DkSCRIMI NATION AGAINST THE
JACklES


Much of the prejudice which has
grown up against the enlisted men
serving ON hoard the American war
ships is ilndeninbly due to the excuses
of the old-time crews which were
composed of 4 large proportion at
iorcign'born men. We have here a
striking Illustration OF the Old saw:
Give n dog bad name and you
might az well kill him." for despite
tho change noted in the personnel of
the enlisted men OF the navy, The old
prejudice still exists.
OF course, all right minded persons
Will endorse the efforts OF President
Roosevelt and of Secretary Bonapartc
TO secure for the American sailor fair
and just treatment. The decent and
wcll-behaved jackies of the navy
should not be forced to pay a penalty
for the bad behavior OF those who arc
prone to disgusting excuses and
wherever it is possible TO punish un-
just discrimination along this line it
should be made plain that good man
i'll the navy is as worthy OF considera.
ton and respect as good man in any
other. trade. profession or calling.
