truth must come from an honest

of acres in cotton will be entered

readers, we are just a bunch of
human beings here on earth,
traveling along from the cradle
to the grave, with trials and

joys and headaches, smiles and

here without our consent, we will

short, and we get out of it a full

in the struggle for place and po-

energy and an enterprising spirit

Is the number, June 1st, 1905 the
date, and 30 days the time, that
it will require to cover the most
delightful and instructive trip a
young man can make. Leaving
June 1st, 1905, Mr. Edward Toby,
with his party of ten young men,
will start on his sixth annual
tour, visiting St. Louis, Chicago,
Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Albany,
N. Y., thence down the Hudson
by day boat to New York City,
while in the city, party will board
in excellent style at Park Avenue
Hotel and will yisit everything in
and near New York of an in-
structive and educational nature.
Party will also visit Philadelphia
and Atlantic City. Cost is very
reasonable, and a most excellent
opportunity is here offered to
fathers to give their sons the ben-
efit of a most instructive and de-
lightful trip at a small cost and
under proper guidance and in-
fluence. For further particulars,

E of the United States are building a navy. We huv<
spent hundreds of millions of dollars in doing it, find
when we have finished what is now under way, which
will be perhaps in four or five years, we will have a
navy EQUAL TO ANY OTHER NAVY ON
THE GLOBE. I have seen in several of the newspapers that nten-
of-war are used up In about ten years. That is a slight mistake. They
do last about TWENTY years.
Although it is almost a sacrilege to say so, the ships of the Oregon
class are so far behind those of the present that they ure not FIRST
CLASS vessels any longer.
They lack the two great essentials, speed and coal endurance.
They are altogether too slow to take their place now in the lino of
battle. Now you see how quickly our present ships go out of ex-
istence, as it were. They can be modernized and rebuilt in n way ami
become valuable vessels, BUT THEY ARE NO LONGER IN
THE FRONT RANK. We are building others to so build up that
front rank as to insure peace at all times.
Wo of the navy simply look upon the navy as a matter of IN-
SURANCE FOR THE COUNTRY. We do' not “thirst for gore”
any more. That is all very well for a young fellow. I can assure
you, however, that as long as congress gives us the vessels and we are
able to keep ourselves as clear as we are at present you are getting a
very good return for the money invested.
n k *
At present our great defect in the navy is LACK OF TRAINED
MEN AND OF OFFICERS. We have lately had laws which will
give a few more officers in a few years, but at present wo are down
to the lowest notch. Men cannot be improvised. You cannot pick up
Tom, Dick and Harry and make good man-of-war’s men of them. We
enlist men from all over the country—farm boys, men unaccustomed
to restraint and of a roving disposition. After being on board a ship
a short time they run away, they desert—only they do not call it de-
sertion. They SIMPLY LEAVE.
The deserters are always the youngsters—the men who have not
yet got the sea habit. That is the great drawback. It takes time to
get crews FIT TO FIGHT THE SHIPS, anu today it is a lamen-
table fact that were we engaged in war we should not have enough
trained men to man all the ships that we have. We are doing every-
thing on earth to correct this, and we are succeeding admirably.
IN A SHORT TIME WE SHALL HAVE NOT ONLY ENOUGH OF-
FICERS AND MEN, BUT ENOUGH SHIPS, TO INSURE US A PEACE-
FUL NIGHT'S REST AT HOME. NO MATTER WHAT ENEMY MAY
BE OPPOSED TO US.

KISSING ON THE STAGE
By LULU GLASER. Star of “A Madcap Princess"
HERE are only three men in the world who have the right
£ TO REALLY KISS a woman—her husband, her father
and her brother. I think the stage wooing of some actors is
entirely too ardent, and as kissing is one of the most sacred
forms of salutation it is bad taste, from my viewpoint at least, to
degrade it by OVERDOING it.
I do not think we Americans are a demonstrative race. It is more
natural for us to FEEL <mr affection than to EXPRESS it in an
exaggerated way. By the same token I believe this strong habit of
repressing our feelings Is one of the grandest traits of the people of
this country.
In my mind quiet acting is the thing—THE CALM, NATURAL
STYLE OF DICTION, which is just as convincing as the “gun-
powder” school of declamation. Passionate kissing is not at all neces-
sary to accentuate a love scene before an American audience. There
are more ways than by exaggerated osculation to express one’s affec-
tion.
IT MIGHT BE ALL VERY WELL IN THE DEMONSTRATIVE LAT-
IN COUNTRIES, BUT AMERICANS ARE NOT A KISSING RACE.

We Should Have a Square
Deal In Food Products
By Or. H. W. WILEY. Chief of Bureiu of Chemistry of the Department
of Agriculture
®HIS is the era of the “square deal,” and it ought to include A
SQUARE DEAL IN FOOD PRODUCTS.
There is considerable tnisunderstaiiding of the purpose of
the agricultural department in seeking food legislation. It is not to
RESTRICT trade, BUT TO HELP IT. The primary purpose
is to have all foodstuffs sold under truthful labels and to be what
they are represented to be. When I ask for whisky I should get
whisky, not a compound of alcohol, prune juice, cologne essences and
caromel. The same thing should hold true of other products. It
has been maintained by some persons that in food products “deception
is the life of the trade.” Statistics have proved that where food laws
have been enforced there has been an increase of business, NOT A
DIMINUTION.

Success Depends Upon Character
By M. LINN BRUCE. Lieutenant Governor New York State
V character. I care not what your education, wealth or social
ir position may be—ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR CHAR-
ACTER. Is there a movement for better government, you do not
have to guess where the man of character stands. You must have
religious convictions. You cannot have convictions as to government
or politics without having convictions regarding God, TH F. AU-
THOR OF ALL GOVERNMENT.
