WANTS MORE POWER

Coming as il does in the midst of very gen
eral and earnest discussion of the proprety and
validity OF the presidents summary dismissal with
out honor of three companies OF colored troops
from service i'll the United States army, his special
message to congress asking for greater power as
commander nchicf OF the navy is likely to receive
larger share of public attention and to provoke
severer criticism than it would have done other
wise
Under the law as it stands at present no officer
be dismissed from the naval service in time of
peace except by the sentence of general court
martial In time of war the president may by
summary order dismiss a naval officer but even
then the officer is entitled on demand to have his
case considered by court of review, and in the
event of its findings being in his favor such findings
supersede the order OF the executive
What the president asks in his special message
is that congress abolish what are obviously wise
and prudent safeguards against the mistaken use
or abuse of executive authority, and by so doing
confer upon the executive absolute power TO dis
miss officers from the naval service peremptory
and without recourse.
No such absolute power should be lodged in
the presidential office Highly as they honor him
and deep and abiding as is their confidence in Pres
ident RooSevet's sincerity OF purpose and sanity
of Judgment it may well be doubted whether the
American people would sanction any such enlarge
ment of his powers as the president asks congress
to grant.
Upon what does the president base his
request? The failure of recent court-mar-
tial to impose the penalty of dismissal upon an
officer who was tried by it upon the charge of 'in-
decent and disgusting behavior This is but a
single instance OF failure TO impose adequate pun
ishment, and the president makes assertion that
under the present system such failures general.
Public sentiment will not support congress in
yielding TO this demand of the president. The Of
OF dismissal by strenuous and mpulsive executive
Gccrs who serve in the American navy are entitled
to just treatment, That means that when accused
they shall be accorded fair and open trial and
shall not be summariy condemned to the disgrace

DOODLE IN INSURANCE
ELECTION.

Clinching proof of the Use OF Doodle oy
the Mutual Life grafters TO elect their
ticket for trustees is furnished by the
company's own manager in Tennessee.
This manager. Thomas G. Hndman,
makes oath that he was ordered to hire
large number Of agents at good salaries
with the object OF canvassing votes for
the Mutual administration ticket These
salaries were paid out OF money belonging
10 the pollcyholders, and more than that,
their expenses were charged against tho
company on Hndmnn's books and were
allowed by headquarters
The facts alleged in this sworn state
ment ought 20 be sufficient TO SEND some
Mutual officers to prison II the pGalic
prosecutor does his duty But In all prob
ability the only penalty that can be en-
forced against the Mutual ringsters is the
one wfich lies In the hands OF the policy
holders They can vote ont OF office the
men who have robbed themi and even
now are robbng them In order to obtain
the privilege OF going on with their plum
der for another year. And the policyhold-
ers should do this no matter what the
district attorney and the superintendent
Of insurance decided about the evidence
offered by the Mutual's Tennessee man
agc:.
So far only about 30 per cent of the vote
for trustees has been cast by the policy
holders OF the Mutual Life and New York

A sharp pointed implement should never
be employed to clean rings, as IL loosens
the stones. Soak them in liquid ammonia
a whole day. and the dirt will float out.
Afterward they should be polished with
a soft cloth. 1t is a good plan To keep
rings In sawdust. as it enables the gems
to retain their brilliancy. Warm water
and little prepared chalk are all that are
required TO clean plain or chased rings.
