The forces of disloyalty and revolution
may have their candidate. But he will
be marked His audacous attempt to
get himself camouhaged at Saratoga as
the Democratic candidate has been de-
feated by deep and inlperious sense OF
patriotism which knows no politics. The
Democratic partys verdict on Hearst
was never in doubt, once the facts were
put in evidence. The Tribune undertook
to do that. For the facts we acknowledge
our Indebtedness to the Hearst news
papers from which we got them. The
presentation of them was very simple
matter. 1t was the nature of the evil
dence that produced the effect.
Hearst's admission of defeat was char
acteristic He promptly attacked the
convention by which he had been name
lessly repudated and denounced it as un-
democratic for presuming to designate
a candidate-that is to say, any candi-
date other than himself He called upon
it to follow the example of the Republi-
can party and leave the selection of
candidates to the primaries on September
3. He thinks of running in the primaries
on platform to be written daily by
Arthur Brisbane. We are not in doubt
as to the result if he does. We are only

13,51s,ooo of New Ship Tonnage

In his address at Notre Dame in
June Chairman Hurley of the Shipping
Board gave these striking figures:
We have total of S19 shipways in the
United States. OF these, 751 are being
utilized for the building of American mer-
chant ships.
In 1919 the average tonnage of all ships
built should be about 5000 tons. If we
can average three ships year per way on
cargo ships we should turn out in one
year 13,51S,0OO tons, which s.more than
has been turned out by Great Britain in
any five years of her history.
1t may be added that this 13,5O0,O00
tons would probably be the equivalent of
more than one-haf of the available sea-
going tonnage in the trade Of the At
lantc in the year the war began. Some
where near this amount of tonnage has
been sunk, damaged beyond repair or
otherwise put out of commission by the
submarine and the casualties of war in
these four years.
The construction of 13,518,00O tons,
therefore, would mean the restoration
of Atlantic shipping to it's ante-war
basis 1t would mean at least the
doubling and possibly tripling of all of
the Atlantic sea-going shipping now
available. 1t would make possible an
army of at least three or four million
men in France.
Can we average three ships per way
per year?
A number of plants, as, for example,
that of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Cor
poration, can be relied upon to produce
at least four 8,800-ton ships each way
each year.
Some new plants, as, for example, the
Skinner & Eddy yard, we. are advised
can be relied on for five 8,80O-ton ships
each way each year.
And we are told that when they are
in full operation some of the new and
most highly perfected plants, as, for ex-
ample, that at Hog Island, could-if run
at anywhere near capacity-produce
possibly six of these large ships per
berth per year.
An average Of three, therefore, does
not seem impossible or fantastic. All
that is needed are the men and the ma
terials. The plants and the machinery
are ready for the job.
Yet we still read of continued short
age of shipyard workers; and at the
same time protests from this industry
and that against their output being cur
tailed, even though it be of products
that cannot remotely be considered as
necessary in war time.
The greatest need in this country still
seems to be "Wake up America" cam
paign Of propaganda.

Railways in Partnership

Mr.. William M. Cook, counsel for the

repute, urges upon the Interstate Com
merce Committee that the government
begin at once to acquire the stocks and
bonds Of all the railroads in the country.
inns with the intent of future govern
mental ownership. Mr. Cook fears that
'he return to the status quo ante would
SIMPLY mean the same old story of perse-
cutlonal regulation by Federal and state
commissions, with consequent depleted
railway credit and inadedqate operation
OF the railroads. Mr. Cook SAYS that at
present prices all the stocks and bonds
OF the railroads could be acquired for
something like eighteen billion dollars.
and correctly adds that at this price thew
would be very cheap. SO far as present
reproduction costs might be reckoned. it
is improbable that the American rail-
roads could be replaced for perhaps twice
this sum.
Practically speaking, government rail-
ways have generally failed and have
rarely if ever been a distinguished sue
cess wherever they have been tried. We
see no reason to believe it would be anv
different in this country
We have often wondered il there might
not be a possible Via media in kind of

There is no reason for example, why even

Back to the Sea!

The sea is the oldest frontier and
the newest. Other frontiers, frontiers
ashore, yield up the ghost and become
prosaic. Not SO the sea. Neither steel
nor steam nor wireless has lessened it's
adventure one degree of blue horizon.
And, as if it's ever-fresh romance were
not enough, enter the war and the u
boat, the greatest pirate, the wickedest
peril, the best enemy for brave men to
fight, the sea has ever held.
No wonder such sinking as the JUS
ticias brings Americans trooping back
to the merchant marine with a will.
There never was a day in the history of
seamen, from Jason to Captain Cook,
when the call of the sea was as loud and
stirring. The American who goes to sea
to-day not only harks back to the proud
est days of our fleets, when the Stars
and Stripes led the clippers of the world
around the Horn and back again. He
risks his life directly in the service of
that flag in combating the chiefest en-
emy the Allies have had to face.
1t is glorious present and thriving
future the American seaman faces. Af-
ter the war our fleets will be the might
est af1oat. They will need the best and
ablest adventurers we possess. They will
offer living on new and better scale
than the sea has ever known They will
have the regard and sustaining will of
nation long neglectful of it's destiny,
but now awakened for all the years to
its outbound trails that lead beyond the
horizon. In industry and in commerce,
as for the handlers of ships, America
cries with one voice, "Back to the sea ="

I'll forgive the heating system
That's all the vogue in France.
Arising in the morning
From a soft and decent bed,

Till they loosen in my head,

HOW TO HELP

[From the Birmingham Age-Herald1
The greatest, the most vital lesson
the people of America are being
taught by this war is the lesson of
thrift. We have been called Nation
of spendthrifts, a charge which was
supported by our wastetnl habits If
We and our allies are TO win a vic
tory over Germany and crush mill
tarism, which menaces the worlds
safety, we must save mot for our
own needs, but for the government
ond our soldiers in France.
1t is a fact to be deplored. but
many American citizens who would
scorn the thought of disloyalty do
not yet fully realize the RESPONSE
bilities resting on every man,
woman, and child in this country,
Each individual must do his or her
part, for it is only by concerted
effort that the objects for which we
are fighting can be gained. This is
neither a rich mans nor a poor
mans war-it is a war of the people
and for the people.
| Buying War Savings Stamps and
Liberty Bonds is not only the safest
investment that can be made; it |:
the easiest and most direct way tc
aid our government. People Of
means can buy Liberty Bonds with
out making pecuniary sacrifices
Their sacrifices must be made III
other ways, but for the vast majority
of our citizenship to do their full
duty in the greatest crisis the ma
ton has ever faced, they must eco
nomize. They must put the money
that formerly went for luxuries anC
frivolous amusements into th'
hands of the government, to be uset
in paying the staggering expenses
of the war. They will in time prof
and profit largely by so doing. They
will not only be paid a fair rate Of
interest on the best security, bu
they will acquire competence
through government aid. They will
become better men and women anC
better citizens
