FREE SHIPS IN A SUBSIDY BILL

In the new ship subsidy bill introduced by Representative Humphreys, a notable conces- sion is made to the views of those who contend that American-owned ships of foreign construc- tion should be admitted to American registry. Under the navigation laws Americans owning foreign built ships are not permitted to fly the American flag or to have their vessels admitted to American registry save under onerous con dtions. The Humphreys bill proposes to ad- init such vessels of a larger tonnage than 5000 to American registry, provided they are not employed in the coastwse trade They are to be barred also from mail compensation under existing or future laws.
 This concession, though rather grudging, marks an advance over the prohibitory policy of the navigation laws It is well known that there is considerable fleet of American owned ships engaged in foreign commerce flying for eign flags and under foreign registry These
 would undoubtedly seek American registry nnder the proposed bi particularly in view of the rebate of tonnage taxes, which it is intend

Chauffeurs in England

Apparently the English look upon th1 chauffeur as distinctly new type. Il1 aristocratic tendency there is to regaFl him as a servant, but as quite distHcl from other servants. He is looked uPo
 as a modern development of the gen tleman's gentleman of the eighteen
 century, when he was a leading hgui| in all the romances of the time. Fl
 those days the confidential valet wal the master of his master, knowing hi| secrets, carrying his messages to lade| of various degrees, the discreet obsel| yer of his masters friends, and altoI gether indispensable to the man of fa'i ion. The chauffeur is the master Of machine. He can make it go or stCll His word is law on long journey hence he must be one worthy of trua| and of too much self-respect to take 30 vantage of any situation that maks insolenee possible. So far as de'e oped, this new type has been fouh complaisant and faithful, ready
 brave any journey. But his primary O' votion is apparently rather to his m chine than to his master 10 ~I the Anglicism for employer.

Feminine Use of Firearms.

It may be doubted whether MrS Charity Trow, who caught burglar in her house and held him prisoner until the police came, utters an opinion alto gether safe and sound. when she says that every woman in Chicago ought to learn how to handle a revolver for self protection. In the first place that is a reflection upon the efficiency of the Chicago police. But even grant. ing their tardiness in appearing when and where their protection and actY. ity are needed, the certainty remains that the process of training all the firearms would be both impracticable and of tragic result. The giver of this advice enjoys the advantage, quite eI- ceptional in her sex, of having been taught how to use firearms when she was a girl. Perhaps, too, she is en. dowed with unusual physical courage But one shrinks from the possibility that the far-famed Chicago schools ot domestic science may add to their cur riculum practical instruction in targe practice and the ungentle art of sub duing burglars. It may be doubted, al so, whether many Chicago husbandS will view with calm the suggestion of the handy revolver as bit of house hold furniture or promoter of domes tic harmony.

DISTRIBUTING LABOR

It is easy to sympathize with the disappoint- ment of Commissioner General Keefe of the bu- reau of immigration, ever the summary dismis- sal of his recommendation to curtal the utility of the new division of the department of com merce for the distribution of immigrants. The commissioner general is essentially labor man, in touch with the wishes of the labor lead CTS, and in his recommendation evidently desir- ous of serving them. He was, for some years, the head of the longshoremen's union, and has always been labor union man. His recom- mendation was, perhaps, a logical outgrowth of his training and experience.
 The new division of the department of com merce and labor was designed expressly to fla citate the proper distribution of immigrants to prevent their massing in useless crowds in already overcrowded coast cities, and to send them along where their labor was needed to add to the nations growth and prosperity. From the first the work of this division machine has been highly effective; it has had the earnest cooperation of state and local authorities, and
 large employers of labor have been glad to take advantage of it.
 First and last the industries of this country, its wonderful prosperity and development, have been largely the work of immigrants now, hap oily, good American citizens Nothing could exceed the folly of massing our immigrants on the seaboard where they soon drift into evil ways and add to the tramp poulation. It was a great stride ahead when the new division was created to seek out the spots where labor was needed and to direct if there, and it was wise and worthy decision of Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor, to decline to stop the good work that has been and is still being done.
 And, after all, it cannot hurt the honest and efficient workingman, for the price of labor that is, all but the very lowest-depends not upon the number of men seeking job, but on their efficiency. The man who has been born in this country or who has lived here long enough to become imbued with the true Ameri- can spirit, should scorn to fear in the newly ar rived immigrants from among the peasantry of Europe possible rivalry. It is sincerely to be hoped that Commissioner General Keefe will not be induced to make any more such recon mendations.

ANOTHER TECHNICAL REVERSAL

The reversal and remanding of the cases against the might riders," convicted of mur- dering Captain Quentin Rankin, down in Ten nessee last September, is another one of those disheartening things that breed pessmism throughout this country in so far as the orderly administration of justice is concerned
 The defendants were tried along lines fair enough so far ordinary minds are able to judge, we think, and convicted by jury chosen from the neighborhood in which the crime was committed. Notwithstanding some threats of intimidation, this jury did its duty according to it's oath, and the wicked and atrocious murder of Captain Rankin seemed about to be avenged as the law prescribes The supreme court of the state, however disregards all these facts and
 findings, and upsets the convictions on two rel atvely unimportant technicalities, and the cases go back where they stood before any in dictments were drawn against the defendants. The first technical flaw was in reference to the composition of the grand jury finding the orig inal bis the second had to do with the number of challenges the defendants were allowed. In the meantime the crime is superseded by other stirring events, public interest is growing less intense and it is extremely doubtful that the prosecution has any great hope of obtaining another verdict of guilty in any circumstances
 It is small wonder, however much it ought to be otherwise, that the ancient injunction, Re spect the courts, y becomes something of bore now and then. Sometimes we feel that 1t might not be amss on occasions to suggest to the courts-some of them, anyway-the desirabil- ity of their respecting themselves. Quibblesand technical flaws of inconsequental import have freed too many redhanded murderers in. this country and whenever court turns loose new one we simply cannot respect it as much as we should like to- This Tennessee finding does not strike us as being much better than a recent Missouri reversal, which freed grafter and a thief because the indictment against him failed to contain the word "the" when the word 1 the" should. apparently, have been there. If, after the cinviction of these Rankin murderers, and pending the appeal to the supreme court, the defendants should have been ynched, great would have been the howl of protest and vio- lent indeed would have been the outrage against decency and law and order but the stubborn fact remains, nevertheless and notwithstanding, that it is just such legal legerdemain as this cited that gives mobs their only-or, at least, most plausible for taking matters in their own hands now and then, and administer ing justice positively, if crudey and after a mistaken code.

Few Editorial Plutocrats

From a Speech by Senator Gore.
 letter was read here this morning which 1t seemed to me cast an unwar ranted and unprovoked reflection upon the publishers of this country. The letter charged that free paper was be- ing urged only :" for the benefit of the opulent editors. There are, indeed, q few editors who have waxed wealthy; but there is a vast majority, approach ing nigh to unanimity, who were born poor and have held their own ever since. There are many who would not have to journey to Africa in order to find the tracks of the wolf. Many weekly editors 1 know who have to wrestle with the bread question like St. George of old with the dragon.

Wages of Sin-Death.

From the New York American.
 Those who seek the fascination of sin are likely to pay for it with their lives or that which is worth much more than life. The worst of men expect women who are false to others to be true to them. Suddenly discovering that the woman to whom he has given his guilty confidence and conscience is without faith, even to her guilty love, the man is goaded to fury. He is murderer! And he falls upon his sword.
 Every man, to be good man, needs to have good woman. And the test of good woman is the yearning to be the mother of her husband s chil- dren.
 The leal and loyal woman and wife who is joy all her days-a shining

light for tortuous steps--a support for the psychic life-is the mother! The women who won be mothers cannot be depended upon. They arel ike the wind which blows where it listeth.
 And, after all, the men who are thus punished for their own sins are themselves responsible. Seeking sin, they find it, and in finding it, they die.
 They who seek the Cleopatras of the world will die the death of the Mare Antonys.
