Colonel Herberts Timely Discussion

COlOnel deTDeTCS 5 lIheiy DisSuSoAo'
 No discussion relating to the na- tional defense has attracted more at tention than that of Col. Hilary A. Herbert in his recent article prepared for the New York Times. Like all clear-thinking patriots and broad yisioned statesmen, Colonel Herbert is in hearty accord with the administra- tion's national preparedness pro- gramme; and as few men can speak with such distinct authority on the history of this country's naval estab- lishment as he, his views can but have far-reaching influence.
 To the younger generation Colonel Herbert is best known as Secretary of the Navy in President Cleveland's second administration, but it was as chairman of the naval committee of the House of Representatives during Cleveland's first term that he played a memorable part in the building of the new navy.
 After the civil war the navy was reduced to 115 vessels in commission, and few of those were of any practical value. In 1881, Secretary William A.. Hunt, realizing the need of modern navy, appointed an advisory board to determine the requirements. That board recommended 21 armored ves- sels besides 70 unarmored and de- clared that the material of construction should be steel. But there was not a plant in the United States capable of producing forgings for guns of more than 6-inch calibre or one able to make armor plate. Little or no prog ress, therefore, was made in the early years of the eighties.
 The United Stats navy was regarded by everybody as joke. But Mir. Cleve- land entered the presidential office determined to make substantial start on a navy that would in time cause the United States to rank high as sea power. This was one of his fixed policies.
 Many of the democrats in Congress were afraid the "dear people" would not approve large appropriations for the building of modern vessels. Some of the leaders were adverse to any substantial increase in naval eXpendi- lures; and on the House committee Colonel Herbert was the only one who was ready to stand shoulder-to- shoulder with the administration. It was because he was whole-heartedly in favor of the Presidents policy that he was made chairman. But for Col onel Herbert's earnest and effective service the administrators plans and purposes would have been seriously baked.
 In 1887, during Colonel Herberts $ chairmanship, contracts were signed with the Bethlehem Iron company for gun forgings and armor plates, and construction on the great naval gun factory at the Washington navy yard was begun. With his characteristic modesty Colonel Herbert never claimed any of the credit fol aiding in the rehabilitation ol the navy, but when history is writ ten it will be found that he, as wei as Cleveland and Secretary Whitney was entitled to signal honor.
 The navy has been developed stead fly since he retired from public life and returned to the practice of law but he sees that still larger navy is needed.
 In his eightieth year Colonel Her. bert is yet active and, being as muct interested in large questions of state

INDICATIONS OF
AN EARLY SPRING
Great Prosperity Ahead for
Western Canada.

The most recent advices from all
points in Western Canada report that
conditions are apparent for an early
spring. Farmers are going over the
implements, getting their seeders
ready for operation, the plows in shape
for extended breaking, and there is a
general optimism. A great many new
settlers have already arrived. and the
reports from Canadian Government
agents in the United States point TO
the fact that in few days there will
begin the usual emigration from va
rious OF the Central and Western
states. From the Eastern states tho
number OF farmers going TO Canada
will be greater than in any past year.
There has been fairly large snow
fall during the winter. which will
greatly add TO the precipitation OF
last fall. which in the opinion OF old
timers was In itself sufficient TO In
sure a good crop during the present
year.
There will be very little titled land
that will be without a crop this year.
The authorities. though, are pleading
with the farmers 10 seed only such
land as has had careful preparation. for
rich as is the soil OF Western Canada,
II is no more fitted TO produce good
crops uncultiyated than Is that OF any
other land anywhere else. There
have been accounts OF failures In some
portions OF the agricultural districts OF
Western Canada, and also reports OF
small yields in some districts. A good
deal OF this Is accounted for from the
fact that Notwithstanding the advice
OF men OF experience, there are farm
ers who will persist in seeding land not
properly prepared. This may be done
this year. but those who cultivate on
reasonable and logical methods will
be certain OF paying crop. There IL
every reason TO believe that the high
prices OF all kinds OF grain will con.
tinue.
With thousands and thousands OF
acres OF land waiting for the husband.

Seventy million dollars Is a con-

while In certain lines the increases

Therefore the results OF the demand
