In most fiocks or sheep, especially

use some system of flock numbers
aside from the registry number. It is
easy for an ear tag to be lost out. but

politics OF Mr.. Parry OF Seattle, who is listed as
a progressive republican.
However, interest will turn on what the
board is expected TO do, and not on how II is
composed. The purpose or the board is OF doubt
full utility, its function being to prevent oppres-

will try to hold big business in check, 80 that
little business may not suffer because It is
small Whether such monitoriaI control of

question. The regulation OF business by law,
beyond the laying down OF certain fundamentals,
has been at no time such glittering success as
to warrant much faith In the new expedient that
provides for further interference on part Of the
government.
Success in business depends on factors that
are personal, and are therefore beyond the law.

In Che Case Of che Evelyn.

Americans generally will admire and follow
the example Of the owners of the ship Evelyn,
sunk by contact with a mine in the North Sea.
He says he does not care for an international
inquiry, that the ship was lost while under the
natural risk of war, and that he does not look
for compensation. The sanity OF this view will
commend the owners of the lost ship and cargo
as men OF common sense
II an inquiry is ordered, as has been sug-
gested, just where it will begin can scarcely be
told, although where II will end seems plain
enough. The Evelyn was in a portion OF the
sea which both England and Germany have ex-
Guided from the war zone. Therefore, It must
have been a vagrant mine that did the damage.
The chance for determining what nation set the
mine afloat is extremely slender. and, even IL
the nationality of the destroyer were determined.
II would be immaterial, because no deliberate in
tention to destroy that vessel is chargeable. The
risk Of encountering vagrant floating mines is
taken by any vessel approaching the war zone.
The affair is unfortunate, in coming at a time
when the public is wrought up by the conditions
growing out of the English and German govern
ments in connection with the movement OF neu-
trail ships through the waters of the war zone.
Happily, the government at Washington is not
inclined to be hysterical over the situation, and
1t is not apparent that any effort VIII be made
to magnify the Importance Of the occurrence
The attitude Of the owners of the lost ship is
likely to be assumed by most of their fellow
countrymen.
