In mid-ocean, during heavy weather,
a liner recently slowed down for an
hour while the ship surgeon and anoth­
er physician operated on one of the
coal passers for appendicitis. The oper­
ation was successful. The incident Is

geon makes his sure strokes.

in the coils of a live wire In New York.
No one dared to help them until a
young girl came along, took off her
rubbers, and using them ns gloves,
handled the wire skilfully and safely.
When she had tied it round a telegraph
pole, she walked quietly away, after
having refusal to give her name.
The necessity, which sailors under­
stand so well, of making everything
fast on shipboard, was illustrated by
• recent negfbet of the precaution on
the steamship Persian. The vessel was
coming up the const from Philadelphia
to Boston, wlieu a heavy steel safe
broke loose from Its chocks, and for
an hour fought a battle wnth the sail­
ors like that which Hugo, in the fa­
mous chapter of “Ninety-three,” de-
scribes as taking place on the French
man-of-war. The safe first dashed
from the captain's cabin, and plunging
through the door, started down across
the deck. Fore and aft and from side
to side it lurched and plunged, smash
ing or carrying away everything in its
path, and threatening the lives of the
men at every rush. Finally, by the aid
of r«i>As. furniture and ca|>stan-bars, it
was checked, lassoed and made fast.
Those who had a part in the battle will
rend “Ninety three" with new Insight
hereafter.

The war with Japan left Russia prac
tlcally without a navy. It Is not sur­
prising that she should be thinking
and planning the «instruction of a new
fleet, and a reasonable naval program
would be taken everywhere as a matter
of course.
A reasonable program
would recognize accomplished facts—■
the loss of Port Arthur, the dashing of
the hojies of an ice-fn-e j>ort in the
Pacific, the blow to the whemes- of
empire In the East. But the naval pro­
gram which the admiralty has prepared
and wants the duma to approve Is con­
sidered wild not only by all the lite
erals but by many of the conservative
editors and writers as well. The total
to be spent In nine years Is consider­
ably over a billion, and the appropria­
tion# for this yeur for new construc­
tion and some improvement work at
ports and naval stations amount to
143,500,000. This certainly seems far
too ambitious a program for a country
struggling with a famine in some prov-
Inces and sufferlng from poor crops
generally, Industrial and political dis-
order and staggering debt burdens. XI-
most the entire press has opposed the
schemes of the admiralty as foreshad­
owed in semi-official statements, and
has pointed to the need of agrarian re­
form, which will cost a good deal of
money, of universal primary education,
of public works and other things that
are essential in themselves, and, In
addition, conditions of pacification and
regeneration. But it Is reported that
the court, including the Caar himself,
is determined to force the,acceptance
of the program as it stands. Indeed,
the duma has already been told by high
bureaucrats that It would be dissolved
if it should decline to ratify the naval
budget. What the Octoberists and the
other moderates and conservatives in
that body will do remains to be seen.
The fanatical reactionaries, it Is be­
lieved. will vote against the naval pro­
gram in order to bring about the disso­
lution threatened. They love the navy,
but their hatred of the duma and of
reform Is deeper. Perhaps, however,
the government will finally agree to
compromise on an alternative program
of more modest proportions to cover a
shorter period. The prospects of new
foreign loans will have something to
do with its attitude.

SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED
EXPERTS TO GOVERN OUR CITIES.
By President Eliot of Harvard.
I believe that a board of five select­
men'would he safer, more intelligent,
and in the end more democratic, than
an autocratic mayor or our present
system. We need men as agents of
the [jeople who are competent busi­
ness men and have proved themselves
to be such. Municipal business has
become very complicated and needs
exjiert service.
We cun only get expert men into
our city business as great business

corporations get them. These corpo-
rations are governed by a small body of directors, whose
chief function Is to select experts. These directors have
to bo men capable of directing the grand policies of the
corporation.
We want In our cities men who have proved their
competence In their private business. The commonest
objection is all in the word "un-American.” So many
good things nowadays are un-American. So many I have
heard called that when first proposed have later proved
their worth and been adopted, Undemocratic is another
such word.
Whatever policy will get the work of the people well
done ought to be democratic, If It Isn't now. Those are
the very conditions of the life of democracy* But no form
of government will be good government unless there be
behind it the voting population which desires good gov­
ernment.
AMERICAN CITIZENS REAL RULERS.
By Chancellor Day of Syracuse University.
The citizens always have been greater titan
the officeholders, for they create the offices and
select officeholders, who cannot select them­
selves. The people are the President, the
Governor.
«
These are names for their will, their au­
thority, and their power, their agents. This
Is a good reason why they should defend such
offices and those who occupy them, for they
are represented in them, and their self-respect must suf­
fer by any degradation of the Instruments of their self-
government. And this Is why men chosen as represent­
ative rulers can never afford to forget whom they serve.
That remark of one of our Governors that "the people
want a governor to rule them” was the opposite of the
truth. It could be reversed and be true. The people
should rule the Governor. They make the laws and the
institutions and they determine the jierson who shall lie
called Governor. And he can rule nobody. lie can
simply act for the people in carrying out their rulership
and enforcing under well-defined limitations their laws.
He has absolutely nothing that they have not given him.
And any assertion of any other authority Is u usurpation
and an Impertinence. Even his discretion is buoyed, an
unmistakable channel.
The citizen Is supreme. One-half and one of the citi­
zens of the State can control it absolutely by the choice
of one of their number to execute their will. And they
have said what number of the whole shall amend consti­
tutions or make laws. All of the Governors and Judges
and Presidents and Cabinets combined cannot do it

ulone will conquer who figlitH for something
greater than his personal Interests; and even
If he is vanquished he will still have the
satisfaction that bls ideal Is not conquered

in bls successors, and they will accomplish a final vic­
tory for his aspirations.
The Teutonic nations In many respects, it appears, are
the most successful peoples in the world, because of their
stern ethics of undaunted struggle, to which they have
adhered since prehistoric times. It was no disgrace for
the Teutonic warrior to be slain, no dishonor to be van­
quished ; but it was Infamy worse than death to be a
coward. It was a disgrace to gain a victory by dishonest
means. The enemy was relentlessly combated, maybe be
was hated, yet It would have been a blot on one’s es-
cutcheon to treat him with meanness. It was not un­
common among these barbarians for the victor to place
a laurel wreath upon the grave of Ills foe whom in life
he had combated with bitterest hatred.

WHAT TO READ AND HOW TO READ IT.
Hy T. P. O'Connor, M. P.
Reading is part of the great universal-“pnr-
suit of happiness.” Also it is a sea to drown
care and a sword to kill time, it Is a pastime,
like golf, only a much bet 1er one. I read be-
cause 1 enjoy reading, I try not to pretend
to like things I don't like- -and when I am
bored I try candidly to admit the fact. I
have again and again failed to get through
masterpieces, or even to jiercelve tbat inaster-
pieces are masterpieces. Therefore I no longer attempt
to read them. But at the same time.I do not make a pren­
tice in my quest of enjoyment of discarding every book
that threatens to prove tedious.
The main principle which should underlie the reading
of every man is the esthetic or intellectual bliss to be
derived from reading. His perusals should fall into two
divisions the disciplinary and the purely Joyous. When
lie is beginning to form his taste in Imaginative liter­
ature his disciplinary reading should consist of classical
imaginative masterpieces. As time proceeds, the inex­
perienced student, growing-experienced, will discover that
his joyous reading approximates more and more to his
disciplinary reading. He will discover that the verdict
of tile ages was right, even though It did not accord
with Ills own early views. He will discover that the rea­
son why the classical writers from Ilomer to whom you
please are esteemed and immortal Is not primarily be­
cause they are deep and correct, and restrained, and
shapely, but primarily because they give joy, sheer joy,
to the largest number of cultivated readers.
