Magruder Disciplined

Rear Admiral Thomas T. Ma
gruder wrote an article for the
Saturday Evening Post some weeks
ago in which he expressed the
opinion that the Navy could be
run with fewer officers and less
money without impairing its eff
cheney.
The article created quite a stir,
of course, especially in govern
ment circles, and there was some
talk of calling Magruder on the
carpet, but after what seemed ma
ture consideration, Secretary Will
bur indicated that so far as dis
ciplinary action was concerned,
the incident might be regarded as
closed.
Since that time, Magruder has
been bombarded with question
aires. and demands for explanation.
Now he is peremptorily relieved
of duty as commander of the
Fourth Naval district and the
Navy yard, and is ordered to pre-
sent himself before Secretary Will
bur at Washington on Nov. S.

Theodore Roosevelt knows too
much about AL Smith and too
little about the Fall-Sinclair oil
lease.
Is it not strange how familiar a
politician can be with the short
comings of an administration in
which he has no part and how ig-
norant he can be concerning those
of one in which he was an active
worker?
Roosevelt's utter lack Of knowl-
edge as to what went on in the
Navy Department where he was
assistant secretary would be less
startling were it not for his abso-
lutte certainty as to what has been
going on at Albany while he was
not present.

General Motors Profits

General Motors earned $l93,-
100000 during the first nine
months of this year, which is
$36,OOO,O00 more than it earned
during the same period last year.
People jump to the conclusion
that the absence of Henry Ford
as an active competitor since last
May offers full explanation, but
this gives General Motors too
scant credit.
Mr.. Ford contributed something
through his absence, no doubt,
but General Motors also contrib
uted something through its own
energy, improved management
and increased facilities.

Thnmb-NaiL
Sketches

Chin in hands, little Rosa Grey
sat thoughtfully hunched up on her
doorstep. She had spent almost an
hour in profltless research. She did
not yet know how the thing was &C
complished but 1t was very definite
ly connected with the nurse per-
son who wore a dark blue uniform
and carried a satchel. She had Wis
tied Nellie's house-and there had
been left as If by magic, a baby
brother. She had visited James
house, and after she had gone away,
she, Rosa, had discovered that there
was baby girl there who had not
been there before.
1t was simply the way out Of the
problem. Her mother had already
limited that soon, perhaps, she
might have the baby brother or
sister she so coveted. Her mother
had looked very tired and worried
when she had said 1t, and Rosa
attributed this to the fact that she
might not be sure Of 1t, and was
afraid of being disappointed
Quite evidently, the thing to do
was to get hold Of that nurse be-
fore she left the neighborhood and
invite hes over. Rosa was little
ashamed of the way the house
looked since her mother had been
so sick. She was a bit ashamed Of
her clothes, too, but she had the
promise of new dresses as soon as
her mother "felt better" enough to
make them.
In any event, the need Of a baby
sister or brother was imperative and
there was no time to be lost for
the nurse was approaching.
And so 1t happened that when the
Public Health Nursing Association
nurse passed by, q small girl with
large, earnest blue eyes was walt
ing to halt her.
Surprised Mrs. Grey permitted
herself to be examined by the nurse
who made several visits to the little
home after that In preparation for
the Stork's arrival. Mrs. Grey had
not known that she might have the
valuable services of graduate
nurse during her confinement at a
,rice which she could afford to pay,
or failing that. that she might have
them gratis because of

Gag Sincere Views

BY no stretch of the magma
ton can Admiral Magruder be re-
garded as having hurt the Navy
in public opinion. Whether his
criticism was altogether justified,
whether his views we're absolutely
sound and whether his figures
were absolutely correct, they were
obviously put forward for the good
of the country and che good Of
the service.

Who VIII Tell People?

Many regard this action as just
a preliminary step to Admiral
Magruder's punishment.
1t even is suggested that he may
be contaminated, which, whether
the Navy Department realizes it
or not, would certainly lead to a
Congressional inquiry.
The American people are get
ting very tired of gag rule for old
and trusted officers.
If such men as Rear Admiral
Magruder cannot inform them of
what is going on in the Navy, who
can, and if such men are not al
lowed to, who will?

Big Laugh for Nation

When big Bill' stampeded
Chicago by his campaign against
king George" and the world
court, the country took it as a good
joke, and he should have taken
it the same way.
He should have admitted to
himself, if not to any one else,
that Chicago did not let him come
back because of this new and
amazing foreign policy, but be-
cause it wanted its policemen to
do something beside chase boot
leggers and promote gang wars.
If he had only taken that view
of the situation, he would have
prevented a good farce from be-
coming a tragedy ard himself
from becoming a nationwide
laughing stock. II

To the Editor:
Noting an article written by E.
w. Little appearing IN your issue
of Oct. "a, I desire to make a short
reply.
Complaint is made by Mr.. Little
because of certain criticism directed
at Governors of sister States" The
only Governor criticised was Gov.
]. G. Walton of Oklahoma and the
interesting thing about the matter
is the fact that Mr.. Little submitted
the resolution himself, made q
speech in favor Of its passage and
voted for it. As president of the
Hustling Hundreds, I did not vote
for the resolution, nor do I vote on
any resolution.
In his article he takes me to task
for criticising the water company,
and strange as it may seem the
question of proposed boosting of
water rates come up at the same
meeting at which he was present as
member. None was more severe
in condemning the action of the
water company than was he at
that time. AS consequence he was
placed on committee to work with
the Federation of Community Civic
Clubs in opposing any increase in
rates. In this regard you are re-
ferred to the article in your issue
Of Oct. 3, 1923, under the heading
"Englewood Citizens Oppose Walton
Acts"
1 believe The Times will be fair,
even if Mr.. Little was not, and will
give the same prominence to my
reply as was given to his attack.
Yours truly, -

The peculiar feature of it is that the students
who work. as rule are the ones who make the best
grades. Those who have to labor in order to eat
realize the value of work, and consequently they

Inductive reasoning takes known

ing is that from general principles
to particular cases; reasoning by in

seem to apply, certain facts are de-

It Proves Something, Maybe

why girls leave the diplomatic service" might
be the title of scenario with Miss Lucille Anderson
of Ohio formerly third secretary at Panama in the
leading role.
Miss Anderson recently resigned from the service
after five years of coming up through the ranks just
as the men now do or are supposed to do under the
Rogers Act
Miss Achersons appointment was real news because
there is prejudice against women in the diplomatic
and consular services.
Various arguments are advanced against women
consus and diplomats. The prejudces of Latin
tries against women working and the loss of caste
which one suffers under such appointment is one
of them. Another is that consus and other repre-
sentatives abroad often have to do unpleasant jobs
and go into places where the United States doesn't
like to send
But all these could be battered down and were
when Miss Anderson and one other woman in the
service received their appointments.
But Miss Acherson resigned about month ago.
"Aha, she's found out it's for woman to
attempt to be diplomat" sale The wiseacres.
But today the reason for Miss Achersons resigna-
ton became known.
She's going to be married.
And now say the wiseacres, "See that's what hap
pens with woman. Just as you getting her
nicely trained for ob she resigns and gets married."
