Long Island Kennel Club takes place
track, where full list of tifty-seven
standard breeds will be on exhibition.

LET'S NOT LOSE THIS MOMENTUM

WTHEN General March told the news
w paper correspondents in Washington
that $4,000 American troops were landed
in France in one day, and that the ships
were able to start back to this side of the
ocean within twenty-four hours, he indi-
Gated what could be done in the way Of
the economical use of shipping when men
set about the task.
1t has taken the impelling necessities Of
war to force the ships to make such speed
in unloading and taking on supplies for
the return voyage. Nothing like it has
ever happened in peace times. Ships have
wasted days in port because of the leisure
ly system Of discharging a cargo and
loading again. The railroad equipment of
the country has been strained beyond its
capacity every year in the crop-moving
season because no one has taken it upon
himyelf to keep the cars moving. We

AMBASSADOR DAVIS

TNHE appointment of John w. Davis,
u Solicitor General in the Department Of
Justice, to lie American ambassador near
the Court of St. James's, does not evoke
those emotions which such an appointment
in these critical times ought 10 cause
This does not mean that Mr.. Davis may
not be an excellent representative of the
United States in London. 1t merely means
that he is known in such a narrow circle
that his possible qualifications have to be
taken for granted.
He will succeed such distinguished
Americans as Whitelaw Reid, Joseph H.
Choate, John Hay, Thomas +. Bayard and
James Russell Lowell, to go no further
back than the eighties of the last century.
When each of these men was named the
country knew at once who he was and
what his particular qualifications were.
Each was also known in London and to
n considerable portion of the British public
Mr.. Davis has his reputation as a Iipo-
matist to make. He is said to be an able
lawyer, with experience in dealing with
large business interests. BY no stretch
of the term can he be called an ambassa-
dor from the American people to the
British people. Perhaps such a man is
not needed just now and his peculiar
qualifications may be those required to
deal with the issues that will arise be-
tween the two nations in the near future
The people must accept him on trust
until he proves himself.

hOOT THE SLACKERS OUT OF HOG
ISLAND

HHARGES that incompetent slackers and
~ army shirkers are imperiling the efil
cheney of Hog Island call for drastic
inquiry. II verified the management of
the feet corporation cannot afford to waste
an instant in dismissing the softsnap
specialists. whose sudden presence in the
yard at the moment when the expanded
draft law is operative proclaims them as
nots only disloyal, but as intolerably
dangerous.
The influence of such men on their
fellow workers can be poisonous and
subtle. Already the rate of progress in
the yard is said by General Manager Piez
to have been greatly reduced. Baseball
slackers or clergymen, poolroom loafers,
well-off cravens or common "bums"-these
danger rbreeding employees must go.
The progress of the greatest shipmaking
plant in the world has been handicapped
by obstacles for which some legitimate
explanation could be given. For such
conditions as are now alleged, conditions
under which workers are found totally
unfit for their vital duties, there can be no
palliation. Betrayal of a monumental
enterprise must cease.

ONLY LOG ROLLERS CAN OPPOSE
THIS

TNHE President has no power to veto any
n item in an appropriation bill, If he
disapproves of single appropriation or
any rider annexed to an appropriation bill
he must veto the whole measure.
An amendment to the Constitution
giving him power to veto individual items
has been submitted to the House of Repre-.
sentatives. No legitimate reason against
its adoption can be urged.
The possible unwillingness of Congress-
men to give up this method Of forcing
through Objectionable legislation may be
an excuse for rejecting the amendment
1t is not a reason which can be defended.
The Governors of Pennsylvania, New
York and some other States have this
power They exercise it with discretion
and profit to the taxpayers. There is no
danger that the President would abuse it..
