A GOD FROM 'LYMPUS.

A Senate subcommittee, composed
of three Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis, has made a report Of 4225 pages
on the Sims Daniels report. 1t is
interesting to note that the three Re-
publicans declare unanimously that
Sims was right in everything. and
Daniels always wrong: otherwise the
report contains little of general in
tereG to the average reader.
IL there is any lesson which can be
drawn from this report, ii is that party
men will stoop to any depths to gain
their infinitesimal point. Admiral
Sims was right in some of the charges
which he made against Secretary Dam
iels- But Mr.. Daniels certainly did
not cause the loss of 500,0 600 lives. as
Sims charged he did by not rushing
sufficient destroyers to the war zone
in early 1917.
Mr.. Daniels was not perfect in all
things; being human. he made few
mistakes. Admiral Sims, not being a
man, but being dweller on 'Iympus.
veritable god TO be worshipped by
all devout Republicans, never made a
mistake in his life. and never could
commit error. This is the general
tenor of the Republicans report.
We are very glad that supernian.
god. has been found on this earth.
But it is rather a coincidence. we take
it. that he is found in the ranks Of
the Republican party. Thank God
that Daniels was only human being.
Such man is much easier to live With
than those political gods who never
do wrong.

ALIEN AND CITIZENSHIP.

movement has been started
throughout the country to proceed
against aliens who neglect to become
citizens. We too, We must confess,
are of the opinion that the time is
ripe for some action. We are fully
aware that large number of immi-
grants from Germans speaking coun-
tries have neglected their duties in
this respect and are still neglecting
them. That is especially true as re-
CARDS Wisconsin. Since Wisconsin
became a State, and up to a compare
lively short time ago. every immigrant
who had his FIRST papers" l. e., who
had declared his intention to become a
citizen, was entitled to vote and
qualified to fill an official position.
Those provisions of the law were en-
tirely in order at a time when the in
habitants of whole villages and cities.
even counties. consisted of immigrants
who had been lured by the promises
of citizenship rights after one years
residence 50 that they might clear
the land and transform the wide
prairie into fertile fields.
Ii WAS quite comprehensive that
under changed conditions such laws
should later on be altered. Many
people who took out their "first
papers" for many years neglected to
become citizens, because within the
State they enjoyed all the rights of
citizens. When they suddenly lost
their right to vote. after having exer-
cised 1t for long time, and after hav-
ing filled public offices in many cases
they We're ashamed To ask for their
second papers and thus make il
known that they were not citizens.
That sense of shame is entirely
wrong and should be discarded by all
who want to continue to earn their

make their homes in the United States
All should understand that they owe

CHILD LABOR IN SUMNER.

large crops from the soil. At the
present time there has grown 70 be a

ards of work on the farm or in the
cotton and beet fields. and more than
manufacturers can establish their
right 10 employ similar children in
their mills or factories. There is no
excuse for putting a child at man's
work.
The provisions for children in the
United States are essentially made
quate. The average attendance Of
children at school in the United States
is only 90 days a year. This is a
partial explanation. at least, If the
fact that approximately 25 per cent of
the men examined in the first draft
were illiterate and of the iIliterates in
the United States 2s' per cent are
native whites. Approximately IS per
cent Of our 22,o00,oo0 school children
are physically defective. Under these
circumstances there should be mobil-
lied the strongest public opinion
against every industrial procedure
which DERIVES childhood OF it's edu-
cationai advantages, interferes with
the correction of physical handicaps,
or tends to the physical deterioration
of growing population by reason of the
inherent hazards of industry .-J ourrlal

THE NAVY IN 1917.

For a strictly partisan report the
findings of the Senate Naval Com
mittee's inquiry into the controversy
between Secretary Daniels and Ad-
miral Sims are not startlingly unfair.
No attempt is made to conceal the fact
that the lash is aimed over Mr..
Daniels shoulders at Woodrow Will
son. The charges relate essentially
not to a breakdown of administration
but to a breakdown of imagination.
The burden of the indictment lies
in two sentences: Inevitably the
facts force the conclusion that the
principal cause of their delay was the
self-defensive. aggressive, and
non helpful policy imposed or the
navy by the administration through
Secretary Daniels. The predominant
purpose of the administration seems
to have been to look to the future
Of the United States apart ~from the
Allies in cast the latter might be de-
seated or in case a peace without
victory might be made"
Whether this was or was not the
sentiment at the White House. one
fact should be kept in mind. The
year 1917 was one of troubled purposes
and perhaps defective imagination
among all the Allies. It was the
YEAR of repeated peace feelers. In
the summer of 1917 Lloyd George him
self was strongly impelled towards a
peace of compromise. If that mistake
was committed at Washington II arose
largely out of the facts of the moment.

of such anticipations WI have tbs
