Commander Mayo-You might call
it propaganda in this way.
The Chairman-But you cannot
find in the Great Lakes Bulletin anv
speech delivered on the league of ma

Commander Mayo-Oh, I do not
think that politics has thing to do
with it--not thing.
The Chairman-But you cannot
find word in any of these papers
here that says anything on the other
Side about the league of nations?
Commander Mayo-Do you see tho

The Chairman - Yes; certainly.
Here it is in Secretary Bakers ad-

Commander Mayo-The onlv th;no
have to say is that these papers ara

station. N' Tie
The Chairman-And thew are ad-
vsantageous to any propaganda that
the navy or any other department
wants to put out?
Commander Mayo--I do not think
that is, tor moment, intended.
The Chairman-Do you not think
that speech is propaganda?
Commander Mayo do not think
1t was intended by Admiral Bassett
as propaganda.
The Chairmnn-But Admiral Bas-

Commander Mayo-I do not think
ne intended it as such.
The Chairman-Well, you must
certainly give him credit for being
sensible man.
Commander Mayo-I think, from
what have seen of the navy, that it
is about equally divided.
The Chairman-This was, then. for
the purpose of making it unequal,
because this is all one way We are
trying to get our printing, so far as
the government is concerned, into
such shape that there will be printed
only what is necessary for the
maintenance and betterment of the
government itself. We want to stop
all this propaganda. l would not

HIRAM JOHNSON ON THE STUMP.

Senator Hiram Johnson, O. Cali fornia, undoubtedly asnirant for the nomination of the Republican party for President of the United States in the 1920 election. is making remark 5 that are far less excusabla than those when he is descending to the abuse of the President using, 10 vindicate himself, the explanation that the President started the calling of names Personalities are rapidly becoming the major part of the argument on the covenant and are being used and forecasted in party fights to d greater extent than ever before. We doubt, very much, whether it is good taste to question the mental ability of the President when the League is being discussed, whether we agree with him or not.
 MT. Johnson started his speech, made in St. Louis yesterday, in a highly exemplary manner. He stated,
 
 the weapon of personalities against President Wilson as the latter had against the Senate. Then he followed his opening with this expressions:
 The personalities he employees demonstrates the weakness of his: cause and perhaps the weakness of his intellect also"
 Which, we believe, shows the Sen ator's ability to practice what he preaches-and incidentally puts the stamp of spite upon the argument which follows.
 The American people, deSrite their apathy toward an argument, that so far has developed little but personal feeling, no matter who started it, still await logical argument for or against the League of Nations. Their attention has been distracted from il. inasmuch as they expect little but bitterness, but it is safe to say that it may be recalled by anyone who wishes to Eliminate politics and per sonal ealousy and extend a parlia- mentary argument on the subject. If the Senate is to follow the President and each try to outdo the ot1er in maledictions each will fin that they are losing the faith of their follow ing, Senator Johnson may haNo good argument, but he has discounted if Ic. of ron seeks for information.

The Passing of the Straw Hat.

 Not until the fifteenth of Septe nber will the aprocryphal bell clang out the doom of the 1919 straw hat, but al- ready it is disappearing from sight withdra wing to dim closets. the top hooks of the hat tree or to the refuse barrel of the hat dealer, with whom we have left it in exchange for fall style of sterner stuff.
 It was less than four months ago that We first tried on our straw hat, then fresh and crisp, before the merchants triple mirror. It was a dainty, natty thing, typifying the joy our outdoor season, the good old sum- mer time. We were as careful of it as if it were a basket of eggs. We blew the dust-real or imaginary from any piece of furniture on which we deposied it. It sat so lightly, so jauntily, upon our head that some how 1t gave US a sence of cheerful ness and renewed youth. The putting on of an nutumnal hat yields us no such sentiments We submit, to the change regretfully, as matter of seasonal necessity, Oh, that 1t were always May and straw hats always the mode l

The back seat in an autom oble is no place for 8 man wearing a straw. The open trolley is invaded by brisk zephyrs that compel us to hang on to the hat or hold it aWkWardly in our lap. The cloth cap, the Alpine or Fedora type, even the derby, is preferable in this respect. But what ef it? If our prefernece for the straw is illogical, no matter When we put it away, we have a sigh.

General PcrsHing's Modcsty.
(NeW York IIera1d.)


 One thing above all others which impressed the people who joined 1n the welcome and tribute to General Pershing was his modesty on all oc- casions and under all circumstances The plaudits from multitudeS, the cheers from admiring throngs are >enough to make any ordinary in dividual swell with conscious pride and selfish emotion. General PerSh- ing, however, is made of better and sterner stuff. He has the poise and self-control, the rare gift of being great by showing himself modest and unassuming. True greatness is all ways modest and the hero of the A. II F., the guest of New York and the nation, possesses this attribute to a great degree.
 General Pershing's brief address at the banquet rendered him was a model of eloquence, of consideration of others, of generosity to the men under his command and of apprecia- ton of the real causes of the war and the patriotic efforts of the American troops to win. He took no credit to himself, according it all to his brave men. That modest address suita bly, marked the end of a perfect day and the end of a perfect occasion.

us and that happy day when we shall go to the hatters once more and say to him: ''What have you got in StraWS?"
 Alas for the present condition of the hat that was so bright and fine a short five months ago. It is yellow or worse. The dirt is ground into it. It's silk lining /is stained. It's gilt initials are dulled. It looks like the last rose of summer. And soon, if we are not careful, it will be bloom ing alone. For every day now sees a diminished number of it's lovely com panions on the public thoroughfare. Edict of no edict, bell or no bell the reign of the straw hat is swiftly ap- preaching it's end.

 Bob got his early experience at the old hall in East Berlin known as Athletic hall where he used to get the inhabitants there dizzy ringing the basket so often. The hall is still there but the baskets have been re- moved as the interest in the game died out when Bob went out into larger fields. He comes back to the town often to visit with his mother who still resides there. It was only a visit and he went down to the hall to try his skill at the place whers he spent his boyhood days, but the baskets have since been removed and the gym is now a dancing and con- cert hall. Bob Is yet unmarried and states that the only girl he ever cared about and ever will care about is his little white haired mother down there in the little town of East Ber- lin. He has sent for his mother to join him at Springfield as soon as she can sell the old hom estead, which Is a quaint little place in a quaint little town.

THE STRIKERS RESTAURANT.

Striking cooks and walters out in for the relief of their trade and also as a protest against high prices as they are said to exist in other eating places They are selling such a dinner, with high priced meat on the menu, as would satisfy any man at prices as low as forty cents per meal, The wOn- der is, how they do it. Instructions from these same cooks would be aD- preciated by thousands of small cafes and homes in the United States, pro- vding they are not actually selling at a loss.
 There are any number of house. keepers who will anxiously inquire of the strikers as to their methods of procedure in supplying an order of roast beef, with potatoes and bread and butter, for forty cents, and pork chops with trimmings, for thirty cents. Even in the homes, where the cost of labor in turning out a meal is not fig
 
 things at this price. Then we are told that the union expects to make a small profit on it's experiment. There is a catch somewhere, there must be.
 We imagine that the wages of the strikers are not being paid in the union restaurant, also that the buyers of the meats are serving for nothing. Otherwise it seems that the ultima te consumer would be forced to pay more for what the union is producing. If it can prove that union wages may be supplied to each man who Is working in, or for, the place and that profit is made on the meals, after the rent of the building and all overhead ex- pense has been added 1t has certainly done something for which mankind will give its hearty thanks Please tell us how you do 1t and let us see an expense, sheet if you do not mind, cooks and walters of Omaha.
