SWIM MING
AND FIGHTING.

Here's a little sermon on prepared
ness from the New York Sun:
I'VE take it to be beyond dispute
that nobody ought to learn to swim.
Man being a terrestrial animal, It is
impossible that he should ever find
himself in water beyond his depth.
Time and money spent in learning the
art of swimming are therefore sheer
waste-just as much so as If spent in
military training. Obviously there is
no more chance of a mans being
drowned than there Is of having to
fight for his country"
1t sounds ridiculous enough-as the
Sun meant that 1t should. But there
are people who talk just as ridiculous
ly about military preparedness.
If there is any class OF Americans
more absurd than the jingoes who
clamor for the biggest army and navy
In the world, It's the pacifists who are
so perfectly sure that there will never
again be any need of fighting for our
country.

Some people are of such small intel.

Some people are Of such small intel
lectual calibre that they can never
learn that it is impossible to exalt
themselves by trying to defame and
malign others. Such are to be pitied
rather than censured, for they reap
the crops they sow. This is evidenced
in an unhappy. envious individual who
divides his time in throwing mud at
the Independent, and calamity bowling
at time when the country is enjoying
the most prosperous era in its history.
Perhaps there is personal reason for
the wall Of distress, but the fact that
none OF the mud hit the intended mark
is evidenced in the fact that the In
dependent has continued to grow aud
prosper until its sworn circulation is
four times as large as 1t was a year
ago, and 1t is twice as large as any
other daily paper in Eastern Nevada.

"STuDY TRUST"
AT ANNAPOLIS,

The reason for the recent failure Of
one-fourth of the midshipmen at An.
napolis to pass their mid-year exami-
nations has been explained. And It's
a ueer explanation. The middies, it
appears, had organized study

not in contrayention OF the Sherman
law, was plain infringement Of pa
triotic obligation.
II appears that the demand for a
larger navy which arose last year con.
vinced the middies that they would
all be needed as officers, that Uncle
Sam simply couldn't do without them
and would have to give them commits.

and proceeded to discourage all hard

scientiously, the idlers found means TO

he usually fell into line. Thus the
scholarship OF the academy was sadly
lowered.
But the boys reckoned without their

THE GREAT
CIvILIZ TER.

What Europe needs is baseball
This conviction Ia driven home by
Professor Taft's speech delivered on
the fortieth anniversary of the Ma.
tional League of Professional Baseball
Clubs.
When the ex-president was cover.
norgeneral of the Philippines, he ex.
plains, he recognized the need of some
ciyllizing and unifylDg influence
among the natives. They were an un.
regenerate lot, with their tribal feuds,
their piracy and border raids and their
incessant rebellion against the govern.
ing power. The Igorrotes were the
worst OF all, because Of their pencbant
for head.hunting.
So GovernorGeneral Taft, after ma.
ture reflection, introduced the Ameri
can game of baseball, 1t was an utter
novelty in the Philippines, as II is yet
In most parts Of the world And the
natives took to II with amazing ~.

MoDEsTY
AND LAW.

Capt w. NJ. Meyers OF the Virginia
legislature introduced an amendment
to bill on public morals, reading as
follows
THAT no female shall appear In
public within this Commonwealth with
skirt which does not reach within
four inches of the ground, with q waist
or bodice which exposes more than
three inches of the chest or back and
that no transparent skirt shall be
worn"
Mr.. Speaker" said Capt Meyers, in
defense of his amendment, complete
nudity is more decent than the sill
houettes one sees in the summer time
when the women walk up and down
the streets of this CITY, Nudity would
disgust, while the silhouettes corrupt
and destroy public morals"
The amendment was voted down.
Sumptuary legislation of any sort Is
usually a joke and never successful
Also, any new style is likely to cause
attention to the human form, male or
female, FOR brief space until the eye
grows used to it. Long skirts are just
E3 "immodest" after a period of short
ones as low necks after collar period.
Granted that the silhouette skirts
were worn only by very silly women,
and that the men OF Virginia need pro.
lection from such stiffness, there is
likely to be more help from the FEEDER.
alton of Women's Clubs which is soon
to start out q vigorous campaign for
clothing which is artistic instead OF

legislation. Instead OF banning any
particular style, the women's clubs
will promulgate principles of beautiful
and sensible clothing. This is con.
structlve and comes from the right
quarter. "

The Igorrotes, in their zeal for batting
and chasing the sphere. lost their taste
for cutting off the heads Of people
they disliked. Soon the islands were
full OF fans" and in some cases old
racial and tribal feuds were fought
out in baseball tournaments. Where
ever the great American sport came
in, the blood-lust went out.
This seems to account, in part at
least, for our own love of peace. We
work off our belligerency at baseball
games. When our team wins. we fell

MORE REASONS
FOR MORE SHIPS.

Germany's threat to treat all armed
merchantmen as warships, and attack
them without warning, adds new zest
to the movement for adequate mer-
chant marine. 1t Is evident that, II
Great Britain and her allies refuse to
take the guns off their commercial
vessels, and Germany carries out her
purpose, there will be no safety at sea
for American property or life except
on neutral ships. And as everybody
knows, the supply of such craft is far
too small to take care Of our big
foreign commerce.
Our own merchant fleet is growing
steadily, but not rapidly enough.
American capitalists still hesitate to
invest money in ocean shipping. And
yet, as William d. Macy of the New
York and Cuba Mail Steamship Com.
pany points out, conditions are now
tremendously in favor of Americans
going into the shipping business.
THE war has brought the price of
labor in Europe up to the American
standard" he says. land we can there
fore build ships at approximately the
same cost as the Europeans can" AS
matter of fact, all our shipyards are
now busy with building orders; but
we ought to have more shipyards-
and then more orders.

No real newspaper attempts to color
its news items to harmonic with its
editorial policy. For instance, our
sympathies are with Servia, and we
would favor the policy OF restoring
that country to peace with all her for
mer possessions, still II in our daily
telegraph 1t were announced that
Servia had surrendered and laid down
her arms, we would publish the fact
as matter of news to which the pub
lie would be entitled. While our SYM
pathies and policy would in no wise
be affected, some designing nincom-
poop would probably try to make it
appear to the contrary. Such tactics
however, never mislead the public.

WHY BE A PRESIDENT

Mike Gibbons has earned 100000
in three years in the ring. He got
about $40 a second for his less-than-
a-minute knockout over Young Ahearn.
Tod Sloan earned nearly $1,00O,000
in one year as a jockey.
Christy Mathewson has amassed a
fortune of 100000 through his con-
nection with baseball.
Jess Willard hasn't been champion
a year, yet he has earned about $780,
900, working on an average of two
hours per day.
While, on the other mitt, we find
Woodrow Wilson laboring eight, ten,
twelve, and sometimes ii hours a day
for a paltry $4,000!

In the Reno Journal of this morning
Is long article relative to Senator
Pittman's bill granting 100000 acres
of land to Nevada for school purposes
and the reply Of the Senator TO a
vicious newspaper attack on the bill.
After assuming that Senator Pittman's
reply was leveled at the Journal, much
explanation is offered to show that
that paper Is in favor of the passage
OF the measure. This gives rise to a
very amusing situation which has
local interest. Another paper has as
sumed that the Senator's reply was
leveled at it! Ye Gods, what next?
It looks like case of two very guilty

EDISON
ON ALCOHOL.

ON ALCOHOL.
Thomas A. Edison, who besides be-
ing our greatest inventor Is probably
Americas leading sage. took occasion
on his sixty-ninth birthday to solve the
liquor problem.
He is against alcohol on principle,
because as a scientist interested In eff
ficiency he has become convinced
from careful observation that it keeps
men from doing their best work. But
he isn't fanatical about it. He recog-
nizes the weaknesses and limitations
Of the human animal. And so, while
he believes in prohibition as the ulti-
mate goal, and believes that the whole
world Is swinging toward 1t, he would
not try to force matters by harsh
measures. He would taper off grad
ually.
You can't take alcohol away from
man all at once" he says. IF you do,
he'll resent 1t. Beer has about 4 per-
cent of alcohol. Cut down the per-
centage to or TX percent. Let men
drink that for twenty years, and then
cut 1t down to per cent Cut out all
whisky and strong alcoholic drinks at
once"
His plan is based on the theory that
every mans stomach is about the
same size, and that beer with per-
cent alcohol won't make man drunk
because he can't get enough of 1t into
his stomach at once. "a man gets
merry on a little alcohol, but more
makes him ugly. Cut down the al.
cohol, and he will not get ugly" And
when he has become reconciled todhe
milder beverage. and lost his craving,
twould be an easy and natural .transi.
ton to teetotalism.
