The report just published of
the condition of the Navy shows
that it is in a higher state of eff
ficiency than ever before. and
furnishes a complete refutation
of all the charges advanced by
the enemies of the Secretary of
the Navy.
The cold facts are that these
vicious attacks have emanated
from those who resented the order
of the Secretary, barring liquor
from the Navy. and they knew
their falsity when they made
them. The similar action of the
European rulers now at war, fur

Merchants Try It..

A plan for drawing trade to town
has been successfully worked atseveral
points might be adopted to advantage
in this city. The plan is as follows:
An agreement was reached between all
the merchants whereby they offerod
special sales on certain days, each mer-
chant selecting some special line Of
goods upon which he made a lower price
than usual Thus one dry goods hou se
would sell gloves at special price.
while another would offer bargains in
dress goods. One hardware merchant
reduce the price on skates. Every line
of business was represented and care
was taken that no conflicts occurred
Prizes were then offered to the farm
ers bringing In the best load of grain

the surrounding country. the names of
the merchants and their special sales

responded in most gratifying manner
and the merchants were we'll pleased

wisdom of silence. In advising the
members of her sex, as how best to
succeed in politics, she says the first
commandment to be observed, should
be Hold my tongue. !" She goes on to
give some of her personal experiences
as Legislator. and how she finally
come to the conclusion that to accom-
plish most she must learn where and
when to hold her tongue. A great
many men destroy their effectiveness
in Congress and Legislature as we'll as

much. The man who talks most. must
necessarily give some attention to his
manner of delivery, and frequently, in
his desire to express himself IN beautl-
full and oratorical way. he reglects to
study carefully his subject. OF course
there are exceptions, but the average
man in public life accomplishes more
if he spends more Of his time studying
a situation, and less time talking about
it. Closer attention to the business,

Seeking Publicity.
B1 or. FRANK CRANE.

Down In the University at Pennsyl-
wanna there is q live man: he is called
Professor Scott Nearing. There is one
thing the matter with him, however
his head is not solid bone, neither is it
an osseous filed with oatmeal. In
other words, he has brains.
He not only has a brain, but has
something on it. And when man has
something on the brain he is pretty
sure sooner or later to get mixed up in
disturbance with the PhiIistines.
1t has happened to Nearing.
1t seems that one Joseph Wharton
endowed the economic department of
the university with a large mass of
meney, urging at the same time that
there should be taught faithfully the
doctrine of protective tariff
Nearing didn't seem to see it that
Way, being victim of the dangerous
habit of cerebfation.
A committee therefore the other day
reported tothe board of directors and
mentioned lone discordant note" in
the school, a"tendency on the part of q
certain element of the teaching staff
to seek publicity by discussion of vari-
GUS conclusions based on hiassed atti-
tude of mind
1t was not Wharton and his dead
lump of money that was BIASED; it
was Nearing who was alive ard whose
think works were functioping.
The committee recommended that
some safe men like Mr.. Taft, MI.
Root, and Mr.. Knox, beiavited to come
in and talk to the students. as an an
tidote to the threatened Meningitis.
The PUBLIC in reviewing this incident,
observes aptly that lit is fortunate
for the mathematical department OF
the university that no one has given
it money conditioned on the teaching
that two ard two make five, ard for
| the department of astronomy that nc
millionaire wants the Ptoemlc theory
taught there as truth
The sneer OF Professor Nearing as q
publicity seeker, is characteristic. 20
