CANTBUILDSHIPS
NAVY DEPARTMENT CONSID-
ERING LAKE RESTRICTIONS.
THE TREATY OF 1917 TO BLAME.
1t Allows But Four Armed Vessels,
With No Priv vilePes Of Con-
Western Builders
Iiscriminated Against

WASHINGTON, Sep. "a The immense
progress in shipbuilding industries on
the great lakes has brought anew to the
attention of the State Department a
question of diplomacy that affects the
industrial progress of this country and
our relations with Great Britain.
The Navy Department is restricted in
the places for building new vessels al
most entirely to the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts.
The restriction comes from the treaty
of 1917, which provides that the United
States and Great Britain shall have but
four armed vessels on the great lakes,
and this is construed to mean that nei-
ther country shall construct other YES
sells GA the northern frontier, though the
new vessels may be intended for use in
other territory.
it was this restriction that caused
Secretary Tracy recently TO reject the
lowest bidder for building the Naval
Academy practice vessel The shipyards
of the bidders, L. ". Wheeler a Co., are
at Bay City, Mich. Circumstances have
changed greatly in the great lakes since
the treaty of 1917 went into effect
Immense progress has been made in
developing the resources of the lake
country and in the building up of its
mechanical industries. There is scarcely
a city on the lakes where shipbuilding is
not carried on successfully.
Besides this the great cities of the
lakes desire to have their place in the
proposed naval militia Each city wishes
to have its own naval reserves, and to
have them trained in the use Of the best
guns and in modern naval tactics. But
from any effort in this direction they are
debarred by the treaty Of 1917.
BY the terms of the treaty either party
to the agreement may withdraw from its
provisions by giving six months notice to
the other.

Another Industrial Chance.

The HERALD has possession Of letter

Midnight Horrors.

A we'll known citizen of our town re-
turned home from church on Sunday
night and hearing some commotion ny
stairs ran up to see what was the matter
l nagine his feelings when he saw a base
intruder making an attack on one of his
children. The justly infuriatod father
struck at him right and LEFT, beating him
from one corner of the room to the other
and fnslly-killed him, Just then a con
federste slipped in unobserved from an ad-
joining room and assaulted our neiRhbor,
but the latter hurled deadly blow at his
assaiant and he dropped dead on the spot
The end was not yet, Our victorious
friend was not permitted to rest for still an
sggressor sneaked from his hiding place
beneath the bed and poun,ed on the wife.
Another furious battle was fought and
more blood was spilled. No arrests have
been made, as only the mosquitoes suffered

THE AFTERMATH.

After calm aud deliberate review
of all the circumstances attending the
just finished fight over the presidency
of the league of Republican clubs no
Republican can, by any construction,
Justify himself in an attempt to defeat
the Republican state ticket.
Robinson was vice president of
the league and, naturally, he aspired
to the presidency. His able service as
vice president, his success in securing
election, first to the State Senate and
then to Congress, and the fact of his
being SO popular with the people of
his county that he has had them with
him every time he has been candi-
date, made him an exceptionally
strong man for the position.
Dalzell, the Congressman from Pitts
burg, has also been a successful
politician, is intelligent and able, and
hau perfect right to be a candidate
for the presidency.
Here, then, the matter should have
resolved itself into contest for the
presidency Of the league and should
have been conducted as such. But
N he MUgwump papers would not allow
this. They made q State, and even a
National political fight. They set at
work from the start to abuse, slander
and threaten all who failed to declare
Cor Dalzell. They arraigned innocent
partiesl when they, themselves were
really the guilty ones. Robinson
was charged with organizing mush-
room clubs, but when he insisted that
all such clubs be excluded the Dalzell
people were the first to jump to their
feet and enter bitter protest. AS the
fight grew warmer Robinson, realizing
that perhaps some INSCRIPTIONS peO-
pie might use it as an excuse for stab
bing the candidates on the State ticket
in the back, offered to Withdraw from
the contest, providing Dalzell would
do the same. The offer was made in
the interest of peace and harmony.
But the little Congressman from the
West refused to meet Robinson on the
Hroposition and his friends, constituting

A Distressing Case.

stepped forward to greet him. She was q
victim of heart disease Mr. Maxwell was
visitor to town last evening. He ha
many friends here who sympathize with
him in his ailliction.

CAPT. JOHN W. MORRISON.
Republican Candidate for State
Treasurer.

Everybody knows that this is one of
Colonel Alexander Ku Klux McClure's
Democratic years. 1t has puzzled even
this political gymnast, however, to find
plausible argument to advance against
the Republican state ticket. He does
not attempt to criticize General Gregg.
What annoys him, too, is the fact that
he has already gone on record in com
mending Captain Morrison.
Upon the organization of the last
house Colonel Mcclure wrote:
1.-The selection Of John w. Morrison
as chief clerk was foregOne conclusion,
and better selection could not have
been made. He is capable and honest,
and has had sufficient experience to
qualify him in an unusual degree for
the place. If the minor positions are
as well filled as that of chief clerk the
Pennsylvania house of representatives
will be exceptionally well officered."
