L. S. Dullard, an old time resident of this
city, is confined to his bed at his home,
802 First avenue, suffering from injuries
received Thursday evening by being run
into by a buggy belonging to Dr. H. S.
West and occupied by Dr. West and his
daughter Ethel, who was driving. The ac
cident happened at the corner of Seventh
street and First avenue. Mr. Bullard, who
is T8 years of age, and suffers with de
fective eyesight, became confused whllo
trying to avoid several teams while he was
crossing the street. Miss West pulled up
her horse to permit Mr. Bullard to cross I
in front of it, but Mr. Bullard also stopped.
Thinking that he Intended that she should
proceed. Miss West started ahead and Just
us she did Mr. Bullard did the same with
the result that he was knocked down and
trampled upon by the horse. Whllo no

money Involved might, with greater ad
vantage, be used for other purpose. 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

property, exempt or otherwise, and Is un

long as the destitute relatives had a shred

Last Township Heard From.
Just one township has been holding up
the entire report of the state superin
tendent. Word was had by telephone today
that the report from thnt township had
been mailed today to the superintendent
and tho report will appear In a few days.
The township was In Winnebago county.
Its reoort of moneys and expenses was i
necessary to complete the report. The ! Our present relations with England are

. . , or a) causes rival development. i
We sea our own pretensions In a very
soft light. 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.

Dr. Woelfkln's line of thought Friday
morning was of the things a minister

"One of the chief places of emphasis in

and never do it. It is the real experience
that is always vital."
