Surely the officers should be in all re-
sDects models for the enlisted men in duty
habits, and department, and the example OF
officers drinking aboard ship, as fostered by
the wine mess, and the numerous courts-mar-
tial of officers for drunkenness and the effects
of alcohol are destructive Of discipline and
morals, bad for the enlisted men, and detri-
mental to the reputation and good name OF
the service
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1914-04-10

The saddest hour IN my official lite is when
an officer or enlisted man must be punished
for lntOxlcat1On.
During the last week it has been my pain
full duty to approve courtmartial for dismis
sal from the service of an officer for lntoxlca-
ton He told me that he had never tasted
Intoxicating drink until he did SO in the wine
mess on his cruises. Others, who have been
disciplined for drinking to excess have made
similar statements to me.
Officers are now commissioned at the
early age of twenty-five years Has the gov
eminent right to permit this temptation
which too often destroys the highest useful
ness of young officers? I think not. If there
is one profession more than any other that
calls for clear head and steady hand it is
the naval profession
I believe experience has demonstrated
that uniform rule should prevail in the navy
for all who enlist in the service, from the
highest rank to the youngest enlisted man or
officer who comes into the service and that
the abolition of the wine mess will be justified.
BREASTED Wants Model Officers.
AS matters stand today" wrote Surgeon
General BREASTED to Secretary Daniels, IAN
enlisted man is very properly subjected to
severe disciplinary measures if wine or beer
be found in his possession on shipboard, yet
the same man is constantly aware of the free
use of alcoholic liquors on board ship, which
is officially permitted to officers, and the too
frequent derelictions which occur among
them in consequence. The prohibition of
alcohol to the men has rendered alcoholism
among them almost negligible quantity.

VIEWS OF READERS
ON TIMELY TOPICS
Contributions That Reflect Public Opin.
ion on Subjects Important to City,
State and Nation.

To the Editor Of the EUenino Ledger:
Sir-The splendid work of the EVENING
LEDGER In calling attention to the child labor
evil at this time should result in great good
for the working boys and girls of Pennsylvania
This is a most opportune time and feel keenly
the necessity for every voter ascertaining ex-
acty how the candidates for the State Senate
and House of Representatives in the district
in which he lives stand upon the question OF
eight hour day and the abolition of night
work for children under 16. The Association
feels that every man who is running for Office
and is not willing to pledge himself to vote for
these two provisions should be defeated.
1t is n favorite contention of the manufac-
turers and other employers of children that they
cannot work their older employees more than
eight hours a day and their children under Is
only eight hours. This is not true. If any
manufacturer will only show willingness so
to arrange his schedule as to keep the children
busy eight hours and the machines and other
employees longer time, he will find that Il is
comparatively simple matter. This was very
clearly proven in Massachusetts. In that State
they passed child labor law which went into
effect last September, containing much the
same provisions | have outlined for the
proposed legislation in Pennsylvania. At
there was great cry on the part of the manu-
features that they would have to discharge all
children under 16. The law went into effect
on the first of last September, and on that date
there 10000 children at work under 16 in
the industries of Massachusetts and New Jer-
sey. - .
Child labor is at once the cheapest and dear
est form of labor. Manufacturers and others
employ children because they can get them at
n small price. But when one considers their
wastefulness and inattention, there is con-
siderable financial offset, and by sapping the
strength of the young manhood and young
womanhood of the State, through working the
children long hours, a price is paid in the de-
teriorating standard of humanity which makes
child labor the very dearest form of labor that

Shocks From Ice Cream Plunges

Tee CREAM has won official standing as
| a food. 1t used to he considered a sort of
thermal debauch; you expended untold
pounds of energy in melting it. The cream
value was nothing compared with the waste
in bringing it up to the temperature OF the
human interior. But some of the doctors
have changed all that. Ice cream is now the
best number on the program the perfect
close to the alimentary entertainments And
it is that same chilliness which does the
trick. The ice acts like cold plunge i'll the
morning, shock which leaves the stomach
in a glow Of reaction Such is the new theory
that has made triumphant progress among
the young Yet doubt remains. y bath
is a shock but it is sudden, brief. You don't
have to sit in the water until you've raised
it to your own temperature. Ice cream is

to be characteristic Of American ma ners It
is largely through this natural disposition OF
the public that the political boss has climbed
into power and. in many cases, remained
there. What he has secured for his con-
stituents has been appreciated and thanks
have been duly rendered. Pork In rivers

THE IDEALIST

When trouble comes a very peculiar per-
sonal trait asserts itself. This trait is born
Of the failing from which nearly all failiugs
spring the falling Of keeping the mind on
self.
one thinks that his or her troubles are the
worst I'm the world. The tendency is 10 lose
sight of the fact that other folks have trou-
bcs just serious When the troubled
mind accepts this truth its own burden be-
comes lighter.
An old Philadelphia minister frequently
told his congregation, Friends no matter
how badly you feel about something, Just re-
member that there are other souls whose
troubles are vastly deeper than yours"
No matter how serious your trouble il is
only a simple mental process to conceive
Of 1t being worse. The thing 10 do is 10
thank your lucky stars that it does not reach
the limit-or near the limit-of your own
imagination.

SPARE PRISONERS HUMILIATION

To the Editor of the EUeHin0 Ledger:
Sir-From Il window of New York train
few days ago ! saw a dozen more men in
striped uniforms working in the fields which
bordered the railroad tracks. They We're
blowing and doing the late harvesting They
of the county prison at Holmesburg.
Some of the men undoubtedly thieves,
but among them also were men whose worst
offense drinking too much or fighting. In
my opinion prison a house of correction is
a place TO reform man, not to humiliatc him.
Why not do away with this kind of labor for
the same reasons that made the ducking stool
and the stocks unpopular generations ago?

Old Issues in New Primaries

NTEW YORK holds it's first primaries today.
~ 1t will doubtless afford some relief to
the voters of that state to use the oppor-
tunity of thinning out the number ot can
didates for the Governorship and certain other
Offices. There have been so much Drawing
and bilungsgate and general confusion that
the voters will bc lucky if they can see any
issue at all except the old ones of Tammany

attention. ana today the principal issue at

i L was the chief manufacturing city in
the country, and It was believed that
when the Pennsylvania Railroad was COM

The Pennsylvania Railroad was completed
in 1851 and its advent did prove factor IN

DONE in PHILADELPHIA

TNOR the last five years there has been an
Il agitation fer the restoration of the
carrying trade of Philadelphia, and already
the movement is displaying signs of bearing
fruit. II is a problem that will only be
solved by the years to come, whether the
port ever will regain its proud place as the
foremost in the United States
The other day we considered the causes
that led to the fight of the American flag
from the seas during the period of the Civil
War; and now we might take a glance at
the alleged reasons why Philadelphia, in
1920 the leading port of this country should
surrender her place on the list.

MEXICAN VIEWS-VERSE

To the Editor Of tho EveninD Ledger:
Sir
Better let the soldiers stay
Down in Mexico, while they
Need wise pfotectorate
over those who rule the State:
A queer bunch most any day
They may break out in a fray.
Some old Chapeau in the ring
Down there is n common thing.
Fact is they don't want war cease;
No place for a dove of peace
Anywhere in Mexico:
1t would be unwise, Woodrow.
To call home the soldiers now,
At the outbreak of a row,
'TwiXt Carranza and his mate
Villa, bout ruling the State.
If it need be let them stay
Til the break of judgment day.
Or maybe We'll have to take
For the common peoples sake
Like did the Isles from Spain,
And not give them back again,
The old land until our light
Shows them how to rule Alright
