A TWENTY-FIVE PER
CENT FAILURE.

From the daily papers of last week we
learn that one fourth of the cadets q t
Annapolis Naval school which supplies
officers for the U. S. Navy, failed in their
examinations and will be asked to go
home unless the Secretary of the navy
interferes md gives them another trial.
We do not know much about the met
hods practised at Annapolis, but We do
know something about school teaching,
and we make the assertion that in any
school whe her 1t be university, col
lege, a high school or little country
district school, when one fourth of the
pupils fail, that the conclusion is newt.
able that the failure is due to the teach
ers.
1t would be very extraordinary mat.
ter for any such wholesale failure of
pupils in any of the ordinary high schools
of learning; it is therefore all the more
extraordinary to hear this of such a
picked body as the students at the Ma.
val Academy. A large proportion of
them are selected by competitive ex-
aminations, and the examination for
entrance is said to be difficult. Each
one admitted not only has to stand a
mental examination but must also be
physically perfect. Hence, such physi-
cally and mental strength ought to be
more successful in their tasks than the
ordinary run of students.
We have the Secretary of War as
authority for the statement that Just
now what the army needs most IS train
ed officers and we suppose this is equally
true of the navy.
"The mills of the gods grind slowly
but they grind exceedingly tine." Pos.
sibly, our two military and naval mills
in the attempt to grind out exceedingly
fine officers are grinding rather too slow.
ly. II the meal were bit coarser and
the quantity greater it might better fill
the vital needs of the bodies of the army
and navy.

A N0N-PARTlsAN LEAGUE?

There is in this state an organized
body of voters, said to be 10000 in num-
ber, who have each paid in the sum of
six dollars as membership fee, which
organization goes by the name of the
''Non- Partisan League" This body has
a board of directors and presi-
dent. The organization ls political snd
their expressed purpose is to hold eau.
cuses and conventions and these con-
ventions to select from such candidates
as may be nominated by the regular
parties and may seem to be the best in
the consideration and choice of these
non-partisan political conventions, and
uote for such selected candidates.
The platform planks of this new organ.
ization might be condensed into the
statement. that bankers, railroads ETC.,
are enemies to the farmers and that is
the duty and in the power Of the farmers
to select and elect men to state and leg
islative positions that will take special
care of the interests of the farmers as a
class.
We suggest that the name Of non. par.
tisan" is in itself q misnomer.
The organization is self-evidently a
party and political party. In fact 1t
has far more complete organic.
alton and it's purpos as party more def.
initely stated than has any other politi.
cal party in the state.

"A number Of persons united in opinion
or action as distinguished from or op.

CHAPTER XIII
Exodus

In the Yellowstone National park
there is an apparently bottomless pit
which can be instantly transformed in
to spouting, roaring Vesuvius of boil
ing water by the simple expedient Of
dropping bar of soap into it.
The Spotlight went to press at three
o'clock. BY the earliest graying of
dawn, and long before the sun had
shown itself above the eastern Timan-
yonis, Brouillard's bar of soap was
melting and the Mirapolitan nnder-
depths were beginning to heave. Like
wildfire, the news spread from lip to
lip and street to street, and by sunrise
the geyser was retching and vomiting.
belching debris Of cries and maledic-
tions, and pouring excited and riotous
crowds into Chigringo avenue. :
Most naturally, the Spotlight office
was the first point of attack. and Har-
Ian suffered loss. though it was incon-
siderable. At the battering down Of
the doors the angry mob found itself
confronting the young reclamation
service chief and four members Of his
staff, all armed. Brouillard spoke
briefly and to the point.

you have anything to say to me you
know where to find me. Now, move
on and let Mr.. Harlan's property alone
or somebody will get hurt"
Nobody stayed to press the argu-
ment at the moment. An early-morn-
irg mob is proverbially incoherent and
incohesive; and, besides, loaded Win
chesters in the hands of five deter
mined men are apt to have an elo-
quence which is more or less con-
vincing.
But with the opening of business the
geyser spouted again. The exchanges
were mobbed by eager sellers, each
frenzied struggler hoping against hope
that he might find someone simple
enough to buy. At ten o'clock the bank
