This nadon is now entering upon
an era OF marine development. The
wreckase If European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war Is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products Of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land We lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
Is seldom seen in foreign ports. II

energy we have displayed In conquer

This article will be confined to q
discussion Of our ports for the pro-
ducts Of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have In this nation 81 ports, Of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty.second

The latter item should be lifted off

out the unnecessary link In the chain

heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
Its benefits as that Of a free port
and none can be more easily and ef-

THE LAYMAN'S DUTY

+: There never was time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unholy alliance that civilization did
not shrek out and Christianity cry
aloud. Since the beginning Of gov"
ernment. politicians have sought to
,decoy the ministry into the meshes Of
politics and make them carry banners
In political PROFESSIONS. They have
taken the ministry to the mountain
top Of power and offered to make them
monarch OF all they surveyed, and
while most OF them have said, Get
thee behind me Satan" few have
fallen with a crash that has shaken
every pulpit In ChrIstendom.
