REVIVE OUR MERCHANT MARINE

AS we approach the opening of the
Panama Canal, we are forcibly reminded
of our utter lack of a merchant marine
Half a century and more ago, nearly 30
per cent of our foreign trade was car
ried in ships flying the American fac.
In 1910 this had dwindled to only per
cent.
/ Of the 90 per cent, the greater part is
shipped in vessels belonging to England
and Germany. A war, therefore, be-
tween those two nations-an event for
which we on this side can see no neces-
sity, but of which the newspapers of
those countries persist in talking
mean that most all our exports afloat
would Immediately become contraband.
The English would capture and seize as
many German merchantmen as possible,
and the Germans would do the same to
vessels flying the English flag. As no
insurance could be had, or only at pro-
hibitive rates, the result would be an
immediate shutting down on our export
trade. The merchantmen of neutral ma
lions would naturally then become our
carriers to larger extent than at pres
ent, and, loaded with our exports clear
ing for other countries than those at
! war, would doubtless be immune, though
! always subject to the annoyance of being
stopped and searched Under most favor
able conditions. however, it will readily
De seen to what extent we should be the
losers.
Already our manufacturers are seek
ing export trade, and in the next ten
years this branch Of business is going to
enlist the services of our brightest cap
tains of industry. We have much to
learn foreign languages, foreign re-
quirements, and foreign methods of doing
business. That the American young
business man will enter his new work
with the same impetuous, unsparing and
confident spirit with which he has solved
other new and difficult problems, there
is no doubt. But in it all he will meet
with a great handicap, unless there can
be revival of our merchant marine.
Aud to this end we are all vitality inter-
ested, the farmer, the country merchant,
the banker, the manufacturer. None
; but would share in the upbuilding
; of our exports; hence the individual citi-
zen at large, even though thousand
miles from salt water, has positive,
personal interest in revived American
shipping. III. H. Windsor in the Febru-
airy Popular Mechanics Magazine.

THE SHIPS THAT HAVE GONE.
The Names of Many are Only Remember.
ed by the Few Old-time Masters and Of
fcers Who Still Live.

The passing of the full-rigged ship is
subject that has for years received con-
siderable attention in the public prints,
and whereas in former years our ports
harbored large numbers of full-rigged
ships, several years now frequently pass
without one arrival For instance, the
first vessel of this kind to enter Boston
harbor in seven years was the Aryan,
which arrived there this fall. Such
names as the Edward O'Brien, ]. B.
Walker, Julian P. Thomas, Wandering
Jew, William H. Conner, Samaria, Gov
ernor Robe, Abner Coburn, Ell Captain,
James Drummond, bring to old-timers
many recollections of the past, but none
of these vessels sail the seas now, and
the few that are left of later fleet have
as rule been converted into cargo
barges and are towed along the coast.
In 1908 there remained on this coast
twenty-four full-rigged ships. Of these
the Arthur Sewall, Bangalore, Tillie E.
Starbuck, and S. p Hitchcock have
been lost. The Shenandoah, BENJAMIN
F. Packard, E. B. Sutton, Kenilworth,
Atlas, Astral, Great Admiral, l. F.
Chapman, and Joseph P. Thomas have
been sold to be converted into barges or
fishing craft. The Glory of the Seas, an
old American clipper which for forty
years sailed the ocean under the Stars
and Stripes, was sold some time ago to
Capt. Mcdonald, who placed her under
the Uruguayan flag to carry hardwood
cargoes in the South Seas. There are
still few of the more modern fleet left,
however, such as the Acme, Erskine M.
Phelps, Edward Sewall, w. F. Babcock,
Dirigo, and William P. Frye, but it will
not be long before they too will succumb
to the march of progress and changing
conditions in the carrying trade from
port to port.
The full-riggers had their day, and
glorious day it was. No matter how
magnificent the ships that come after
them, how large or how speedy, they
will never outweigh in interest. romance,
or value in their time the ships that sail
ed the seas when traffic between the Old
and the New World was young, when
the winds of heaven were the sole pro-
pelling power, and which element was so
well understood and mastered by the
old-time shippers. The Marine Journal.

MRS. MCKINNEY OF JACKMAN HAS
GOOD MEMORY.
IThe Independent Reporter. ]

TThe Independent Reporter.J
Mrs. Patrick Mckinney Of Jackman,
who is 80 years old, walked 4 miles to the
nome of neighbor recently, and after
reaching there she recited the poem
The Orphans Prayer" from memory,
which she had learned when 10 years of
age. Mrs. McKenney was the mother
Of 10 children, II of whom are living.
The poem will doubtless prove of much
interest to the older readers of our paper
and is reproduced as follows:
THE ORPHANS PRAYER
knew a widow very poor,
Who four small children had,
The eldest was but six years old,
A gentle modest lad.
And very hard this widow toiled,
To feed her children four;
And honest pride this woman felt,
Though she was very poor.
To labor she would leave her home,
For children must be fed;
And glad was she when she could get,
A shilling's worth of bread.
One day, when snow was falling fast,
And piercing was the air,
thought that would go and see,
How these poor children were.
Ere long reached the cherries home,
Searched by every breeze,
When going in, the eldest child
1 found upon his knees.
stopped and listened to the boy,
He never raised his head.
But still went on and said,
Give 1s this dav daily bread
I waited till the child was done.
Still listening as he prayed,
When he arose asked him why.
The Lords Prayer he had said.
Why sir, said he, this morning,
When my mother went away,
She wept because she said
She had no bread for US today.
She said we children now must starve,
Our father being dead,
And then told her not to cry,
For could get some bread.
Our Father, sir, the prayer began,
What made me think, that he,
As we have got no father here,
Would our kind father be-
And then you heard the prayer, sir,
To ask God for bread each day,
In the C, rner, sir, wept,
And that's what made me pray
quickly left the wretched room,
And went with fleeing feet;
And very soon was back again,
With food enough to eat.
l thought God heard me, said the boy, '.sa'
answered with nod, --.ra
l could not speak, but much 1 thought
OF that child's faith in God.
