Though recognizing the well-known and admitted fact that government operation is more expensive than private operation, the shipping board will not give up operation of the present merchant marme fleet until some plan has been devised that will insure their continued oe ships. The members 0! ie bourd are fully rarey 88 was President Hard- the 1s ing, that to Mpinding contract to operate them under the American flag would mean that in a short time the vessels would pass mn ownership and to operation under foreign flags. The policy that is now being followed was an- nounced last April by President Harding when he said: “Since we cannot hope for see ue te ownership, we propose to do by Mabiea 3 and Tinsolidate our lines and serv- ices, applying the lessons of experience, which cost us hundreds of millions in operation alone, and then offer them for sale. If we cannot sell, we are going to operate and operate aggressively until congress inhibits such a course. Confessed- ly this is a contradiction of the proposal to have less ent in business and more business in government; but if we cannot get out of the shipping business in a practical way and be = sured of privately owned and privately opera’ shipping, it is the business of the government to conserve our shipping assets and to make for our self-reliance on the high seas.” a eof the most notable incidents In connec: Pg with discussion of an American merchant marine policy is a statement recently made by Gray Silver, legislative representative of the ‘American Farm Bureau Federation. It has been commonly believed and asserted by many, that the farmers, living inland and having no touch with ocean shipping, are opposed to any ent aid to the establishment and main- tenance of merchant ships. In fact, it has been supposed by many that the farmers are not in- terested in the subject. Mr. Silver, who has been abroad studying problems confronting the farm- ers, says: “The American farmers strongly favor an adequate American merchant marine for reasons common to all classes, and for reasons peculiar to their business. We are obviously interested in good highways, good and efficient railways, in coastwise and internal waterways, in deep sea shipping, and in every means of reaching our markets economically and quickly. We do not wish to be at the tender mercies of foreign ship- ping interests in times of emergency; we want a measure of oceanic shipping that will be active in earrying ‘surplus agricultural commodities to the indispensible foreign markets, and also in finding and extending markets. As to the means by which we are to*build and maintain a 's merchant marine, such as we need, t cannot assume to speak for the farmers of the ‘United States. The American Farm Bureau Federation to take a referendum of its membership on that question.” The Coolidge administration is desirous of ter- minating government operation of ships, but not until there can be assurance that the ships will not pass into the control of our commercial rivals. Indicts a Whole People Just as Mr. Wilson’s physical health seemed nently. to fail him on the eve of defeat for personal program of world reformation, so his conception of events seems to have ceased at about the same time. In his radio address and in his remarks to the gathering on Armistice , there was not a word of commendation of what had been done during the four years of his ilIness to bring about a better understanding among nations. During all of that period he ap- pears to have been absorbed with introspection —with a morose contemplation of his own blighted ambitions. In no other way can one ac- count for Mr. Wilson’s malevolent and vindic- tive arraignment of an entire nation, and that nation his own. Seldom has a heart revealed a rancor and a more complete absence of and kindly impulse than the former crowding into his few deeper charity president succeeded in sentences. In his famous speech on the conciliation of America, Edmund Burke declared, “I do not know the method of drawing up an indictment of a whole people.” But Mr. Wilson has succeed- ed where Burke failed. His indictment was not directed at his successors in the White House, at the senate which voted down his league, or at the Republican party. Throughout his remarks it was apparent that the American people were in his mind and that they have been responsible for withdrawing “into a sullen and selfish iso- lation which is deeply ignoble because mani- festly cowardly and dishonorable.” No foreign: | to resisting Almighty and his principles. family, consisting of the wife, Dorothy, aged 15, May, aged 3, and baby boy, 3 months old, was it street terminal of the Colo- ‘Wyoming and Eastern, and remains are now at Stryker's awaiting arrangements for the fu- He has a sister living at Og- and another sister at N.

Prohibition in Canada Nearly eight years ago Canada began its ex- perience with prohibition; and after unsatis- factory results amended its war time act to per- mit the optional control by the provinces, This method has evidently proved much more satis» factory than the effort to enforce a general pro hibition that the provinces have gradually been voting themselves out of a dry regime into forms of government control. In a referendum lately taken the important and large province of Alberta followed the example of Quebec, Brit-| folks whose clothes are funny—|the breast of ish Columbia and Manitoba and voted by a ma- jority of some 30,000 in a total rote of 150,000 for a plan of government control patterned after the Quebec plan. Thus of the nine Canadian Privinces four have given up the effort to make prohfbition practicable and these four cover more than half the area of the Dominion and Include about one half of the population. The only other large and populous provinces left in the dry column are Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Ontario, and it is expected that the last will soon follow the example of the four that have discarded prohibi tion as ineffective and. impracticable. As it is now, the only dry territory adjoining our north- ern border are the provinces of Ontario and Sas- katchewan and in these provinces prohibition is notoriously ineffective. This Canadian “fall from grace” may not make much difference with the effort to enforce a general prohibition in the United States but presumably it will not help any. If theoretically dry provinces were ac- tually dry, their repeal of prohibition would nat- urally increase the difficulties on this side of bss ag as it is, the difficulties will not be any less. The fact that as a result of popular choice af- ter a longer trial with prohibition than we have had other provinces are following the example of Quebec plainly indicates that the Canadians have come to the conclusion that a government |’ regulation of an inevitable traffic is far more satisfactory from all points of view than prohi- bition. It also indicates tha. the cause of prohi- bition, which sought its opportunities durmg direct |the war period, is not gaining ground but is losing. Instead of conquering the world by the example of its alleged salutary effects, it is falling back because of its unsalutary effects, As is often the case, an alluring theory fails in actual experience. All that it needs to make a sumptuary law a success is enforcement, but it is just the increasing lack of this that makes it a failure, Coolidge Versus McAdoo “A Washington correspondent punctures the bubbles of pretense regarding the possibility of McAdoo’s candidacy for the Democratic nomi- nation for the presidency next year,” says the Boston Transcript, “and lays bare the elabo- rate machinery now assembling for the launch- ing of the son-in-law of the Democratic ex-pres!- dent as the heir apparent to his policies in the 1924 contest. Present prospects indicate the/|- nomination of Mr. McAdoo; they point therefore to Coolidge versus McAdoo as the line-up next year. “The nomination of the president on one of the early ballots of the convention seems to be taken generally for granted in all parts of the country; there will be other candidates—pre sumably Hiram Johnson and Gifford Pinchot, and certainly Robert M. LaFollette. Doubtless the leader of the Johnson forces will in ample time move to make the nomination of Mr. Cool- idge unanimous. Probably the leader of the Pinchot bloc will second that motion. It is hard to imagine the LaFollette followers departing from their quadrennial custom of voting for “Battling Bob” from first to last. The Repub- licans will adopt a platform of principles punc tuated with policies; the Democrats will adopt a platform of policies punctuated with prin- ciples, 4 “With Coolidge and McAdoo as the opposing candidates we look to see the campaign in its final stage become a contest of character, char- acter in the broad sense of the word—a contest where the average voters will be called upon to choose between the character of Calvin Coolidge and the character of William G. McAdoo. And for the world the result will provide a baro- meter of the character of the American people in the year 1924.” {The ‘American Hearthstone The destiny, the greatness of America les around the hearthstone.

Ewery day I see some people tall and skinny like a steeple, and I see a lot of others short and fat; I see lots of homely faces on t treets t and other places, and I wonder how it feels te look like that. There are such a shameful waste of money; some wear clothes that hit you right square in the eye. And sometimes I see o bonnet with the queerest trimmings on it, or a hat that makes the automobiles shy. There are boots and shoes and sandals— every kind the shoe store handles— some wear silk or cotton hose of lurid hue. I see ties so soft and mellow walk with ties of screaming yellow, or a flaming, burning red where I'd have blue, But elthough I grow no blinder my impressions are much kinder than they were when I was young and knew it all, for it’s often that you'll find a true heart or brilliant mind back of clothes or features that would start a brawl Any clergyman may wear clothes that make the strangers swear, from hig dress and features, that he's just a crook; aa it’s well to be discreet when you meet folks on the street, for you can't tell what they are by how they look. ‘The real trouble with out country is not so much taxes as taxis, Av.
