LET GOVERNMENT BUY THE SHIPS

Of late years our government has not hesitated to mix
directly in the affairs of the people. 1t is regulating the
finances and business of the great trunk railroads, at least
so far as to try to unearth their stealing and to limit rates.
1t has spread its s~heltering blanket over tens of mil
lions of frontier acres to see that the men of the frontier
are shut out from trying to make a living from any DORM
ant resource that they may contain.
1t passes laws to kill many prosperous enterprises in
our country, that the men who work half naked serfs in
foreign countries may do we'll. 1t digs a canal to connect
(the worlds two greatest oceans for the benefit of the out
side worlds commerce and to accentuate the benefit to out
siders aims a body blow at our own coast shipping.
For the benefit of foreign ship-owners it has caused
the people of this country to pay a sum annually to those
foreigners which has annually for the past forty years
been sufficient to buy a Dutch republic.
The excuse has been either that we must protect our
own people or do nothing to tarnish our national honor.
Now Great Britain and nearly all continental Europe
is involved in a devastating war and the worlds commerce
has practically gone into retirement. In the meantime
while the harvests of Europe are being trodden down, our
harvest is growing musty in the country's granaries and
warehouses, and the farmers and the whole country are
suffering for the money. The thing needed first is ships,
and second, that the ships if obtained, may be able to sail
the seas undisturbed.
Why does not the government go a step further, buy
and sail the ships. That would prevent danger from en-
counter with foreign warships. The knowledge that the
United States had bought and was sailing the ships would
make them immune against attack. 1t would not only in
sure the moving of the crops, but it would demonstrate

to the government the cost of running ships engaged in
commerce. 1t would, moreover, restore the old flag to the
seas. The cost of buying the ships could easily be ar
ranged. All that would be needed would be to issue a few
millions more bonds. That is what is always done when
the government needs large money.
There would be no trouble about securing command
es for the ships. The fleet that is lying in the roadstead
of Vera Cruz waiting to see which Mexican murderer
and robber shall get the best of all the other murderers
and robbers down there, could send up officers and engl-
neers enough to handle the merchant ships.
And the need is urgent. Business is congested all over
the country, the money for the wheat and cotton is want
ed; the extraordinary issue of emergency money Will not
help those who have not Sufficetn means to supply Ce
needed security. Prompt work is in order and 1t must be
in a way so open and fair and conclusive that there should
be no delays and no uncertainty about the work when
done.
But on both coasts we have many s~hipyards. In every
one the hammers should be ringing night and day IN build
ing ships of large carrying capacity with arrangements
for only a few passengers in each for sea travel Will be
much abridged for a year or two.
When ocean commerce stops, the world is practically
stopped, that is the business world upon which men de-
pend for not only prosperity but for a living.
Our country needs it less than the others, but harvests
must be moved or industries on a thousand lines Will be
forcedto close down, and a nation filled with idle and des-
perate men is worse off than a nation at war.
Europe wants our bread, and all manner OF foods that
can be transported, the world needs our cotton and many
forms of manufactured wares in which our artisans excel
in making. We have a vast army of idle men who need
work. The building and sailing of the ships would engage
a full million of these, in the mines, in the reduction works,
in the rolling mills, in the %shipyards and out at sea navigat-
ing the ships.
Not too large ships can speedily be constructed, and
they are sadly needed now. While the eastern world is
fighting our people should all be at work. This is the
thought of the people and that thought ought to rule in a
republic like ours.-Goodwin's Weekly.
A seed house in Indiana makes a glowing offer of
"Marvelous" wheat. The statements are very cunning
and plausible, and would lead a farmer to think the wheat
is sure to yield so bushels per acre from little more than.
a peck of seed. We have had many letters from farmers
that this Marvellous is the old Miracle wheat which
was doomed so freely few years ago. 1t is a good wheat
probably a strain of Fulcaster-but it is incapable of
making the great yields which are claimed for it, by this
firm. 1t is sold by reputable seed growers at a fair price,
but buyers are told that it is nothing more than a good
wheat, and that htey should use at least one bushel of
seed per acre. The advice to use one peck only is nonsense
under general conditions.

night told a dramatic story of Great
Britain's latest naval disaster. Their
story establishes these facts:
The Audacions was crippled by the
explosion of floating mine which it
struck.
At the time of the disaster the Au-
dacious was not cruising alone, but
several other big warships of the Brit
ash navy were in the vicinity.
The battleship was blown up and
sunk by the British cruiser Liverpool
when it became apparent the vessel
was hopelessly crippled and the eff
forts of the Olympic to tow it into
shoal waters had failed. This was
done to remove danger to navigation
caused BY the floating hull
The Audacious was completed in
1913, with her sister ship, the Ajax,
and was a dreadnaught of the King
George class. Her displacement was
: 20, 200 tons, her length over all SOC
feet. She was equipped with ten 1917
inch guns, 20 four-inch guns and three
S1-inch torpedo tubes.
