ducible extent. On this subject the Secre-
tary of the Navy is fervently, almost mys-
tically eloquent.
More is the pity that the two most inter
csting naval facts in contemporaneous
American history should be so utterly un-
related, ridclcet:
First: II is the only navy IN the world
wherein an average boy. without genius
merely by industry. cleanliness and com
mon sense. may rise to be an admiral
Therefore it is. as Mr.. Daniels romantl-
cally says. the most democratic navy IN
the world.
Second The United States, with a
naval frontier of 21,OOO miles, stretching
half way around the world, has notorl-
ously inadequate navy, even for defensive
nurposes. and such as it has is unprepared
for war.

credit for the fact that any American boy

responsibility for the fact that the Amer

tails as inconsequential, Mr.. Olney struck
off his famous phrases. In them he laid
bare, as no other American statesman
ever did. the ultimate implication of the
Monroe Doctrine. in so far as that doc
trine asserts the hegemOny Of the Onlted
States in the Western Hemisphere.
Last year. in defending President Will
sons Mexican policy, Mr.. Olney seemed
to hedge on the doctrine Of unlimited
sovereignty which he propounded when
in Mr.. Clevelands Cabinet. He seemed
ready to abandon Monroeism for Pan
Americanism. But this lapse in the heat OF
a political campaign cannot prejudice ms
right TO be considered the framer OF the
Olney corollary to the Monroe Doctrlne-a
corollary whose logic the United States
will have to face frankly some day, decid-
ing either to throw it overheard or throw
overheard the new-fangled heresy of Pam
AmericaniSm.
Mr.. Olnev was man of decided opm-
ions and of great courage IN expressing
them. As Attorney General he supported
President Cleveland effectively IN breaking
up the Debs railroad strike. He once re-
fused to try to enforce the Sherman
antitrust law because he said that any
good lawyer could drive a coach and four
through that law. He remarked sar-
donically of declaration of opinion on
foreign affairs volunteered by the House
Of Representatives in non-legislatlve
resolution that the Administration would
give it the same polite consideration that
1t would give to the opinion of any other
group of citizens of equal respectablllty.
President Wilson in 1913 offered Mr.
Olnev the Ambassadorship to Great Britain.
This honor was declined. 1t would have
been happy inspiration if the President
had invited the ex-Secretary to return to
the State Department. Mr.. Olney was
statesman, diplomatist and a sound
American. The record Of the last four
years would probably have been vastly diff
ferent and vastly more satisfying to
American pride if Mr.. Olney had con-
sented to round out his career in an Office
in which he had already achieved fame by
the vigor and candor Of his policies.
New-York tribune., 1917-04-10
Respect for the National Anthem

The present seems the best Of possible
moments for taking THE Star-Spangled
Banner" out Of medleys and onesteps and
what-nots and restoring it to the status
of the anthem that it is. The Tribune
has much sympathy with those Americans
who object to performing the ceremony OF
standing when "The Stars Spangled Ban
ner" is maltrcated almost beyond recOgni-
ton. 4 letter from a correspondent re-
Gently recitcd am episode in cafe; the
national anthem was ingenously distorted
into ragtme and thus danced to by a
frisky chorus, and those who refused to
arise and stand at attention were accorded
black looks by their neghbors. \ prompt
protest to the management that would
perpetrate such an abuse would seem the
truly sensible action. There is also the
case of the tuneleSs people who can
scarcely be expected to recognize the ma
tional anthem when it is sandwiched in be-
tween Dixie" and "Old Black Joe" with
an accompaniment of Yankee Doodle" on
the trombones.
Just one rule will prevent this con-
fusion, and that is the rule of the army
that the national anthem shall always be
played through complete and shall never
be played in a medley. Public opinion
ought TO be enough TO change the careless
misuse which assimilateS "The Star-Span-
gled Banner" to the rank Of alexander S
Ragtime Band" Legislation upon such a
matter is apt to be unsatisfactory, and in
this particular case there would exist the
danger Of restricting a perfectly leglti-
mate musical use of the national theme,
such as is found in Madame Butterfly, -
for example. Let the public speak loudly
enough and the disrespect will come to a
natural end.
