Buried the Hatchet.

That the Marines and bluejackets Of
Uncle Sans Navy have buried the
Ratchet and there is now only the
kindliest feeling between the enlisted
men of the Navy and the enlisted men
of the Marine Corps, was evidenced at
p banquet rendered Gunner's Mates
Charles +. Hills and Robert Conroy by
the Marine Detachment of the q. s.
). New York, at Guantanamo, Cuba,
the other evening.
The naval gunners were presented
with handsome gold watches BY the
Marine Corps boys, and the speakers
of the evening took for their theme
the new relationship between the en-.
listed men of the two branches.
In the old days of wooden sailing
ships there was considerable jealousy
and ill-feeling betwixt the blueiackets
and Marines. but since the advent of
the modern man-o'war that feeling
has entirely disappeared and the men
of the two branches now live aboard
ship in perfect peace and harmony.
Joint shore operations at Vera Cruz
and Hayti have brought about an even
better understanding between the men,
the officers declare.

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There's only one way to cure catarrh-
al deafness, and that IS by constitu-
itonal remedy Catarrhal deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucuous lining of the Eustachian
Tube When this tube is infamed you
have q rumbling sound CT imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result. Unless the in
fammation can be reduced and this
tube restored to it's normal condition

Many cases Of deafness are caused by
catarrh. which is an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces. Halls
Catarrh Cure acts through the blood on
The mucous surfaces Of the system.

is not an excessive power. and while there is
10 doubt the Office OF Chief Executive displays
autocratic aspects, it is not more autoeratc
than it ought to be. both to sustain itself and
for the good OF the government in general
The Dresden, may be called a despot by
those who see mt so 10 designate him Blu.
such despotisn is essential TO the mechanism
OF our government. It may be argued that the
President has the power TO bring on war II ne
will. but so may also any official II he will, any
army or navy officer, even any private citizen,
who, fox instance, embarks upon ship which
promises or is likely 70 be sunk by bellg
crent
Such autocracy as this--or autocracy 70
such a degree-is not contrary 70 our national
ideals. This is not true democracy, but
merely a type of representative government.
True democracy is only possible when every
citizen governs, or rather, exercises his al
lotted share OF direction. This arrangement
Can only be made effective when the state is
very small. 1t could not be adopted By the
United States.
Il think our form OF government is pretty
good one. 1t has proved sufficient to the needs
OF the country. l do not believe in slte alton
to suit every eXigcncy. Nothing is gained by
constantly changing and patching In the final
analysis the rule OF nation becomes matter
Of personality At bottom it is always the man
and not the machine which must be rccEoned
with.
1T has been suggested that the English sys-
tenn OF government would be ar Improvement
over our own and ought to be adopted for this
country 1t is claimed that in England the
Cabinet, having direct executive control dis
plays a salutary division Of power and that
the Cabinet precludes the possibility OF any
individuals getting control OF tie state. But
this is far from true. The British Premier has
power very nearly matching that of our Presi-
dent He is virtually the ruler OF the state,
SO that the need OF single head is thus elo-
quenty proclaimed TO be fundamental need.
'As matter Of fact, many Of those who are
readest now to protest that the Presidential
Office is TOO powerful have been striving 10
heap upon that Office a degree OF autocracy
which would be distinct menace. refer TO
the agitation over the proposed budget system
for this country. A tremendous amount of
misinformatior and non-informstion exists in
regard to the meaning of budget system;
and with this as foundation upon which TO
build it is impossible TO credit those most
ardently in favor OF swinging over TO that
method Of obtaining appropriations for ma
tonal expense with any clear idea of what
the result would be should the budget system
actually be adopted"

Great Opportunities Abroad

can industrial productivity may be dissent
mated all over Europe Our scheme being OF
broad scope, it must be worked out on broad
lines Our desire is to have the plan settled
as soon as possible. so that we can at once
proceed to arrange 70 meet with hrms and
companies that perceive the economy and far
sightcdness OF forming trade relations with
neutral countries at this time"
The commission has conferred with the ma
tional Department Of Commerce at Washing
ton, receiving from that department assurances
OF hearty cooperation. Mr.. Benden and Mr..
Pfanstiehl will tour the Eastern and Middle
Western states, putting their scheme before
the business men OF the principal cities
through the mediumship OF local chambers OF
commerce.
Our vis, is not noisy advertising cam
paign," declared Mr.. Pfanstchl. We are
deeply in earnest and believe there IS great
work 10 be done. The American Export Cham
ber Of Commerce at Amsterdam thought 1t an
opportunc time TO send a commission qualified
to represent for one thing, the present trade
situation in Holland. Holland has wisely and
quite remarkably kept neutral. AS such. as
neutral nation, She IS peculiarly adapted to
the uses OF American export trade.
Il suppose need rot tell you there is
peculiar opportunity opened to American man
ufacturers. The advantage OF establishing
close commercial relations with Holland
with Holland as Europc's clearance port
hardly needs emphasizing. However, there
IS one evil which will have 10 be overcome u
America is &c gain permanent foothold
abroad. Rather there are two evils 70 be
overcome. and both have TO do With the
American methods OF selling to foreign buy
ers First tho obcctional method OF cash be
fore documents. and, second, the insistence
uDon meeting the buyer.
