GOODWIN'S WEEKLY. 3
but a trifle, and only four men risked their
lives in operating it. The lesson is that while
I the dreadnaughts should not he neglected, there
should he a perpetual struggle to make the
navy of the air more effective. At the same
I time equal attention should bo given to those
p little assassins called submarines. They cost
but little by comparison, but few lives are risked
in operating thorn, and they are what the pebble
I was in David's sling where they have a chance.
They should have full attention. They have be
come most formlidable in the present war. The
struggle should Ibe to make them the real guar
dians of our coasts, and the guardians of the
coasts of Latin America they and the navy of
the adr.
But, speaking of the Pennsylvania, it will be
a wonder when ready for sea.
It wdll have a, speed of perhaps 22 knots per
hour, and fire 18,000 pounds nine tons of pro
a jectiles, at a single broadside from its twelve 14
'" ' inch guns. She is of 31,400 tons burden.
She is 600 feet long and carries 14-inch guns.
She has, too, four 21-inch submerged torpedo '
tubes.
A little more than 200 yards from the ispot
where the Pennsylvania is re the finishing
touches is the Elder-Dempster s Appam, cap
tured by a German raider and bright to Newport
News as a prize of war (by a German crew from
the raider. When the Germans got Into Newport
News the first vessel that they saw was the mag
nificent new battleship. Lieutenant Berg, the
prize commtinder, and his men did not hesitate
i to express their admiration for the mighty
'fighter.
Such a ship is something to be proud of
truly. In even battle she could cope with the
world's best.
But what a pity that a nation that can plan
and build a ship like that, has not the common
sense to build and sail a merchant marine that
would fitly supplement her ships of war.
The High Line Boulevard
WHEN the boulevard was first proposed in
the way back we gave it its first public en
dorsement, and drew pen pictures of the change
that would be brought when it became a beauti
ful shaded drive. One enterprising nurseryman
tendered a free gift of trees enough to line the
whole boulevard on both sides, if the city would
but plant them and keep them growing. It would
have cost but a trifle and would now bave been
not only a wonderful convenience but a wonder
ful attraction beside. We are glad to note that
the proposition is being revived and hope that
this timte it will be carried to completion, not only
over the original line, but on through the reser
vation and on south to the now beautiful
high school building on the east bench, which
would make a loop for onloming and evening
drives.
We wish, too, that the authorities would in
vestigate and see how little the added expense
would bo to carry the road to the crest of Ensign
peak.
Modern cities are straining their purses to
provide attractions for tourist visitors. How
would a delicious ride to the top of Ensign peak
strike the usual tourist, if in half an hour
he could be transferred from his hotel to the
roof garden of all the world?
The Splendor Of Full Liberty
HP HE French republic was born in the throes of
the agony of French defeat and humiliation in
the Franco-Prussian war. But France today is a
fine example to those croakers who delight to
say that republics are all right in time of peace,
but cannot meet the stress of a great war. Look
at her record since the present war began. With
out disparaging any other power, is it not fair to
say that she has met the brunt of this war with
as arjucli courage and ability as any other power
and with a finer spirit than any other
Who knows but there may be more Republics
in Europe when the last thunders of the war
shall grow still?
A Lively Politician
HTHERE is a good deal of the ostrich iin Teddy.
The octrich, lays her eggs in the sand and de
pends principally upon the hot sun to hatch them.
She in the meantime spending most of her days
enjoying herself. Teddy has a way of laying
his political eggs and then taking a spin on the
outside while they are incubating.
Just now he is off in the West Indies having
a good time with Mrs. Roosevelt, leaving Mr.
George W. Perkins and a few other faithful
nurses to watch the nest. But he has set the
day when he will return and the faithful will be
on hand in force to receive him.
After that it will soon be developed what the
program is to be. We predict that he will in due
time be persuaded to sacrifice himself again if

Spare Those Treesl H
HPHE fruit m'en are considering a proposition to Q
destroy several hundred acres of Utah, peach M
trees, now In full (bearing, heeause they are all 'H
planted to the Elherta peach. That seems a fear
ful pity. Why not trim them hack and engraft H
them with different varieties? In that way they H
could plant their grounds with other crops and H
in three years have their itrees again profitable. H
Three years swiftly pass and the people here and H
outside are swiftly increasing. S
Itoads, too, are growing 'better and if Utah
peaches are sometimes too far from the centers -H
to be marketed green, it should 'be kept dn (mind H
that Utah dried peaches always command the fl
highest prices, and the cost of drying is only a H
little extra labor. Frultmen, spare those trees! M
Alaska I
NOT many of tis) appreciate Alaska. Her mineral H
output ilaat year Iwas $32,000,000. H
When one thinks of the conditions there and . H
the few people, that showing 'is wonderful. And H
as yet that (mighty area la not half explored, not H
half has yet ever 'been under the eyes of white H
rcten. Humboldt thought possibly the matrix H
of all the gold on our west coast might he in H
Alaska. "Wlhb knows? H
And (because Secretary Seward purchased it H
for $7,240,000, the wise men of our country jeered H
and called it "Seward's Folly." H
The seals on the coast paid hack the purchase H
money ,and every year it supplies money enough H
to buy a Dutch repuhlic. Yet still we do not half H
appreciate the great prize. H
il
THERE are more opportunities for home-seek- fl
ers to 'find places where their work would bring H
them a fair reward in Uintah and San Juan coun- H
ties, than Utah just now presents in any other H
counties. The drawback is want of transporta- jH
tion. Is not Utah, in her sovereign capacity, able jH
to change this if no railroad companies will? It
'is a government's duty, when able, to remove oh- 'H
stacles from the paths of the people. Cannot 'H
Utah do this? If in no other way it might ere-
ate toll roads and collect at least the interest on H
the cost and still not lay a serious iburden upon 'H
the residents. H
Utah is just now on the up-grade. Why not H
keep her moving? H
