1.-THE very earnestness with
which our country has engaged
in forwarding solution of the
greatest possible promotion of
safety for life in transit over
the sea has tended unquestion-
ably to keep confidence alive, and
all reports indicate there has been
no material diminution in such
travel and business. The Amer
lean people will travel, if they
have reasonable assurance OF
ordinary care for their safety. "
In this connection it is inter
esting to know that nearly fifty
bills have been introduced in the
two houses of congress since the
Titantic disaster looking to the
safeguarding of life at sea.
Some of these bills are merito-
rious, others wholly Impractical
and inadequate, but all well in
tended, relating in these instan-
ces to lifeboat equipment, suffi'
Gent crew service, fre-fghtine
apparatus, ETC., but most are
crude. It is nevertheless be
lieved that an intelligent concen
gus of view will be reached be
fore Congress adjourns that vii
evolve the best possible law
Certain it is that nobody in thi
administration has been permit
ted to be derelict in this particu
lar emergency.

G. all Meeting

At the request of a number OF

q, m. for the purpose of consider
mo several matters of special in
terest to farmers, chief among
which is the fixing Of a reasonable
and Just price for picking cotton,
ana other classes of work and
items of interest.
We all know that one Of the
chief causes contributing to the
imnrofitableness of last seasons
crop was, the inadequate high
priced labor that prevailed from
start to finish.
There is a remedy within the
bounds of reason and justice for
this very undesirable condition.
and the man who fails or refuses
TO cooperate in the administration
Of it is either unrightiously selfish
obstinate. or conceited and is like
" afflicted with all of these ungen-
erous trails.
Brethren lets try a little COM
mon sense cooperation along prac-
ticaI lines and see if we can't reap
its logical benefits as do others IL
other vacations.
No branch of our commercial d
industrial interest pay SO small
dividend as does that of our Agrl'
cultural. Many of these adverse
conditions exist that we can eliml'
nate quickly if we will but co-ope
rate in an effort to extermlnaVe
them. Reason and Justice aomon

sane administration. HE ina

Safe Guarding Life At Sea

Washington, D. c., August 2.
The care of transatlantic pas
sengers of late months has been
sedulously provided for by every
agency Of the Federal govern
ment. Notwithstanding the per-
lis Of sea travel, despite the I'M
foreseen horrors Of the Titanic
! disaster, the stream of travel
from America across the Atlantic
and from the farther shores to
the United States has not notice
ably diminished. People these
days will come and go, tragedies
by land or sea to the contrary.
American shores make a magnet
no calamity can negative. They
will keep coming hither from
alien lands, just as they have
done from haylcyon' days of Col
umbian discovery. And they
will keep going hence, the de-
scendants of these earlier and
earliest settlers, curious to look
upon the land of their ancestors.
The multiplication of ships, the
improvement in every way of
facilities for ocean travel, added
comforts, even Injuries. speed of
the craft more closely linking
socially and in business wise the
old world and the new-all these
things have very greatly augmen-
ted the Importance Of ocean move
ment both of passenger and COM
mercial trade.
An absorbing question is wheth-
er the government to which they
are bound by allegiance of oath,
birth or citizenship, is inclined to
care for them or not in the risks
they take at sea.
It is worthy of note there has
been no dereliction upon the part
of the United States government
in the obvious duties that have
devolved upon us since the catas-
trophe which sunk more Of the
world in grief and horror than
anything of the kind thot has
visited humanity in modern
times.
! What machinery of this gov
eminent is available to promote
the safety of lives and property
in transit across the seas has
been used theoretically, intelli-
gently and without stint.
Supervising Inspector General
George Uhler Of the Steamboat
Inspecting Service has devoted
himself increasingly and most
earnestly to all the problems in
volved in the share of this gov
eminent in responsibility for the
safety Of ocean travellers. He
said to-day, talking on this sub
ject:
"As soon as the Titanic disas-
ter occurred everything was done
to provide life-saving equipment
for everybody on board ship, in
Guiding passengers and crew.
Although the American rules pre-
vious to this provided for the care
of more than twice as many peo-
pie as were provided for by the
rules Of the British Board OF
| Trade, still we did not relax
efforts to improve the situation.
The basis Of both American and
British rules, however, is the
tonnage of the ships rather than
the number of passengers, the
same basis being acknowledged
by all maritime nations of the
world, with the possible excep-
ton of Norway, which country,
since 1909, had provided for full
boatage on transatlantic Ships.
With the event of the appalling
Titanic calamity, all nations have
interested themselves actively
and proftably for the safety of
lives and property crossing the
seas, and more effectually than
our own government.

GREGG SOME PITCHER.
Has Supreme Nerve, is Never Worried
Should Show Great in 1912.

Vean Gregg, star southpaw Of the
Cleveland Maps, never looked over a
big league box score until two years
ago says Umpire Billy Evans. Sounds
rather strange, yet that was the story
told me by the great southpaw himself.
1t Is entirely different now, for no
pitcher more carefully peruses the box
scores than Gregg He is a star now,
student of the game, and is always
on the lookout for any dope on the hard
hitters. IN the old days, when an I'M
known twirler in the far northwest,
the major leagues had no interest for
him This fellow Gregg, who had such
big year in his debut as a major
Lacquer, is a funny chap. Nothing
worries him, he has supreme confidence
in his ability, and has the nerve which
only great pitchers possess.
The ball players like to work with
Gregg on the rubber. He Is always
generous to acknowledge the good plays
in his behalf, but never does he crit
icise, no matter how many bad errors
are made behind him. Instead of roast
ing the player who has just slipped up
Gregg offers words of encouragement
and works all the harder to get out of
the hole. I have often heard fans ex-
press the opinion that the Maps seem
TO play DelCef pail Denln0 Gregg than
any Of the other pitchers. I know they
perform better under such conditions
because they have confidence in the big
southpaw and are with him Washing
