defenders OF the administration. On
February IL, when Senator Poindex.
ter's resolution came up for passage.
Lodge tried TO excuse Secretary Mac
Veagh. He cited the act OF 1907, quot
ing the section which says: "All ma
tional banking associations designated
for that purpose by the secretary OF
the treasury shall be depositaries OF
public money, except receipts from
customs, under such regulations rs
may be prescribed by the Secretary"
The above is the reading OF the
original statute. but when this was re-
enacted In 1907 the clause, except
receipts from customs" was struck
out This was done surreptitiously by
Senator Aldrich and the bill was
passed. II will be remembered. against

sives and the Democrats, its passage

consisted OF taking advantage OF sen

floor to another member or his party.
After calling attention TO the fact
that six years have passed since TINS
law was enacted without any attempt
by the secretary OF the treasury TO IN

Every official at Washington usu-

Bristow raised howl when he
thought Bryan was going to leave
Washington to lecture. One
thing that ought to commed Bryan
to the common people is that when
he found that the salary paid him
did not meet his requirements he
did not ask congress to raise his
salary and make new schedule
that would have been an added
burden to the man who has to dig
up for the man who can do moth
ing but draw his salary as a pub
lie official and takes up as much
time as possible to delay legisla-
ton and Sen. Bristow is doing that
about as consistently as he can
and is making a record as a white
washer" along lines that he him
self tried to pull off but couldn't.
Bryan may Internationally insert
some good democratic views on
the platform and it looks as
though Bristow wants Bryan to
stay at his post before he gets
chance to beat Bristow to the
the platform in his own state.

STATISTICS REFUTE
ATTACK ON NAVY
Acting Secretary Winthrop Replies to
Member of Canadian Parliament
Concerning Bluejackets.

Officials of the United States Navy
were more amused than angered by the
assertion OF Maj. Samuel Simpson Sharpe,
tario Parliament, that there are few
Americans in the American Navy and
that they are desperate men who are
no good socially, morally and otherwise" "
Beekman Winthrop. acting Secretary
of the Navy, when his attention was
called TO Maj. Sharpe's speech. said:
1t will probably be a waste OF time
to discuss statements which are refuted
by facts that are well known or could
be well known all over the world from
the official publications 0f this govern
ment. / am familiar with very many OF
the men who belong to the United States
Navy personally and 1 know that they
are honest, upright and decent thorough
bred patriotic American citizens.
The statistics themselves are a COM
plete contradiction of the only important
statement by Maj. Sharpe; that there are
few Americans in our Navy. Without
reference to the text Of reports, l think
l can say with approximate accuracy,
that about SIS per cent of the men in
the United States Navy were born in
the United States. When you include
the number OF Americans by adoption the
percentage of Americans in the navy
runs up I believe TO about ninety-eight
percent.
In the selection Of men great care is
taken that those of good repute only
shall become a part of the establishment
and / believe in that respect the recruit
ing system is very successful"
