did not share this suspicion. He
thought he knew the midshipmen, and he put them
to test by turning the whole regiment
loose in New York at the close OF the game There
were 900 mddies released from all military re-
straint except the respect in which they held the
uniform they wore.
The great white way with its temptations. the
cafe dansants, the garish hotels, the alluring bars
and all that goes to produce in prudsh minds the
wickedest place in Christendom, where no young
man can be trusted after dark, presented their
temptations to these young men, few of whom
have reached their majority. The middes enjoyed
it all. They were quartered in the most popular
hotels, they visited the theaters where Sunday
school plays were not presented, and they enjoyed
the sights and the attentions showered upon them;
but they all reported for duty early Sunday morn
military discipline though they had never been
free from it.
When the fathers came to the selection q
permanent capital for the nation they were care
full to avoid the large cities protect the states
men from the temptations of great white ways
They had more confidence in the stern re-
sistance Of temptation by the average member of
Congress than have some members of Congress in
the resistance of the midshipmcn. The States fol-
lowed the example of the nation and located their
capitals far possible from the great white
ways of metropolitan life, and for the same rea-
son. Religious conferences. Sunday school con-
ventions and cmPcrancc concaves have also
avoided the large cities perhaps for the same rca-
son. There have not been many experiences Of
turning Congress legislatures or conventions of
doctors, lawyers and preachers loose in the great
white way of New York, and the few such ex-
periments made have not demonstrated that the
guardians of political and moral welfare can re-
sist the temptation and all report for duty at the
sound of revee next morning.
When we come to consider it in its relation 70
the average power of resistance to the lure of the
serpent, the of Superintendent Eberle's OK
pertinent in turning GOO mddies loose in New
York Saturday night, ought to relieve the minds
the Naval Academy had not been maintained and
thought that the middies should be kept under
kindergarten tutelage. Congratulations are in Or
! der to the middes and to Superintendent Eberlc
who appears to be real sailor man with conf
dence in his crew. crew that responds in LOYALTY
to the captain.

Roosevelt is still the greatest man that this coun-

And had Mr.. jefferson lived to witness
the result, he would hardly have al
tered his judgment He had stood, for
all he was so full Of democratic doc
trine. for conservative ways Of political
growth.
Gen. Jackson stood. 1t turned out, for
personal government party prescriptions,
and the self-willed choices of personal
power.
Gen. Jackson professed to be OF the
school of Mr.. jefferson himself: and
what he professed he believed.
There was no touch of the charlatan or
the demagogue about him. The action
| OF his mind was as direct. as sincere, a.
| unsophisticated as the action OF the
mind OF an ingenious child. though It ex-
hibited also the sustained intensity and
| the range Of the mature man
The difference between Mr.. Jefferson
and Gen. Jackson was not a differences
| OF moral quality so much as a difference
i'm social stock and breeding.
! Mr.. Jefferson. an aristocrat and YET
| a philosophical radical. deliberately prac.
| ticed the arts 81 the politician and ex.
hibited oftentimes the sort OF instncerity
which subtle natures yield to without
loss OF essential integrity.
Gen. Jackson was incapable Of arts
or deceptions OF any kind. He was in
fact what his partisans loved TO cal
! him, a man OF the people. OF the common
| people:
Mr.. Jefferson was only a patron OF tbs
people: appealed to the rank and file, be
| lieved in them. but shared neither thell
: tastes nor their passions.
Moreover. the effective rank and file o.

! following another. the old restrictions
upon the suffrage. taken for granted Il
JeTerson's time. had been removed. IN
! til in almost every part of the Union tbs
men of the masses had become the STUFF
! Of politics.
These men Jackson really represented
! albeit with a touch OF the knight anC
| chivalrous man OF honor about hin
which common men do not have: anC
| the people knew Il: felt that an aristo
| cratic order was upset. and that theI
themselves had at last come to thei
