why should they not be? The President
saws that the condition OF the mer-
chant marine IS such as to call for
immediate remedial action by Con-
gress." and the action referred to is
nothing more nor less than the en-
actment of the ship subsidy bill which
Hanna and Frye and the rest of the
subsidy beggars are working for.
The Times goes on to point out
that the President Is grossly misin-
formed" respecting the comparative
cost of building American and Euro
pean ships. 1t says: "A modern ship.
even a modern deep-water sailing
ship, Is essentially manufacture OF
steel. II it be OF wood, or 80 far as It
Is of wood. we are certainly not on
that account at disadvantage COM
pared with european builders. Now,
IL Is a matter OF common notoriety,
and in Europe OF great concern. that
American manu- actures of steel can be
turned out cheaper than those OF any
other country. We are not only not
importing. but we are largely export
ing such refined and complicated
manufactures of steel as bridges and
locomotives, in competition with all
the world. What Is there about ship
building that should make IT an ex-
cep.on to the ruler"
1t Is not to be thought for a mo-
ment LAT 1ne President would make
statement which he did not believe
to oe true, but what excuse can be
given Cor misinformation on a sub
ject like TINS! The facts to which
The Times refers are OF common
knowledge and no man whose business
it is to deal with public questions
should plead ignorance of them.

About the lives of the two there was
considerable mystery. Maurice, the
elder, Ii thought to have been a ST.
fenced priest, through trouble which
he had with his superior of the

that during the time he had lived In
the house he had never known the ci-

Edward was grinder of cutlery
and went to his work every day. The

Talon. who lives on the second floor.
On the floor above. in one sparsely
furnished room. the brothers lived.
They came to the house eight months
ago and hired the room from Talon.
The landlord found out nothing
about them, for they told him nothing,
keeping their past TO themselves and
not interfering with any OF their
neighbors. They desired to be let
alone, and their wishes were respect
