Ashland Would Be
Good Recruiting City

Police Chief Porter believes if the
government needs troops Ashland
would be a good place to establish
recruiting station. Since the first
OF January Chief Porter and his men
have handled almost three thousand
wayfarers: over eight hundred have
been housed and passed on during the
past month.
While there are only two men on
the force in addition to the chief, the
wayfarers have been handled without
trouble. The travelling idlers have
learned that Ashland is a splendid
place TO be good in, and the police
department have handled them with
ont gloves when occasion demanded.
The railroad detective assists the
local force only in keeping the men
off the right of way, the local force
being compelled to keep them housed
at night and feed them in the morn
ing.

The thermometer dropped to 30 in
Ashland Friday morning and in the
valley as low as %. No damage was

PRESIDENT AND CANAL.
Election Returns Show People Opposed
to Free Tolls Repeal.
(Goodwin's Weekly

| In considering the election returns
+ we hope that President Wilson VIII
linger a moment over the fact that
possibly the wound he gave to Ameri-
can coast shipping may have been a
factor He appealed to his obedient
congress to lay tolls upon American
coast shipping as due to the honor or
our country. His real reason, the one
he gave to the reporters, was that II
the coast shipping was made exempt,
insomuch as they received thereby the
amount was indirect subsidy, which
is repugnant to American democratic
craftsmanship.
/ Now, the average American intellect
may be dull, but it could never figure
out what especial interest any foreign
power had in the regulation Of Ameri-
can commerce between American ports
in connection with an American canal
in the profit or loss of that canal.
Further, as to the indirect subsidy,
most Americans know that the right of
American ships to the commerce be-
tween American ports, the exclusive
right was guaranteed them something
like century ago. and 1t is due to
that right that we have any merchant
marine at all.
/ Hence they will not believe that our
government deliberately aimed blow
at that trade through solemn treaty
with an outside power.
! Again, they are not too dull to see
that if the presidents reasoning, about
their receiving an indirect subsidy
holds good the next step will natur-
ally be as to demand the repeal of the
ancient law which gives to our ships
exclusively the ocean trade between
American ports, for is not keeping
away competing ships in that trade as
much an indirect subsidy as 1t is to
pass them through the canal free?
Most Americans are anxious to at
least keep what shipping we now pos
sess.
