BRINGS BOTH TO CORN SHOW
Colonization Agent BIcDonaugh says
Displays that Won at
seattle Are Now Enroute
TO Omaha.

The Union Pacific Is going to have an
exhibit at the National Corn exposition
that will be worth the while OF any man
to stop and study. 1t will. in fact. have
two notable ~displays-the Fresno exhibit
that took first prize at the Yukon-Seattle
exposition and the klamath Falls exhibit
that did the same thing for washington.
George L. McDonough, colonization agent
for the Union Pacific, has been quietly
arranging these concessions for weeks and
has received word that both are now en-
route to Omaha.
It required no small effort to secure
these displays, for there were demands
for them elsewhere, but Mr.. McDonough
went after them with genuine Union Pa
cific zeal and landed them.
Corn officials are most enthusiastic over
both these exhibits. The Fresno collection
includes the choice specimens Of raisins,
fruit, grain and alfalfa raised In the Won
derful San Joaquin valley, California, and
which was the wonder OF all at Seattle.
Fresno is the geographical center Of the
state Of California and It is, moreover, the
center, the hub, of the great raisin, fruit
and wheat belts-the METROPOLIS. In fact

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 22.-To the Editor
OF The Bee: That report on the ship
subsidies Of Japan, on which you comment
editorlally as proof that such national aid
does not always Increase commerce, is
very misleading in its figures. The COM
parison comes down only to 19O6-19O7. Up
to that time the subsidized Japanese lines
had not yet succeeded In driving American
ships off the Pacific ocean, and all the
largest and most efficient carriers were
still flying the American flag.
Now all but one Of the American steam.
ers out Of Puget sound have succumbed to
this unequal competition. and a comparatiys
statement Of the usefulness of japanese
subsidies to Japanese commerce would
have a different look, indeed. On the
Orient-San Francisco line, several large.
fast American steamers are still running.
1t should be understood that American
freight shippers and American and Euro
pean passengers prefer American ships,
and the American management Of a steam
ship line is unquestionably more exact, ef-
ficient and economical than foreign man
agement-this San Francisco line, for ex-
ample, being run by an American naval
officer, a gentleman Of marked force and
executive ability, comparable with one of
our great railroad men. But for these
natural advantages, which Japanese sub
sides have only slowly overcome, the
American flag would long since have been
swept completely off the Pacific ocean.
The United States has never tried
subsidies. II has tried mall contracts. and
the practical results wherever American
steamship lines run are a splendid vindica-
ton Of that policy. There are several
strong mail lines under the American
flag from Atlantic ports to the West
indies and Mexico. Wherever they go
American trade overtops European trade.
and Is growing i'm far greater proportion.
The principal American West India line,
which began with three or four small
ships. now has more than a dozen fine,
great, A"merican-built steamers-so that the
traveller in West Indian ports frequently
sees his country's flag floating, as II
ought, at the staffs of the best vessels in
those waters.
Mail contracts have done this. The bill
before Congress-a mail and not a subsidy
bH~l-proposes to extend this policy to
South America and across the Pacific
ocean. II your people of Nebraska saw
the shipping question face TO face. as we
or the seacOast see II, President Taft
would be as heartily sustained in his
ocean mail policy by the representative
or your own and neighboring states as
he Is by the representatives of Maine OF
