The Shipping Strike.

The navigation strike at the English
ports, which seemed to have been ad-
justed few days ago. has been renewed,
with an outlook for serious trouble and
certainly costly blockade of shipping
unless settlement Is promptly effected.
The developments at Liverpool during
the past few hours have resulted in
tying up several vessels and unless the
differences between the navigation COM
panies and the seG@rc1, dockers an /
portors a G quicl.ly ac.uttcd trade VIII
be damaged TO the extent of millions of
dollars. One of tie most serious con-
sequences of this outbreak of trouble be-
tween the steamship companies and their
men Is threatened shortage in the food
supply of the United Kingdom. At
least 10.O00.0Oo people depend from day
to day upon the importations Of all kinds
Of food stuffs. and it is impossible to
store a sufficient quantity to insure them
continuance OF sustenance for more than
a week Or ten days. The greater part
Of the food importations consists of per-
ishable materials. which must be un-
loaded and handled promptly upon arri-
val. In consequence OF this state OF
affairs, the wholesale merchants of the
larger cities are now taking action to
force an early adjustment OF the troubles
between the men and the companies.

of the proeressives, today they may We,
reach tiff they hurry.
Setting q time limit in this matter is
dangerous. For an instance. Gov. Will
son-not far from sixty-is a progressive
on one of the most important issues of
the day. and became so almost between
suns. For twenty years. according to
his own confession. he. not only disap-
proved of the initiative and referendum,
but wrote and spoke in opposition to that
policy. Now he is advocating It, AS an
educator he opposed AS a candidate for
President he advocates. In less than
twelve months he has reached the front
rank OF the progressives, and Is crowding
Mr. Bryan himself for first place.
AS for Mr.. Bryan. he seems always to
have been a progressive. and he is still
progressing. Age cannot wither him as
progressive, nor custom stale his in
finite variety. If ne lives that long-and
everybody wishes him long life-he will
be as progressive at sixty as he has been
at any time since he began setting the
pegs for democratic politicians.
Some men-like Mr.. Bryan-are born
progressives Some men-like Gov. Will
son-achieve progressiveness under in
fiuences so very human they may not be
sneezed at. And there are some men
who are very willing to have progressive
ness thrust upon them. The latter class
is numerous. The presidency of the
United States is so great an Office and
so strong lure. a man OF seventy, when
it swims into his ken, Is as likely to
change his views and progress If the
situation requires it, as young man of
forty still in the plastic years
The State should not value too highly
the dictum it quotes. Grandfather Har-
mon. under inspiration, can develop as
much agility as Baby Folk" and in as
short a time. No wideawake statesman
is Oslerized at sixty, or at any time past
that.

Mail From Aloft.

Considerable attention was paid to the
performance of an aviator who yesterday
circled above the giant steamship Olympic
as she left the port at New York for
he first eastward run. The birdman UNI
tertook 10 drop package of letters upon
The deck or the vessel. but only sue
teesei in letting it fall into the sea
alongside. Such a performance Is not
particularly noteworthy, save that it is
IN nverwater flight. indicating the con-
unuinS extension of the scope and range
II aviation. The usefulness of dropping
mail matter at random from an aero
plane 10 a ship is questionable. Some
possible advantage might be gained IL:
the transmission of late mails to sea-
going vessels by aeroplane, but precau-
tons must be taker - insure safe de-
livery. This could possibly he done by
the aviator trailing a line below his
machine. TO be caught by those on board
and utilized as sliding string to guide
the mail packet safely to the deck.

Prophecy and Politics.

A turn was given to the debate in the
Senate yesterday which might be encour-
aged 10 good effect on that body and the
country. Interest in the discussion proper
Is languid. Senators are inattentive. A
quorum for but a moment is obtained
with difficulty. Members respond to the
roll calls, and then retire to the cloak
rooms. or the restaurant. or their COM
mittee rooms.
The reason is that opinion is made up
about the pact Senators know where one
another stand. Mr.. X. understands that
MIR. Y. is not to be influenced by any
thing he. Mr.. X. has to say on the sub
ject. and Mr.. Y. is as far beyond the in
fiuence of Mr.. y. AS for Mr. T.. the whole
business simply bores him. He would be
willing 10 vote tomorrow. or go home to-
morrow without voting He has no speech
10 deliver. and cares not rap for any
speeches that are coming from others.
So why not make excursions into presi-
dental politics and prophecy? Well man.
aged. they would keep senators in their
seats. and the country at attention. The
ir5ulation OF the Congressional Record
would increase by the thousands. That
worthy, and informing and unjustly de-
rided publication would appeal to the
people of all sections Everybody would
recognize the fact that the time had come
10 subscribe
Nlr. Bailey and Mr. Borah got into the
game yesterday. but did not go far. They
merely suggested the possibilities of a
new line of talk. Mr. Bailey predicted
the denomination OF Mr.. Taft and stopped
Mr.. Borah thought the Texas senator. did
well to stop right there. Evidently. the
Idaho senator has been meditating on the
coming campaign and found the subject
perplexins And as evidently the Texas
senator has met with difficulties But
both. with little encouragement. might
he induced to become holder and other
senator's tempted to copy them Mr.. Bo-
rah need not be pressed to the point of
naming his choice for the republican NOM
nation nor Mr.. Bailey forced to choose
between Bryanite or an anti Bryanite
on his side.
me old warning never to prophesy "on-
less We know" Is not in the spirit OF true
sport. A bet on a sure thing is no bet at
all. The man who knows what chance is
and whose blood responds to his knowI-
edge scorns such a thing He. wants to
take a chance, and is willing to abide by
the result
Let us, therefore. have more prophecy
about next year. and, as the reciprocity
pact because of being so we'll understood
Is no longer exciting, let II be introduced
In the Senate debate. Mr. Taft is easily
the favorite in republican circles for re-
nomination. but may not be called a GER
tainty. As for the democrats, they have
half dozen men, good and true. to
choose from. and the gamble. for those
who like a gamble is most alluring. And
the subject is pat enough in the Senate.
The tariff is but a text. What is on the
cards outside of the pact with Canada re-
lates 10 presidential politics. and why not
~cujtieate the field fully and frankly?
