HOW "GERRYMANDERs STARTED

You probably now what gerrymand-
er means. But do you know its origin?
In 1911, writes James Melvin Lee in
Cartoons Magazine, the struggle be
tween the Democrats and the Federals
for the control of Massachusetts was
extremely bitter. The Democrats had
elected Elbridge Gerry governor and
had carried both houses of the Leg
lature. To retain this supremacy they
remapped the Senatorial districts and
divided the power of their politica!
boundaries. In Essex County the re-
lation of the district to the town was
more absurd and a map of the county
thus laid out hung in the Office of the
Massachusetts Sentinel
One day as Gilbert Stuart, painter Of
the famous portrait of Washington
gazed at the map, he remarked that
the towns as they had been assembled
looked like some monstrous animal. A
few touches of his pencil added the
wings and claws and he christened the
creature a salamander. At the sug-
gestion of Russell, the editor, the
name was changed to "Gerrymander."
The cartoon thereafter frequently ap-
peared in a "broadside," while the
term became one of reproach to the
Legislature that had distinguished it
self by this act of political turpitude.

by Cleveland. The new ships were the
best built at the time and the building
of the new navy devolved upon tn :
Democratic party after the Republican
party in its first twenty-five years OF
absolute control had spent about one
half billion dollars and left us with
out navy.
History now repeats itself, as &C :
cording to statement made a few
days ago by ex-Secretary of War
Stimson (who ought to know the
Republican party in its past sixteen
years of absolute control spent one
half as much on the army and navy az
Germany spent for the same purpose.
and yet his fellow party orators are
wildly proclaiming to all the world
our defenseless condition.-New Yorl,

WHO LAID THE NAVY'S KEEL?

AS a Democratic reader of your pa
per for many years and believing in
your desire to publish the truth, | feel
privileged to correct your statement
in which you credit the late General
Tracy with rebuilding tie American
navy" writes a correspondent. With
out in the least disparaging the serv-
ices of Mr. Tracey, l claim that tn
statement does grave injustice to Gro
yer Cleveland and his naval secre
taries, Whitney and Herbert, and, be i.
sides, is contrary to the facts, as yol.
may verify from your own files, in
Guiding your reports on Mr.. Whitney's
death.
Everybody should remember the
white squadron was the browning
achievement of Cleveland's admins
trations and the records show that in
Mr.. Tracy's short term of Office, less
than four years, three battleships were
laid, while in the two terms of Presi-
dent Cleveland four new battleships
were laid and upward of fifty fast
cruisers, destroyers and torpedo boats
were started or completed great bat
tleships not then being considered the
most desirable type. Mr.. Tracey mere

HANDLING 'MAD MEN,"

1t is not halfway antagonism to pre-
paradness of war that Mr.. Bryan
breaches. He is a thoroughgoing pa
cifst Addressing an audience Sunday
in Boston he said IF any of the mad
men of Europe should challenge us our
nation would be justified in saying,
No, we will not battle with you; we
have 1OO,OO0,OOO people to guard, we
have countless ideals to preserve, and
We will not go down and Wallow in
the mud of war with you" But he
would most likely happen after thai
gentle speech to the mad men, Would
so soft an answer turn way their
wrath, appease their lust for our rich
es, turn back Their great fleets and
check their advancing armies?
How can he think it would do all
that? Isn't it as certain as night fol-
lowing day that the mad men would
seize us and wallow us in the mud al;
the deeper because we were not pre-
pared to prevent them from doing it,
How could we guard our 100,000,000
people and preserve our ?countless
ideals from mad men without strength
to tame them? Everybody will agree
with Mr.. Bryan that might does not
make right, but everybody knows that
right must have the support of at
least is much might as backs up
wrong, else wrong will triumph.
Maybe it is a good thing that there
are both such enemies of preparedness
as Mr.. Bryan and such advocates of T.
as the men who want standing army
of 100000, for the people to see the
folly of both They are at extremes to
neither of which the country intends
to go. 1t will be neither unprepared
nor as it seems now, satisfied with its
present measure of preparedness. Mr.
Bryan's argument against prepared
ness is an excellent argument in favor
of it-Savannah Morning News.

referring to an official Russian state
ment dated from Tiflis to the effect that
owing 10 the alleged capture OF the
Turkish seaport of khopI on the Black
Sea, the communications between Con-
stantinople and the Turkish terri
tories of Ardanuch, Ardahan, OH, and
Sari kamysh have been severed, the
Turkish Embassy says:
In the first place, the territories of
Ardanuch. A5dahan, Olti, and SarI
kamysh are not Turkish. but Russian
districts occupied by the Ottoman forces
since the beginning of the hostilitics:
Secondly, the seaport Of Ehopa,
which is only a small fishing village.
has no Importance whatsoever in the
matter of communications with the
territories confirming the Russian Dor
der, which have always been carried
through TrebiZonde and RiZe.
consequently, the aforementioned
Russian statement simply proves that.

GERMAN PORTS MAY STILL

Tho fact that Great Britain has not

she would stop vessels going into or
leaving German ports could not legally
apply to cargoes bought in Bremen, for
instance. paid for by Americans and
owned by Americans and leaving that
port for the United States on any vessel
engaged in neutral trade. The authori-
ties declare that such outward shipments
from Germany could not possibly be
'SuSpected' OF carrying Contraband or
having an enemy destination" and that
such ships and cargoes would come clear
~ within the rights of American COM
merce as indicated in this governments
note OF December last to Sir Edward
Grey
This new problem was discussed at

with the unofficial news from Great
Britain that she reserves to herself
the right to get goods from Germany
Notwithstanding her declaration that
she viii not permit commerce with
German ports. 1t was calmly stated,
according 10 the dispatches from Lon

Congress relieved the railroad of the
