What about the legions of able-bodied loafers between the Atlantic and Pacifico Oceans who spend hour upon hour of good, | working daylight just “standin’ around”? | If the peoplo of tho United States are really eager to make a! start toward becoming 100 per cent. efficient, one of the timeliest} hints we have seen yet is in what the Lexington (Ky.) Herald calls its! Saloon Census, taken in its home town, On a Monday afternoon, between 3 and 6 o’clock, an hour when persons who have jobs are supposed to be working at them, the, Herald made a canvass of the 105 bars in Lexington. In each bar; it counted the number of men drinking, the number of men employed} in serving drinks and the number “merely hanging aimlessly around| viewing the passage of the afternoon.” { It prints full statistics for each saloon and then finds from its totals that out of 721 men discovered behind swinging doors in the} imid-hours of a workday afternoon 657 were loafing, playing cards or drinking and the other 164 contributing ‘to their idleness by selling! them that which tended to prolong it. | “Outside the sun was shining,” notes the Herald, “It was ® day of spring. A mild, balmy air breathed the call of out- doors, It was @ day for work. And while the census was being taken, and while the sun was contributing to the green- ness of all outdoors, farmers of Fayette County were gathered in meeting at the Fayette Bank Building, wondering what could be done to solve the labor problem.” | Not that saloons are to blame for all the loafing. Why a man ‘can’t go into a saloon, take a drink and come out again, we don’t know. In seven cases out of ten he doesn’t. Being a haven for idlers has been one of the saloon’s worst features, materially aiding the Anti-Saloon Leaguers in their moves. But saloon loafers are after all merely a seasoned brigade in that vast army of idlers whose individual members are always on hand for service anywhere, Here in New York we are supposed to be rushed to death. In | i ' PREPAREDNESS | OF the U. &, Navel By Albert Payson Terhune Copyright, 1017, by the Prew Publishing Oo, (The New York Evening 7.-DAVID PORTER, Who Carried Our Flag to the South Seas. EB was the ideal sea-fighter of the old schools man to whom danger H was a joy, and who fought first and considered the chances of | victory afterward, He was David Porter. Five generations of bis. family have sent sons to serve with high honor in the navy. His father was a naval captain, and Porter himself followed the sea from childhood. By the time he reached bis eighteenth year, in 1798, he was a seasoned sailor and had twice been captured and im- Pressed into service aboard British warships. Both times he escaped. He joined our navy as a midshipman, and saw active service in our brief war with France in 1798, He fought pirates and privateers, was wounded, cap tured and underwent a hundred dime novel adven- tures—all before he was twenty. He was the kind of man who attracts adventure. The most peaceful cruises he embarked on always were ended, soon or late, in a fight. In the Tripoli War he fought recklessly, receiving several wounds, and winding up his Barbary Coust service by being captured, along with the other officers of the Philadelphia, when their ship stuck on a rock in Tripoli narbor, He served his African captors, a slave, for eighteen months, until peace was proclaimed. A tlatanla At the outbreak of the War of 1812 he was pro- i Crate } moted to a captaincy and was put in command of @ the frigate Essex. Aboard the Essex he not only NNN preyed on British commerce off Halifax, but out- fought and selzed the Albert, the first English warship to be captured in that war. | With « roving commieston, he then sailed the Kssex down the Atlantic coust, around the Horn and into the Pacific, It was a history-making cruise, The full story of it would fill several books. Here are a few of ite | more dramatic happenings: Off Chili and Peru were a number of Spanish corsairs and of English whaleships fitted up as privateers—all of them I@oking for a chance to at- tack American vessels, Porter gladly gave them the chance, | He first caught and thrashed a warship that had just setzed two Yan- kee merchantmen, Thence he bore down upon the Gullipego Islands—the resort of English whaler-privateers. The Essex smote those privateers as ‘an eagle might smite a flock of carrion crows. What he could not capture otnerwise he sank. The best of the war vessels that eurrendered to him he converted into American men-of-war, A few months after he had started out with the sossex alone he had a@ fleet of nine stanch armed ships at bis command. And with these he scourged the Pacific, wiping it clean of hostile shipping and ariving English commerce from it. He crushed the British whaling tn- dustry tn the Pacific at a loss to England of $2,600,000 in money and 4004 | menu, Un into the South Seas he sailed at the head of his squadron, being ‘the first Amertoan to carry our flag into those waters. After a hot land battle he took possession of Nukahiva, one of the most important of the Marquesan Islands, in the name of the United States, and renamed its har- | bor “Massachusetts Bay.” i The Essex, disabled by @ gale, and separated from the rest of the eer downtown Manhattan, particularly, New Yorkers are believed to count each minute. But when a horse tumbles into a hole in lower Broadway, how many persons appear to have had nothing to do all day until this welcome job of watching came along? | And there it is. The farms need men. The farmers cannot add to their crop production unless they have more labor. Presently| i the same cry will be heard from other industries indispensable for a! Fy nation at war. f Men, men! And meanwhile there they are by the thousands at! street corners and in the back rooms of saloons—inen who would better themselves even while they contributed to country's need—if somebody put them to work. . | Locate the loafers, | Let’s have a census of them, and whether for military service or squadron, sailed into Valparaiso harbor, Thero she was attacked and A battered almost to matchwood by the Phoebe a intortunate ¢ British frigate, much larger and more heavily armed Unfortunate, | } than herself, 0 The Essex's long-range guns were out Not Disgrace of commission. The Phoebe lay out of the range and hammered her into surrender. Porter wrote to the Secretary of the Navy: “We have been unfortunate, but not disgraced.” vorter was paroled, and sailed for New York On the way he was overhauled by the British warship Saturn, whose captain refused to honor the parole and declared Porter a prisoner. ‘’nus relieved of his parole, Porter at once proceeded to outwit his guards, and to escape. In due time he reached New York, where he was © acclaimed as the hero of the hour. In 1824 he resented an insult to our country in a way that his superiors @t Washington deemed too vehement. He was suspended from the navy. in anger over the tnjustice, Porter offered his services to Mexico, and was made commander-in-chtef of that country’s naval forces, Later, the trouble between himself and our Navy Department was patched up, And Porter ended his days as United States Minister to Tur- wane EEO RE OO ee y, ay’ 1843 | By Sophie Irene Loeb. |sree"tt! 2nd, make, it pleasant for | they never recalved it + a {288 Ae, Where they are eomewnat | Key: dying at Pera in f i H i 7 pne LOD. |him he accased them of forgetting| “If his children were to want a| self-reliant no woman to-day nee 4 productive labor behind the lines, find RORLG SY, CO) SRE: CHEM 10) reas Gait. wus Pros Rabie Ga (their mick He ran with all his|penny to help themselves he would| remain in such burdensome bondage. | [— ee — = account instead of lugging them along, an inert load.
