Hyattsville, April AT meeting OF

citicism of the Secretary. but there are
many who believe that Mr.. Daniels erred
against practical wisdom when is issued
the order. which is to 80 into effect next
July.
While. for obvious reasons, no naval
officer here cares TO talk for publication
II Is still possible to obtain the navy view
of the matter. A retired rear admiral
yesterday made q statement which is an
excellent presentation of the naval Of
fcers' sides OF the case.
Secretary Daniels order" he said. 'is
simply q grstuitous public reflection upon
the United States Navy. II may be In
obedience to q certain public agitation
for the regulation Of the personal habits
of the people generally, but It seems
to me that the Secretary might have TAX
en- into account the reputation Of the
Navy for a high order Of efficiency be-
fore he issued his order. which will be
accepted throughout the world as re-
Election on the officers who have helped
to make this splendid record.
p TN my experience I have never seen
any disposition among naval officers to
drink while on duty. The whole dis
cipline and moral tone Of the personnel
has been against such practice and to
meet temptation with education and q
code of honor rather than by prohibitory
regulations.
RIo- - s~If-at-.t,It-.
THE training Of our midshipmen at
Annapolis Is deservedly ranked as the
best in this or any other country. and
Its discipline has been held UP as a
model for other educational institutions.
No alcoholic liquors are permitted at
the Naval Academy. nor are the mid
shipmen permitted the use OF tobacco.
If the young man Of twenty-one, after
this discipline. is not proof against temp
tation. he has no place in the navy, and
he does not remain long. There are
greater temptations to the naval on
sers than the use of stimulants. and the
whole effort of those who have given
heir services to build up this splendid
organization has been to have II rest
IN character. on manhood, and not on
BETTY restrictions and prohibitions.
This order will not, in my Judgment
Increase the efficiency OF the navy, be-
.ause Il tends to break down that self
discipline which has been the chief
Of naval offers, and SUBJ
'titutes for character and personal re-
possibilities petty regulations which

RAILROADS WILL

Common Carriers VIII Cooperate In

BY Peter Radford.

The leading railroad systems OF
the nation will establish market bu-
reaus to assist the farmers along their
lines in marketing their products.
The following lines have acceded to
the request Of the Farmers Union
and announced their willingness to
enter into active cooperation with
the farmers in marketing their pro

consider the action Of these giant
business concerns in determining to
cooperate with the farmers in mar

est product Of human thought on
the Western hemisphere during the
past year, and it demonstrates that
the educational work of the Farm
ers' Union has brought the nation
TO a clearer understanding Of the
real problems Of the farmer.
10 give information on market
Eng is far more valuable than 10 give
advice ON production. There is a

The railroads are the teamsters OF

railroads want tonnage.
Agriculture has many inherent
disadvantages which require com
bined effort 10 overcome in market
ing. There are millions OF produc-
ing units working independently and
selling without knowledge Of mar.
ket conditions. The harvest is once
a year, while consumption is pretty
evenly distributed throughout the
entire wear, and most Of the farm
ers, through custom and necessity
dump their entire crop on the mar
ket as soon as il is gathered. The
problem Of organizing and systema

the farmers invite assistance Of al
lines Of industry friendly to theil
