How It Pays Visit These Advertisers LAST SUNDAY’S PICTURE There were some wild guesses at the Identity of the man whose picture appeared on this page last Sunday, but no rewards were given as no cor rect answer was submitted in accordance with the rules gov erning this interesting feature. The picture was a very good likeness of Dr. C. H. Wells, the popular dentist, and was quickly recognized by two boys whose age barred them from these competitions w^hich are open only to adults. A pretty good description accompanies today’s picture which will doubtless be recognized by many. The first adult wHo cuts out the advertisement of the man whose picture appears here and presents it at his place of busi ness Monday morning will be given $1.00 in cash. The next two adults who bring the ad vertisement will receive 50 cents each. Employes of the man or concern are barred.

Mr. postmaster general is Senator Bris tow, of Kansas, formerly fourth as sistant postmaster general, and a man who knows the postal business from start to finish. His particular hobby is furnishing arguments to either repub lican or democrat for the asking, show ing that the present postoffice depart ment management does not know Its business. He also is on the senate post* office committee, and it is naturally in ferred that these two men will keep Mr. Hitchcock busy for some time. In the houst, conditions are about similar.

Is brought about by democratic control of the house, insurgent aggressiveness In the senate, and, accordinK to a view taken by one of Mr. Hitchcock’s personal friends, -just natural cussed- of the Progressives.” From the house comes the insistent demand of democratic committee lead- f>i« for revenge on account of tpeatm riif-nt received while they were unim portant members of the house under r»publican domination. In the senate, insurgents and progrensives, as well as a few republicans, have rolled up their sleeves for a lively scrimmage. In fact, in all waj'S, Postmaster Gen eral Hitchcorck’s next few months of official life will be about as lively as If he undertook the herculean task of reading all the post cards sent through the mails. He is now spending the spare mo ments of his time fleering out the ti«xt year’s postal deficit, planning a presidential campaign in behalf of Wil liam Howard Taft, getting things in bis office In ah4p-shap« for the Investi gation of his department by a demo cratic committee of the house and in- cidentiy preparing ‘ statistics for the use of the postal rate commission, of One New Battleship A Year is To be The Demoaatic Policy arguments, were openly hurled at Mr. Hitchcock, the Oregon senator read the famous Norton patronage letter, in which the president’s secretary said: “In the preliminary skirmishes in certain states like Wisconsin and Iowa, he «President Taft) was willing, in what party leaders believed would lead to party success, to make certain discriminations, but the president has concluded that it is his duty now to treat all republicans, congressmen and senators alike.” Senator Boumt, in commenting on this letter, observed that “bribery con sists in the delivery of anything of value and with intent to influence votes. The natural inference from the Norton letter is that the President used federal patronage to influence the action of congress. The undenled state ment Indicates a deplorable and displc- able subservance upon the part of the legislative branch, and a dangerous and demoralizing usurpatioil upon the part of the executive.” To make his statement more per sonal In character, Mr. Bourne stated: “While the president is the actual — , head of the federal machine, the V which Associate Justly Hughes, of the ; chairman of th*e national committee, or a cabinet officer, or both in one, Is usually hl» chief agent for Its opera tions.

Mr. Bourne had the speech printed in full and widely circulated. Another thorn in the sida of tha Supreme court of the United States, is chairman.

Both of these, representatives, as well as Representative Towner of Iowa are members of the committee on expendi tures of the postoffice department. One of the interesting topics Of po litical discussion here is whether or not there was design or whether it “just happened” that these committees fell into hands of members antagonis tic to the postmaster general. Want Money tor Chmch Education London, May 20.—In the name of education and the church, an appeal has been made for one million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to further the educational plan of the church of England, the Evangelical Free churches of Great Britain and the church o^ Scotland, represented by the All-India committee for work among the Hindu and Mohammedan subjects of Great Britain in India. According to the many eminent church men forming this committee, an appropriation of this kind is ab solutely essential to those who would make headway against paganism in England’s Indian possessions. Over a quarter of a million dollars was sub- scri^d within a half hour after a report of the committee had been made oublic. By JONATHAN WINFIELD. Washington, May 20.—One new bat- tleship per annum hereafter is to be tile naval policy of the democratic house. The democrats propose to break away from the policy of President Roosevelt and President Taft, who have been firm in their recommenda tions that the government shall appro priate for two new dreadnaughts each year. There are two reasons for this de cision on the part of those who will be responsible for the next naval ap propriations bill. In -the first place, the democrats, as a party, have been opposed to a big navy. The democrats base their policy on the milder term of “an adequate navy.” The majority of the democrats for several years past,, have voted against two battleships as . recommended by the house naval affairs committee. Representative Padgett, of Tennessee, now chairman of the naval committee has always iQd the fight for only one dreadnaught. He has been out-voted, tirne and time again by the republicans and a few of his own party, some of whom believe not only in two but in three new battlei^hips each year. The rank and file of the democrats, however, march under the one battle- ship banner. Representative Padgett, u position of authority, will shape the naval bill in committee to conform to the democratic idea of retrenchment in naval expansion. In the second place, the democrats need the revenue. The lopping off of one battleship per year means a big annual saving. The dreadnaught of to- completely fitted out, nearly $12,000,000. Even without its newer type battleships cannot be built for less than $7,000,000 Md members of the naval affairs^ com- •orvtn ^ the con- »11.«»0,000 to li farmers’ free - il ’ democrats figure, will $10,000,000 from the Th» revenues of the government. amount this fn^ !• recouped many times but at living, but at the same time, it is wise to bv thf H $10,000,000 thus wiped out WvWon TberefnrA. the democrats have bal anced the ledger. If the free list bill means a loss of $10,000,000 in. revenue, then the saving of one battleship per year means the regaining of that rev enue. There is in addition a cumulative cost of maintaining a battleship that would go to the right side of the dem ocratic ledger. The average yearly cost of operating a first class dread- naught will total at least $750,000. It costs nearly a million dollars per year to keep the Connecticut afloat. This annual cost includes the salaries of officers and men, the food supply, and the repair bills, as well as ammunition and the wear and tear of the big guns. Ii| line with the democratic reason ing, the government w^ill save not only the first cost of the vessel, but Uncle Sam may put in his pocket each year nearly a million dollars that w^ould have been required had an additional battleship been ordered. Of course the democratic program is bound to meet with bitter opposition, not only in the house and senate, but perhaps on the part of the administra tion itself. For many years, the Unit ed States has been committed to a larger navy. Two battleships per an num have been appropriated for w^ith great regularity. President Roosevelt was in favor of at least this number, and would have increased it had he re ceived any encouragement from Con gress. The two-battleshlp program has been supported in fairly consistent manner by the republican party. The regular increase has annually gone through the senate almost without a struggle, and the first in the house has sdways been w^on overwhelmingly by those who favored a big navy. The question of a naval increase, however, has not been divided strict ly along partisan lines. Representative Hobson, a democrat is at variance with the majority of his party over its naval policy. Mr. Hobson each year makes a futile effort to secure the au-, thorization for three battleships, or four, as the case may be. He is a member of the naval affairs committee of the house and one of the liveliest fights in the history of that ccMnmittee will occur when Mr. Hobson runs up against the one battleship program of Representative ' Padgett, and his col leagues on^ the committee, who de clined to be alarmed over the nrob- ability of war. “ The United States now ranks third among the naval powers of the world. England comes first, Germany second, France fourth, and Japan fifth. If the United States should adhere to the one battleship per year program, however, navy experts estimate that this coun try will be outstripped by both France and Japan within the next decade, tak ing into consideration the p^robability that neither of these nations will cur tail their navies. The tonnage of the various navies, built and now under course of con struction, Is given as follows: England 2,173,838; Germany 963,845; United States, 824,152; France 725.231; Japan 493,671; Russia, 401,463; Italy 327,059; Austria 209,899^ The above was the relative order df w^arship ton nage, already afloat or contracted for, when the house passed the current naval appropriation bill three months ago. England has eight dreadnaughts and 49 first class battleships at present, with 10 additional dreadnaughts build ing. Germany has four dreadnaughts, and 22 first class battleships, with 9 dreadnaughts in course of construc tion. The United States has four dread naughts and 25 first class battleships, with six building. Prance has 17 first class battleships, with 2 dreadnaughts and 5 battleships under construction, while Japan has 12 first class battle ships, with 3 dreadnaughts and one additional battleship authorized or un der construction. Regardless of the naval programs of other nations, the United States prob ably will trail along, hereafter with one new dreadnaught per year, unless the war cloud should become so omnious as to scare the democratic house. All appropriation measures must originate in the house committees, hence, when the naval affairs bill is reported next time, it is expected that Representa tive Padgett will serve notice that it will be the permanent policy of this committee to allow appropriations for but one new ship per year. The senate may object to this, but the democratic hout^e, favoring re trenchment in public expenses and merely an “adequate” navy, will have the upper hand so far as battleships are concerned. Interest Over ^aval Airship London, May 20.—Great interest is manifested, in naval and military cir cles, over the description, recently made public, of his Majesty's navaJ airship No. 1., but recently completed at Messrs. Vickers' factory at Barrow, which is expected to revoluiionize na val warfare. The airship is of the rigid type and is shaped like a thick pencil tapering to a bluntish point at the bow and to a sharper point at the stern. As she is intended for sea flights rather than work overland, she ha? been fitted with mechanism to enabie her to rise from, alijht on. and move on the surface of the water. She is of the following dimensions: Length, 510 feet. Maximum diameter, feet. Volume, 706,330 cu'oic feet. Lifting power. 21 tons. ..Aonr Motors, two eight-cylinder lOO-.oi horse power.
