8HE OUGHT TO KNOW

the BUbJect of "Child Wolfure."
Mrs. Lulu Kent sang a solo.
. Congress is going to Investigate the
speech pf .Admiral Sims. TIiIb will

and at the finish no ono will have the

NOT WHAT HE SAID.
To the Editor:
You are riKht on Sims. Hut why didn't you t'o after him when
he said Keey. Daniels and Prest. Wilson werw murderers, they pro- 1
luugc-d the war half a ycur by nut tlolriK Just what Admiral Sims of
Canada told them to do. He ought to been eourtniartialed then.
June 5, P. MUKI'HY, Ashland Route.
THE jMAIL-TRIBUXK made mi ciniinieiit on what Admiral Kims
said, but "ii his snyiiif; anything nt such a time, nt such a place,
.mil regard in k such a subject. If the latest reports of his speech are
correct, there is little to criticise, as far as his denunciation of Ameri
can Sinn Feiuers, hyphenates and general trouble makers are con
cerned. On such a stand lie will find ample support in America.
But for an admiral in the American navy to enter the political
arena for Ireland or against Ireland, at the present time was to say
the least, indiscreet. I'olities, domestic or international, have no place
i'l the army or navy. There is a strict rule in both the war and navy
departments against it. Admiral Sims may have been quite riKht i"
everything he said, but absolutely wronjr, in saying it. . .
'';'''
So in regard .to-the Admiral's testimony before the congressional
committee. lie talked too much. When he told of "the lack of pre
paredness in J.lie navy, he was on solid ground, but when he went out
of his way to attack ollicials in the administration, he entered tho
lealm of partisan politics, where he hud no right to be.
As we said before, what Admiral Sims needs is a muffler. He
works too much on tho cut-out. As a politician he would be admir
able, for the cementing of Kiigland and American friendship is in
our opinion a political necessity, but as a high official in the Ameri
can navy, this "capacity is a serious detriment, and might lead to se
rious consequences.
One can imagine what the situation would be if a British admiral
should bo given a banquet at N'ew York and proceed to condemn or
favor Japanese exclusion on the Pacific coast. He might be quite
right in his opinions, he might correctly represent the opinions of his
government, but he would he recalled to London more quickly llian
Admiral Sims has 'been recalled, and he would discard his uniform or
lis political opinions very promptly.
PI
AUTO WEARINESS.
MY car is always on the blink, it's conduct's always coarse
and raw; it would have driven me to drink, long since, but
for ihc Volstead law. Oil vernal morning, bright and, cool, I go
rejoicing for a spin; ami in the dusk a farmer's mule is hired to
haul my tumbril in. The grim mechanics ply. their trade, and.
mend the divers busted parts, and then collect what coin I've
made, and blow it in the clanging marts. And evermore I hear my
friends tell auto yarns, in joyous notes; oh, nothing ever breaks
or bends about the other fellows' boats! Year after year they
howl along and cost no money for repairs and nothing's ever going
wrong, no sparkplug misses unawares. They climb up hills, tho,
owners say, without a knock or kindred sound; and I get iiijiek on
every brne, in every mmlhule I am drowned. It is the othef fel
low's bus that never gets its water warm, that ambles forth with
out a fuss its many wonders to perform. It is the other fellow's
van that's better now than when 'twas new; I have the only also
ran that ever made a driver blue. But can it be the other guys,
who brag in such a lofty tone, are handing me denatured lies
have they some troubles of their own? Behind the mugs that
bravely shine are there a lot of carking cares? Are other boats
us bad as mine, and break their owners for repairs?
