It is not uncommon for young
people to go to some distant ex-
tensively advertised school, bear
heavy expenses, and get less good
from it than they can get in a
schoop like ours at comparative
ly small expense, nearer their

We confidently expect the peo-

advertise for the fall term, we
have shown faith in their loyalty
to this institution as manifested
by their liberal support in the
years past, to the extent that
ample provision has been made
to meet every demand for good
instruction and training; when
patrons will be we'll repaid in the
good results they will get, and
when liberal local patronage IN
this beginning after the disastrous
fire, means so much for the
future welfare OF the school and
the community.
Our pupils will have, besides
thorough instruction in literary
branches, our constant help and
guidance, that the best types o
manly and womanly character
may be developed. Important al

victory he in the Democratic primary on the New
ark postmastershp. He is competent to discharge the
duties of the Office and is exceedingly popular with
those who live in the town and the surrounding country
The Ledger is Democratic newspaper-not vitu-

While ethically it is wrong to give public Office as
reward for partisan service practically It is recognized
the right thing to do. Measured by that practical
standard Mr. Bowen should have received substantial
reward long ago.
Now that he has the office at a warmly-con-
tested primary. he should seek to merit the public ap-
proval that has come to him by giving the people Of

Editorial Opinion
TIRPITz's BRITISH DISCIPLES

TIRPITZ'S BRITISH DISCIPLES.
From the New York Tribune.
A detailed list published in the Liver
pool Post shows how seriously Ger
man traffic with Scandinavia has been
hampered of late by the presence of
British submarines in the Baltic The
number of vessels lost between Octo-
Der IL and % is given as twenty. and
as the name Is noted in each case it
may be presumed that this is correct.
II is true that the Germans have
sometimes sunk as many British YES
sells in a week, but'comparisOl by num-
her is not enlightening, because as
soon as il became apparent that a
submarine blockade Of British ports
was impossible the German command
ers fell to destroying everything with
in their reach. including harmless
little fishing vessels. Thus one week
last August the aggregate tonnage of
| twenty vessels sunk amounted to no
more than 6.905, showing that in all
probability the heroes OF the U-boats
had been obliged to contne their at
tention chiefly to trawlers. The ag-
gregate tonnage of the twenty vessels
sunk in the Baltic is estimated at
above $4,000. Twenty more well-laden
ships we're sunk with their cargoes
the week before, to say nothing of five
transports.
II will be seen. then, that since
British submarines have begun to fol-
low the example set by Germany they
have proved reasonably efficient. The
damage they are doing is more mo-
mentous than the damage done by the
Germans, for while the Germans could
not seriously affect Britain's oversea
trade, Germany has been at least
gravely embarrassed in the only
waters where hitherto comparative
immunity was assured. Iron ore, so
important in the prosecution of her
military enterprises. came largely
from Sweden. and there were many
other goods for supplying which Scan
dinavia was. If not indispensable. at
least convenient. Il is conceivable
that before long the Germans may
have cause to regret the example set
by their favorite ogre, the ingenious
Tirpitz.

The Government Shipping
Board Proposition
CFrom the Norfolk virginian-PllotJ

The National Foreign Trade Coun-
ell. an organization composed of rep
resentatives Of the country's manu-
featuring, agricultural, mining, COM
mercial, transportation and financial
interests directly concerned In promo
tion OF foreign trade, makes sug-
gestion looking to the upbuilding OF
an American overseas mercantile ma
rine, through revision and m0derniza-
ton of our navigation laws, which is
at least worthy of serious consider
alton. Taking decided ground against
government ownership or control OF
merchant bottoms, the Council urges
the establishment OF a shipping board
of five members experienced in ship
ping and foreign trade" which shall
constitute a permanent advisory body,
empowered to recommend TO Congress
the measures necessary for the main
tenance of United States shipping upon
an equitable competitive basis with
other nations, always having due re-
gard for the maintenance OF American
standards of living and compensation,
and keeping in view the needs of the
national defense and the necessities OF
foreign trade" Among the functions
of the proposed board would he as
certaining "the cost OF construction
and operation, rates OF interest on
shipping mortgages, insurance rates,
etc. of American shipping as COM
pared with that of other nations" de-
termining what line of ocean-carry-
ing trade shall be permanently de-
veloped under the American flag for
the benefit OF the foreign commerce
of the United States, and recommend
ing methods whereby such lines may
be possible, in the event of the cost
of their operation preventing effective
competition with foreign services in
the same zone" In the meantime, it
is proposed that the President be en-
powered to suspend the operation of
such provisions of the seamen's act
as he may consider detrimental to the
interests Of American shipping" until
Congress, having before it the advice
Of the shipping board has revised

and modernized the United States
navigation laws" II the suspension Of
the act is not deemed expedient, it is
suggested that certain features be
eliminated and others be substituted
to bring the requirements on par
with those of the British shipping act.
That the United States navigation
laws are antiquated in a great many
regards, burdensome IN others and on
the whole discourage ocean trade un-
der the American flag, by rendering 1t
practically impossible for American
ships to compete in the foreign-carry-
ing trade. is an act about which every
body at all posted on the subject is
practically agreed Only less generally
recognized is IL by those in position
to know that nothing short of thor
ough overhauling and modernization
of these laws will avail to open the
way to permanent rehabilitation OF
the American overseas mercantile
marine. And certainly such revision
and modernization. IL they are to be
even measurably effective OF the end

uation worse. must be effected in ac-
vi NHhNC WIN lut lucas OA lueu WHO
Know from personal knowledge and
experience just what the conditions
are which require to be remedied,
rather than by men who have no di-
rect acquaintance with the shipping
business, its handicaps or its needs.
and so have nothing to offer in the
way OF remedial legislation except
theories and experiments which, when
put into practice, do more harm than
good. While there may be ample
room for difference of opinion as to
what may or would be accomplished
through such a shipping board as is
proposed. it may well be that an ad-
visory body along the lines suggested
by the National Foreign Trade Coun-
ell would, if properly composed, prove
of service in guiding Congress upon a
course best calculated to result in de-
veloping an American overseas mer-
camille marine on sound principles
and with the prospect Of permanent
success.
