Navy and Merchant Marine.

Admiral Benson, nominated for
chairman of the shipping board, said
in an address delivered in Chicago
Monday night:
Our Navy must equal in size any
navy in the world, and from the stand
point of efficiency must be even bet
ter. ! favor a closer alliance between
this country's commercial interests and
the Navy, for in times Of peace it is
the function of the Navy to facilitate
foreign commerce.
President Wilson's recommendation
few years ago was for can incom-
parable Navy" 1t was made while he
was on a stumping tour, and before
we entered the war. But, at the time, the
war was taking such shape as seemed
likely to draw US in. Hence the at
tention the recommendation attracted.
The country applauded. Nothing the
President had hitherto said had met
with such wide and instantaneous ap-
proval. The people liked both the SEN
timent and the phrase.
But Congress did not act. No steps
were taken to strengthen the Navy on
@ineomparable" lines. As a result,
when the country was drawn into the
war, the Navy, while in excellent con-
dition for its size, and promising the
excellent results that were achieved,
was yet not the full instrument the
emergency demanded.
But the recomm endation was not for

discussed in the press and by the poll

body has been arrested \ consider
atle quantity of wine has been spilled
and the air is full of smoke arising
from the charges and insinuations and
rccrim nations that have been fired
back and forth for several days. The
upslOt of the whole matter is that the
federal authority is recognized, even
though nobody HIS been put in Jail for
initially failing to recognize it salts
factorily. The county prosecutor has
called the who'll, affair a "hoax." but
it was more than that. Perhaps it was
a blunder on his part, and perhaps
a bit of excesshe zeal on the part of
prohibition enforcement agents. At all
events. the people of Iron county have
learned that there is thing called a
prohibition law aud that the United
States government stands behind it.
and that the government at Washing
ton still lives. That is a good lesson
for any community to learn.

The Coming Campaign.

or not. the league Of nations will be
an issue in the coming campaign. Both
the bitter enIcrS ana the reservation
lists Will discuss It. Speeches that have
been made III the Senate chamber will
lie repeated in substance on the stump.
SO general ami 50 deep seated is the
interest felt in the subject that nearly
all the >tumpcrS on both s.dcs Will be
obliged to take note of it,
The subject viii! lend Itself excel
lcntiy To- >tuntping purposes. We have
seen il stir crowded Senate galleries as
few subjects have ever done. The
rules Of the chamber were repeatedly
violated by visitors and the admoni
tons Of the presiding officer went for
nothing When the speakers would
sivc i patriotic turn Ia their remarks
the effect was instantaneous and over
whelming.
There are no restraints on popular
audicnces-eertainly no rules against
applause Rather is il the other way
round. Applause is courtcd. Speakers
play for it. and are inspired by it.
They are depressed when it is not
forthcoming. Hence. when the stump
ers take up the league, either to score
it or commend it. they will have free
field. and will do their best.
But the league will not be the only
subject growing out of the war giving
warmth to the campaign. We shall
hear good deal about the melting
pot. and how and why it has failed to
remedy the defect; about the original
policies of the government. and its
later policies. and what its future pol
icies should be; about what America
means, not only to her own people. but
TO other peoples.
There is every promise. indeed, of
a campaign pitched in the key of
earlier days, when we were young. and
full of the pep of youth; when popu
lar orators appealed in terms of fer
vent patriotism; when the eagle
screamed; when the cry was America,
first. last, and all the time.
The trick has not been lost, but can
be turned again as easily and effective
ly as formerly. To it American stump
ing owes much of its reputation. The
men of the past who are best remem-
bered now were those who swayed audi
ences with descriptions of American
opportunities and obligations and paid
tributes to what was being accomplish
ed in the name of government founded
upon the consent of the governed.
1t is a great theme-the greatest we
know. What better could be done then
than, at this time, when stupid men
and scheming men are elamoring for
the overthrow of our institutions, to
make them the subject Of warm and
unstinted explanation and praise in
the style that once wrought so power
