Give us Back Our Ships

! AGAINST the Government going into the
\ shipping business the vote of the Cham
Der Of Commerce Of the United states was
overwhelming 1t was even more over
whelmlngly in favor Of subventions from the
Government to assist in the establishment
of freight and mail lines to countries In
which we have important commercial inter
ests.
The vote was 645 to 116 in favor Of the
proposal for the creation Of a Federal Ship
ping Board to Investigate and report to Con-
gress regarding the navigation laws and to
have fun Jurisdiction in all matters pertain
ing to oversea transportation.
The Chamber of Commerce Of tho United
States embraces within itself all shades of
political opinion 1t has repeatedly evinced
a broad and comprehensive knowledge Of all
subjects on which Its opinion has been asked.
Never havo It's conclusions been character
lied by narrowness. Its verdict represents
with remarkable accuracy the sentiment of
tho nation, sentiment which is rapidly
growing into a demand which the Admins
tration cannot neglect or overlook.
The country wishes, first, a scientific and
exhaustive study of the navigation laws with
the idea of their modernization and,
ondry, a definite program for the rehabilita-
tion of the marine. 1t is not afraid of sub
ventions. Subsidies do not frlghten it. Tax
payers do not object to spending little
money when double return is probable.
Nor can they see any reason why labor as
under the present law, should be given a
subsidy in the form of higher wages, while
the capital invested in ships is deprived Of
any and all protection.
1t behooves Philadelphia greatest of ship
building centres. to be first and foremost in
the fight to put the flag back on the high
seas. 1t is not too early now to make ready
a gigantic memorial to Congress, demanding
that that body without delay proceed to the
solution of the problem before it and deliver
the nation once and for all time from the
economic slavery into which it has been
plunged by the surrender of control over its
own carrying trade

Sir-In 1912 1 bought SO Aberdeen Place "a con-
tinuation of Berkeley Square) after looking over
property for three months in Atlantic City, as

Chelsea, owing TO the wonderful bathing beach

Of the lawns OF Congressman Ware, Mr.. Taubel
and the Newtons enhanced the charm-the quiet
and lack of publicity made 1t most desirable
from family point of view.

City to find an unsightly hut and great bill

Breeding True to Type in Indiana

BIOLOGISTS tell us that the racial type
ID persists. There may be variations and
exceptions, but the Caucasian remains
Caucasian the Mongollan Mongolian. and
the dog returns to his vomit.
The wholesale indictment of Republican and
Democratic leaders in Indiana for election
frauds is what the political biologist would
expect Indiana elections have been notorious
since Colonel Dudley. treasurer IF the Re-
publican National Committee, wrote to the
chairman of the State Committee in the Har-
rison campaign of 1883, to see that the voters
amenable to reason" were marched to the
polls In "blocks OF five" It is not necessary
to go into more ancient history. 1t is enough
to know that no State and no party can be
debauched over night. The Terre Haute
scandals, which have resulted in the convio-
ton OF a lot Of leaders and their imprison-
ment occurred because the Indiana type per-
sisted and the latest indictments this time
in Indianapolis and including the man who
has been chairman of the Democratic Ma
tonal Committee, grow out of the same rea-
sons.
Neither party in Indiana has a monopoly
OF the infamy. The biological type that is
inclined to election frauds is found in all
parties, and the inexperienced amateur is
the only man who advocates separating the
sheep from the goats so that one party may
contain nothing but crooks and the other
nothing but straight goods The process of
separation must be postponed till a later
date, and the Judge will then know one from
the other.

1t will not only be interesting but it
will be profitable for you to read that
little national dairy magazine. Kim
balls Dairy Farmer. It is published
semi-monthly at Waterloo, Iowa, the
hub of the great dairy region of the
central west. tits ably edited, well
printed on good book paper and hand
somely illustrated by actual photo
graphs taken exclusively for it. Its
purpose is educational and to the man
who would make his COWS yield larger
profits, this little magazine is indis-
pensable. Regardless of how many
other papers the farmer may take, this
one is worth many times its, price to
him. The subscription price is only
30 cents year, and the paper will
positively be discontinued at expira
ton. Send for sample copy.
