NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
What the Sailor Will % to obta y
Shore Leave.

Shore Leave.
As illustrating how men respond and
adjust themselves to reward, or, what
comes to the same thing. the ma ximum
satisfaction for a given amount Of eff
fort. two insta aees that came under
my observation while in the navy are
very interesting. One cruise was made
on q vessel whose executive officer was
in most respects very able man.
Discipline in general was admirable.
In arranging for shore leave Of the
enlisted men. however. he managed so
to arrange matters. strange az 1t may
seem. that it was possible for man
In an inferior conduct grade to get
more liberty than one of the best be-
haved men. This was Of course en-
tirely unnatural and came about from
a combination of two separate systems.
The reason was that naval regulations
compelled the giving of at least a GER
tain amount of shore leave to men 10
the second grade. while the system he
was using actually allowed less to a
man IN the first grade. The result was
that ia a short time the bulk Of the
men were In the second conduct grade
where they could get the most liberty.
At a later date. on another ship. the
executive onicer was an extremely
able man. who had studied this ques-
ton more carefully and was great
believer in making 1t worth while for
the men to behave themselves and
keep in a high conduct grade He SO
arranged matters that II any man be-
haved himself sufficiently well and
did all his work with high efficiency
he could have an unusual amount Of
liberty. The result was that this ship
had more than half its crew In what
is known as the special first class, "
far and away the largest percentage
that ever came under my observation.

A NECESSARY LAW.

The Commercial club will be COM
meuded by all public spirited citizens
for putting its hand upon a glarmg
Evil IN dispensing the county funds.
WHISTLER the club has put its fingers
upon Just the right spot is a question
about which men will differ. There
ID no doubt that the indispensable
Public Necessity" clause has been
freely used over the state to lift
funds from the public treasury when
they should have remained there. 1t
IL an easy matter for INSCRIPTIONS
officers to imagine an indispensable
public nece ssity. There is where the
sbuse comes In. And yet such ne
osessties occasionally arise. The OFF,
eer must be given some discretion.
"A public office is a public trust" Is
theold saw which express very well
the relation of the officer to his con-
statuents. But the public is entitled
b know what that officer Is doing.
Hkb3lc welfare thrives best on publ
city. The fewer behind the scene
acts we have the better.
And this we take it is the purpose
Of the amendment proposed by the
Commercial club. This amendment
provides that I'm any case of suppos-
ed or claimed indispensable public
necessity the board of commissioners
shall file its petition in the circuit
court Of the county setting forth the
reasons therefor. and that in such
court there should be full hearing
with a right for any citizen to inter
vene in his own behalf or for others.
and that the prosecuting attorney be
charged with the duty Of appearing in
any such proceedings and resisting al
lowances deemed unnecessary.
The proposed law looks like it
would put some obstacles in the much
beaten path to the public treasury
Like other laws it's utility can only
be tested by placing it upon the sta.
tute books. That some such law is
needed all students of public ques
lions know. But definite suggestions
for such statute have been scarce
1t Is an honor to the Richmond Com
mercial club that the first suggestion
Of a law, which seems able to graple
With the question, originates with it.

PRODUCTION by Senator Mattingly, of

licity of campaign contributions. SEN
ator Mattingly is a republican and
one OF the leaders of the majority in
the senate
The Mattingly bill came without
any announcement and made the SEN

cleaning up the politics OF the state.
Under the provisions of this bill the
campaign expenses not only of the
party organization but of the personal
expenses Of the candidate as well.
Corporation gifts are barred, the bill
in that particular being similar to the
federal statute that was in use for the
first time during the campaign last
fall.
1t would be unlawful, under this law
for any firm, corporation or other or
gRnization of any kind to contribute
to campaign fund. Neither would
any such firms, corporations or asso-
Citations be permitted to make a can
vass for funds for such purpose. A
corporation is not even allowed to
promise to contribute.
Provisions Of the Bill.

must be published within twenty days
after the election. After these reports
have been printed they must be filed
