INTERESTING BUT TRITE

simply a matter of small jealousy They set up that MI
Gerard had no right to publish diplomatic correspond

selves but the other fellow got the scoop The Oregoman
answering these carpng critics says the eXambassadof
had President Wilson's consent to publish the document
This strikes u.s. does not go to the root OF the matter
for that would bring up the question whether the pres
ident had authorized Mr. Gerard to sell diplomatic
document for private gain The document by the way
is about the only thing far disclosed in Mr. Gerard
story that was not pretty thoroughly covered by cable at
the time Karl Won Weigland and Carl Ackeman,
representatives of the United Press at Berlin told as
happened most of the incidents Gerard is detailing now
and as full leased wire client of the United Press the
Daily Capital Journal received these daily reports from
the German capital Readers of this paper, therefore
will find little new to interest them III the exambassadors
articles Of course there many minor things known
only to Mr. Gerard such his conversations with the
Kaiser but even these were most Of them told in gen.
era way in the dispatches of the time We are all read

thing really new rather than because the things have

WHY DANIELS is ATTACKED

Secretary of the Navy Daniels has always been the
target of the partisan press probably because he came
up from the South, where he publisher OF news
paper and naturally partisan himself Another thing
that caused the guns of criticism to be turned upon the
secretary the fact that he swept tradition aside and
proceeded to reuvenate and modernze the navy cutting
out odme customs and red tape procedure that was
anything but popular with the old foges in the service
The influence of the aristocratic officers who were
shocked by the effort of the secretary to make real
efficient naval organization out of sleepy old sort of
yacht club brought many eastern newspapers into the
fight against the who putting the same kind OF
pep into the management of the department that had
distinguished his successful efforts in building up large
newspaper.
However Secretary Daniels is not gutter and he is
still running the navynow thoroughly effective and
fully reorganized 1t is fighting machine that any
ton might well be proud Of and the tens of thousands Of
young who have been enlisted in the service in the
past few years being trained in many useful occupa
ons while rendering faithful service to their country
The natural sequence of this condition is that real critics
of Mr.. Daniels have become less numerous, and he isl
simply target for the of narrow, Sma-fryI
political organs which must find something to crticise in
an opposition party administration there would be mol
excuse for their existence.
William G. Whitney and Josephus Daniels will goI
down in history the two most efficient secretaries of
the American navy One laid the foundation for al
modern navy and the other brought about the realization
of the formers hopes and ideals.

long hours of sweating, l take my easy

is in my heart. For have wrought all day
like thunder, toiled with vim and zest; and
though earned but little plumber, I surely
did my best. There is no finer, sweeter
feeling than that you've fairly won, when,
sending smoke wreaths to the ceiling, you
