Daniels' Sound Policy. Secretary of the Navy Daniels has repeated his official declaration that he is in favor of a greater navy and he will recommend to congress this year that it appropriate for three battleships. Mr. Daniels in this policy should receive the support and the encouragement of every patriotic American. The navy is our first line of defense and in our isolated position sea power is as essential to this republic as it is to Great Britain. Five years ago the United States ranked second only to that of Great Britain. Since then, through a policy of false economy and the misdirected peace movement in this country, congress has permitted our naval establishment to be surpassed by Germany. Further neglect of maintaining our sea power will mean that our naval strength will soon be inferior to that of Japan and France. There is evidence, however, that the American people are now awakening to the fact that one of the greatest issues before them is national defense; that their greatest insurance' for peace is a strong navy and a compact, well organized, though not necesisarily large, standing army, complemented by an effective reserve force. Americans are a peace-loving people, and in their desire for peace have neglected the arts of war. That such a policy is the best method for courting war they are now beginning to realize. The statesman who refutes this theory is unfit to sit in the councils of the nation.

Making Old Roads New. MARCELINE Mo., Sept. 16. Charlton county should be proud of the twenty-eight miles of graded dirt road which has just been completed between Keytesville and Marceline. The road boosters have not encountered yet anything equal to it, outside of the rock roads of Jackson county. The road lies as straight as the crow flies north and south. The scenery also Is as pretty as any yet seen and some choice vistas have been presented to the eye along the Blue Bood route. The road is thirty feet wide all the way. It Is graded well to the center with excellent slants to the gutters. These are well hollowed for the drain water. The permanent culverts of concrete are a feature. All are leveled well with the road so as to cause no bump to vehicles or motor cars. The hills are cut and graded at the top In an excellent manner.

The above news dispatch appeared in the Kansas City Times. The road described is one of the results of the recent state-wide road improvement movement in Missouri, which within a very short time transformed the highways of that state from among the worst in the United States to among the very best. To lay the foundations for such a highway system Missouri did not find it necessary to inaugurate a high tax breeding policy of permanently improved roads. Missouri took its old roadways, full of ruts, holes and carelessly placed heaps of gravel in the summer, and hub deep with mud during winter thaws, and by applying a systematic method of grading them, resurfacing them and maintaining them, took its place as one of the foremost "good roads" states in the Union. All this was done without affecting the sensative tax rate. What Missouri has done with its highways can also be done in Wayne county.

A Real Boosting Spirit. It is very gratifying the way the varied industries of Richmond have indorsed the "Made in Richmond" exhibition of the Fall Festival. Nine-ty-five per cent of the manufacturers have notified the committee in charge of this display that they will exhibit. This gives assurance that the exhibition will be the most unique and interesting affair of its kind ever held in this city. The various exhibits will be placed along one of the principal streets, on each side, for a distance of two blocks. These displays will be covered by canvas. Thousands of people from surrounding towns and cities will inspect these displays of our industrial activities and the advertising the city and the exhibitors will receive will be, it is needless to say, of inestimable value.

The Boss and the Ballot. This is a little study of the relationship between the boss and the ballot as it is established by the voting machine. The clerk of the circuit court, as everybody knows, is elected. That means he is a representative of the party in power in the majority of instances. And the boss is the head of the party in power. That gives the boss a string on the clerk of the circuit court. In the state statute covering general election it says : "In each county in the state, the clerk of the circuit court and two persons by him appointed, one from each of the two political parties that cast the largest number of votes in the

state at the last general election, shall constitute a county board of election commissioners." That gives the boss two strings on the election board: One fastened to the clerk, the other to the member nominated by his party. In the same statute we read another connec

tion, "Whenever any board of county commis-l sioners shall designate more than one precinct in ! any township, it shall, at the September term of j the board, next preceding any election, appoint j in each precinct in which no township trustee re-!

sides, an inspector of such election." That is to I

say, the boss through the election board by himself controlled, appoints the election ipspector. Turn now to the statute covering the use of voting machines and find this: "When the machine is locked at the close of an election in the manner required by this act, the inspector shall place all KEYS on a strong or sufficient string or wire, etc." "The string!" Exactly? Cannot you see a

very straight string stretching from the hand of!

the boss to the keys of the voting machine?

SCIENTIFIC LAW-MAKING

Ohio State Journal. How badly it is needed! How much we need to avoid interpretation-made law, and get the clean and clear thing from the legislature without a doubt hanging to it! This is being sought through the legislative reference bureaus, whose duties in some of the states are not only to furnish information to legislators, but to see that they make proper use of it. There Is a growing feeling among the states not to trust the muddle-headed legislatures. In Vermont, the law creates two revisers and no bill or resolution can receive any legislative consideration without their indorsement. California has a bill-drafting department, though it is not connected with the reference bureau. But the idea of connecting the reference bureau with the final fact of enactment is gaining ground. That is the only way to make the reference bureau of any substantial use. Every important bill should go to the reference bureau to be tested in the light of experience; its shortcomings pointed out; its merits suggested, and whatever knowledge furnished that will throw full light upon the measure. The authority of that bureau should go a great way in determining the character of our legislation and steering clear of the mistakes which so often befall it.

'SPACIALLY JIM

I wus mighty good-lookin when I wus young, Peert an' black-eyed an' slim, With fellers a-courtiu' me Sunday night, 'Spacially Jim. The likeliest one of 'em all wus he. Chipper an' han'som an' trim; But I tossed up my head, an' made fun o' the crowd, 'Spacially Jim. I said I hadn't no 'pinion o men. An' I wouldn't take stock in him! But they kep' on a-comin' in spite o' my talk, 'Spacially Jim. I got so tired o' havin' 'em roun' ('Spacially Jim!) I made up my mind I'd settle down An' take up with him. So we wus married on Sunday in church, Twas crowded full to the brim; 'Twas the only way to get rid of 'em all, 'Spacially Jim. Bessie Morgan.

Special Staff Correspondence. DAYTON', O., Sept. 18 For the purpose of developing the schools organized by corporations to train employes and to extend the movement to other plants and to municipal utility companies the National Association of Corporation Schools is in session at the National Cash Kegister's "Hall of Industrial Education." About one hundred delegates from the great corporations of the country are attending and men of national reputation are on the program. Arthur Williams, of th New York Edison company, is president and Lee Galloway of New York university is secretary. John H. Patterson gave an address of welcome which stirred the delegates to enthusiasm In the course of his remarks he said, "We are adapters at this plant; we originate scarcely anything. All that you see here in our much advertised equipment and organization is the result of our incessant borrowing from other successful companies. Wherever an idea has made good elsewhere, we put it into practice here. One idea that has worked most successfully with us that of training our employes. Our Bchools for that purpose are among the oldest and most complete. Among our most successful methods of developing the ability of our men is the use of stereopticon and moving pictures. And we lay great stress on the health. Health is the foundation of all efficiency." During the sessions stereopticon views are being used to acquaint the delegates with the progress being made in the schools conducted by such corporations as the Westinghouse company, Yale and Towne General Electric and etc. The convention will conclude Friday evening with a banquet in the officers' club of the N. C. It.

Wildfire. "Wildfire" lively as a frisky three-year-old and full of laugh as a joy machine, good clean comedy is being presented at the Murray theatre this week by the Francis Sayles Players and has been pleasing large audiences at each performance. It starts in a canter but finishes in a hot run, and has the breezy atmosphere of the race track. "Wildfire" will be given again tonight, tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow night.

' duction. called "In Panama." is blaz- ! i:g a trail of merriment that has never 1 leen equalled by a play of any sort ; or character. There seems to be no limit to the possibilities of laugh producing material to be culled from the 1 famous Fisher cartoons, which are

now running in more than one thousand daily and Sunday newspapers throughout the Cnited States and Canada. This season's offering is entirely new, with the exception of the two inimitable droll characters. "A. Mutt" and his little pal. "Mr. Othello Montgomery Jeffries." The above attraction returns to the Gennett theatre next Tuesday night. September 23.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

ANOTHER DEPRESSING REFLECTION. Baltimore Sun. The furnace-raking chorus is once more only a matter of a little time.

NO SYMPATHY FOR US EDITORS. Washington Star. It will be difficult for the man with an income large enough to make the tax bothersome to secure much sympathy.

AND THEN BLAME SOMEBODY. Rochester Herald. Americans are reluctant to leave Mexico. They, as is the habit of the innocent bystender want to be on the spot when the thing blows up.

ONE AND THE SAME. Nangle (N. Y.) Utterance. Who blew up the Maine? asks a respected contemporary. We are reliably informed it was the man who struck Senor Guillermo Patterson.

SORT OF SENTIMENTAL ABOUT IT. Philadelphia Inquirer. A man has sued the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for $25,000 for the loss of a toe. It must have been a favorite of his.

WHY, HERE'S MR. LAMAR AGAIN. Charleston News and Courier. The wolf of Wall street has been caught at last, but he seems to have degenerated into a weasel.

SATAN ALWAYS THERE. Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. The morality of the drama is creating as much concern in New York now as the cabaret caused a few months ago. The metropolis no sooner settles down to be good than it finds Satan plotting some new iniquity.

EXTREMES MEET. j Christian Science Monitor. i "Resolved, That in our opinion the money question is j paramount to all others at all times," is the way a Westera Democratic club is said to have put it. and it is difficult to say whether this is the conservative or radical j view.

THAT'S DIFFERENT. Philadelphia Public Ledger. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, says frankly that his organization tried to influence Congress. What's more, he proves it. That, of course, is all right. It's only when the other crowd tries the game that it is wrong

The Third Degree. Chas. Klein once more comes to the front with one of those strong and highly interesting plays which made hi infamous years ago in "The Music Master" and "The Lion and the Mouse." The Third Degree is a play which causes you to wonder where Mr. Klein pets Ilia ideas from. It is a drama so lull of good situations that it is bound to stand shoulder to shoulder with any of his other plays. The Francis Sayles Players will give "The Third Degree" a massive production at the Murray theatre all next week with the usual matinees.

Palace. In the Reliance production of "The Clown's Daughter." the Palace offers today a beautiful drama of the circus ring. In the two acts and fifty-seven scenes shown are many wonderful views of one of the bigsest aggregations on the road. It will prove as entertaining as the real circus. George Seigman and Norma Phillips take the leading roles and are assisted by a very capable company. Included in the bill is the Kamo drama, "Checkered Lives."

RHEUMATISM

BRIGHT'S DISEASE

Prof. Budlong was Quickly Relieved of Both Affliction by Using Rheumi.

Murrette. "Grist of the Mill" is the title of one of the pictures shown at the Murrette. The story shows the character of a woman whose husband has been sent to prison on a false charge. The man who trumped up the false conviction is infatuated with her. She gains a confession from him and succeeds in having her husband released. They are re-united. The voting contest for the free trips to Bermuda Islands is creating considerable interest among the various contestants.

Mutt and Jeff in Panama. Gus Hill's new "Mutt and Jeff" pro-

If you suffer from any form of Rheumatism, remember that Kheuma goes to work quickly to remove the cause, not simply to relieve the distress. Many years' use has demonstrated that it goes to the seat of the diseas and expels the poisonous matter through the natural channels the kidneys, bowels, liver and skin. "For many years I was troubled with Uheumatism. also with Itright's Disease of the Kidney's. I suffered awfully. Tried many advertised remedies. After using your truly remarkable preparation. KHF.UMA. I was fully cured." Prof. C. J. Hudlong. Sound View, Conn. RHKl'MA is guaranteed by I,eo H. Fihe who sells it for 50 cents a bottle. Advertisement!

If you are bothered with backache or rheumatism, have disaereeable, annoying bladder or urinary disorder to contend with or suffer from any other of the many miseries that com from weak klJne. here is a guaranteed remedy you can depend upon. It is a positive fact that Croxon promptly overcomes such diseases. It soaks right in and cleans out tbo stopped up kidneys and mvjes ttfA filter and sift out the poisonous wiiic matter from the blood. It neutralite and disotes the uric acid that lodge in the joints and muscles. ca,JT!K rheumatism: soothes and heals the delicate linings of the bladder. More than a few doses of Crosone are seldom required to relieve even the most obstinate, long standing cases. You will find Croxone entirely different from all other remedies. It is so prepared that it is practically impossible to take it without result. An original package costs but a trifle, and your druggist is authoriied to return the purchase price If Cnnoiw fails to give the desired results the very first time. t Advertisement)

Animals Lured to Death by the Mystio Call of the Sea. A Scottish naturalist in Edinburgh has recently given to the world some interesting facta which go to show how animals as well as human beings respond to the lure of the sea and how

they will travel sometimes for hun-,

dreds of miles to answer its call and then push on into its waters to their own destruction. The most curious example of this tendency is found in the seaward migration of the small brown, molelike lemmlpgs. These animals will at certain times leave the highlands of Scandinavia and march in vast hordes toward the lowlands, moving only by night aud following the general trend of the valleys. They hold tenaciously to the general direction in which the? set out and are diverted neither by streams nor by moderately sized lakes. Eventually, after a march lasting from one to three years, the army, devastated, of course, by many foes, reaches the sen, but not for its own pood, for. queerly enough, the end of the Journey Is not attained, and many of the little animals push on Into the waters, fulfilling to their own destruction the unaccountable impulse to push forward. Other creatures likewise are known to fall under the spell of the sea. It is rather commonly known how the European reindeer will spend the hard weather of winter on the highlands of Scandinavia nnd Russia and feed sparingly on snow covered moss and lichens and then in summer, in spite of the fact that food has become more plentiful inland, will forsake these haunts for the sencoast.
