Detroit by the Adcraft club. He was

was wondered by those who heard
him why he didn't speak longer.

"Why?" the friend asked.

WASHINGTON NEWS
By Edward Heating.

The American people are now pay
ing $4,000. 600 month to the Inter
national shipping trust in the form
of excessive ocean freight rates.
The trust will continue to hold up
it's American victims until the Euro
pean war ends. unless President VIII
sons ship-purchasing bill is passed
and Uncle Sam smashes the shipping
combine by carrying American goods
to the four quarters of the globe in
government-owned ships.
When you read In your daily paper
that Senator's Root and Burton and
Weeks and Galliger and all the 9TH
er stalwart Standpatters in the upper
house are persisting in their filibust-
er to defeat the shippurchasing bill.
just remember the facts stated above
Every day that the passage OF this
bill msy be postponed means $500. 900
to the Twentieth century pirates who
control the shipping interests OF the
world. Who says that "silence Is
golden?" The Standpat filibuster-
ers are demonstrating that talk may
be coined into dividends for monop-
oily!
Wilson's Second Battle.
This is the second time President
Wilson has clashed with the ship
ping trust and each contest has been
prolonged and intensely bitter. The
first battle was precipitated by the
presidents demand that the monop.
oily pay tolls on its vessels when pas
sing through the Panama canal. He
has his way but It required months
of the hardest kind Of fighting.
The stake in that contest was COM
paratively small-perhaps $3,000.000 a
year-a sum which seems trivial wher
placed beside the $4,000 900 a month
graft which the combine is endeavor-
ing to perpetuate.
AS In the Panama toll fight, the
friends of the monopoly do not dare
to come out in the open and face the
issue. They are endeavoring to throw
dust In the eyes of tie people.
III we give the president SAC. .00O..
900 with which to buy ships. he will
purchase the German ships now in
termed In ATerican ports and that
will be an uhneutral act and will in
volve us in war with England and
her allies"
That's the favorite argument Of the
defenders Of monopoly.
Gilpin observer., 1915-02-04
Misrepresentation Answered.

It is easy to demonstrate its abb
Wilson has shown that he would be
about the last man in public life to
embroil this country in war with
England or Mexico or any other ma
tion.
Men In close touch with the situa-
ton do not believe that the allies
would offer serious objection to the
purchase of the German ships, but.
IL they did, there are other. ships
which could be procured.
The president is not shooting in
the dark. He knows exactly what
he can do and he knows just how
much will be required to do it.
He estimates that with capital
Of $40,00O.0 900 enough ships can be
placed In the ocean carrying trade to
compel the trust to come to terms
and carry freight at the old rates
He knows that unless this is done
the trust will continue to charge "all
the traffic will bear" and that means
It will not be satisfied with anything
less than the $4,000. 900 month ii
is raking in now and It may demand
more.
Samples Of Hold UP.
To illustrate how monopoly puts
the screws to the shippers. let's
take tho case of cotton. Before the
war. co ton could be carried across
the ocean for from $l.50 to $1.75 a
bale. Now the monopoly demands
$17.00 q bale or an advance Of 1000
per cent. That Is from an American
to British port and there is not a
German warship In the Atlantic
ocean!
Before the war. you could ship
Portland cement to the Argentine re-
public for $2.45 per ton. Now it
costs $500 per ton.
Scores of other examples could be
cited but these are typical and will
suffice.
There Is a tremendous demand
from all sections of the globe for the
products OF American farms. mines
and mills. We must have ships to
take care of the business. AS the
result. Of half century Of Republi-
can navigation laws our merchant ma
rine has been driven from the seas
and now a great war has paralyzed
the shipping OF Germany and its al
lies.
We find ourselves at the mercy Of
the British shipping trust in which
certain American financiers are heav-
lily Interested.
Wilson Points the Way.
What are we going to do about It?
President Wilson has pointed the

way to maritime freedom and the
Democratic majority in Congress, SIP
ported by such Progressive Republi-
cans as La Toilette, Kenyon. Clapp
and Poindexter, are prepared to sup
port his leadership.
But the survivors of the cid regime
declare they will not permit the
question to come to a vote. They
will endeavor to talk the shipping
bill to death. and If they can hold
out until March 4 they will probably
succeed. Squirting them on is the
shipping trust which is pocketing
half million dollars for every day

around the circumference of which
is an hour and minute scale. Half
of the characters are in white and the
other half black, indicating day and

that If it is desired to know the time

Roosevelt was particularly interested

'The $50 babies drowned on the Lu-

ship, the Gulflight, which was torpe-
doed, offer an eloquent commentary on
the actual working of the theory that
it is not necessary to assert rights and
that a policy of blood and iron can
with efficacy be met with a policy of
blood and water.
Germany now offers to stop the
practice of murder on the high seas if
we will now abandon further neutral
rights, which by her treaty she has
solemnly pledged to see that we exer-
else without molestation.
Without twenty-tour hours delay
this country should and could take eff
fective action by declaring that in view

commerce with Germany shall be
forthwith forbidden and all commerce

'The government and people Of the

of neutral ships sunk by mistake,
