copper, and running in value from
S35 to $100 per ton. They struck
the ore chute a couple of weeks ago,
and have been drifting on the vein
since that time, and it is now about
three feet in width, opening up from

EVERY MANS DUTY.

Why should the chief burden of defense be
lplaced on a few men who volunteer for enlist
ment, while the many that are eligible for mill
tary service are exempted by law or at least
under no compnlsion to serve until an emerg-
Iency arises that may call for conscriptlonF
The liberalization Of the national guard
does not answer this question, nor does it go
more than very small way toward solving the
army problem. It merely provides a compare
lively small additional force Of partly trained
soldiers difficult to mobilize in time OF need
and requiring an exasperatingly long time to
concentrate at any given point, as has been
demonstrated by the recent border troubles.
With the federalized national guard, as with
the regular army, it is case of placing the en-
tire burden on the few that are willing volun-
tarily to enlist The inequality, the unfaimess
and the undemocracy of it are at once apparent.
There is only one sound solution of the de-
Tense problem, and that is to be found in a sys-
tenn of universal military training similar to
that which prevails in Switzerland. This
would permit Of no Sinking of responsibilities
by those that were not disposed to discharge
their duty to their country in time of need.

Voice Of the People

THE Gate City does not assume re-
sponsibility for views expressed by
correspondents. Writers of commune
cations must furnish their names
not necessarily for publication, but
for the information of the editOr.]
Editor of The Gate City:
We, the people of this country, are
educated to have the best the world
can supply. We can afford and are
entitled to have the most powerful
navy in the world, because we are
the richest nation in the world-ex-
ceeding in wealth two hundred bill
lions of dollars. Therefore, let us
build naval ships to. the limit and
make scrap Of all other navies in the
world, because they respectively can
not bear the expense, and from pres
ent appearances will not combine for
centuries.
Let us follow the advice, based
upon the experience of lifetime of
our progressive admiral, George Dew
ey. and his experienced assistants in
the navy and construct the limit in
war craft. The Panama canal locks,
which limit the size of all ships, are
one thousand feet long and one hun
dred and ten feet wide, therefore the
limit will be nine hundred and nine
LYNNE feet long and one hundred
and FIVE feet wide, and be a sixty
thousand-ton ship and not a thirty
five-thousand-ton ship, like the Penn
sylvania and Arizona, at present the
largest in the world, which will car
ry sixteen twenty-inch guns and aux.
il1ary batteries that will throw two
thousand-pound shot thirty to thirty
five miles effectively and accurately,
because there would not be vibration
or movement in the heavist sea and
when firing a full battery one shell
would disable if not destroy the Penn
sylvania or Arizona; one broadside
would destroy New York City and
probably kill or disable half the peo-
pie therein. The Pennsylvania and
Arizona each cost fifteen millions of
dollars; the limit ship would cost
about thirty-five millions. The Penn
sylvania or Arizona could probably
be destroyed by three to five Of our
battle cruisers, while the limit ship
would destroy all cruisers within the
range Of its guns before they could
get in range with their guns. Adj
miral Dewey, Commander Moffitt
and all our naval officers learned
from the last naval battle in the
orth sea-Skagerrack-t the big
dreadnaughts were superior to all
classes Of warships. Why not build the
limit dreadnaughts and mot waste our
money and make scrap of the navies
OF the world? Lead the world and
not follow it.

DOING. G. Holland
AT THE LIMIT OF PATIENCE

While there is difference Of opinion re-
speeding the sum the so-caled eighthour law
will cost the railroads in higher wages paid to
four classes Of employees, there is agreement as
to who will pay the bill in the final settlement,
The public willpay, and its indignation will in
crease as all the possibilities concerning the
amount of the charge are understood. Presi-
dent Howard Elliott, Of She New York, New
Haven and Hartford road who is not given to
exaggeration, says that the increase in pay for
the same work will be at least sixty million
dollars year. But the extra burden which
the government has put upon the public may
prove to be much heavier than these figure:
indicate. 1t seems that since the enactment of
the new law the railway brotherhood leaders
and others have intimated that it means that
all railway employees will ultimately receive an
increase in wages similar to that provided for
the trainmen In that case, according to Mr..
Elliott, the total will be nearly three hundred
million dollars a year instead Of sixty million.
This is sum large enough to command the at
tention of the most careless observer of the
trend Of events
The public is patient. 1t has paid the cost,
because of this attitude, many times But
patience, under provocaton of great pressure
from the wrong direction, will certainly cease
to be one of our great American virtues. The
limit was reached when the government disre
garded the rights of the party paying the bill.

deplored the waste Of money which he saw PEG
