the difficulty of being heard accurately

Some one In the audience called ONT
TO Mr. La Guarda, after he had stated
that he was absolutely with the teach

and that he was willing to fight the
enemies of the bill: "How can we

questioner being clearly to find q
method of getting quick and favorable
action from the above named Senator.

OF this you changed tho entire sense
of the question by the addition of the

Josephus and the War College

In view of the sort Of manage
ment the navy is shown to have
suffered, it may come as a surprise
to many to learn that the Naval
War College, at Newport, whose
highly trained graduates Josephus
passed by, is not only one of the
best institutions of the kind in the
world, but that it is actually the
oldest Of such institutions.
Founded at the instance of
Admiral Luce, the college went for
ward under Admiral Mahan, whose
writings marked an epoch in the
world wide appreciation of sea
power. So the institution at Newport
came to influence profoundly the
naval organizations of Britain,
France, Germany and Japan. The
central idea of the two years course
at Newport has been to prepare
those of our naval officers who will
come to fill the higher positions II.
the theory and practice of naval
warfare-in how to use the navy.
But the civilian Secretary of the
Navy is the single responsible head
of the entire navy. Under him is
the General Board, composed of
naval officers Of high rank, but its
functions are advisory. Formerly
there were many bureaus, the chiefs
reporting directly to the civilian
Secretary, but in 1916, upon the in
1tlative of Admiral Fiske, Congress
created the position of Chief of
Naval Operations. This position
was to be held by a naval officer
to whom the chiefs of bureaus would
report and who would be the chief
officer of the navy. 1t was intended
it's incumbent should possess the
highest professional qualifications.
But, to the general amazement,
Secretary Daniels picked a captain
and put him over the heads of all
the rear admirals as the chief Of
flcer Of the navy. His selection had
never commanded more than one
battleship at time, had special
lzed as the commanding officer of
a navy yard and had so little in
terest in how to use the navy that
ne had never even taken the War
College course.
Why the Secretary chose the
captain Of a navy yard for the chief
officer Of the navy seems unexplain-
able except on the theory that he
feared to put in the position of
Chief OF Naval Operations man
at once strong and able. Congress-
having created the position, Daniels
had to appoint some one to it. He
mad choice between appointing
the ablest man he could pick or some
one 'moge likely to subordinate him
sell to the Secretary's fads. Jo-
sephus, of course, preferred the lat
ter. Why the navy's management
was as bad as it's strategv was
puerile during the early months Of
the war is thus no mystery.

How Henry Did 1t

The Tribune has been reproached
tor having a warm place in it's heart
for the senior member of the firm of
Henry and Me"-otherwise Henry
J. Allen-whom fate has vainly en-
deavored to conceal by making him
Governor Of Kansas.
That there is basis for the accusa-
ton Of liking for this stalwart
young son of the West these COL
umns will not attempt to palliate or
deny, and we venture to tell our
readers some of the reasons why. In
the main it is because Henry is I,
doer. Not that the Governor is a
poor talker Che is second best on few
rostrums), but there is something
that leads him to be dissatisfied at
times with mere exercise of his
larynx.
When the coal strike came to Kan
sas it was 100 per cent efficient.
Every one was out of coal EXCEPT the
miners and the operators, who knew
what was coming. Henry consulted
the Supreme Court and inquired if
there was not some way he could
take over the idle mines and get fuel
from them. Upon what allega-
tions?" asked the judges. ooh, upon
any allegations that will work."
Henry replied; Elk 'em up to suit
yourselves. Any charge you make
against these operators / think can
sustain"
A way was found to make the Gov
ernor receiver for the mines, and he
called for volunteers to work them.
Within twenty-four hours II, 900 Of

htted were sent to the coal fields.

we had not sent it we would have

Of all American novels received IN
the last six months zona Gales "Miss
Lulu Bett,' published by Appleton,
seems at the top of the list. knowing
MISS Gale as the author of books
called by such titles as "Friendship
village and Friendship Village
Love Stories," we approached "Miss
Lulu bett" with dire forebodings. it
proved, however, to be shrewd. mov-
ing and often tart picture of small
town life. 1t suggests May Sinclair's
mary Olivier" in it's refusal to take all
family relationships nt their tradi-
tlonal face value. Miss Gale is among
the newer noveists in her eagerness to
Tree Little Eva from the slavery of
parental tyranny. She shows that
within our democracy there may exist
caste system in the home Just as
brutal and sitting in it's small scale
as the rule of any czar or kaiser.
Although Zona Gale holds to the
'oea that the summit of any spinster's
ambition is to win the name of soma
good man, she is by no means willing
to testify that any one will do. She
shows that for all our talk of the
starved lives of the unmarried there
may be an equally narrow and monot-
onous existence within marriage. The
mere fact of marriage and children is
not enough. Its inspiration is not so
universal as some sentimentallv-
minded persons would have US be-
Iieve. There was, for instance. Mrs
Deacon who is pictured in one illum-
mating scene in "best black and ruch-
ing" when she Seized upon Monona
and patted her, as her own form of
social expression; and Monona wric-
gled like puppy, as hers"
Then there was Mr.. Dwight Deacon

tenet this dictum was based but he
delivered it with extreme authority
Mr.. Deacon was like that. The reade,
cannot fail to recognize him from the
very first chapter in which Zona Gale
writes:
Baked potatoes" said Mr.. Deacon
That's good-that's good The baked
potato contains more nourishmen,
than potatoes prepared in any other
way. The nourishment is next to the
skin. Roasting retains it,
"That's what always think" said
his wife pleasantly.
"For fifteen years they had agreed
about this"
AS the author observes: "In the
conversations of Dwight and Ina you
saw the historical home forming in
clots in the fluid wash of the COM
munity."
In it's bare outlines Miss Lulu
bettN is nothing more novel than the
story CT Cinderella retold, but there
is In 1T such wealth of well-drawn
character and shrewdly- y-reported talk
and withal certain heart-warmire
confidence in the possibility Of the
conquest Of routine by a bold spirit
that "Miss Lulu Bett" deserves a
place among the most distinguished
examples of our native fiction. Here
is novel based upon what eyes have
seen and ears have heard and not
upon formula. Zona Gale is some
thing Of bold spirit herself.
