States does not NEEDLE in their affairs. In Japan,
however, open talk Of war is heard and while
every true American hopes it will never come,
the lesson of the world war demands adequate
degree of preparedness. The fleet, however, is
far from fighting unit and very naval officer
who has had the courage to state the facts has
encountered the revenge of our poltician-secre-
tary.
'The navy at present is short about 10000
men. Recruiting is proceeding at a fair pace but
the newcomers are green, while many of the most
able officers in the service have resigned through
disgust over the Daniels administration or be-
cause of greater financial returns in civil life.
Instead of employing the force at his disposal,
however, to man fighting fleet composed of
our latest superdreadnoughts with the accom-
panying destroyer flotillas, submarines and
other auxiliary vessels, he has scattered the men
through the secondary vessels still in commits
sion, with the result that not single ship of any
kind musters it's full crew. But while it is a
glaring error to weaken the main fighting fleet
in order to keep some obsolete ships in commits
sion, it nevertheless seems good politics.
Gas Admiral Sims pointed out in his we'll
founded criticism of the Daniels administration,
the great majority of the navy personnel is eff
Gent and is doing the best it can under the OBJ
structive tactics pursued by the head of the de-
partment. The effective service rendered during
the war was performed in spite of and not due to
any constructive program of Mr. Daniels. With
the exception of small group of administration
favorites, every single navy man is probably
looking forward hopefully to the day when Re-
publican administration will bring to an end the
criminal indifference which has marked the last
seven years."

Figures Sho,u 7O.2 Per Cent
Increase in Miners Wages

10y Associated PreSS)
PITTSBURG, Oct. 19.-The average
daily wage of every person employed
in Allegheny county, one of the coun-
try's greatest industrial centers, in
creased 70.2 per cent in three years,
according to James F. Woodward,
State Secretary of Internal Affairs.
The per capita daily wage for 1919 was
$5.08, while that of 1916 was S2.S5, Mr..
Woodward said. He used the latter
year for comparison because it was
fairly normal whereas 1917 and
1918 were abnormal, owing to the war.
Although production valuation dur
ing the war years was greater than in
1919, Mr.. Woodward's figures showed
wages had increased steadily from
SAT- in 1918, to s5.08 in 1919.
Production value in 1919 amounted
to $1,000, 226,400, as compared with
$1,619, $4,000 in 1916, an increase of
$17.3 per cent. In 1917 and 1918 pro-
Election value reached well over the
$4,000, 100000 mark.
The per capita wealth Of the county
was $2,580, or twelve times the aver
age per capita wealth of the United
States.

Seven Years of,Danfels

Under this caption the Indianapolis Star calls
attention to the weaknesses of this cabinet Of
ficer. 1t says:
''The navy department has just announced
that the United States fleets will take long
cruises next summer, the tentative program call
ing for visits to Australia, New Zealand and the
South Sea islands by the Pacific squadron and to
South African ports by the Atlantic fleet. BY
that time, however, the program may be altered
considerably, and at all events the country will
be rid of Josephus Daniels, who, with his seven
years of political manhandling of our chief ma
tional protection, has crippled it's efficiency and
almost destroyed the morale of the service. In
the first place, he has violated the basic law of
the worlds naval strategy by dividing our fleet
into two parts instead of keeping one complete,
mobile force together ready for instant action in
any quarter.
: prior to the war our fleet should have been
kept in the Atlantic; now the one place where
our entire fighting force should be stationed is
in the Pacific. Germany has been deprived of
her warships and by no stretch of the imagina-
ton can trouble be expected with either Great
Britain or France; as least, as long as the United

Good Evening
BY Roy X. MouIton

We note a cable message to the ef-
feet that the inhabitants of the village
of Martigny, Switzerland. face the
necessity of drinking nothing but wine
and beer for some time to come, on &C
count Of the fact that the village
watcrworks was swept away by the
bursting of glacier pocket.
This item has caused considerable
speculation on our part. If perchance
the waterworks supplying New York
were swept away by the bursting of
glacier pocket, would the citizens be
reduced to drinking wood alcohol? 1t
is a lmatter which perhaps should be
taken up by the proper authorities.
Civic pride, of course, is wonderful
thing, but some towns have been CIVIC
prided'to death. They have had civic
pride to the exclusion of everything
else. There were no sidewalks worth
mentioning, houses were painted once
in fifty years, the drainage system was
so poor that water stood in the streets
for a week after rainstorm, strang-
err ways about as welcome as a case
of smallpox at Ellis Island, and the
telephones worked every other Thurs
day, but the folks got together two or
three times a week and whooped 'er
up for civic pride. 1t is perhaps a
good thing that these towns have civic
pride. however. A town must have
something.
A canvass at Chicago shows that the
people of that city prefer dancing to
the movies. Now that question is def
nitely settled, let us find out why Jim
Ham Lewis prefers pink whiskers.

BATTLE WITH AUTOMOBILE

HAM n. J., Oct. 19-AH
the big game hunters hereabout began
oiling up their rifles after hearing the
story told by James Meyers, taxicab
chauffeur, of this place. Meyers is au-
thority for the statement that the At
lantic City-New York highway not far
from here is a stamping ground for a
big black deer.
Meyers was driving into Hammonton
when he saw the proof of his state
ment. The deer bounded out into the
road in front of his cab, braced himself
for fight, but jumped out of the way
and disappeared in time to avoid
everything but glancing blow The
animal was uninjured, but the cab suf-
fered a few scratches.

IN THE THICK OF 1T.
BY George Matthew Adams


There is so little time. Take out
the necessary hours for food and sleep
and pIay-and there remains so short
a time in which to do the work OF
ones life.
How important to remain in the
thick Of what is to be done-until 1t
Is done!
Keep wedging into the centre of
things where you are most needed.
There are too many on the sidellnes.
Not everyone is trying to get into the
thick of things-so you see you have
a greater chance for distinguishing
yourself in service there.
Those who get into the thick OF
things get the best viewpoint: Their
Judgment rirens quicker and they
come into knowledge through under
standing at first hand.
And there is concentration where
folks work at the heart OF a task.
More is accomplished for more Is
risked and ventured.
But the greatest reason for being IL
the thick of everything is that the
largest amount of fun is there!
The football player dives for the
center of skirmish that he may
break up the play and give his mates
a chance to score.
You who work where there Is most
to do and where there are fewest to
do it, be glad. You are an accomplish
err of worth and power. You get the
greatest percentage out OF time ana
add years to the results OF your LABOR.
Get into the thick of life and work
and stay there!
