SAM, NOW HAVING TILUIE IN HIS POWER TAKES HER TO Humphrey and the Seamen’s Law ILL wonders never cease? Congressman Will E. Humphfey, tool of the shipowners’ trust, has written a letter to the Cen- tral Labor council of Seattle, saying he’s in favor of “certain parts” of the La Follette Seamen’s law. “Certain parts,” mind you. He says he’s in favor of every provision that helps the sailor and in- creases safety of passengers, but he’s against the other portions of the bill. Humphrey doesn’t say what these other portions are to which he objects. But he objects to 'em so strongly that he speaks against the whole law on every occasion. He evidently objects, but doesn’t say so, to the provision which requires three-fourths of the crew of a ship to understand the same language as the officers use. The Pacific Mail steamers and the Minne- sota, plying out of Seattle, had Chinese crews, tho the ships carried the American flag. The La Follette law would change this. And Humphrey objects. “I do not believe that vessels under the American flag,” he says in a letter to the labor council, “should be manned by foreign officers when there are more competent American officers out of em- ployment and ready and willing to take these places.” Humphrey refuses to be logical. He pleads for Chinese crews under the American flag, but his patriotism is shocked if foreign officers sail vessels of American registry. And here is something Humhprey ignores entirely. He talks about the La Follette law causing American ships to disappear from the Pacific ocean. But how about the Atlantic? The Seamen's law isn’t driving any American ships off the Atlantic. Why, Mr. Humphrey? You don’t dare to answer, tho you know the reason, and the reason is simply that on the Atlantic they employ white crews—American crews—and not Chinese coolies, as they have been doing on the Pacific. The La Follette Seamen's law may kill off Chinese-manned ships of American registry, but it will not put any real American-manned ship out of commission. eo * * s . . Baiting the Jap Trap oJ APAN has often assured China that she has no intention of annexing the South Pacific Islands. Com- menting on the visit of 20 chieftains from the South Pacific Archipelago to Japan, the Peking Gazette says: { “This score of simple minded islanders will be personally conducted and efficiently feasted; and it will certainly not be in the least surprising if the results of all this were a demonstration of ‘sincerity, frankness and friendship’ on the part of these South Sea Crusoes and Fridays, expressed in the shape of a petition begging the mikado to be graciously pleased to make their coral isles part of this empire.” Which is the Chinese way of remarking that, while the rat trap doesn’t run after the mice, it gathers them in just the same. * * * * - Even the Preachers in It S’% BERNARDINO, Cal., elected a preacher as mayor, a while ago. Now it is trying to recall him for “incompetency,” one of the principal charges named in the petition being, “That he has shown fav- oritism by advocating regulations which will practically abolish the jitneys.” Brother Wixom girds up his loins and quotes from the scriptures: “Fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be afraid of their rebellings.” But, drat it all! There were no jitneys, and this recall business hadn't been started in Isaiah's time, Parson. iy * * * * + * I. A.
