feet score.
The pupils were divided into teams,
three IN each, and forty-four grade
schools were represented by team and
eight teams made perfect grades which

decide between the eight teams Edward
Bailey Birge, superintendent of music in

The result of the long hearings BY the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee served
to give me and the officers charged with
responsibility for the conduct Of the war
opportunity to place in permanent form
the real achievements of the Navy In
war and it's preparation in peace.
The result Of all the hearings, In that
so-called investigation, was to strengthen
the American people in their conviction
that great job had been done in a great
way, and If mistakes were made they
were errors common to human lack OF
perfection. For myself, looking bsck
upon the airing of differences and griev-
ances, l am thankful that the record
tells in detail the Nays story Of magnt-
ficent contribution. 1t supplied facts and

KEEPS STREAM FRESH
AND PURE.
Not one time in the eight years did
permit my sense Of the injustice of much
criticism to cause me to lose sight OF
the truth that, in a Government like
ours, criticism Is necessary to keep the
current fresh and pure. From the sincere
criticism and even from captious critics,
learned more than I can set down. 1
would in those days often ask myself the
question: "Was l right?" or "Is the
criticism just?" or Glow can a better
policy strengthen the Navy7"
For the first time, now that am back
on the Job of telling public officials how
much better an editor can run the gov
eminent than an official, I write to ex-
press my obligation to my honest critics.

Introduction of intoxicants on any ship
or shore station in the Navy except for
medical purposes, has demonstrated its
wisdom. Only one officer in the Navy
knew it was to be issued until it was
read in the papers, and that officer was
Admiral Braisted, surgeon general of the
Navy. He recommended 1t, and when
that fact became known he came in for
his share Of the abuse which followed
am sure he is entitled to his share of
the honor for its later almost universal
approval I do not take credit or blame,
whichever way you look at It, for the
fact that this order making the Navy dry
accelerated the coming Of national pro-
hibition, but it Is q satisfaction to me
that 1t did not deter It.

knew, Of course, I was taking a course
which would contravenus tradition. And
to not a few older officers tradition Is
sacred. More than that, I knew excellent
officers would resent it because they be-
lieved it would improperly convey an
impression that drinking was so general
in the Navy that such an order was nee
essary to insure sobriety ard efficiency,
OF course, drinking to excess was rare
and my only hesitation about Issuing the
order was the reflection that it might
convey such a misleading impression to
the public.
VICTORY OVER
ARMOR PLATE MAKERS.
But the greatest sin committed, GER
tainly the one responsible for the contin-
ued, organized and well-oiled criticisms
which never let up except during the
war, was my successful contest with. the
steel companies and powder concerns
which made armor plate. and protectiles
and smokeless powder and other muni-
lions for the Navy.
I found upon examination that all
three Of the armor, plate plants, by some
hypnotic method beyond my understand
ing, bid exactly the same price to a cent
when bids were asked for armor plate.
I found they had sold armor plate to
Russia for less than they charged to the
American Navy. l became convinced that
there later came into existence an under
standing that manufacturers Of armOI
at home or abroad would not compete
that our Navy was being charged q price
that had little relation to the cost OF
production and that competition was q
sham.
In smokless powder 1 found the Navy
could manufacture it for IS cents and
that the powder trust was charging the

mamie advocacy Of Senator Tillman, Con
gress had appropriated money and au-
thorized the erection Of an armor plGte

NOT ALL
CRITICISM Selfish.
1t is far from me to seek to convey the
impression that all criticism growing out
of the armor plate fight was inspired by
selfish interests. l would not bring such
an indictment against my profession.
There were editors so much opposed to
Government manufacture of anything,
even munitions Of war, that they fought
it upon principle. But that does not
alter the fact that "the intrests' at one
time, including some oil and coal profit

What was my duty? First to give Con
gress and the American people the facts.

gave the money early in my administra-
ton to enlarge the smokeless powder

which armor for our ships could be made,
But the last was obtained after the

during my eight years term. Certain

There was no such noisy demonstra-
! ton at Washington, but those armor
plate makers bought up space in all the
| newspapers and for weeks, in frenzied
appeals and criticisms of the. Secretary
of the Navy, sought to prevent the armor
plant appropriation. As a matter of
fact, without my knowledge, because
while in Washington I did not manage

 Since 1890 millions of dollars have been spent in bounties", he declares, "and there never has been case where the bounty did any permanent good"
 The old bounty men, he charges, were in the game more for the money and the living they could get out of it, than for the purpose of ridding the country of wild ami mals. It was found. he adds, that the bounty men after hunting a season, purposely would leave one or two pairs of wolves, to raise more wolves, for more bounties.
 In the beginning of the Govern ment's drive with paid hunters, Dr. Fisher further charges, some of the old bounty men proved unfit Some of them would write up here saying if they could only have the fin of a shark, or the tip of a kangaroo's tail, they could surely lure game into their traps. That was all pure superstition.
 Although the wolf has attacked many persons, and hunted man in packs in the steppes of Russia, and other parts of the old world, there IS no single case on record, Dr. Fisher asserts where a wolf has at- tackled a human being in North America. :::... .

THE CHEcK-oFF SYSTEM

The United Mine Workers of America is just rounding out the thirty-frst year of it's existence. Its leaders, says a correspondent of The Associated Press, writing from Indianapolis. believe this will be a memorable year in the history of the organization. This union, one of the strongest of the labor organ izations in the United States, is now confronted with the possibility of q nationwide strike in protest against the decision of |. S District Judge A. B. Anderson to enjoin coal operators from continuing the check off system by which the companies deduct miners union dues from their wages, turning the money over to local union officials.
 The union will complete its 32nd year on January 20. 1922. It came into existence January 20, 1890 at a meeting held in Columbus, O., two rival organizations deciding at that time to unite under the name which Is still in use.
 The history of the union move ment among the miners of the U. s. starts with a local union organ ized in the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania in 1s4s. The union of the miners into the present or ganizstion only came about after the numerous difficulties that mark the evolution of the labor move nent. Strikes, internal wars and opposition from mine operators are all written in the history of the miners. ....... :... *
 Any efforts that the union may make as a national body in the present situation will be directed from the headquarters at Indianap- olis. John L. Lewis, president, with members of the international ex- ecutive board, and William Green, secretary-treasurer, will be in charge of the administration of strike act ivities, if this course is decided up on.
 The membership of the union at the present time is approximately half million, this number includ- ing miners of ne anthracite fields Rho probably would rot be affected by strike inasmuch as the check of system, the point at issue in the present controversy. is applied only in the bituminous fields.
