THY OF REPETITION

After commenting on the accounts
given; Of the breaking UP Of the ice on
the gorgeous" Monongahela, the
Record cuts loose after this fashion:
y Buffalo creek has behaved beaut-
fully during the February freezing
thaw. Old landmarks that made the
nostrils Of ancient citizens shrivel
like June flowers that had been sun
struck, fioated down the stream to the
delight Of even the natives. Garbage
barrels, manure heaps, dead dogs and
deceased cats swept by, and those
who saw them sweep shouted with
Joy. Frozen heaps Of swill, old rags,
discarded corsets and out Of style
hobo raiment navlgated the turbulent
current in the direction OF the coun.
Ity seat with degrees OF speed that in.
dicated "a power from above was
watching over the healthfulness Of
Warrington. Buffalo creek, the
stream that is navigable according to
the ancient history stories told about
town, has sent seaward a fleet Of
the dumbdest stuff that any civilized
community was ever glad to say
good radiance ito. II the February
breakup would come oftener the PEG
pie of this wealthy oil burg would
experience spasms of Joy at5more FIRE

SHAW TALKS MERCHANT MARINE.
Secretary Tells MinnesotanS Why We Must
Own our own Ships.

Leslie W. Shaw, Secretary Of the Treas
ury, told the members Of the Minnesota
Society at their annual banquet in the
Waldorf Astoria last evening why It was
that he was a crank on the subject Of a
great American merchant marine. He
used the word crank" himself.
we Justly congratulate ourselves said
the secretary, that the balance Of trade
in our favor Is several fold larger than
that Of any other country. Thus far Amer
lean foreign commerce has been devJ lope
with very little effort. The world has
brought its wares to our doors and urged
them upon us and has con . and still comes
for our surplus cotton and TODD products.
But these conditions will not always
last For many years we have exported
about ten per cent. Of the gross products
OF our farms. Our population will very
soon increase relatively foster than new
lands can be brought under cultivation
or the productiveness OF the soil increased.
Under favorable conditions this will work
very greatly TO the advantage OF the arri-
population must find employment II they
are TO eat bread.
aOne Of the problems, therefore, for the
food growing belt Is 20 furnish employment.
/ neRe increasing IullllOnh must md en-
ployment in factories. And that they may
hnd employment in factories foreign mar
kets must be found.
1t Will require statesmen, foreign agents.
warehouses. And Il will require a mer-
chant marine. We will not always sell
30 per cent, OF our surplus TO Great Britain.
France and Germany, and buy only u per
c,nt. Of their surplus. II we ever get our
legitimate share OF the trade OF South
A nerioa, Ooeanica, Asia and South Africa
W. will have to go after it and 60 in Amers
can ships
These are some Of the reasons why I am
a crank, II you please, OF an enthusiast,
II you please, on building up an American
mercantile marine. am not talking poli-
tics. / am talking cold business. / don't
care how we get them-by what legitimate
legislation or what they cost us-we must
have the ships
