CHAN CELLOR TO
 STAY IN OFFICE, HIS FRIENDS SAY

Berlin, March 21-Friends of the Imperial Chancellor, pr. Won Beth mann-Hol1weg, are now quite conf dent that he has well in hand the political situation connected with the displacement of Admiral Won Tirpitz as minister of marine and that there need be no fear that it will develop into what is termed a, chancellor's >crisis. They believe the national lib era1 and conservative resolutions, call ingN for unlimited use of submarines against hostile vessels, with the ex- ception of passenger ships. may not sion and a vote in the Reichstag.
 The prime movers in the agitation, pr. Won Heidebrand, conservative leader in the Reichstag, and Major Ernst Basserman, national liberal leader, have avoided introduction of interpel1ations to which the chancellor would be forced to reply and have chosen to clothe their proposals in the form of resolutions which, unless they are made urgent measures, will take their place in the regular order of resolutions. So many other inn portant resolutions have precedence that discussion of the submarine pro- posaIs inu this event would be post poned indefinitely. In any case the
 
 the subject matter of the resolutions unless he, is compelled to do so.
 The movement which found expres- sion in the resolutions is composed of two constituent elements. First, there is the large body of popular opinion which, honestly interested in the submarine weapon, desires that it may have opportunity to display it's efficacy unhampered by political restrictions. Second, there are those who are now and-1ong have been desirous of having another chapcellor -one who would permit discussion of peace terms, the projects of the an- nexatfonists and the sharpening of the submarine campaign, regardless of political dangers. This element would recognize the idea of Prussian Franchise reform after the war and administer a check to the Socialists as a party.
 The chancellor, his friends say, has proved much stronger than his op- ponents expected, both at headquar- ters where he won in the test of strength, and among the people where he has widespread support, particu- larly of the great body of the lower middle classes.

lin the United States on an average of about one mile per hour when it should move practically as expe- ditiously as any other commodity. ( The statement has been repeated ly made that the men do not want an enght-hour day. but ares imply af- ter an increase in wages. This ab- surd statement has no basis in fact, as the men do not want the overtime, and the only way to stop the working of the men overtime is to put a pen alty on the use of overtime, so that the railroads would move trains more expeditiously and be more saving in their use of the menis overtime work. Pay for overtime to the work CT is blood money, this money is made after the man is worm out, needs sleep and rest, and digs at his very vitaIs, and makes him old before his time.
 eight hours work, eight hours sleep and eight hours to pass with their families and they ask for no overtime and no so-called exor bitant pay.
 The manufacturers and shippers are constantly brought face to face with our shortages throughout the United States, which condition is largely brought about by slow transportation of so-ealled dead freight. If cars loaded with this. dead or slow moving freight were handled more rapidly to destination, unloaded and returned to service, the company would earn a greater revenue on each car, which in crease alone would offset any addi- tfonal expense the company would sustain in making the change. Keep the trains moving by giving them the amount of tonnage they can handle over tie division and it will be se1- dom that the trip cannot be made in eight hours.
 There is no good. logical reason why railway and train service men should not be, on an eight hour basis Before the Federal 16-hour law was enforced the companies worked the men 20 pr 30 hours, but after this law became effective they found they could get the trains through in 14 or 15- hours, and they will find this can be just as easily Cut to eight hours as it was from 30 to 16 hours It needs only the cooperation of the company officials with the men to make san eight hour day on railroads a blessing, and at the same time knock the shackles off of sos, ,174 rail- road men in the.

..RED-HEAD, GINGER BREAD''
..Red-head. ginger bread!"

.Red-head, ginger bread!' A bunch of Pittsburgh youngsters ranging from eight to twelve years in age. were on their way home from 1 school. They met another gang ot kids, and one of them sang out the 1 insulting doggere1.
 E Red-head, ginger breadl" l There was no room for doubt as to who was meant. There was only one ,sorrel-top in the crowd-a husky weIl-built youth who answered to the name of Frank Moran. The Irish in him rose at this taunt. The color of his hair he considered, was his own bus. 7ess.
 Here. hold my books he said to one of his companions, and straight way peeled his coat. The boy who had cast aspersfons on Franks I1ir- sute ernb bel1ishments put up his hands and assumed an attitude as near like that of the pugs pictured in the ''pinks'' as he could manage.
 In a moment the two lads were at if, their companions gathering around and urging them on with excited cries The code of the Marquis of Queensberry had nothing to do with this combat. After the manner of boys, they s1ugged and wresried until one went down with the other on top. The under lad,. his eye b1acl1en- ed and his nose bleeding copiously shouted '+Nuff!" Whereat the ''retl- head arose, received the congratuIa- ton of his friends, and went on his way rejoicing
 Such was the beginning of Frank Moran's fighting career. If his hair had been any other color than what it is, he might now be following any one of a multitude of other trades or professions than the one in which he has won fame and the right to chaI- Ienge Jess Willard. Time and again the youngster did batc1e in defense of his hair. Occasionally he was lick ed, but he always taught his foe due respect for red-heads. The time cam when the color of Franks hair was decidedly, taboo as a subject of con- Versation or coniment among young Moranis companions.
 To go back a little further in this truthful history, it was just twenty nine years ago, on March 1s 1887. debut in a house at the corner of Lake and Alabama. avenues in the city of Cleveland. His father was @ native of County Mayo and his moth CT came from Tfppereary, and in spite of the accident of FOhio birth Frank was Irish too.
 When Frank was four or five years old the Morans removed to Pittsburgh with their brood. The blonde boy battIed his way through the public ar parOcnIal SenOOIS or the smoky City. He fought only when called ''red-head,' 'sserrel-top,'' or Mick which was quite frequently until he had succeeded in impressing~ his pugi1istic supremacy upon his com- pstnions.
 Moran's first money fight was stag ed in a caboose. Some railway men who had heard of Franks fistic proW- ess found great delight in digging up tough kids to meet the pugRacious Hibernian. The first of these con- tests was for purse of five cents,

THE BLACKLIST-The blacklist
is always a legitimate mode of en-
forcing ones will.
The fact that so. much fuss is
made over the blacklisting Of certain
American firms only shows how lit
tie we think about, the principles
upon which we, act.
The tyrant and oppressor -avails
himself of all means to enforce his
will, but the inoffensive and peacea-
bic. individual has only one weapon,
the blacklist.
This principle is grounded in equal
freedom which involves the right of
choice and discrimination.
One or more individuals who re-
fuse to associate, trade or in any way
deal with another or others are in
principle blaGklisting the other or
others.
1t is clear that any number of per-
sons may Tightfully refuse to assO-
ciate or deal with murdereTs, thieves
or merely dissolute persons, and
while these may seem to be prompted
bv more cOmmendable motives than
others, such as employers who dis
eliminate on grounds of religion,
uniOnism or age, but the principle
underlying the act is the same.
If there is injustice suffered by the
parties affected we must look else
where for the effective cause. '
Not the owners of houses who

children nor the tenants who choose
to live where there are no children

Secret societies whose members
give each other preference socially,
commercially or politically are in
effect blacklisting all nOn-members.
Strikes and boycotts also are in
principle blacklists.
But the effects of all these are in
significant beside the blacklist of
protective tariff which excludes from
a cOuntry's markets the products of
foreign producers. In this form of
blacklist the U. S: .excels all other ma
lions.
Even if we disregard principle and
judge the act by, the amount of in

exclusion of a few select firms, as the
English government has done, or
that produced indirectly by tariff
which bars all foreign producers in
certain lines, the U. S. is still by far
