WHITE MEN COME IN HANDY,
SOMETIMES

THE other day an interesting ceremony took place
l. on the steamer Dolphin just before she LETT her
berth for southeastern Alaska. gold watch and
chain were presented TO Victor Peterson sailor,
for heroiSm in saving the life OF one OF the vesseFS
passengers, Miss Helen Kepner of Denver Colo, at
Hanes, Alaska.
In connection with this appreciation of
sailors efficiency, this thought occurs;
Would one of Robert Dollars cheap-wage,
poorly-fed Lascar or Chinese sailors have risen to
the emergency as did the union sailor, Peterson?
Yet in the attack on the seamenS bill by Rob
ert Dollar and his kind, the plea is really made for
ignorant poorly paid and comparatively inefficient
Chinese sailors on the Pacific.
To the Robert Dollars one might cite the case of
the "Rio Janeiro" In which the Chinese crew, I'M
able to handle the boats, was responsible for the
drowning OF passengers. The contrast between
the "Rio Janeiro' case and Sailor Petersons spen-
did example is vital argument for the principles
involved in the Seamen's law, which is meant TO
give the sailor living conditions and thus insure
greater safety for passengers, too
THE THING which can't be done. is merely that
which gives the live wire his opportunity.

THE AGE OF CONSENT

w HlLE the mayor of Atlanta, in defending the
w murderers of Leo Frank, has said that when
il comes to womans honor there Is no limit to
which we will not go TO avenge and protect it,"
the men of Georgia are allowing the age of con-
sent to remain at 10 years.
If Georgia men are really so bent on protect
ing womans honor why do they not follow the
example of those states in which the age of consent
has been raised TO 1872
Nor is Georgia alone among the states in this
connvance al sexual crimes against children North
Carolina also constitutes herself an accessory before
the fact in all attacks on little girls by placing the
age of consent at 10. BY so doing state promotes,
encourages and fosters the very offense which,
once committed permits Southern "chivalry" to
glut its lust of blood
Georgia and North Carolina alone are gbbeted
before public opinion in placing the age OF consent
at 10 But some other states are nearly as bad. In
Mississippi it is u and in Alabama, Virginia, South
Carolina Tennessee and New Mexico IL is IL.

He knew of such an instance nov-a
vessel OF sorts was lying loaded and
almost ready to sail. Perhaps chance
would favor him.
He made his way across the crowded
docks to the gangway OF the steamer;
but he sought no converse with the
captain or the purser Of the ship. In
stead he beckoned to him one or two
deck stewards, whom he selected after
a quick look as countrymen OF a land
he knew.

Freight Complaint Dismissed

The Public Utilities Commission, on
Thursday, filed an order and report
Diminishing the complaint the Farmers
Transportation Association, Inc. of
Burlington county, against the nature
OF freight service furnished by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company in trans
porting perishable produce to JERSEY
City. The Adams Express Company
was co-defendant in the complaint.
This dismissal of the matter by the Com
mission, however, is accompanied with
recommendation to the Pennsylvania
Railroad that it make particular effort
to maintain the schedule of the train
now used by the petitioners.
The petitioners are fruit and Dro-
duce growers in the Delaware river
section of Burlington county who send
their products to the New York market.
The nature of the complaint was that
the schedule time for running the regu-
lar freight train carrying farm products
is set at such an hour that the growers
do not have time to get together more
than half their days output and pet il
to the stations; that the freight train
designated for carrying perishable farm
products also handles slow freight en-
route, causing late arrivals at the desti-
nation and failure of the shippers to get
the early delivery prices.
1t was also alleged that the Pennsvl-
yania by combination with the Adams
Express Company forced the growers to
use the express service.
