The Semite, yesterday after noon, eoni'irined the naval treaty., neatly constructed ly Lireat Britain and Japan to limit the fighting power of our ships. The chief and ablest officer in our navy wanted eight-inch guns throwing 2(i0-pound shells. We net, by order and permis sion of Japan and Britain, six inch guns, throwing 105-pound shells. Senator McKcllur of Tennes see says we shall "spend a bil lion and be weaker at sea than we are." Congratulations are in order for Britain and Japuii. Marconi, Italian electrical ge nius, and bis wife have a little irl, just born. The mother certainly is disappointed, the father probably. .Mothers want boys, to please fathers; fathers want boys to gratify their own vnnity. Fortunately, Nature inter feres. According to laws of herid ity, daughters inherit and hand on, to their children, the genius of their fathers. A sou inherits the father's genius rarely. You can count the really great sons of great fathers on the fingers of two hands. Marconi has three daughters, two by his first wife, no sons. . -w Former Governor Alfred K.
