PRoPHEsIEs IMPROVEMENT.
r.. y. Schwerin Expresses Confidence
in American StatesmanshiD.

A strong advocate of subsidy-pro-
gressive, not digressive-was found in
r. p. Schwerin, president of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, who was
first called yesterday morning to pre-
sent his views to the commission
Schwerin began his address by stating
frankly that he had no philanthropic
ideas about the transportation business
He believed, he said, in running a
steamship line to make all the money
possible out of it for the stockholders.
Referring to the rapid rise of the Uni
ted States navy, he said he believed
that the same wise craftsmanship ap-
piled to the merchant marine would
lift it from its present deplorable con-
dition to one Of prosperity. Continuing
he said in part:
1.-The fundamental principle in the
transportation business is economy of
operation. Protection has raised the
American laborer to practically a mid
die class position. and it is we'll, gener-
ally speaking. that this is so. but it
places such men beyond consideration
for positions as sailors, as their de-

Without making any formal an
nouncement, the State and Navy de-
partments encourage the suggestion
that the European squadron will be
ordered to Turkish waters soon unless
a satisfactory settlement be made.
Gable orders were to-day sent 10 Rear
Admiral Jewell. commanding the Euro

At the same time Secretary Hay in
structed Leishman TO .redOuble his rep

Leishman, on last Friday. had sue
ceeded in obtaining an audience with
the Sultan. He had sought this inter
view for two years. during which
period many new questions had arisen.
He asked the Sultan that American
physicians. dentists and other profess
sional men be given the same privilege
in the Ottoman empire as professional
men from Europe and that the di
plomas Of American professional
| schools be accepted on the same basis
as those from European countries. In
addition to this, he made plain the
| earnest desire Of the United States for
greater protection and liberties for
American religious and educational in
stitutiOns in Turkey. Lastly. he sug
gested the elevation of diplomatic re-
/ latiCns between the United States and
| Turkey by the establishment Of en-
| bassies in Washington and COnstanti-
nople. This would increase Leish-
mans prestige in COnstantinople and

mands are such that they cannot be
met with profit by the steamship COM
panies.
Free educational facilities. while a
great benefit TO American boys, do not
fit them for life on the sea. Educated
men are needed to direct the work, but
not to perform it, and it is this condi-
tion that results in foreigners filing
the positions on shipboard that many
believe should be held in reserve for
Americans.
Regarding these good American
crews of which you hear politicians
say so much, l have something to say:
On one of our vessels, out Of a crew of
fifty-one men, there were but two men
that could splice or knot a rope, and
these We're not Americans. The per-
centage of Americans that sail before
the mast is deplorably small. realize
that something must be done for the
American boy, but this cannot be done
on the big liners. Our captains have
tried in every way to aid young Ameri-
cans that went to sea on our ships, but
their efforts usually resulted in failure.
They are hard to discipline, and in
clerical capacities they proved mac
curate
Opportunities should be given for the
American boy to go to sea, but first he
should be given independent training
on a ship devoted to that purpose The
youth must have a square-rigged ship
on which to learn the art of navigation.
This plan is now being successfully
carried out by the Hamburg American
Line, under subsidy of the German
Government.
I'VE have the nucleus for a training
fleet in the ship ST. Mary of New
York Every large coast city should
have one of these training vessels, the
course of study thereon being fixed at
three years. If the Government in
sists on training lads on mail ships II
is going to defeat its own purpose. II
would be better to reduce any pur-
posed subsidy and turn the difference
into the support of such nautical in
stitutions.
There are thousands of American
young men that would be as glad tc
go to sea as 1 was when a boy.
told my father that / would either &c
to sea or run away from home and
enter the navy. He could take his
choice. He saw that went to sea.
"Reverting to the question of SUBJ
sidy, l do not believe that Congress
should frame an assistance bill that
| would tend in any way to encourage
The San Francisco call., 1904-08-06

the building of ships for speculation.
This would defeat the very end Ct
such measure. What we want mot
is tramp ships and under the
they should be given opportuniIJ to
take labor wherever it is the cheapes-.
Get the ships first. no matter who
mans them, and eventually opportuni-
ties will grow until enough American
boys will enter the cervice to man all
the vessels flying the American flag.
Il have thought of many ways by
which the Government might assist
the American marine, but all Of them
are surrounded by difficulties that are
hard to evade. believe, however, that
the Government should lend its aid pri
marily to direct mail routes, the ships
Of which are so constructed that they
would be of immediate use to the
Government in time Of need. This
would not only aid the American mer-
chant marine, but would be a profit
able investment for the Government"
In this connection Schwerin referred
to those subsidized ships flying the
Japanese flag that have been taken
over by the Nippon Government and
are now operating before the besieged
ports of Manchuria. Continuing, he
said:
"As to the tramp ships the bill
should be so framed that they will be
assisted when they carry cargoes from
ports at which none of the regular
mail liners touch. One class of ships
should not be brought into competi-
ton with the other. Such u condition
would send the tramp ship where it is
wanted most. They would then seek
ports that could not be served by the
regular line. However, l do not be-
lieve that this committee nor any Con-
gressional committee can frame a bill
| that will do away with the existing
evil. 1t must be a mixed committee,
composed of members of both houses
of Congress, and naval and CONNER
cial men,
| Schwerin here referred to the diff
| ficulties that confronted him in his
efforts to have the steamships Siberia
and Korea so constructed that they
would be readily convertible into
cruisers and thereby come under a
proposed subsidy measure. The diff
culties were such, however, that he
said he was finally compelled to tell
the officials to Go to hi" and con-
struct the vessels as he saw fit. In
this connection Schwerin gave another

very unprepossessing in appearance,
did not quail when face to face with
the shouting crowd

him, he said. Il am not afraid to die
and / am satisfied now that l killed
him.
Osborne was killed by Watson out
of revenge for the latter's discharge as
valet on July Is. Osborne's family was
away. but Osborne slept at home each
night. Watson says that he got into
the house last night after Osborne re-
tired and went to sleep in the basement.
This morning Watson went upstairs.
when he heard Osborne stirring about
and met him at the bathroom door fir
ing one shot. Osborne ran into his
bedroom and the negro followed and
fired two more shots, both taking ef-
feet.
The shots were heard by persons on
the street. who summoned the police
Osborne was conscious when found and
told the officers that he had been shot
by the negro. He died upon reaching
a hospital.

There is no rust in Bossie's milk
Neither is there smut. Drouth will
not totally impair her usefulness. neither
will hail destroy her income. Extreme
moisture has no bad effect upon her and
she isn't afraid of frost Altogether
farmers throughout the state who are
milking cows and selling the product to
the creameries are not worrying about
the bad crop conditions. Bessie keeps
right on doing business at the old stand,
the creamery check shows up each
month and everything is lovely for the
farmer who has seen the wisdom of not
depending altogether upon tickle nature
for living. While no material damage
has resulted to the grain crops from rust
in this part of the state, the reports from
many sections farther east should be a
warning to the farmer in this section OF
the country against exclusive grain
growing as means of support. There
probably is not farmer living tribu-
tary to Minot who will not be able this
fall to buy cows, and get in shape to be-
come patron Of the Minot creamery
and thereby become insured against
possible crop failures. Bessie is win
ner, no matter what the condition of the
weather. All honor to her!

This is the time of the year when
many school boards will be throwing out
text books which have been in use. The
members of the school board should
thoroughly acquaint themselves with
the books they are putting out OF use
and with those which they are installing
before change is made. Every book
company states that the books
which it puts out are the very best.
This is natural. It means business for
the company. If those companies can
effect a change of books every four or
five years it means business for all con-
cerned The members of the school dis
trict pay for the books in the end. 1t
will not do any harm to use little care
along this line.

The man who handles the local de-
partment of newspaper learns after
due experience not to expect very many
thanks for column of pleasant things,
but he knows as surely as come the
seasons that a single line in which there
is unintentional mistakes will cause
someone to be heard. Also that when
he has made pleasant mention 999 times
of some person, place or thing, but on
the thousandth times fail to do so, he
must not expect to be forgiven. The
commission may have been from accident
inadvertance or even an entire lack OF
knowledge-itm matter not. The simple
fact remains that he will be judged or
that. He may say good things about
some business man for weeks. but let
him make some mistake and the good
things are forgotten and that mans
business is denied him.-Kindred Trib.

near, ''that you don't tell the public
what you have done. You lay an egg
