A KIND WORD FOR OUR NAVY

In this day and time when the most ponular
sport indoor or out is crticsing our Navy-particu
larly among landsmen who tn nix a ships funnel is
Tor taking on gas-t is refreshing to hear the Eng
hsh naval critic, Hector c. Bywater, say our Navy
leads the British In the mooted matter of aircraft
Only one ship in the British navy, he says, is
equipped for launching airplanes, whereas in the
American Navy each battleship carries one scout.
ing and one combat plane, and each cruiser two
scouting machines Moreover, he understands
eighteen American destroyers carry combat plane
apiece and nine submarines fitted for the trans
port of a small scouting plane
''If these reports are true" he declares "thev
leave no doubt as to the long lead which the Amer
can fleet has gained in the development of this par
ticular branch of aviation"
Bywater further points out that while Britain
now has mere aircraft carriers built than America
has, her policy of concentrating everything aboard
these carriers instead of distributing planes through
out the fleet as we do is undoubtedly bad In battle
he observes the vulnerable carriers would be singled
out for destruction at the very outset and IL
full In this, the enemy would have great advantage
Under the American system every carrier might
be destroyed and there would still be left scores of
planes to carry one.
The battleshp remains the backbone OF the
navy, Bywaer insists, taking sharp issue with those
who say aircraft have doomed it, Aircraft, he CON
tenus' nave become an indispensable part Of navies
but none save faddists believe the capital ship has
been superseded.
when the torpedo has acquired the range and
precision of 16-inch gun" he argues when subma
rlnes have become as swift and as seaworthy as
big surface vessels; when the radius and carrying
power of aircraft have increased tenfold and bomb
dropping is as accurate gun practice then but
not till them will the primacy Of the battleship be en-
dangered.'
Now you sea dogs, three cheers for Hector!

"HATRACK"
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson =

Universal is the plague of squirt" SAYS honest
OLD Browning. Herbert Asbury, who paints us dole
full picture of the small church and rural Mag
dalen In recent issue of the American Mercury mag
azine. almost squints himself blind in an effort TO see
clearly.
There is another side to this picture I can we'll
recall another small town church and it's experience
with famous painted lady Of the vicinity This con-
sregaton was made up of the ordinary type of Ban
list which infests communities that Mr.. Asbury and
Mr. Mencken detest with such a hullabaloo. This par
tcuar plyer Of the ancient feminine trade was no
'Hatrack, however. She a handsome blooming
almost beautiful woman, but her reputation had been
so shady as to border upon ebony.
She was converted one day and Joined the
church where she welcomed with the fervor which
Is supposed to be showered only lost sheep Hsv
ing an excellent voice, she given a place in the
choir, not without many misgivngs by some of the
other women members, who sang not half so we'll
looked not half so lovely and who possessed husbands
susceptible to alurement. But bravey indeed noblv
each made no murmur but stood up at every service
beside the Haunting siren and sang hymns of praise
to their God. And how behaved this Magdalen who
had been heartily welcomed the House of the
Lord?
She only laughed them to scorn behind their backs
she used her position, her conversion-to 1irt ont
rageously with the deacons the elders: later she
carried on various affairs with pillars the church

From personal observations in spite of Mr.

would advise church sisters in this WISE
Extend the hand of Christian fellowship but be
very careful about admitting the town Magdalen to
the choir.

NOT so ABSURD

There may be smile at the suggestion of So
cialist member Of Congress that Wayne B. Wheeler
head of the AnttSaloon League, be made the car
of the prohibition enforcement agencies.
Possibly gigantic petition from those who be-
lieve in that particular political organization would
obtain favorable action on the part of the presi
dent
1t might be possible for him to obtain this post
TO have direct power instead of his present club of
threat and criticism which he holds over those in
office
The suggestion has much to commend it, even
though it might have been made in a spirit of jest
Wheeler has a reputation for being an organizer
Of no ability.
He has been able to create machine which he
can dominate and control. He commands and has
explicit obedience from those he puts in charge of
his various bureaus.
He boasts that he has been able to control the
personal habits of presidents.
Certainly no one could suggest that he does not
Heeye that the prohibition laws be enforced and
that it is possible to mop up all the moist spots in
the Nation.
With that belief and given power to select his
subordnates without regard to senatorial wishes
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-04-27

and needs, there could be question after he had
made the effort to whether it be possible to en-
force this particular law.
The recent hearings disclosed the fact that there
are very many sincere believers in temperance In
this country who believe that there is no practical
way to enforce this law and that the Government
itself is powerless, no matter how much money or
how many men are put to work, 70 check the food
of poisons and the corruption hch have prevailed
since the Vostead act passed.
These sincere men and women are quite ready
to be shown that they wrong. They would like
to have their faith restored in prohibition. They
would like to believe that it is practical and work
able.
There is just one little question that might not
be easily answered
Does any one believe that Mr. Wheeler would
accept this job if it were offered to him?
Does any one believe that he would leap to the
call of President, if asked to take charge of the
enforcement agencies?
His endeavor to explain why he did not take
the stand in the senatorial inquiry and defend the
law he champions was not very convincing.
He says that he did not testify as to the benefits
of prohibition because he feared that the crossex
animation would take long that no other witness
could testify He paints his action certain sort
of martyrdom and sef-denial.
But the fact remains that the cross-examination
of Wheeler should have been the very best weapon
in defense of the cause he champions
There the opportunity to confound all the
critics of the present system.
There was the chance to lay bare all the fala-
cies and alsties he charges to those who have the
temerity to suspect the lack Of any divine inspira
ton in that law
But he did not appear. He did not testify He
did not give the public the benefit of his superior
knowledge on this question.
Could he be persuaded to take the job of actual
ly enforcing the law which he says can be enforced
If he could, give him the job and watch the re-
suits. II he can enforce the law without revolution
then the law will stand. If he fails. then he and
his political group should stand aside and let real
friends of temperance revise the laws and create a
system which is workable and which will end
drunkenness and debauchery.
