From Our Itejulai Correspondent. The trip of the bu ttlesliip s.piad ronirom the Atlantic to the I'm ciflc seems likely to be the excuse for more expenditures on behalf of the navy. Of course, no m.P l. H.u iges tne navy all reasonable ac. .ties, and it i a good thing , i loruie country to be fully pre pared for emergencies atiilfpoints, but this thing of having two coast lines, each as long as the average continent to provide for premises to be an expensive bus iness. The complaint is now made that when the battleship sipiud rou is transferred to the. Pacific coast there will not. be enough docking facilities for it on the western edge of the countiy There is an immense dock at Bremmerton and another even larger at Mare Island, near Han Francisco. Also there are several private docks that the war ships can have the use of on the same terms with merchant vessels. But tins is said to be inadequate and the Navy Department is making plans for additional docks on the Dacific coast to add another item of large expenditure to the next naval appropriation bill. A curi ous instance of the economy with which expenditures of this sort have been made in the past is fdiown in connection with the 'Mare Island Dock. This has been under construction for six years, and has been taken out of the hands of the original contrac tors because they were too slow with the work. It is approaching completion now, and is a very fine doek but it appears that it has been located so far from deep water that the Inrg'T ves sels cannot get at it. Therefore, there will have to be either an other dock built or an expensive channel dredged to open up the way to the existing dock. One might think that this feature of the situation would have been discovered some time within the last six years. But apparently it has just come to light. Truly it is a glorious thing to have a big navy adequately provided f o r and a mighty expensive thing as well. The navy is very much to the fore these days, and it is inter esting to see ourselves through eyes in respect to our national equipment. Admiral Sakamoto, one of the most distinguished of the Japanese, navy, has been very widely quoted recently to t he effect that the U. S. hud a fine navy and a poor lot of officers to man it. He said, according to the interview, that desertion was rife in the rank and file of the navy and that the officers were more fitted to hold down easy chubs in the Washington Departments than they were to connnund war ships. It was a very indiscreet interview, if accurately reported, and the Japanese government whs careful to brand it as a false hood by directing the Japanese newspuier, the Ilochi, which printed it, to withdraw it and print a complimentary interview on the American navy by an un named but ''high Japanese offi cial." Of course, the faet that the complimentary interview was anonymous detracted a good deal from its weight. But there appears this week in the German papers a long article on the American navy fron Count von Reventhlow, oue of the fore- I ,nos naVal writers of that coun- trv. He criticised tne American navy irora we- vFmt u. a foreigner who. knows nearly all about it, and his conclusion a- ! o-ipp verv closely with the obser- IB " " vations of the Americans,, lie sava that so far as ships and :are concerned, Americans WATAUGA COUNTY, have one of tjie.best navies ufloat but that they are short by sever al thousand men enough to man the ships they have, while fresh ships are continueing being built. He, Hays that the criticism that many American naval officers ore for practice commands is as a whole unjust. There are a 'good many American officers who ww vn would be eliminated from the active list 'jif a real war were to start. But he says that in such a case the natural bent for the American people for mechanics and technical work would largely furnish the element needed to man modern ships and the ques tion of officers is one that would adjust itself to the emergency, lie believes in a general way that the American navy is on a .thor oughly satisfactory peaee foot ing, but that the building pro gram is outrunning the person nel. A bitter fight is being made by the l'ennsvlvauia railroad a- 'gainst the new twp cent a mile rate law that has been enacted by the Pennsylvania legislature. This stand of the railroad is the more important since similar law s have been enacted by several of the other states and there is be iug a railroadjfight made against a 1 1 of them. Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska and Virginia are all in the throes -.of "the 'two :cent'rate agitation, The railroads declare that that the two cent law is con fiscatory, and therefore unjust. But the Pennsylvanian went a little far in proving its case, for in explaining that the present ra tes of fare were not excessive, it presented tables to- prove that the average rate of fure on state traffic nov was only 1.9 cents a mile. The rnilroads have all shown that they are not going to submit to the statutes of the state legislature without a fight that will be carried to the highest court. It is a question of control that will have to be fought out between the several statea and the railroads and it might as well bo Bettled now as any future time. The first instance on record where a woman was ever given a $2,000 clerkship .under the gov ernment, developed in Washing ton this weekh" Miss Margaret Kelly, a special clerk to the Direc tor of the Mint was recommended for promotion by Geo.' Roberts, the retiring director of the Mint, j a nd the promotion was made by Secretary Cortelyou who raised Miss Kelly from the $1,000 to the-$2,000 grade. Such a jump for a woman was unheard of in the government service, but Di rector Robert" when approached on the subject, said it was mere- ly paying for efficiency, and per haps not 'mying as much as the efficiency deserved. ' He said that Miss Kelly waH in the director's office as a clerk when he came there and that all he knew as Di rector of the Mint he hod learned from her. This was a rather start ling admission for a bureau chief to make, but it might beduplica ted by many other chiefs if they would give their principal clerks the credit due them. lie said Miss Kelly was just as compe tent of being Director of the Mint as anybody, and he waagiad she was getting paid in proportion to her services. This ought to be encouraging news for a good many women in the government service in ; Washington and else where, for it at least indicates that there is no tendency-to side irueK v ie a . y,,u-ui net sex and that efficient work when 6een is rewarded. OA0S7OniA. Bhutan Sjjf VJJJa- V.i , .. f rilUUSUAY Our Curse of I.tiwInsniM; Commenting upon a trial which recently disgraced a Maryland comity, The Washington Herald points out that "the idea that murder is ago nl thing is a latter day development of "unwritten law" pleaders, to regnrd which asjuridicial evolution is simply grotesque,'.' and continues: "In such sentimental glorifica tion of murder as that indulged in by Mr.- Mudd we may, perhaps find a clew to the astonishing pro valence oi nomiciue in mis coun-. try. We cannot deny that Mr. j the Veterans reunion at Kuh Mudd's opinion of the usefulness mond." and effectiveness of killing the "Certainly,' said the gentleman person who has done you wrongs has the support of n considerable popular sentiment, and t h a t - there is a widespread helief that! homicide is a relatively trivial ! crime a compared with some: other crimes against the person. Where such opinions prevail, it is not strange that homicide should also prevail, nor is it re markable that juries should deal leniently with homicide when pop ular applauses greetssentimentnl verdicts, while judges themselves descending from the bench to the level of the rabble, openly com mend the perversion of justice." The Observer has already hod occasion to point out the great danger to society in that doctrine of private .revenge which, in its various forms, has made these! United States by far the bloodiest i civilized country on the face of the earth. Within the past few months the "unwritten law" has eclipsed lynching as a special menace to la w and order in t he South. It has cost several inno cent lives and has had a demoral izing effect with which that- of lynching is not comparable. En couraging indications, however, are not lacking. The Loving case brought Virginia to itssanse with a rude jar and new form of nnnr chy has also encountered ; blows in South Carolina a nd Georgia. It may be hard to convict an "un written law" lyncher butstill not nearly so difficult as to convict the mob kind. Though the spirit of lawlessness is appallingly strong in the South and the coun try and there is always nn un thinking rabble to applaud such utterances as those of Congress man Mudd in the Maryland case, we have faith that the curse will be stayed. With gratifying few exceptions, the press hn-s realized its high resposibility in the -matter and has spoken earnestly. The next few months will be full of good or evil for t he country's future.

"I wish vou would say for the ben fit of certain papers and , peo ple who seem inclined to doubt the age' and activeness of Mr. James Perminter,"' said a citizen to a Chronicle reporter to-day, "that as I understand it his age is a matter of record, and his activity is too well known here for any kind of doubt." "That reminds me," said the repo'rtnr, "that some one said Cue old man is not- only active, out tnat lie was seen dancing at j being spoken to. "I saw that and called the attention of several people to it at the time. It was up there in Saengr Hall one morning at the band concert when, everbody was havina: a p.rod time, and they struck up Dixie Well, it would have nuule you feel good way down in your shoes to have seen our Mr. Bob Winchester, inspector squirrel feeder policeman, swing corners with old man Perminter and the two skip around the floor like 16 year old hoys."
