''ars, from the Atlantic coast, all to
run to South American ports; also
for twenty-five steamers on the Pa
ciflc coast, subsidized to the extent
of 2,225, 900 dollars: some of these to
run to South America, most Of them
to Manila, Australia and Asia.
Here is subsidy amounting to
$3,725,0O0 per year. The South Am
erican and oriental subsidy is but an
entering wedge, and with that sub
sidy granted, It will be but a short
step to the larger and more general
subsidy. for which the ship subsidy
promoters have SO long contended.
From every state in the union pro-
tests against this subsidy should be
sent to members of congress. We
have an object lesson in the exorbi-
tant tariff rates provided by the
Dingley law.
'It is we'll established that Mr..
Dingley himself said that the rates
provided for in his bill were pur-
posely placed high in order that they
might be used as basis for OBJ
tanning reciprocity treaties with other
countries. So far IA concerns the
we'll meaning men who are do with
the Dingley tariff law, there was no
the high tariff rates concerning
which Republican leaders now say
we must stand pat. But once hav-
ing enjoyed, these exorbitant rates,
the subsidy grabbers refused to sur
render them. Habitually these men
have taken advantage of one favor to
secure another and given the subsidy
which Mr.. Roosevelt in his message
formally endorses, they will not rest
until they have made that subsidy
general for sea-going vessels con-
trolled by powerful men.
at is strange that Mr.. Roosevelt
with all his progress along Demo-
cratic lines, should retrace his steps
and advocate a plan. which, if adopt
ed would make it all tn more diff
cult for the people in their struggle
with organized wealth.
"It is not so difficult to under
stand why the subsidy grabbers
move for these privileges at this
time. Schemes like these are usual
| ly pushed forward at the short ses-
sion, and the very fact that at this
moment there is a strong popular
protest against special privileges.
encourages the promoters to hope
tha tthe very brazenness OF their de-
mand will give 1t character: they
hope that the people will conclude
that this subsidy must be a righteous

The regularity with which deprc-
dations are being committed in local
Italian settlements is becoming the
subject Of much comment. Only last
week an Italian was acquitted BY
the courts of q murder charge. Not
a week elapsed before another Ital-
ian was stabbed and probably fatal
ly wounded. The murderer Of Louis
Gioffritta is still at large and the
assailant of Anthony Prioile has
not been aprrehended. There is no
question but that rather a weak ef.
fort is put forth by the officers to
capture an assailant of an Italian,
not the vigilance exercised that
there would be were it an American
who was the victim. Americans APP
parently have little interest in the
Italian.
The example which is being set
to vindictive and vicious Americans
by the Italians ard S1cilians, or
whatever they may be, should be
considered in this matter Of ferret.
ing out criminals. If the foreigner
is to be given free rein, the criml-
nals Of this country will become
more bold; they will argue that if
foreigner can commit a crime and
escape, he can do the same.
The officers are given n hard nut
to crack when a cy;me is committed
by an Italian, and for this reason
they should use their best efforts.

GOOD MANNERS.

We are apt to think that :tf there
is any place where good manners
are of little consequence, it is in the
every day life OF business, where
cold calculation so largely takes the
pace OF feeling.
But the truth is that nowhere
are manners Of so much importance
as in every day feeling.
There Is no capital and equipment
any young person can have in bus
mess that will pay him a better
dividend than good manners. There
is no possible calling for which this
does not better suit him.
If he has brains the world owes
HIN something but unless lie has
good manners he will have llaro
time collecting it.
Don't make the error of suppos-
ing that brains orc cvrything. You
may have the bcst set Of brains in
town, but if you haven't also the
manners of y gentleman nobody is
gong to appreciate YOU.

They don't sound his brain depth
they don't obtain his biography
they don't inquire into his social
standing; they size him up from
his manners and if he is cheap
gilt cn the surface they don't look
for gold beneath
The employer knows that if nm
applicant s manner strikes him fav-
orably it will also strike people with
whom he comes ia contact in his
work. And nobody knows better
than a big business man that fav.
orable FIRST appearance means half
the sale.
