Dfitain Getting Ready.

British capitalists attempting TO
purchase ships owned by an Ameri-
can company-the transaction in
volving between 150,000,000 and
5000, 900, 900 the administration
quietly intimated that loans to the
British government would not be con-
tinued il the sale was completed.
There is the high hand Of American
autocracy operating to prevent the
sale of private property. But what
was the object Of the British CAPT.
talists? They entered into this. plan
because they knew that under their
private management they could oper-
ate freight vessels cheaper than could
the United States under the system of
government operation and control.
and thereby get the freights to and
from this country. Not being able to
secure these vessels by purchase, be-
cause of usurpation of power by the
administration. they will doubtless go
ahead and build, or secure boats else
where, with the same end in view,
namely. to compete with the Ameri
can carrying trade.
The cost of operating American
vessels. even under private control, is
considerably greater than that of
British and other European maritime
nations in operating their ships, be-
cause we pay our sailors far more.
and feed them far better. But the
cost of operating American ships un-
der government control will be in
fnitely greater than under private
control, because the government is q
waster. Yet Hurley. and our social
lied Democracy advocate government
control. The Republicans ask only
for reasonable aid to American ship
ping in private and Efficient hands.
That is the practical way.
And yet we have no peace problems
because American business travels
faster than the government can keep
up, we are told by the President.

Editorial Comment
Watson a Candidate :?
-(Bath Times)

Speaking Of the possible candidates
for the Presidency in 1920, Senator
Bert NJ. Fernald of Maine features
the prediction that Senator James f.
Watson of Indiana, is today the most
logical person to whom that honor
may be accorded at the Republican
National convention.
This prediction made by one of our
Maine senator's, and endorsed by JUS
tice Philbrook, in the presence OF a
little gathering about the big fire.
place in the Augusta House, was to a
representative of The Times who had
asked the senator's opinion as to the
outlook.
OF course many things happen TO
change the political complexion Of
things but that Senator Watson is a
man of great strength, particularly
through the middle West. is admitted
Nv all conversant with political con-
ditions.
While a member of the House, dur
ing the Mckinley administration. he
became the party whip. In making the
selection Of the whip of the party
OILY a SlIOHS, SiiSi toSeiS man
is chosen and he SO acquitted himself
in his work that he continued to ex-
ercise that authority throughout the
time that he remained in the House.
In the Senate he has already won
distinctive recognition and has made
a strong impression for the forceful
manner in which he handles legisla-
tive matters and is considered pow
er in Washington.
Senator Watson is said to be a,
great mixer. as well as great leg
islator. He is said to have a marvel
Gus memory, a keen sense of wit and
a gree. stickler for justice. He never
forgets an acquaintance and his
memory Of names and dates is some
thing remarkable.
Col. Edward c. Plummer OF this
city is q warm admirer Of Senator
Watson and in speaking of the possi-
bility of his nomination Col. Plum
mer said to The Times today:
81 recall one little incident which
goes to prove the great power which
Watson possesses as an orator and a
man who can meet most any occasion
which may ARISE. we WeTc III w iUIl-
peg where we had been attending, as
delegates, the session of the supreme
lodge, knights Of Pythias. 1t was in
1914, the great war had just broken
out and there was big meeting in
Winnipeg in which many prominent
men were to speak. among them the
Governor General of Canada. Sena-
tor Watson was asked to speak for
America. I shall never forget the
enthusiasm which greeted his re-
marks. At the conclusion the ap-
plause was 80 long continued and
deafening that he was obliged to re-
turn and resume his speaking, which
was something remarkable, as think
YOU will admit. The ovation given
him was the greatest of any speaker
at the meeting and his speech was
far and away ahead of the other
speakers"
Senator Watson has for many
years been in charge of the law de-
partment Of the Knights OF Pythias.
