Minority Tyranny

Secretary Hoover is right in say
ing that the public will not tolerate
strikes "in which 2 per cent of the
popu alton may jeopardize the COM
fort and security of the other SO per
cent" He was thinking of railroad
and coal miners strikes, involv-
ing large bodies of men in many
states. Their proportion to the rest
Of the community may rise as high
as 2 per cent. But what can be said
Of the milk hold-up here, in which
1000 workers are trying to prevent
the delivery of necessary of life to
population of about 100000?
The drivers are not 2 per cent
minority. They are a .0013 per cent
minority.
This tiny fraction of the popuia-
ton of the metropolitan area went
On strike because the milk companies
refused to increase their wages SIS a
week. They are employing violence
to prevent delivery of milk by other
drivers. They put their own welfare
above the welfare of the rest of us
and want to coerce us all into paying
more for milk on penalty Of having
to 60 without it.
Here is where the oid-fashioned
strike theory breaks down. In the
early days of unions the notion pre-
vailed that a strike was an affair
exclusively between the employers
and the workmen. The public was
conceived of as an unconcerned by
stander, likely to be more or less in
sympathy with the strikers. The
latter were to get their increased
wages cut by the operators, and not
out of the public.
But this pleasing fiction has long
Since beer exploded. The public now
sees that it must suffer the priva-
ions Of a strike and also pay its
cost. Excess labor charges in any
neld is toll on the rest Of the COM
munity. The public has therefore a
Urinary interest in preventing and
Guing strikes which interfere with
uavel, or freight shipments or local
iood distribution. Those who cause
Me interference are making war on
sne orderly processes of life and
BUSINESS and must have case which
appeals to every conscience ii they
czpeet to enjoy any popular surnort.
Tiny nlinorities cannot be allowed

The Growing Drug Evil

Commissioner Copeland of the
Health Department., admitting the
ominous increase in the illicit drug
traffic, pleads the baby act. The
Commissioner tells the public,
through the Hearst prints, that the
"trafic is beyond CONTROL The only
hope is in higher powers-to wit, the
Congress of the United States and
the Parliament of Canada. "By a
very simple procedure" they could
lend the whole devilish traffic"
How? "By simple enactment Of
law" prohibiting the export of opium
and all its derivatives. Eureka !!
Let the sky fail; then we shall all
catch larks! We have law against
the very smuggling which DR.: Cope
land deplores, but it does not end the
smuggling. There is no reason for
his cocksure confidence that another
law prohibiting export would be
more efficient than the existing law
prohibiting import. 1t is easier to
smuggle stuff out of than into q
country.
This appeal to the baby act by the
New York Health Department is
another admission of the inesficiency,
the impotence, the demoralized
breaking down of the Hylanized ad-
ministration-the IS @ S" cry for
national and international action in
what is essentially matter of local
police jurisdiction. The Police De-
partment does not seriously try to
stop the drug traffic. =

THE Salvation Army lass
Lay very still all day.
Her body seemed to depend from hsS
eyes
Eyes eager-blue as marbles
That have rolled in many cutters,
Yet stayed miraculously clean.
Now her hands monotonously
Scoop up the shallow moonlight,
Pale as weak lemonade,
That spills through her fingers
Over the white sheet.
The moon is of little account here,
With that strong light in the corridoA
Now over the battery
Ali the bay TO herself
And Sunday boats coming in
The moon'll be bright as Jesus

this cannot be. Il is strictly con-
fidential. We can only surmise from
our personal acquaintance with the in
dividuals and from our knowledge of
their attitude and expressed opinions
during the past three years. Review
ing ali this, and remembering the testi-
mony given by them before the naval
committees of Congress on our naval
program, there is ample reason for
fear that the departmental experts may
have been too unmindful of the lessons
OF the World War and of the obvious
lessons and warnings TO be derived
from the recent bombing tests.
We can only hope that the Navy
Department and its experts have even
tardily and reluctantly seen the light
of 1921, beyond the fog of 1916, in
naval science. If they have, our dele
gates may receive the information and
advice upon which to lead the confer
ence in the adoption of measures that
will give to each nation complete
freedom in protecting itself and is
interests upon the sea, while at the
same time reducing the burden of tax
alton in cutting out the most expen-
sive and the least useful forces in a
modern fighting feet. In fearing the
worst let us hope for the bestl
To Limit armament
Let US come to the meat OF e.
matter. There are three main points
to guide Us in limiting armament and
in reducing war appropriations:
I. A correct estimate of the work
Of the submarine in the World War
and of its potential power in the
future.
2. A correct estimate of air power
in its future relation to sea power.
3. Correct deductions from tie
World War as to the forces that will
command the sea" hereafter.
Space forbds a repetition of the
arguments and demonstrated possi-
bilities regarding submarines and air
forces in future war. The lay reader
must have noted the overwhelming
testimony as to these factors both in
the Word War and in the recent ex-
periments in bombing the German
ships and the Alabama.
In approaching the third subject
the command Of the sea" in future
war-it is important to emphasize the
current dangerous and absolutely
false deductions as to the command OF
the sea in the World War.
False Deductions
1t is asserted almost daily in the
press and by individuals that the
Grand Fleet of Great Britain command
ed the sea! Strictly and broadly
speaking, it did not command the sea!
Admiral Sims demonstrated this fact
in his book. The Grand Fleet COM
nanded the surface of the North Sea:
that is the only part of the sea it COM
manded. And we must remember that
while 1t commanded this small part of
the sea, blockading the German feet.
the German submarine nearly won the
war By starving England, and that, too,
despits the combined navies of the civ
ilized word! Commanding the sea.
then, as far as battleships are con-
cerned, may avail nothing in war. It

Battleship in Modern War
There May Be Limitation of Armament if Conference
Realizes Restrictions of Dreadnoughts in War Overseas
By Quarterback

There is little likelihood OF limi-
tatlon Of armament and Of reduction
in naval appropriations unless the
Washington conference is correctly
informed as to the practical helpless
ness Of the unsupported $4,000, 900
dreadnought in war overseas.
During the past year this subject
has been repeatedly discussed in these
columns. It has been emphasized
again and again with quotations from
the highest authorities at home and
abroad that no nation could send its
army or its battle feet over seas un-
less it commands the air and the SUBJ
surface of the sea. In RECOGNITION
of this fundamental fact it has been
earnestly recommended in the inter
est of economy and national defense
that we complete the battleships of
the 1916 program that are far ad-
vanced in construction and that work
be temporarily suspended upon all
others. 1t has been stressed that we
have neither modern submarines nor
air forces-that our navy is out of
date, that it cannot cross the sea-
that it is "helpless one-plane feet
in three-plane naval era'
It is only during the last two months
that the Navy Department has exhib-
tied intelligent appreciation of the ne
cessity for long range submarines and
ample air forces. 1t has been fairly
bombed into state of semi-conscious-
ness as to what constitutes modern
navy. But it still persists that the
battleship is the backbone" of the
fleet and that we should continue with
all speed to build dreadnoughts. In
short, the Navy Department has led
the world in race for the most crush
ingly expensive and seemingly the
least useful element of naval power.
Naval Experts
1t is only natural that the Secretary
Of the Navy, the Administration, the
press, Congress and finally the people
at large should reply upon the judg-
ment of the officers and boards on
active duty at the Navy Department for
the facts, the theories and the opin-
ions upon which to base our naval
policy. But it is nevertheless to be
noted that there are officers of wide
experience in our navy, active and re-
tired--of wider experience than those
at the department-who differ most de-
cidedly in opinion from those who have
guided the unfortunate policies of the
Navy Department during the last three
years. But these officers have been
silenced or ignored despite the fact
that recent events and q close study
of modern naval weapons and naval
strategy appear to completely sustain
their contentious in opposition to the
defiant conservatism Of bureaus and
department boards.
Advising Our Delegates
1t has been announced that the ex-
perts at the Navy Department have
been called into conference by the
American delegation, presumably to
outline policy on limitation of arma-
ment.

Chinese Poems of ]. Wing

Yooh cnAdishness ls gold hill,
There is sheer fall from IL
Into the cloudy, monotonous sea.
You dance high in small blue vesturs.
With white arms catching at the sky
And feet hardly touching the gold earth.
You dance swift and sweet and warm
To the edge and back again.
l have painted abominable devils
For your great delight,
Yellow apes with alligators' heads
And scarlet spots; blue mouths.
But now that you demand
A picture of ourselves playing togethsA
What shall put down?
A band of cherry-colored fire
Across black paper2
A purple fiag-dower, looked down
Into the water of your soul,
silver trickle in the hills.
You wooed down to you and caught
One of my leaves.
am spiintered mash
Of green and water and mauve
Eaten by the black teeth of the rvckA
My mind was an ivory box
Before you came;
Carved with sayings,
Holding scentless pellet
Of green burning gum
But now
Half the earth is filed
With the sweet, eternal smell Of pain.
And the box is empty.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and iustre.
or when it fades. turns gray, dull and
lifeless is caused by lack OF sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
tuTe improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications it also brings
back the gloss and Iustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful APP
pearance to the hair. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-
vention OF disease.

ASK DEMPSEY TO
FIGHT JOHNSON
Ne gro Elk Champion
Comes Back Under
Simple Prison Lite

And now championship fight be
tween Jack Dempsey and the former
dusky champion, Jack Johnson, IS
proposed Johnson will complete his
sentence at Leavenworth federal
prison Saturday of this week. Capt.
j.. M. McCaw, wealthy Los Angles
clubman, formerly of the British air
service, has wired Dempsey's man
ager, Jack kearnS, a guarantee of
100000 for Dempsey's end of La
Dor Day bout with Johnson, the fight
erS to get half and the Los Angeles
post of disabled veterans half.
Kearns is reported to have replied
that match could be arranged if
wanted, but that he did not believe
there was a demand for the bouC.
Which may or may not be true.
Despite the dlsapproval of many, par
ticularly in the South, of matching
white and black men in the ring,
there are probably many, on she 9th
er hand, who would pay well to see
the match, particularly since, it has
been long time since the fight-hun-
cry Pacific coast, formerly the 'Eome
of pugilism, has staged champion
ship contest. There are reports that
Johnson has come back wonderfully
in a physical sense under the intlu-
ence of plain living and regular work
in prison, and the he could put up
far better contest now than when
he lost to Willard at Havana. How
ever, if Dempsey meets johnson, ke
will lose much of his popularity,
which is by no means broad enough
even now to stand heavy loss.

FATAL SMILES

It's poor psychology for cham
pion to smile just before the battle.
Jim Jeffries smiled at Reno and lost
to Jack johnson. Johnson smiled at
Havana and Jess Willard beat him.
Willard smiled at Toledo and got a
lacing.
Jack Dempsey scowled as he step.
ped out to meet the smiling French
man, Carpetier, and beat his man
down.
Carpenters smile pleased the mass
in the Jersey City saucer but it got
him nothing except shattered
dream of winning the title.
This is not meant as an argument
against smile. They're fine in or
binary life, but the scowler i'll the
rings wins.

BILL, AND JACK

> Bill Iilden and Jack Dempsey de-
Tended their title on the same day
and almost at the same hour
While Dempsey was proving to the
world at Jersey City that those who
had doped Carpenter as having a
chance were wrong, Tilden, on the
tennis courts of Wimbledon, Eng
land, was discounting the prophecy
of tennis fans that he had gone
stale and stood a chance to lose.
Dempsey, the champion Of the
world, let Carpenter win the second
round of their battle decisiveIy. I'll
den lost few sets to his opponent
at the start. But they We've both
decidedly on their feet when the bell
rang. That's why they are greatest.
