navy WELL GUIDED
Secretary Daniels Entitled to
Credit for His Work.
His Actions Since the Entry Of the
United States Into the War Show
That He Is Deserving Of the
Peoples Support.

Secretary Daniels has rejected the
prices demanded by producers of steel,
oil and coal, and ordered these prod
ucts delivered to the navy at prices to
be determined later by government
investigating board. The steel men
have agreed to price which the Sec
rotary deemed fair, and no investiga-
! ton on that score is necessary. The
coal and oil men IRE complying with
the order while the Investigators
work. There is every reason to be-
l1eye that the government will save
many millions of dollars by this act,
and still leave fair profit for the pro-
ducers.
In view of this, and number Of SIM
liar occurrences, isn't it about time for
administration organs to quit their
endeavOr to make Mr.. Daniels the
"goat?'
George Harvey started this work in
the North American Review, but in q
recent number Of that review Harvey
puts the reverse English on his criti-
cisms, and comedies that Daniels put
the destroyer fleet in European waters
"as If it had been dropped from the
sky"
Doubtless Mr.. Daniels has made mis-
takes. In particular, he made the mis-
take Of Understanding the impor-
lance and menace to America of the
European conflict, thereby ranking
himself with about nine-tenths of his
countrymen. But since the struggle
came home to us, someone seems to be
handling our navy in first-class fash
ion; and If Observation-Disclosures will
not give Daniels credit for positive &C.
ton, they must admit that ut least he
has the ability to get and follow good
advice.
Give Secretary Daniels fair play and
full support. If he fails to make good
under those conditions, off with his
head-but do not begin discussing his
successor or wiring for the headsman
until he has failed.

Check on Food Spectators.

Control Of food distribution will be
an assurance Of safety alike to the pro-
Queer and the consumer. There need
be no fear that it will be necessary to
exercise all the power implied in the
food control bills. The mere existence
of such power will act us n check
against unfair practices. against hoard
Ing and against speculation. The
moral influence of having such bills on
the statute books will bulwark the edu-
cational and cooperative work pro-
posed as solution Of the food and
tael problem.

Are we to permit those upon the

Once u prolific and troublesome waste
product throughout Florida, the scrub
palmetto Is now being developed into
an asset of great possibilities. Not
only has it been discovered that paper
Of good quality can be made from it,
but the manufacture Of carpets. mat.
tings, twines, rope and burlap from tho
plant is already an industry Of high
standing in the state. Only the green
leaf, or fan, is used. Claim is made
that the palmetto leaves when shred
ded and spun are very much tougher
than the grass now used for mattinss.
The green leaves are fed just, as they
are cut into the shredding aud spinning
machines, and in three minutes vthcy
come out in Irvine. This, avoids the
discolorations and losses occasioned il.

commonly used for mating. Palmetto

Our Going to School Record.

system has always been highly praised,
falls below this figure, with about 20
per cent of its population in school.
