mo. The most of the appropriations
are fixed by Congress. The officers and
sailors are paid by Congress. and that is
streams through which the money flows
have their source in the House and Sem
ate. and are directed by them. OF
course, the money for repairing the
ships goes through our hands That is
a large sum. and we have to decide how
it Is to be spent"
Have you enough money to run the
navy?"
I'VE have plenty for the various de-
partments. We have not as much as
we would like for building new ships
and we could use more in ne navy
yards. That navy yard problem is n
vital one, and | hope we can make a
better solution of 1t than we haze now. .
DO we pay more for our battleships
than other nations?"
II hardly think so, but we pay more
than we ought to pay and l hope that
we can cut down the prices. Take the
matter of--guns. We used to pay i'm :
mense sums for such armament but
since we have established our own gun
factory here at Washington we have
saved on that account alone many mil
lions of dollars.
I'VE are now making our own powder
and are saving millions on that. l don't
mean that we save alone on the making
the powder, but the outsiders of whom
we buy have to fix their prices at some
where near our cost of manufacture.
l think we could do the same with ar
eTnor plate, and I shall ask Congress to
give me enough money to put up an
armor plate factory and thus bring
down outside competition. AS 1t is now
We are held up by the steel trust. It's
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-09-07

But Mr.. Secretary, can one live the
simple life today?"
"Yes, believe the nation is too ex-
travagant and that prices are TOO high
Nevertheless. one can live ON d dollar
a day If he has to. / know I could.
Almost any man can earn the necessi
ties of today. We all want to live too
high, and prices have gone up accord
ingly."
'Is it so In the south?''
Yes. The cost of the necessities has
risen and our people also demand lux
uries which no one thought of having
in the days of my boyhood."
Tell me something about your ca
reer as an editor"
There is not much to say replied
the Secretary. II can't remember when
l did not desire to be a newspaper man.
/ used to hang around the office of our
village paper when / was quite small
boy, and at the age of Is l started an
amateur journal called the Cornucopia
Two years later my mother mortgaged
her house for $500 to buy for me third
interest in the little weekly of the town
where we lived. and shortly after that
I was able to buy out the other two
thirds and own the whole paper. From
then on / had many ups and downs, but
/ finally bought the Raleigh News aud
Observer. 1t was sold at auction for
$4,000 and T got it with the aid of a
friend. 1t was hard shedding at first,
but after that we made it pay we'll
DO you find that your career as a
newspaper man has fitted you Tor your
present position?"
ut seems to me that the newspaper
is a good training for almost any
position, A newspaper man comes in con-

managers know that we cannot mako

at their mercy. When the different)
competitors find that am going to-
give contract to the lowest bidder
they all bid exactly the same thing
down to cent. The competitors work
in collusion and we are helpless As it
is we need some cranes and other ma
chinery TO equip our navy yards for|
building such things and we will save
there as much as we are saving oni
powder and guns"
II am much interested In your plan of,
turning our battleships into schools
for the men," said 1. Is IT practical ? 3
Perfectly so. / see no reason why
every sailor and every marine should
not receive a good education aboard3
ship. / hope to make it so that every
man who enlists in the navy will have'
a chance to learn a trade or profession.
There is no reason why he should not be
an electrician, an engineer, or have
almost any other practical trade. While
l was at Newport the other day looked
over the records of the training station
there. l found that only nine of tho
students had been to college before they
were admitted. and that ninety had
gone to the high schools. while 156 had
had little education to speak Of Now
we have on every vessel a corps OF
young officers who are graduates OF the
Naval Academy, and We can establish a
school on every ship and haye these
officers do the teaching. The men will
be taught reading, writing ana arith-
metic, as we'll as grammar and the
other fundamentals, and those who wish
1t can go higher and learn a trade"
''Will that be good thing for the
service?"
I'm almost every way, yes" was ths
reply. 'It will be good for the men and
good for the officers. Within two years
after man has left Annapolis he be-
gins to forget what he has learned
there. This will make him continue
his studies and he will have the advant-
age as it were. of a post graduate
course.
Besides" continued Secretary Dam
iels, 81 think our officers need moro
training after they have left the aead-
emy. ] want more of them to 90 to the
naval college to learn strategy and to
plan out the possible warfare of the
future. When | visited that institution
the other day l found that there were
about as many men in the faculty as
there were in the school. 1t is my idea
that every officer should spend some

less he has gone through course
there"
What do they do at the Naval col-
lege?" / asked.
,They study the principals and plans
fof naval warfare They make supposit-
itious campaigns and plan what would
be the course of the navy in case the
>battleships were located at certain
points and ii was necessary TO move
at once upon another nation with whom
we might have war. They do for the
navy the same as the war college at
Washington does for the army. All of
the great nations have such colleges

tact with all kinds of people. He learns
human nature and how to handle it,
and people are much alike the world
since Adam. This navy department is
a big thing, but after all it Is some
thing like newspaper esta ablishment.
Just before | left Raleigh one of my
friends said to me at dinner. How
can you be Secretary of the Navy? You
cannot sail ship or shoot a gum |
replied that / was the editor Of a news
paper although | could not run print
ing press or linotype. 1t is the same
in this department. One does not have
to know every detail in order to direct
it. When 1 came in 1 did not know a
living soul. | did not know my aides,
nor the heads OF the bureaus, but /
found they were men just like those
whom | had known In North Carolina.
The most of them were patriotic, nearly
all were fine spirited and all seemed to
love the service like the love of God
The machine is good one, and / have
not seen reason to make any changes in
it,"
'But the job is big, is it not. Mr.. Sec
retary?"
Yes, it is a pretty big job for the ed
tor of a country newspaper We have
about $4,000 men in the navy, and we
are now spending something like $3.50,
100000 year. Yesterday we gave out
contract for the building of battle
ship which will cost $7.000.000 and
we have others which have cost that
much or more. Seven million dollars
would buy all the newspapers OF North
Carolina, and then some but we are
spending that much on one battleship."
But you do not have to handle the
money yourself?"

HOW CRIMINAL REALLY DOES LOOK
Fifteen actual proles the English prsons

tistics, may compel US to reject or TO mod
ify an apparent certainty-our inevitable
conclusion must be that there is no such
thing as physical criminal type.
This. then, is our contention admitting
the~criminal does possess all the charac-
ters that have been attributed to him;
admitting, even, that he Is marked by a
'dome-shaped head. and by face like
a bird of prey; admitting that he is
drunken, impulsive, obstinate, dirty and
without control-despite all this, we main
tain he is not an abnormal man. He may
represent selected class of normal man;
many of his qualities may present ex-
treme degrees from the normal average;
yet the fact remains that, in the pattern
of his mind and badly, in his feelings,
thoughts, desires, and recognition Of right
and wrong, and in his behavior. however
outrageous It may be. he exists by the
same nature, and II moved by the samo

then is spent in receiving callers, and
it is only after that time that he gives
his personal mail any attention
Nevertheless. he does an enormous
amount of business. 1t is said thai
Napoleon could dictate to four stenoe-
raphers on four different subjects at the
same time and keep them all busy. The
Secretary seems to be a BILE to carry on
two trains Of thought in the same way
lie is often talking while signing his
mail. He is a swift reader and his eye
grabs page at a glance. Nevertheless
he knows just what he Is signing, and
he Will often stop and order corrections
or have the letter changed or laid away
for some future time. He is an even
minded man. He does not worry ana
sleeps well of nights.
My talk with Secretary Daniels Gov
cred a wide range. He told me much
about the navy and his plans FOR ele-
waiting the mon and bringing The SER
vice closer to the people. In response
to my questions he also talked of him
SELF and ] viii write of that first
! asked him to tell me something of
the Daniels family and where it came
from. He replied
"rhe name Daniels is Welsh and the
most of my family came from Wales
They emigrated to this country at an
early date and settled in North Carolina
where my father was a farmer. My
father began his life on a farm Then
he took notion he would like to be "A
shipbuilder, and he went into ship
yard and learned the trade. 1t Is rather
strange that l. also, should be connected
with ships after these many years"
II have been told that your father died
when you were young"
"Yes. | was only 3 years old at the
time, That was in 1865. and the south
was almost bankrupt on account of the
war. My father left comparatively
nothing, and my mother had to support
the family, consisting of herself and
three little boys.
My mother Is a very extraordinary
woman" continued the Secretary I'm
those hard times she succeeded not only
in making our living, but She gave a
fairly good education to her three chill
dren. At first she kept a millinery
store. Then she made dresses and after
a time she became the postmistress of
the town where we lived OF course, |

| was fortunate. II is better for boy
to be born poor than to be born rich =
Had your mother any ambition to
make you a statesman"
mo, | think not. She Is pious WON
an, and her only ambition was that I
should be good man. She once hoped
that l might become preacher but my
bent seemed to be the newspaper and |
strove toward that profession. I think
that l have done better as a newspaper
man than l could have done as "a
preacher"
but you believe In religion, do you
not?"
Most assuredly do. I believe IN the
Bible and everything in it from cover to
cover. | thing more people believe that
than is usually supposed, and venture
quite as many would go to the stake
today as they did when they burned the
first Christians 1t is hard to realize
the influence of the Christian religion.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-09-07
The Secretary of the Navy

1t has touched all of the nations and has
made them better. 1t has effected all
of the people. Many men who do not
believe in religion give to hospitals
andother charities They have been
touched by Christianity without know
ing it,
do you believe the whole world will
be Christian some day."
Yes, although I doubt whether l
shall live TO see it. / believe that in
time all of The nations will come to see
the light. But Gods ways are not our
ways. 1t may be slow but 1t will come
to pass
II understand that you are greatly in

yes, that organization has been do.
ing much good 1t has great mission
ary influence, not only In the United
States. but in other countries. | want
to see it introduced on shipboard and
more fully at all naval training stations.
I have been talking With the. officers Of
the Y. NJ c. A. about that"
Take your native state, Secretary
Daniels. What kind of place is North
Carolina to be born in? Suppose you
had TO be born again, where weuld you
choose?'
North Carolina. 1t is the most demo-
cratic state in America. 1t lies as you
know, between Virginia and South Car
olina and they used to say that it was
valley of humility between two noun
tains of conceit Another story relates
to the North Carolinian who went to
New York and was there asked where
he came from. He replied: North Car
olina.' But, said the New Yorker. Il
have never heard of that state. Where
is it?' The North Carolinian replied
i VIII bound it. Virginia lies at the
north of 1t and South Carolina lies at
the south of it, and to tell the truth,
stranger, between so much lying on
both sides of it the rest of the world
hears but little of our truth-loving
state"
You are an editor, an adviser Of the
people, Mr. Daniels. Horace Greeley,
another great editor, advised the young
man of his day to go west. What
would you say?"
GO south, The south is the west of
today. Lands are cheaper there than
they are in the west, and that is the
coming part of the United States. II
you have any doubt as to the part of
the SOUTH I would say go to North
Carolina. Our people there are kindly
and humble. They still live to some
extent, the simple life Besides as
Bancroft said of them, they are free
and Independent and will not support
any government but one of their own
creation.

You have all read that his name is
Josephus Daniels, that he comes from
North Carolina. that he has been bred
and born a newspaper man, and that his
career has been that of a Jeffersonian
democrat. All that was published when
he came into office. | want to take you

In his office in the department building
he seemed big man. lie has broad

good looking man. I do mean hand

+ Indeed, he might be called plain But
he is good looking just as Abraham
= Lincoln was good looking. He looks
clean and his closest friends tell me he
is clean body and soul. His blue eyes
are bright, his dark complexion clear
and his language is pure and free from
slang. He is a man of simple tastes
and healthy tastes. He is a family man,
and picture of his wife and four boys
stands before him on Ills desk as he
grinds away at his government Job. He
is devoted to his mother His father
died when he was 3 years old. and his
mother, who is now fast approaching
so. has been both father and mother to
him all these years. The relations be-
tween the two are the closest. He
writes to her almost daily, and the let :
ters she gets are the only ones he pens
with his own hand. lie is a lover of
his wife and | feel safe in saying THAI

newspaper plant burned down at Ra-
leigh month or so ago men came in
by the hundreds and paid subscriptions
In advance for ten years to come to
help him out. He is not a rich man
and has never been a lover of money.
But at that time he said he felt like the
s richest man of all the world for he was
"a millionaire in friends"
1t is this human side of your Secre~
fary of the Navy that makes him the
despair of his clerks, When he came
into the department he slashed the red
tape at one fell blow and now news
papermen congressman or plain ordi-
nary, everyday citizens can get at the
Secretary and have all the time needed

asks is that he be closeted with his

afternoon, The most of his time before
