HEAvE HO! AND GIVE TIME
TO PULL THE MAN DOWN!
Philadelphia DepIores the
Passing Away of the Old
Time Sailing Ship.

PHILADELPHIA, March 6-The wane
of the sailing vessel on the high seas was
illustrated here today when the Phila-
delphia Vessel Owners and Captains AS
ISOLATION went out of existence after
thirty-nine years of activity.
The directors Of the association, who in
recent years have been extensive owners
of sail tonnage, find their vessels have
nearly all been lost in the last few
years. and as those that remain are few
in number there is no further need for
the association. Members said today that
no better evidence of their losses is pro-
durable than the work of this winters
gales on the stretch of the Atlantic
coast from Cape Hatteras to Cape Cod
They said that the property destroyed in
this short stretch in the last three
months amounts to $4,000, 600
The opening of the Panama canal will
be another death blow to sailing vessels
which have been rounding Cape Horn.
When the canal is opened merchandise
will be carried from the Pacific to the
atlantic ports at about one-half the pres
ent cost.
Because of the scarcity of schooners,
the demand for sailing tonnage is greater
today than at any time in the last
twenty-five years. F'reights on coal yes
terday were $14O ton to Boston and
$1.JO to Portland, Me, a higher rate than
has been paid in years.

THE connection of Mr.. George w. Per-

Some Progressive Methods Criticised

Certain reform methods of government
advocated by many of the progressives
and in part by Mr.. Roosevelt were Sc
verely criticised by Mr.. Stimson. He de-
nounced the recall of judges as destined
TO bring the courts down into the weller
of politics." and said that it was no test
of republicans progressiveness to re-
quire his support to systems that had
been successful in certain states.
Mr.. Stimson said that the referendum
had apparently worked we'll in Oregon,
but that in fifty-year trial in New York.
as applied to constitutional questions. it
had been a failure.
Should the national republican who
lives in New York be read out of this
party" he asked, because he declines to
accept the referendum as the best RENE
dy to cure the abuses of popular govern
ment In his own state?
President Taft has been most falsely
vilified and abused in connection with
the tariff. said Mr.. Stimson, and has, in
fact, taken the republican party out of
the grasp of the special interests bene-
flied by the tariff and has made a part
of the republican progressive policy the
downward revision of the tariff law
schedule by schedule.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-03-06
Always a Progressive.

II am now, and always have been, a
progressive" said Mr.. Stimson. Il am
for Mr.. Taft because l believe he has
faithfully carried out the progressive
faith of the republican party: that his
administration stands for orderly, per-
manent progress in our national gov
eminent, and that to refuse him the
nomination on the assertions that have
been made against him would be a blow
to that progress, and would put a pre-
MUM upon hasty- and unfounded criti-
cism.
Il entered into public life under the in
spiration of Theodore Roosevelt. l am
firm believer in the great national policies
for which he has fought, and l now re-
main his sincere friend. But 1 believe
that those who are forcing him, contrary
to his original intention, into the arena
against Mr.. Taft are jeapordizin instead
of helping the real cause of progress in
the nation.
THE introduction of such q contest at
this time, dragging in. as 1t necessarily
Will. new and personal issues, which are
quite foreign to the great progressive
policies for which the republican party
stands, cannot fail to weaken whichever
candidate is eventually nominated in
June. If, as a result, that candidate is
defeated in November the government
may be thrown into the hands Of a truly
reactionary party for years to come.

selling are located on the very crest of High

Every home is to great extent what the
location makes it. Come and see these High

be built-the best evidence in the world as to
what the people themselves think of High

High View homes are made doubly at

which they are sold.
