policy let US hope that he will save
like amount in undermining our coast
defences.
Criticisms of Mr.. Hughes's policy at
home are more serious than those we
may expect from abroad. Already we
hear grumblings and rumblings from
shipbuilding plants, armor plants and
navy yards. Politicians who represent
these interests and certain conserva-
tive naval officers are dazed at the
wrecking of the 1916 program. But it
deserved to be wrecked.
4 Muddled Department
The story is a short one. When the
armistice was signed our enemies
were PROSTATE. They had no navies.
Our friends did not threaten us. We
had refused to prepare for war against
our enemies from 1914 to 1917. There
was no reason or excuse for preparing
for war against our friends in 1918.
We should have economical to the ut
most-as England did. We should
have scrapped useless ships at once.
We should have calmly discussed our
future naval policy and modernized it.
We should have reorganized the Navy
Department. It was not properly
organized for war. 1t never has been
1t is not now. There is no real head.
There are eight or more little navies
more or less Independent at the Navy
Department. And Congress, with the
testimony before it, perpetuates the
muddle. No wonder budget officer
states that a general staff is needed
at the Navy Department. He can't find
anybody or any organization properly
to control naval economy.
And SO we kept old ships in COM
mission wasting many millions. The
1916 program was resurrected. Con-
tracts for billions were signed for
ships whose early doom was predicted
by intelligent naval minds and clear
ly indicated by the record of the sub
marine and by advances in aviation.
The Navy Department and the naval
committees of Congress proclaimed d
"the greatest navy in the world" com
mitted us to spend billions for an out
OF date navy, alarmed the world, and
led all navies in a foolish race for the
most expensive and the least useful
naval armament.

Macy Sured From, Itself

But Mr.. Hughes has saved the navy
from itself-and other navies as we'll
The best naval minds in the world are
in accord with him. Sir Percy Scott
rightly exclaims: "Owing to the
changed conditions of naval and aerial
warfare, building battleships is policy
of the insane" Vice-Admiral Mark
Kerr, another British admiral, de-
clares: "The suggested abandonment
of all capital ships on the building pro-
gram, either actual or projected, am
quite in agreement with We have
enough capital ships for Europe and
these across the seas could not be used
for action in European waters-they
are too far from their base. Keeping
old and obsolete ships is expense with
out efficiency SO that the scrapping of
these would be good economy"
More need not be said. There are
American admirals who would gladly
voice these arguments because they
are, incontestable. The 1915 program
deserves to die. It has cost us too much
already. It's sponsors must now act as
it's paIlbearers. The navy survives. 1t
is strong enough in battleships. We
have eighteen. We have never had
more than that in commission. We

need other weapons-if we need any
modern weapons.
The navy, loyal to duty as ever, will
stand immovably behind the President
1t will modernize its mind. 1t will look
to the future. 1t will gladly put aside
an armament that belongs to a dead
past.

whatever it is it seems chronological.

With a one-track mind
And a one-inch tan.

With her one-haNd arm

Police Prussianiism
Protests at Interference with the
Town Hall Meeting

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: / wish to add my protest to
the many feel sure that you will re-
ceive over the arrest Of Margaret
Sanger at a meeting in tho Town
Hall last evening, where Harold Cox,
former M. P. and editor of "The
Edinburgh Review" was scheduled to
speak on "Birth Control, Is 1t MORALE"
This meeting was the climax of a
three day conference on birth control,
at which noted biologists, cugenists,
psychiatrists, writers and experts on
the question of populations read
papers showing the need for the i'm
provement and control of peoples.
When Mrs. Sanger was led from the
platform last night by two stalwart
policemen before word had been
spoken the audience rose spon-
taneously and sang "My Country, 'Tis
of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty"
If we allow these things to happen
without protest what is to become Of
ou precious liberty? If people are to
be arrested before they are heard, IL
distinguished foreign visitors are to be
treated to such an affront, what is to
become of our freedom Of speech and
thought and the principles on which
this great country of ours was
founded?

Wherever crime in any form, espc-

seem to be hard to find, but when q
woman who Is working in behalf of
humanity tries to conduct meeting
to discuss worthy cause the police
are on hand to deport themselves in

an earlier age would have meant
swords or pistols at dawn.

Don't You Mean Phi Beta Copper?
F. P. A.: While in college worked
very hard to gain the approval of my
professors and fellow students, and I
was accordingly awarded Phi Beta
Kappa key. My brother, who was
never graduated from. grade school,
earns five times as much as 1 do and
Is an Elk.
Last week we were In Connecticut
driving in my brothers car at no In
considerable speed. A policeman held
US up, informing us that we were going
at least twenty miles faster than was
permitted and that we would Lave to
appear in court.
He glanced at my Phi Beta Kappa
key and began in no gentle language to
upbraid the reckless college boys who
have no regard for human lie. Sud-
denly he spied the Elk's tooth my
brother was wearing, and with a smil-
ing warning, apologetically Given, he
allowed us to go on.
For the protection Of tho members
of my lodge, which is every bit as sood
as the Elks, couldn't one suggest to
Mayor Hylan that at least 20 per cent
Of the members Of the police force be
required to own Phi Beta Kappa keys

SUPT. DUKES WILL
QUIT CITY SCHOOLS
WILL GIVE HIS ENTIRE TIME
TO EDUCATIONAL INTER
ESTS OF THE COUNTY.

Superintendent J.. c. Dukes, who
was recently reelected by the city
board of education, will not accept re-
election, but will give up the position
he has held for eight years as the head
OF the Dawson public schools.
For the past two or three years Mr.:
Dukes has been superintendent OF
both the city and the county school
systems, and has filled the two po-
sitions satisfactorily. Each has grown
to such an extent, however, that he
feels that he can no longer occupy
both the city and the county super
intendency and do justice either to
the schools or himself, and he has
therefore decided to retire from the
CITY schools and devote his entire time
to the educational affairs of the coun-
ty.
During his incumbency of superin-
tendent of the city schools Dawson S
educational interests have steadily ad-
vanced, and there are many who regret
his decision to sever his connection
with them. Terrell county has one OF
the best school systems in the state,
and with the superintendent giving it
his entire attention it may be expected
to make greater strides forward.

But the distance from the center OF
the disk representing Betelguese to the

Thus the Earth, as plotted, on the

The mean distance of Mars from the
sun, however, is al 100000 miles and
so that little planet assumes a posi-
ton outside.
From such diagram one gets a
vivid notion OF the immensely OF Betel-
guese, compared with which our sun
IS a mere midget. 1t is undoubtedly a
globe of burning gas, giving out mil
lions of times as much heat and light
as our sun emits. Yet, owing to its
vast distance from us, it is, as seen in
the sky, only a point of light.
Nobody has ever seen Betelguese.
In a proper sense we have never seen
any of the stars. Viewed through pow
erful telescopes they appear greatly
more brilliant, of course, but they are
still only points of light. They cannot,
like the planets, be seen as disks.

GOV. CATS ARRESTED
EN- ROUTE TO FLORIDA
FIVE CITIZENS OF ALBANY
WHO NEVER SAW HIM BE-
FORE SIGNED HIS BOND.

ALBANY, Ga.-Former Governor
Sidney J. Cats, of Florida, indicted
by the federal court of the northern
district Of that state on peonage
charge. and who was arrested here
Saturday morning, made bond and
departed for Jacksonville, to which
place he was en- route when he stopp-
ed here to wait for railroad connec-
ton.
Bond was furnished by five Albany
business men, none of whom had ever
seen him before. They were A. J.
Lippitt, chairman of the board of
county commissioners; E. R. West,
secretary-treasurer of the S. B. Brown
Company; w. F. Jefferson, banker;
!!B. B. Ivey, furniture dealer and r.
H. Terrell, attorney.
Shortly after the bond was COM
pleted a message came to bank here
from the State Bank at DeFuniak
Springs, Florida, Cats home, author
izing a credit for the amount OF the
bond, in reply to Geographic request
from Cats.
Before the federal bond had been
signed Sheriff Tarver received tele-
phone message from the attorney gen
eral asking that Gov Cats be held
for the state authorities after the fed
eral bond was made. Sheriff Iarver
asked the attorney general to have
Governor Hardee, of Florida, send a
telegram containing this request and
stating amount of bond. After a con-
siderable wait the attorney general
again was called up and urged to
hurry the telegram from Governor
Hardee, but the attorney replied that
he and the governor would have to
hold a lengthy conference first.
Mr.. Cats insisted that the attorney
general was attempting to delay mat
tiers and harass him in every way pos
sible, whereupon the sheriff informed
the attorney general that unless he
received a message from the governor
before las o'clock he would release
Mr.. Cats, who wanted to leave for
| Jacksonville at 1:55 p. m. The mes
sage did not come and the former gov
ernor was allowed to depart. He de-
clared to the last he had been perse-
cuted by political enemies.
Before leaving Gov. Cats informed
his bondsmen he had been to British
| Columbia and did not learn OF the
indictments against him until he was
en- route home. When arrested he had
| in his possession a ticket from Gin
cinnati to Jacksonville, and was wait
| ing here for a connection.
