The Seamen's Law Farce.

In his monthly magazine Senator La
Toilette is lauding the seamen's law as
masterpiece of deliberate and Intelligent
craftsmanship and denouncing the ma
tion-wide newspaper raid" on that law
as IAN affront to honest journalism" AT
one of the sessions yesterday Of the Acad-
envy of Political Science the editor of
"The Harvard Law Review" boasted that
the La Toilette seamen's act had elevated
our navigation regulations to level far
above that of any other maritime country,
excepting Australia. Why, then, should
anybody complain?
Unfortunately, the United States gov
ernment expects the owners of American
vessels engaged in foreign commerce to
compete with the vessels of many other
countries far more potent and active in
the deep sea trade than Australia is or is
ever likely to be. Most of the other big
maritime nations give subsidies. direct or
indirect, to their merchant marines. We
give none, and to make conditions still
harder for our shipowners we are forcing
on them an artificially increased operating
cost. Mr.. La Toilette was undoubtedly
sincere in his desire to deal as roughly
with competing foreign shipowners using
our ports as he did with American ship
owners. But the administration has not
had the courage to discipline foreign own
ers, fearing unpleasant diplomatic COM
plcations, and has now practically multi
fled the parts Of the seamen's act which
sought to compel all the other maritime
countries to raise their standards to those
of the United States and Australia.
Now we have law on our hands which
creates one more cost discrimination in
favor of foreign shipowners and against
American shipowners. And even the sea-
men, for whose benefit and whose benefit
alone the La Toilette law was passed, are
now finding its inspection and qualifica-
tion provisions burden and are running
20 the Commerce Department at Washing
ton for relief from them.
Secretary Redfeld, having announced
his readiness to suspend the law to meet
other unforeseen contingencies, is now re-
guested to let up on the examination of
seamen on the Pacific Coast, so that crews
can be got for vessels sorely needed in
the Pacific trade.
The wonderful masterpiece of deliberate
craftsmanship so applauded by its author
has been shot TO pieces even before it
has had a chance to work. Nearly every
body affected by it wants it amended. Its
lifesaving provisions apart, it is hardly
worth amending The sooner its non-life-
saving provisions are repealed the better
it will be for shipowners, for our seamen
and for the future of the American mer-
chant marine.

DR.. Trudeau.

Somewhere in the writings of John Rus
kin there is a saying on the function and
fortune of a good woman. She does not
find roses in her path, he says; she leaves
them there behind her. 1t is pretty,
graceful saying, peculiarly fitting as a
tribute to womanhood, but surely it may
be applied also to a good man, and never
have we known of one who recalled it to US
more wildly than it is recalled by Or.
Trudeau. He proved, as so many of the
nobler figures in his profession have
proved, that if the healing art is fortified
by science it is, after all, rooted in charac-
ter. With the wisdom of study and eX-
perience he could often make sick men
well. With the play Of his spirit and his
courage he could always make them happy.
It was a strong constructive mind that
he brought to the solution of that tragic
problem first put before him, with double
poignancy, in his own case, and when he
organized the battle, now fighting for
others as well as for himself, he assembled
dIl Ife TeSOutCcS 1Iiduc ny iiOuCi IL
research. But what we would lay stress
upon is the great weight which he threw
into the balance when he added to knowl-
edge the qualities of his nature. He had
gallant heart, the kindness, the tender
ness which are more than all the specifics
of all the physicians. 1t was a great
thing, he felt, to reach the goal, but
greater was the joy of making the jour
ney. Stricken souls who had, perhaps, but
the dimmest hope of attaining the goal
became confident Of it when once he had
paused at their side.
He knew how to exercise fear. He could
not only alleviate pain; he could teach the
sufferer how to bear it with brightness
and dignity. Almost one might say that
he romanticised illness, for at least he
minimized its terrors and turned the weary
brain, brooding in a half-wrecked body,
into drawer channels. What splendid re-
ward was his! He saw men the better for
his counsel and companionship, the better
both physically and spiritually. And he
saw this until he had very nearly reached
the allotted three score and ten of mortal
man. Could mortal man ask more?

in effect that in twenty-five years Germany
achieved an export trade within 10 per cent
as large as it took England practically 400
years to build up; this. based upon the Eliza
bethan period, being the beginning of Eng
lands export trade.
What these figures signify to hyphenates
i e., Anglo American professional people
like President Eliot, Joseph Choate and the
editor of the average New England or New
York City daily paper-is not known to me-
What they ought to signify Is quite clear,
and what they do signify TO the average man
engaged in American industrial life, more
especially pursuits allied with or based on
machine tools and high productivity per cap
tia of "the man behind the tool" is beyond
doubt, and that is that these figures demon
strate the essential unteachability of the
English people, at least such of them as are
engaged in industrial pursuits. Putting it
more bluntly ard in more expressive Ian
guage, in fact, in slang: Enthusiastically, these
figures show that England is load for a
hearse."
What type of mind is it or does it indi-
cate when one sees the brightest minds in
the country lawyers, professors and edi-
tors) advocating an alliance in fact with a
nation which has demonstrated its hopeless
but persistent unteachability in trade, the
thing we all live by? Can they not see that
what they are advocating in fact is COM
bination to uphold the incapables" in the
struggle for trade, the thing we all live by?
Can they not see that they are advocating in
fact that we enter into combination to
"unionize" the labor Of the civilized world
i. e., 70 level down instead of levelling up?
Does the fact that the Right Hon. Samuel
Gompers is an Englshman, and that he
favors the Allies, escape their attention :?
More especially is not the significance Of
these taken in connection with other facts,
enough for blind man?

Inferiority of Our Brightest Minds.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | crave space in your paper. not TO
thank you for your editorial article in the
issue OF the 10th inst, nor to fully express
nv appreciation of the same, because words
would fail me and space is not sufficient. |
will therefore. perforce, content myself with
attempting in some small measure TO thank
YOU for. and TO express my appreciation of,
that article headed where the British Go
Wrong"
Not the leas. important feature to me OF
this article is that its breadth of view its
kecnness of perception of the fact that the
New England States and this city are not
exemplars of American ideas as an entirety
re this war; and its blunt setting straight of
the British people re the danger of mistak-
ing American ideas at this juncture, are, in
fact, such throwing in of the reversing
lever" re The Tribune's ideas, as is nearly
always the acid test of large mind. In
fact it leads me to think that you will ac-
cept and give space to the ideas of one who
differs radically from you re the idea that
the Allies in general, and Great Britain in
especial, are fighting, in essence, the battle
Of these United States in this war.
To one who. like myself, has had opportuni-
ties of comparing on the spot the industrial
situation OF England, France and Germany
as regards machine tool equipment and pro-
ductivity per capita, as regards ''the man be
hind the tool the figures Of the growth OF
Germany's export trade from 1887 down to 1912
are enlightenlng TO a degree. They show in
found figures that in those twenty-five years,
and without the exception of a single year,
Germany's export trade grow until IL equalled
Englands, within 10 per cent. This means

edge. For these are not written on specu-
lation. but are contracted for in advance.
Still, these right men and women are not
always at liberty, and sooner or later they
drop out. An "offered-for-sale" column
suggested by the Bulletin, and pub
lished in connection with its "wanted-to-
buy" column, would make easier the path
of the newcomers and Tighten the work OF
publishers and editors. The Bulletin,
admitting the superficial humor of its
proposition, makes US see its serious and
eminently practical side.

SHOULD Authors Advertise 2"

1t is the Bulletin of the Authors
League of America which asks the ques-
ton. The obvious answer is, "They do"
AS matter of fact, in no other department
Of its development has the profession made
such striking progress as in that of pub
licity. We have watched thirty years of
literary log-rolling in this country, and at
no other time during that period has it
ever reached the thoroughness and efficient
frankness of the present moment. Once
its do ut des wore beguiling mask of
"My friends wares for the sake of cult
ure." To-day that face-saving top
dressing is dispensed with. The practice
has become frankly commercial. We are
in hurry; we have no time for pretences
and pretensions. The presses run fast,
art may be long, but our market is now.
The facilities for mutual publicity have
multiplied tenfold. What they will be to-
morrow none can tell, but the future looks
ever brighter. Think of what the screen
has already done for the makers of cur
rent American literature!
But it is not with this sort of advertising
+ that the Bulletin is concerned. As
always, it is eminently practical. What it
seeks is a means of letting editors and
publishers know where they can find what
they require in a hurry. Newspaper men
know this need perhaps best of all-the
/ immediate scurrying, for instance, for
/ photographs of places or people that
suddenly "get into the news" And often
what is the news of day in the daily
press becomes the news of the month in
! the magazines. Time and again editors
say, If we had only known you had a
picture of this sort we gladly would have
bought it instead of the stuff the syndicate
showed u.s." Thus it is also with timely
articles and books: the right man with
the right manuscript, eagerly sought for,
cannot be found until it is too late.
The Bulletin already publishes a
Magazine Market Place department, a
"wanted-to-buy" column. It now proposes
an Offered for-sale" column as well. AS
matter of fact, such an enterprise was
Begun some five years ago in this city by
firm Of literary agents, modelled on the
business opportunities" of our Consular
Trade Reports. 1t failed through lack Of
support. Authors may have considered 1t
"unethical"-the Bulletin takes that OBJ
lection into consideration; certain 1t is
that only one well-known writer made use
Of its columns, for the disposal, no doubt,
Of oft-rejected odds and ends. The fact
that the Authors League has taken up the
idea will! probably give it the standing
il has hitherto lacked; and it is likely that
the society viii! carry it through with its
usual efficiency. "Humorists will guy it
for while" observes the Bulletin phil
graphically, "but after bit laughter will
subside and the humorists themselves will
be advertising their Cheerful goods suit
able for Christmas trade"
II is part-anc an important part--of
the publishers and editors business TO
know where TO find the right man or
woman for a special article, for books in
any department Of the literature OF knowl-

IN A SAFE PLACE

In some of the small town drug
stores in the quarry districts of In.
diana you can buy anything from
talcum powder to dynamite, says
the Indianapolis News. Not long
ago a small quarry operator drove
up to one of these stores. The man
was in a buggy and his wife was
with him. Calling to the proprietor
of the store, he said: Jim, bring
out that box bought while ago!"
The package was put into the
buggy at the feet of the man and
his wife. The latter eyed the box
suspiciously.
whats in that package?" she
asked with some asperity.
Now, never mind," said the
husband that's not going to hurt
you"
The evasion excited the wife's
further suspicious. ED Spivens,"
she exclaimed, that's a box of
dynamite"
We'll, what if it is?" said Ed,
1T won't do any
damage unless it explodes."
Ed Spivens," shrilled the wo-
man, IF you think Pm going to ride
six miles in a buggy with fifty
pounds of dynamite at my feet
you're a bigger fool than | thought
you were! You have that man take
that stuff right out and put in the
back part of the buggy, under the
seat"
