Mr. Watson's announcement that he is In favor of the ship subsidy bill may call forth some criticism from his constituents. There Is widespread prejudice against the measure in the west and middle-west but this may be due to the fact that the proposed measure was not understood. Indeed there are few who really understand what the ship subsidy bill means, further than it is designed to take certain moneys annually from the treasury of the United States. The public, that pays this money, has the unquestioned right to know for what purpose it is to be expended and how it or a greater sum is to be returned to the people. This is not saying that the measure Is not a worthy one but right now is a good time to begin a campaign of education on the matter and Mr. Watson, having reached the conclusion that the bill ought to be passed, will no doubt take early opportunity to explain to his many friends and constituents in the Sixth district the merits of the bill. Connersville News. In the minds of many good people the devil has no more formidable weapon in his armory than a pack of cards. But it seems that another point of view is possible. While In this country there is much preaching against "bridge" and other depraving games the Russian government has given orders for special surveillance of families that do not play cards. It has been observed that the anarchists and revolutionists do not beguile their time with even the noble and intellectual game of whist. When a man becomes convinced that bombs are trumps he is not looking for amusement and in troubles times the man or woman who shuns amusement may well be regarded as dangerous. Very probable the man who seeks and finds amusement puts up with things which otherwise he would resist. Suppose that amusements were abolished In this country, in Shelby ville, for example; that not only cards, but theatres, tennis, base ball, golf and all the rest were wiped out of existence. It is not likely that the people would in that case, devote more attention to misgovernment and other evils? Still, the banishing of all amusements might not be altogether desirable. For lack of more reasonable recreation our forefathers burned people for witchcraft and put them to the rack for heresy. It would not be an unmixed blessing if we had to take ourselves seriously all the time. So shuffle the cards. Man must have amusement, or he would become so serious that ho could not associate with himself.

SECRETARY BROWN TELLS WHY $100,000 IS NEEDED FOR A Y. M. C. A. IN RICHMOND

The amount of money subscribed to the Y. M. C. A. up to yesterday noon was $1,383.25. Secretary Brown last night gave out' the following statement: "Some people get the idea that $100,000 is too big a sum of money to put into a Y. M." C. A. in Richmond. A Y. M. C. A. could be built in this city for ouite a great deal less, but it would be harder to maintain afterwards because the dormitories would be the feature that would be excluded and that is the big source of revenue. $100,000 is not out of proportion to other cities as can be seen. Regi-a, the capital of Saskatchewan, a little city of less than 9000 people in Western Canada, In three weeks time raised $37,200 for a Y. M. C. A. this amount was given by 145 persons, and from about r00 men there is about $20,000 in sight. This will make over $75,000 for this little place. The subscriptions received in the three weeks campaign amounted to over $6 each for every man, woman and child In the community. This subscription list was

started by two men pledging $3,000 each, then a third $3,000 was received. Then others of $2,500, $1,000 and $300 was received. Then definite sums were assigned to men to give if "they found it possible and the result was success. Many other cases of this kind could be sighted. "This, as all other campaigns in the interest of a Y. M. C. A. was made a success by the people recognizing the value of the work and giving until it hurt. Also by the business men and young men In the community taking every spare moment of their time, and also laying, aside all other engagements not. especially connected with their business and in many cases even giving up a good part of that time to the work. "Richmond needs this work. The young men are anxious for it. The money is here to make it possible. Will Richmond measure up to her present opportunity? It means sacri

fice of time and money on the part of all and the sooner the people of Richmond wakes up to this fact, the better for the Y. M. C. A. movement here."

Yesterday morning's Palladium contained an article on the advantages that will be found in the new building Richmond is going to erect for a Y. M. C. A. We speak so surely because we know the citizens of this city will never turn down a proposition so much needed in all ways as the Y. M. C. A. There are many men in our city who know what a Y. M. C. A. will do for the young men here and who know this the more surely because they appreciate the advantages they have lost through the lack of one. The gymnasium, the swimming pool and the general social atmosphere that will pervade our Y. M. C. A., are all forces for good in the lives of the young men who will enjoy them. In the first two instances they will be benefited physically and in the last, mentally. The physical instructor will show them how to make the most of their muscles in order to enjoy the best health. Close contact with their fellow members will enlarge and broaden their intellect. Furthermore, it will give every member the chance to make new friends. As it is today a young man in Richmond generally knows well only those who live in his immediate neighborhood. The Y. M. C. A. will become the meeting place for young men from all over the city. The man of the South Side will become acquainted with the man of the North Side, the man of the east side with the man of the West Side. This feature of a Y. M. C. A. may seem trivial to some people, yet it is always an advantage to a man to have lots of friends and acquaintances. The Y. M. C. A. will do a great deal towards fostering a truly democratic spirit In our community by the chance It will afford for everyone to intermingle. Practically one-sixth of the amount required to build the Y. M. C. A., has been subscribed and everyone who has not yet been seen relative to the work should make up their minds what they are going to contribute. This will facilitate the work very much. And In this connection it might be wise to urge everyone to contribute as much as they possibly can. You cannot build Y. M. C. A.'s by giving only what you can "afford," but you must give even more,, an amount that practically means a sacrifice. For instance, we know of one well to do family in Richmond that has bound itself to give one another for Christmas, presents that will not amount to more than one dollar each. The difference between this amount and what their presents have amounted to in the past, will be given to the Y. M. C. A., along with their regular contributions. It is this spirit of sacrifice that will make our Y. M. C. A. a success. So put your wits' to working and see if you can not find a way by which you can give a maximum amount to help the good work along. Remember that while your contribution may effect you for the present, the good It will do in furthering the, Y. M. C. A. work will last far Into the future.

Publishers' Press. Chicago, iJ5.c. . The Roosevelt Third Term National league was formed in Chicago and an application for a charter was made at Springfield. Edward A. Horner is the organizer and president of the teague. The national headquarters of the league will be in Chicago. , "We aim to get 5,000,000 members," said Horner. "It is not our purpose to appeal to politicians. In fact we don't want them. It is to be a matter which i3 to come directly from the people and for myself I don't care whether President Roosevelt likes it or not. To my mind he has nothing to say about It. The people have absolute and implioit confidence in him, and we are going to see that they elect him to a third term."

Lynn. Mass., Dec. 6. A boiler ex

plosion In the four-story factory of the P. J. Harney Shoe company destroyed

the factory, started a fire that swept

over several acres, burning three

other factory buildings, the Boston

and Maine railroad station and a num

ber of small dwellings, besides caus

ing injuries to 11 persons. That there

was no loss of life is attributed to the

fact that the explosion occurred just

before the time for the factory opera

tives to begin work. The factory loss

Is estimated at 450,000.

The first firms to be burned out or

wrecked by the explosion were: P. J.

Harney Shoe company; Tufts

Friedman Shoe company; H. P. Hood,

creamery; Boston and Maine West

Lynn station; Jacobs Leather Stock company; . M. J. Worthley Shoe com

pany, and 12 dwellings.

The force4 of the explosion burst the

four machinery loaded floors of the

Harney factory and lifted the roof. The wreckage spread outward, shattering the walls of nearby structures,

and aiding the spread of the flames

despite a heavy storm of snow and

sleet. In a brief space of time the West Lynn station of the Boston and

Maine railroad was on fire. Uncheck

ed by the wide gap of the railroads, the flames swept the structures on the other side, licking up first the leather stock factory of the Jacobs

company and then sweeping through

the district covered by small wooden

tenements.

Washington, ijec. 6. It ccit $13, 604,749 to keep the ships ef the nary In commission during the last fiscal year, according to the annual report of the paymaster general, H. T. B. Harris. The battleship Ohio was the most expensive craft for cost to put her in commission and keep her In service for the 12 months, which amounted to $714,245. The' armored cruiser Colorado was also a costly ship, $524,057, having been expended on her during the fiscal year. Admiral Schley's old flagship, the Brooklyn, cost $399,830 to keep in commission one year. The oruiser Baltimore of Manila bay fame required $326,691 to keep her in active service, and the cruiser Chicago, one

of the first ships of the new navy, cos $387,794 to keep afloat and on activt duty. The battleship Iowa required $428,048 during the fiscal year, and Captain Clark's famous old Oregon eost for maintenance $368,422. The brand new armored cruiser Pennsyl Tania cost more than $500,000 to com

mission and run last year, the exact figure being $521,343. The Texas consumed $303,906, and the triple-screw cruiser Minneapolis $335,562. Her sister ship Columbia, which has been doing much cruising in connection with trips to Panama and in landing troops in Cuba, cost $308,258. Admiral Dewey's old flagship Olympia cost almost $250,000 to maintain. The building of new ships, including labor and material, cost during the last year $31,764,556, and repairs to ships, $5,550,309. The sum of $262,034 was explained on naval militia of states. As an evidence of the thrift of blue

jackets, the paymaster general shows thatin the last fiscal year they deposited with paymasters $636,980, they were paid $734,867, which, with accumulated interest on the total savings on repayment amounted to $951,652. The paymaster general says that in view of the past unsatisfactory experience with the commutation of rations and particularly as the new navy ration is considered sufficient in all respects to actually subsist the men, it would seem that the time has come

when commutation should cease. His report expresses gratification over the practical elimination of the middleman and speculator in bidding for naval supplies, and the fact that the number of reputable dealers and manufacturers not-heretofore dealing with the navy has materially increased.
