An Associated Press dispatch from
Peoria, III, "for half a century the
greatest distilling center in the world,"
reports that the people of that city are
rejoicing, rather than lamenting, over
the departure of a business that made
Peoria "famous!" Peoria's great dis-
till:ng plants, it says, are being con-
verted into food product concerns, in
which more men will be employed than
ever before. Distilling generally is
being loosened into other lines, and
today Peoria !s enjoying such a build-
ing growth and commercial increase
as never before was experienced.
From Charlotte, N. C., comes a
chronicl; of the great economic bene-
fits which have accrued to that city
and country from the stoppage of the
whiskey distilling industry and the
general prohibition of intoxicating
beverages. The thirty distilleries that
were in operation a few years ago in
the county, have given place to sev-
enty-nine textile mills, says the Char-
lotte Observer in a recent semi-cen-
tennial issue; and it adds:
"Todav the corn liquor is practicably
unobtainable at any price, and poverty
is as scarce." ,
Thus, says a correspondent of the
Christian Science Monitor (Boston1,
writing from Charlotte, "is epitomized
the history of one of the counties f f
the State, and shows what is going on
in North Carolina since the people
found a better way to live than by
brewing 'moonshine' or licensed liquor.
The grA't Catawba River, whose rich
bottow^once furnished the corn for
the v«^jkey business, runs through
the »inty, and now its fine water
powers with those of its tributaries,
have mp^e the memory of the old
liquor days 'a bad dream' to the popu-
lation. Then the town of Gastonia had
1,80() inhabitants; now they number
15,000. The banks have increased
sixfold ir, number and fiftyfold In
capital and vlcposits. The schools are
the boast of the county where once 'he

Where there is universal suffrage there
must of necesti'v be political parties,
and political leaders representing the
various and varying political senti-
ments; but one glaring fault of our
political system is that party leaders
have not always been pure patriots,
and par» followers have not always
put country above party; that there
has been too much partyism and pur-
tisanism when there were issues at
;take which called only for pure
patriotism But ever and always there
has been a great balance wheel in the
independent vote that partyism cannot
sway. There are striking evidences i
that this element will be even more
potent this year than usual—drawing
its reinforcements of those who have
voted the tickets of both the great
parties—and that it will be lined up
solidly against whatever leaders may-
be disposed to pander to the forces
that are not 100 per cent American,
for the sake of political gain either
for themselves or their party.
Ue have had altogether too much
partyism in the past; it appears we
shall have considerably less of it in
the future.

generally, In short, tlie reasons given are
these:
1. It Is supposed to be political.
- Hiving uuc credit to Admiral Sims for
his ability as a naval officer, they never-
theless declare tiiat tlie persuual equation
now dominates the matter.
Iu substantiation of the personal
feature they point out that Admiral lien-
son when he weut tn 1'arls to conclude the
terms oi the armistice found Admiral Sims
there and ordered him "back to his job''

4. Admiral Siuis was reported to have
desired to become a member of the llrltlsh
Admiralty but dropped the matter alter
lie learned ot the opposition of Admiral
j llenson to such a step.
| 5. That it was well known by the mem-
bers of tho advisory council thut Admiral
' Ntna possessed strong feelings of friend-
ship for the ltritisti as demonstrated by
his now famous "blood-ls-thlcker-thau-wa-
ter" speech in Loudon—and that his ten-
dency would be for a closer co-operation
the institution and the training' of "the
men iu vocational work will be 200 trained
artisans its Instructors In the vocational
work at an average salary of $90, a totsl
of $18,(100 per month of $210,000 pear year:
150 more nurses at the same as quoted
above, totaling $135,000 for the year for
the nurses; 100 additional attendants,
laborers, cooks, etc., at $03 per monlii
or 87S.000 per year; 20 additional doctors
at $3,000 or $00,000 per year; or a toti.l
payroll for the Increase of $489,000 per
year. This in addition to the payroll of
the original 300 lied Institution would
bring the annual pay roll of the Institu-
tion up to $550,200 per year. And all of
this money will be spent in the commun-
ity that harbors the institution.
But nothing has been said about tho
$80 per month that the patients able tj
take the vocational training will receive
at the hands of the Government. This
in round figures amounts to $1,4-10,000 per
year. Add to this the payroll for the
staff of attendants and there is a total
of $1,99.1,200, practically an Institution
with a payroll of $2,000,000 per year, all
of which is to be located in a city of Texas
that meets the requirements of the society
THE ALIEN ERROR
The other day a native American, who
probably traces his ancestry back to the
Mayflower, was heard to say: "I have
come to be suspicious of all foreigners; of
all men who speak with an alien accent, or
whose names betray a foreign birth or
ancestry. ' That attitude of mind is all
wrong.' It is unintelligent ami unjust.
We cannot, build a great America In that
spirit, and wherever that spirit, is found
it must tie fought. Nor Is the repression
of doctrines we dislike any wiser. The
alien error must be met by American
truth The raiding and deportation of the
Ueds creates the opportunity for an Amer
lean evangelism and this opportunity must
be seized with greater intelligence and
earnestness than we have yet displayed.
We are taking the anti-American agita-
tors away from their eongregatioins; rout
ing tbem out of their halls; seizing their
I itcrature and burning it., when it iian
served its purpose of convicting them out
of their own mouths. But what are wo
doing to replace the agitators and the lied
pamphlet with educational agencies of aji
American character? This ia the con
structive side of tlie problem whiieh call4'

Mrs, House afi.v they are feeling "splen-

in Texas. Tliey will remain in Austin
but a few days, going to New York the
latter part of this week.
Air. House would not discuss politic* i
or peace treaty matters He Insists that j
lie is here lor re .'operation and that he
left political questions behind him In the
Kust. There will lie no large functions
for the Houses, but they are constantly
meeting and greeting friends of the days
when they were residents of Austin.
During the many years the Hou«e* re- i
sided In Austin tney were most popular
und, as Is generally known, Mr. House
was one of the political powers of the
Slate, though working quietly and refus
ing any recognition for himself. He wa*
hailed as the maker of Governors. With
the exception nf the gray hair, Mr. House
looks very much llko he did when he lived
In this city.
Ills Intimacy with President Wilson, his
activities abroad' during the war and at
the peace conference not only made him
an international figure, but the small town

Concerning Admiral Sims' charge of lax-
ity on the party of the navy in supplying
h 1 in with destroyers, officials today re-
ferred to lhat portion of Seereary Dan-
iels' report, which said:
"War was deefnred on April 0, 1917.
On the 4th of May a detainment of il<
Htroyers was in Kuropean waters. By
January 1, litis, there were ti;t I'nlted
States naval vessels across and In Octo-
ber, 191H, the total had reached 3.'»8 ships
of all classes.
"At the present time (December. 101S)
there are 0,000 officers and 70,000 en-
listed men of the l'nited Slates Navy
serving tn Kurope, this total being greater
than the full strength of the navy when
the I'nlted Stales entered the war.
With regard to Admiral Sims' complaint
that his i.-tin."si tur battleships waa dls
regarded, members of the advisory board
said toda$ the) were unable to nndei
stand why such a request had been made.
The) declared thai the policy of the
board, which was well known to Admiral
Sims, was that as the llritiBh navy was
not employing battleships, but wan keep
Ing all of its capital ships protected from
submarines by stationing them iu home
ports, was to follow similar precaution
nry lines. They also asserted that at the
time Admiral Situs was demanding but
tleships, the German high fleet was al
ready bottled up in home ports.
Kefute rSiniN* Statement*.
So far as Admiral 8Una' criticisms of
the conduct of the navy toward submarine
warfare was concerned, members of the
advisory board declare that none of them
is well founded. They referred to the
fact that Senator Lodge himself, on June
ti. 1U18, after the submarine attack otf
the New Knu'land coast, went to the Navy
Department, Inquired as to what was In lug
done and later said in a speech:
"The navy anil the Navy Department
have taken every precaution that human
foresight could suggest, so fsr as I atn
able to Judge, und I have examined their
preparation* with such Intelligence and
care as I could give the matter. Mr.
President, the navy and Navy Department
have necessarily anticipated a submarine
attack from the very beginning of the
war They have had It constantly In their
minds. They have tried to make every
preparation to meet It. I think they
have."
Similar sentiments were voiced by Dem-
ocratic leaders In the House.
Secretary Daniels, when seen nt his
home this afternoon, would not dUcnss
the Slrns charges In any way. He niiui •>
reiterated his willingness to go before the
Senate committee uud answer all ques-
tions. Admiral Sims* letter containing the
charges, has already been referred to the
Oeneral Naval Hoard, and It Is tadleved
that body will meet soon, anil by order of
the Pccrclary, lo consider the communlca
tlou and Its contents.

tempt to learn the manner tn whleh th"
fact lhat Admiral 81ms had sent s second

protest against the wanton destruction of
Jewish property in l.kralnia. as originally
proposed, in view of the fact that the ar-

who were responsible for the most of the
bloody massacres of Jews, had been com
pletely crushed in battle and had ceased
to be a factor in Russian affairs.
Representative of 11! Jewish organizations
were present at the meeting and pledged
their aid to the relief committee, thus put-
ting behind tho movement to raise funds

The meeting also endorsed the plans uf

ranged lo stage a dramatic and musie.il
