SONG AND THE NAVY

Humor has crept into discussions of the
naval situation of the United States.
This has been due partly to the ban
placed by Secretary Daniels on the play
ing and singing of the popular Tipperary
song. Three New York papers have en-
tered into keen rivalry for the prize
which may be awarded for the best an
swer to the New York Worlds question::
"Why should navy which has Josephus
Daniels for a Secretary want to sing?'
To this "satirical and ungenerous ques-
tlon," as the Sun calls 1t, the Times
makes the answer:
"a navy that has Josephus Daniels for
a Secretary must sing to keep Its mind
off its troubles, and it should begin sing
ing right away, before he issues an order
abolishing music. Sing 1t must and shall,
though the notes waver and voices break.
There It stands and sings; God help it, 1t
can do no otherwise"
Apropos of the original order, the New
York Herald says:
= Longer and harder than the road to
TippeTary will be the distance Secretary
Daniels must cover before he convinces
the people that this latest divagatlon is
more than the mereSt idleness. 1t may,
perhaps, go far and fare we'll with the
German voter, but ii can serve only to
irritate the sense of dignity and proper
tion of the other 80 per cent. of our eiti-
zens, worn out with vagarles and foolish
nesses that have hurt and are continuing
to hurt our good name at home and
abroad"
But the serious side OF the naval situa-
tion does not escape.

coLoRADo's TROUBLES

The appointment by President Wilson
of n commission to deal with the strike
situation in Colorado has been received
by editorial writer's with expressions OF
widely divergent opinion. The Detroit
Free Press points out that there are al
ready two Federal agencies at work on
the strike. The Rochester Express
says that the appointment Is "at least
prematDre." The New York Sun hints
that President Wilson has assumed the
role of n tyrant in Colorado. The New
York World, Globe and Tribune, the Chi
cago Journal, the Hartford Post and a
large number of others express hearty
approval of the commission, both in re-
gard to its personnel and its purpose.
1t may be that the members of this
commission will be able to get the war
ring factions together 1t is certainly de-
sirable that they should, for the Colorado
situation is insufferable.
The Presidents plan for a resumption
of work and the arbitration OF the dis
puted points one by one Is eminently fair.

ators that they have refused to accept

PALMER PLEDGES
HIMSELF TO FIGHT
FORPARTY PURITY
Will Continue in Effort to
Rehabilitate Democratic
Organization in Pennsyl-
vania.
rrRom 4 STAFF CORRESPONDENT


WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Representa-
tive a. Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania,
who a few days ago was quoted as say
ing he would not accept a Federal ap-
pointment if one were offered him at the
close of his present term in Congress. be-
cause he desired to devote himself to the
upbuilding of the Democratic party in his
State, explained today what he meant by
that observation.
Feeling that there is now more need for
vigorous. militant organization than
before the election, Mr.. Palmer said 1t
was his plan to return to the practice of
law. I'm Stroudsburg and keep in the
closest touch with politics as the Demo-
cratic National Committeeman from
Pennsylvania. He cannot be dislodged
from that position no matter how strong
the opposition may become to his faction
until 1916 He and his associates have not
entirely decided upon their program, but
one thing that will be done will be the
maintenance of a legislative bureau in
the Pennsylvania Legislature.
This bureau will keep tabs on the votes
of members of the Legislature on all
matters of vital public interest, and dis
semlnate the information 10 the local
newspapers. Its especial mission will be
to show by the votes of Democrats the
line of cleavage with the Republican or
ganization.
81 have not entirely arranged for my
program" said MT Palmer. "One thing
Is certain, I shall keep up the fight along
the line it was started in Pennsylvania.
have no idea of quitting, and defeat in
the last election only makes 1t more i'm
portant to battle for high ideals.
THE Democratic party must keep itself
free from entangling alliances and de-
stroy the bipartisan machine. 1t has now
rid itself of the whisky element. which
went to the Republican party in the last
election. 1t is now a part of independ-
ence, clean and responsive to right things.
The fight before US is to maintain It so
that we might be acceptable to the inde-
pendent citizens OF the State"
There win be a meeting OF Democratic
leaders shortly, when plans for the future
will be outlined and the causes OF de-
feat in the last election discussed. The
opinion prevailing among the Democrats
Is that the tarifr worked disaster and
that there is plenty before an independent !
Democracy to work for in behalf of the |
people.

IN COMMERCE
AND FINANCE
Significant Events and Tendencies
in the World of Stocks and
Bonds.

The general betterment in the financial
situation was reflected this week in the
upturn of bond prices at the resumption
Of business on the New York and Phila-
delphia Stock Exchanges. The action OF
the Philadelphia Stock Exchange gov
ernors in permitting trading in stocks
under restrictions, as well as in bonds
created an especially favorable i'm
preston.
Reports of German liquidation of Sc
curities, which at first created some un-
easiness, failed to check the rising ten
dency for any length of time The issues
which went Off slightly on these reports
later regained more than their losses, not
ably Chesapeake and Ohio convertibles,
southern Pacific convertibles and the
Rock Island issues. all of which are un-
derstood to be held in considerable guam
titles abroad. The same might be said
of Pennsylvania Railroad stock

Both time funds and commercial paper
also receded. There was a considerable
supply of money, both for call and time,
and no difficulty was experienced in ne
gotlating loans where the collateral Of
fered was suitable to the lender.
Several Stock Exchanges in interior sec
tons Of the country opened for business
during the week, and the prices recorded
were generally upward. II was significant
that the volume of business increased as
the week progressed so that the total
sales of both bonds and stocks on the
New York Stock Exchange were the
largest yesterday since the market re-
sumed on last Saturday.
The upward trend of prices occurred in
the face of announcements of various re-
ductions of dividends and pessimlstic ut
terances from the steel trade. On the
other hand, copper prices advanced.

The possibility OF pluckng great red

II ii be true that the President is deter
mined to press the issue of Government
owned merchant vessels and is to make
this q prominent feature of his coming an
nual message, his enunciation is not likely
to strike popular chord. As n practical
means of solving the problem of a mer-

promising. The only thing that gave the
proposal any title to serious consdera-
ton was the special emergency existing
at the time 1t was first advanced by the
Administration. when It looked as IL the
responsibility OF maintaining ocean trade
while the great maritime countries of
Europe were at war would rest largely
upon the United States. That emergency
has now passed. and shipping has largely
been restored to normal conditions, and
