COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DE
FENSE
Much of tI'll* useful work in
shaping the course of public af
fairs in this country is done by
voluntary associations of private
citizens, and that fact is one of
extreme promise for the future
of the nation. From these asso
ciations partizan prejudices, am
bitions, and interests are, as a
rule, pretty well shut out, and
men of all parties work for what
they believe to be Hie common
good. Two examples will occur
to most observers—the legislation
for publicity in political contri
butions. which has produced ex
cellent results, and the adoption
in the national and many state
jioverments of the merit system
for appointment and promotion,
which has greatly improved the
service and reduced corruption in
our politics.
Of like character is The Navy
League of the United States,
which is now seeking the crea
tion of a “council of national de
fense” to secure “effective official
communication between the ex
ecutive ad legislative depart
ments.” The particular bill the
league is urging provides a coun
cil consisting of the president and
three department heads, the
Chairman of the Military and Na
val committees in the two houses, J
and of four military and naval of- j
fleers. Whether this is the most
effective organization we are not
prepared to say, but it is logical,
and can be modified if experience
requires. The aim of the meas
ure is sound. It is simply impos
sible for congress to frame and
pursue an adequate policy for the
maintenance of national defense
without full, accurate, authorita
tive, digested information. This
cannot be go I by I he committees
of the hour without organized aid
from the responsible officers of
the army and navy. The errors
and defects of congressional ac
tion—which have been many and
costly—have not been due to neg
lect or perversity so much as to
helpless ignorace for the correc
tion of which no rational provis
ion has been made. From time to
t ime there have been efforts made
in this direction, but they have
Jacked definite aim and practi
cal co-ordination. Such a coun
cil as the league proposes would
have I he means to get at the facts
and would have effective respon
sibility in dealing with them. The
league is doing good service and
going at it in a sensible fashion.
THEY ARE ON.

The dispatches state that Ad

It is strange how otherwise sen
sible people will lose their heads
in ease of sudden disaster and
trample each other to death in an
attempt to escape. This always
gives the opportunity for the he

The Now York courts have de
cided that a citizen is not allow

keep p revolver in his house as

This will be good news for the
burglars.
After all, the government's ex
perience in the seal affair is but
a repetition of about every thing
they -do. If Uncle Sam does not
lose quite as much money in oth
er undertakings it is because
there is not so much involved.
There is an ordinance in this
city prohibiting the throwing of
ashes in the streets, which is be
ing; daily violated by our citi
zens. The ordinance should be
obeyed for two reasons: First, the
danger of fire, and second, the
leaving of ash dust in the streets
to be blown about by the summer
winds when everything is dry. In
all probability there is some mu
nicipal officer whose duty it is to
see that the provisions of this or
dinance are carried into effect.

It i a fad that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use j
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we're right. ,
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to j
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality. <
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home '
town and all who are jnteresled in the growth and prosper- J
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products. ;
