Democracy Divided Against Itself

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Josephus Daniels has persistently
stated that the passing mark Of the Naval
Academy is but 6217 per cent, and has init
mated that it is so low that he would not feel
justified in lowering it. have undertaken to
look IN this assertion of the Secretary OF
the Navy. and find that, with the change of
marking instituted at the recent semi-snnusl
examinations. 62is per cent really means a
knowledge Of the subject rating at least So
TO 50 per cent.
After writing TO certain men in the
Academy have been informed that at no pre-
vious examinations have the markings been
computed as those Of this year Among the
men Of the brigade it is gusrdedy whispered
that determination to rid the Academy OF
certain informants was accountable for the
so-called determinations in the selection OF
the dropped midshipmen, and that others were
allowed to go in order TO give an air OF regu-
iarity to the procedure
That the appointee Of Francis Burton Har-
rison. Governor OF the Philippines, should
have been the man selected as the sacrifice
Is but another of the many glaring afronts
TO Democrats that this Administration is
guilty of. Had Mr.. Harrson's appointee been
among the men TO fail in two, three or four
subjects some excuse might have been found
for drastic action, but the appointee of the
Governor General was below the mark in but
one subject. had few dement's and stood well
in his class.
This Administration is house divided
against itself, and even in so small a case as
the affairs Of the midshipmen Mr.. Daniels has
been petty to those who are responsible for
the return Of the party 20 power.

Herbert Smalley, giving the results of a
thorough personal investigation made by hlE'
Of the results of prohibition in Arizona. Mr..
Smalley states that the savings accounts OF
the state banks increased nearly half mill
ion dollars in eight months, because laborers,
who formerly "blew in" their earnings in the
saloons, saved their pay checks and opened
bank accounts. The total deposits of all state
and national banks in Arizona increased
nearly $4,000 900 during the same period.

The Bowery Forever!

Father Knickerbocker, like Cromwell,
would like his portrait drawn, thank you,
with not a line or wart missing. lie
wants no erasures to make him pretty or
TO increase his responsibility. He's busy
all the while with self-improvement, but
he's too big and vital and self-respecting
for pretence. and his blemishes only make
his personality the richer.
What's this Infamous proposition, then,
to rename the Bowery Central Broad
way? A little knot of real estaters and
retail merchants are whispering about
that the Bowery has suffered loss of
prestige in the minds Of provincial Amer
ica through association with romantic
thugs and other hobgoblins of rural mag
ination and through celebration IN that
ancient song
The Bowcry, the Bowcry,
They say such things and
They do such things,
On the Bowery.
These feeble pietsts would have US drop
the famous old name. now that the bowery
seems in a fair way to moral and material
Improvement. and to forget for business
reasons that woven through the heart oil
the city's history was this rich thorough
fare of raw life, "A heartburn, As 1t were,
in the DAYS of acute municipal indigestion.
We might argue with such gentlemen
that the Bowery, for all its decline into
comparative responsibility, still has a pow
erful fascination for the country visitor
anxious to rub elbows with wickedness,
and that it might not pay to eliminate
this from among the attractions of the
city. But we prefer to adopt Big Tim
Sullvan's appeal to the sentiment Of New
Workers. Have they become such prudes
that they now wish to disown the mellow
CHAPTER Of civic life to which this name
is a talisman? We think not.
Central Broadway! There must be
thousand Central Broadways. Certainly
there are many thousand Broadways OF
one description or another. But there is
only one Bowery, and when it becomes
again. as in Colonial days, an avenue OF
wealth, and possibly of fashion, it will be
all the more distinguished for IT'S loyalty
to more humble days.
