THE DEATH OF ADMIRAL DEWEY

Representative of the most auda-
cious type Of American fighters, the
death Of Admiral Dewey, who for
years has been the chief advisor Of
the naval policy Of this country, is a
distinct loss.
His life on shore has probably
been worth more TO his country than
his exploits in the wars OF his
country but Americans remember
him as the man who calmly steamed
into Manila harbOr, took sporting
chance, and blew up the Spanish
ships. His remarkable exploit with
the bumptiOus German admiral shows
him in a light which Americans al
ways will admire.
His funeral was worthy tribute
to his life, and the walJ distinguished
officers Of this government paid tri-
butte to him was an at;estation Of his
worth. He stands as the exemplifi-
cation Of the man who does things,
and our nation, as we'll as its people,
is a worshipper of that type Of man,
whsther he be sea-ii lighter or ei-
william.
