Secretary Meyers Reforms.

From the New York Times.
The Secretary of the Navy is, first

and sound judgment. In the Post Of

possession of those qualities. There

planned encountered Observation-Disclosures

were so formidable that it is under
stood that Mr.. Meyer willingly ex-
changed the Postmaster Generalshfp
for the navy portfolio. In that depart
ment there was an opportunity, and
he was the man for it. The country
has heard much of the astonishing bu-
reau system, of the division and COM
minution of authority and responsible
ity of the jealousies OF line and staff,
and Of the confusion inevitably result
ing from a false and unavoidable meth
cd of administration. Out Of this
chaos Mr.. Meyer, after months of dill
gent study and conference has brought
the beginning of order. That will be
recognized as the foundation. the pri-
mary quality Of the system he has now
established.

A MEDAL OF HONOR

Medal of Honor for their distinguished
services of gallantry. There are about
400 of these medals in existence. The
medal corresponds to the, Victoria
Cross of which the Englishman is so
proud. Every man who wears the
v. c., is set apart from his fellows and
is recognized in other ways than by
the pinning of the medal on him.
John King. an ordinary seaman, has
just won his second medal. His latest

We've had the simple kind.
We've rushed our pleasures and our

And presently We'll find
The need for novelty that grows

Must cause this old world to propose
The life that's safe and sane.
The life that knows just where to stop
And truly Graves the best,
With toll enough to let us drop
Serenely into rest.
We've whizzed on wheels; we've gone
like mad.
And now the nervous strain
Should Yield unto a later fad

THE DAY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT

Several more or less significant
things have been happening in this
state without great attention being
paid to them. The action of the Su-
preme Court in upholding the Boards
ley law, making it illegal to buy liq-
uor except from a retailer, the con-
state to uphold the Beardsley law. as
interpreted by the court, are more than
common incidents.
The announcement of the breweries
through their organizations that they
will not attempt to evade the law is to
be taken fairly, and believed. 1t is
the part of wisdom for them to step
into the line of law enforcement. For,
in our opinion, the recent wave of an
ti-liquor legislation in this state was
due primarily to the lack of law en-
forcement and the evasion of existing
statutes concerning liquor selling The
only way for liquor dealers-particu-
larly the breweries, to stop the present
agitation. is by such action as they
appear to be taking-to insist on law
enforcement
1t is rather easy to prove that in
those communities where liquor sell
ing has been conducted without law
evasion the sentiment in regard to
liquor selling has been decidedly In
favor of the we'll regulated saloon In
Wayne county this is conspicuously
true. 1t is only when the people are
disguised with political tampering
with elections by the saloons in order
that the laws may be evaded that there
is universal sentiment for the aboli-
tion of saloons.
It is more the part of wisdom to en-
courage healthy condition of law en-
forcement than to be hysterical in de-
handing too stringent legislation. If
the laws become too hysterical they
will, in time, defeat the very end thai:
their trainers aimed at-and the reac-
ton Is not good to contemplate. Un-
der the present situation the tendency
seems to be to encourage law enforce
ment, which is far more desirable than
violent, but unenforced laws. The
latter will defeat law enforcement AMI
force the brewer into violent partici-
patton in politics, which will eventu-
ally be more unwholesome than the
present attitude of retirement.

down this way is that the government
has scored great victory which will
be permanent and whose benefits will
be lasting. No less gratifying from
professional point of view is the fact
that the decision in which the full
court concurred was written by a
Minnesota man. Judge Sanborn was
formerly a practicing attorney in St.
Paul. He is regarded as the strongest
man on the bench of the court of ap-
peals in this circuit. An interesting
incident in connection with Judge
Sanborn was the presentation of his
name by Mr.. Kellogg a few days ago
to President Taft as candidate for
the vacant seat on the bench of the
supreme court of the United States,
position to which Mr.. Kellogg him
self might not unreasonably have
been expected to aspire. The eleva-
tion of Mr.. Sanborn at this time by
the President would specially COM
mend his judgment to the people of
the United States.
