Severely Criticised.
Washington President Roosevelt's
attitude on the question of the com
mand of hospital ships In the army,
which resulted In the resignation of
Rear Admiral Willard- H. Brownson
and incidentally caused some caustic
observations on that Incident and that
the controversies among the naval of
ficers rnd -their adherents as to de
tails of n-val construction and meth
ods of training, were made known
when Secretary Metcalf gave to the
press two letters from the president,
addressed to him on these subjects.
In the first of these letters Presi
dent Roosevelt, without mincing
words, condemns in -measured terms
he act' of Admiral Brownson, declar
ing it to. be unseemly and improper.
The question as to which Admiral
Brownson took issue with the Navy
department the president declares is
one as to which there can be entirely
legitimate differences of opinion as
to the gross impropriety of the ad-,
mini's conduct in resigning sooner
than carry out the .orders of his su
perior officers in such a matter. The
officers of the navy must remember
that it is not merely childish, but in
the highest degree reprehensible to
permit either personal pique, wound
ed vanity or factional feeling on be
half of some particular bureau or or
ganization -to render them disloyal to
the interests of the navy, and there
fore of the country as a whole."
Regarding the controversies in the
navy, the president admits there always-are
and always will be defects to
correct, both in the construction of
ships and in the organization of the
department and in the actual drill of
the fleet. It is well, he says.' that
these defects be pointed out, but it
is also well that they should be point
ed out without hysterical exaggeration
or malicious untruthfulness. He
scathingly' rebukes those guilty of. ex
ploiting them in grossly exaggerated
form in the fancied interest of an In
dividual or clique of individuals or for
the sake of supplying sensational ma
terial to newspapers. Because of so
much misrepresentation and exagger
ation the president has asked Secre
tary Metcalf for a statement as to the
exact facts concerning which there
have been disputes, desiring particu
larly the opinion of Admiral Con
verse, formerly chief of the naviga
tion bureau, who, because of his high
professional attainments' and standard
of conduct and duty the president con
siders peculiarly fitted to give judg
ment STOKES TO COMMAND RELIEF.
Surgeon Will Take Charge of Hos
ital Ship, Being Fitted Out.
Washington Acting under orders of
the .president, Secretary Metcalf
signed the orders assigning Surgeon
Charles F. Stokes to the command of
the hospital ship Relief, which is being
fitted out-at Mare Island, Cal., with a
full hospital equipment. Surgeon
Stokes, it is said, will start for the
coast next week. The secretary said
that accommodations would be afford
ed for about 250 sick persons. Other
officials will be assigned to the vessel
as assistants to surgeons. The ar
rangements are to be made to secure
a merchant crew and master.
Lottery in Lower House.
Washington An unique feature of
the week's proceedings in the house of

Mr. Bryan on the Issues
Kansas City In an interview here
W. J Bryan said that the trusts and
railroad legislation would be para
mount issues in the campaign of 1908.
He said it was impossible to determine
at this time what the one paramount
issue would be. He said: "The tariff
question is certain to be a paramount
issue. There are three economic ques-'
lions which seem likely to divide at
tention: The trusts, the tariff and the
question of railroad regulation. Stu
dents of these problems differ as to
their relative importance."

St.. Cincinnati. Ohio, writes:
'As I have found Peruna a blessing'
for a severe case of catarrh of the head
and throat which I suffered from for a
number of years, 1 am only too pleased
tb'give it my' personaT endorsement:
"Catarrh, such as I suffered from,
made life a burden to me, my bremtk
wmz oifemsive, sfsuMck ", am4 my
head atmmpe4 up so that I was usually
troubled with a headache, and although
I tried many so-called remedies, noth
ing gave me permanent relief. I was
rather discouraged with all medlcjnes
when Peruna was suggested to me.
'However, I did buy a bottle, and be
fore that was finished there was a
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged 1 kept on until I was com
pletely cured in a month's time, and I
find that my general health is also ex

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou
ble can' be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
And the Judge Stopped Smiling.

to the opposite one. "Ton see this.
Mr. Xr "I do. my lord." said the ad
vocate. "Well. Is just goes in here
and comes out there," and his lordship
smiled .with the hilarity of a judge
who thinks he has actually said a good
thing. "I don't doubt it. my lord." re
plied the advocate; "what is there to
prevent it?"

No Wander He Died.
Speaking of obituary poetry, here In
what they did when father died out in
a town which shall be nameless be
cause somebody loved him there:
Xo throb of anguish no moan of pain
No dying pane will he know again
But safe and sheltered, owned and blest
Our father has entered his holy rest.
For though we cannot see his dear face
His memory sweet we will embrace
Though we loved our darling father here
Jesus loved him more dear.
Xo more the voice we love to hear
Shall All our listening ear.
Xo more the tones he Joined to swell
The joys lie loved so well.
When we gather round the table
When we see the vacant chair
We will think of our dear father
We will miss him everywhere.
We will listen for his footsteps, coming
through the open door
Then we sadly will remember
Father will come back no more.
Oli how true and well we loved him
We will Rrieve for you I know
But the God that dwells above us
Bid you come, and you must go.
