more by force of public opinion than by
law that tho dumb friends of man will
receive tho kind treatment which is
their due. The parade also serves the
end of bringing home to the drivers
and to those in care of thcs" faithful
servants the fact that the public is in
tcrestcd in their care. and that such
care brings some little material return
and considerable public recognition.
Public opinion is. after all. the

the case where. as in the penalties for
cruelty to animals. the laws arc not en- :

0F THE Sims navy controversy the
" public will remember only two
things: That Admiral Benson said We
would as soon fight the British as the
Germans and that Admiral Sims said
we did not need n large navy as we
could always depend upon the British
to protect us.
Our navy is not like ''our sovereign
lord the king. who never said foolish
thing and never did Il wise one.
Our navy did n good many wise
things in the war and said as many
foolish ones.
And the foolishcst of all was Admiral
Sims's surrender to blood thicker than
water war emotionalism.
Sims was in the speech making Lon
don atmosphere until he got to DeneVe
the speeches that he made and that
were made to him.

Rut Mt the, very time when Sims was
saving the things Secretary Daniels
quotes him as saying, England was on
the edge of defeat.
Our eyes were opened, to the dangers
of the kind of colonialism whlch o'lns
was advocating.
If tbe war meant anything, 1t meant
our unavowcd but non" the less real
denopdeuce upon the mother country.
Sims didn't sec this
He was for avowing dependence and
glorying in it. .,..;.

moro intent on getting aud holding
office than on the application of princi-
plcs to government, Roosevelt ap.
pcarcd and the party once more became
the young mans party.
But in 1912 the Old Guard succeeded
in scrambling into the saddle and, for
the sake of retaining control of the
organization. forced the followers Of
Roosevelt into revolt The result in
November of that year proved the
SoundncsS of the contention Of ROose-
