Speaking of Ideals

president COOLIDGE urges that the danger to
America is in the direction "o failure to maintain
its ideals" We guessing he is right.
Among the ideals that we have held dear and which
embamed in fundamental law is that of free
speech and a free press None is bigger with import
None other promises much in this land of free
dom.
Over in Rhode Island that little piece of Atlantic mud
which tolerance permitted to become state the presid
ing officer of the senate has denied the right of Prov
dence newspaper to have representatives reporter
present at the sessions of that body.
Displeased with the attitude of the paper in question:
which happens to be of opposing political faith this
siding officer assumes not given him by law or
right AS best he can. under the circumstances he
poys that power in attempt to suppress free speech
and to neutraze the freedom of the press. He is
oed by his ire rather than by the best and purest ideal
written into law, that know
Perhaps Mr. Coolidge had this case. others similar
in his mind when he spoke of the danger of them. Per-
haps he did not We do not profess to know what
which prompted his utterance. We only know that
gross and shameful attack is at this moment being made
best ideals in the very section of the country
whence Mr. Coolidge gets his Wanted conscience.

The Annapolis Cadets.

Secretary DENLY has issued an order
to the superintendent at Annapolis to
the effect that any midshipnlan found
guilty Of being under the influence OF
Intoxicating liquor or Of having liquor
in his possession within the limits Of
the academy grounds will be subject
to dismissal from the academy and
from the naval force.
1t is lamentable that such an order
should be necessary, but it is justin.
able and should be enforced. Scandal
GUS tales of drinking among the cadets
at the Naval Academy have circulated
for some time. The Secretary now
proposes to enforce the extreme PEN
atty upon all those young men who,
engaged in training for naval officer
ship. violate the law which they
are sworn to obey and maintain.
Good discipline is the basis Of all
efficiency, and discipline cannot be
maintained with lawbreahing. 1t is In
the last degree important that the fu-
ture officers of the Navy, commanders
of men. trustees of great responsible
ties. should be scrupulously law
abiding and temperate.
