Shaking LIN the NAVY.

Word comes from Washington TO the effect
that another shake-up In the personnel Of the
navy impends. Secretary Daniels has COM
planned to the president that certain high Of
ficers under his department have had the
temerity to oppose certain legislation that he
fevors, and to favor certain legislation that he
opposes and he wants them removed from the
service of the United States.
Secretary Daniels chief claim to fame will
rest on his services In connection with the term
inoogy OF those who go down to the on
battleships cruisers, torpedo boat destroyers
and similar craft. lie has elided such words as
port and "starboard" fore" and aft"
"aloft" and below" and substituted there
fore the ,landsmans equivalents, which
makes It lots easier for the occasional lubber
who shows up aboardship to understand what
the salt sea dogs are talking about. What else
the secretary knows about a navy has not been
disclosed but perhaps II will come out in good
season.
His present complaint has more stable
foundation, however. Officers of the navy are
in duty bound to give loyal support to their
chieftan and to show him no dlsrespect at any
time Also. they should not take part as lobby
lists. either for or against any measures pend
ing in congress Yet, when called upon by a
committee to give information the officer of the
navy is equally in duty bound to give the truth
regardless of whether 1t contradcts upsets
some statement made by the secretary This
was recently the case and may be the basis OF
the complaint of Secretary Josephus Daniels al

Democrats and Civil Service.

In its resolution condemning the gross viola
tion of the merit system disclosed by the San
Domingo incident, the National Civil Service Re-
form league endeavors to let the president down
easy by putting the blame on the secretary OF
state, Nothing is accomplished by this, for the
president and the democratic party must share
whatever odium attaches so long as the obnoxi-
Gus trading in appointments to reward political
favorites is tolerated and connived in.
Despite the plank written in the Baltimore
platform, everybody knows that the democratic
party never has been in sincere sympathy with
the civil service principle and that It has always
looked for excuses TO undo civil service reforms
inaugurated by the republicans. Practically
every new office created since the re-entry OF
the democrats 10 power has been put on the
spoils shelf by special exemption from civil SER
vice rules. Even now the democratic post
master general is said to be at work on a
scheme TO throw rural free delivery back in the
trough by putting II on the basis OF star-route
contracts instead Of direct employment
The pledge TO make merit and ability the
standard OF appointment and promotion rather
than service to a political party" would mean
something In the republican platform, but in
the democratic platform It is belied by the
partys" whole record.

OMAHA, Feb. 1S-To the Editor OF The

rumor that strong influence Is being
brought to bear upon Edward Walsh.
candidate for sheriff at the last fall
election, with the view OF gaining his
consent to run for city commissioner at
the coming spring election.
hope this rumor is not only true. but
that Mr.. Walsh will SEQ his way clear TO
accept, for he would be an honor to this
city as an official All who know Ed
Walsh know him as a man of strong per-
sonality, unimpeachable character, ster-
ling qualities and one whose untiring
efforts have made him liked and re-
spected by all who have come in contact
with him in the business or social world
He is a man who by training and ex-
perience is fitted for the office OF COM
missioner. fle had lived in our city for
forty-five years and has always beer
conspicuous in city and state politics
and municipal betterment He believes
In the people MANAGING public utilities
which so vitality concerns their pocket

progressive city in every shape and form
trust that the men who are urginl
Mr.. Walsh to enter the race will be sue
cessful and then the voters will remem-
Der how he has always stood with tn,

Drop the Detention.

The campaign in behalf OF Senate File No. 6
Is being carried on by means Of such deception
ohicanery and Juggling Of facts as ought to make
its advocates blush. Stretching the truth is not
enough for their purposes and downright mis-
statements are resorted to, well as the tell
ing Of half-truths, which is the most despicable
form Of lying.
What the public should keep in mind is that
Omaha now has the power to vote bonds to build
or buy an electric lighting plant. No further
legislation along this line is needed. The pur-
pose of Senate File No is to permit the Metro
politan Water District, which is not Omaha, to
use surplus money, extracted from the water
users by high rates, to experiment in light pro-
duction.
The Water board has enough to do in man
aging the affairs of the water district No good
end can be served by extending its powers to
include the business of public lighting.

Free sneech in Nebraska.


An effort is being made at Lincoln to hamper
the right OF free speech and free publication by
providing for the issuance OF order restrain
ing the publication OF any libelous or slanderous
matter, or matter which the complainant says is
calculated to injure him in any way more
perncious attack on the fundamentals of free
dom has never been undertaken in this state, and
we hope never will be.
The newspapers OF Nebraska are not asking
any special privileges; under existing laws they
are held vigorously accountable for their pub
lished expressions To place II within the power
OF Judge to enjoin the publication OF an ar
tcle would put the newspaper at the mercy OF
any adventurer, who thus could prevent ex-
posure until too late to head off his crooked
work. 1t would defeat the very end for which
all have been striving so earnestly, the cure OF
dark-antern evils by the light of publicity.
No honest man need dread newspapers ef-
forts; the schemer in the dark is always afraid
OF what may be published. The honest man needs
no protection from a reputable newspaper; the
dishonest man deserves none The legislature
should go mighty slow in the matter OF restrict
ing the activity of the best known medium of
publicity, the newspaper.

OMAHA. Feb. 1b--To the Editor Of The
Bee: I. on behalf of myself and a great
number of your readers, would respect
fully suggest to City Attorney Rine 10
add TO his charter amendment clauses
when presenting them TO the lesisle-
ture). one radically increasing the appro-
priation for police. as the present allow
srce is far from sufficient to maintain
enough men to properly patrol city
with the large area Of Omaha and pros
pectively greater Omaha In the near fu-
ture. We realize the fact that we nave
outgrown the requirements of one dingy
shack. dignified with the title Of rolice
HEADQUARTERS, and really should have at
least three stations-two outlying and one
centrally located. We are fast developing
into a city of the metropolitan rank and
should rise to the occasion. divest our
selves of the primitive simplicity Of the
eorly days and don the garb of civic pre-
dominance which is certainly our right
by virtue of our first-class financial. hotel
and mercantile. and all the other systems
which are the component unit OF a great
city. These conditions naturally attract
all classes OF people, among them as a
matter OF COURSE, lne
ness the tragedy few days ago in our
midst; that and similar occurrences dur
ing the last year, clearly putting into the
spotlight our lack OF the requisite number
of officers to cover our large expanse of
territory
| do not wish to pose as an alarmist,
nor am | rejecting on the efficiency OF
our police officials, but the one slsring
feet | wish TO emphasize is the mean,
nggardly allowance provided for the
chief instrument in the maintenance OF
law and order, a well-disciplined, eff
clent, honest police establishment. Hence
/ would suggest 10 our public bodies
commercial, financial, realty. etc, and
our citizens at large-the propriety of i'm
pressing on the legislative and city au-
thorities the Importance OF keeping our
police and fire departments up to the
standard of modern conditions, which Is
the surest guarantee of safety, peace and
order characteristic of civilized and moral
communities. and of which Omaha should
of right be In the place of honor which
1t is entitled to through grit persistency
and enterprise of its pioneers, and Of
which we are the beneficiaries.
So. in conclusion. l will say let Us get
together and with a long pull and a
