Still Josephus.

As Francis Wilson. the actor used TO say
with So much effect in "Erminie'' "A man
ought to know what he said" That IS
only one reason for preferring Admiral
Fiske's version of what passed between
him and Secretary Daniels. Josephus' ny
nrcarrangement with Chairman Padgett o.
Tho IIouse Naval Committee, has been able
70 inject into the record Of the committee s
hearings an explanation Of his controversy
with the admiral which imputes the lat
ter's estimate of the navy's Deficiencies 10
niouc. The admiral now writes in refuia-
tion Of this imputation, and the unruiiied
tone Of the letter, its candor, to say moth
inc, of its content Of fact, will lead the
public as Of yorc to put its faith IN the
gallant sailor as against the slurs OF the
politician. .,
But what the public is more Interested
in-bcgging the admiral's pardon-than
the motive behind his criticism of the navy
is the accuracy Of this criticism. IS the
navy only - per cent efficient? Is Its
fiobting strength only half that OF Ger
manv's navy? 1t is precisely these charges
and others like them made by Admiral
Fjske which the Secretary has lodged
When a man refuses TO meet an accusation

is safe to assume that the accusation has

Expert Opinion Overridden.

Sir: Professor Usher's splendid article
Campaigning without Preparedness IN yes
terdays issue ought to be read By every citi-
zen OF this country. A stronger argument for
reasonable military preparedness would be
hard to imagine.
was especially interested in the state
ment that any blame FOR deficiencies or
trouble must not rest upon the army officers,
"for they have talked till their tongues hung
out, and have written until their hands fell
off. and the pigeonholes Of the Washington
department are crammed with their recon-
mendations and requests
The fault lies evidently with the civilian
heads of the army. They have apparently un-
dertaken to override the expert opinion OF the
professional military men, with pretty much
the same result as when lay board Of trus-
tees of hospital undertakes to decide what
instruments and apparatus the surgeons are
to use in the performance Of their duties.
Since the men who hold the purse strings IN
this way determine policy, the result IN either
case is disastrous. SO much is obvious.

In the Horses Behalf.

The Committee on Thoroughfares OF the
Board of Aldermen viii accord hearing
on Monday to those interested in the wei
fare of the truck horse. The friends Of
the truck horse will lie there to urge favor
able action on an ordinance which provides
that he be so shod in winter as to prevent
his slipping on the Ice coated streets.
Unfortunately his eXploiters will be there
too. no doubt, to oppose any such legisla-
ton. in the belief that cruelty IS less
costly.
II probably would not take a genius at
figures to prove to disintercsted person
the folly of such belief. When strug-
Cling horse goes down on a slippery pave
ment and breaks his leg his loss more than
offsets the price of rubber pads or chains
or calked shoes for a large stable of horses.
And if he escapes fracture or even a
fall. vet the nervous wear and tear on him
entailed in a constant slipping shortens
the period of his usefulness, sends him to
the discard before his prime. Cruelty IS
always short sighted and uneconomical.
But the trucking interests (of course there
are shining cxceptions) are blind to such
arguments. They prefer to take chances
rather than to incur the small initial out
Law for protective devices. Their pocket
books are as tightly clampcd as their
hearts.
And they are well organized and politl-
callv intrenched. 1t will be necessary for
the friends of the horse to appear at this
hearing in such numbers and possessed of
such determination as to prove beyond a
question to the members Of the aldcrmanlc
committee that the people arc with the
horse. The aldermen concerned are: Al
dermcn Stapleton, chairman; Mullen, Nc
Cam, Ryan, Bent, Dunn, Drescher, Mar
tin. Curley, Smith and Quinn. Whether
we have another winter Of long drawn out
suffering for mans most faithful servltor
will depend largely on what they do Mon
day.
In the mean time it may be we'll for
these gentlemen to understand that the
public has its eye on them.

Temperance and Advertising.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Ex-Representative Hobson and the
Committee of Fifty to Investigate the LID
uor Problem" agree in estimating that so
per cent of the adult males of the country
drink alcoholic beverages habitually or occa-
sionaly. OF this so per cent less than per
cent drink to such excess as to injure their
health.
How many Of the 23O00.Oo0 men who use
liquor drink because Of liquor advertise
ments? / doubt that / per cent of the total
number is induced to drink by this cause.
Advertising may influence the choice of liz
uors, but it is hardly possible that any alb
staner ever takes to drinking through read
ing about liquor.
If so per cent of The Tribune's readers
are moderate or occasional drinkers il doesn't
seem that they could be much harmed by pc
rusing the advertisements OF their accus-
toned beverages. As for the 5 per cent that
are too weak-wiled 10 drink in moderation.
it is doubtful whether many of them read
paper Of the high class Of your journal.
So am moved 10 wonder just how or why
the cause of temperance, in which all right
thinking men and women must believe, will
be advanced ~ your refusal to accept liquor
advertisements. ". G.

No Censors Needed.

n passing the Cristman bill for mo-
ton picture censorship the Senate has
declared for two thngs-for a state con-
troll Of films, to be handled by three en-
ploves of the Board of Regents, and for a
tax on motion picture films under the
puise of an examination fee. 1t is I'M
likely that any proposal to tax motion
pictures would be made if the censorship
feature were absent. That feature should
be absent-so far absent as to be nom
existent.
Nothing could be stupider, as a matter
Of state policy, than 70 undertake to cen
sor anything written, published or pre-
sented by pictures. And specifically there
is now probably less real occasion for any
interference with the commercial output
Of motion pictures, on the score Of decency
and morality, than there ever has been in
the brief history of the industry. The
manufacturers have learned that smut
and suggestiveness don't pay.
II is instructive, in connection with this
misguided measure, 10 recall the words
used by the late Mayor Gaynor in vetoing
an ordinance for "A censorship engineered
through the Board Of Aldermen here by
some wel-meaning but unenlightened and
uniformed reformcrs. "Thcrc seem 10 be
