McAdoo's Shipping Bill.

The outline of the McAdoo ship.
ping bill places his friend and apollo
glst, Stuart G. Giboney, in a some
what embarrassing position. Only six
weeks ago Mr.. Giboney was explain
ing in public letter that his friend
McAdoo had abandoned the original
shipping bill Idea and he was tour
ing the West, not as advance agent of
government monopoly Of deep sea
transportation, but as a propaganda
OF preparedness and an apostle OF
naval auxillaries.
Now comes Mr.. McAdoo with his
merchant marine Get and as the gov
eminent faces an $50, 1000, 900 deficit
to sell bonds to the amount of $780,
100000 to procure the funds with
which to embark on this venture. For
tunately for the country and for the
Democratic party, this scheme, even
with the enthusiastic backing of Mr..
McAdoo's distinguished father-in-
law, enjoys little prospect OF success.
1t is unlikely that the Republican
senators will again seek to defeat II
by tilibuster, but in the Democratic
house 1t seems likely to encounter
serious and determined opposition.
The Democratic leader, Claude
Kitchin, Is theoretically opposed to

Stuttles, whose favorlte fruit was
plug tobacco, grinned foolishly and
raced Off. In no time at all he was
back with the change.
GLOW did you ever get to Hick-
hangers and back so soon?" marvelled
Simon Simons as he pocketed the
change.
"Me didn't go to Hickhanger's." ex-
planned the village idiot with a sense
less smile. "Me went to your store"
With a horrid groan Simon Simons

I,egislation without Information.

Legislation without lnlorinatioh
This seems to be the official Ne"
Year greeting adopted by the Dem
ocratlc administration. The legisla-
ton proposed, including as 1t does a
comprehensive plan for greatly IN
creasing army and navy appropria-
tions, Is regarded by many as the
most important ever undertaken IN
this country.
Yet in spite Of this, administration
leaders propose to close to Congress
one Of the most important sources OF
information bearing upon national
defense. Orders have been issued
that army officers with views upon
national preparedness must refrain
from discussing them with or before
members Of the military committees
Of the House and Senate.
If the administration program OF
preparedness is for defense OF the
country and not defense Of the Dem
ocratlc party at the 1916 polls. this
order muzzling the officers OF the
army, especially those Of the general
staff, must be regarded as grave
error.
Representative Kahn, Of the mill
tary affairs committee, regards the
matter In a very serious light.
Accurate information is the one
essential for the intelligent enact
ment of any legislation" said the
California representative today. 1t
is doubly important in the considers
ton Of the proposed national defense
program, dealing as it does with ad-
equate protection for the homes OF
our people, their industries, and the
honor OF our flag and our country.
: administration leaders ought to
be the last, rather than the first, to
hinder the Legislative branch Of our
government in securing facts that in
any way would aid in the passage Of
Intelligent laws for national defense. :"
= Impatience over the secretive
policy of the administration Is not
confined to members Of the military
affairs committee. Representative
Miller, of Minnesota, Of the insular
affairs committee. today bitterly
criticised the president for suppress
ing information about Philippine con-
ditions.
american honor is at stake in the
Philippines" said Mr.. Miller. Dur
ing the terms of three former presi-
dents splendid non-partisan govern
mental force was established. Pres
,ident Wilson wiped this out, substl-
tuting inexperienced Americans and
natives.
Gould we know the truth we
would learn of government whose
efficiency is vastly reduced, under
which neither American sovereignty
nor American citizenship is decently
respected; one under which tens Of
thousands have died from cholera be-
cause health safeguards were re-
moved; one under which an uprising
was started last year.
President Wilson and his officials
kept from Americans knowledge Of
the real facts. Publicity! Not a
car upon a throne ever more COM
pletely kept the truth from people. F"
