in the world the Alabama authorities merit the
commentator of everyone who believes in law
enforcement. The basic issue at Girard, where
vast stores of whiskey are said to have been con-
cealed for the purpose of illicit sale, is not the
why and wherefore of prohibition but the integrity
and well-being of the State Once enacted, law
should be upheld long as it is the statute

ally, one may approve disapprove many different
laws, but good citizen he will obey, them in
letter and spirit, realizing that this broad prin-

protection of society. '., ......
Alabama has stringent prohibition law. If
the people wish repeal it, there orderly proc
esses for doing so. But there should be no toler-
of its violation. Defiance of this statute tends
certainly to bring others into disregard, and in
time to breed spirit of general lawlessness. From
the drastic measures which the authorities have
taken, it appears that the situation at Grard

ment grow in respect all laws at all times and in

Senatorial Courtesy"

OF the forty-two Senator's including number
of Democrats, who voted against the Presidents
appointment of Mr.. George Rublee a member of
the Federal Trade Commission, only raised
any objection against the nominee himself; and
that one was moved solely by personal grudge.
The others simply followed the sheepish precedent
of what is known as Senatorial courtesy" and re-
jected valuable public in Difference to the
petty spleen of one of their colleagues. -s
AS far as ability and character were concerned,
Mr. Rublee's fitness for the office was unques-
toned. Under appointment, he had served
on the Commission and was well versed in its
duties Evidently, he the best available man
for the place But because he CHANGED to be po-
litically distasteful to Senator Gallinger, Re-
publican, of New Hampshire from whose State
he comes he was rejected Senator Ganger, it
should be noted, iG of the few surviving relics
of incorporating reactionism, known for his
opposition to progress and reform, and for his
allegiance to special interests. 1t this poll
tician who persuaded Democratic members of the
Senate to abandon the Administration of
the most important appointments of the time. The
New York World well observes:
I'm no other legislative body in the world
is there a man big enough to make his malice
supreme No Duke or Earl exercises such
autocratic power in the House of Lords. No
sovereign of England today ventures, by pre-
rogatve or otherwise to exert the royal will
in way so arbitrary and .capricious. This
practice is hereditary and is due to the fact
that the Senate started wrong and has
had the virtue to correct its faults. Senate
rial courtesy is nothing but Senatorial be-
trayal of public rights. 1t becomes
treacherous and menacing when, is often
the case it is used to cloak political trading
in furtherance of private ends
When Senatorial courtesy" reaches the ex-
treme of blind slsvshness that it reached in the
Rubee case the time has come to blot it out
When forty-odd Senators vote against their own
intelligence and their own duty simply to accom-
modate the prejudice OF one, the time has

In recent practice of the Atlantic fleet at
Guantanamo, American gunners riddled moving
target at a distance of eighteen thousand yards
approximately ten miles. This record is source
of keen satisfaction at time when the navy's
shortcomings discussed broadly and when
its needs are so manifest
ut may or may not be true" remarks the
Brooklyn Eagle, that ten miles is the max
imum of range owing to the limitation of. hui
man sight 1t is understood that in the
North Sea battle between the Lion and the
Bluecher, firing began at sixteen miles, though
there no hits at that distance. We need
more ships we need, above all, battle cruisers
fast as we'll powerful. But granted equal
opportunities, we have a right to feel that the
man behind the gun be depended upon by
his country" ..3.
This is a wholesome sentiment to cling to-
while we are intent on the navy's relative unpre-
paredness. The very fact that our navy is admir-
able as far as it goes should make action the more
prompt in rendering it adequate we'll as efficient
Because 1t is navy to be proud of, the side of
its personnel, it merits generous consideration as
regards its great needs.
