RUBBER STAMPS AND sTAMPERS

Secretary Daniels says Admiral Sims repre-
sents group of navy officers who would like to
to see the civilian secretary rubber stamp
under control of naval staff Perhaps this IS
an unfortunate way of putting it; Mr.. Daniels
has been rather unhappy in his way of putting
things There is no cordial feeling by this peo-
pie just now for founding naval and military
bureaucratic control; the sentiment of the peo-
pie runs to holding in civilian hands final con-
troll of its war establishments. But for an Of
ificer Of this cabinet to protest against threat
to make him rubber stamp is sure to sug-
'gest the notion that this condition has existed
for some seven years in the cabinet. The only
difference would be in the agent that did the
stamping On the whole we seem to be losing
the independent cabinet official altogether
With a president who wants and gets rubber
stamps and a bureaucracy that Is trying to
achieve the same end what chance has an in
dependent man in the cabinet?

THE ROOSEVELT 2-cENT PIECE.

Minneapolis Journal: The senate
has authorized a Roosevelt 2-cent
piece and a 50-cent piece to COM
memorate the three hundredth ami
versary of the Pilgrims landing.
The versatility of Roosevelt was
well illustrated by his patient efforts
for an artistic coinage. Why, he
asked, cannot America have as artis-
tic coins as ancient Greece? And in
the midst of pressing problems of
civil service reform, Panama canal
construction and the Russo-Japanese
peace, Roosevelt found time to col
laborate with st. Gaudens to make
our coins more than mere counters.
By their efforts artist and states
man succeeded in circumventing the
conservatism Of the minters, and in
attaining greater simplicity and ar
tistry in our coin designs, as well as
higher reliefs and raised rims to
facilitate stacking.
The study of coins is form of
historic research that has proved
very rewarding. 1t is Interesting to
note the various designs, such as
liberty heads, eagles and human re-
liefs, that have found place on our
coins. 1t may we'll happen with ours.
as it has with older societies, that
after it has passed from the stage
and our homes and churches have
crunbled, our coins will remain as
witnesses to our artistry, or lack
of it.
At any rate, it is an added grace
for each coin to be thing of beauty.
Coins bearing eagles heads and
wings have way of fitting away all
too easily. Perhaps if they bear, the
reIiefs OF our statesmen and heroes
they will remain longer in our peck
cts 1t Is worth a trial at least. And
it is entirely appropriate that the
new 2-cent piece should bear Roose.

FRIENDS.
Now We are those who loved him first,
The trees he used to know
The willows with their slender leaves,
The poplar trees who go
Like stately watchmen UP the hills,
The eIms against the sky,
VINO bear the new in their arms
And watch the clouds roll by.
The timid birches knew him too,
The NAPLES always showed
The shining side of all their leaves
When he came up the road.
The skirted spruces mothered him
And though the young trees dance
They, too await the waiting winds
Who blow the news from France.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Sac City Bulletin: The general eff.
| feet Of H. M. Havner's talk here
should be to add support to DEEMS
candidacy. Deems has taken the
same general stand on the industrial
question and he is not handicapped
by personal enmities as is Havner.
There are several thousand Iowa vot-
ers who would not favor Havner were
he running for dog catcher. Deems
not only represents a sane, vigorous
viewpoint which those who follow
Havner can agree with, but he will
unite the state much more effectively.
Knoxville Express: Probably no
one is enjoying the present state of
political uncertainty any more keenly
than your old friend, w. J. Bryan.
Waterloo Times Tribune: While

must soon reach the necessities. A,
falling market never quits until it's ac-

sumner has come to his senses.
Des Moines Register: Before Mr..
Bryan is admitted to the San Fran
cisco convention, it might be wise to
search him for a monkey wrench.
Cherokee Democrat: Why all this
