Presidents Message to Navy.
From the New York Times.

No officers of a navy embarked for
war ever listened to more inspiring
words Som their toInnlanderincnief
than those which President Wilson ad-
dressed to the officers of our fleet on
board the flagship Pennsylvania on
August Ii, 1917, the address now made
public by Secretary Daniels In his tes-
timony. We may safely say that no
commanderinchief ever before talked to
the officers of a navy in that way. It
must nave put heart into them; 1t must
have filed every officers bosom with
the desire to do his utmost. The Ger
man submarine nest must be broken up,
said the president Throw prudence to
the winds-'1eave out Of your vocab-
ulary altogether the word prudent"
That is the great spirit Of Admiral Far
ragut at Mobile Bay. Damn the tor
pedoes! Captain Drayton, go ahead;
Jouett, full speed" 1t was the spirit Of
valor that sustained Inc urged on our
men at Chateau-Thierry and in the Ar
gonne Forest.

less naval poHcy.l We knew where the
nest was; the thitg to do was to get at
it and break it fup. 81 am willing to
sacrifice half the navy" said the presi-
dent. Great Britain and we together
have to crust. hat nest because IL we
crush it the war is won" That vas
prophecy made true by the event, for
when Germany came to the end of her
resources for submarine warfare she
knew she was beaten. Blind following
of naval tradition YOU not get at the
nest. The demand was for something
unusual" something "~audacious to the
point of utmost risk and daring" THAI
the enemy could not understand. There
is no other way to win, and the whole
principle of this war is the kind of thing
that ought to hearten and stimulate
America"
Nothing could lave been more stimu-
lating than the presidents declaration
that he wanted the officers of this navy
to nave the distinction OF saying how
his war was to be won;" he would put
himself at the disposal of any officer of
TIE navy, young or old. who thinks he
knows how to run this war" There is
no sounder principle. War is an i'm
mensely technical business and our
civilian commandments necessarily
could not understand its in~tricacies. 1t
was for him to sem the, land and sea
forces into the war; It was for him to
call upon and the nation for
the means to carry on the war. But
every officer on the deck of the Pennsyl-
wanna must have felt that for him the
presidents words opened the way to dis
tinction and glory. There was enough
Of the v~ernacular and colloquial in the
address to convince the men of the navy
that the president was not uttering plat
itudes or conventionalisms. He meant
business. the sternest business. It was
O to them to do their duty to
the utmost with no thought OF anything
but tie one sublime end of winning the
war.

chief causes of the high cost OF living Is
taxation. Taxation in this country
used to be a thing that concerned only
men of property; at least My men OF
property paid any particular attentionsto
federal taxation. It's true that federal
taxation all along has affected the en-
tire people. but it did not affect them
acutely enough to lead them to give it
serious thought. Now all that has been
changed. All the people, from capital
lists to wage earners, from employers to
salaried men, know that federal taxation
is their own intimate concern. The sal
aried man or the wage Garner may not
pay a penny in direct taxes to the fed
eral government, but they nave both
been educated sufficiently on the sub
ject to know that taxes of all kinds inn
posed by the federal government have
a direct bearing on the price they must
both pay for the accessories of life. II
the governments xpenses are not re-
duced, the salaried man knows he must
continue to stint himself in many ways;
II the huge contemplated bonus is I'M
posed, the laborer a heard enough to
know that a part Of the cost will inev-
itably be borne by him.. And these are
only two of scores.
There was q time when, except to big
business and politicians, the federal
government seemed q very far-off, al

themselves were not intimately con-
cerned. That time Is past. It's no
peoples government, and the people re-
alike 1t now. What It does, what tho
president does or what congress does, Is
Jul business; It affects our homes and
our daily lives; 1t has to do with what
we shall eat and what we shall wear
and how we shall 1--we.
It's a sore time that we are passing
through, but it isn't q wholly q time
because it has aroused US to h fact
that this great federal government Il
not a mere huge, vague mass Of ruling
machinery with which we have nothing
to do, but It is an fundamentally ope-
rated by men, and that it is the right
and duty Of the little man, the man In
his little house, the man in the street,
to do his best to see to It that the right
men are chosen to operate It.

Spiklne Senate Guns.

From the New York World.
Upon his strong and prompt denial Of

drawal Of his KANT from consideration

WAGE DECISION

Too High, Says Whittier.

Chicago, May 1870 smoothly did
the railroad wage hearing, now before
the railroad labor board proceed to-
day that predictions were made that
q decision will be possible within
three weeks.
Despite the fact that the railroad
transportation of the entire country
threatens to become tied up unless
the wage demands are met, represen-
tatives of the railroads and those of
the unions discussed the situation
without going into heated arguments.

was the only one to use in order that
an agreement might be reached
Conductors Ask ss.77.
p. l.. Whittier. representing the CO..
r1ers, submitted a complete digest of
the trainmen's demands from the rail-
roads angle, showing that conductors,
ticket collectors, baggagemen and
prakemen are asking increases In
which, If granted, will give them 100
per cent. increases over 1913.
The maximum demands of the con-
ductors call for sS.77 a day, and the
trainmen SCI. a day. Where pay
ment is guaranteed Under a monthly
wage, the maximum for baggagemen,
under present demands would amount
to S21s.04 monthly, based on a 26-day
month.
Whittier made no comment on the
wage demands, except to protest
against the clause in the trainmen's
demand which stipulates for time and
a half for Sunday and recognized hol-
iday work.
1T is impossible for us to arrange
schedules which will not make neces-
sary Sunday and holiday work." he
said. "The nature Of our business ne
cessitates this and the railroads
should not be forced to pay extra
wages on these days.
Whittier protested against the "puni-
tive" stipulations in the demands,
where train crews stalled in terminals
or away from hcme are to receive
overtime wages.
