SECY DANIELS AND ADMIRAL FISKE. Pushed to th wa.ll In tho!- rffort to mike polit!ril capital out of the no.ir-trrason of Admiral Flrrn. employing it to discredit Soc'y Dar.lols. with final results that reflerUd backward upon the senut instead. It Is no wonder that the Investigating1 sub-committee should tnke to harking back and quoting ancient history to substantiate iL claims. What the navy w;n like, or certain of its warship?, back In at the Um of tho nlels-Flske con troversy, even if what Admiral KL-ke claimed were true. Is about as rmirh proof of the claims made by Admiral Sims in 1920, with reference to 1917. is the claims that preredpd the voyage of Columbus are today proof of the shape of the earth. Fi-ske. backed by the Navy Uajruo, was the groundwork cf the attacks upon Hrc'y Daniels preceding the war, for political effect then. Just af the attacks by Admiral Hlms, backed by th Navy league crowd, ar blnpr employed for political tffoct now. n-Jt this time there are now tos upon which to tread, fom of them, of cour , so political as to le thankful for It. but In the main, when Admiral Firns epaka to the ilircrcdit of the work of the American navy during the war, even to asserting addenda that the army was only in the way beyond the Fees, he is casting idnrs at too many Americans for the senate committee to successfully bolster up ItK crusade by reu rrectine1 tho run of Admiral Fiske. You remember the old agitation of those daj-s. The militaristic plan was to place the navy department In the hands of the general board, of which F!sk was the hrad. the civilian secretary of war to be reduced to a mere rubber stamp. It didn't work, and It never will work as long as the American peop!e retain their senses. To b sure Admiral Flske. bead oi' the board, made sundry representations as a reason of his proposed program, that the navy was Inadequate, the equipment antequated, and ?o on an inheritance of yers. but all of which was then sought to have appear to have been brought about by Scc'y Daniels and the Wilson administration during the year 1913. "We do know this, however, that despite that claim. America m 1 : 1 7 and 19 IS transported 2,000.000 men overseas, the navy with the aid of British transports doing the job, besides assisting effectively In ruttlnc down tho XT-boat menace, and in the policing of the Xorth sea. Neither did we lose a finite mar. in carrying out that transportation system which may be to the glory of the American navy or it may not: pro-Sims anti-Wilson politicians in the senate, of course, thinking not. Another purpose of the Fiske controversy was to discredit Pec'y Daniels in his fight for a government armor-plr.te plant that the American navy mlcrht o improved without the American people being forever mercilessly robbed by Fucene Grace, Charley Schwab and Carnegie and Fnited States steel, whose patriotism, it seems gave them license to furnish armor-plate much cheaper to Kngland. France. Russia. Japan. Germany or anyone below what they were charinsr Fncle Sam. Tie pot the ap1 roprlatlon for the plant, however, and the price of armor-p!ate immediatelv came inwn, maklnpr it undesirable to build it. Much improvement of thenavy was done durlnj 191" and lflfi and at a much lower figure than could have been had not lie appror riation been made. It would be dangerous busine? to rinar up this FUke aff.iir but for the anti-administration depend ne upon tr " hort-memories of the American people in succumbing to such chicane. Vothlng seems to daunt them, however. Campaign claptrap must be conjured up and the Sims diatribes having suffered a set-back, nny strav was good enough to gra?p at in an effort to bolster him up That is all there is to the bringing up of the Fisk affair. More partisanship skirting the edge of treason.
THE PRESIDENT DECLINES TO SIGN A SURRENDER TO GERMANY. Tres't Wilson in Iiis veto cf the Knox facsimile Frest-Iitovsk peace resolution, takes his usual high ground, and again reminds the American people lhat any peace which does not settle the issues upon which we entered the war, deprives us of victory, and brands us as surrendering to the foe. The Ivnox resolution would have declared the war between the United States and Germany and between the United States and Austro-IIungary at an end without any treaty, then sending ourselves hogging of these powers to come to some understanding with us such an understanding as they might pleae. That it would seem, would indeed, be too much of surrender for a elf-resj. ecting people. The presilent puts It letter than we can: "I cannot brins; myself to become p.vty to an action which would place an in, f! aceable stain upon the gallantry and honor of the Fnited Stats. The resolution seeks to establ:h peace without exacting any action by way of yettir.s; right the infinite wror.KcJ which the (.;- rra.tn covi rnment did to the peoples whom it attacked and whom we professed it our purpose to assist whi n we entered the war. Have we sacri:.ctd the liws of Aor than IOi-.v'jv Americans and ruintd the
lives of thousands of others and brought upon thousands of Am'rican families an unhapplnes that can never end for purposes rhlch we do not care to ptate or take further steps to attain? "We entered the war most reluctantly. Our people were profoundly disinclined to take part In a Vfaropear. w r and at last did o, only because they bftirne convinced that It could not In truth be regarded as only a European war, but, must be regarded as a war In which civilization ltBelf, wai involved and human rights of every kind as against a belligerent government. Moreover, when we entere! the war we set forth very definitely the purposes for which we entered, partly because wc did not wish to be conaldered aa merely taking part In a European contest. This Joint resolution which I return doM not seek to accomplish any of these objects, but In effect, makes a complete surrender of the rights of the United States eo far as the German government Is concerned. A treaty cf peace was signed at Versailles on the 2Sth of June last which did seek to accomplish the objects which we had declared to be In our minds, because all the great governments and people which united against Germany had adopted our declaration of purpose as their own and had In solemn form embodied thern in communications to the German government preliminary to the armistice of Nov. 11, 101. Hut the treaty as signed at Versalllea has been rejected by the senate of the United State though It has been ratified by Germany. I'.y that rejection and by Its method we have In effect declared that we wish to draw apart and pursue objects and Intert its of our own, unhampered by any connections of interests or purpose with other governments and peoples. "Notwithstanding the fact that upon our entrance into the war we professed to be seeking to ausist In the maintenance of common Interests, nothing is said In this resolution about the freedom of navigation upon the seas, or the reduction of armaments, or the vindication of the rights of IUdgium, or the rectification of wrongs done to France, or the release of tho Christian populations of the Ottoman empire from the Intolerable subjugation which they have had for so many generations to endure, or the establishment of an independent Polish state, or the continued maintenance of any kind of understanding among the great powers of the world which would be calculated to rrovent In th future such outrages as Germany attempted aad In part consummated. "We have now lr. effect declared that wo do not care to take any further risks or to assumo any further responsibilities with regard to the freedom of nations or the sacred ness of international obligation or the safety of independent peoples. Such a peace with Germany a pace in which rone of the essential interests which we had at heart when wc entered the war Is safe-guarded Is, or ought to be. inconceivable, Is Inconsistent with the dignity of the United States, with the rights and liberties of her citizens, and with the very fundamental conditions of civilization." That is a pretty serious Indictment flung into the faefs of the Lenines and Trotzkys of the congress. Nothing in this veto about the attempt of congress to usurp the functions of the executive; nothing about the unconstitutionality of the resolution. Just shame on the men of congress, so barbarous, unAmerican, and unprincipled as to conceive of a monstrosity of such order. There are some things that ought to be too low for an American to undertake even ns a political maneuver. Failure to ratify the Versailles treaty has been bad enough. This ef-' fort to negotiate a peace, through complete surrender, by congressional resolution, goes to the very heart of cowardice and treason to civilization itself. Ienine and Trotzky did no worse at Hrest-L'.tovsl; than has been attempted In Washington. Indeed, they did better. They at least were sufficiently considerate of Russia to negotiate some kind of a peace. They did not surrender without getting something in return. Their treason was alone to their former allies, and to civilization, but they stultified themselves In that rather than in neglect of the ideal of their own people, while the only Americans that seem to have been considered by the majority In concress, seems to have been GermanAmericans, who keep the emphasis on the German.
NO PAPER FOR SPEECHES. The paper shortage has been brought home painfully and personally to the senators and congressmen who are candidates for re-election. According to custom, the government printing office has been looked to for reprints of campaign speeches from the Congressional Record, which In former years have been citculated by the hundreds, of thousands among the people back home. 13ut the printing office hns Just been obliged to issue notice that no more orders for speeches can be filled because of the Inability to Ret the paper and that the paper shortage is becoming so acute that even the publication of the Congressional Kecord itfelf may have to bo suspended, or at leaU very materially curtailed.

A JOAN OF INDUSTRY. (Philadelphia Record.) In a little town in Pennsylvania there lives a 16-year-old girl who might well be the subject of sermons on ambition and industry'- She Is the eldtst of four children. Her mother died a short time ago, and since then this has been her dally program: Aride at 4:30 o'clock, feed the stock, prepare b re? k fast for the family, dress the two younger children, tidy up the house, set out noon dinner for the family, then go off to high school, a walk of two miles. After school she walks home, gets the supper, feeds the stock, does the dishes and puts the little sisters to bed. Since life should not all labor be, she attends all the dances and school parties which her mates enjoy, and with it all she is at the head of her classes. Of course the home arrangement is not permanent, nor should it be; it Is too heavy a load for 16-year-old shoulders, however willing. F.ut in these days when so many able-bodied women are walling over the impossibility of getting someone to come In regularly and dust the piano, and so many trong men remain wilfully Idle In order to foVce up wage scales already Inflated and to lessen hours already too short for needed production, this child becomes a sort of modern Joan of Arc who has lisWned to the voices of industry and service, and whom a j.cople mieht well follow to victory over tho forces of selfishness and shirking.

OF HUMOR, (From the Marlon Republican.) I wish to extend my heartluel thanks to my many friends, who during my recent illness gave me roses of sympathy and even gave me a sip of the milk of human kindness. I wish to thank them that they did lot wait until the Doctors, looking wise, said: 'Tie's dead." Immediately they send for the undertaker to be sure that I am dead. He cuts my veins, lets out what blood I have in me, pumps me full of poison, sews my eyes and lips together so I can't speak or wink at my friends, puts me in a casket, screws the top down on it so I can't get out. Taking more precautions thej- put me in another box and fasten It good and tight: a few more precautions, they put nie In a deep hole six by six by three: then put soft dirt all around the side of my box; then at a signal, for fear that I come back all hands join In pilinpr dirt on me as long aa they can get It; then to give me trouble to get up If I could, they take their spades and pat the dirt on me good and strong, then here comes the friends with flowers and pile them on my grave as long ns they can, then stand back and look down on where I am and say smell them
More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
A ItliMi JODT. How oft are ancient dreams dispelled; How oft are old illusions shaken. Beliefs that we have fondly held, How oft they prove to be mistaken For instance both in ; rose and rhyme. We've read the offspring of a parson Was sure, when grown to turn to crime Black crime like forgery or arson. We've bade our progeny avoid The children of the local preachers. Lest thoir young souls should be destroyed By playing with such dreadful creatures. When burglaries have spread about The town, and In a panic flung ul We've said to all our friends, "Look out! A preacher's son has come among us!" But now we find the cleric's child, For rectitude, wins frequent laurels. His ways are never b: se or wild, And no one dares impeach his morals. He minds his mother, goes to school, And. hard upon hi.s graduation Adopts and follows, as a rule, His father's pious occupation. Thus fades another fond belief That in our mind has been inherent Statistics show that not a thief Has had a parson for a parent. It gives one very grave concern, When old illusions thus are busted. ?ome time we may be 'hocked to learn That even lawyers can be trusted!

LUCRI7TT A. Though Lucretla was the name borne by the notorious daughter of the Borgia, it is one of the quaintest and most old-fashioned of names in this country. It is a far cry from ancient Rome to modern New England, but the name has completed the transition with very few changes to mark the successive stages of its evolution. There are two theories among etymologists in regard to the original source of Lucretla. Some contend that it comes from the Itin word Lucrum, meaning "gain" and for that reason. Lucretla is said to signify gain. On the other hand, there is much evidence to prove that its real source was in the Latin word for light, lux. Many feminine names have been derived from this root and the same word has supplied surnames without number. It is be.leved, therefore, that the noted old gens Lucretius from which Lucretia is directly descended, was only another of the derivatives of lux. "Lucreca combing the fleece under the midnight lamp." the famous old Roman tale. inspired Shakespeare to write one of his earliest poems. Despite her notoriety. Lucretia Borgia probably established the name of Lucretla in Italy and in early modern times it was one of the few classical names to be revived. France has a Lucrece which Is popular and England Imported Lucretla in the eighteenth entury. Lucretia's talismanic stone is the red-hearted ruby. It has the power to hrlns her strength of body, an invincible spirit, and success In every undertaking. Tuesday is her lucky dav and 6 her lucky number. (Copyright, 1920.)
