What the Merchant Marine Needs.

Mr.. Alexander X. Smith, the editor Of
THE Marine News" has written Us
letter from which the following is an
extract:
] have read with much interest your edi-
torial or THE Revised Shipping Bill" in
the esteemed Tribune of February /. and
Is it is perfectly clear that the Administra-
tons measure is unattrsctive to you. as il
is unattractive to a large majority OF the
people of the country will you not say what
you regard as the most desirable policy for
TIC nation TO adopt by which to restore
American ships TO our oversee carrying? The
Administration complains o. destructive"
criticism and the lack OF constructive sug
gestion.
We are glad TO respond TO Mr.. Smiths
suggestion. although The Tribunes opin-
ion as to the best means of restoring our
merchant marine has been expressed very
frankly on many occasions. So far as
governmental aid is concerned the present
situation is exceptional. No assistance
from the Federal Treasury is now needed.
American shipowners can more than take
care of themselves so long as war scale
rates for transportation continue Profits
from shipping are phenomenal. Only the
other day one of Charles w. Morse's new
steamship companies declared a dividend
of 100 per cent. Another declared a diyi
dend of % per cent. Nearly all our Amer
lean steamship lines seem to be flourish
ing. the only signs of Encouragement
coming from the Pacific. where the La
Toilette law has imposed much too severe
a handicap on American vessels compel
ing with the japanese.
The hour for constructive action will
strike when the war ends. Then VIC shall
have to extend governmental aid to Amer
lean ships, which will be exposed to severe
competition at lowered rates with the ship.
ping OF the nations now fighting one an
other Our vessels cost more TO operate
end carry heavier fixed charges than those
Of any other country. 1t is obvious, even
if we get rid of the La Toilette bill and its
injurious Determinations against Ameri-
can shipowuerS. that we shall either have
10 do something TO overcome the economic
disadvantage against us or drop back to
our old dependence ON other nations for
sea carriage.
The Tribune believes that when the war
ends the United states should use the
same means to build up its merchant
marine AS most of the successful mari
lime nations have used. We favor literal

William p. Hepburn.

William p. Hepburn Will be remembered
as public man well out of the common
rut. He had qualities which set him apart
in the House of Representatives, in which
body he exercised an influence based solely
on his personal gifts and character. He
never sought leadership in the ordinary
sense. He never stopped 10 the arts which
usually win that sort Of recognition. lie
was no log-roler and he served no inter-
ests which could reward him by political
advancement He was his own master,
end held his freedom as public man
above any honors which subservlency TO
powers outside the House or submissive
ness to the machine within it might bring
him. Thus he disqualified himself for ad-
vancements which men inferior to hlm IN
quality and independence might easily OBJ
tain.
Mr.. Hepburn has been frequently de-
scribed as a Representative "of the old
school" He belonged to the older gen

CONSIDER MOSCOW
AS GOOD LOCATION
INDICATIONS NOW POINT TO
CLAY PRODUCTS PLANT BEING
ESTABLISHED In MOSCOW
E. j. Shaw, an Expert, PrOnOunces
Property First Class-Sites
Being Considered

The Moscow Brick & Clay Products
company, which owns a valuable clay
deposit near Joel, may finally decide
to construct it's plant in Moscow. This
was determined at a meeting OF the
directors today when three different
sites in Moscow were considered. The
company also has an option on a site
at the clay deposits at JOEL
The matter will be presented to the
Chamber of Commerce in an effort to
secure further local support and in
the event sufficient stock is subscrib-
ed for with which to purchase the
Moscow site, the factory will be bnilt
in this city.
1t is estimated that the plant will
cost $4,000 for the first unit and that
at the beginning from 16 to 20 men
will be employed. The cost of the
site will be less than $2500.
E. j. Shaw, Seattle representative of
the American Clay Machinery compa-
nv of Bucyrus, Ohio, visited the prop
erty today and made an inspection of
the deposits. He pronounced the clay
to be absolutely first class and stated
to the directors that the deposit would
warrant the construction of plant.
He declared the property to be one OF
the best in the country. He was ac-
companied to the deposits at Joel by
officers and directors of the company.

TRAGIC DEATH
OF MOSCOW MAN
THEODORE TOBIASON, PIONEER
RESIDENT. OF CITY, MURDER
ED IN COLD BLOOD
Attacked by Italian in His Spokane
Store And Shot DOwn-Was in
Moscow Two Days Ago

The entire city was shocked this
morning when news was received
from Spokane that Theodore Tobiason
a pioneer of this city, had met his
death when an angry Italian shot
him in the course of an alteration,
which occurred yesterday afternoon
at the Star Millinery store, on River
side avenue, Spokane.
Mr.. Tobiason made a visit to Mos
COW only two days ago, and was the
guest while here of H. Melgard, Of
the First Trust & Savings bank.
Mr.. Tobiason was born in Fredrik-
shald, Norway, 54 years ago, and came
to America when he was young
man. He came to Moscow in the early
CO.'S and has made this city
his headquarters every since, al
though he has spent much time the
past four years with his sons, who un-
til early in the spring operated a
store at Elk River, of which their fa-
ther was owner. Besides the three
sons, Harry, Raymond, and Clyde, two
daughters survive, Mrs. Inga Mykle-
bust who was living in Spokane and
working in the millinery store in
which the tragedy occurred, and Mrs.
Amanda Vroman, who resides at 9th
clio, Wn. All the children received
their education in the Moscow schools.
Mr. Tobiason was the owner of ex-
tensive land holdings, among them be-
ing his residence at 719 Mabelle ave-
nue., this city, the store at Elk River,
and the store building on Main street
now occupied by w. A. Lauder Grain
& Feed company.
Because Mr.. Tobiason had such
peaceful disposition I was very much
shocked to hear that he had been the
victim of a shooting fray. He was
sober, reliable citizen. | have seen
him make the most of almost insur-
difficulties and have always
had the greatest confidence in him.
says Mr. Melgard, who was very
close friend Of the family.
Mr.. Tobiason was member of the
local Modern Woodman lodge, having
become member many years ago. His
assailant was arrested and charged

BERLIN, July IA severe check has
been administered to the British in the
combined Anglo-French offensive, ac-
cording to reports received here. The
British suffered unusually heavy
losses. Since the opening day of the
British attack, General Haig's army
has been unable to make important
gains against the German line. Forced
to abandon the shell wrecked first
line of trenches the Germans retired
to a second line where they threw back
from time to time the British infantry
assaults. The manner in which the
Germans stood the first shock has in
spired confidence in Berlin that antic-
ipated later assaults will be repulsed.
