THE PORCH SWING
ny GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old Siwash."

In spite of the vast growth Of the
automobile business. the porch swing
continues TO be the great American
vehicle for summer use.
A million Americans climb into auto
mobiles on each hot evening and career
gayly through space and other automo-
biles. But ten million Americans sit in
porch swings after supper is over and
watch them.
The porch swing costs about as much
as an automobile cushion and can be
set up and operated by a mere novice
in mechanics. A porch swing built for
two can be operated from p. m. until
father comes down in his shirt and
trousers early the next morning and at
the end Of that time the total expense
for tires. gasoline, fines. and storage will
be 00O0a
Millions of porch swings are carrying
the people Of this country. hither and
yon each evening, and are landing them
at home each evening without any
trouble with the police or anything but
minor breakdowns. A porch swing can
be bought on installments like an auto
mobile. but the buyer does not have to
mortgage his home In order to do 1t.
A good strong, three-passenger porch
swing with anti-tumble chains. deep
easy cushions. and two speeds. one for
ward and one reverse, can be bought
for $500. and cents worth of lubricat-
ing oil will run 1t ten years.
There are many Americans who look
upon the porch swing with scorn and de-
clare that it doesn't get the passenger
anywhere. However, it must be said
that the porch swing always gets its
home. 1t is also alleged that
the scenery from the deck OF the porch
swing becomes monotonous very quickly.

Good Educator, but Poor Economist.

1t is alarming TO contemplate what
might happen, if the theory PROFOUND
ed by DR.. David Starr Jordan. presi-
dent of Leland Stanford, Jr, Univer-
sity, would be adopted. The learned
doctor is in Europe, teaching a new
doctrine that might lead TO serious
consequences. He addressed a gather
ing at the home of the Duchess of
Marlborough and discussed the ecu
genics of war" He told his hearers
that a nation should send its little
men to war and save the big ones. His
idea is that the undesirables should be
sacrificed rather than the fttest. He
said: IF a nation disposes in war of
its men over six feet high, in time it
will not have any men over six feet
high. There is not a nation which
is today what it might have been if it
had chosen its best men for survival
instead of for slaughter
If the policy of choosing the best
men for survival, instead of slaughter,
were to be followed, the question of
what constitutes the qualifications that
would entitle man to be in the best"
class, would be very important. 1t
also would be largely matter of opin-
ion. For there is no telling what pol
itirianS anxious TO stay in office
might do.

STRIKERS THREATEN

ing Mine Property and Com
pany Of6cials.

Calumet. Mich, July 2s.-The strike
situation in the copper regions is more
strained than at any time since the
several shafts tonight. when men were
sent down to man the pumps. Soldiers
dispersed the mobs of strikers. Many
threats have been made against the
militiamen and especially those living
in this district. and scores of soldiers
have been stoned by persons supposed
to be strike sympathizers.
Anthony Borsch, a private. who IS
also a mine timber boss. has received
threat that his head will be cut of
after the strike is settled. David Onk-
ka. a private, reported tonight that
his widowed mother had been threat
ened.
The first men went below the surface
at Calumet tonight Others will go be-
low in most of the shafts in this district
tomorrow. There Is 800 feet of water in
the deepest shafts. il was said tonight.
and it will require about forty-eight
hours to get the pumps into working
shape.
The mining companies have asked for
protection OF troops for their men. both
while at work and going to and from
work. Protection for the mems families
also has been asked All mines are still
strongly picketed by the strikers. Sew
eral clashes between troops and strikers
occurred today. Three hundred strikers
attempted to march upon the residence
of General Manager Denton. of the Cop
per Range Consolidated Mine at Baltic.
Troops interfered. Later. at Isle Royal.
II was necessary to fire volley over the
heads Of the strikers in order to dispense
them.

President Grover Cleveland. Is now be-
ing run by two Baltimore rivals-Herman
Stump and H. Gordon Ewing.
The young men are both about twenty
one years old. Mr.. Ewing's friends seem
to think that he runs the better chance
of winning the fair prize, and. as evil
dence of this fact, they advance the
point that, whereas both Of the young
men We're for a time the guests at Miss

Both wooers are members Of the senior
class at Princeton University. which IS
in the town where the white House

Cleveland is twenty years old. She made
her formal debut last october in Prince
ton, when her mother gave brilliant
entertainment in her honor.
The rivals have been friends for years,
knowing each other before entering col

Public Hearings.

The new District Commissioners
have acted wisely in deciding upon a
frequency of public hearings. In a
system of government like the one
which prevails here, it is important
that the views of the people should be
made known upon important questions.
The Commissioners are not omniscient.
They can only obtain knowledge by
opening every possible avenue through
which information can reach them. and
the more that they become acquainted
with the sentiments and needs of every
class and section, the better will they
be fitted for efficient administration.
The Commissioners and the commu-
nifty will benefit by this program of
public hearings.

The Anti-Sulzer Deadlock.

The Legislature of New York, which
reconvened last week, being under the
dictation of Tammany, openly boasts
that it will pass laws over the Gov
ernor's veto; that it will pass pri-
mary bill which will suit Murphy,
and that it will remain in session until
December 81 of the current year, so
as to interfere with the Governors ap-
pointments. If the Legislature does
this, either by adjourning from month
to month, or by holding daily sessions
attended by only enough members to
contribute quorum, the Governor will
be unable to remove heads of depart
ments favorable to Tammany and 20
fill the places with recess appointees
favorable to reform.

BURLESON CRITICISED
FOR new Regulation
Parcel Post Extension Of Postmaster
General Causes Ire Of Senator
Bryan Of Florida.
COMMITTEE MAY CENSURE

There was furry yesterday in the
Senate Committee on Postoffices and
Post Roads, when Senator Bryan of
Florida announced his intention of ask
ing the committee to adopt a resolution
practically censuring the Postmaster
General for changing the form OF stamps
on parcel post packages and increasing
the maximum weight OF such packages
to be carried in first and second zones
from eleven pounds to twenty pounds.
As the resolution was worded it
proposed to allow the action of the
Postmaster General already taken to
stand. although 1t carried an implied
challenge Of his authority to make
the new order, but the important part
of the resolution was a declaration of
policy by Congress forbidding the Post
master General to make any further
notifications in the regulations with
out consulting Congress.
Senator Bryan's resolution of censor
was read before the committee, but
action on IL was deferred. and the
committee adjourned until tomorrow.
Senator Bryan was in a belligerent
mood. and declared that unless the
committee acted on his resolution IA
vorably he would take the matter on
the floor of the Senate.

Two Important Bills.

There are pending before the Senate
two constructive bills of pressing ne
cessity.. which have to take back seat
Until the Senate has finished the tariff
debate and the House decides what to
do with the currency bill.
One of these measures is the New
lands bill for Federal control and reg
ulation of the waterways with a view
of preventing disastrous floods. The
other is the so-called Poindexter bill
for the development of Alaska by gov
eminent ownership.
The Newlands bill has been before
Congress several years. Its central
idea is that a navigable stream must
be regarded as a unit from its source
TO its mouth. That is 10 say. neither
the system of demonstration alone nor
the maintenance of slack water dams
nor the building of levees will prove
sufficient to keep a stream within
bounds, meaning that stream regula-
ton is a question OF all these three
things combined. The carrying out of
the provisions of this bill would be a
tremendous one for the government,
requiring the expenditure of millions
OF dollars annually until the completion
OF the work, and then millions moIe
for maintenance. Senator Newlands
realizes all this, but nevertheless he is
pressing for early consideration.
The Poindexter bill has the disad-
vantage OF being relatively unfamiliar
proposition from the viewpoint OF the
Senate. The idea of government own
ership OF railroads in Alaska has made
much Roadway in administration circles
recently. But the bill goes a great deal
further. 1t also provides for govern
ment ownership of public utilities. in
Guiding telegraph and telephone lines.
The measure, in fact, proposes an eco
noric system unlike any ever proposed
before. The most important item is
that of conditional compensation" or,
in other words, proft-sharing device
an employee is TO receive not
less than half of the fund, according to
his pay. that otherwise would go to
pay dividends. Lastly, the government
is charged with operating coal mines
and to regulate, by actual competition.
the entire industrial development OF
the Territory
1t is being suggested on the hill that
the task of carrying out provisions of
a bill as the above should be given to
a man of the caliber of Col. Goethals,
whose fine work in Panama has won
for him universal applause.

TUESDAY. JULY %. 1913.
Imports in Bond.

The Democrats in the Senate have
agreed that they will support the tariff
bill as approved by their caucus, and
vote down any amendment to it OF
fered in the Committee OF the Whole
or in the Senate 1t is hoped that
there will be some way discovered 10
qualify this position of infallibility.
Millions OF dollars worth of goods are
now stored in our government ware
houses at ports OF entry awaiting the
lower rates of the Underwood Sim
mons bill To remedy this situation,
Senator Sutherland has offered the fol-
lowing amendment:
Strike ont subdivision Q of Section
V and insert in lieu thereof the fol-
lowing:
Q. That all goods. wares. and mer-
chandise imported prior to the day
when this act shall go into effect. for
which no entry has been made. and all
goods, wares, and merchandise pre-
viously entered without payment of
duty and under bond for warehousing,
transportation, or any other purpose.
for which no permit OF delivery to the
importer or his agent has been issued,
shall be subj TO the duties now
in force upon the entry or the with
drawal thereof.
By this amendment. goods now in
bond will be forced to pay the rates
of duty in force at the time they were
placed in bond
At the present time there is over
100000 worth of merchandise in
government warehouses. the larger
part of which is held there simply with
the view of benef;ing by the lower
rates. The revenue from these goods
under the present law would be about
S35yooo,ooo. The government is entitled
TO this revenue, and the Sutherland
amendment will secure it.
There is a further reason for this
amendment. If conditions are I'M
changed, there will be a food of goods
into the United States upon the enact
lllCHl VI lilC llGN tdl III ldN. WHICH Will
swamp our markets. The disturbance
that will be caused by the new tariff
rates will at best be great, and any
thing that will make the transition
easier is comnendable.
When Senator Sutherland offered his
amendment in the Senate, it plainly ap-
pealed to some Democrats. Instead OF
letting it lie on the table, Senator
Stone asked that it be referred to the
Finance Committee If this committee
reports it favorably the congested con-
dition of the government warehouses
will be relieved Immediately. the gov
eminent will get its revenue, and an
excessive amount of goods will not be
dumped upon the American market.
Such an amendment as that offered
by Senator Sutherland was not needed
in the Payne-Aldrich act of 1909. since
the rates were substantially the same
as in the Dingley law, but the situa-
ton is fundamentally different at the |
present time The amendment should |
be made a part of the new tariff act.
