ENCOURAGING THE ENLISTED
MAN.
Secretary Daniels has made a wise
and popular order opening the Naval
academy at Annapolis to enlisted
men. The secretary has been strong
ly in favor of this method of re
cruiting the official staff of the navy
and has secured authority from con
gress for the change.- He may ap
point to each class fifteen enlisted
men of not less than one year’s ser
vice, on the same terms as other ap
plicants. The examinations are to
be made competitive and the selec
tions are to be made in the order of
merit.
Under the old rule two cadets were
appointed yearly by each member of
congress,' and, in most districts, the
appointments were made after com
petitive examinations. The percent
age of failures to pass the mental
iand physical tests has been large
from year *o year and nearly every
class has been short of its full quo
ta. The wide range of competition
from the whole enlisted navy will give
the secretary the cream of highly
trained applicants. Already schools
of preparation have been started in
the fleet in Mexican waters, and three
hundred and fifty men from differ
ent ships have entered them. In the
Pacific fleet fifty men have already
entered for the examination.
Here are already four hundred ap
plicants from which to select fifteen
for the first class. The cadets ob
tained will be of superior quality, and
it will be strange if demand for a
larger number in each class does not
grow irresistible.
The army and navy are as demo
cratic in their origin as any Ameri
can class or service. Their officers
come from the ranks of the people
and rise by merit and professional
skill. Nothing is exclusive about the
officers but their special education,
and that is so often dispensed with in
the army that it is only a standard
of professional training to which all
must conform, whether appointed
from enlisted men or civil life.
But the service of the navy is so
technical and scientific that the acad
emy education cannot be dispensed
with. The commissioned lists are
now completely democratized by op
ening the academy to .the rank and
file—Ex.

I
Promised Big Support In First—Goes
to Ketchikan Tomorrow—Wick
ites Are Now Leaderless.
JUNEAU, Aug. 7.—C. E. Bunnell,
the Democratic candidate for dele
gate to congress, will leave here to
morrow for Ketchikan, where a tre
mendous ratification meeting will be
held. Following the meeting in
Ketchikan he will return to this city,
where one of the largest meetings
ever held in the city is planned and
the ticket will be ratified by the Dem
ocrats of this city.
The ..nomination of the Valdez at
torney has taken well here. Hundreds
of independent people not affiliated
with any of the parties and factions
in the First division arfe assuring him
of their support.
The Democrats in this division,
while admitting that it is too early to
predict the number of votes, say that
Bunnell will have a large majority
over any other candidate, as the op
position is split up and the Demo
crats have the best organization they
have ever had.
Valentine will not help Wicker
sham this season because of the re
fusal of the delegate to help Valen
tine in the territorial fight. Friends
of the delegate say that his help for
the men who work for him is a few
packages of seed and occasionally a
letter of thanks.
With Valentine and Cobb both de
serting the present delegate he has
no leader of ability in this division
•and his vote will be light.
