GIRLS MOODS
By Mrs. Frank Learned.

BY MIS-. FRANK hedAheN'
(Author of etiquette of New York
Today.")
Moods of various sorts are not SO
rare in girls as most persons imagine
Girls are supposed 70 be the brightest.
cheeriest, happ;nest of beings, aud
many Of them are, but the tempera'
ments which are a prey to discourage
ment have to be reckOned with.
Very likely the girl who is lonely IN
spirit or discouraged in her efforts
fancies she is the only person In the
world so afflicted. Experience in life
has not yet shown her that we are all
of us subject TO moods, more or less.
Some have the power to dispel dis
heartening attacks by sheer buoyaney
of spirit which rebounds at the least
ray of sunshine. Others are plunged
in weary maze of worry by mere
word, or look, or criticism and they
fail to cultivate courage and joy, two
of the great things in life.
A lack of sympathetic understanding
from others is frequently at the root Of
girls moods For instance: A girl
may be in doubt as to her choice of a
vocation as a teacher because some one
has said, "You are just an ordinary
girl and can never do any but ordinary
things. If she can tell her thoughts
to a friend whose counsel is of value,
and get 4 responsive word of kindness,
how Guiclly the mood which fretted her
disappears.
The ordinary people in this world are
often doing brave, noble, useful work.
A girl may not have extraordinary pow
ers or remarkable intellect, but if her
intuition tells her she has chosen the
best course for career she need not
be dismayed. To aim high, to take
courage and then to pursue a chosen
work is way to happiness.
If a girl loves her work and is well
trained for it she will do well; but be-
yond the capabilities as teacher fol
importing knowledge she must have
high standards of truth, fithfulness tC
duty, responsibility in training the
minds and characters of children anl
helping them to develop what is best
in them. Then she will never be g
mere machine, but will realize her far
reaching opportunities for influencing
others for their good.
Sometimes a girl is troubled at noi
seeming to be popular. Perhaps shC
dcy otes more time to reading and study
than her friends and she may have t
bear teasing remarks. A girl is no
setting herself up as superior becaus,
her tastes are serious, but she SHOULD
not keep away from the society of 9th
ers.
/ 1t is natural and right for n girl t,
t care for social pleasures, but the nices
, girls are discriminating in their friend

The Cost Of Neglecting our Merchant Marine

Jena. Germany. OF course, these rates
are always the highest that the trade
will bear
Six per cent net is considered rea'
sonable profit upon investment OF
great sums of capital in this country
Yet the Hamburg American Steamship
Company admits a net profit of moro
than 10 per cent upon capitalization
of approximately s1OO,OOO,eOO. In fact,
the real net earnings of the Hamburg
company is said to be nearer to % per
cent annually. This tremendous prorit
is chiefly levied upon American COM
merce.
Not only are all freight and passen'
ger rates from this country to foreign
ports fixed by agreement by these for
eign combines, but these conferences
constantly discriminate against Ameri'
can commerce in all competitive mar
kets.
Take South America for illustration
The American shipper pays exactly
the same rate from this country to
South America on slow and antiquated
ships running at irregular intervals
that his European rival pays on fast
modern vessels running on regular
schedule. Now and then the European
shipper by secret arrangement secures
an advantage. Not only this, but the
European shipper is given an immense
advantage in promptness Of delivery.
Under no circumstances will these
foreign steamship combines permit al
advantage to the American shipper.
To illustrate: Brazil prefers oui
flour. She gave us an advantage Of
80 per cent over the other nations o.
the world in flour. Immediately thest
foreign shipping pools increased thu
freight rate on flour to just that ex
tent. Again we were given an advant
age of 20 per cent on cement. Imme
diately the freight rates between thi
country and South America on cemen
were increased over Europe until tn
European manufacturer controlled tn
market.
These are the deadly tactics follow
ed by these foreign steamship lines i
respect to every competitive articl
in which or country's products nigh
have an equal chance with foreign pre-
ducts. And all the while we 60 o
/ pouring our millions of servile tribut
: into the laps of the foreigners that 70
us.
! Yet because they are foreign con
panies we submit to this extOrtion an
defiance of our laws with an indiffel
ence and complacency that are coward
ly and shameful.
In the pending tariff bill an attemT
was made to at least express our righ
to favor our own ships. It is simply il
5 conceivable that an American congre'
1 should have been deferred by any sol
4 of influence from doing this and dOin
4 more!

WEIGHED.

A good story is told Of W. ]. Fox,
a free trade colleague of John Bright.
Fox was clever debater and unex-
celled in repartee. His chief heckler
in Oldham was a local baker, who once
had tho misfortune to be fined by the
magistrate for selling shOrt.weight
bread. Fox also had the misfortune to
separate from his wife. On one occa-
sion, after he had delivered an address
to his constituents, the baker got up
and said;
"Mr, Fox, there is just one question
/ should like to ask you. What has
become Of your wifef"
"sir," replied Fox, "she has been
weighed in the balance and found

BY John Temple Graves

It is estimated that for the fiscal
year ending June 30, the exports Of the
United States will reach the enormous
figure of s2,4OO,OOO,OOO, and that the
balance of trade in our favor will ap-
proximate $675,OOO,OOO-a sum never
before equaled upon the balance sheet
of nations.
These figures are tribute to our ma
tional greatness and prosperity. They
carry also a serious reflection upon our
national enterprise and distinct hui
initiation to our national pride.
For of all this mighty commerce over
seas less than per cent was trans
ported under the American flag. This
magnificent balance of our trade is al
most cut in two by the enormous sums
we pay to foreign ships to carry our
own produce to the markets Of the
world.
More than $75O,OOO,OOO of foreign
capital is today invested in foreign
yards building ships to transport the
commerce we furnish.
More than 100000 is paid each day
to foreigners building and operating
foreign ships to carry the trade of our
country. Of this 100000 daily paid
90 per cent goes to foreign labor.
This $1,OOO,OOO each day should be
given to the American laborer and kept
at home to do American business in
stead of going abroad to feed foreign
labor and to enrich our commercial ri
walls.
This is but a single phase Of the in
jury we suffer from having no ships
Of our own. Our stupendOus foreign
trade is made in the face Of the great
est obstacles. It would easily double
within the next five years if we had
our own ships--Our own delivery wag'
Ons-tO carry on trade to our Gus
toners.
The rate paid by every passenger and
by every pound of freight going from
any port of this country to any foreign
port is fived in advance by agreement
among foreign steamship combines ant
conferences. If an American shipper
desires to send bushel of wheat or {
bale of cotton or Of any other produc
to Europe he must pay the rate fixet
in advance by the trust in Hamburg
Germany. If an American merchan
wishes to send a barrel Of flour or o
cement or a piece of machinery or an!
freight to South America he must wal
until the foreign steamship combine il
this country can ascertain from Eu
rope what price must be charged fo
carrying it.
Not an American vessel runs from
this country directly to South Americi
beyond the equator.
Every American citizen that crosse
the Atlantic or goes to South Americt
must pay the rate that the foreigl
steamship combine fixes in advance il

MRS. LYNCH SAYS

Matron Ordinance Over Veto
Of Mayor Tonight.

Arguments pro and con, and even a
few wagers are being made as to wheth'
er or not Mrs. Leila s. Lynch will re-
main in the office of police matron in
Salem or whether that office will be
done way entirely.
This matters comes up before the city
fathers this evening in the form Of a
veto attached to bill for an ordinance
introduced by Councilman Turner to
abolish that department of police. May
or Sleeves will tonight veto the bill,
notwithstanding that nine Of the four
teen eouncilmen supported it, and it
now requires but one more vote to
carry the veto over the city's chief ex'
ecutive's head. Unless one of those
supporting the mayors contention see
iii to switch over, the office will be
maintained. Those voting against the
bin to abolish the office were Council
men Minton, Jones, Rigdon, Cummings
and Macy, and in the event one OF
these men sees fit to change his vote
there win be no further need Of po-
lice matron in Salem, for the time being
at least.

DENIES MINIMUM WAGE.

President Macbeth of the park board
announced that his board will not abide
by the city attorneys opinion, recently
given, which sustains the city ordinance
requiring the park board to pay a mini
mum wage of $3.50 a day to all laborers
employed upon it's work.
The board is now paying 1925 day.
and when work begins on the roads
forming the city's mountain park sys-
tenn, some of the labor used in Jefferson
county, it is said, can be obtained for
$1.5O a day. The board objects to being
obliged to pay $3.50 when it can get it's
work done for $1.50.
The councils ordinance was not ac-
cepted by the park board, and the valid
ity of the measure went to the city at
torney. The board asserted that the or
dinance interfered with it's rights under
the charter. City Attorney Bryant up
held the ordinance. Auditor Markey
then held up the pay of the employees in
the park boards Office until the dispute
could be adjusted.
=. The passage of the mountain parks
bill by the legislature brought the park
scheme prominently before the board
Tuesday and plans were discussed for
the immediate start of the work. Be-
cause of the prospect of getting some
labor for $1.50 day in Jefferson county,
the board decided to resist the city or
dinance regarding the minimum wage.

COURT ORDER VIOLATED.

Chicago-A petition asking that the

Brothers company, Ernest r. Graham,
an architect, and Simon ODonnell,
James Short and A. c. Dougherty, union
labor leaders, show cause why they
should not be punished for contempt of
court, was filed here Tuesday in the cir
cult court.
The petitioner is the Chicago branch
of the Journeymen Stone Cutters asso-
citation of North America, an organiza-
ton not affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor.
The petition charges conspiracy to ef-
feet the discharge by the Norcross
Brothers company of all its employees
who belonged to the Independent union,
this action being allegedly in violation
of a court order.
The Thompson-Starrett company, as
contractor for the new building of the
Field museum in Chicago, sublet the
cutting of the marble to the Norcross
Brothers company, which concern has
it's chief works in Tate, Ca, and en-
ployed members of the Journeymen
Stone Cutters association of North
America. Because of this a strike was
called against buildings under construc-
tion here of which Graham was archi
tect and the Thompson-Starrett com
pany contractors. Hearing was set for

RAILWAY MEN FEDERArINe.
Action Is Necessary to Prevent Disrup
tion Of Unions.

Railroad men in the employ of lines
entering Colorado are holding series
of union meetings with the ultimate pur
pose of forming a state or district feder
alton of engineers, firemen, conductors
and trainmen. The third meeting was
held Monday afternoon in Odd Fellows
hall and upwards of 200 men in all
branches of the service were represent
ed.
The federation is to. be formed to deal
with local problems affecting the inter
ests of the men. 1t is to follow the plan
adopted in other parts of the country
and means that the four powerful rail
way organizations are to act together
in presenting local grievances to the
companies Half dozen western states
were represented ct Mondays meeting.
Leaders of the movement state that
the men have been forced to federate
because of recent unfair treatment OF
railroad officials 1t is claimed that on
most of the roads of the West men are
being discharged by the wholesale for
trivial offenses and infractions of the
rules formerly overlooked. In some OF
the western states men who have been
prominent in Legislative work have been
discharged.
1t is charged that the roads are put
ting into effect new rules almost daily
which are designed solely to give the
officials a chance to discharge men VINO
are personally obnoxious to the minor
officials or who are Instrumental in hay-
ing laws passed which prove costly to
the companies. Many instances of
threats on the part of Colorado railroad
officials to get" leaders in legislative
work were cited by leaders
1t is probable that every one OF the
railway brotherhoods in Colorado VIII
elect salaried legislative representa-
tive to work for laws designed to bene'
fit railroad men not only while the leg
islature is in session, but during the
whole year.

Antwerp and West Flanders showed a
total of 256,OO0 strikers. In Antwerp
and West Flanders, where the Social,

These figures vary somewhat from the

F,ReMen DELAY WAGE DEMANDS

Firemen on western railroads have de-
cided to postpone presenting their de-
mands for increased wages and better
working conditions until after the bien-
NAL convention in June The action was
taken because it is customary for the
president and other high officials OF the
railway brotherhoods to conduct the ne
gotiations with the railroads In person.
Another reason given by the western
firemen is because their officers are tied
up with the big eastern wage movement.
The firemen recently took referen-
dunn vote on every railroad west OF the
Illinois Central, as to whether they
should demand higher wages. the vote
was in favor of the demands. 1t is
thought that 1t will be early fall before
action is taken. All railroads entering
Denver will be affected.

nent labor men taking such action are
many in the building trades, including

Phillips for several years and finds his

taken under the leadership of Professor
Phillips.

would not make a mistake by retaining

mine whether the rates fixed by the

some difficulty in finding an expert en-

THE trouble said Chairman Sch1r-

of sufficient knowledge and experience
and standing who is not in the employ
or affiliated in some way with the Bell

The audit of the books is under way
and this work is expected to take sew
