OUR NAVY AGAIN Our former fellow-townsman, H. L. Smith of Ocean Park, writes concerning the recent debate between Anaheim and Santa Ana high schools upon the question of our naval armament, in which he argues with forceful effect for a powerful navy, but as to the subject in debate appears to have had imperfect information. The question was not, as Mr. Smith understands it, "Shall the United States enlarge its navy," but, in brief, "Shall the United States maintain a navy as large as that of any nation in the world." This puts the contrast between this country and England, which expends $250,000,-000 a year upon its navy, while we expend $100,000,000. It was clear- many beautiful moons He would find there is no vensky, no Kuropatkin, no Stoessel here to fall before him, bringing disgrace disaster to their country. There would be instead eyes, our Sampsons, our Evanses, our Clar Wainrights, our Perrys, caturs, yes, even a John Jones. But let us free ourselves notion of an unprovoked from this bit of a pigmy east. Yet if war should navy will give a good acc itself, as it has always done the time of the Serapis to the tobal Colon. And when the of war shall have passed trophies of battle distribute shall all have a dancing girl in our back yards, Smith shall have two. In speaking a day or with a prominent Northside favors enlargement of the cited the case of a citizen west of town whose tax higher this year by a feeder than they would have been property been located in city. Here is food for those excellent citizens of the side territory who oppose sion of the city "on account high taxes." As we unders tion was not, as Mr. Smith understands it, "Shall the United States enlarge its navy," but, in brief, "Shall the United States maintain a navy as large as that of any nation in the world." This puts the contrast between this country and England, which expends $250,000,-000 a year upon its navy, while we expend $100,000,000. It was clearly shown in the debate that there was no necessity for this country maintaining so large a navy as Britain, surrounded as that country is by nations actuated by a sense of unfriendliness if not actual hostility to her, and with possessions in many quarters of the globe, notably in South Africa and India, which are kept in subjection only by the showing of her powerful naval force. The students arguing in support of the negative side of the question did not plead for weakness in our naval armament, not at all; they specifically pointed out, on the contrary, that this country should maintain a powerful navy, kept at the very maximum of effectiveness, but not necessarily "the largest navy on earth." What Mr. Smith says about the Jap we cordially endorse, and we agree with him heartily in what he writes of the need of our being in a state of preparedness in case of war. Of course we do not anticipate any trouble with the Jap. He was left in too weakened a condition financially in his grapple with the Bear to do much fighting for a generation to come. It takes money to wage war, along with ships and guns and coal. But the affair at Chemulpo, where the Koreitz and Variag were destroyed by the Mikado's cruisers, at the very moment when Russia was considering the Mikado's decited the case of a citizen west of town whose tax higher this year by a few than they would have been property been located inside city.

It takes money to wage war, along with ships and guns and coal. But the affair at Chemulpo, where the Koreitz and Variag were destroyed by the Mikado's cruisers, at the very moment when Russia was considering the Mikado's demands for cessation of military operations at Port Arthur, should teach the United States a lesson. Certainly we shall have no Spanish pigmy to deal with in a clash of arms with this pagan nation. We fancy the Oregon could hardly repeat its memorable journey around the Horn with these cocky fatalists at war with us. The completion of the Panama canal seems to us to afford the keynote of our security from foreign attack, and the waterway must be pushed to completion with all possible dispatch. With the doubling of the effectiveness of our navy by this trans-isthman water way, and being in control of all Pacific cables, we should be singularly immune from attack by any foreign foe. The Jap will scarcely send a fleet into our home waters. If he should have such hardihood, his lingo would be, to paraphrase the observation of an American naval officer, the reigning language in an exceedingly warm place for If Mrs. Hannah Graham gets hard up she might try to do the vanishing lady on the stage as successfully as she it in the Caruso case.

Stafford, a Santa Ana nurse, was arrested on a charge of stealing two certificates of deposit, aggregating $6560. The complaint is sworn to by Mrs. L. H. Field. The theft is believed to have occurred while Stafford was nursing W. H. Rector, who died in September and from whom the certificates were stolen. A certificate of deposit for $5100 was presented to the First National bank of Santa Ana bearing an endorsement purporting to be that of Mrs. Field, who is a sister of the dead man. The endorsement was a forgery. The complaint was for grand larceny. Superior Judge West denied the application of Mrs. Wilhelmina Hanke of Orange for a divorce because the lady and her husband had entered into collusion to procure it. She confessed on the stand that her husband had deeded her their property on the understanding that she apply for the divorce. Judge West declared that such collusion was illegal and accordingly the divorce was denied. The fight between Mrs. Rose Tousseau and her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Constance Tousseau, of Fullerton, over a settlement of the estate of Joseph Tousseau, recently deceased, has been settled out of court, and Judge West has issued letters of administration to the widow, Mrs. Constance Tousseau. The estate is valued at $25,000, and the executrix furnished $11,000 bonds. Mrs. Rose Tousseau threatened to contest the will of her son, alleging that undue influence was brought to bear upon him at the time of the making of his will, and claiming that his wife had poisoned his mind against her to such an extent that she did not receive a just portion of the estate.
