I The question of a larger navy is again agitating congress and the press of the nation, chiefly the latter., The recent naval war between Japan and Russia was fought over again Wednesday, before the House Committee on Naval Affairs with chart, map and accurate report of position and execution, by Captain Setoo, Schroeder, chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence, and Captain Richard Wainwright, of the General Board. According to these officers Japan's victories resulted from her strategy, her concentrated and well directed fire from heavy guns, and the secondary use of torpedoes, together with her general state of preparedness. Heavy guns, and preparedness strikes the keynote to the situation as far as this country is concerned. Our navy is prepared to go into action at any moment, and what guns we have of large calibre would be effectively served. The trouble is that our navy is insufficiently supplied with heavy guns, which would handicap either aggressive or defensive action in case of war. Large guns, however, require heavy ships to withstand the strain from constant firing. And it is these heavy ships which our navy stands in need of almost to the exclusion of all others. Battleships cannot be constructed in a few months, as some of the opponents of a larger navy would have us believe. On the contrary it is deemed fortunate if a battleship is jmjpleted . in

this country. But once war breaks opt it is a question of days, even minutes, and not of years, in which a country' must be prepared for all emergencies. .These are the facts the opponents of a larger navy overlook, when arguing against a proposition to keep our navy on a par with; those of. other nations, barring England.

When is a Pinkerton not a Pinkerton f When he is on an Earlham story for the Item. SIXTH DISTRICT EDITORIALS Congressman Landis never said a truer thing than when Jhe stated in his speech of acceptance, at Tipton that effective service in congress comes from experience. The Sixth district of Indiana is conspicuous at Washington and gets more than her share of the good things handed out by Uncle Sam because the ' people have been wise enough , to keep one man at the job of representing them long enough for him to " learn the ropes. And that is only one of many reasons why Congressman Watson should be re-elected. Shelbyville Republican. ' - EVENING ITEM "GOLD BRICKED" PAPER THINKS THE EARLHAM INFORMANT CONTEST IS HUGE JOKE. THE PALLADIUM DOES LEAD While the Item Along With Hearst's American. and Police Gazette Is Last. The Item has been gold-bricked! After reading in the Palladium, Thursday, that the Palladium had been voted the most popular Richmond paper read nt Earlham, the Item took it so much to heart that "a special detective from Pinkerton's was employed to ferret out the horrible mystery." The following facts were brought to light by this detective: "Mr. Burgess, editor-in-chief of the Earlham annual, "Sargasso," collected some information for his joke column, one of them being a take-off on the" worn-out feature of interviewing people upon their favorite pastime, novel, color, etc. Printed slips were issued to the students containing a long list of questions, among them being the following: "Who is your favorite sport?" "What is your favorite chewing gum?" "Who is the biggest guy in Earlham?" "Who is the greatest sissy boy?" "What is your favorite paper?" To the last question one or two answered-"Fads and Fancies," the "Police Gazette" secured some votes, "The Standard" was remembered, "The Milton News" secured a large vote and "The Palladium" led the list! j . Is it funny or pathetic?" After, reading the above in last night's Item, the Palladium also employed a detective and set him to work on the case, obtaining the following results: To the question "What is your favorite newspaper," the Indianapolis News was awarded first place among state papers, .while the Palladium was first among local papers with a lead of twenty-five votes. The SunTelegram was second, and the Item, Police Gazette,' and Hearst's' Chi cago American stood even at the bottom with one vote each, and it is thought that all three of these votes were cast by a "repeater." The truth of the matter is that the Item's detective was too hasty in his undertaking to be thorough; "Is it funny or pathetic?" Neither, it is absurd. . ,; JACOB ELLIOTT DEAD Fountain City, March 9. (Special) Jacob Elliott, aged 65 years died here this morning after a long illness. He leaves his wife and four children. The funeral will be Sunday morning at 11 o'clock; burial at Earlham cemetery. The funeral services will be rendered by the Rv. Pickett and the Rev. Bailey.

CASE OF WM. EAGAN, VS. MILO GENTRY SET FOR MARCH NINETEENTH. WILL ATTRACT ATTEIITI01I Plaintiff is an Engineer and Was Struck by Board From Defendant's Saw Mill. The damage suit of William A. Eagan vs. Milo Gentry of Greensfork J for $7,000, which was to have come j up in the circuit court yesterday, J has been postponed to March 19.

Eagan is a well known engineer on the : Richmond Division of the Pennsylvania Lines, and his run is through Greensfork. . Gentry owns a saw mill.! there, which is alongside of the Panhandle tracks. Eagan alleges that once when he was making his regular run, a board or log protruded out into the roadway of the railroad and it struck the cab of his engine, knocking him to the floor and seriously injuring him. Attorney Thomas J. Study is bringing the suit, and Mr. Gentry is to be defended by Robbins and Starr. The suit promises to be a legal battle of the fiercest, type.

SIZE OF CIGARS TO BE CUT DOWN

CIGAR MANUFACTURERS CLAIM THEY MUST MAKE A CHANGE. PROFITS ARE NOW TOO SMALL An Agent Says There Is No Money in Five Cent Cigars They Must Be Made Smaller. :ti Smaller cigars or higher prices" is the ultimatum which will soon be handed out by the cigar manufacturers to the retail dealers, as the price of raw tobacco has advanced so much that the old size cannot be maintained much longer, unless inferior tobacco is used. Henry Deisel, of Lima, Ohio, president of the Deisel-Wemmer Cigar Manufacturing Company, the largest in this part of the country, was here this week attending the Cambridge City horse sale and looking over the cigar market. Mr. Deisel 's firm manufactures the well known "San Felice" and "General Stark" brands, as well as many popular five cent grades. The San Felice is one of the most popular five cent cigars on the market and has gained a reputation for the Lima plant. While here, Mr. Deisel was speaking of the tobacco situation and the dreary outlook for manufacturers unless the price ihifted to a lower level. As it is now, there is practically no profit on a five cent cigar to the manufacturer, as the dealer makes a large per cent, frequently one hundred per cent. At the , factories, hundreds of employees are to be paid and labor is commanding better wages now than ever before. Tobacco comes high and the crop is always said to be "short," especially when it comes time to buy. Taken all together, Mr. Deisel thinks that smaller cigars will have to result, and his factory will soon make arrangements to handle them. SHORT STORIES.
