Shipnimg law i'm Eject

HERE VIII be opportunity now TO observe
III actual operation the workings Of the
La Toilette shipping bill, which went into
effect yesterday. Representatives of the
shipping industry have declared it would
drive american vessels from the high seas
and it will be interesting to observe if this
result is attained. The Times Dispatch
though disappearing heartily of some features
OF this measure, doubts strongly that its eff
fects Will be quite so cataclysmic as some of
its more rhetorical critics have predicted
Certainly it will not drive American ships
from the Atlantic. Freight rates are so high
nowadays--n some cases 900 or 800 per cent
above normal--that operating expenses are
no longer the controlling conSdera ton
lherc is not enough tonnage to carry Amcri-
can products to Europe. and no shipowncr
with brains in his head is going to take his
vessel out of commission, so long as the war
lasts and the demand for cargo space CON
tinues, merely to express his disapproval of
some piece Of legislation lie will find an
other way to show his resentment.
On the Pacific the situation is radically diff
ferent. There the crews OF occan-goiug YES
sells have been almost wholly Asiatic-either
Chinese or Japancsc-who, of course. could
be obtained for wages much smaller than
those acceptable to white sailors. a section
of the new law requires that threc-fourths of
the crews of such vessels shall be capable OF
understanding the orders of their officers
This bars Asiatics, because they cannot under
stand orders given in English. a crow one
fourth Nsiatic, which the law in terms per-
mits, is impossible in fact because "A way
has not yet been found to induce white sea-
men to share watch and duty with Cinnamon
or Japs.
Secretary Redfcd says this section Of the
law is to be interpreted generously by the
department of Commerce, which means per-
haps, that some leeway will be permitted
The shipping interests, however sec no ray
OF hope in this promise, and almost without
exception have retired from the transpaciiic
trade. There are rumors in Washington, on
the other hand. that new companies are be-
ing formed TO operate steamships between
American and Asiatic ports competing with
the Japanese lines, now left in almost un-
disputed possession Of the field
No strong objections have been urged 10
the provisions Of the law designed TO increase
safety at sea, which admitted for tho
most part to be admirable. There are ONLY
minor criticisms Of the sections providing for
better treatment of seamen, for most un-
prejudiced observers declare the sailor be-
fore the mast has had hard time Of it in
the past, and needs about all the protection
the law can supply.
At any rate. the measure is in effect and
will have a chance to WORT; ont it's own saliva
ton. In that enterprise it will not receive
so that if it does justify itself there will be
every reason TO believe it pretty good law

For Amcricanism Undilu,ed

DRESIDENT WILSON spoke a noble word
for national preparedness at the ami
versary dinner of the Manhattan Club. in
New York. on Thursday evening It is no
partisan issue, he said, but a princinic of
conduct that should appeal to every loyal
citizen. No ignoblc ambition for foreign
conquest or the subjuGation OF lesser pcoples
he declared, mars the determination OF this
nation 10 guard its liberties against agcrcs-
sion
But the President spoke a finer word for
an Amoricanism that is sole, constant un-
swaycd by foreign influence and unbiased by
foreign sympathy. He dcplorcd those voices
raised within the United states. that have
come from men who loved other countries
better than they loved America men who
were partisans OF other causes than that OF
America and had forgotten that their chief
and only allegiance was to the great govern
mcnt under which they live" And the
President continued:
The chief thing necessary in America
IN order that she should let all the world
know that she is prepared to maintain
her own great position is that the real
voice of the nation should sound forth
Enthusiastically and in majestic volume in
the deep unison OF a common. uuhcsi-
thting national feeling. | do doubt
that upon the first occasion, upon the
first opportunity. upon the first definite
challenge. that voice Will speak forth
IN tones which man can douht and
with commands which man dare
gaiusay resist
MIR Wilson's faith is justified of course
but pending that first definite challenge" Of
which he speaks, there are too many and too
ciamorons 'spokcsmcn OF small groups whom
it is high time the nation should call to IA

citizens of the city to see that the law
is enforced In the future.
But as to lynchings, while Virginia
has not been entirely free Of the kind
OF crimes that usually incite Enchings,
the punishment for them has been SC
swift and certain that no citizen has
felt any necessity of taking into his
own hands the enforcement Of law
that the state has enforced SO
stringently.
However. virginia has been freer
than many States, both from the
crimes in question and from others,
and this is a tribute both to the quail
lty of her citizens. white and black,
and to that same reputation for law
enforcement that has made the most
daring hesitate before defying the
righteous wrath OF virginia.
