The Eyes of the Fleet.

Continuing the program of naval de-
velopment started by orders for the
construction Of thirty-two war vessels
to bring the Nations first line of de-
fense to closer approximation of the
ratio under the London treaty, the
President has approved the expenditure
Of 1882 900 for the construction of 200
aifplanes for the naval service. These
planes will be, in fact, a part of the
new equipment provided for in the list
Of ship constructions, bringing the total
outlay to s247, ,382, 900.
A modern navy is not a competent
fighting force without "eyes." Airplanes
are the "eyes" of the navy. They are
the scouts, the searchers Without
them the feet is blind. With them the
fleets efficiency is extended immeas-
urably. With an adequate air force,
borne by carriers, they defend the feet
and detect the movements of the enemy
m sufficient season to prepare for battle.
Not only are the planes essential for
this purpose, but they also add to the
offensive force Of the fleet, being
capable of infiicting injury upon an
approaching foe.
While planes are more quickly con-
stfucted than ships, their provision
should not be delayed, should not be
undertaken In emergency. The planes
and their carriers must be regarded as
components Of the fleet, and therefore
FABRICATED, manned and put into service
simultaneously with the Navy units.
They must be ready for incorporation
Into the fleet when the surface units
are placed In commission so that they
may participate in training maneuvers.
THESE undertakings OF both ship con-
suuction and plane production are q
satisfactory assurance of q policy of
naval development toward the point
now set by international agreement as
the relative size and strength of the
American Navy. They are doubly valu-
able In that they are an advance toward
the end Of adequate naval defense and
the stimulation Of employment in the
industries Of the country.

rance on the part of Congress" main
tains the Oklahoma City Times. while
the effect on business Is emphasized
by the Providence Bulletin, with the
conclusion that "the revolt has tended
to revive the nervousness which acts
like drain upon confidence" The
Springfield (Mass.) Republican argues
that ''the annoying and disquieting
feature of the Generalization Of Con-
tress is its lack Of stability in last
minute attempt to reverse O policy
which it had overwhelmingly approved
less than three months ago with o Ma
tons plaudits in its ears"
With favorable comment on vet
Grams suffering from direct service
connected disability" the Baltimore
Sun feels that "the very necessities Of
this group ought to make 1t evident
that a government In financial dif1-
culties cannot 60 on pouring out money
for the support of other groups whose
claims are not traceable to military
service" The Morgantown Dominion
News asserts: "A major purpose of
the economy program has been so to
free the pension rolls of those favored
by inexcusable legal 'presumptions' and
mdefensible legislation awarding pen
sions to men who came from the wars
able-bodied, as to leave enough money
IN the Treasury properly to discharge
the Nations obligation to those who
suffered from their war experience"
That disabilities received In service
should be the only basis for compen-
sation is the belief of the Haverhill
Gazette and the Oakland Tribune and
the Santa Monica Outlook holds that
pensions should not be paid for
physical defects that did not develop
Tor hve years or more after the war"
The Boise Udaho) Statesman charges
Congress with a breach of faith. The
Charleston Is. O. Evening Post fears
that the great body of civil servants
OF the Government may be the next
to bite huge chunk out Of the econ
omy loaf"
Presenting different point of view
In the countrywide discussion of the
issues involved in this dispute, the
Akron Beacon-Journal says: The fact
IS that there has been no effort to
give the budget more than the appear
ance of being balanced. This is done
by fancy bookkeeping, which separates
purely operating costs from so-called
capital and debt service charges. The
latter embrace the enormous OUTLAY
Tor public works, farm relief, home and
farm loan bills, and the emergency
expenditures which will be set up
under the industrial recovery bill, to
be financed largely by prosperity loans.
Blaming the soldiers for putting the
budget out OF keller, and alarming the
country with threats of added taxa
tion, Is an affront to public intelligence
and unworthy Of an administration
which hitherto has been shooting
pretty square, and for that reason in
spirlng public confidence"

and watched the procession OF people
along the pavement to their daily en-
ployment In ONCE bxildings. shops and
stores has missed one Of the most fasci-
mating spectacles to be experienced any
where.
The big parade" Of wartime is. provi-
dentially. only an occasional business.
It takes place only when kings and
premiers go mad. when statesmen turn
savage, when unreason runs riot in the
earth. But the real "big parade" Of
industry Is a phenomenon of ordinary
life. 1t happens every morning Of the
working week It Is universal, not
limited to any single geographical area.
It happens in Peking and Calcutta, In
Toxic and Constantinople, as well as
in London and Paris, New York and
Washington. Up comes the sun, out
come the people. That Is the law.
1t is as regular as the ebb and now
Of the tides. Indeed, it reproduces
exactly the same rhythm. 1t is metri-
cal, in that regard, kind of unwritten.
silent music.
Just now the difficulty is that the
marchers in the "big parade" to work
are not as numerous as they should be.
The depression has interfered with the
procession. Men and women perforce
stay at home when they much rather
would be tramping with their comrades
in the go-to-work army. But indica-
tions are that soon the ranks will swell.
A brighter sun than ever, many believe,
is rising and bigger parade than any
that ever has moved before will respond
to the new opportunity, march out to
the tasks Of the new day. That, in any
case, is the hope Of earnest statesmen
Of all nations, all parties. II their
optimism is justified, the biggest parade
the world ever has seen will Journey
out of sorrow into Joy, out of defeat
into victory, and new age will open
for the children of earth.
The individual can do little, but ct
least he must not hold back. It is said
that they also serve who only stand
and wait" Perhaps the sentiment might
be amended to read land cheer"

Move to Rush Paving
At Managua Praised.


La Noticia, Managua.-There Is now
being debated in authoritative circles
of the capital the commendable initia-
tive of Don Constantine with refer
ence to accelerating street paving and
sanitation at Managua. This is a
splendid Indictment, and one by which
unanimous and vigorous support. we
trust, will soon be brought to success
full elimination.
The only observation which 1t Is pos
sible at present to make about the
project Is that it constitutes q plan
expensive, and will affect virtually every
part OF the city. For 1t Is most re-
grettable fact that even such sections
Of pavement as already exist, not 70
mention the limited areas supplied with
running water, are In so deplorabie q
condition as regards both surface ana
piping that there is not much prefer
ment Of the improved over the unim-
proved districts Of the city.
The new works projected tor the
capital are to be betrayed from l2f2
per cent-some say Is per cent-of the
customs receipts obtained over period
of two years. The deviation in the esti-
mate Is due to the fact that the Con-
gress has not yet decided whether TO
include In their appropriation funds
ADEQUATE to reconstruct the national
edifices destroyed In the terrible earth
quake two years ago.
There is feeling in some quarters
that II both reservations cannot pe
provided for within the period contem.
plated, then the public buildings should
be erected first and the paving deferred
until there Is greater accumulsron
of funds In the fiscal exchequer.
It Is our opinion, however, that good
streets and a better water supply are
the primal requisites, and that the
buildings will be erected upon foun-
dation not soon again to be disturbed
when these basic essentials are salts
factorily established.
It is logical that the matter should
be engaging so much attention at this
time, for the second anniversary OF the
frightful earthquake which destroyed
Managua is but lately passed. Our be-
loved archbishop, Msgr. Lezcano, and
all his clergy have Just celebrated q
requiem mass for the repose Of the
souls which entered eternity In that
awful disaster. Their tombs In the
Cementtrio General are yet hidden
completely with the floral tributes OF
our whole populace.

ARE WE MORE RECKLESS9

North Dakota had the lowest motor
vehicle death rate in the union In
1882, S.S deaths per 100000 OF popu-
lation. the National Safety Council
reports. Minnesota's ratio was 20.52
deaths per 1000 inhabitants.
What is the matter? Do our wes-
tern neighbors know more about driv-
ing cars than We? There is some
thing wrong when we, in this state,
kill three people to one for North
Dakota. 1t might be that our con-
gested narrow pavements have some
thing to do with this ratio, but if this
is the case then double caution should
be eXerted.
This double caution can be observed
and without any great degree of loss
of time too Did you ever drive on
the pavement when thick fog hung
over it? Did you ever drive on 1t
when a coating of sleet made driving
exceedingly difficult? If you have
you will readily know what care peo-
pie can take when they are constantly
aware of a danger. But just thaw
IIldl ice Ill pldCcS oohiS
strips where it still covers the pave
ment and see the mad driving of some
who use the highways. This would
go to show that people get in too
much of a hurry on the good strips
of road and forget the necessity of
keeping their cars always in control.
A good thing to remember, especi-
ally i'm the winter time, is the race
between the turtle and the rabbit.
Remember how the rabbits speed was
of no avail to him because he stopped
and slept while the turtle with his
persistent schedule enabled him to
get to his destination first. This
holds true somewhat with an auto
mobile driver. 1t is no uncommon
thing to travel at a speed of from 40
to As miles per hour and see an auto
pass going at so to 60 and then
catch this same auto while the driver
is repairing or changing tire or at
some garage. This would go to show
that the slower persistent speed is
more saving on the car with less re-
sultant loss of time due to tire or
other mechanical trouble, and more
important, less accidents and less loss
of life and limb.
