those not the least intelligent. The
counting or rejecting Of ballots on
technicalities may, and often does, de-
feat the intent of the voter. There
are errors In returns that in the last

noted the decline of the spell-binder as
political influence. Secretary Bryan was
sent to Maine to aid the Democratic
party in special election with his So
called ''matchless eloquence," but his
speech in this city fell fiat and if it had
any effect it was to turn voters to the
opposing party. The campaig ign orators
who could make converts to their cause
have been few, very few. Conspicuous
among them was the late Senator Will
liam P. Frye. When he addressed a
meeting he invited questions from the
audience and stated his positions fairly
without abuse of those holding different
opinions. Democrats remained to hear
him through and many would remark,

ceeding administrations, until the pres
ent, continued the work. In the diplo-

having competent men to represent this
country abroad was recognized and we
had a corps of trained diplomats, who

son administration has undone all that
had been accomplished in this direction.
Competent men have been retired to be

cal work and who were not only without

case it was necessary to recall an ap-

that the flag should protect the Ameri-
can citizen wherever he might be has
been abandoned, and refugees from
Mexico who applied to the administra-
ton for redress were told they had no
business down there; that they only went
to Mexico to make money and must run

WHERE FREE SHIPS FAIL.

Three months of actual test of the wide
omen free ship policy of the Wilson Ad-
m1nist ration has brought several inter-
esting facts to light.
One is that the free ship policy is not
destined to have any important effect
upon the regular-line carrying trade be-
tween the Atlantic coast and Europe.
Although several of the transatlantic
lines are partly or largely owned by
American capital, not one transatlantic
passenger and freight ship or large cargo
ship has applied for the American flag
under the very liberal new legislation
which releases such ship from the re-
quirement to carry American officers
and to comply with our inspection and
measurement laws. We have actually
favored foreign ships over American
ships in this new legislation of the pres
ent Congress, and yet it has utterly fall
ed to bring over so much as one transat-
lantic liner or to give any promise OF
substantial American participation IN
the great transatlantic carrying trade.
Another fact is that the free ship law
has produced no vessels of type for
regular line fast freight and passenger
service to the great ports OF the chief
countries of South America. The large
United Fruit ships are valuable steamers
"a real accession to our mercantile ma
rine-but they are not so large as would
be required for regular-line service to
Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Ayres or VAL
paraiso. The United Fruiters are good
ships for the trade to the West Indies
and the Caribbean. and there they VI
doubtless be retained.
One fairly large and capacious passen-
ger steamer, the Oceana, built in 1891,
has been brought under our flag by the
new law, but she is not going into the
South American trade, and presumably
is not adapted to it. 1t is announced that
she will ply this winter between Bermu-
da and New York, carrying tourists, !
under subsidy from the island govern
ment. Aside from the Oceana and the
United Fruit steamers, the ships which |
have been naturalized are practically all
slow freighters of small or moderate
tonnage, some of them oil tankers, and
most of them undeniably cramps:
These accessons are useful and valuable, |
undoubtedly, but they Go not of them
selves constitute a merchant marine. |
They are of two principal ownerships-
the Standard Oil and the U 1ited States
Steel Corporation, great concerns for
which there is, rightly, generous room
and warm welcome on the ocean under
the Stars and Stripes.
But it is now manifest and undeniable
that the free ship law has not success
fully appealed to transatlantic steamship
corporations or to shipowners in general.
For real, sound re-establishment of
American shipping on the high seas,
something great deal broader and more
positive is indispensable. = The Marine
Journal.

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing inaam-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
news and skin are too torpid to carry
it off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful In the
treatment Of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys anil skin, which it
stimulates, and at the same time it
improves the digestion.
