This year of 1884 is a year of
remarkably interesting centena-
ries, hi and tricentennials and
quadricentenaries.
Digging back through Mr..
Frank H. Vizetelly'S Standard
Dictionary and the department
which records the history of the
world by dates, one comes upon
events, rounding up their centu-
ries in this year of grace, which
make pictures, which stir the
imagination.
1t was just 400 years ago that
fernando Cortez and his mailed
Conquistadores arrived upon
their great Spanish war horses
in Lower California. 1t was
just 400 years ago that Jacques
Cartier raised the French flag
over Canadian soil. Four centu-
ries ago this year, Henry VIII,
King of England and Defender
of the Faith, broke away from
the old faith which had given
him his religious title and set up
faith of his own, the Church
of England.
Here are anniversaries OF
blazing events which changed
the history of the world. Three
and a half centuries ago this
year Sir Walter Raleigh received
from the fair hand of Queen
BesS a charter authorizing him
to establish colonies in the land
which he was to name Virginia,
and Maryland was founded just
800 years ago, and is enthuSl-
astically celebrating the fact.
Benjamin Franklin printed
his first book in Philadelphia
just 200 years ago; and $50
years back, this year, Columbia
University came into being,
from old Kings College.
One hundred and thirty years
ago two American statesmen
who had hated each other for
years were roWed in skiffS across
the Hudson River, climbed to
the plateau at Weehawken and
leveled pistols. One fell dying,
cur first Secretary of the Treas
ury, Alexander Hamilton.
The other walked away to
engage in one of the most fan
taStic conspiracies ever to be
born on American soil. His
name was Aaron Burr-Burr
the Unlucky-a fine soldier, a
great lawyer, but a most un-
successful politician.
Romney, the great English
painter, and Bobbie Burns, the
Scottish poet, were born 200
years ago. The War of 1912
ended 100 years ago, though
Andrew Jackson, fighting the
Battle of New Orleans and hav-
ing no notion what was going
on among the British and Amer
lean peacemakers at Paris, was
giving the Red Coats one of the
worst licking of their lives.
New York's first bank opened
its 0Oors exactly a century
and half ago and is still do
ing business.

A Second Cruise Desirable
By lanes T. Williams, r.

strike for many a year to come.
Should the President go to the
Philippines next year a review
of the United States fleet in
Manila Bay might we'll be the
high point of his cruise. Not
since the first President Roose-
welt sent the fleet around the
world has it been in Philippine
waters.
A cruise to the Philippines
next summer would afford a
timely and beneficial maneuver
for the fleet. 1t would be hearth
ly welcomed by the Philippine
people.
In Joseph Bishops interesting
book on Theodore Roosevelt
and His Time" is given a letter
written by the President to
Elihu Root, his Secretary Of
State, under date of Oyster Bay,
July 13, 1907, in which Mr..
Roosevelt said:
Il am more concerned over the
japanese situation than almost
any other. Thank Heaven we
have the Navy in good shape.
1t is high time, however, that it
should go on a cruise around
the world. In the first place 1
think it will have a pacific eff
feet to show that it can be done;
and in the next place, after
talking thoroughly over the sit
uatiOn with the Naval Board,
became convinced that it was
absolutely necessary for us to
try in time of peace to see just
what we could do in the way Of
putting a big battle fleet in the
Pacific and not make the ex-
pertinent in time of war"
Round the World
The Fleet went from Norfolk
through the Panama Canal to
San Francisco and thence to
New Zealand. Australia, the
Philippines, China and Japan
and home by way of the Suez
Canal. 1t was gone 16 months
and was reviewed by President
Roosevelt on its return to Hamp-
ton Roads, Va, on February %,
1908.
The Fleet will be in good
shape" next summer and a
cruise to the Philippines, its re-
view by the President in Ma
nilla Bay and it's return perhaps
via Alaska would encourage
peace loving people the world
around.
Whether the President, the
Fleet and the inhabitants of the
Philippines and Alaska and of
our insular possessions in be-
tween can look forward to such
a cruise next summer it is too
soon yet to say. But some day
a President will make that
cruise. Why not the second
President to bear the name of
Roosevelt?

on all sides. And a very legiti-

make use of it, he obviously
wasn't doing his best for Eng

Over here, we might get just as
excited over a second baSeman's
failure to execute a possible
double-play in a world series

some sense.
There also was quite a lot of
criticism of Walters. Walters

like anything to get very ex-
cited about. There must be

also a little irritating, and one

and England and We'll all be out

This would complete his swing
around the overseas possessions

An Army Marches
To Save the Country

10 Save the Country
On his trip across the continent President Roosevelt
gave his attention to the needs and desires of many
groups of citizens.
Wherever he stopped he outlined the plans of his Ad
ministraton for furtherng the interests of individual
communities and pledged his aid their citizens in the
fight to obtain fuller and happier life
And the towns and cities which he visited all felt slim
uated and encouraged at this evidence of interest
the part of the Chief Executive in their welfare.
Now the President is back in the National Capital
working out with his advisors the concrete steps by
means of which he hopes to accomplish the aims and
objects which he outlined his trip.
He is about to deploy great army on the battle
field where the struggle for individual and national hap
pness is being fought.
With that army he will either win to his goal of sub
stantial recovery or he will fail
Leadership alone will not win out The general in the
fight must have alert, vigorous courageous and
happy army working under him if he is to be successful
So is with the President in his present engagement
against the forces of encouragement and depression
THE ARMY WITH WHICH HE WILL HAVE TO
MEET THE ENEMY, THE ARMY WITH WHICH HE
WILL HAVE TO CARRY OUT HIS FAR-SEEING
PLANS, CONSISTS OF THE RANK AND FILE OF
GOVERNMENT employees.
UPON THE SPIRIT WHICH THEY SHOW IN THE
FIGHT UPON THEIR STEADFASTNESS, UPON
THEIR DEVOTION TO DUTY, UPON THEIR WILL
TO WIN WILL DEPEND THE SUCCESS OF THE
PRESIDENTS STRATEGY.

1t is faithful army. It is courageous army It is
an army that is willing to do its utmost to give the
President the victory for which he strives.
But it is an army composed of men and women who
have personal worries in addition to those which nat
uraly come with their jobs.
It is army which has been buffeted and booted until
it is somewhat worried about the personal affairs which
the most disciplined soldier carries with him into
the field.
THE MEN AND WOMEN IN THIS ARMY CANNOT
ENTER INTO THE NATIONAL FRAY WITH THEIR
WHOLE HEARTS AND THEIR WHOLE SOULS so
LONG AS PART OF THEIR MIND IS CONCERNED
ABOUT PROVIDING FOOD FOR THEIR FAMILIES
PROVIDING EDUCATION FOR THEIR CHILDREN
PROVIDING THE COMFORTS WHICH THE AMERI-
CAN CITIZEN HAS RIGHT TO BELIEVE HIS
FOLKS SHOULD ENJOY.
These men and women are marching to provide those
things for others.
Can it be expected that they will march efficiently and
battle effectively to provide these things for others when
they realize that they denied to them and their
families?
therefore behooves President Roosevelt while laying
the tactical plans upon which he purposes engage the
army to consider the condition of that army and the con-
dition of the dependents Of that army.
The army is subsisting upon only part of the pay
to which it is entitled Its members still having five
per cent of their normal salaries deducted from each pay
check
EVERY ACTION THAT THE ARMY IS ASKED TO
TAKE REDUCES THE INCOME OF ITS MEMBERS
FOR THE VERY SUCCESS OF ITS MANEUVERS IN
CREAsEs THE PRICES OF THE THINGS ITS MEM
BERS MUST BUY.
Even nature to have entered into the fray
on the side opposite the Government employees BY
drought it is forcing up the prices of the commodities
which the employees must buy.
That, of course, is in line with the Presidents pro-
gram-the program for which the employees fighting
The program for the naturalization of silver recently
ordered by the President will also work further hard
ship upon the army which he depends If the silver
program has the effect which it is obviously intended to
have it will further decrease the buying power of the
empoye army.
AS the President prepares the tactical plans for the
assault by his army he might recall the remark at
trbuted to Napoleon to the effect that an army fights
on it's stomach.
AND IF HE CONSIDERS THAT, THERE IS LITTLE
DOUBT THAT HE WILL INDICATE TO HIS OWN
ARMY OF FAITHFUL SERVANTS THAT HE IN
TENDS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO RESTORE TO
THEM THE WHEREWITHAL TO FILL THEIR
STOMACHS.
