LETTERS FROM READERS

49, ~ + (,
l read recently that thousands
of sailors are lreld in bondage by
the masters of American ships. l
am glad to say there are no Ameri-
can sailors among them. The
American sailors have quit the sea
some of them are in prisons.
Most of them are making good
ashore. The Latin-speaking races
are the ones to suffer most.
Now the question is, what is a
sailor from sailors point of ken?
If man can go to sea and not get
seasick, is he a sailor? No.
I overheard lady say: RI am
a good sailor. I have crossed the
ocean six times without being
SICK" Well, she might be good
sailor, but I would hate to trust
to a crew of her kind in squall.
An A. B. (ablebodled sailor) is
supposed to be able to do any
thing he is ordered to do. But
can he? No. About one in ten
can do So. In these days of steam
they do not need sailors any more
than they needed fremen in the
days Of the sailing ships. They
have to ship A. B. sailors to save
their insurance, for if there wal
not an A. B. at the wheel and or
the lookout and some one of thu
crew squea!ed the owners woult
be out the insurance money in cas-
of disaster at sea. As long al
| the crew is A. B. on the ships arti
cles the ship will pass muster. (
: master Of a ship is in luck if in
crew of twenty seamen he has tw'
to four practical sailors. AM
among them one who can and vii
do nearly everything he is ordere
to do. He can splice anythin
from No. 8 thread to an Atlanti
cable. He can take a ship frol
the builders and rig her up for Sc
and he can sail her too, if need b.
In the old Navy of 1887, not s
long ago, if one wished to ship
!, an A. B. seaman he would have
pass the Boatswain and if tt
Boatswain got funny he would wa
% one not only to rig and sail sh
but to navigate her as we'll.

It's with some misgivings as
we'll as considerable pleasure that
| present to the readers OF The
Mirror this, my initial effort, as
regular contributor. While well :,
aware that there are many others
far more fitted TO fill the position [
now find myself occupying, | am
none the less conscious of the al
vantages which the contributor to
The Mirror enjoys and trust | may
be pardoned FOR thus endeavoring
to secure these advantages at the
expense OF its readers. Moreover,
as the spirit of generosity, which
seems to be potent factor in the
management of our little paper,
enables all who SO desire to share
IN these advantages, | can only
crave the indulgence of the read
ers for thus endeavoring to emulate
the efforts of so many worthy con-
tributors whose time and talent
have so materially assisted in bring
ing The Mirror to the high stand
ard of efficiency it now enjoys. 1t
shall be the aim of the writer of
this column to touch lightly upon
such topics of general interest as
may come under his notice and to
give expression to such sentiments
and thoughts as may from time to
time find birth in solitary medita-
ton.
| An Eastern paper makes the
pertinent suggestion that it would
be wise for Canada to employ her
proposed $12,0OO,OOO.OO navy on

turn from Africa and Congress

p what is considered conclusive proof
that the members of the Andree
Q Arctic expedition were destroyed
). by the Esquimaux. Andree start
Il ed for the land of perpetual ice in
is 1907 hoping to reach the North
s. Pole via the windbag route. Since
n then nothing definite has been
= heard of the expedition. It is be-
y lieved by many he was successful
n and that the honor of discovering
le the pole belongs to him instead of
if Peary whose expedition started
II about one year later.
! The efficiency of the probation
II system as means of dealing with
:. first offenders and petty deIinqnents
: is clearly demonstrated in the re-
port of Probation Officer James E.
Edwards of Minneapolis. Accord
ing to Mr.. Edwards. during the
year 1909, 643 men whose sem
tences aggregated 1929 days were
placed on probation in Minneapolis.

Chicago Motorcyclist Makes
Sad Miscalculation and
Breaks Leg in Collision
With Machine Owned by
Judge McMahan.

In a rear end collision between a
motorcycle and an automobile, the
latter owned and driven by Judge w. c.
McMahan of Crown Point, the motor
cyclist, George Swanson, IS years old
of 6945 Cornell avenue, Chicago, sus-
tanned fracture of the leg
The accident happened yesterday af-
ternoon on the Ridge road where the
road turns toward Black Oak. In the
McMahan machine were a number of
ladies. The injured motorcyclist was
lifted into the McMahan automobile and
taken to ST. Margarets hospital in
Hammond where DIR. J. A. Graham set
the leg.
Both Judge McMahan and Swanson
were headed for Hammond, the motor
cyclist going considerably faster than
the automobile In rounding the corner
where the road leads left toward Black
Oak the automobile was compelled to
take the outer edge of the turn. The
motorcyclist too turned the corner on
the outer edge and while he was on
the proper side of the street to pass a
up with such speed that he did not
make allowance for the automobile hav-
ing to take the outer edie of the curve
too to make the turn. The damape to
the automobile was slight, but the
motorcvcle was considera bly, damaged.
John Schmueser of Hammond and
his family came to the scene of the ac-
cident shortly after it happened, he and
his family having been out in their
automobile.
