The difference of a bell or two is the difference be- tween the Alameda properly tied to Colman dock and the Ala-| meda smashing into Colman dock and sinking a sister ship. Why Not Finish the Job? During the inve committee the cause of the great Titanic disaster, Newlands said: The Titanic was a British ship and therefore subject to the laws of England. If it is shown that the tragedy was attended by crim- inal negligence, I believe that the British authorities will prosecute the guilty party. We caused this inquiry to be made to pave the way for legislation and prevent a recurrence of such a disaster Now Senator, when you have paved the way for this legi Jation—GREASE IT! Then slide a few the MONEY Hé MGs that control the government of these 48 Uni States up and down it until you rub a few sore spots on f d then tell them that the peor of this country want e American ships—not alone British ships, and French ships, and other kind of ships—to conduct our American commerce. The n it will not be necessary in time of stress, for this acknowledge the humiliating disgrace that it is depend upon the government of the British Isles, foreign government, to protect its citizens in xt, tub the nose of the STEEL TRUST on this paved way, and tell Uncle Sam that the people of this country want the law to allow any foreign built vessel paid for by Aneciees capital, no matter whether built in the Canary Islands or the Soudan, to fly the American Flag and be governed by Ameri can laws. That would put a crimp in the high price holdup game the STEEL TRUST works on the American shipbuilder Then, Senator, if you will have congress enact a few ls providing for the safety of the human beings who pay large, round American dollars for the privilege of risking their lives on these boats, You will have done something! Senat that ws Taft doesn’t hesitate to charge Roosevelt with “audacious effrontery.” Roosevelt says Taft is a “pedant” and other things. Both may be right. In the meantime Bob La Follette— New York city is to have a theatre for children. The idea undoubtedly grows out of the tremendous patronage of the moving picture shows, and will »s lead to the open ing of these cheap show places for the especial entertainment of children in every city Every parent knows that the best means for entertain- ing and instructing little ones is the picture. You can say “c-a-t, cat,” to a child 40 times and next day it will come back at you with “cat” spelled with a “k,” but you put that word with a picture of pussy and kiddie will get it correctly, quick fy. Same thing with matters of higher instruction—the object lesson lodges in the youthful mind for keeps. The moving picture show may be made a very beneficial adjunct to the ordinary course of instruction, indeed, and this , being so, it becomes society to especially concern itself with "the character of these shows. And other evolution is bound to come at these shows. 'T’ hel day is coming when a fellow will be able to take his child in one hand and 15 cents in the other and attend the whole circus at the picture theatre—animals, ring, clown, elephant, peanut jackasses you can't ride, and all—without undergoing the goxious odors and obnoxious battle for life one has to undergo & the big tent. Any show that is instruetive and clean is a good thing @r children. Even matured folk learn most, not through what @ey hear, but through what they see If you want the humorously unkind truth about yourselves, you can get it at the Moore theatre this week.. “The Faun’'s” Satirical shafts are not meant for the British aristocracy alone.
