On Building Up Our Merchant Marine

mattur now stands all the platforms say is that it must be encorraged-so if a grate statesman is in doubt as to whethur he'll encourage the merchant mareen by sending it his kind regards, and the seesun' $ greet ings, or inviting it to take sumthng on him, when he turns to the platform for spessif- flick instructsions he finds nun. This per mits the statesman to figger out a plan of encouragement to suit himself. This is neerly always fatal Under our form of guvver- mint 1t Is grave mistake to permit statesman at large without spessiffic in structions It is next to impossibul for them to agree, evven aftur majority of theere own party have dun so.
 So far as l am consumed l am always frank with theese forrainers ovver heer. | speek freely with them and am always per fectly free to state that no uther country can approach the United States
 We may scrap amung ourselves ovver the details of big skeem and in the meen time allow the humbul forrainer to take our mummy frum us like taking hay rum blind COW, but we boo up seerenly in the next in- hing with anuther large supply of hay. We newer will permit little two-for-a quar- tnr monnarky to exsel us when 1t cums to-. being stuck on ourselves, and at the same time we continew to remain with kindest persunnel regards, theere mee ticket and give them bonus for the privvileege. The only consolasion about that is that we make them cum aftur theere mees, but we pay em for the trubbe.
 II seems too bad that the United States with a capasslty and appetite for forraln trade as big as an elifant, should be crip- pied and cramped in resourse for getting it as boil weevil and yet all of hur grate men of affairs agreeing as one man that sumthng ought to be dun
 Ear be it rum me to undertake to advise the Senit what if ought to do under the sir cumstanses. Up to this time l have not re- seeved enny cables rum the Senit asking me to butt in with few timely suggestions. ] would feel a delicasy in sending them a dispatch, collect, setting forth my veews, they mite resent it.; the Senit is peculiar that way, it frequently resents suggestions. Still the Senit ought to be told in friendly sort of way that the plain rcepul air getting a little peeved ovver the situasion. The plain peepul air not much on details, but when they arrive at the conclusion that sumthing ought to be dun in polyticks they air apt to get anxious and even rude about it. They fall for the genneralities and hur- raw stuff for long, long time, but when they air reddy for show down they air apt to crave actsion, and if they don't get it they air prone to discourage theere publclS servants in nasty and abrupt mannur. The only thing the plain peepul know about the situason is that they have suffured rum the fact that theere goods could not be shipped to the folks who weer willing to buy them--they air not consumed ovver the detals-but they air vastly inturrested in results Failure to delivver the goods is a high crime and misdemeenur in the eyes of the plain peepul--and this holds good tls- world ovver, beleeve me.

Famous Men WlSpeak to Students

Albuquerque. N. NJ, July I5.-The
students at the University of New
Mexico during the coming college year
which opens August II. will have the
opportunity during the year of hear
ing a series OF lectures such as seldom
can be heard anywhere In the United
States during a similar period, even
in the great cities. For some years
past the Tuesday morning assembly
hour has been made the occasion for a
brief lecture on some subject of gem
eral practical interest, by some man
or woman not connected with the In
stltution. In the list from time to
time some notable men have appeared
and the lectures have proven mt OF
the most valuable features OF life az
the University. But during the com
ing year, through fortunate clrcum-
S ances, almost every assembly period
on Tuesday morning will bring a
speaker OF national reputation, or an
authority In his special line. PrCsi-
dent Boyd for some time has been
searching for these men from among
the hundreds who will go TO the PACT
tic coast exposition during the fall and
