TINkERtNG THE SHIPPING BILL.

Stirred by the successful revolt on
the Philippines bill and by the rejec.
ton of the government owned nitrate
plant which the army bill proposes,
administration leaders in congress are
now attempting to modify the provis.
ions of the shipping bill so as to avert
another defeat for one OF the presi-
dents pet measures.
There is good ground for the fear
which this course evidences. The same
men who were most active in Oppoai.
ton to the Philippines bill are opposed
to the shipping bill. Their opposition
is not so much with reference to de-
tails of the measure as to the under
lying principle of government owner
ship-and it is doubtful if they can be
won to support the proposition in any
form. However, the sub committee
which has the bill in charge is now
endeavoring to tinker the project so
as to. make it applicable only for five
years, at the end OF which time the
sold, and if no customer appears they
are to be withdrawn from operation.
In this form the measure would he
"a mere makeshift and costly one at
that. 1t might save the president 5
face" but there is no warrant OF law
for expanding millions Of public mon.
ey for that purpose. Moreover. it is
extremely doubtful il the shipping bill
can command majority Of the house
no matter how it is tihkered There is
suspicion of the bills origin in Wash.

the administration leaders who are now
taxing their brains with the problem
really wish TO do something effective
with the shipping bill they will forth

Washington. May 1G-(Special Cor

eial legislation which we enact in the
future" said the president OF New
York manufacturing concern who was
in. washington recently.
Japan is putting 1t all over us with
Tespect to the tar eastern trade, and
the seamens law has given her such
monopoly Of the carrying trade on
the Pacific ocean that we are absO-
lutely at her mercy. The situation is
we'll summed up in a letter which we
recently received from an American
firm with which we do business in
China They say: Japanese ships
now practically control the commerce
between the States and China, and
these are ordered by the Japanese gov
ernment to give Japanese ports the
IEeafrenca I'm tca1 Ting fdr cargo, while
Japanese shippers in China receive
preferential treatment
Immediately upon the passage Of
the seamen's law. which drove Amer
ican shipping off the Pacific, Japan
raised her freight rates. From the Pa
cific coast to Shanghai -four freights
have advanced from 81 to $50 per ton;
steel products from So to $50; gen
eral cargo from $1,000 to $40. With
her control of shipping facilities ia.
pan is able absolutely to dictate the
terms on which we shall do business
in the orient We have reports from
one corporation on the coast which
has 100000 tons of freight awaiting
transportation to the orient, with only
1900 to 400 tons of cargo space per
month available On Japanese boats.

seamen's law were not enough. Japan

Britain by rigidly enforcing the Brit.
isll enemy trading regulations. A
large amount of our trade with China
before the war was handled through
German and Austrian houses. Today
the Japanese shipping companies have
placed ban on any cargOes consigned
to- these houses and the enemy trad
ing. regulations are being handled in
away to further British and Japanese
interests as much as possible.
t.G"As an indication of the aid which
the democratic party is giving Japan,
by foolish legislation, let me call at
tention to the fact that during the cal
endar years 1914 and 1915. with the
democratic tariff law on the statute
books, Japan sent US goods to the
value of $214, 200, 600. and took from us
during those two years but $l04. 900

During the eight months of the Gs

Hard to Follow.

Lake Park News: We believe in up
holding the president of the United
States in all the positions where hon.
or of the country is at stake, but we
are free to confess that our mind is
just a little befGddled at times over
the action taken by President Wilson
We cannot just see why he contends
for the warning of Americans to get
out and keep out of Mexico until such
time as there Is settled peace in that
country. and at the same time insists
that Americans may travel as they
please to foreign countries, and have
a right to. even II thereby they in
volve this nation in war in order to
protect them in so doing. 1t would
seem as though one course or the
other was wrong.

A MISTAKEN THEORY.

Cedar Rapids Republican: A Mrs.
Robert Liggett, of Duluth. is the lat
est woman to lose her senses. She
has new theory and it is that there
is nothing sacred about motherhood;
that it is now all bosh. She saw that
all cultured and refined women ought
to be relieved of such duties and that
the propagation osH: the race ought TO
be made the duty of the "lower" class,
es, entirely SO. They can stand it
better than the nervous specimens of
the race; supposed to be found among
the cultured. II that is the truth would
it not be better TO lop off little Of
the culture and keep the woman fit
for the animal functions that nature
conferred upon them. not III dishonOr
but in glory, VIC must continue to be-
|lieve? We have cultivated flowers SO
that they have lost the powers of re-
production, except in artificial ways.
1t Is possible that we may have been
doing the same with human beings
But is it the way OF wisdom? What
is there left of wOmanhOOd when this
essential, primitive, persistent ability
has been taken away from her? What
would wealth, beautiful homes, cul
ture and all such things mean to Ell
ther men or women, were they not
enlivened with the laughter of chill
dren? What culture is superior to the
culture of children? Would not Mrs.
Liggett's proposition mean the despoil.
ing of human life itself? Why is it
that so many women who become "ad
vanceP dream so persistently OF do
ing everything except what nature had
in mind when women were created?
Is nature at fault. blunderer. and
are the Mrs. Liggetts really superior
to the wisdom of Almighty God Him.
self?
Much better for women, for the hI.
man race and the world, 1t seems to
us, would be for women to abandon
many of the cultural tendencies and
return to the simple life of nature
than to follow such ideas TO such RI
diculous ends. Women will be vastly
happier and better off in every way
by following more closely to nature
than by following the artificial paths
laid down by women who have nothing
to do except to worry themselves a.
bout the mistakes of nature and the
problems of the so-callcd higher life.
