The family had no knowledge of the whereabouts of Davidson until by perusal of an item in a paper he had by chance picked up In a hotel, Davidson's brother-in-law learned that Davidson had been sentenced to an Iowa penitentiary. Mrs. Webster's visit to Judge Hutchinson was the result, and her touching story was too much for the magistrate. FATAL ACCIDENT SEAR ATLANTIC Fractious Team Pulls Derrick Down on Ed Light).

In all but one of the twenty fires which have occurred In Avoca during the last few months it was dis covered that oil waste, supposedly taken from the Rock Island yards, had . been used to evidently start the blaze and this is taken as evidence against Leslie. County Attorney Hess, who went to Avoca " investigate the circumstances surrounding Leslie's arrest, stated yester day that he believed the authorities had the right men under arrest.

The argument advanced was to the effect that w already rank third among naval powers and that we have not a "sufficient number of officers and men to man She ships, This argument seems so plausible that I am compelled to challengo It In the first place, the shortage if officer and men In the navy today is due to fault of the past that may readily be remedied. When congress, after the war with Spain, provided for a very great In crease In the slse and number of our naval vessels, they neglected to provide for crews to man them. More recently a vigorous effort has been made to remedy this. Tho Naval academy has been enlarged sev eral fold, and It has' been found prictlcn ble to Improve the conditions of naval life so as to attract a better class of young Americans and keep them In the service for successive enlistments. Largo ships are not usually ready for their crews until nearly five years after they are authorised by congress, and with ordinary foresight the creA'M can be provided In time or the ships. The question as to whether we should check our naval progress at this time Is, therefore, not one of practicability, but of economy. Our rank as a naval power, our status. does not depend entirely upon the number of our ships and guns, but also upon the natural strength and weakness of our po sltlon, upon the extent and vulnerability of our interests, and upon our dependence thereon, upon our relations with our neigh bars, -and upon our national temperament. Some men never require the protection of the law or the police. Some are more con slderate of others' Interests and ambitions than they are of their own, sre weak In personal ambition or devoid of aggressive spirit. Others are naturally nggresslve, Impatient with interference, stronrwilled tion of a poor person as one who has no property, exempt or otherwise, and Is un able because of mental or physical dis ability to earn a living by labor," if lit erally construed, would allow opulent rela tives to escape caring for their own so long as the destitute relatives had a shred of clothing. He holds that the father of Mrs. Raybourne should have been held to support the family, as ruled by the lower court. Last Township Heard From. Just one township has been holding up the entire report of the state superin tendent.

Other nations have a different point of view. Oermany and Japan are not so prone as we to publish their am bitious projects, nor their plans for op posing the pretensions of their rivals. With the kindest feelings for both Ger many and Japan and respect for their am bitions, I yet feel that It Is necessary that we should be prepared In the Atlantic and Caribbean to defend our Interests against Germany and in tho Pacific to be ready to provoke a protest from the people: of the the growth of the country and the Increas of the vulnerability Of tne important na tional Interests. In rase of especial clashing of national l Interests, or when wa observe the abnormal development of naval power on the par. of ambitious and determined rivals, w new ! may be forced to Increase our expenditure! abnormally also. (Personally, I believe w could, With great wisdom, devote especial energy to naval Increase at tha present moment, but that Is only an opinion, based upon very Incomplete Information). In case of some fortunate condition where our rivals eease to augment theli fleets, or of some unfortunate conditio! where their fleets become less formidable we may perhaps cease to lay down new vessels. It must be remembered, however that all our vessels are graduall) deteriorating through age. and each year'i Improvements make all the older Vesseli relatively less valuable, so that ceasing '' to lay down new vessels means a retro grade rather than a fixed status. Our country is growing in population. our Interests are becoming more diverse, our national, public and private Incomes are increasing. As a wise merchant in creases his insurance as his 'stock and hit business Increases, so we. other things re maining the same, should stesdily add tc our Insurance against foreign aggression If we need the navy at all, let It keel pace with the country's progress.

'Everett Lewis, son of the Dr. Woelfkln. Dr. Woelfkln's line of thought Friday morning was of the things a minister should emphasise to avoid confusion of ideas in his ministry. "One of the chief places of emphasis in the minister's life Is his personal exner! ence. It is demoralizing to preach of duty and never do it. It is the real experience that is always vital." The speaker urged his fellow ministers to put their theological talk Into terms of the modern vocabulary, so that all who run may readily comprehend the message of God. ' Thursday evening Rev.

How much would be necessary, and what would be the effect of our naval Increase upon probable rivals? j At present the Germans undoubtedly be lieve that they are strong enough to meet us with a strong chance of success. They build ships rather more quickly' than we and ore more methodical In the matter of preparing In advuncc all the details of ships, their annument and other equip ment and their crews. I can give no reason for It, but I suspect that Germany does not view wtli approval our project of fortifying the Panama canal, and thut It will continue the- augmentation of Its fleet as rapidly as practicable, whether we stop building now or not. Similarly,. Japan will spare no cost In the development of Its navy. Its policy at pres ent, as for many years past, is a very am bitious, determined, aggressive one, though it li not given to boasting of what It ex pects to do. Its Interests and our own now ronlllct and will conflict more seriously In the immediate future. It is no more dis posed than ourselves to submit patiently when It finds Its Interests limited by Inter ests of rival nations. In short, it Is more liable than sny other power to resort to tho strength and u-adlness of Its naval and military forces to settle any dispute over rival pretensions. .We may well concede that we are not now prepared to resist Jspan In the Purine.

But If we do fortify the canal, it will be without the ap proval of other powers. If we do not con tinue to strengthen the navy I cannot un derstand how Germany and Japan can be expected to allow the fortifications to pro reed without protest, and there Is probably not one government that would not Join In j the protest If Germany and Japan show a readiness to narg tneir protest witn sum clent force.
