The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1907-09-22

One Of the subjects likely to receive
considerable attention from Congress at
the next session is that Of industrial
education. From all parts of the coun-
try have come complaints Of the diff
Guilty OF securing skilled mechanics.
Many large employers OF trained labor
believe that the greatest menace to the
continued commercial supremacy Of the
United States is the disappearance of
the efficient and adapted craftsman to
whom many labor-saving inventions
have been due. This failure in the sup
ply of high-elass labor is attributed to
the abandonment of the apprenticeship
system and the omission to substitute
for 1t any comprehensive plan OF prac.
tical manual training. The Davis bill,
introduced last winter provided for ap-
preparations amounting to S4,0O0,00O for
this purpose. This bill, with some al.
tcrations, is likely to be urged upon the
federal lawmakers again at the next
session. The Citizens Industrial Asso-
citation, which is made up of repesen-
tatives OF employers. organized labor
and the genearl public, is planning to
take up this subject at tis annual con-
yention at Battle Creek, earl in October,
with view Of recommending sys-
tematic plan of legislative treatment by
the w-making bodies of both the ma
tion and the states in providing for
schools that will trun out young men
equipped to enter the skilled trades.
As this convention is the largest gath
ering of the year dealing exclusively
with matters pertaining to labos and

II would seem that the admiaistra.
tion is taking the most decided steps
TO stimulate interest in the country in
the question OF water transportation.
President Roosevelt goes on his trip
down the Mississippi river, from keo.
kuk. Iowa, to Memphis, the latter part
OF this month. AMI will deliver an ad-
dress at the Deep Waterways Conven'
tion to be held in the latter city. John
Barrett. director of the Burean of Amer
lean Republics, stopped of at Chicago
day or SO ago to boom the question
and point out the necessity that exists
for getting the waterways OF the nited
States in a preparedness to carry the
greatly increased traffic that will come
as the result of the opening OF the
Panama Canal, According to Mr.. Bar.
rett, once the Isthmian ditch is com.
pleted, the value of products the South
American republics will be purchasing
from foreign countries will approximate
$500,000.0Oo a year. As the National
Rivers 4 Harhors Congress all along
has contended, the nited States must be
in posotion to market its goods in the
cheapest transportation fashion, |: it
hopes to capture any Of this trade.
Both President Roosevelt and Mr.. Bar
rett addressed the organization at its
last convention in this city, heartily en-
dorsing its object, which is to irduce
the federal government to expenI not
less than $5O,000,000 year on river
and harbor work, Vast as this sum is,
it will only be one-tenth, of the yearly
trade OF the countries to the south of
the United States.

nothing but regret is expressed Off

replied in substance that all Caucasian

fer the Chinese to Japanese, as the
better choice between two evils. Thus

A new phase OF the strenuous life led
by President Roosevelt has been brought
to light through his selection OF DR.
Maurie Francis Egan, the poet, to be
minister 10 Denmark. DR.. Egan has
been known in Washington as the Pres
ident's literary adviser, but the peculiar
feature Of these relations is that they
have been maintained to a considerable
extent by telephone. The President is
in reality Bell subscriber. so was d.
Egan until he left Washington Al few
weeks ago. Whenever President Roose-
welt took up new book of any ccnse-
quence, particularly piece Of fiction
or collection OF poems, he was accus-
toned to call up DR.. Egan. then prof
essor Of English Literature at one Of
the schools of the capitol, and ask his

In the battleship Kansas. the United

its fighting strength. The sister ship Of
the Kansas, the arst.class battleship
Vermont, was tried out only last week
and exceeded all expectations. The Kan
sas was given her speed trials this
week and while not equalling the per-
formance Of the Vermont, her test was
declared to be altogether satisfactory.
A glowing report was received BY the
Navy Department from Captain Suth-
erland president Of the trial board, who
was on board the ship during her speed
trials. The ponderous big vessel made
1871 knots with full power, and In her
endurance test she steamed for twenty
four hours at an average speed Of II
knots fiat. Her gun trials were oighIy
satisfactory also, and altogether Kansas
has reason TO be proud OF the vessel

ANOTHER LIGHTNING FREAK
Same Bolt Picks Out Four Members of
the Same Family Who Were
Widely Separated.

Seymour, Ind, Sept. Awhile at
the old settlers reunion at Kurtz, Geo.
Sutton, who had been struck by light
ming while under the perth of the
Rider store, reported that his left side
was still numb, and that he suffered
considerable pain, while blue place
on his shoulder showed where the cleo
trio bolt took effect. His brother,
Robert Sutton, in the rear Of the store,
was also struck By the same bolt, while
persons standing between them were
unframed.
Their sister, Mrs. Rachel Weineger,
at the home, some distance away,
across the street, was also shocked by
the same bolt, while John Sutton, ten
miles distant, at the same instant, was
rendered unconscious. This peculiar
fact gives rise to the inquiry, Is there
a magnetic foce connecting kin not
broken by distance, or were the indi-
vidual nerves in such a susceptible
condition that each felt the shock at
the same instant.
