A DISAPPOINTING
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
It is Not What Was Originally Want
ed and Open to the Objections of
Those Who Opposed Any.

Washington. Jan. 16, Especial Cores
trembles to think what Will happen TO
Speaker Cannon for his change of front
on the question of ship subsidy For
several years his strong hand has held
up the shipping bill and it's opponents
sounded his praises to the skies. This
rock shall fly from its firm base as
soon as L. or words to that effect
Then at the psychological moment
'prestO-change" and out pops a new
bill from the house committee and the
same night Speaker Cannon addresses
the foreign commerce convention and
says the time has come to try the ex-
pertinent of rebuilding our merchant
marine by means of subsidies, Now
what are those who have been insisting
that the speaker would never let a
subsidy bill go through going to say
and do about it
Those who were in touch with the
situation have all along expected the
committee would report a bill and have
been jcered at. Events have proven
they knew more than they were cred
tied with knowing The bill. as re-
ported, will be very unsatisfactory to
many friends of ship subsidy. Simmered
down to the point that il provides car
go-carrying steamers under the dis
guise of mail lines, it will doubtless ac-
complish much in expanding our trade.
But to those who favored cargo sub
sides. with the idea of causing COM
petition and resulting in lower foreign
rates, the new bill will be a grave dis
appointment. The middle west repre-
sentatives have opposed the Gallinger
bill which made liberal provisions for
cargo-carriers, with a view of assist
ing the farmers of that section to reach
new markets. Now they are asked to
support a bill which is devoted excIu-
sively to establishing regular lines and
which is not nearly so beneficial as the
Gallinger bill. as far as carrying car
goes is concerned. Another point that
will not be overlooked is that the Gal
linger bill would have cost the gov
eminent, according to careful esti-
mates, only S4.625,625 a year, while ii
would have established ten lines and
assisted the tramp" steamers and
sailing vessels. 1t is estimated that it
100000 tons of steel mail steamships.
and 100000 tons of cargo vessels. The
Littauer bill will cost $500. 600 yearly
and the most optimistic of its friends
do not claim it will create more than
thirty-one new steamships. Ii will be
further pointed out that il provides
subsidies for regular lines only so that,
once established the subsidized line will
have an effective monopoly, for its
would-be competitors would have to
contend with natural conditions and
against a government subsidy. The
tramp" steamer competition will be
practically eliminated as they will re-
ceive no subsidy. There is no doubt
will be promptly taken OF
the opportunity to secure these subsi-
dies if the Littauer bill becomes a law,

BEWARE OF ~DIeEsTVEs.-
The Only Way to Cure Stomach Dis
orders is by Strengthening the
Digestive Organs.

The ordinary pepsin tablet has ruin
ed more stomachs than all other
causes combined. While il gives tenn
pOrary relief il leaves the digestive
system weaker than ever. and the tab
lets must be continued with increased
frequency.
The only way to permanently cure
stomach troubles is by strengthening
the digestive organs with a Mi-o-ua
stomach tablet taken before meals In
this way the remedy prepares the
stomach for the loOd and excites the
secretion of the gastric juices 40 that.

idea that South American diplomats

Charles B. Hanford has taken oc-
casion. during several lectures which
he has delivered befors educational in
situations during his present tour. to
refer TO the possibilities of a National
Theater in this country. He regards
the increasing demand among the play
goers for dramas which are either of
classic quality or of native origin as
an indication Of a most wholesome
popular sentiment: one which must
eventually lead to the establishment of
an institution which will encourage the
highest effort of which American au-
thOrship is capable.

but the subsidies will go to cOmbina
tions Of capitalists, for it will require
much money to build. equip and oper-
ate any of the proposed lines. The
comparatively small capitalists. who
foresaw an opportunity to build and
operate tramp" or cargo steamers I'M
der the Gallinger bill. whose invest
ment would probably be limited to one
or two vessels looking for cargoes and
prepared to cut rates, are eliminated
by the new measure.
Frankly speaking 10 one who is ia
miliar with the subject, the only ad-
vantage of the Littauer bill over the
Gallinger bill appears to rest in the fact
that it is more likely TO pass the house
than the other. 1t is at least a step in
the right direction.
Probably the most unique way of
sending money through the mails that
has yet been devised. was that adopted
by lieutenant Colonel David Kingman.
of Savannah, Georgia. Colonel King
man wanted a document from the Of
fee of the Superintendent of Public
accounts and glued a two cent stamp
on one side of a silver dollar. while
on the other side he pasted a slip bear
ing the address and stating what he
wanted. The dollar came through all
right, but this method of sending mon
ey is not recommended by the depart
ment. 1t is especially undesirable to
send $4,000 bills in this manner.
II is a fOregOne conclusion that there
will be a struggle for places on the
ways and means committee next year.
Five republicans on that committee
who retire: Representatives Bah
cock of Wisconsin. McCleary of Mime
sofa, and Grosvenor of Ohio. because
their constituencies decided to leave
them. at home; Representatives Curtis
of Kansas and Smith of Michigan be
cause they have been promoted to the
senate. AS there is a possibility that
the question of tariff revision will be
taken up in the next congress. these
places will be much sought after.
The confirmation of George Bruce
COrtelyou as secretary of the treasury
to succeed Secretary Shaw. on the lat
ter's retirement was a gracious and
eminently proper action on the part Of
the United States senate. Mr.. Corte-
lyou is not a banker, and in the opin-
ion Of many, instead of that being a
handicap. it is a strong point in his
favor. The impression is gaining
ground that the United States treas
ury, particularly the banking feature.
should be operated for the benefit OF
the whole country. The bankers have
acted as though the treasury should be
conducted primarily to assist them in
their business, calling in deposits. buy
ing or selling bonds and making loans
whenever they thought action was
necessary. Mr.. CortelyOus past record
is sufficient to justify the presumption
that he will make good as secretary
of the treasury. A man who started
as stenographer and who has filled
the positions Of secretary to the spresi-
dent, secretary of commerce and labor
and postmaster general, to say nothing
of being chairman of the republican
national committee, and coming out of
the campaign with a surplus. is not
likely to fail as secretary OF the treas
ury. Through all Mr.. COrtelyOu has
retained the respect of his associates

nineteen years old and Mack twenty.

learn they are not older This COM
ing around as they have year after year

looking at them for ages. Both have
become solid business men and prop
erty holders, and when the public gets
tired of them and it is time for them

The friends of each claim an ac-

that Hughes. who is not an
