gave only two Republican votes
against the bill, while Illinois gave a
majority of its votes for it, and the
prairie State of Nebraska out of 5.
These are figures which point un-
mistakably to an early and complete
reason to believe that many-probably
/ a majority-of the 35 Western Repre-
sentatives who voted against the ocean
mail bill a week ago personally favor
legislation of this kind. but fear that
it is not yet properly understood by
their constituents. There is no ques-
tion that there is hostility in the Mid
die West to the idea of subsidy, but
this ocean mail bill is no more of a
subsidy than is our expenditure On
rural free delivery or railway mail
carrying. 1t is simply honest pay for
actual service rendered.
Western misunderstanding of the
ocean mail legislation wherever it
exists, l am convinced, is due in large
part to the propaganda maintained for
European steamship combinations
through their emigrant agencies scat
tered all over the western country.
These foreign ship companies are
afraid of a vigorous, competing Amer
lean merchant marine. They now mo-
nopolize nine-tenths of our ocean car
5000, 900, 900 year. Because there are
no American ships. these foreign con-
Germs are able to force the United
States Government to pay double tran
sit rates for the privilege of sending
our mails to South America via Eu-
rope. and they are scheming now to
the Pacific Ocean.
1T is these alien monopolists who
have the assurance to assail the ocean
mail bill as in the interest of mo
nopoly'-though the bill has no more
earnest champions than President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. This is
a measure in the interest of the safety
and independence of America and the
freedom of the seas. AS before sug-
gested. 1 am confident that before the |
60th Congress adjourns the ocean mail
bill will have won sufficient new sup
port in the Middle West to insure its |
final passage by a strong majority in |
the House of Representatives.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 81
Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire

mail subvention provision, that was
barely defeated in the House, has
given out an interview expressing his
hopefulness of some legislation at tho
next session. He regards the battla
for mail subvention as as good as won
The Senator said today:
THE ocean mail bill, which passed
the Senate on March 20, without a di-
vision. and later was sustained by the
Senate in the Postoffice Appropriation
Bill, on a vote of 46 to Il, is not killed
by the action of the House in failing
to accept it on a narrow vote of 145
to 153. The friends of the bill believe
that next December it will win by a
decisive majority The exultation
which the temporary defeat of this
measure has aroused in Liverpool,
London and Hamburg, among the for
eign shipowners and merchants, IS
hasty and premature.
'sThe vote on May 23 shows how
swiftly the ocean mail service and
the merchant marine are gathering
strength in the House of Representa-
tives. One year ago. Sc Republicans,
nearly all from the Middle West, voted
against bin for mail lines to South

lines to South America, Japan, China,

For 40 years the agents and attorneys
in this country of foreign ship trusts,

steamers out of New York in our War

1t is pointed out by Chief Crooks that

life buildings while by many they are
designated as peculiarly and inherently
private. The chief further declares
| that while Leader Hall was objected
| to as possibly an unsafe place TO hold
the commencement exercises of ths
Manchester High School. for the reason
that it is not equipped with fire es-
lcapes YET the hall Is frequently rented
as meeting place for large assem-
bias es, and no objection Is then raised
