The Frye ship subsidy bin is designeC
to promote ship building for fcreigE
trade. Ii is expected to save for tn
American people the hundreds Of mil
Hons now paid by them each year t
foreign ship owners for carrying Ameri'
can products to foreign markets. The
purpose OF the bill is to eliminate. tc
some limited extent. the advantages
enjoyed BY foreign ships in American
trade over American ships on account
CT the lower cost Of iorelg1 ship con-
struction and sailor wages paid. yet
none OF the subsidy opposing news
papers. including the oregonian. have
so stated the objects Of the bill. In
yesterdays edition Of the Portland pap
er long article appears on the In
iqulty o. what It terms the subsidy
graft" The article starts out with a
a glowing description Of the present un-
exampled activity Of American ship
yards and declares that American ship
building and ship owning are today the
most remunerative investments in
which capital can be employed. 1t says
that in the face Of this prosperity the
appeals Of the subsidy grafters are un-
just and ridiculous. Now Just why the
oregonian, which pretends TO be pub
llshed in a seaport town. should wish
tc perpetuate its distinction as the only
paper on the Pacific coast opposing
the subsidy bill is not clear. Perhaps
it is because Portland can never hope
TO share in the direct benefits Of any
shipbuilding plants which the bin might
encourage on the Columbia river or
tlsewher on the Northwest seaboard.
But whatever the motive may be for
such peculiar policy on the part Of the
Oregcnlan. il ought in all truth and de-
cency 10 use only fair arguments
against the subsidy grant Many in
land people and newspapers oppose the
subsidy bill on the general principle in
volved in such forms Of legislation.
They do not believe in using taxes col
lected from the whole people in aid Of
any particular commercial class or sec
tion-however much such assistance
may be needed or whatever future gen.
eral benefit may be thus promised.
These people. and such few newspapers

belong to a bygOne age. The oregonian
itself so designates them in the first
editorial column on the same page Of
the same edition In which the article
denouncing the ship subsidy graft in
question is published. The oregonian.
therefore. does not oppose the subsidy
bill on account of any principle involved
but, it must be believed. on the merits
of the bill. Why. then. should the Ore
gonlan talk Of the present activity of
American shipyards as a reason why
no subsidy is needed to promote our for

rible custom OF that court'v which confines the

You don't see whv. don't you? Well. let me
show you. The first sewing machines ever In
troduced into China we're put there BY Ameri-
cans. who taught the tailors OF Shanghai and
Hong Kong to use them. From this source the
new idea spread TO other tailors in other places,
the men. the women began 10, use them. But
the women were handicapp or f~oOiicapped
] might better say, by their cripr led feet, and
they found great d~iffculty in working the pedal
machines. They saw. however. that the sewing
machine was a good thing. and they asked for
machine that worked by hand In this country
that kind OF asewing machine is hardly more
the hand machines are doing their work OF
teaching. Now, ! am predicting that in a few
years the progressive China woman will dis
cover what a wonderful thirR the sewing ma

their husbands and homes later. and she will re-

also see how much more valuable their wives
will he with feet that can run q ewing ma chine.
and the old custom will be knocked galley west
by the spirit Of utilitarinnism. The demand for

FROGS LEGS.
The Best Come From Canada and the De-
mand II Increasing Rapidly.

mand Il Increasing Rapidly.
There Is money In frog culture. What Is
more astonishing, competition in tho business
Is not great and the market supply Of frogs
legs often does not equal the demand. Jersey
furnishes a NAL part Of the supply. but over
there the industry il as a rule followed upon
desultory and primitive lines. Small boys
and men with nothing better to do hunt the
wild frog to his lair and beat the swamps. For
q short time the catch Is satisfactory, and then.
Just when the frog hunters see colossal fortunes
looming up before them, the frogs give out
and the business collapses,
They do the thing better in Canada and In
western New York. The finest frogs legs in
the market come from the Dominion. and up
there frog culture is a deeply serious and scien-
tific affair, and its profits are surprisingly large.
The Canadian frogs legs are much larger than
any others and are always in great demand
in New York; but comparatively few Of them
are TO be found in market ow, although the
season for them has been on for several months.
The Canadian frog raisers are holding back
their supply until July, when the opening OF the
summer hotels increases the demand tre-
mendously and sends the prices skyward.
The wholesale dealers charge from thirty TO
sixty cents a pound for the legs, the hindquar-
teTs OF ABOUT Tour frogs making u pound Az
the uptown retail dealers one pays from fifty
to seventy-five cents. and even n dollar; while at
times. even during the season. the legs cannot
be- procured at any price.
The demand for the delicacy has always
been fair, but il has steadily increased. and the
prejudice against frog eating that once was
strong among Americans has practically dis
appeared. save in country districts.
Our orders for frogs legs are fifty times az
numerous as they were ten years ago, said the
head waiter OF a Broadway restaurant. when
asked about the matter. You Americans
have such queer preludices about what you
eat. II Won can swallow soft shell crabs and
Holsters and cells and pate de foie gras, what's
the sense in drawing the line at frogs? You'll
get around the snails after a while, but that's
where the average American sticks fast now"
