Rear Admiral Frederick e. Tudor.

showing, tho effect Of excessive drink

shtpbuildlng, repairs and munitions
Of war which IL being carried out by
contract for the admiralty.
135 Do Work Of 20.
During the first week in March, Ad-
miral Tudor says, 1876 filters employed
on submarine engine works did the
equivalent Of full weeks work for
twenty-eight men.
Letters received from shipbuilders
and officers experimenting work for
the admiralty are quoted by Admiral
Tudor. These complain Of the drink
ing habits OF the men, and urge either
total prohibition, martial law or the
restriction Of the hours in which drink
may be obtained.
Tho captain superintendent OF the
Clyde In his reparts says:
I'm the shipyards last week, where
a warship was under repair. the work
on the inner bottom Of the ship was so
badly carried out as to suggest at once
on inspection that 1t could not have
been done by men who were sober. 1t
was dangerous and had to be con-
demned."
Increases Submarine Danger.
The director Of the transport re-
ported that transport work Is being
conducted under serious difficulties"
"The workmen," the director con-
tlnued, rapidly are becoming abso-
lutely out Of hand. Yesterday the
crew Of a transport deserted. The
same thing happened the day before.
Firemen go on board the transports
drunk, making 1t impossible to get up
a full head Of steam, thus greatly re-
ducing the speed and endangering the
lives Of Thousands Of troops by making
the vessels targets for submarines.

sary to withdraw all licenses to sell
intoxicating liquors turnout the coun-
try"

London, May 5-The serious effect
that drink is having on the repairs to
the warships and transport services and
in the output Of munitions is disclosed
in reports from firms and officers thru
out the country, which were published
last night in the form Of a white paper.
From Vice Admiral Sir John r. Jel.
licoe, commander in chief Of the home
fleets. down the officers responsible for
the navy are Of the opinion that the
short hours worked by the men in the
private yards is due to drink. They de-
scribe conditions as deplorable and
urge on the government the necessity
Of adopting the total prohibition of al
coholic drinks or restrictions on the
sale Of them.
Lost While Money Lasts.
The slackness Of the men, 1t is al
legged. il due to the fact that they are
earning more money than usual, and
that while they have any to spend they
will not work. Sunday work Is cons
demned, as It Is commended that the
double wages earned that day lead the
men to lay of two days during the
week.
Vice Admiral Jellicoe in a letter to
the admiralty on this subject says:
II am very uneasy about the labor
situation in the Clyde and the Tyne.

the credit of the measure just pass
ed by congress and it would be rank
injustice were she to be robbed of
the prize she has labored for so many
years. While this right is generally
conceded there is always so much Jug

IMPORTANT FOREIGN AN
NOUNCEMENTS.

An important announcement comes
from Mr.. Lloyd George, the British
chancellor, to the effect that Britain
can finance the war like the present
for five years more out of the pro-
ceeds of her foreign investments with
out attempting to negotiate another
loan for single dollar.
There had been talk that an at
tempt would be made by Britain,
France and Russia to float a joint
loan, but it is claimed that this would
not be practicable because the three
partners would be so unequal in the
matter of resources.
Chancellor George calmly announces
that the war expenditures for Britain
this present calendar year will only
amount to about ten billion dollars.
Another interesting announcement
from over there is that Of Mr.. Win
ston Churchill, first lord of the ad-
miralty, in presenting the estimates
for the navy. Lord Churchill does
not attempt to underestimate the seri-

THE 63RD CONGRESS

erican ships pay the same as foreign
sition to theDcmocratic platform
which pledged adherence to the meas
ure as passed by the Republicans and
Democrats, the president turning
about face after accepting the nomi
nation and promising to stand on the
Baltimore platform.
Through the refusal of number
of Democratic senators to be further
shackled and led like lamb to the
slaughter, the presidents pet scheme,
the purchasing measure, was
relegated to the attic to slumber un-
til the next session, along with a
number of similar relics. Of course
the house, which was overwhelmingly
Democratic, sent the bill through kit
ing, but this had no effect on the
Democratic senators who assumed the
right to think for themselves and ad-
here to the views of majority of
the people. We had the spectacle of
the president sending for senator's and
making visit to Speaker Clark's
residence to push this measure
through Notwithstanding the anti-lob-
by measure pushed through congress
two years ago at the solicitation of
the administration.
Regarding the attitude of the ad-
ministration during the past few
months of European war it is clear
the president is endeaviring to keep
within the confines of strict neutral
ity and his policy is to be commended
as well as his efforts to insist on de-
cent treatment of American shipping
by the belligerent nations. The Her.
aid may be partisan in some things
but not when it comes to general
prosperity and keeping this republic
out of war entanglements. In this
review we are willing to give the
presidentcredit for meritorious action
and legislation and for honesty in pur-
pose, but his judgment has proven
poor in regard to economic questions
such as the tariff and other matters
and the persistency he endeavored to
push through the ship-purchasing bill,
undoubtedly half of the Democratic
members being opposed to it, though
acquiescing for party harmony, indi-
Gates mind made up in advance and
determination to have his wishes
carried out, although opposed by the
best thought and large majority of
his party.

BABY LIFE TENURE.

Broadly speaking, the baby of the
man who earns $25 week or more.
has a three times greater chance of
surviving than the child of the man
who earns $40 week or less. The
child who lives in the better section
Of the city has five times a better
chance of surviving than the child
who lives in the poorest section of
the city. The baby breast fed for the
first three months of its life, has. ap-
prcximately, a four times more favor
able chance of reaching maturity than
the srtificially fed baby. These de-
drctions follow from a report of the
children's department of the bureau
OF labor, just issued, although the re-
port avoids drawing conclusions and
simply points out conditions. 1t finds
that the death rate of babies inyes-
teated was in inverse ratio to the
earnings of the father. Babies whose
fathers earned less than $40 week
died at the rate of 256 a 1000, while
those whose fathers earned s25 a
week. or more, died at the rate of 81
q 1000. 1t is shown that the infant
death rate varies greatly in sections

JUDGE LINDSEY AND THE
JUVENILE COURT.

Aside from the administration bills
we suppose more consideration is be-
ing given to what is known as the
Lindsey or the juvenile court bills
than to any other measures before the
house and senate. The reason for this
is twofold: first, because of the ex-
tTeme prejudices and the extreme ia
voritisms that are shown toward
Judge Lindsey, and, second, because
there is a general impression that the
bills have for their object the remov-
"a of Judge Lindsey from office. The
effect of making the bills laws will
be to remove Judge Lindsey from
office unless Governor Carlson sees
fiji to appoint him to the district
bnnch. A word on the bill.
At the present time the district
court grants divorces, the county
court also grants divorces, while the
juvenile court handles and distributes
The children. The principle involved
in the bills is that the same tribunal
should have complete control of the
entire affairs of the family; that it is
Unfortunate that two courts can han
ale divorces and a third court handle
the children. The bills do not do away
with the Juvenile court. They trans
fer the authority now exercised by the
juvenile court to the district court
and in counties where the population
demands, the district judges sitting
Ell panc select one of their number to
perform the work of the juvenile
judge. This judge also hears the di-
vorce proceedings. There is not a
power granted to the Juvenile court
that will not remain intact should the
bills become laws. In fact, the real
object Of the bills is to centralize all
Of the court powers regarding fam
lily disturbances and the care of chill
dren under one head.
The principle of the bills is abso-
lutely right, but there is a question as
to whether or not it is policy to en-
act them at the present time. Judge
Lindsey has been a peculiar factor in
Colorado politics and public affairs.
Whenever movement is made that
affects the judge he preys on the SEN
timents of the people which he has
built up through his original plan of
juvenile court work and causes many
people to feel that he is being op-
pressed. If it were any other judge
in the state in his position, we do not
believe there would be the least bit
Of opposition to the measure. How
ever, with Judge Lindsey there is al
ways the possibility Of causing some
one to feel that the judge is martyr
to some particular sentiment that does
not favor him.

question. 1t is a we'll known fact that
during the past four years Judge
Lindsey has not served three months
ont Of any twelve on the bench to
which he was chosen to occupy. He
spends the most of his time lecturing.
Certain it is that some man could be
found among the district judges of
Denver who could do as much juven-
lie work in twelve months at con-
tinuous work as Lindsey could do in
three.
Those who are opposing the bill say
that to enact it will hurt US with the
the state of Colorado Those who are
supporting the measure say that to
enact it will show the people outside
of the state just what the state really
thinks of the Judge. Our guess is
that it won't make one iota of diff
ference to the people outside of Colo
RADIO whether the judge is retained
in office or not. In fact, the mem
bers of the legislature should not con.

Canada, cool as the proverbial Gu

with indignation over the discovery
that the clothing equipment furnish

contain more pasteboard than leather,
and uniforms faded and shrunk and

enough at best, but to realize that
there are those who will conspire to

GLENN SCOUTON SUICIDES:
POOR HEALTH is CAUSE

Glenn Scouton, brother of Mayor

health, financial problems and other
troubles until he was on the verge of
nervous prostration and exerted every

When his accumulation of worries be-
came too heavy for him to bear, more
than once he said, "If it were not for
my aged mother, would release N.Y.

considered there was danger of his
doing so as long as she was spared
him.

he sixty third congress is thing
OF the past. After being in session
nearly two continuous years with a
clear Democratic majority in both
houses and Democratic president, it
became necessary for the congress to
ram through all the outrageous ap-
preparations in a couple of weeks
over a billion of dollars appropriated
without more thought than one ordi-
narily. gives to purchasing a horse
in fact, not halfas much. Is it any
wonder, with such business methods
in the saddle that the country will
face deficit of over one hundred mil
lion dollars at the close of the pres
ent fiscal year notwithstanding we
are paying an unheard of war tax in
time of peace--are taxed for the very
air we breathe. We cannot even send
telephone message to a neghbor-
ing town telling of the death of rel
ative or friend without contributing
TO the business inefficiency of the ad-
n,inistration; we must pay tax to
provide our property against fire loss.
II poor man wants to borrow a

"yery time the note is renewed, and
we are told the congress passed more
constructive legislation than by any
previous house. Yes, the tariff meas
ure is sure constructive legislation

While the new currency measure
may pan out and prove all that is
claimed for it, time alone will tell.
So far it has not brought about any
financial relief and is not likely to for
some time to come. And, again, the
measure is largely along lines of a
draft of measure by Republicans in
former congress. However, we will
grant that the currency measure is a
good thing and give the administra-
ton credit. Parcel post legislation
has been along lines laid down by
former administrations and to meet
