Ex Gov. William j. Stone of Mis-
souri.-All this talk about suppress
ing vice is absolutely the merest drlvel.
You can't suppress vice in q great city.
You can't stop gambling in town
like New York or Chicago or any other
great centcrs of the country. just so
long as men and women live and suf-
fer and die, just so long will there be
gambling and vice and crime of all
kinds. You may struggle as you will,
but in all great cities there will al.
ways be thugs and murderers and gar
rioters and all sorts of vice. New York
is not much worse when you remem-
Der its size than other cities the world

Pushing the Bounty Grab.
(Chicago Chronicle.

Senator Hanna and others who are
interested show by word and deed that
they propose to rush through their ship
bounty grab regardless of protests, ar
guments and facts.
A delegation from New York repre-
sentlng merchants in the foreign ship
ping trade calls OH Mr.. Hanna with
the proof that the bill would not &C
complish its avowed purpose of pro-
noting the building the building of
ships for the foreign trade in Amesi-
can yards, because the great Transport
tation companies alleady own or hold
options on enough foreign-bu ships
to absorbe practically all the bounty
which the bin proposes to vote.
A representative Of the Maine ship
builders has pointed out hat the COM
missioner of navigation stated in his
late report that he was unable to find
out how much tonnage the transpor
tatlon companies have made engage.
ments for, suggesting that the total
was enormous
The bill is so framed as to give these
companies a practical monopoly of the
bounty and to enable them to cripple
the American building of ships for the
foreign trade.
Figures also have been produced
showing that under the provisions OF
the hill every vessel of the Information
al Navigational Company will earn her
own cost in bounty three times over
during the life of the law.
But all this makes no difference with
the boun'y grabbers All this proof OF
the mighty of the scheme comes from
interested parties who would like
slice of the pork. If anyone would take
the trouble to appear for the American
public he could easily show that there
is no decent excuse for bountying any
body connected with the foreign ship
ping business. lie could show that
both the business of building ships and
he business of sailing them i'm the for
eiRn trade are making healthy growth
with such help as they now gat.
The grab, therefoce, would be who'll
lily without excuse even if it were me-
cessary to have our trade carried on
under the American flag, which it is
not. But no matter. The party of
class favoritism has won and it is 90
ing to make the most of its victory.
Now is the timefor representatives of
the taxpayers in congress to show
themse YES.
