Ore Question, Please

At Indianapolis our President spoke
somewhat fiippantly of those men in
the United states Senate who are OPP
posing his scheme for entering the
United States in competition with the
legitimate shipping and ship building
interests of this country. Many peo-
pie of this country who heard, or have
read President Wilson's Jackson day
address, are convinced, reluctantly or
otherwise, that the President gave
voice to utterances not Wilsonian, ami
decidedly giving evidence of conceit.
Perhaps no other phrase in his adj
dress was so strongly marked by it
as his reference to the United States
Senate as body, and to the Repub-
lcan party as a whole. 1t is not far

himself. That these men. several Of
whom are leading the fight in oppo-

in this Congress. is striking evidence
to the average thinking person, that
the President himself may be tread

that the Republican party has not had

but one of these we would like to ask
now. 1t is this:
Does our President, who drove the

The APPELLATE Division in Bennett v.

refers to the decision of Justice Story
OF the United States Circuit Court
District OF Massachusetts. in Chamber
lain V. Chandler, in which he said:
THE authority of a master at sea is
necessarily summary and often abso-
lutte. For the time he exercises the
rights Of sovereign control, and obedi-
ence to his will and even to his caprices
becomes almost indispensable. If he
chooses to perform his duties or to ex-
ert his office in a harsh, Incorporate,
or oppressive manner, he can seldom be
resisted by physical or moral force,
and, therefore in a limited sense, he
may be said to hold the lives and per-
sonal welfare of all on board in a great
measure under his arbitrary discretion.
He is, nevertheless, responsible to the
law, and If he is guilty of gross abuse
and oppression l hope it will never be
found that courts of justice are slow in
visiting him, in the shape Of damages,
with an appropriate punishment. In
respect to passengers, the case Of the
master is one of peculiar responsibility
and delicacy. Their contract with him
is not for mere ship room and personal
existence on board, but for reasonable
food comforts, necessaries and kind
ness. 1t is stipulation not for tolera-
ton merely, but for respectful treat
ment, for that decency OF demeanor

New Dances Passing?
(BamRor Commercially

(Bangor Commercially
Word from the dancing centers OF the
land is to the effect that the balance is
tipping again in favor of the old fash
toned dances and that it will not be long
before those whose accomplishments ON
the dancing floor are confined to the
waltz. two-etep and schottische, will
again find themselves dancing, for most
of these have given over the pastime in
the past two seasons. The so-called new
dances, SO say reports. have about had
their run and their popularity is on the
wane. The chief difficulty is that there
are too many of them and a proficient
dancer who is absent from the floor Tor
a couple Of months. finds himself far be-
hind. Thus many who are really fond Of
dancing, have deserted the amusement
as demanding too much time If one Is to
master the multitude of new steps that
are everywhere shown and which are
often so differently taught by different
teachers that they do not appear to be
the same step.
