COMPETITION AND CHEAPER SHIPS
IT IS not of t,rcat Importnnco nt this tlmo
whether tho "bid" of tho League Island
Navy Yard for building a warship was only
nn cstlma'o or whether It was higher than
the bids of tho prlvnto shipbuilders, as tho
representative of a prlvato company charges.
What Is of Importnnco is tho development
of tho League Island yard until it can build
battleships ns well as they can bo built any
where. Thcro aro somo olliclals In Washing
ton who would llko to liavo all tho warships
built In Government yards; but that would
bo as great a mistake as having nil tho bat
tleships built In prlvato yards. It has usually
cost moro for tho Government to build a
man-of-wnr than the prlvato corporations
hnvo charged for constructing similar ves
sels; but If It wcro not posslblo far tho
Brooklyn Nnvy Yard to turn out a ship of
nny kind, It is likely that all warships would
cost moro than they do today.
So long ns tho Government can check off
bids by estimates from its own working ship
builders It will profit by tho competition be
tween the public and prlvato shipyards. No
better thing could happen to tho shipbuilding
Industry on tho Delawnro than tho establish
ment of a great rival plant nt League Island.
THE SHOOTERS
THE tiff between Shooters and Councils
has been blown away In tho wind of com
mon sense. Tho Shooters know that New
Year's Day just wouldn't bo right and llko
homo without them, and they aro going" to
play.
Just why the city turns out on the night
o December 31 and crowds nnd Jostles until
4t reaches a vantage point in tho neighbor
hood of City Hnll is n real municipal mys
tery. Tho thrill of seeing tho lights go out
and, coma on again Is not tho real secrot.
The secret is more likely to bo found In tho
human sympathy which binds together all
those who como under tho spell of Philadel
phia, which has a character and a disposi
tion of its own.
For tho samo reason tho city returns to
Broad street on the first day of tho year and
watches the mummers. It is a tradition
with us that they aro to bo bright and fan
tastic and wonderful. So tho city, whllo It
congratulates the Shooters on their good
sense, pats Itself on tho back a little for Its
good fortune.
PEACE OF MIND
NOBODi" Is quite suro when the "Do-your-Chnstmas-shopping-early"
slogan began
to bo popular. By this time wo nro so fed
up with It thnt It has censed to have any
effect whatever. Sometimes we pass It absent-mindedly
with nn adlrmatlvo nod. Some
times we resent Its urgency. Barely do wo
heed It.
If wa nro to do Christmas shopping nt
nil ai.d a wlso Providence sees to it that
Just nt this tlmo of year we are suffused
with a desire to buy and are comfortnblv
disposed financially tho chief reason for
buying early is that it will be dono when
'tis done. Tho willing and hard-worked men
and women who sell to us hava a claim on
our solicitude which wo seldom recognize,
at Chrtmmas or at any other time. We are
not, as a race, capable of hurrying ourselves
because of tho certainty that If wo do not a
wan, weary girl whom wa do not know may
- s drag herself homo at 11 at night nnd bo ex
pected bnck at work at 8 the next morning.
Wo admit it Is terrible, when told of It.
But we go on.
So Christmas shopping must bo put on a
selfish basts. You will never have peace of
wind until you have conquered your shop
ping list. You will not sleep o' nights until
Uncle Harry's speckled muffler is wrapped.
Counting today, there aro 17 days. Have you
thought of tho great-niece of the uncle's
ister-ln-law?
WHAT IS EXPECTED OP CONGRESS
THREE great questions are to be consid
ered by the Congress which meets In
Washington today. They are preparedness
fQr natlona) defense, tho raising of revenue
to meet the cost of the additional expense
xf the preparedness program, together with
the ordinary expenses of Government, and,
last, a plan for rehabilitating the merchant
marine by Government money,
Tho Democracy, however, Is not agreed on
any one of these questions. The men .well
grounded In political economy are opposed
to Jhe merchant shipbuilding program. There
are almost as many views on the best way
of increasing the revenues as there aro
Democrats Jn both branches of Congress,
and the opposition to an Increase In the
army and navy Is ao strong among the mem
bers of thq party In power that there Is no
hope of doing' anything without the OBslst
rHco of tho Republicans.
President Wilson succeeded In holding the
)t Congress together and In deriving his
ypograro through largely because ho had a
program uod because his party, newly
trusted ytiu responsibility, was too daied
by the upu customed power to 'reassert Its
Inherent determination tj 6a the wrong
tbln t tho wrong time.
If tM Democratic party leader la the new
Congress nro. poj .t Mr-liter's feeadt
within two months It will surprise every ono
familiar with their provlous careers. The
refusal of the Senato caucus to matte ft party

to kill tho matter by puttlnpr It up to the
wholo Senate was patriotic and rrfatcsman
llko. Hut tho very reasons which Impelled
tho mucus to turn the plan down nro thoso
which will separate the majority Senators
Into flRlitlnp factions. Tho Senators with
positive convictions on national defense nnct
tho ways to rehabilitate tho merchant ma
rine refused to nRrco to surrender their
Judgment to tho orders of any caucus. Thoy
nro determined to bo freo to fight tho Presi
dent's program If they think best.
Whatever elso happens, tho country Is ex
pecting tho President to uso nil his power
.... - ..... ... .... .... ..... ,....,-
' to "cra,,n(50 Congress to ndopt nn lntolll
gtnt national defense program, even If ho
has to split his party by doing It. and to for
feit whatever chances he may have for re
election. And It expects Congress to pro
vldo enough revenue to meet the now ns
well ns the old expenses. Tho Kcptibltcnns
are likely to co-opcrnto on tho great na
tional and non-partisan work of prepared
ness. Hut when It comes to revenue legisla
tion, they will lot tho Detnocrnts contlnuo
their blundering policy and prove onco moro
their financial Inrlllrlency.
A GOOD HEC. INNING
T 11111.1- of tho live appointments to tho
Cabinet of tho Mayor-elect aro non-polltl-cal
In character. Consldnrlng tho result of
tho recent campaign, which was nbsolutoly nn
Organization victory, Mr. Smith must bo
commended for having so far Ignored political
workers and secured tho services of men
whoso chief recommendations aro their ability
to do things nnd do thorn well.
It Is, on the wholo, a better Cabinet than
might reasonably have been expected. There
Is, for Instance, assurance of expert direction
of port development, in which project millions
of tho public money will be expended nnd on
the success of which will depend tho futuro
prosperity of the city. So, too, In tho Depart
ment of Public Works there must be every
conlldenco In tho efficiency and good purpose
of Mr. Dalesman. In these two departments,
where political appointments would have been
a calamity, Mr. Smith has met tho situation
satisfactorily by tho appointment of cnpablo
men.
It Is clear, nevertheless, that tho Cabinet
would be strengthened greatly by the ad
dition of Mr. Taylor as Director of City
Transit. Ills appointment would nt once
end nny opposition to tho huge transit lonn.
It Is well known thnt Mr. Taylor is loth
to accept further hervlco. but tho Mayor
elect, In spite of previous announcements,
could do nothing bettor than tender him
the appointment and depend on public senti
ment to compel Its acceptance.
The Cabinet Is not by any means tho
strongest tho city has ever hnd, as Con
gressman Vans avers, but It Is certainly ono
of tho best Cabinets ever offered tho city
under Organization rule. There is much
cnuso for grntulation In that, tho moro so
because tho next four years will form ono
of tho most Important periods In tho de
velopment of tho city.
GOOD LUCK TO THE DREAMERS
THE Ford expedition is chimerical; In the
light of public knowledgo It oven borders
on stupidity. Yot sympathy with tho aims
of thi t whltb party of zealots Is well nigh
universal. If by some mlrnclo its dream
might bo translated into achievement thoso
who ridicule would bo first and most loynl
in shouting their hosnnnas. But tho miracles
now being performed nro tho miracles of
tho fight, tho prodigies of heroism which
have become dally occurences on a dozen
different fronts, the wonders of tho airmen,
tho surgeons, tho commissary and tho munition-providers
nt home.
It Is a double mlrnclo which is required
of tho Ford party, for Its object must bo
certainly not the achievement of peace only,
but tho achievement of that sort of peaco
which would freo Europe forever from tho
military heel. Any other kind of peaco
would bo a tragedy moro terrible than tho
conflict which rages.
To Europe, torn by battle and burden, Mr.
Ford Is likely to nppear more ns tho per
nicious meddler than as a prophet of peace.
If will bo fortunate, indeed, if his voyago
does not bring rldlculo down on his own
country. That heretoforo has been Mr.
Bryan's peculiar privilege.
But good luck to tho crusader, and may
he, his friends and nil tho newspaper men
get safely homo again!
ROOKS
THERE Is n classic story concerning two
members of tho merry-merry, ono of
whom was much perturbed. Sho didn't know
what to givo Flo for a birthday gift. Flow
ers weren't approptiato and sho couldn't
afford Jewelry, and sho was generally miser
able about It when tho other chorus-lady
suggested that Flo bo given a book.
"A book?" questioned tho would-bo giver.
"No. She's got one."
It's not a new story, but It comes to mind
when one sees that a distinguished clergy
man In St. Louis has made a list of six
books, the reading of which would make a
man educated. Thero Is Flammarlon on the
wonders of tho heavens, and a book on
Geology and Lecky and Spencer nnd Clarko
nnd Taylor on Primitive Culture and presto!
you are educated.
Somehow the prospect, distant though It
be to most of us, will not prove enchanting.
What are these things to us? Six books or
six hundred matter very llttlo Just now, and
a llttlo knowledgo of men and things matters
so very much. Certainly If we know all
about the subjects of these books wo would
know a great deal that Is useful and alto
gether true. But we would hardly know
enough to answer tho chorus-lady who
summed up the wholo philosophy of books
In her single phrase.

JUSTICE HUGHES
A "SELF-MADE" MAN
At tho Age of Five lie Drew the
Straightest Line Between Two
Points, the Line of Hard Work,
and Has Followed It Since
THE secret of tho success of Charles
Evans Hughes Is Charles Evans Hughes
himself. No claim Is mado for this remark
that It Is In nnywiso subtle. It Is simply
ono of thoso obvious statements which seem
to be especially true
of certain particular
cases. In tho caso of
Justice Hughes, It
may bo extended to
Includo tho respect
nnd esteem In which
tho man Is held by
tho American public,
irrespective of politi
cal partisanship. His
own present aloof
ness from partisan
politics hardly ex
plains tho high re
gard In which ho Is
held by tho peonlo at
large. Something ""stick hlgiils.
deeper and moro vital, something cssenlally
n part of his lifelong character, la tho
reason. Justlco Hughes Is ono of the
most distinguished and most admired men
In America, not becauso ho has followed nnd
realized ambitions, but becauso ho has been
faithful to Ideals. Ideals and not ambitions
or circumstnnces havo mado him great.
Ho has nono of tho theatrical personal at
tributes which commonly nrouso enthusiasm
and keep It alive, yet resolutely tho Ameri
can public refuses to eliminate him from
tho list of presidential possibilities.
He, too, Is n schoolmaster, ns somo of us
havo nlmost forgotten a schoolmaster nnd n
scholar, a schoolmaster who has schooled
and mastered himself In a very literal sense.
Made His Own Conclusions
From childhood oven from babyhood he
was studious. He was not only studious, ho
wns also precocious Jn capacity nnd accom
plishment. Iiut ho was nover n prig; his col
lege mates never thought of him ns a
"grind"; he wns always enthusiastic for
things human and nllvo.
Ho learned to read when ho was sys years
old. At the age of C his father inspired him
to study local geology. Tho boy had read
all of Shakespeare by tho ago of 10, besides
many works of standard fiction. He had
become acquainted with every Inch of
Palestine, and had acquired a familiarity
with the Ulbla which ho developed year
after year as his mind grew. Few profes
slonal students of that book havo a moro
thorough knowledgo of it than Justlco
Hughes.
At the age of B ho was sent to school.
But his mind traveled so much faster than
that of his mates that the teacher could not
keep him occupied. At that early ago ho
appeared before his father ono day and pre
sented him with a document entitled
"Charles E. Hughes' Plan of Study." He had
marked off the day Into study periods,
specifying the subject he wished to pursue
in each, and on submitting tho schedule for
uyiuwui requested mat he bo allowed to
study at home. Here were Initiative, direct
ness, love of system, passion for results. The
request was granted and tho schedule
adopted with few alterations. His father, a
Baptist minister, and his mother, a woman
of excellent education and fine attainments,
were his teachers Until his tenth year. Be
sides the primary studies he pursued French
German, Greek, Latin and mathematics!
After four years In a public school he'
matriculated at Colgate at the age of u,
entering the sophomore class of Brown
when his father became pastor of a church
In Providence. At college he read omnlv
orously In all departments of literature and
philosophy, participated In outdoor sports
and youthful pranks, took honors in scholar
ship, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and
received one of the Carpenter premiums an
nually awarded to the two men of the Benlor
class "who shall, In the Judgment of the
faculty, unite In the highest degree the three
most Important elements of success la life
ability, character and attainment." There
are the three words which are applicable to
very stage of the career of Charle3 Evans
I I
THE CURTAIN RISES
Hughes. Their truo meaning is found in tho
combination.
After graduation from tho Columbia Law
School ho passed tho best examination in
tho history of tiio Now York bar, with n
rating of 99"4, nnd entered tho ofllco of Wal
ter S. Carter, of whom ho afterward boenmo
tho partner and then tho son-in-law. For n
fow years ho withdrew from tho firm nnd
taught law In Cornell University. President
Schurmun, of Cornell, has snid of his lec
tures: "Hughes would lecture for thrco hours,
always without a note, cltlng'porhaps a hun
dred cases and quoting the opinion verbatim.
It is a matter of record, too, that his pupils
did not 'cut' his lectures. Nor should ono
miss tho human noto nmidst nil this labor.
Apart from his regular hours. Professor
Hughes gavo up his own time, his own recre
ation periods, to help tho less brilliant, to
'coach' tho less proficient among his pupils.
Students who marveled at his scholarship
wcro still ablo to profit by his friendship."
Whence tho Justice Relaxes
Reserved ho has been called all his life,
but "I nm no wooden Indlnn" ho has said
on occasion. "I hope," ho onco said, "that
if nn autopsy Is ever performed upon mo
you will find something besides sawdust nnd
useful information." Ho has few intimates,
but ho has a fow. Ho has a genuino ca
pacity for friendship, delights in story-tell
ing, In good books and good music. His
principal relaxations aro Dumas, Balzac,
golf, camping, European travel nnd moun
tain climbing. His greatest delight Is his
home.
Ills memory reminds ono of Jmcaulay's.
Ho can clto decisions verbatim without refer
ring to a book, and his fnculty of remem
bering figures Is marvelous. But natural
brilliancy of mind Is by no means tho secrot
of his intellectual attainments. Thorough
ness and hard work mado him ono of tho
most formldnblo trial lawyers of tho coun
try. For months nt n tlmo ho worked day
and night. In preparation for his law enses
ho studied not only law books, but books of
sociology, economics, statistics, mechanics.
In a caso concerning a player-piano patent ho
confounded tho experts by a knowledgo ns
detailed ns their own. Ho had moved nn In
strument into his home, dissected and recon
structed it and studied Its mechnnfsm till
ho knew nil nbout It. Two experts in tho
technical sldo of tho tugar business onco
appeared as witnesses In a caso In which
Mr. Hughes wns ono of tho attorneys. Ono
of them remarked afterward: "I will go back
and study more. I thought I know some
thing nbout tho sugnr business, but Mr.
Hughes asked mo questions I
couldn't answer." Tho other said: "Mr.
Hughes knows moro nbout the sugar busi
ness than I do." That is Mr. Hughes, the
lawyer studious, thorough, awaro that tho
way to results is hard work, nnd that, too,
is Justlco Hughes, of tho United States Su
premo Court.
