DEWEY TO PROTEST
DANIELS ORDERS
Interesting Battle Between Of

Settled by President.

Protest against the order of tie Sec

be filed by Admiral Dewey. Admiral
Dewey refused today either to deny or
affirm the report that protest will be
filed. The President has not yet received

The two officers have been found by
the naval examining board fitted physi-
cally. professionally. and morally Tor
promotion Secretary Daniels then or
dered them to demonstrate their fitness
for promotion by a tour OF sea duty.
Admiral Dewey's protest will be based
on the contention that the Secretarys
order is in effect ex post facto punish
ment. and will deprive the officers OF
the increased pay to which they are
entitled.
Secretary Daniels announced when he
took offe that he believed q sailor
should sail. and that during his term OF
office there would be no permanent Of
fees for naval officers In Washington.
In pursuance of that policy he has Or
dersd the two officers in question TO
perform sea duty before they receive
promotion.
The outcome of the protest is watched
with the deepest interest from both
naval and political standpoint. IL the
President requires the Secretary OF the
Navy to rescind his order sending the
officers out TO sea, naval officers think

An interesting feature of the Secre-
tary's order is that Captain Potts is as

COOPERATION AND TRUST LAWS.

There has been widespread interest of late ir
the growth of the great cooperative merchandising
societies in Great Britain. Though these organiza-
tons approaching the centennial anniversary
of their beginning the mass of Americans have no,
until very recent years realized how great, how
powerful, or how significant part of the COM
mercial life of Britain they have become.
Attention has turned to them in proportion as our
own cost-of-lving issue has directed thought TO the
cost of the middlenlans services We are noting
with interest that last year the greatest year in
the history of the English co-operatives; and, fur
ther, that number of the very large concerns over
there are planning to consolidate and thus further
reduce operating costs.
The cooperative societies are able to do that in
England, but If had similar societies in this coun-
try, doing business up into the hundreds of millions
how long would if be before antitrust acts
would be invoked to prevent them consolidating and
suppressing competition?
The economic movement in Britain today is,
through cooperation, to end competition and its
wastes. The movement in this country, through our
antitrust statutes is to perpetuate competition and
hope that somehow it will make itself useful to US.
Who is right?

THE PRESIDENT WINS, ANYHOW.

President Wilson has won on the sugar schedule
His recommendation that sugar be reduced to 1 cen
per pound duty at once, to continue at that figure
for three years and then be placed the free list
was Overwhelmingly Endorsed by the Democratic
House caucus.
Ii viii be observed, sign of the temper o!
the House, that the Presidents proposal the
conservative one The real contest was between the
Presidents plan of gradual reduction and the plan
of immediate removal of all the tariff.
But for the Presidents prestige and influence, j,
IS altogether likely that immediate free sugar would
have been voted
The Administration victory leaves little doubt
that free wool will be ndorsed next Of course
these decisions in the House caucus are far from
conclusive of the procedure of the Senate where
the Democratic margin is very narrow but the
Presidents showing of strength in the House adds
10 the probability of his control in the upper body
1t need be no surprise if from this time forward
the Administration bill gets TO be more of free
trade measure than il was when introduced. When
you start on the tarff-for-revenue theory you
the road toward taking off protection generally. For
example, this bill places wool the free list but
retains series of duties on wooen fabrics. People
who take their tariff medicine straight declare that
if wool is TO be free, there is logical justification
for duties on its manufactures The hDingey-
Mckinley logic always got back to that conclusion.
The old Republican program was nigh duty on
wool, and compensatory duties the products. Per-
fecty understandable and reasonable But why the
compensatory duties the products if there is MOTH
ing TO be compensated for?
Before they are done framing their legislation
the Democrats will have TO face these propositions
and the disposition will be 10 press for consistent
program. Free wool might be forced through, with
e. a. A.
sheep and wool The party might calculate that it
could get along without him. But when the pro-
cedure having been carried that far leads squarev

THE KERN INVESTIGATION.

Senator Kerns resolution for Senatorial in
vestigation of the conditions in the West Virginia
coal fields, where strike, riots and condition bor-
dering on anarchy have prevailed for several
months ought to pass. There has been so much
sneering at government by investigation" that
nowadays it is difficult to get serious nearing for
proposition of this kind, whatever its merit
But the West Virginia conditions ought to be un-
derstood by the whole country. 1t is impossible to
deal with the fundamentals underlying such trou-
bous situations until all the facts are laid bare
The investigations Congress has held in the last two
years have produced good deal of very worthless
printed material; but they have also brought for
ward vast amount of useful information There
is need for discrimination in ordering and conduct
ing such inquiries; but it will not do to assume that
all of them are buncombe, demagogueIy or merely
for political purposes.

sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER WEEK.

Plans of large proportions are preparing for "The
Star-Spanged Banner" centennial celebration to be
held in Baltimore next year. If present plans for
week of public demonstrations are carried out-and,
&c judge by the way such things have gone in the
past, there is likely to be expansion rather than
contraction of them the celebration will take
rank with some of the bigger national affairs of that
nature. Indeed, "Star-Spangled Banner ceremon-
les for the whole country would be very fitting
