shore duty in the yard
In his annual report he goes a step
further. There is a recommendation
that the proprietor of a place Of
amusement, who refuses admission TO
an orderly, well-behaved sailor, shall
be punished by fine and imprison-
ment.
Why. it would be hard to say. The
orderly, well-behaved sailor" is en-
titled to exactly the same rights, no
more and no less, as the orderly, we'll
behaved civilian. The law gives them
now and the law as it stands is quite
capable Of protecting them. Outside
the question of propriety, which is
vital, it may be very strongly CUES
toned If a law such as the Secre-
tary recommends would be constitu-
tional. Indeed, it is humbly and
reverently suggested, such law
would not be constitutional. 1t
seems remarkable a lawyer so able
and distinguished as Mr.. Bonaparte
should have overlooked this fact.
If there is a prejudice in certain
seaports Of this country against the
enlisted men Of the navy, it is born
of remembrance, not a lack of patriot
ism. Men and women remember GER
tain maritime Tevelries in which Jack
Tar forgot the proprieties. They have
been made aware of his curious lack
of moral responsibility in the rela-
tions that affect the home. There
fore the prejudice. If it is to be re-
moved, it is not by new laws and
new regulations. for the punishment
of those who chance to share II. II
may be said, with safety, that they
have more valid reason for their
position than the Secretary of the
Navy has for his
1t is just as we'll to be sensible
about these matters. Sometimes the
waving of the flag causes a rush of
blood TO the head, not conducive to
sober decision. Everybody wants
the American Navy to be held In
every just honor, and in that regard
the Secretary is no whit more en-
thusiastic than his sfellow-Americans
Let him turn his attention to some
or the causes Of the condition he
would seek to remove.

The District in the Message.

The District will read certain para
graphs of the Presidents message
with a distinct local interest.
In this paragraph, for example, he
illustrates an attitude toward the
District Capital and presents an out
line Of legislation in it's behalf which
should be noted by every citizen:
The National Government has control
of the District of Columbia however.
and IL should see to It that the CITY of
W ashinBton Is made model city in all
respects. both as regards parks, public
Fairgrounds. proper regulation or the
system or housing so as to do away with
the evils OF alley tenements a proper
system or education. a proper system Of
oedlnS with truancy and juvenile Of
tenders. a proper handling OF the charit-
able work OF the District
moreover, there should be proper fac
tory laws 10 prevent all abuses i'm rbA
employment OF women and children in
the District. These will be useful chiefly
as object lessons but even this limited
amount OF usefulness would be OF real
national value
or a more specific character Is this
comment on the smoke law:
The law forbldding the emission Of
dense black or gray smoke in the city of
Washington has been sustained by the
courts. Something has been ACCOMPLISH
