William Fitz Osborne into whose pos

The Best Secretary of the Navy.

Recently Golfers Weekly had an
editorial in which it was charged
that Admiral Dewey's last days on
earth were made miserable by having
to sit on the job and interfere between
the Naval Board and the Secretary Of
the Navy, standing as it were bull
wark between the inexperienced and
bumptious secretary and the wise and
experienced board. The Admiral was
pictured by Golfers as an old man
who really didn't have anything to do
but who was bound down to his desk
because of the propensity of the Sec
retary of the Navy for interfering
with the wise Naval Board, etc. 1t
was one of the most severe indict-
ments of Secretary Daniels that we
have seen-the kind that makes
man writhe and wish that the manner
of settling affairs of this kind was
like it used to be and not like it is
now, for by the latter method the
Secretary of the Navy can do nothing
but grit his teeth and grind them.
Now, after the Admiral is dead and
buried, we have seen a letter made
public by his widow to the effect that
the Admiral regarded Secretary Dan
iels as the most able Secretary of the
Navy that he ever served under. This
is balm for Daniels feelings, no doubt,
but it would have been a great thing
if the aged Admiral had released this
bit of information in advance of his
demise. Not that we doubt its au-
thenticity. Personally we like Sec
retary Daniels. He is good fellow,
an alert newspaper man, and q fa-
nous after dinner speaker. But
somehow, we can't get it down that
he is great Secretary of the Navy
Golfers indictment was most severe,
and it had the same latent hatred of
the South in it that Golfers displays
when it tries not to show it. Dan
iels is from the South, Charlotte, N.
c., if you please. We regard it as
rather unfortunate that President Will
son made him Secretary of the Navy.
What business had he doing it? Yet,
we cannot agree with Golfers opin-
ion; we much prefer to believe that

for the readiness with which he lent
himself as tool of the crown to its
illegal executions. 1t is said that
public school education received it's re-
generation through Cowes man, who
was the first to teach school masters
to look upon pupils as moral and
spiritual beings with characters to be
nodded and souls to be trained. And
one of the foremost educators of la
ter day was lady of Cowes.
In spite of Fielding's sarcastic
statement that the Isle of Wight was
never converted to Christianity,
churches abound, and every one is
worth turning aside to see, from tiny
st. Lawrence on the southern coast
to vine-clad Whippington, designed by
the Prince Consort, and containing not
only the royal pews but the memorials
to Albert, Alice and Henry of Batten-
berg.
The people, descendants of q warlike
and courageous race who stood like
their own rocks and castles against
many rough siege, are sturdy and
trustworthy citizens of the kingdom.
They are hospitable and kind. In
deed, it is claimed that even the fair
les are all benefcent fairies, delight
ing in good rather than evil, and that
the ghosts with which every manor
house is supplied are order-loving and
helpful shades. In the speech of the
native sons we detect the survival of
number of fine old words familiar
to us only in the writings of Shakes
peare. They are people among
whom old customs are long preserved
and modernity has little place.
The present governor of the island
is a woman, the youngest daughter
of Queen Victoria, and the widow of
Henry of Battenberg, whom she sue
ceeded upon his death in South Afri-
ca. The affairs of state are, how
ever, chiefly administered through the
deputy governor, Mr.. Thomas Coch-
rane, whose residence is in the rcstor-
ed portion of Carisbrooke Castle.

To Get Best Results With Potatoes.

1t is amazing how few even good
cooks and still fewer housewives know
of the following aid in cooking:
Never put salt in the water when
boiling potatoes. When entirely done,
drain, shake in the air for a second,
then sprinkle generously with salt and
return to slow fire. This makes even
a poor variety palatable. If you doubt
1t, just try 1t once.-New York Sun.

A. P. JONES REPORTS BIG CROPS

Mr. and Mrs A. P. Jones are in the
city for brief visit with relatives and
friends. Mr. and Mrs Jones left their
home in Black River Falls early in
June and have been enjoying trip
through Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas, Missouri and Illinois, stopping
at different places in each state. One
of their most enjoyable experiences was
trip by steamboat from Hannibal,
Mo-, to Burlington, Iowa, passing
through the great lock in the big gov
ernment dam across the Mississippi
river at Keokuk.
The Democrat having asked Mr. Jones
for an expression Of his views on crop
prospects, ETC., he has given US the fol-
lowing for publication:
NATURALLY the people everywhere
are deeply interested in the war.
While they freely discuss Red Gross
work, the army, Y. M. G. A. and food
conservation, of the real and vital
issues Of the war they are not disposed
to talk much, but very evidently they
are doing lot of serious thinking. The
attitude of the people of Mineral Point
and vicinity is Identical with that
found in every locality throughout the
great central west.
Everywhere there is evidence of the
quick response by the people to the
Presidents appeal for increased food
productions and Of saving through the
elimination of waste. There are won
derful gardens and truck patches.
On the whole, crop conditions are
very satisfactory. Winter wheat is
turning out we'll where ever threshing
is being done. The governments last
crop estimate is conservative and will
be exceeded by the actual yield. Corn
is somewhat backward but the prospect
for big crop is excellent. There need
be no apprehension concerning the food
supply of the U. S. High prices have
encouraged productions and the same
high prices have compelled economy
where economy was not voluntary.
Extensive preparations are being made
for greatly increased acreage of win
ter wheat. The farmers are going to
do their bit bravely for Billion
Bushel' harvest in 1918. Pastures are
we'll filled although there are some
sections where there is greatly de-
creased number of native cattle and
the ranges of the southwest are being
drawn on extensively. Sheep have dis
appeared entirely from a great many
farms and there is every reason to be-
lieve that high prices for wool and
mutton will prevail much longer than
the present high prices for cattle and
hogs"
