SKILLED sEAMEN SCARCE.

Washington-The lives of seamen are
largely obscured from the public view,
the very nature of the occupation de-
priving this important class. of laboring
men from coming under the scrutiny
which is possible in commercial enter
prises conducted on land. Maritime laws
and regulations relative to seamen are
largely relics of an almost prehistoric
period, and while progress in humanl-
tartan legislation has been marked IN lts
effect in the interest of landsmen, yet
the men of the sea have been deemed
| unworthy of scarcely any recognition.
This fact has been the direct cause OF
driving the intelligent and skilled sea-
men into other vocations, until TO-DAY the
| vast shipping facilities are manned ny
an army of incompetents. The Tltanic
disaster not only shocked the entlre
world with its tremendous needless loss
of life, but also staggered the thought-
| full when the story OF inexperienced sea
manship came to light
recent cable dispatch from London,
| in commenting upon this condition OF al
fairs, says that "the need OF large IN.
crease in the personnel of the Royal
Navy, emphasized in recent speecnes OIL
the first lord, and the shortage OF men
| in the mercantile marine trained In the
arts of seamanship, which has Deen
made evident in recent disasters TO mer-
chant shipping in England, and empha-
sized in Lord Mersey's recommendation
lend special interest to the national con-
ference on sea training which is to meet
on Trafalgar Day, October 21.
This conference has been summoned
| by the national committee on sea tram
ing. and the interest being taken is wide
spread. No other class of workmen nave
been subjected to the severe conditions
imposed upon the seamen, and with the
reawakening of the public conscience,
coming as it did, largely through Ia
mentable tragedy, there is confident
hope that the involuntary servitor OF the
sea may have restored to him his nat
ural and normal rights as human De-
ing, and thus beckon back to that an
cient calling men of intelligence, Drawn
and nerve.

coNceoE ONE sArrLEsHIP.

Washington-In the early stages oi
consideration of the naval appropriation
bill, the majority of the house decided
to abandon the building of any more
battleships. When the bill went to the
senate provision was inserted calling
for two battleships. Immediately there
commenced agitation among the house
members to secure the acceptance OF
the senates two-battleship program. Ow-
ing to the geographical location OF many
congressional districts, partisan lines
began to crumble, and finally caucus
of the majority party in the house de
cided to meet the senate half way and
agree to the authorization of one battle
ship in the naval appropriation bill now
before congress. The house on Satur-
day, August II, sent the naval bill back
to conference with the one-battleship
provision.

Mr. Ammons has lived in Colorado the
greater part of his life. He is a graduate
of the Denver high school of the class of
1880, and has devoted all of his life to
the upbuilding of the agricultural and
live stock interests in Colorado. For the
past eight years he has given over half
of his time, without remuneration of
any kind. to the work of agricultural
education, and it was through his efforts
that the National Western Stock Show
was inaugurated in Denver and has been
built up into the great institution it now
United labor bulletin., 1912-08-29

public life and in the organization of
the agricultural interests, he has thor
oughly demonstrated his administrative
ability. AS citizen, and a man of un-
blemished character and integrity, he is
the peer of any man in this state. He is
man who is right by instinct and has
the confidence of the stockmen and
farmers, and of every businessman and
citizen who knows him.
Above all, we desire to commend Mr..
Ammons to the voters of this state be-
cause of his intense loyalty to Colorado.
Because of that loyalty he has become
known, not only in Colorado, but
throughout the nation, in his earnest and
courageous fight against the attempt to
saddle upon Colorado (under the fair
name of conservatory system of
landlordism which would prevent the
development of our natural resources
and continue over half of the state as
non-taxable property.
We believe that if the voters select
E. NJ. Ammons as governor for the next
tive years, they will never have cause to
regret their action, and that he will give
to Colorado a sane, business-like and
economical administration that will
bring prosperity and tend to state pro-
gress and business activity.

There were two settlements among the Nevada silver mines iu which from the first was a rivalry. These were the Quartz Gulch and the Pine Flat peO- ple. Both were a bad lot. The Quartz Butchers had one good man among them. while the Pine F.atters were all bad. The good man at Quartz Gulch wasn't good because he was naturally inclined that way. but because be own Vd rroper1y in the Gulch that he would like to make valuable, and he was pre- vented from d0inE SD by the reputa- ton os the town.

THE COUNCIL AND MAYOR

because Of the bnsinesslike manner
of your administration" were the
words in the petition signed by prac-
tieally all Of the voters of the city,
who asked Mayor Banchar to allow
his name used IN the coming election
that he might continue as executive
head of the city's affairs. The short
phrase is very expressive. The admin
istration of Mayor Blanchar and the
councIlmen with whom he has worked,
as we'll as all other city officials, has
drawn the city from entanglements
that have hampered its progress for a
number of years. BY thoughtful, bus
nesslike methods the water bonds have
been sold and the proceeds ready for
disposal in constructing the municipal
system. Mayor Banchar, who is con-
versant with all the details of the
work necessary to the completion of
the plant, can better carry out the
plans proposed by the city for the com
ing year than any one, perhaps, that
could be named for the place.

HOME MINISTRIES DAY

Real live oregonians will feast OF
Oregon produced foods and wear Ore

While the rantings Of some, who with
all feryor possible, both in their writ
ten expressions and with the spoder
word Of mouth, urge the Made in

times absurd, we cannot over estimate
the need Of a home consumption Of

lied effort to bring before the people
the need Of aud benefits to be derived
from home consumption of homemade
goods is to be commended.
The asme pprinciple may be found to
be involved in the support Of home

the business men Of your home city
helps just so much with the progress Of
your community.
