(Synopsis of preceding chapters: It
is great day in the life of Theeby
Tibbitts, Jr., last of a notorious line of
fortune hunters, when he is accepted by
the fair and fabulousiy wealthy Virgin
ia Smeer, daughter of Watchmee Smeer
the cheese king. In order to get in right
Theeby determines to roam the world
in search of the finest and most expen-
sive engagement ring that ever decor
ated q dear ones digit. Searching for
the unique gem, he mingles with rob-
bers in Robbania, assassins in the As
sassincachian Mountains, pirates in the
Piratetes, yandals i'll Vandalusia, and
highwaymen in Hiawaita-while. He has
many narrow escapes, twice being shot
at in the Straits and once in the fibula
He unearths and rejects priceless ole
marious opals, diddlecuss diamonds, ru-

mines. He returns and rings the front

taking sides with the superintendent of the prison as
against subordinate of the latter 1t also asserts the
Capital Journal accused the governor of Intentionally

is the father of that industry and ntmates ne would not
deliberately stick prod into his bantlng AS to being
political enemy of the governorWel we say what we
think ought be said about the official acts OF any Office
holder and that makes the governors political enemy
we can't help it.
Our contemporary however, has nothing to back its
other statements The Capital Journal did not say
word about the governor siding with the superintendent
as against the manager of the flax plant but asserted
that some way could have been found to prevent the
friction without letting the qualified for the
handling Of the flax plant co. The Capital Journal said
not word as to the intentions Of the governor but sim
ply asserted he had stabbed the flax industry We re-
peat the assertion and emphasize it. We not close
enough to the governor to act his mouthpece to
know what his intentions are The governor is nice
enough old gentleman when he is allowed to have his own

Rippling Rhymes
THANKSGIVING
BY Walt Mason

There's much, on this Thanksgiving, we
should be grateful for, although we now
are living beneath the shadeof war Though
we may push the dagger in foemen, to the
hilt, when from the scrap we stagger,
therell be no sense of guilt. We did not
start to scatter the blood around in show
ers, no treaties did we shatter, the rough
house is not ours. The trouble we evade so
long the neighbors cried that dollar lust had
faded our courage and our pride. Not to
impose our kultur on other nations schools
do we ply catapult or the other deadly tools.

Foreign Ships In coastwise Trade

THE House Of Representatives has passed
i bill. without the formality of a roll
call, which repeats one Of the archaic enact
ments Of our government. This bill permits
foreign ships to engage In the coastwise trade
Of the United States. under certain conditions
and smashes a monopoly which has never had
any logical place In American business life.
It may have been necessary after the War
Between the States to protect local coastwise
shipping from competition Such protection
may have even justified government SUBJ
sidy for time, but to have barred COM
petitors for all time from the port-to- port
shipping Of this country was as illogical and
burdensome in its way to legalize
Standard Oil monopoly or the beef trust.
But the shipping interests. which, by the way.
were largely allied with the railroads until
the passage Of the Panama Canal act have
had influence enough in legislation to main
tain this monopoly for more than half
century They have controlled all the do
nestle merchant marine we have had, and
have severely limited the volume of 1t to suit
their own convenience. The natural conse-
quence has been that our coastwise freight
movement has been comparatively neglible
certainly so In proportion to the whole ton
mage which is moved from coast city to
coast city.
The first step toward breaking this mo-
nopoly was the passage of the Panama Canal
ownership or interest in competing steamship
lines This act Is being enforced under the
discretion Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and already 1t has set free most of
the important coastwise steamer lines. Act
ing under their freedom from railroad re-
straint, they have gone into the market for
fair share Of the freight tonnage, and most
OF them are prospecting. When the pending
bill becomes law, foreign steamships may
compete with our domestic lines. Ultimately
this will mean far cheaper freight rates and
far greater tonnage. 1t will mean that
we will again turn to our water routes for
much of freight movement along our coast
Incidentally. 1t will vastly relieve the rail-
roads, circumstance OF particular value to
the trade world just at this time. Every
energy is being strained by the land car
riers to deliver the tonnage that is offered
them. but even SO. almost daily we hear Of
this rail line or that being forced to declare
an embargo to prevent congestion at ter
minals.
1t is important to remember In this con-
nection that the Federal government is turn
ing again to our inland waterways for the
movement of large part of our interior
tranic. For years river steamship and barge
lines have been Withdrawing more and more
from business. Railroad competition was
too exacting and shippers were too impatient
for deliveries. But the growth Of business
has exceeded the growth of the railroad
facilities. and waterway transportation upon
our rivers Is undergoing a far-reaching re-
yiyal
