Skies.
President Made a Vig
orous, Speech.
Kind Words Said of Annapolis
and West Point.
Haverhill, Mass., Aug. 20. Here, at
the home of Secretary of the Navy
Moody, President Roosevelt made an
Important' speech this morning, laud
ing the navy and emphasizing that it
must be kept up to a .high efficiency in
time of peace to bo formidable In time
of war. He also said that Annapolis
and West Point were the most demo
cratic schools in America, where ineilt
ulone counted and from whence men
went to llnd their careers depended
on merit.
"The entire countiy is vitally inter
ested in the navy," ho said, "because
an efficient navy of adequate sizo is
not only tho best guaiantee of peace,
but is also the surest means for see
ing that if war does come the result
shall bo honoiablc to our good name
and favorablo to our national Interests.
"Any leally gieat nation must bo
peculiarly sensitive to two things
Btaln on tho national honor at homo
and disgrace to tho national arms
abioad. Our honor nt home, our honor
In domestic and internal nfl'nlis is at
nil times In our own keeping, and de-
ponds simply upon the national pos
session of an awakened public In con
science. But the only way to make
sufo our honor as affected, not by our
own deeds, but by the deeds of otheis,
Is by readiness In advance.
"The enlisted men o" the navy are
of flno type, us thoy must be to do
their woil; well, whether hi the gun
turret or in the cngino 100m and out of
tho fine inateiial thus piovlded, tho
finished mau of wnr's man Is evolved
by years of sea service.
'$ "It Is in

Improvise cither the ships or
the men of a navy. A war vessel is u
bit of mechanism as delicate and com
plicated as It Is formidable. You might
Justns well expect to turn an unskilled
laborer offhand into a skilled machinist
or Into tho engineer of a llyer on one
pf our big rnUiond systems, as to put
men aboard a battleship with tho ex
pectatlon that they will do anything
but dlsciedlt themselves until thoy
lia,vo months and years In which to
thoroughly learn the business. Our
shipbuilders and guumakers must keep
ever on tho alert so that no rivals
pass them by; nnd tho offlccrs and en
listed men on boord tho ships must
in their turn, by the exerclso of un
flagging and intelligent zeal,keep them
oelvea fit to get tho Invst uso out of the
Instruments of war enhusted to their
care. Tho Instrument is always im

BILL
reading the Cod6. The bill was Intro
duced In tho Senate by Mr. Longworth.
No other business was done In the
upper branch.
Columbus O., Aug. 20. Tho program
for tho codo hearing Is that tho com
mittee shall set aside certain days for
hearings on certain , sections of tho
code. The Cleveland delegation will
fight tho provision making the assist
ant City Solicitor, Prosecuting attor
ney of Pollco court. Thoy want this
olllce elective.
Senator Hnnna will reach hcie this
afternoon to advise w4th Legislators
on the code. No two Republicans
agtce as to tho course to pursue at the
special session and he will be wel
comed. all its duties in time of peace nnd
above all, in manoeuvring in a sea
nay and in marksmanship with the
great guns. In battle the only shots
that count nre those that hit and
mnrksmanship Is a matter of long
practice and of Intelligent reasoning.
A navy's efficiency In n war depends
mainly upon Its preparedness at tho
outset of that war. We are not to bo
excused as a patlon, if there is not
such preparedness of our navy. This Is
especially so In view of what we have
done duilng the last four years. No
nation has a right to undertake a big
task, unless It is prepared to do so in
masterful and effecth o style. It would
be an Intolerable humiliation for us to
embark on such, a course of action as'
followed from our declaration of war
with "Spain and not make good our
words by deeds not be ready to prove
our tiuth by our endeavor whenever
the need calls. Tho good work of
building up the navy must go on with
out ceasing. The modern warship can.
not, with advantage, be allowed to rust
lu disuse."

tho New Portage office would go to
Akron to get their mall and do their,
marketing. Should a sub-station be cs.
tnbllshed at New Portage It would not

It would swell the receipts of the Bar

why any effort should bo mado to Ho
away with the New Portage office,
but I do know that there is such a

Will Fight Willie
Mack,
As Preliminary to Mc-Govern-"Corbett"
Go.
Art Believes That Terry Will
Surely Win.
Art Slmras, looking as though he had.
taken a new lease on life, dropped off
a train In Akron, Tuesday morning,
for n stay of a day or so before he goes
on to join the McGovern training camp,
at Cincinnati. SImms is very confidant
that Terry will win this match, and he
states that ho does not believe that
"Young Corbett" will have a show,
"When Terry fougbt 'Corbet Km
fore," said Art, "he had Just finishes
a hard theatrical season, and was not
in the best of condition. This time
he Is hard as nails, and hits a blow
like a steam hammer. All his trainers
are ready to bet all they have coming
that he will win this fight."
Simmg states that ho will probably
get one of the prellminaiies to the big
fight, and his probable opponent will
be Willie Mack, a scrapper from tho
"Corbett" camp. Slmms expects to
continue with McGovern, ns his sparr
ing partner after this fight, and he saya
that he will fight in future under tho '
management of Sammy Harris, Mc
Govern's manager.
The rivil tialnlng camps have each
established a base ball team, and an
effort will be made to get together on
the diamond shortly after they aie both
in Cincinnati.
