Bills STIR QUAKERS
Shipping Men Aroused By
Harrisburg Measures To
Amend Navigation Laws
PREFER INCREASE
IN SERVICE CHANGE

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 1.-two
hills regulating pilotage on the Del
aware River. which shipping men re-
gard as an impediment TO the COM
merce Of the Port of Philadelphia.
Rave been introduced into the House
of Representatives at Harrisburg by
Representative John Reynolds of this
city. One bill is an amendment to
the navigation laws. TO force every
vessel arriving here from the Pacific
coast TO take on a pilot to bring her
from the Breakwater to this city and
to pilot the vessel from Philadelphia
to the Breakwater on her outward
bound voyage. The other bill is
one asking permission to increase the
present pilotage rates 10 per cent.
According TO steamship men, the
first bill is a discrimination against
American ports in favor Of foreign
ports, as vessels operating between
here and Porto Rico. if the mas
ter has a coasting license, do not
have TO take a pilot.
AS the law now stands, coasting
vessels, no matter from what port
they come. whether from an Atlantic
or Pacific coast port, are not required
TO take on a pilot If the master has
a license for the Delaware river.
Local shipping men are more In
terested in the bill providing for a
10 per cent increase in pilotage rates.
They maintain that If this bill rs
passed Philadelphia will be placed in
a position where she cannot fairly
compete with other North Atlantic
ports The present rates are on a
parity with that of other ports. ac-
cording to shipping men. and to adj
vance the rates would handicap this
port In Baltimore the inward and
outward pilotage rates are So q foot
for the draft Of the vessel; IN New
York the highest inward bound rate
is SASS a foot and the highest out
ward bound rate is 1885 foot. The
Philadelphia rates are s. a foot on
both inward and outward bound YES

A Future Possibility.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
Another hundred years may see the
peoples of the earth governed by de-
mocracies, trading without tariff bar
riers, and so closely knit as to be safe
from danger of war. The same hun
dred years may end with the whole
world dominated by monstrous in
ternational cartel. with common peo-
pie reduced to the level of well-fed,
well-housed, carefully preserved serfs
in new and gigantic feudalisn. This
danger makes the economic policies Of
this day highly important. What we
do in the next few years may be acts
of destiny for our great-grandchildren
1t Is this that demands that we keep
sharp watch or the growth of monopo-
lized power in industry and finance,
and see to it that 1t does not get
such a start that it can sweep gov
eminent regulation" out of its way
and be greater than governments. We
must be properly suspicious when the
sop of prosperity" is offered in ex-
change for a loosening OF govern
mental authority. Such a match blaze
of well-being may be bought too
dearly.

Family Days.
4 the Milwaukee Journal


Family occasions ought to be cele-
brated frequently. even If the celebra-
ton is the simplest form Of little festi-
val Bringing the family together helps
70 promote affection Whatever the
event. birthday or wedding anniversary
ought to mean something to every
member of the family. and can be made
an occasion that will remain bright IN
memory when the family circle IL
broken up forever. If the occasion is
one for giving, simple gifts are always
preferable to expensive ones, not mere
ly because money is saved thereby, but
beca use the gift should not overshadow
the love and affection of which it is
token. When sickness, sorrow or mis-
fortune comes, IL is to our own that We
look for sympathy and help. This is
one reason, if it Is only one and not
the highest, for making family atfec-
ton and the expression of such affec-
ton a daily habit of our lives. 1t is
rather a one-sided person who eN-
presses gratitude or affection only to
those outside of his own home. and
leaves those who should be nearest and
dearest to assume that, though he does
not show ii, somewhere in some cham
Der of his heart he loves them.
1t is to the happy, vel ordered home
that the nation must : - E-r Its good
citizens. Qualities OF ''r-fF that go
to make home happy t,-as. also good
friends, good neighbofs .,4ta patriotic
citizens. 1t Is good thing to remem-
Der that Home is not merely four
square walls: nor is it made of brick
and stone"
