Rut the people will refuselo be scared. The old. threadbate. re. ectioua^y arguments have been investigated and found wanting in basis of fact. They will servo no more. The voters already have determined in their minds that the city gov ernment must bo modernized, and what they want they will get at the polls. (aovernmoiit liisuraueo Business WITHIN less than live months the United Stat'es government has issued slightly more than $12,000,000,000 in insuraneo to the soldiers and sailors of the American army | and navy. Approximately 1,500.000 policy- | holdvrs have been enrolled, and the end is not yet. Such figures as those almost take one's breath, and havo given more than a shock to the old-line companies, which have been compelled for generations to importune the reluctant man or woman to purchase tuat ?uianci.il security which can only be obtained through life insurance. Fortunately, the government is rot in com pel it ion with the private insurance corpora tions. The risks which it has assumed are risKf which the insurance companies have re jected from t.me immemorial. It has been lcgart'ed as suicidal for any private injuring j iiwuntion t j injure soldiers or sailor* iii time of war, a:i 1 most policy contr.t is writ- . ten in time of peace carry clauses which j vitiate the obligation if the holder enters the j armed forces of the country. nut the government assumes these risks in lieu of a possible pension in ease of injury or death, :ind obviously the policy which pro vides war-time insurance for the men in the fighting forces of the country is one of the sanest which this or any other government has adopted in this or any other war. The guarantee is given to the man in the ranks that his family is amply provided for. if he j be killed, or his future is safeguarded if he j be incapacitated for normal labor. All this j is arranged at so small a tost to the insured i that he can scarcely miss the premium ? exacted. Moreover, the premiums are taken from the pay of the insured, which relieves j him of the bookkeeping involved or the risk of failure to keep a policy in effect. I On ihe other hand, the government is re- I lieved of the enormous pension outlay which ' would otherwise tax the country for genera- ; lions after the war. The Treasury Depart- I ment has paid out since the War Between the States more money in pensions than the. war j cost in dollars and cents while it was in progress. .More than that, pensions are still j being paid, no? only to veterans, but to the j widows, and not only to widows of the War Between the States, but actually to widow.? of the Mexican War. Kven so. it is too soon to pronounce the government insurance scheme a complete financial success. This cannot be determined I until the war has ended and the accounts are I balanced. If the conflict continues for two or j throe more years and if the casualties are '< heavy, the payments which will ho necessary ! may create an enormous deficit in the treas- J urv of the War Insurance Uureau. " Such a I deficit would have to be made up by current ! appropriations. Protect llio Training Camps TIIK Secretary ?>f tho Navy has shocked certain cities by an order creating a dry zone five miles iu width around ^ifiht of the naval training stations, including the Naval Academy in the ancient and honorable city of Anuapolis. My this act he has. in effect, legislated the venerable city bone dry; he has placed a large part of the fashionable city of Newport. It. 1.. in tho same category, and has done as much for Yallejo, Cal.. a city within five miles of the Mare Island training station. Five other stations, three of which are on Virginia soil, are included, but the territory adjacent to them already is dry. There is nothing startling about this policy except the fact that it applies to incorporated inuib. Already the War Department, acting under authority of the selective draft lav,-, had ? rented similar zones around tho cantonments and other training encampments. Hut Secre tary Maker had placed most of these milit irv posts beyond incorporated cities that might be wet, and for that reason the army regula tions have not compelled any community that legalized liquor to reform itself. Mr. Daniels has had a different problem to deal with. Most of his training stations were established before the war came or else were established at plants which existed before the war. For that reason a number of thorn were in immediate proximity to wet cities, notably that at Annapolis and that at Newport. The only means he had of guard ins against the sale of liquor to the men en gaged in naval training was to outlaw the liquor business in such cities. The country ,i long time ago found that Mr. Daniels had the courage to deal decisively with the liquor question whenever the occasion should arise. I:i the present instance. Mr. Daniels needs no gratuitous justification for his drastic or der. lie has exhausted all powers of per suasion in an effort to induce the municipal authorities at Annapolis. Newport and Vallejo to protect the young men now in his charge aeainst bootleggers. It is unlawful for any person to sell liquor to a soldier or sailor in uniform, but this law has been violated with more or less impunity in each of these w??t cities. When Mr. Daniels ? found that local interests could not he relied upon to enforce this law, he decided to exercise the drastic powers given him by Congress to create dry -/.ones around every training rta tion of the navy. !! is order has now gone forth, and from this time on the provost guard of the navy will re-enforce police au thority wnen the latter seems incompetent in enforcing the law. Meantime, the three citi?:i aifected will go upon a bone-dry basis from a civilian standpoint as well as from a naval standpoint. \\ hit her or not Secretary Raker went to France to play tli?? role of David to Goliath llindenburg, it is quite certain that the Ameri can army he has sent over there defies the forces of the latter to come out of their trenches and fight in tho open.
