Often l have wondered why the soda
fountain proprietors continue to boost
the price of drinks. and in my ignorance
l attributed it to desire on their part
to get rich quick at the expense Of the
long suffering public. The price of milk
shakes was advanced from five cents to
ten. egg shakes skipped from 10 to Is.
college ices took a similar leap. and 50
on. But no longer do I wonder that
higher prices are charged. Last night
was near a Bangor soda fountain
when four girls came in and ordered re-
freshments. The man behind the coun-
ter, you see, has to listen to the CONVEX

EXPERIENCE WILL TEACH.

Government operation of our merchant fleet
lis to continue by law for five years after the
war. While our ships were privately owned
legislation by theorists and doctr1naires hamp-
cred their operation in innumerable ways. just
as in the case of railroads, persistent attempts
were made to legisfate on theories without re-
gard for facts; but now that our government
must deal with conditions as they are it prob
ably will be compelled to do these very things
1t refused to permit the private owners of ships
to do.
If anything is clear it is that our government
built merchant marine cannot be operated
proftably under existing laws. A single illus
tration will suffice to prove this. A crew of
thirty-eIght an American steamship costs
two thousand, eight hundred and eighty dollars
a month. Crews of the same size cost the Brit
ish shipowner one thousand, three hundred and
eight dollars and the japanese shipowner seven
hundred and seventy -seven dollars month.
1t Is evident that we cannot compete with them
commerce carriers unless we subsidize our
ships or amend our laws.
Our fleet has been built at top notch prices
for labor and materials. Private owners could
not afford to buy vessels at cost as yards will
build ships cheaper from now on; and if they
buy them at the present cost of construction,
they could not, as our laws stand, operate them
without a loss. The hopeful feature of the sit
uation is that by the time the government is
content to leave to private management the OPP
Grafton of merchant fleet it will have learn
ed by experience what legislation, aid or en-
couragement the business needs in order to hold
its own against the competition of the world.

THE WOODEN SHIP sLuNpga

the state of Washington hes advoca-
ted the sale abroad Of $50 wooden
ships contracted for, or else cancel
lation OF the contracts. Work upon
them has been suspended and it is pro-

ton, to whom the letter was addressed.
WIS interested on account of the lum-
Der supply and building yard in his
state. Senator Fletcher Of Florida.
chairman of the senate commerce
committee, has uttered a protest
against abandoning the construction
of a multitude of wooden vessels.
The establishment of building yards
on the coast of his state may have
something to do with his objection.
The feet is that the whole wooden
sEiDbuiiding scheme was blunder
from the start, not necessarily because
an increased number of these vessels
might be useful on the lakes and
along the coast for the release of steel
steamships for service across the
ocean. The scale on which it was pro-
posed, the necessity of constructing
large yards for the work, the need OF
a thorough seasoning of a great guam
tity of material cut out or forests In
the far west or the south, with a keen
ly interested person at the head OF
the shipping board, made scandal
OF 1t from the start and almost caused
a split in the executive government.
The plan for most of this wooden
SHIPPING for war service, to which it
was poorly adapted on any line. was
such as to make ii practically worth
less in time of peace. It is time now
for the government to get out of the
building scheme altogether as one of
its sorry extravagances. Wooden ship

lsague OF nations at all. BY treaty,
by IN international assembly called
for the purpose of agreeing upon prin-
ciples OF International law, we can
clear up many of the difficulties
which have hitherto confronted the

When | argue that we should not
enter an International league / do
not mean to say that we should not
by treaty agree upon code of inter-
national law or enter upon many
mutual undertakings the performance
of which rests in the honor and good
| faith OF nations.
What Code Will Be Used?
Is the league to guarantee the
sta bility OF the governments of the
different countries that are permitted
to become members? If so. no mon
archial or tyrannical government can
ever be oyerthrown, because its
power will be sustained by the league
of nations.
by what code OF ethics and morals
are we to settle the questions that
arise from time TO time among the
members of this league of nations?
Are they to have a tribunal that Is.
to decide these questions; and if not,
| how are the questions to be decided?
If they have tribunal, it will be
composed of the partisans of each ma
ton, and under existing conditions.

A FRENCH REMINDER.

We miss some Of the amenities of peace dis
cussions by getting 9 bet up'' about the matter.
For instance, Stephen Lauzanne, editor in chief
Of the Paris Natin, while rebuking the pub
Lefty given to reports Of dissension between
cur allies and ourselves over peace prelimin-
aries remarked: America came late into the
war but came with saving haste and force, and
all with comparative quiet she is first III the
peace and not 50 quiet" 1t is not the way of
French wit to labor point. NJ. Lausanne stop
ped with this bit but it takes little imagination
to see the finish Of his thought.
There is not going to be a squabble between
the allies before peace making is fairly under
way; this would be to prove the war failure
and its critics in a measure right. We I'M
doubtedly put into the fight the strength need
ed to win it. We did this with a will and as NJ
Lausanne said with all the modesty expected of
us. Just now we are making great individual
''to-do" about our preparation to assist at the
peace councils, but after all we are not going to
make the peace nor are we to dictate how it is
to be made. Why should WEI The query
seems logical in the mind of Frenchman. We
are to safeguard our interests see to it our
promises are kept and enter agreement as to the
future. As spokesman for the great creditor
nation, for the nation best equipped to lead the
industrial recovery the war made necessary
President Wilson commands worldwide atten-
ton. What he says Will be carefully weighed
and will count for its worth to the full in peace
determination. 1t would so count wherever he
said it.
But with all anxiety, disappointments
and fears about peace making we are not to
pear the burden of it alone; nations that fought
tour years and more; that ran their indebted

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Republican: We may
be surprised to find how easily this
country will run along with no man
in the white house. After all we are
more OF a self governing people
than we realize. Even a president is
not as essential as we make him ap-
pear in the newspapers-or as presi-
dents get in the habit of thinking
of themselves.
