WAR OF THE LINERS.

There Is growing opinion in ship.
ping circles in southampton that
the transference OF the mail and
passenger steamers of the White
Star line from Liverpool to South.
amptOn will mark the beginning of
II period of the keenest competition
the shipping world has known for
many n day, in spite OF the reported
existence of IN understanding" In
the matter of transatlantic passen.
ger service.
1t Is recognized that as a wise
business concern the White Star
line has but one reason for the
move. 1t wants to secure n larger
portion of the Channel and CONT
mental passenger traffic to and from
America. That traffic is Mt present
monopolIzed by two great German
companies, and IL the White Star
people succeed in their design to
cntice ocean travellers to patronize
their boats the Germans must suf-
fer.
Hitherto the unchallenged, the
neutrality-suspicious. and North Ger
man Lloyd companies, have made
n good thing out of their connec.
lions with the Channel ports, and
1t is not likely that they will allow
any company, whether American,
English or any other, TO step In
without protest. That protest
Will manifest itself in the usual
form of relentless competition.
On top OF this the German com
panies are threatened with a chal.
lenge from the Cunard company.
This will come sooner or later, prob
ably sooner; but 1t will not come
rs altogether unexpected to Ger
man officials. Already there are
signs that the challenge will not be
met in n half hearted manner and
1t is surmised that within n very
short time four of the most enter
prising and wealthy shipping com
panics will be seen engaged in a
for supremacy in the At
lantic carrying trade, all of them
using English and French ports.

The fact that Congress has raised
4 the pay of It's members, also of
the Vice President and members

some of the disgruntled ones to

Returning from his bear hunt in
the Wilds of louisiana, President
Roosevelt in a speech delivered at
Nashville took shot or two at the
wild animals in the stock market on
Wall street. He denied that his
policies are responsible for the worry
in high finance. as his effort has
simply been to punish successful dis
honesty. All he has done was to turn
on the light. but is not responsible
for what the light showed. The
president said: 'It is impossible to
cut out cancer without making the
patient feel for few days rather
sicker than he felt before. No
material well-being can save this
nation if it loses the lift towards
higher things.'
