Today the rigorous terms of the So
called LaFollette seamen's law goes
into effect-upon American ships BY
decision of the attorney general of
! the United States, the foreign ships of
our CHEZ competitors are and will
continue to be exempt. The Ameri-
can congress has forged new double
edged weapon for the destruction of
the American merchant marine In
overseas trade, and President Wilson,
whose signature made the new law
fact, will proceed to WELD it.
There must not be any mincing of
words. What is going to be can be
judged by what already has been. A
few weeks ago, the oldest and greatest
steamship company on the Pacific
ocean. the best equipped and the most
ably managed-an American company,
the Pacific Mail--hauled down the
flag that had foated for fifty years,
sold its ships and abandoned it's serv-
ice to the orient. That left one Amer
lean steamer on the trans-Pacif1c route
to Japan, China and the Philippines.
A few days more and the Great North
ern Co., which owned this lone ship
announced that 1t was Immediately
to be withdrawn and sent to Europe
to be sold. Later still, the Pacific
Mail offered for sale it's remaining
ships. to Mexico, Central America and
Panama.
These are some of the things that
have happened. Another is that ship
owners who had been taking advan-
tage of the free registry law of Aug
ust IS, 1914, ceased to bring foreign

This movement. which in it's early
months had naturalized several hum
dred thousand tons of shipping for
overseas commerce, has lost its force
as the results of the LaFollette law
are apprehended. That law has killed
most Of whatever hope there was IN
the "freo ship" experiment.
Under that law ships OF American
register must have more seamen.
more "life boat men," more, complex
and extensive equipment than the
same ships would have under for
e1gn flag. Moreover, they are de-
barred by the language clause OF the
LaFollette law from employing
Chinese or Lascars, so freely and
largely awaited of by their competi-
tors. Chinese and Lascars, docile, ef-
flcient and enduring, may not be the
EQUALS of white men in the stress OF a
sudden emergency, but for the ordin-
arv routine of ship they are capable
and acceptable to all of the great
companies that ply through
eastern seas.
Their wages are about So month;
the wages of white men of the same
callinxs under the American flag
would be from $35 to $50. Such wages
and the difference in food and main
tenance would have meant IN the
Pacific Mail ships upwards OF 100000
year, and in the one Great Northern,
shin about $4,000. This meant de-

CHEWING THE RAG

by Thos. W. Henley. Nogal. n. NJ
Some people think this world all
wrong.
Because they are not a millionaire,
They blame the rich in a
doleful song,
Chewing the rag Of despair.
Our statesmen are all to blame
And all high prices they nag,
They think our government tame
Since they began chew ing The rag
Their ideas are all populistic
No matter how the world wags
And they find nothing realistic
Exc t chewing The same old rag
Sometimes we call them knockers
On account OF their peculiar traits
But truly speaking they're Knockers
For chewing the rags Of fate.
Many OF them are so DIN foolish
That they won't never sleep at
home
They nope around looking mulish
Still che I'M the old rag soma.
They are found both In the town
and country,
And YOU may know them Ivy

Teaching and preaching a plenty
Chewing the same old rag

Mr.. Marshall.

Shall we hear anything further
about denying Vice President Mar
shall denomination?
Whatever there was to the gossip
grew out of a story that Mr.. Marshall
was not sound" on cloture; that he
would not rule as desired last win
ter. Hence the suggestion of diff
ferent running-mate for Mr.. Wilson.
The hope was that Mr.. Marshall
would see the point, and rule right"
this winter and thus save his scalp.
If there was anything to the story
alleging hostility on Mr.. Marshalrs
part to gag rule for the Senate, he
stands abundantly vindicated now.
No such procedure is possible. After
a halcyon and vociferous examination
the democratic caucus put the propo-
sition to sleep. Whatever change may
be made at this session, the Senate
will remain a deliberative body. Clo-
ture, in the sense Of a partisan asset
to be used for partisan purposes
and that was the essence of the
maneuver--is out Of the question, for
tunately for the Senate. the country

in all campaigns, local and national.
Never situation arises strong
enough to shake her devotion.
For an instance, last year the de-
mocracy lost heavily in the House
elections. A majority. topheavy and
unwieldy, was reduced to twenty
four. The republicans swept things in
the east, west, northwest and the
middle states, but made no impress
sion on the south. A small protest
against free sugar occurred in Louis
lana; but the one district lost there
went to the bull moose party, which.
in national sense, no longer counts.
AS for next year, remove the south
from the democratic equation and the
party would collapse. Mr.. Wilson's
nomination would not be worth three
straws. The problem will be to add
to the absolutely certain southern
votes enough votes obtained in the
east and middle states to sway the
electoral college. Not a single one
of the southern states whose senators
and representative figure prominent
ly in the present congressional con-
troll will require any attention next
year on the part of the national dem
ocratic managers. All of them will
be safe for Wilson.
1T is up to" the south now to make
good in the saddle. What does she
say to an adequate national defense,
especially on the sea? One of her
sons is Secretary Of the Navy. an
other is chairman of the Senate naval
committee, and third is chairman of
the House naval committee What
does she say to additional taxes for
the support of the government, and
how should they be laid? What does
she say to coddling lot of profess
sional Filipino politicians with talk
about early independence for the
Philippine Islands?
The south is often accused of be-
ing fonder of oratory than of action
in politics. Now is an excellent time
for her to refute the charge, and
show what she can do with issues
that rise above section and relate
most intimately to all sections.
