NOT HELPFUL TO THE NAVY.

When Secretary Daniels took the
harsh and unprecedented course that he
did in refusing promotion to Captain
Templin NJ. Potts OF the I. >.
Navy. he took action that is liable TO
be more widely harmful to the Navy
than he could have supposed at the
time. Captain Potts was dismissed
from the Navy on the eve or his re-
tirement, and was denied the usual pro-
motion to Rear Admiral that others
have uniformly enjoyed upon their re-
tirement after long years Of good and
diligent service.
The failure of Captain Potts to have
the required sea service TO his credit
was through no fault of his. In fact
that reason was because his services
were so highly appreciated IN the De
psrtment In the reorganization OF
the Navy, which put the Department
to its most extraordinary efforts, Sec,
retary Meyer detached Captain Potts
from sea service because of his great
efficiency as administrator and organ
izer, and made him one Of his four aids
in placing the department. on the basis
required by law, and in ending the old
bureaucratic regime in which ''it had
become notoriously clogged and ham
pered.' Captain Potts being thus efti-
cacious in breaking up the old system
IN the Navy ruled by the bureaucrsts,
when the change in the Secretaryship
Of the Navy occurred, the deposed bu-
reaucrats were enabled to get IN their
malicious work against him.
The general effect of this denial of
the customary promotion to Captain
! Potts has been serious in the Navy.

designations have become very fire.
| quent, especially in the Constitutional
department. Two Of these officers left
the service in 1912 and two have gone
already in the present year. These have
generally found very much better and
higher paying positions in civil life.
But Secretary Daniels is ont in opposi-

that the men who have obtained their

"worked out their COST which IN
general is good doctrine
But If officers Of the Navy are to be
treated harshly, unfairly, and if the
good work which they have done and
in which they have made enemies, is
TO result in their humiliation and de

to remain in the Navy is very largely
taken away. Secretary Daniels can dc
more to improve the morale of the Navy

Of heading off the designations which
he deprecates, by doing justice to Cap
tain Potts in this matter, than in any
other way. He would thus recognize
that Captain Potts deserves not only
reinstatement, but retirement with tn,

hoped that he will recall his harsh ac
tion against Captain Potts. and rein

CENSoRING THE PRESS.

The eruption started in Seattle by
the conflict between the men of the
army and the T. w. w. was made more
of than the incident warrauted; for
it appears that the whole matter was
n mere street fight between an element
that was denouncing the flag and the
army uniform, and this was resented
by the men Of the army in tumul
tuous rage, as it was natural would be
the case. The claim that the speech
Of Secretary Daniels melted that fight
is not well supported. The Secretary
explains that his remarks were of
general order, and precisely the same
that he had made heretofore, and they
had no reference whatever to local con-
ditions in Seattle These are evidently
the facts; so that any attempts to
connect him with the fight must fail,

have been a great hardship TO that

from Judge Humphries, which enjoined
him from proceeding against the Times.

per is extremely far-fetched. 1t ap.

the previous evening. 1t was stated
that this attack would be avenged in
case anything of the kind was repeated

did repeat the offense, and the fight
ensued. The enlisted men got revenge
for the beating up of their three com
