to be sure, is ever hungry, and yearly
claims its toll of human life, but a mod
ern liner like the Lusitania, with its bulk
heads closed by hydraulic power, is prac-
tically superior to collision with ship, ice
berg, and derelict, whileit goes on its way
mmindful of the weather. The life in
surance tables show that a man is safer
on "A steamship than in his own bed ct
home.
As to comfort, the modern liner is a
floating palace, with all the luxuries of
civilization at the disposal of its passen-
gers. In one respect, at least, the Lusi-
tania is superior to most palaces, in that
pure air, warmed and humidified when
necessary, is supplied to all parts of the
ship.
The only thing that remains as it was
in the beginning, despite the ingenuity
of man, is seaSickness. And even this
last manifestation of the power of Nep-
tune over mortals is apt soon to be over
come, either through development of that
mysterious balancing wheel that has APP
parently made a railroad on a single rail
possible or through the evolution of the
gliding boat that travels over the water
rather than throughit and on an even
keel. For it is written that man shall
have dominion over land and sea and al
that in them iS.-Chicago Inter Ocean

Success and Business.

Il suppose 1t is necessary that bust.
ness should be transacted; though the
amount Of business that does not con-
tribute to anybody's comfort or i'm
provement suggests the query
whether it Is not overdone. l know
that unremitting attention to business
is the price Of success, but l don't
know what success Is. There Is a
man, who we all know, who built a
house that cost u million dollars.
and furnished it for another like sun,
who does not know anything more
about architecture, or painting, or
books, or history, than he cares for
the rights Of those who have not SO
much money as he has.-Charles

have been found for 1t than merely as

In an article contributed to the Octo-
Der number of PUTNAM'S MONTHLY,
Cardinal Gibbons expresses in strong
terms his disapproval of the boycott as
practiced by labor unions, and also urges
the workingmen of the country to avoid
strikes, and intimidation in any form.
The Cardinal says
II am persuaded that the system of
boycotting, by which members OF labor
unions are instructed not to patroniZe
certain obnoxious business houses, is not
only disapproved by an impartial public
sentiment, but that it does not commend
itself to the more thoughtful and con-
servative portion of the dsthemselves.
Every man is free indeed to select the
establishment with which he wishes to
deal, and in purchasing from one in pre-
ference to another he Is not violating
Justice But the case is altered, when
by mandate of the society, he is de-
barred from buying from particular
firm. Such prohibition assails the lib.
erty of the purchaser and the rights OF
the seller and is an unwarrantable in.
vasion of the commercial privileges
guaranteed by the government to bust
ness concerns. If such social ostra-
csm were generally in vogue, n process
of retaliation would naturally follow,
the current Of mercantile intercourse
would be checked, every center of popu
lation would be divided into hostile
camps, and the good feeling which ought
to prevail in every community would be
seriously impaired. Live and let live
is wise maxim, dictated alike by the
law of trade and by Christian charity
Experience has shown that strikes are
drastic, and ut best a very question
able remedy for the redress of the labor
ers' grievances. They paralyze industry
they often foment fierce passions, and
lead to the destruction OF property; and
above all they result in INJECTING griev-
Gus injury on the laborer himself by
keeping him in enforced idleness, during
which time his mind is clouded by dis
content while brooding over his situa-
ton, and his family not infrequently
suffer from the want of the necessaries
of life. The loss inflicted by strikes on
the employers is not much more than
half that sustained by the employed,
who can much less afford to bear it. 1t
would be vast stride in the interest of
peace, and Of the laboring classes, if the
policy of arbitration, which is now gain.
ing favor for the settlement of interna'
tional quarrels, were also availed of for
the adjustment of disputes between cap
ital and labor Many blessings would
result from the adoption of this method
for while strikes, as the name implies, are
aggressive and destructive arbitration
is conciliatory and constructive. The re-
suit in the former case is determined by

plete power to control public service
corporations in regard to service, rates,
etc, so that now by applying TO the rail-
road commission any city may have an
order fixing it's light and water rates at
p reasonable price; may have Its service
brought to the necessary standard; and
may have it under reasonable regula-
tions as effecting extensions regulations
as to meters, and other matters. The
entire business of the light and water
companies is put under the immediate
and effective control of a governmental
board. In this way city can get all OF
the benefits of municipal ownership
without any of the risks or burdens
without the risk of bursted mains,
broken engines or leaky standpipes, or
blown down light poles, or any of the
other difficulties or hazards that these
institutions are subject to. In fact the
advantage of control of these corpora
tons in the manner to be exercised
under this law are so apparent over
municipal ownership that the secretary
of the Civic Federation has declared
that under such laws as were recently
enacted in New York and Wisconsin
there is no occasion or reason for cities
to burden themselves with these large
undertakings. This ought to be apparent
to everyone. But there is none so
blind as he who will not see, and per-
haps there is no use attempting to bring
such to the light. 1t would be the height
of folly for the PILOT to keep on reply
ing to the claptrap of the bossed, mort
gagged Manitowoc Tribune. This deceit
full, degenerate, demoDical, anarchistic
sheet is DESTROYS of keeping up the con-
troversy in order that it may gain noto-
riety There is no question but the
proper way to treat the insane bladder
dash of this internal mud singer is with
silent contempt This contemplate
makeshift of the broncho breed is dis
credit to the town and a disgrace to the
craft of Manitowoc.

FROM THE CLERM0NT TO THE LUsITANIA

Aug II, 1907, Robert Fulton's Cler-
mont made her trial trip up the Hudson.
She ran to Clcrmont, the home of Chan
ccllor Livingston, Fultons friend and
associate in the enterprise, and the next
day went to Albany.
The voyage Of AS miles was made at
| a speed Of little less than five miles an
hour, and the return trip was made at
about the same rate. This date may be
marked as the time when navigation by
steam reached the position of a recog-
nized commercial means of transport.
Sept l3, 1907, the new Cunard steam
ship Lusitania entered the port of New
York, She with her sister ship, the Maui
rctania, is the largest ship afoat. She
is presumably the fastest ocean liner in
commission. She certainly represents
the most advanced ideas of civilized man
in navigation.
All that civilization knows of steam
navigation has therefore been learned
in the space of Il century hin the
span of a human life A comparison
between the two vessels is interesting
The Clermont was a wooden vessel,
! 80 feet long, Is feet beam, 6 feet depth
of hold, feet & inches draught, and 100
tons. The engine had a single cylinder,
u inches diameter by feet stroke, and
developed 10 horsepower. The boiler
was 20 feet long I feet deep, and s feet
broad; it was Of the externally fired tank
type, and was set in masonry. The pad
die wheels were - feet in diameter, with
floats feet wide, dipping 2 feet into the
water.
The Lusitana is Il steel vessel, 7S5
feet long, IS feet beam, 6O.37 feet depth
of hold, 33 feet & inches draught, and
81, 800 tons. The type of engine is the
turbine, and she has four units Of ma
chincry and four screw propellers, with
$4,000 horsepower. There are % cy-
lindrica boilers and 1872 furnaces.
The essential differences between the
two vessels, where comparison is posi-
bic, are well indicated III the following
