Daniels recommended a continuous
progran OF two dreadnaushts and TWO
battle cruisers In 1917, two battle
ships In 1915 and two battleships and
one cruiser in 1919. And this recon-

storm of popular indignation had
swept over the country.
Credit for the extensive program
which has been adopted does not be-
long TO Woodrow Wilson or Josephus
Daniels, but TO the American people,
who have made known their disgust
with the Wilson-Daniels peanut naval
policy In no uncertain tone. and have
actually, made their wishes regarding
the navy felt through their represen-
tatives in the two houses Of Con-
gress. II is noteworthy. moreover,
that even at this late day many Demo-
Gratis In the House voted against the

and Secretary Daniels, charging them
with having betrayed" the Little
Navy men. II Is to laugh.

THE INEFFICIENT INCUBUS.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels is
trying to score point by denying that
the Marines at Vera Cruz were ever
ordered not 20 tise until fired upon.
That is an inconsequential matter

naval force in Tampico bay to sail
away and leave beleagured American
citizens in Tampico to be rescued and

powers in the harbor How about re-
fuung that, Mr. Secretary?
This is the same inefficient incubus

proudly boasting" that the naval bill
just passed provided for the greatest

upon a deeper principle. 1t is the
principle that individual rights
may be sacrificed for the good OF
the community, and that without
reCompenSation.
Judge ComStock in 1856, quot
ing from Blackstone said: so
great is the regard Of the law for
private property, that ii will not
authorize the least violation OF 1t,
not even for the good of the whole
community" and added in the
spirit of true liberty. Beside, the
public good is in nothing more
