no RESTORE OUR SHIPPING.

IL hEOl OAI O0h 0illl 4 ANhs
An effort is being made in the United
States Senate to popularize a bill cal
culated to restore the great shipping
interests we once possessed. Senator
Elkins, the father of the measure,
seems to have hit upon the true solu-
tion Of this weighty and neglected prob
lem. The bill proposes that the govern
ment levy discriminating duties Of 10
per cent in favor of foreign goods inn
ported into this country in American
vessels. II was introduced in the Sen
ate during the regular session, and re-
introduced in the extra session of that
body for n review of the conditions
which demand its adoption as a part
of our national policy.
Every maritime nation with any sea
power worth having has at one time
or another made some similar dis
ordinations in favor OF her own ships
as against those of other countries
Great Britain built up her colossal
shipping interest upon a system Of
determinations, bounties and pre-
miums which virtually excluded for
eign vessels from her carrying trade,
and her policy in that direction laid
the basis Of her commercial greatness.
This is precisely the idea embodied
in the Elkins bill. The measure pro-
poses to encourage American ship
building. IL aspires to this by requiring
imports brought to this country in for
eign vessels to pay 10 per cent. moro
duty than those brought here in Ameri-
can ships. There can be no Industrial
independence without commercial in
dependence; there can be no CONNER
cial independence for us without an
American merchant marine great
enough to carry our products and pur-
ehases to and from the markets of the
world.
Few people realize the fact that for
eign vessel owners are drawing $780,
100000 a year from the American peo-
pie FOR carrying the imports and ex.
ports of this country. Our vast ocean
commerce is practically monopollzeC
ny lhAtlbhtlNi anu Aib tblbnodl lluNl
of its freightage is the price which
this country pays for the stupid folly
which dominates our maritime policy
To reverse this astonishing condition
and restore our shipping to its proper
place as a great national interest, is q
duty of paramount importance.
Great Britain has steadily kept in
mind Raleigh's famous saying thai
"whosoever commands the sea com
mands the trade; whosoever command!
the trade of the world commands th'
riches of the world, and, consequently
the world itself" In our own countr!
the First Congress encouraged ship
ping by recognizing that the duties OF
goods imported in American vessels
ough to be lighter than those imported
in foreign vessels. 1t borrowed thi
policy from England's own navigation
laws, not repealed until more than hal
a century later and the principle thu
involved, it has been remarked, wa
distinctly proclaimed in the first lay
of the new government" Up to tn
foundation of our government the for
eign shipping trade was mostly in tn
hands of the British, while from 1894 I
1928, when discriminating duties wer
finally abolished, nearly nine-tenths c
1t, on an average, was in our hands, an
now, seventy years later, we hold onl
IL per cent.

Wash Your Eyeglasses,

Spectacles and eyeglasses are az
much benefited by bath now and then
as people are" remarked a we'll known
optlclan. ut is strange how many peo-
pie there are who think that their
glasses only need an occasional wiping.
Now the fact is glasses require actual
Baths as frequently as does the ordinary
person. The process is as simple as
you want to make it. My plan, how
ever, is 10 take the glasses to a bowl.
and give them a good soaking in warm
water. Then apply soap freely and rub
it off by the use of soft tooth or nail
brush. After that give them polish
with any of the usual tooth powders.
and then clean them with tissue paper.
which is much better for the purpose
than chamois skin or anything else
that l know of.
THE ordinary cleansing is all right
as far as it goes, but it is not sufficient,
Many person has done great injury to

his glasses. l have had number If
patients come to me with complaints
about what they called gradual diminu-
tion Of their sight. An examination re-
vealed the fact that it was wonderful
that they could see at all, for their
glasses were gummed over and had
been fearfully neglected. A little soap
and water, to which a few drops of
ammonia was added. did the business.

and paradlng cf,military bodies and Is
scciations, except those which are auth
orized by the militia laws of the United
States"
In the case Of the United States vs.
Cruikshank the. same court declared
that the second amendment means no
more than that the right to bear arms
shall not he infringed by congress and
has no other effect than to restrict the
power of the national government"
And again it said: "Sovereigntv, for
the protection OF the rights Of life and
personal liberty within the respective
states. rests alone with the states"
According to these decisions by the
highest tribunal in the land it apDea7s
that state legislatures can frame OBJ
noXicus laws so long as they are not
IN conflict with the constitution of the
United States. What Independent mill
tary organizations should do is to use
all the influence in their power on the
state soions in tho next legislature to
repeal the law at once They should
carry the matter into the campaign md
drive from public life the authors of the
un-Amcrican bill, the senators and rep-
resentltivcs who knowingly supported
its passage. and the governor who by
his signature made it become a law of
the state.
In Minnesota it appears that the ,b-
zee! n&be section passed the house and
senate in surrepttious manner as no
member of either house when interro-
gated admits that he knew anything
about it, Such q law is certainly in
opposition TO the spirit. if net to the
letter. Of the constitution, and should
be erased from the statute books at The
first opportunity. 1t is not every man
who can enroll himself in the national
guard of tho state. In Minnesota, for
! instance, the state militia consists Of
only three regiments of infantry and
one battalion Of artillery In Mime
aEolis there are only three companies,
each company consisting of not more
than sixty privates. Many young men
would like to join the state militia but
cannot afford the time of attending drill
and of going into camp. This law pro-
hibits them from organizing indepen-
; dent companies. Suppose the State of
Minnesota was threatened by foreign
invasion, the citizens could not drill in
body nor carry arms before being
mustered Or they would be liable to ar
rest and fine. We therefore believe The
law to be aimed at the yeomanry of the
land, that it is class legislation, and
that it should Ee repealed at the next
session Of the Legislature.
