The Annapolis Quota

Secretary Wilbur's plea in his annual re- port for return to the system under which five appointments to the Naval Academy are allowed for each senator and representative is based on sound reasoning. Under the pres ent law, allowing only three appointments to each member of the House or Senate, the number of students at the academy has been reduced to 1876. This number is insufficient, in Judge Wilbur's opinion, to turn out enough officers to supply the navys requirements He believes that the full quota of 2,5OO students
 for which the academy has equipment should
 be in training every year. His belief IS based
 on the theory that the multiplication If types of naval vessels and the increasing variety of naval weapons create demand for larger officer personnel than the navy has heretofore had.
 The argument will appeal to the civilian as well to the naval expert. It requires only one backward glance over recent naval de- velopments to reveal the fact that the navy IS today building two classes of vessels with
 which it had no experience three years ago light cruisers and airplane carriers. The same glance will also show that the hydroplane and the submarine are developing along new lines
 and that new tactics and new weapons are being developed to keep pace with them. These developments call not only for better equipped officers. but for more of them. Today the navy must not only have well-trained officers
 for the service formerly required, but also highly skilled specialists for technical work
 in the new fields that are rapidly developing.
 It is difficult to believe that these needs can
 be supplied unless the full quota of students are kept at Annapolis as Secretary Wilbur
 reccommends-No Virginia Pilot.

PEOPLE RESERVE JUDGMENT

The charge brought by two hundred alumni of the Alabama Polytechnic In stitute at Auburn against the administra- tion of that college will not fail to arouse the wide and regretful attention of the people of Alabama, who regard Auburn as one of the principal factors in the de- velopment of the resources and citizen ship of this state. Nor can the director ate of the institution properly refuse to make inquiry into the situation as de- scribed by the alumni resolution. In jus <. tice to Dr. Dowell, his name should be cleared from imputation, if there IS no proper basis for the allegations. In jus tice to the institution and to the state, whatever adjustments a thorough m- uuiry might reveal as essential or desir- able should be made.
 F The people of Alabama have confidence fin Auburn, and they believe that it IS now serving the state in manner indls- pensable to its welfare. The only ques- tion at issue is not whether Auburn is conferring incalculable benefits upon Alabama, for that is admitted, but in what degree if any it is falling short of the full service it is designed and ex- pected to render. The people of Ala . bama recognize that Governor Brandon : has fallen far short of fulfillment of his own promises and pre-election pledges with respect to education in this state and that Auburn has shared in the subse- uuent injury due to such failure, regard less of the character of its executive ad- ministration.
 AS regards the capacity and record of Dr. Dowell, the people of this state are quite willing to reserve their Judgment until he has had opportunity to make whatever reply he deems suitable and en,, Tightening, and until the directorate of the school have had time to make the 2 careful study of the situation their duty apuears to call for.

Active Patriotism.

The excess of patriotic display is wearing off a little in Italy, according to foreign visitors in that country. No longer do the bands play seven patriotic or national songs at the beginning of concerts, the fascisti are content with four. Though a fascist may at any time demand new patriotic selection to test the ardor of the crowds. For if one does not rise quickly enough, there comes a slap in the face from some black-shirted ruff fian," writes an Englishman. On the whole the new Italy is little different from the old. True, the young super-patriots have saved the country from Leninism. But instead they have given another system of terror or near terror. The Rome division of the black militia has caused the following proclamation to be posted throughout the streets in view of the continued liberal opposition in parliament Heed not the gibberings of the old men, the enemies of Italy, who should have been shot in 1922, whose mouths are full of bitterness and curses because they no longer taste the sweets of office. Or if you do heed it, re- member there are 300,00O fascist bayonets not yet rusty, fine reserves of castor oil in the pharmacies and good many stout limbs spelling for little active patriotism"

WASHINGTON SHOULD CLEAN UP.

An assistant United States attorney of the District of Columbia says that there are five thousand bootleggers in Wash ington, and that one out of ninety per sons in that city is engaged in the illicit liquor traffic. The statement is an estl- mate, but, coming from an official who has charge of the police court side of en- forcing the prohibition law it carries weight.
 If the estimate has not been exag- gerated, it shows a situation which IS dis dressing and which calls for correction. Washington brides itself on the character and efficiency of it's police force, which lis large in comparison with other cities of it's size. There are in Washington many prohibition enforcement officers It is headquarters for enforcement of the
 prohibition law, which stands on the statute books by congressional enact ment. Apparently there is official neg feet, incompetence or intentional pur pose to ignore the prohibition law in that
 city. Of all cities in the United State;
 Washington is the last that should permit itself to Haunt the law.
 The assistant attorney says that there are at least ten thousand persons who were brought into the courts charged with various forms of bootlegging during the last five years; that eight thousand pleaded guilty, or were convicted by the courts; that less than fifteen hundred cases were nolle pressed for lack of evi, dence, and about five hundred of the accused were acquitted by juries, or re. leased because of failure of juries tc agree. The attorney points out that fol first offenses fines were generally i'm posed; but such action had little effect on the traffic. Now jail terms are i'm posed not only for second offenses, but for many first offenses.
 It is apparent that fines have com paratively little effect in breaking up the illicit liquor traffic in a city like Wash

Brief Nature Studies
By J. OTIS SWIFT

w THEN Aeolus has shaken down the last W of the glorious autumn leaves and
 W tucked them about the trundle-beds of baby plants and shrubs in the forest sweep ing wide open spaces, lodges and brooksides clear to heap the soft bedspreads about the roots of the older and feebler trees, the full glory of the mosscs and lichens appears. Leucobryum or white moss, tufted, with peculiar leaves, forms dense grayish white pin-eushions along rocky ground. Dicranella, the plants growing close together on earth covered stones or damp soil, has glory all its own.
 Pogonatum, with many species distributed widely over the world, but only few in Eastern United States, grows on the ground, it's olive or dark-green plants scattered some what. Pogonatum brevicaule is found from Alabama to Nova Scotia east of the Missis- sippi growing on wet clay beside roadways and in clearings in forests With its dark green or olive leaves it gives colorfulness to the surface. It grows from green pro tonema. the growth first produced from the spores and forming close mat of threads on the ground, and which later feeds the plants and holds together the clay where the moss grows, and prevents erosion.
