SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 4.-Divis-
ion of the United States navy and des-
patch to the coast of the Pacific fleet
marks the end of p long campaign that
has been waged by officials and citl-
zens of Pacific states for what they
termed adequate naval protection"
Active campaigning for big Paci-
fic naval force began with the close of
the Spanish American war. 1t was urg
ed that the Philippines ard other Pa
cific islands possessed by the United
States should he protected. Governors
congressional representatives and 9TH
er officials made strong representa-
tions in the month following that war
for increased naval strength on the
Pacific.
After the building of the Panama
canal many men in public life assert
cd that. in case of attack from the Pa
cific and destruction of the canal the
largest part of the country's naval
force would be kept away from the
Pacific for a long period during which
the Pacific states would be open to
invasion.

LONDON, Aug. 5,--Australian and

Of the Australian forces in the war,
because the Americans were never
placed in any position, nor called upon
to perform any duty, when, as the
General expressed it in a speech here
today they did not deliver the goods"
General MonaSh said he first reach
ed this conclusion in tie early dawn
of the Fourth of July, 1918, when for
the first time, Australian troops, fight
ing side bv side with the Americans
ed i'm the battle cf Hamel won ard
gave to the allied arms the first sue

"This battle was the turning point
of the war" said General Monash. at
was a brilliant and unqualified success
and its effect upon the morale, both
of the enemy and Of our own men, was

model of all subsequent achievement

Some Plain Facts for the
Dairyman
FRANK PELTRET

A business success is a busi-
ness which makes money. A CO.
operative business to be a success
must therefore make money.
The "Pure Milk Distributors"
the company promoted by Bank
er Henderson to retail milk in
Sacramento failed after a few
months of life with liabilities of
more than 100000. Banker Hen
derson said the failure was be-
cause they did not get a good
manager. 1t is very seldom that
a man or group of men in one
line of business can get good :
manager for a business outside
their line. During the Farmer AL
lance days, hundreds of stores
were started by Alliance men,
bers but because the men who
were hired to run them were
poor managers, they failed. Since
then. hundreds of would-bc trusts
have been organized by bankers
and lawyers but because under
hired managers, they could not
compete with smaller concerns
run by their owners, they failed,
1t is very hard to hire sue
cessful managers because sue
cessful managers perfer to have
their own business to working
for others. Then again, it is very
seldom that hired manager, be
he ever SO competent, takes the
same trouble to cut expense and
increase revenue that is taken by
the owner-manager Of a business
competing with him.
Banker Henderson owns dairy
farm which he says loses money
for him. A hired man runs it for
him. Most peaple who own farms
and hire men to run them lose
money on them. For this reason
most farms owned by men who
are not farmers arc run on shares
or on leases. There is no differ
cncc in this hired manager prob
lem between a factory and
farm, except that it is more diff
cult, if anything, for men in 9TH
er lines of business to hire a man
ager to make a success out of
factory than it is to hire far
mcr to make success out Of
farm, because a good factory man
anger docs not like to work for
men who do not understand his
business.
All cooperative organizations
of farmers which have made
large success in this country
have made use of established
agencies to market their product.
Financial loss has invariably re-
suited to cooperative organiza-
tions that have ignored the funda-
mental laws of successful bust
ness that have been herein out
lined.

BERGER GETS HIS

The action taken By the national house Of reprsssnta-
:tyes in excluding Victor Berger, from the seat to which
he had been elected, to the everlasting disgrace of the
citizens Of Milwaukee, was the only action which could
ae taken by men who respected themselves and thoir
ZION, stands convicted by his own vote of sympathy with
reason, and he has shown himself equally unfit for the
position which he occupies, though he will doubtless r.
ain his seat until the expiration Of hs term.
Berger is q convicted criminal He is under sen-
sence of Imprisonment for the most dastArdiy conduct Of
which a man is capable, that Of preaching disloyslty to
the United States government when the nation was at
vat. There is always the possibility that legal decisons
win be overturned. There may 30 discovered errors In
procedure which, though not affecting the merits OF the
nase. affect the regularity Of the trial, and nnany an
existence of any doubt Of their guilt but through the tn
ability of courts to street their Wv through the masses Of
court procedure without stubbtng their toea. =
It is quite possible that something Of the sort may
happen in the case Of Berger. He has been convicted
by a jury of twelve men chosen with perfect fairness, and
Convinced thoroughly, Of hts guilt under the statutes.
But there may. perhaps. be found flaws in the procedure
which will send the case back, and the case may uli-
mately wear itself out without the actual carrying out Of
the sentence which has been pronounced. All this, should
1t occur. will have no bearing ON the action Of the house.
members. and it does not need a court conviction to ex-
cinde them. There is no question AZ TO the facts In this
case. Berger performed acts OF dialoyalty publicly. and
has boasted of his attitude. He has been properly kicked
out, and the misfortune is that this was not done saraisr.
