If he has walked far enough to be

the larger ones completed only after
long endeavor and many mishaps due
to the unstable bottom on which they

vessel TO the sides Of the basin.
In a smaller dock lies a tug, OF
perhaps a collier, a destroyer or a

and through the paved streets are
miles of railroad tracks on which run
trains for carrying material taken ont
of the ships or to be built into them.
On them run the great travelling
cranes capable of lifting $50 tons of
steel back and forth.
At the bulkheads are naval ships

the United States yards will stand
comparison with any yard, public or
private, in any country"
There is popular hazy idea that
a navy yard is an enclosed space
usually near the water, SO that ships
may moor alongside while something
or other is being done to them. Those
persons who have sailed past the
yards have conception of several
such vessels, and one, or maybe two,
great unused cranes, presenting enor-
nous arms and multitudinous wire
cables, sold to the yard for the benefit
of some influential manufacturer.
If such person win visit a first
class yard, such as the New York
yard-and they are open at suitable
hours to public inspection-he will
come away with very different men
tai picture. He will realize that the
place seems unpeopled only because
the yards are so large that the build
ings and the worlmen are not crowd
ed. He viii see barracks large enough
to furnish roomy accommodations for
regiments of marines, with big parade
grounds ON which they are drilled, and
beyond row of neat and comfortable
houses where the commandant, usual

the officers attached to the yard have

This country has at home, that is
on this continent, seven firft-class and
five second-class navy yards, besides
two naval stations; and one first-class
and two second-class yards and four
naval stations abroad, on our insular
possessions. It also has five coaling
stations, besides eight reservations,
such as Annapolis, for naval use.
OF the yards called first-class, BE-

ton and heavy repair work, New

an outlay for land, buildings, public
works, improvements and machinery
installed more than $50, 765, 900. It's
military value is incalculable; and al
though It's location from the strategic
standpoint is not ideal-it Is not on
the mainland and is too near the coast
for perfect protection-it lies in the
greatest seaport of the country, is
conveniently near railroad lines and
waterways, and in the center of a
great labor and manufacturing sup
ply.
Boston, Portsmouth and Norfolk
yards were established in 1900. The
northeastern coast states at that time
were the home of the nations ship
building, and it was only natural that
the first national yards should be
placed where plenty Of timber and

might be successfully operated.
EFF the first-class yards-most IF
which were located before the middle
Of the last century-were to be re-
placed today some changes would be
made. Prior to 1850 1t was thought
that the range of a cannon would
never exceed the league which meas
ured a nations jurisdiction beyond
its coast Line; but now It would be
ne strain upon dreadnought's IL
inch guns to smash shipyard at
three or four times that distance.
"But from the standpoint of ec0-
nomics, In which their use for mill
taxy necessities Is the first factor, the
yards are fairly well located and too
few rather than too many in num-
ber.
SEvery one knows that to some ex-
tent the distribution Of the yards in
the first instance was aided by local
influences; but as only one, Charles
ton in 1901, has been constructed
since 1891, this day and generation
need give little concern to that as a
present grievance.
Gas to the use Of national yards
for political party advantage, I can
say nothing about what may have
been done In other administrations;
but say e1nphatdcaI1y It Is not done
under this administration; for il is
not good business, which Is a SUIT
ficiently good reason, nor is it good
politics.

pairs and new construction which they
can possibly require for military pur-
poses.
almost every possible place not
occupied by an imperial navy yard
has been taken for private yards,
which can In time Of need be utilized
for national purposes. In an emer-
gency, such as the present conflict,
the private yards alone can probably
construct more vessels than the i'm
perial exchequer viii pay for.
England being an island has q
greater coast line, but tie most wide
" separated points Of the island being
only about twenty-hour hours sailing,
the royal navy yards, Davenport,
Portsmouth, Chatham, Rosyth and
other smaller yards, afford all the
room required for repair and construc-
ton. The many private yards on the
Clyde, the Thames and other waters
considerably larger than the German
private yards, give to England the
use, In case Of need, many more than
the great national yards. Hence fou1
yards are ample for all requirements
in war as well as in peace for Eng
land.
IF this government provided yards
or naval bases for every hundred
miles of its continental Beacoast, ex-
elusive of Alaska, it would require
about fifty instead Of the seven first
and five second-class yards now scat
tered at varying intervals along the
800 miles of thea tlargtic and the
Pacific and the Gulf Of Mexico.

What Bryan Say. of Statewide.

Speaking of the injection of the
Statewide question into the demo-
cratic party's policies, William Jen-
nings Bryan is quoted in the Courier
Journal as follows: prohibition is
not an issue in all the States, but
wherever it is an issue, hope to see
the Democratic party take the prohi-
bition side. 1t cannot ally itself with
the liquor interests without losing its
moral standing, and the moral stand
ing of a party is the thing that gives
it permanent strength. "A surrender
to vice or immortality seldom gives
even temporary advantage could be
secured by such course, it would be
at the expense of the permanent well
fare of the party. 1t is not only right
for party to take the moral side of
question but it pays to do So"

The statement of his position on
the several questions now before the
people by Col. w. P. Walton, Of The
Lexingtonian, was frank and manly,
if not good political stroke, as many
think. He states that he wants no
votes under false pretenses. He is
against Statewide" because he does
not believe it feasible, and is also
against rotation in Office as practiced
by the politicians at Frankfort and
elsewhere. Col. Walton is a candi-
date for the democratic nomination
for Secretary of State, and while he
is exceedingly anxious for the great
honor, he wants no one to vote for
him under the belief that he is a
"state-wider." In fact, he wants the
people to know "where he is at" on
all questions custom he has prac-
ticed all of his life.

Hits The Nail On The Head.

The Shelby Record refers to the
four or five "inconsequential" news
papers in Kentucky that are >advocat-
ing Statewide prohibition. We sup
pose the Records idea is that no pa
per that does not espouse the cause of
the open saloon and liquor interests,
as it does, can be OF any consequence
in Kentucky. The Record has fought
for the liquor interests so long that
it has become like the Courier Jour
nal-thinks that those who oppose the
saloons and favor local option and
temperance are cranks, fools and ia
natics. By the way the Record does
not seem to have been of much con-
sequence in the local option fight in
that county last fall.-Midway Clip

The "unloaded" gun got in its work
again the other day. Charles Hill, of
Columbia, found shot gun that his
brother had recently brought from a
hunting trip and thinking it empty,
pointed it at his four-year-old sister
and pulled the trigger. The entire
load of shot entered the child's body,
causing instant death. Now the bro
ther is crazed with grief and the fam
lily preken-hearted. 1t seems that the
practical joker will never cease to
get i'm his awful work. Probably it
would be good idea to fix some pun
ishment for him when he goes so far
as to cause loss of life or property,
and especially should the fellow who
pranks with a gun, and thus endan-
gers human life, be subjected to some
trial or punishment to make him de-
