AID THIS WORK.

The bureau of health should have
the support of every good citizen and
house owner in its efforts to secure
proper drainage and sanitary plumb.
ing for the buildings Of the city. De.
fects In these things are responsible
for much sickness, and IL they are re-.
modelled there will be considerable
improvement in the general health OF
the city.
1t is poor economy which results
in defective drainage, for II the owner
of the house thus handicapped dwells
in It himself he is liable to have to
pay sick and funeral expenses to an
amount many times what II would
have cost to have installed proper
plumbing. II the house that is un'
provided with proper drainage is let
to tenants, the latter II OF a good
class, will refuse to remain In II, and
II soon sinks In rental value. There
are many landlords who are unfortun.
ately blind TO this fact, and It is this
class that the officials of the bureau OF
health will have to make see the error
of their ways.
The law on the subject Is clear and
there should be no hesitation in CON.
pelllng its enforcement wherever
there is need OF such action. The
officials of the board OF health should
be welcomed and not hindered in
their efforts TO this end, which II
crowned with success cannot but re.
suit in a vast benefit to the people of
the city generally.

A very popular excursion train is
being run out of the cities OF East
Liverpool and wellsville since the vot-
ers have declared that they shall be
dry" for the coming two years. The
innovation is known as the booze
train" which will take the inhabi-
tants of those two places to Pitts
burg at a cheap rate weekly where
they can lay in an ample supply for
themselves and incidentally put q
bottle or two in their hip pockets for
the use of their neighbors. II is said
that PittsbuTg merchants will refund
the fare of passengers spending $40
with them. The new move is being
fought by the ex-saloonkeepers who It
Is said are doing all in their power
to assist the authorities in keeping
the town dry, hopingthere to create
a sentiment that will result in maxi
ing the town wet in two years hence
when It is expected that another
election will be held.

CHAPLAlN'S PRAYER.
Takes Occasion to Comment On Re

Austin, Tex, April 1.-Chaplain Joyce,

morning in his regular morning prayer
at the opening of the session said
Hundreds of men in the state are to-
day cursing the laws recently enacted.
Why do they not come and curse the
lawmakers? Perhaps they have whole
some fear that their teeth will be
knocked down their threats by the fists
of those stalwart lawmakers. Hundreds
Of thousands are blessing those laws;
why not bless the men that passed
them?"
The recent enactment of certain reform
legislation has caused the members of
the legislature to be the subject of con-
siderable criticism, which doubtless
prompted the remarks quoted.

Presidents Letter.

TiCSiuCIlk . ESttCIs
Washington, d. c., March 20, 1907.
My Dear Mr.. Pollard: L feel that 1t
is due not only to you but to other west
ern congressman, the congressman of the
interior who voted for the ship subsidy
bill, that 1 should express to you, not
only for you, but for all of them also, the
reasons why l think you have rendered a
great and patriotic service.
AT the outset let me emphasize the
fact that the present proposed ship sub
sidy bill has nothing whatever in COM
mon with certain previous measures of the
same name. There were well founded OBJ
jections to certain features of these pre-
vious measures; but in the present meas
ure, all the Objectionable features have
been eliminated. l should hardly favor
the present measure in any event; but
che experience of Secretary Root, on his
trip to South America and the course of
events on the Pacific seem to me to
render it of the utmost consequence to
pass the proposed bill. AS matter of
fact, my only objection to it is that it
does not so far enough. L personally, for
instance, would like to see line to South
America, from one of our gulf ports.
Men From the West.
Il feel that you men from the west who
stood by the cause of American shipping
in supporting the ship subsidy bill de-
serve the same praise that should be ac-
corded to those men of the seacoast re-
gions who voted for, and by their votes
succeeded in establishing our present sys-
tenn of national irrigation. At that time,
the argument was made to me by many
men representing the country east of the
Mississippi that it was not fair to ask
their support for a measure purely to
benefit the states of the great plains and
the Rockies. My answer to them was
that anything that benefited a part of this
country ultimately benefited all of 1t, and
that we were In honor bound to support
any such measure, even if our particular
locality was not benefited.
1.-THE same argument applies now in
reference to this shipping bill. 1t Is deep
ly discreditable to us as nation that our
shipping should be driven from the high
seas, and it has thus been driven partly
because our steamship lines are quite I'M
able to compete with foreign steamship
lines, English, Japanese and French,
wi1isn nl'e heavily Subsidized by their
governments and partly because the high
standard of wages and of living which
we exact for our seamen puts our ship
owners at a disadvantage when forced
to compete with unsubsidized ships of
foreign powers. This difference in stand
ards and the subsidization of our foreign
competitors taken together have created
an obstacle to the development of our
shipping which is unsurmountable except
by the subsidy, and this obstacle must
be cleared away as we would clear away
a bar from the mouth of a river.
81 felt that the loss of the ship sub
sidy bill at the last session of congress
was a real blow to our country and that
it was particularly to be regretted, but
it has tended to dampen some of the
enthusiasm for closer relations with this
country which Secretary Roots visit
aroused in South America"
