ign trade by agreements made by the
bclligerents of Europe for the pur-
pose of damaging each other after
peace is declared We could not do
otherwise than fight for our rights
and Japan would DC compelled to do
likewise.
1t is perfectly legitimate for any
and all OF the nations of the world to
make plans for the the extensionl OF
their foreign trade. Each and evt
cry one of them is entitled to: as
great a share as cal. be obtained IN
a legitimate manner. But the TRACE
of the world cannot be conquered
with arms or by combination OF pow
ers. and any attempt to use either
one or TIE other will bring on another
catastrophe which spell ruin for those
engaged in the enterprise. Ihe
British shipping and colliery merger
is one of the signs of the coming com
pmercial conflict, and that something
sof the kind has been feared is evident
nv the fact that bill has been intro
duced in the Spanish chamber OF de-
puties to prevent foreign capital from
obtaining control of Spanish shipping.
The bill provides that the stock 81
shipping companies shall be nominal
and that only twenty-five per Gent
can be held by foreigners. So urgent
has the matter become that in order
to prevent transfers of stock while
the bill is being discussed King Al
fonso signed decree making IT'S
provisions applicable Immediately
The other neutral nations of Europe
must take action of some kind unless
| willing to risk the swallowing up OF
their shipping by the new half-bii-
| lion dollar combination just compiet
ed in London. 1t might also be well
for the United States to consider
| plans to protect herself.-Salt Lake

If there could be a fair exchange OF

Col. Boothby Reminiscent.
A Personal Letter Which We Obtained
Permission to Publish.


To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL.
Just to congratulate you on entering up
on volume 49, AS before iptimated |
thoroughly enjoy reading The journal.
Beginning In the railroad service so
young it has been my good fortune to
know personally nearly all the news
paper men of Maine; indeed, at a BAN
ouet of the Maine Press association l
happened to mention the names of news
paper men had known, whereupon the
next speaker said he had learned one
thing, and that was to whom to go for
information as to the newspapers of the
State-not newspaper man, but rail-
road man.
| hope you will keep on with your
"Memories of Southern Cite" all so
far familiar to me. Down IN Florida at
a hotel one Sunday they made me talk
and l told of my visits to churches
throughout the country. After | got
through one lady said she hoped none of
us sat in Washington pew in the church
at Alexandria, for some of her party did
and she didn't believe they had got rid
of the bugs yet.
Then in Richmond the church which
Patrick Henry attended, and where in the
yard l believe his remains lie. l never
see it without thinking of the old story,
perhaps familiar to you, of the lecturer
who had Patrick Henry for his theme
and kept running all through the lecture
the "give me liberty or give me death"
phrase. He tells the story that at one
country place he was followed to the
hotel by citizen of the town who said
he had come to enquire as he was curious
to know if "Patrick Henry finally secured
his divorce"
We have several times visited the
church in Richmond where jeff Davis
was attending services when the news
came to him of Lees surrender, and his
pew is always pointed out to strangers.
On the occasion of our first visit we
were being shown around the Capitol by
apparently a Confederate veteran, and
from the dome or cupola he pointed out
locality and remarked: "Right over
there is where Gen. Lee with mere
handful of men kept the whole world at
bay"
Visitors to Richmond should not fail
to visit Hollywood cemetery.
In Richmond l have particular friend,
DR.. George Ross, one of the most emf
nent physicians and surgeon in that city.
He took me to the West Moreland club
one day. where l had the pleasure of
meeting, all in one bunch, Generals
Wheeler, Malone and Pickett. Luckily
they did not ask me if had ever been
in the war. FREDERIC E. BooTHBY.
