The SKIPPER AND HIS DUTIES
( Continued from fist page.)

The "Merchant Shipping Act forbids
any person, except the captain or owner,
to send dangerous goods in any vessel with
out marking the package themselves with
the nature of the contents and at the same
time giving written statement of the con-
signor's name and address and of the con-
tents of the package, to the captain or
owner at the time of shipment. The ex-
preston dangerous goods in this case
means naphtha, benzine, vitriol, or any ex-
plosive substance. The skipper has right
to refuse to carry any package which he
suspects of containing dangerous goods,
and may require it to be opened in order
that he may satisfy himself as to the nature
of its contents. Where any dangerous
goods, or such as the skipper considers
dangerous are sent on board without being
properly marked, the skipper may throw
them overheard; and no legal liability will
attach to him for doing so. In case of
necessity, the skipper can jettison the cargo,
or any part of it, 1t would of course be an
extreme case which would justify the COM
plete iet,ison of cargo. In the same way,
in case of breakdown or heavy weather by
which the ship is delayed and the supply of
coal becomes exhausted, the skipper can
cause the wooden fittings of the ship and
any part of her cargo to be used for fuel.
In no relation in which the skipper finds
himself are there more trying situations
than in those between him and the pas
sengers, and it is here that is made the
greatest call upon him to keep his temper
and to be full of tact and worldly wisdom.
The weaknesses of mankind are generally
accumulated under strange and unaccustomed
conditions and certain classes of passengers
are most unreasonable. They do not seem
to realize that in so conhnd space as ship
that every passenger cannot have suit of
apartments for himself, or that the captain
is in no way responsible for the state of the
weather at sea. There is little yarn told
of a certain skipper who upon being asked
by lady passenger what kind of weather
they were going to have; turned and grow
ed at the fair one. chow the Devil do
know, am not weather prophet" l am
unable to vouch for the truth of that warn
and would advise anyone who hears or read
it to take with liberal dose of SALT 1t is
hardly likely that skipper would answer

nominated four years ago, but unlike Wilson the Republican nominee will not be given the opportunity for displaying his latent powers. At best, he is a compromise can didate. He was not the choice of his party but was considered the most available timber with which to defeat the colonel, who from the noise he made, led wary republicans to entertain the belief that he would develop much more strength than was really back of him. It was not that the Chicago conyen- tioh was looking ahead to victory in Noyem- Der so much as to victory then and there that Hughes was selected as their standard bearer. The colonel must needs be rebuked and Hughes was the most available rebuking material at hand, hence his nomination.
 But should the fates decree that Hughes should win in November and become presi- dent of the greatest republic the world has ever known, affairs of the nation will be safe in his hands. He is an American, am emi- nent American who has served his country with honor to it and credit to himself in the past and, should he be elected to the presi- dency, he will not be found wanting in abil- ity to direct the affairs of the nation.
 We do not believe Nr. Hughes will be elected this fall, but if he is we are suffi- ciently liberal to believe the grand old Ship of State will sail maiestcally on her course with little or no deviation from the change of watch
