POLITICAL POINTS

Weekly Letter From The i,
National Capitol


Friends Of the subsidy bill are
iubilant over the fact that the
President has come out fiat footed
for the measure. They believe
that a ship subsidy bill will be
passed at the present session.
Just how much it will carry is a
question, but the probability is
that the forecast of SO, 750, 900 is
about right. The President has
sent a special message to Congress
on the subject and n of his most
telling phrases is that ''the steamer
is needed as much as the war
ship" He goes into many details
as to the need of additional steam
ship communication, especially
with South America and points
out that while American warships
are a familiar sight in South
American ports Rio Janiero last
year with 5000 entries of steam
and sailing vessels could show no
American steamers, and only z
sailing vessels from this country,
two OF which had put into the
port in distress.
The President quoted largely in
his message from the report made
to him by Secretary Root after
the latter's trip around South
| America. AS he outlines the plan
there will be IA vessels of Is knot
speed built for the Atlantic coast
service and % vessels of the same
size for service on the Pacific. He
points out that this will involve an
expenditure for subsidies actually
less than that of Great Britain and
relatively smaller than that OF
either France or Germany OF even
little Japan. He shows that the
bill will encourage American
shipyards which are almost as
necessary to the national defense
as are battle ships and will give
employment to an immense num-
Der of men and enable the ship
building works to extend their
plants into other lines of profitable
construction. Naturally the pos
session of these American built
and American o~wnedvessels would
be of great Importance from the
standpoint of national defense
because it would put a large fleet
of auxiliary steamships at the
service of the government which
is now almost completely lacking
in an effective naval reserve.
AS to the benefits of the bill the
President points out that it will
not be confined to the coast cities
at which the vessels actually touch,
but that the vessels will act as
feeder lines to the interior Of the
country, %benefting the Mississippi
valley quite as much as it does
the seaboard. In conclusinn he
says that our total trade with the
orient and the immense trade
which we should have, but do not
now have, with South Am...ta
depends entirely upon adequa,
steamship facilities. Owing to
the much greater expense, which
attends not only building but
operating American steamships,
a subsidy is absolutely necessary.

BOORLSH, BUT EASILY FORESEEN.
Any American who is reason
ably familiar with the colonial
history of his own country does
not need to be told that the average
British governor is a self-centered
and self sufficient despot.
1t is altogether probable that if
the governors of the original
colonies had manifested a moder-
ate degree of Cancellation and
leniency in carrying out the royal
DEGREES the separation from the
mother country might have been
postponed for a long time if not
averted altogether.
It was the domineering, insolent,
autocratic attitude of the royal
representatives which precipitated
the revolution.
That British colonial governors
have not changed in temperament
and habit of thought during the
last century and a quarter is
shown in the episode at Kingston.
There was a right way and a
wrong way of d~eclinging Ameri-
q aid. There was a courteous
and a churlish method of refusing
proffered assistance. Governor
Swettenham chose the wrong way
acted the shurl and the boor in
rejecting what vas kindly intend
ed even if it were not needed. In
that he was faithful to the tradi-
Ntions of his predecessors of earlier
colonial days.
1t would be idle to deny that the
rebuff which American good will
has sustained at the hands of
Governor Swettenham is deeply
felt. II would be still more un-
candid to pretend that it was NOT
In a measure invited.
A
Disguise it as we may, the fact
remains that if the president and
congress had not manifested a
disposition to render aid before
aid was asked we should not now
be suffering the humiliation con-
sequent upon having our naval
forces ordered to keep TO their
ships-the discomfort of being
practically shown the door and
invited to leave.
It might have been we'll for the
president to remember that it is
only seven months since he him.

Senator Beveridge certainly
sprung q sensation this week in
the speech that he made in be-
half of his child labor bill. 1t
was a remarkable speech and
unique in that it wus accompanied
by a large number of photographs
which he passed around the senate
chamber and discussed while the
senator was talking. The aim of
the bill is to enact a federal anti
child labor law. To secure this
end it is proposed to prohibit the
transportation of Interstate COM
merce of the product of any fac
tory where child labor is m
ployed. Sen. Beveridge pointed
out that a number of states have
excellent child labor laws, but
the immense corporate interests
which are fattening off the produce
of child labor succeed in defeat
ing the purpose of these laws in
almost every case. If a state
does enforce such a law, it is
placed at a commercial disadvan-
tage with any competing state
which either has no such law or
having it does not enforce 1t.
The detail of Sen. Beveridge's
speech we're distressing in the
extreme to those who have any
love for children, or regard for the
future OF the national physique.
He cited scores of cases all sup
ported by ahdavits wherein chill
dren were kept at work from nine
to twelve hours a day in the cot =
ton mills of the south, in the
sweat shops of New York, the
hemp factories of Paterson, N. j.,
and the coal mines of most of the
coal producing states. He said
that the cases he presented by
name were not extreme ase He
cited them because they were
typical of the thousands of cases
all over the country. In some
instances which he named, un-
fortunate little dwarfs of from ten
to twelve years of age were kept
at work on the nightshift in mines
and factories and drenched wit h
cold water when they fell asleep
over their tasks. In other case g
he showed factories that were SUR
mounted by a stockade topped
with barbed wire, put there as tn 6
foreman of the factory explained,
to keep the children from escap-
ing once they had been carried in
to work. His picture of how the
breaker boys were compelled to
labor in the coal mines was almost
enough to make one foreswear the
use of coal and he warned the
Senate that if the conditions now
existing in this country were mol
improved we would find the physi.
cal standard of the nation declin.

exist in England during the Boel
war when sixty per cent of the
recruits yer rejected because o

that came from the White House yester-
day.
While he was at oyster Bay the presi-

the matter. What action, II any, will be
taken by the government h1s not been
determined, and cannot be until District
Attorney French at Boston has made his
report on whether the projected merger
is I'm violation of any federal statute, and
II so what action should be taken by the
government.
Inasmuch as the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford and Boston and Maine
are not parallel roads and therefore in
that sense not competing, the case is not
on all fours with the Northern Securities
merger, which was dissolved by the
courts because IL was n combination In
restraint OF trade.
There is serious doubt In the minds OF
some OF the legal officials OF the govern
ment whether the merger would he In
violation OF any federal statute, but
nothing definite can be said until Mr..
