The Navy League, under whose
auspices the celebration is institut-

what the navy is doing and what
they plan to do in the future.
Edwin DENLY, secretary of the
navy, issued the following procla-
nation in connection with the
forthcoming event:
st is for US of the navy a fitting
time to turn our minds for a few
hours from the engrossing details
of our daily tasks and consider the
responsibility we bear as the heirs
and ~custodians of the high ideals
and fine traditions exemplified by
those great men that have made our
navy the symbol of unselfish devo-
ton to country. The names of Paul
Jones, Barry, Decatur, cambridge,
Hull and Perry are inextricably
bound up in the making and preser-
of our nation.
In every generation since the
founding of the Republic we have
been forced to defend our peace and
our honor and never has our navy

failed to respond to the nations call
with a promptness and vigor that is
beyond praise.
Our people know much of the
victorious navy of war times, but
little of its share in the victories of
peace; of the prestige that its arm
ed strength gives to u statesmen
in their conduct of diplomacy; of
the protection it gives to the ilhon
of dollars in exports which we can
not and must market in
every quarter of the globe: of the
insurance that it gives the entire
people that this vast business by
which we live shall not collapse In
time of war: of the great value of
the navy as an industrial asset; OF
its aid in the maintenance and Sc
curity of our foreign policies and
the rights of our citizens in any
country where they may be Jeopar-
died.
Those are a few of the reasons
why the navy must ever be alert,
ever ready for instant action
whether such action may call for
diplomacy, tact, humanity or force;
reasons why in the final analysis
our navy must be inferior to no
other navy in the world. Such a
navy was agreed to in the Limita-
ton of Arms Treaty. We wish for

interest we a ask for nothing less.
The pride / feel in the officers and
men of the service justifes my faith
that the best plea for an adequate
navy will be the exhibition always
to our country men of the splendid
manhood, unselhsh patriotism, and
devotion to service of the men of
our navy"

LIFE AND PROPERTY OR
FIRE TRUCK CONVENIENCE?

A recent incident here has brought
up problem that has faced many
growing cities-the right of way of
fire apparatus over pedestrians and
other vehicles. Palatka is operating
under a traffic ordinance passed
many years ago. If the members Of
council will read this ordinance they
will Immediately see its inadequacies.
One of them, we believe, is the regu-
lation Of fire apparatus when not ac-
tUally going to a fire.
In many cities the fire apparatus
is limited 10 speed as are other We
hicles, whether going to a fire or not.
The administrative bodies became
convinced, after several fatal acct
dents, that life should be placed
above property. In practically all cit
les the speed limit and other traffic
regulations are imposed upon fire
apparatus not actually going to a
fire, and we believe it the better part
of wisdom to have the sam eregula-
ton here.

privileges at the expense of every
other interest.
| Mr.. Mondell's boast Of Republican
economy in reduction of expenditures
finds its best answer in statement
by Representative Byrns Dem.
TENN shat the Presidents budget
estimates for the fiscal year 1923
were $500, 900 more than the reg
ular annual appropriations for 1922,
and that this Congress has appropria-
ted for 1928 over $4,000, 900 more
than was appropriated in the regular
supply bills for l22"
Continuing mis- statement, Repre-
sentative Byrns says: Represents
tive Mondell refers to q reduction of
estimates of the Democrats admin
istration by Republican Congress
for the year 1921 in the sum of $780,
100000. Why was he not sufficient
ly frank and candid with the people
TO say that, this same Republican
Congress passed deficiency appropri-
ations during that year of over s482.-
100000, thus restoring the estimates
TO that extent? Why did he not ex-
plain to the public that the reduction
was made possible by heavy reduc-
ton of the army and navy after the
estimates were submitted by the
Democrats administration, and not
through the efforts of Republican
Congress?"
Leader Mondell boasts of the
amenment to the Federal Reserve
Act providing for the appointment
Of an .agriculturist on the Federal
Reserve Board, but does not credit
this legislation to the Farm Bloc-a
bloc criticised and condemned by
President Harding.

MONDELL'S ELEGY ON
PRESENT CONGRESS.

Republican House leader MondeI
appears TO be one of those Cheerful
and discriminating persons WIKI
could find genuine pleasure visiting
q cemetery and reading the epitaphs
on tombstones. This observation is
pertinent TO his review Of the work OF
the sitting Congress Just prior to the
summer holiday adjournment Of the
Houe, while the Republican Senate
remains in session and frets and
fumes over the Profiteers' Tariff bill
known as "Fordney's Folly"
Although the Military Affairs
Committee had made q favorable re-
port on the Muscle Shoals project and
the bill was ready for discussion, the
Republican agricuIturists Of the
House could not be held longer in ses-
sion. One must be a hearted
person TO blame them, however, after
the results in Indiana, Pennsylvania,
Iowa and North Dakota, not 10 men
ton what happened to Ira c. Copley
multi-millionaire veteran member Of
the Ways and Means Committee of
the House, out in Illinois.
1t ought not 10 be necessary for the
Democrats to make any extended re-
ply to Mr.. MondeIl's eulogy of this
Congress, which is really not eulogy
but an elegy. The Republican press
and Republican spokesman who still
retain sense Of proportion and are
not afraid to speak the truth, have
anticipated him and have already an
swered his principal assertions. For
instance:
Mr.. MondelI says: mo Congress
ever sat under this dome that was
more faithful, diligent, painstaking,
earnest or intelligent or sounder in
its Judgment and decisions than the
present Congress. Never in the same
length of time has so much legislation

The Boston Transcript, typical
ORTHODOX Republican newspaper,
(which voices the opinion held gener-
ally by the most intelligent of the
Republican press, says:
The record Of the House of Rep
resentatiyes in the first year Of the
new administration stamps it unnais-
takably as the worst House in TWEEN
. ty years. Taken as a whole
the House of Representatives as con-
trolled by the Republican party as
judged by its record TO date, is IN
worthy Of another lease of life"
Secretary of War Weeks in q re-
cent speech at Cleveland, O., declared
that the present Republican Congress
has reached the lowest ebb of any
Congress in the history of the coun-
try" and his remarks were approx
ingly commented upon by the lead
ing Republican newspapers Of the
country.
Last November William R. Wood
(Repb. Ind.) declared upon the floor
of the House that Everybody is CIV
ing Congress hell" and justified it on
the ground of its failure 10 do what
ii promises and what it was expected
TO do.
One of the important measures
passed by this Congress was the Tax
Revision bill Mr.. Mondell admits
that the tax burden was not reduced
to the extent that Congress would
have been glad 10 reduce it, but adds
there was not only an honest but a
successful attempt to relieve fairly
and equitably SO far as was possible
under the circumstances the tax bur
dens of all classes Of people"
Of this bill the late Senator Pen
rose said that the tax revision bill
was "make-shift" and that the work
would all have TO be done over again.
With this view Senator Smoot rep.
Utah) concurred, and what Senator
Smoot does not know about taxation
he will never learn from Monden.

said: THE progress of the tariff bill

made 2,O57 amendments. This is the

WIDE CONDEMNATION OF
THE ASSAULT ON WENDLER.

As the Times has feared, the NAL
treatment of J. H. Wendler, editor
of the Florida Post, the republican
paper published at Winter Park, by a
mob last Friday night, is bringing
Orange county in particular and
Florida in general unmeasured con-
demnation. While it was inevitable
that the man would be held to per-
sonal account because of his intern
perate attacks on citizens of good
standing. no law-abiding citizen can
condone the brutality and the cowar-
dice of the mob. For the protection
of the good name of the state it is
earnestly urged that the officials of
Orange county employ every means

Some time ago the local fire trucl
ran into a citizens car at Third anC
Lemon streets and damaged it to the
extent of something over sl0Oe to
say nothing of endangering the life
of the occupants. Technically, the
driver Of the fire truck was within
his rights, when ne took advantage
OF the special privilege accorded the
fire department in the traffic ordi-
nance and cut corner without max
ing the long turn. He was coming
west on Lemon street and turned
sharply into North Third without GO
ing around the post in the middle Of
the square. The citizen was driving
his car east or Lemon at Third street
just as the fire truck turned in. He,
like probably IS per cent Of the driv-
ers in the city, expected, as a matter
of course, that the truck would make
the long turn, as il was not going to
a fire. but merely returning from &
practice run. The result came near
being tragedy.
/ Some members o. council, when the
matter came up last night, took the
position that the accident was the
fault 70 the citizen. Whether this is
true or not il is the first duty Of the
council 10 eliminate the life hazard
as far as possible before considering
4, the convenience or desires Of city en-
ployees.
It would be regrettable indeed tnat
a life should pay the price Of frac-
ton Of a second saved by the fire de-
partment IN turning a corner, and we
do not believe that q single member
of the council would uphold the pres
ent practice if j Eventually means
the taking Of q life, or several lives.
