In a time of profound peace a v battleship of the United States navy was shot to pieces and de stroyed last wek. This may sound Quite startling, but no hos tile shots were fired and no-enemy viisaiear. iSveiry shot was fired hy another iattleskip the New Hampshire of our navy and was witnessed by the -other battle ships -of the Atlantic squadron, and was intended as an object lesson to be of value in real war. It vas quite a costly lesson, how cvfr, for the destroyed ship (the Texas) was constructed in 18i)5 at a txs i f nearly thrte million dollars. The Texas was cairied into s'.iajlou water in Ches.-tpeake Bay ftnd was the target o the. guus ot Hie New Hampshire, distant. iivj miles, ard so accurate was the aim and so powerful the force of the Kuns that the thick armor plate of the doomed ship was pierced in many places and the Texas settled to the bottom. The firing was witnessed by the oth er battleships and all had the op portunity of seeing what de struction would await an ene my's ship under such a fire. Plate armor nine inches thick was shot through at a distance ot over five miles. Think of what terrible force must propel those projectiles! The accuracy of the firing was wonderful and proved the im portance of thorough training in naval marksmanship. At a dis tance of 12,000 yards (nearly seven miles) the projectiles fired from the New Hampshire had no difficulty in striking the Tex as and not only piercing her plated armor but riddling her in ; side works. It seems almost in credible that one ship could shoot at another six or seven miles dis tant and place her shots at the exact spot desired. It would seem that nothing could resist the force of such projectiles, and when two oppos ing battleships are firing at each other what a terrible realization -it would be of the horrors of na val war under modern condi tions !

LEGISLATIVE EDITION. For several years past it has been the custom of the News and Observer to publish a "Leg islative Edition" at the close of every Legislature. In accord ance with that custom that pa per published on last Tuesday its biennial Legislative edition, which contains much informa tion that is desired by its read ers, who should highly appreci ate this enterprising feat of the 'Old Reliable." This edition contains forty-four pages and is profusely illustrat ed, containing pictures of all the ' Municipal politics will create some interest for the next month in many of our towns and cities. Elections will be held on Tues day, the 2nd of May, for mayor and other municipal officers and their campaign frequently arous es more interest than the elec tion of Governor 'or President. Charlotte, our largest city, has bean greatly stirred up for the past two or three weeks with the campaign fo thi Democrat ic nomination for.niayor, the ad herents of the two opposing can didates making a most active and vigorous canvass for their respective favorites. Of course Raleigh will have a very strenuous campaign for the nomination of the Democratic candidates, for the nomination is equivalent to an election. The nominations in that city for both parties will be held under an act of the last Legislature on the same day, the 17th of April, at a legalized primary, whicrf will be held and conducted strictly according to law. The practical workings of this special legal ized primary law for Raleigh will be watched with much in terest all over the State, so that it may decide whether such a law is desirable for the whole State. The public spirited citizens of Raleigh, both male and female. are making most strenuous ef forts to raise $65,000 for the erection of a Young Men's Chris tian Association building in that city. They began a ten days' campaign for that purpose last Wednesday night and up to last night they had raised $38,654. Of course they will succeed in their laudable undertaking and ere long will have a Y. M. C. A. building of whictathey may well be proud, and Raleigh will then no longer be the only capital city in the United States that has no such building. lira h'lvenutthftpmiinP' c imi,i4ns ln & Vc plains that the "hypo-,.

I is only sporting men of the Bel mont character that claim that racing does any good for the im provement of the breed. It dDubtless improves a breed but what kind of a breed? Horses doubtless will long be used for the saddle, for draft on the roads and on farms, or- for pleasure, but it is astonishing to see the extent to which motor vehicles have in a very short time taken the place of .horses. Mr. Bel mont has announced that he wil ship to Great Britain four of his best two-year old colts. .Well, let them go with their jockeys and their black-leg entourage. farmers and breeders are im porting Clydesdale, Norman and rercheron horses, which are far better. Ic is said that the United States imported more than forty mil lions of dollars worth of dia monds last year. This country, as might be expected, is the greatest diamond market in the world. It also furnishes the greatest harvest in the world for diamond thieves.

Good scheme, but why pay for tne real it the spurious will do as well : It appears that the distinguish ed military experts of France and Germany are strenuously at worK to show that the Unitpd states and Japan must fight The argument of the German ex pert is that the control of the Facihc is essential to the com mercial existence of Japan, and mat in order to maintain this su premacy Japan must have the con trol ot ljuam and Hawaii as coal ing stations and bases of supply. But can Japan control the Pn- cific? Will not England, Ger many, France, Russia and other European powers have something to say with reference to the con trol of the Pacific? Great Brit ain is easily five times as power ful on the sea as Japan, and,yet she does not pretend to control the Atlantic or even the Medi terranean, ot which , she holds both the gates, Suez and Gibral tar. The Mediterranean is an open sea. Japan cannot control the Pacific. It is doubtful if sh could control the inland sea of Ja pan, to say nothing of the Yellow sea, ths sea ot China and other contiguous waters. The Pacific is by odds the bisrfrest of and no nation or nations can con trol it- The same writer aro-ups that the United States has only 23 warships in the Pacific, whilo Japan has 125. He is mistaken. Japan has 125.000, but they are mostly san pans, a kind of fish ing boat carrying two or three persons with a tail onr Thn Japanese will have and ought to nave muen to oo with navigation on the Pacific, for they are un excelled as sailors and can con u?i Hcarry'lnS trade at less than halt the cost of any American or fcurepean country; but the talk of any one nation controlling the Pacific is as extravagant as it would be to talk of the other.
