PRESIDENT Will
TAKE ship BILL
BEFORE PEOPLE
Wilson Determines to As
certain Public's Wishes
Before Extra Session.
(By John Temple Graves.)

(By John Temple Graves.)
Washington, Feb. 1S.-There will
be no immediate extra session of the
64th congress.
The president has settled all doubt
tonight. Political and economical
reasons nave recently had "a powerful
reinforcement in physical conditions
and the decision is clear.
The president is far from we'll. The
labor and strain of the last few weeks
have told upon the executive.
Whel efore, the presidential dis
cret,on is equal to his valor and Mr..
Wilson will welcome the rest and
change which he will find in the trip
to California and the exposition.
Here his plans become contingent.
The president will tap the wires OF
public opinion at every stop between
washington and San Francisco. Ev-
cry speech will give large and earn
est consideration and advocacy 10
the shipping bill. In public and pri-
vate Intercourse with his fellow c:tl-
zens the storm center of the white
house will endeavor to get his cue fc:
further action.
When he returns to Washington he
will know more of the popular will
than he does now. The West grain,
the Central corn and the Southern
cotton will speak to him every day.
He will have juster estimate OF Just
how much and how far the people
arc with him in his appeal for ships
and transportation for their stuff
And when Mr.. Wilson returns to
Washington he will have made up his
mind between two courses. whether
TO call his extra session .of the o4th
congress on May 5. or on September
Is,
On one or other of these days that
extra session is sure to come.
If public opinion speaks SO loua
and so prompt as to reach the ear
of congress within month, then the
roll call of the 64th congress will re
ready on May 5. If apathy falls upon
the public mind with. the adjourn
ment of congress and the people 'ee I'm
Indifferent. then the president "lli
make more speeches all during the
summer. enlist his cabinet and the
most eloquent of his friends in night,
ing il out on the lines if it takes all
summer" and will call congress Tor
September Is.

Them in Fatherly Way.
REQUIRED TO BE GENTLEMEN.

not Stay in Navy.

circular letter in the nature of
heart TO heart talk TO midshipmen has
been sent each and every member of
the regiment at the Naval Academy
by Capt. Edward w. Eberle, the super
intendent of the institution.
In the letter Captain Eberle places
before the midshipmen their status as
students and gives many valuable sug-
gestions in shaping their career. Cap
tain Eberle began his letter by saying
that The superintendent wishes to
present few ideas to you as a means
of becoming acquainted, and to serve
as your individual guide and sailing
directions" Continuing tie letter says:
The heart of the navy is the battle
feet, and all other naval institutions
are secondary or auxiliary to this great
feet The Navy Department. with its
bureaus for administration and policy;
the Naval Academy for supplying Off
GERS: the training stations for supply
ing men; the navy yards, gun factory.
torpedo station. proving grounds, etc.
for supplying material-eoncentra all
their efforts to maintain an efficient
battle fleet
Therefore, the ideas developed in
the feet are the ideas which should
prevail here as our guide in educating
the commissioned personnel, just as
they serve as a guide in training the
enlisted personnel and in manufacture
ing the material. The Naval Academy
is very important part of the naval
establishment, and the heart interest
of every officer in the navy is closely
associated with his alma mater
The first purpose of this institution
is to turn out officers and gentlemen
and leaders of men. In order to pos
sess these qualifications you must be
true and honest to yourself, and true
and honest to your shipmates and fell
low men, including those under whom
YOU serve and those who serve under
you. l cannot recall single man of
my time at Annapolis who was known
as a bully or as a violator of regula-
tions. who has not gone by the board.
They could not stand the test of serv-
ice in the navy"
