But his chief offending has
consisted of his assaults on the
wall Of caste which shuts out the
hope Of promotion from the COM
mon sailors.
A CHANCE FOR THE SAILOR.
Daniels has sought to democ-
ratize the navy. He wants every
young sailor to feel that through
study and performance of duty
he may become an admiral of the
feet. He has established schools
aboard ship, giving every enlist
ed man an opportunity to secure
an academic and technical educa-
ton.
AS a result, IS per cent of the
men honorably discharged are
re-enlisting. When Daniels took
charge only 81 per cent were go-
ing back to the service.
Three years ago an average of
], 300 men from the navy were
in prison. Today there are less
than 700. and two prison ships
and two disciplinary barracks
have been restored to normal use
Desertions have decreased by
II per cent and every day shows
a further improvement.
STANDS BY HIS SCHOOL
Il stand by my schools. and if
necessary 1 am willing to fall
with them, !" was the Secretary's
manly declaration in a recent in
terview. Il will have no mercy
on insolence or insubordination.
but l do not hold that discipline
is dependent upon ignorance or
the denial of an Americans
right to rise as high as his ability
will carry him."
In a subsequent letter I will
tell something about the remark
able work Daniels has performed
in rehabilitating the American
navy.

w asE,ing Letter
By Edward Kea.ing

w CS1AIx s tS|rA SS'S'>
By Edward Kea.ing
{CongressInun from tie third Colorado
District.
One of the most maligned men
in public lifeto dayis Joseph Dan
iels, of North Carolina, Secretary
of the Navy. in President Will
sons cabinet.
His enemies seldom venture to
make specific charges. They pre-
fer to use ridicule and innuendo
the cowardly weapons of the man
who has weak case.
The fact is that Daniels is one
of our really great secretaries OF
the navy. He has done more in
the last three years to increase
the fighting efficiency of our
fleets than any one of his prede-
cessors. And at that he is not a
lingo. but a sane cultured gen.
tleman who has q proper appre-
citation cf che value of ? dollar
and the worth Of a human life.
WHY HE is sLANDERED
Then why the campaign of
slander which has been SO per-
sistently waged against him?
The correct reply may be stated
uuder three heads:
He has sought to educate the
common sailor and give him q
chance to secure a commission.
This has offended the official
caste.
He has advocated government
manufacture of armor plate and
other munitions and has saved
the nation millions in naval con-
tracts. This has offended the
Greedy Munition Grafters.
He has driven strong liquor
ont of the navy. This has Of
Tended those who profit as well
as those who Perish Through
Drink.
MAKING THE NAVY SOBER
Let us consider the last first.
In 1899 Secretary Long forbade
the use of liquor aboard ship by
ENLISTED MEN. Secretary y
Daniels broadened the order so
as to include the officers. He
took this step on the advice OF
the surgeon general of the navy.
yet the order was greeted with q
storm of protest. One old ad-
miral declared that if deprived
of drink the officers might tul n
to drugs. but the secretary re.
fused to believe that our navy
was officered by such weaklings.
We were told that this policy
would make tine United States
the laughing stock of the world.
Instead. within q year. the
''world powers" were following
the example of Secretary Daniels.
The Kaiser, addressing the ma
val cadets said;
''The next war and the next
sea battle demand sound nerves
of you. NERVES WILL DE-
eide! They become undermined
through alcohol. The nation
which consumes the least alcohol
should win.
