Repeal the seamen,s Laval

AS the department of commerce dis
sects the seamen's law, the crudities
and stupidities of that measure be-
come more convincingly conspicuous.
It's incidence is restricted to a pitiful
number OF vessels; its provisions con-
tract in their significance with every
reading; and the unequal burden it i'm
poses on a few helpless establish
ments becomes every day more appar-
ent.
The weaknesses of the measure
might have been ascertained while it
was pending. Not few Of it's absurd
provisions were then pointed out.
But the object of it's promoters was
less to regulate shipping than to &C
complish a political end. Their cal
culations took into account votes to
be gained. Little thought did they
expend on other effects of the bill they
advocated. 1t was labeled humane
and demanded by labor" and it was
put through regardless of anything
except its fruit at the polls.
To cure it's defects radical opera
ton is needed Repeal alone would
lift its burdensome hand from 'the
shipping trade. VIII congress and the
president unite to rid the country of
this futile. dishonest and embarrass-
ing statute?-New York Sun.

MUST Be PROTECTED
This Country Cen Manufacture
Its Own Dyestuffs.
Necessary, However, That Capital Be
Assured Consideration in the Mat
ter Of Competition With
Germany.

Shall We manufacture dyestuffs in
quantities to meet our own necessi-
ties? The industry can be established
in this country. and should be. We
have the raw materials. and can COM
mand the skilled labor. We have suf-
fered in that line, as in others, as the
result Of the war. We have been de-
pendent on Germany for our dyes:
and our business relations with that
country have been dislocated for 13
months Hence the interest now at
taching to that particular subject.
The leading consideration in the
premises is protection. Shall protec-
ton be Afforded? The German indus
try has not been, and will not be, de-
stroyed by the war. Upon the return
of peace. German manufacturers will
return to full speed again, and have
greatly the advantage in our markets
unless our markets are protected for
the home industry.
Secretary Redfeld favors the pro-
lection, and puts the case in this way:
Capital hesitates under existing
conditions to embark heavily in an I'M
dertaking where there is a strong
probability, If not a certainty, that
upon the return of normal conditions
an incipient, half-deveIoped American
industry would be exposed to pro-
longeG and relentless underselling by
foreign competitors possessing al
most boandless resources, financial
and technical"
A similar situation in general ex-
listed when we launched our govern
mental scheme, and a similar argu-
ment was made by the fathers in sup
port of tbs general policy of pro-
lection. At that time we were a
small nation of farmers and mer-
chants. almost wholly dependent on
the outside world for manufactured
products. Why not become a self
supporting nation? Why not do our
own manufacturing? Protection as a
policy was adopted, and in no great
while we became in many things in
dependent of the outside world and
today we hold a place among the
leading manufacturing nations
Protection has done wonders for
America. The policy. of course, needs
adjustment from time to time, as
President Mckinley, the foremost
protectionist of his day. pointed out
at Buffalo in what proved to be his
last public utterance. But adjust
ments can be made without impair
ing the strength of the policy. or in
juring any we'll established and
prosperous American manufacturing
plant.

The total annual gross revenue in

Graeff is native of Lancaster hav-
ing beenborn in that city, in 1921. He
was 10 years old when General Will
liam II. Harrison was elected President
of the United states, in 1910. AL

many exciting events which charac-
terized that contest.
Soon after the death of General
Harrison, which occurred one month
after his Inauguration. Mr.. Graeff en-
listed in the United States Navy, serv-
ing under the administration of Presi-
dent John Tyler. He was assigned to
the ship North Carolina, which then
lay in New York harbor, and it was
while in service there that he sustained
injuries which resulted in his dis
charge from the navy on account of
disability. Mr.. Graeff's injury result
ed from a fall through a hatchhole
while doing guard duty in the dark
ness. lie was placed in a hospital and
after recovering from his injuries, re-
turned to his home at Lancaster. This
accident prevented him from taking
part in the Mexican war which occur
red about five years later.
After fully recovering from his in
juries, Mr.. Graeff some years later re-
moved to Columbia where he became
an employe in the roundhouse of the
Pennsylvania railroad, at that time
located in the East End. When the
present roundhouse was built. Mr..
Graeff served there until he was re-
tired on account of age. Since then
he has made his home with his son,
David Graeff. a PENNSYLVANIA Railroad
engineer.
Mr.. Graeff is the oldest member of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Veteran

attends all its meetings and reunions.
