Fighting Brain is
 Feature of New
 U. $. Dreadnaught

New York, June 3.-The super dearnaught Tennessee biggest and most formidable fighting ship afloat, went into commission at the New York navy yard today.
 Rear Admiral Mcdonald, command ant of the yard, read the ten word order which put the great craft into commission.
 "You will place the Tennessee in commission on June B."
 Captain R. H. Leigh then read a nine word order from Secretary of the Navy Daniels:
 "YOu will take command of the Ten nessee when commissioned"
 Captain Leigh took command with the battlcship's crew at salute and q band struck up the Star Spangled Banner and the ceremony was oyer.
 Constructed at cost of $20,O00, 900 she represents the last word in bat tleship architecture. She is 625 feet long, has beam of 98 feet and dis placement of 32,500 tons. She is the next thing to a pleasure yacht in the comfort of her appointments for of- ficers and men. She is the first bat tleship to recruit her entire personnel from the state from which the ship takes it name, and she represents ad- vantages taken from lessons learned in the battle of Jutland and other inn portant naval battles of the world war.
 A special feature, which distinguish es the Tennessee from all other units of the United States navy is the high ly organized fighting brain enclosed in a steel fort near the top of the foremast Here are concentrated devices for observing enemy ships, a device not known in the battle of Jut- land, enabling the crew to quickly ascertain the position of the enemy craft,

 What Senator Edge has said of this investigation not only is true but it is also true of practically every other inquiry that has been conducted dur ing the past few months.

It was just as good game as anyone would want to see. The treasurer took in $46, less than eteugh to pay the expenses of the Stuttgart team. Pine Bluff has q good ball club. The teams that have played here are about equal in calibre and the games so far have been worth the seeing. The young men who make up the4ine Bluff team receive noth- ing for their services. They play for the sport and all they want is to make enough on the games to pay expenses. Pine Bluffians haven't been support ing this team as they should. It de- serves greater amount of interest than is being shown in it.

THE UNPOPULARITY OF TAXA
 ALTON.

Two striking instances appear m the days news of the fact that few members of society from the highest to the lowest pay taxes willingly and that if taxation were left to the Will of the taxpayers governments would perish because of lack of support, says the Commercial-Appeal One of these was in the decision of the United States supreme court declaring invalid the provision of the income tax law making it applicable to the members of the court and to the pres ident of the country. The other was the overwhelming vote of the farmers of the country against a special tax on land valued at over $10,000. Ethi- cally one should have as much right as the other to exempe themselves from their share of governmental du- ties. although at law a different as pect, no doubt, can be placed on the matter.
 Constitutionally there may be bar against the president with salary ot $75,OOO year and members of the supreme court with salaries of $l4,50O each paying portion of this for governmental upkeep, but it will De hard to convince the single man, who is paid over $1,000 yearly or the mar ried man with an income over $2,DOO of the justice of such discrimination No doubt the exemption of the SUI preme court will make all of it's rul- ings on the income tax more imper- sonal, but is this sufficient justlfica- tion? Can there be any questioning the fact that congress in eXemptlng it's members from the income tax and the supreme court in claiming the same exemption have set bad exam pie to the country?
 We know that under our scheme of government all power ultimately reposes in the people themselves, and l the question is what would happen to the government if the people were to follow in the footsteps of thell highest legislative and judicial au thorities.

Daniels Tells New Officers of Value
 of Originality

Annapolis, Md, June 3.-Upon the spirit and will of it's officers to cast off slavery to tradition" and ven tu,e into the realm of things new and untried depends the future strength and efficiency of the Am erican navy secretary, Daniels, told the graduating class at the naval academy here today in presenting diplomas to it's 2S9 members.
 Citing as an object lesson the na- vy's record of resourcefulness in the world war ,as best exemplified in the North Sea barrage, the secre- tary delivered an earnest appeal to the young officers not to let the weight of accepted theories restrain their efforts to keep American sea power at the forefront in strategy and invention.
 "No two wars were ever won by the same. tactics and few by the same weapons. The secretary declared "the military leader of the future may navigate his ship by radio"

 Another important feature in the construction of the Tennessee IS her electrical control of speed, enabling her to quickly change from her ca pacity speed of 21 knots to an almost imperceptible motion. This is con- sidered an important point from the standpoint of manuevering.
