BAN ON BRITISH
WHEAT URGED
BEFORE SENATE
Embargo Proposed in Re-
taliation for England's
Recent Restriction.
FAITH WITH FARMERS
Weeks Resolution Aims to
Protect Labor and Com
bat High Prices.

Placing Of an embargo by the Unit
ed States against any shipments OF
wheat from Canada, Australia or
other portions of the British Empire
was proposed in the Senate yester-
day as a retaliatory measure against
the embargo order issued by Great
Britain against American manufac-
tured goods.
Senator McCumber, of North Da-
kota, who proposed this legislation
in the midst of a debate on the Weeks
resolution, said he believed action OF
this kind would be necessary in or
der to keep the word of the govern
ment to pay the farmers of the Unit
ed States the guaranteed wheat price.
I'VE will have to do something of
that kind" he said, IF the govern
ment is not going to lose several hun
dred million dollars in sustaining the
market price of wheat"
Senator Hoke Smith, OF Georgia.
also suggested that action of this kind
might be needed For this reason. he
said. he did not understand why any
one should oppose the Weeks resO-
luton, which asks the State Depart
ment for information as to what is
being done to combat the British re
striction.
The Washington herald., 1919-02-07

Suppose we do place an embargo on
Canadian wheat" Senator Smith said
Does anyone doubt that il We do 50
Great Britain would inquire about it?
No important act takes place here af-
feCting the commerce of Great Britain
which is not given very careful con-
sideratiOn and we know exactly what
Great Britain thinks about it.
Senator King, of Utah, said he be-
lieved the resolution was impertinent.
and Senator WoICott. of Delaware.
expressed similar opinion. Senator
Weeks said he could not understand
this attitude, and declared that it was
time this country was giving some
attention to its own industries.
The question of idle labor in this
country is involved, for example. -
Senator Weeks said: "If We are to
have an embargo placed upon our
manufacturing industries and the
products of our Industries. it is going
to lessen to that extent the amount OF
work our people can do in this coun-
try. Senators will find that there will
he a positive and insisteut demand
from the industries in their OWN
States that they be not impaired by
any such action.
THE time has come when We must
protect our domestic interests, and
unless We do so We are going to have
n recurrence of matters that are
brought to The attention of the Sem
ate every morning. such as reports
of men out of work, of strikes and
disorders of various kinds. We must
give that matter our fullest attention.

Age 10 years, blue eyes, brown hair,
good teeth, about feet 10 in. tall,
weight about 1870 pounds. Last heard
from at Shakan July 80, last years,
said to have left for ketchikan about

COMMUNICATION
Mr.. Editor:

Allow ma space In your vsluabIe
paper TO call attention to the water
front property Of ketchikan. ! have
been moving around from dock to
dock trying to have repairs done on
my boat and take on stores, and out
side of thu Northern Machine Works,
and the two cold storases there Is
no means for a person to get up or
down from boat, and suppose the
three mentioned would be like the
rest only for their own benefit. Now
all the business done in the town Is
done by boat and ninety-nine per
cent is small boats. 1t is true there
are a few floats which the very small
ones lay to, but even at that, they
have not got half room enough, they
damned up so they smash them
selves up every blow which causes
great loss to owners. Now the larger
boats cannot lay to the floats even If
there were more of them as they
would smash up the small ones. 1t
would be a case Of survival of the fit,
test.
Now, surely, the boats and schoon-
ers coming to ketchikan bring
enough business to the town for the
city or some one else to afford steps
nailed on the pilling for the accomo-
dation of the men who man them.
You have had and will have great
many accidents by men getting off
and on the boats. Some were killed,
some drowned and quite few hurt
or manned for life. A few years ago
am man went to Washington to try
and betteI conditions for the fisher
men with poor success but had he
stayed at ketchikan and put steps on
his wharf he would be helping them
great deal more.
One property owner | understand
had the steos taken off because the
boats were LAYING there, but Mr.. Edit
or, they are all willing to do business
with US but they never ask US when
we 90 to give orders or pay bill,
how did you oct up on the wharf.
GUESS they think We pack airsh;ps
along nowadays. Now Mr.. Editor, we
don't want golden stairs or any fancy
landing places. do think there
should be some means Of getting off
these boats. there is soma men in the
boat business that helped to build
this town and all of us are helping to
keep it up so | think We ought to get
1hpt much accommodation.
Honino this will be- taken seriously
md thank you for your valuable
snace,
yours,
A Boat Man.

sure of escaping the germs

Milk Often Is Cause
Cows do not have typhoid
fever, yet milk often carries
the germ. 1t is warm and a
good generator. 1t gets the
germ from unclean water used
in washing cans, from handling
by persons with soiled hands.
Flies are menace. particular

causes show that flies brought
the germs to the food in the
first place. Keep your home
thoroughly cleaned throughout
the summer; keep your food
cool and covered.

and has not the home sur

The Second Coming of Mr.. Cummings

Chairman Homer S. Cummings of the democratic
national committee is a guest Of Tucson. When ii
was learned that Mr.. Cummings in Arizona, those
people who are just naturally suspicious, jumped at
the conclusion that he nosng around politically
again. We did not believe it. Mr. Cummings though
not the most astute Of political managers would
hardly make two political trips to remote a state
as Arizona within six months.
There good many things we claim for Ari-
IONA 1t is the best state in the union; it has the
greatest undeveloped wealth 1t has larger pro-
portion of pretty girls. good women and virtuous
and brave men. 1t has the largest unbroken forest
in the United States and has deeper cash cut into
it than may be found anywhere else in the world.
We might go on indefinitely with a recitation
OF the things that Arizona has that other states have
not. But the optimistic the most enthusiastic
of us have never claimed for Arizona that in
tional political campaign it may be regarded as
pivotal state. There are two things that stand in
the way Of its being pivotal; it's scarcity of popula
ton consequently its representation in the electoral
college; the other is democratic majority which
leaves it too lopsided for a pivotal state.
Mr. Cummings is not here on political business
but he is enjoying rest and visiting a relative who
is regainng health amid the salubrity for which
Tucson is noted. Mr.. Cummings has laid aside for
the visit all his rainbow chasing paraphernalia He
INDUCES in political talk only the any other
sensible American citizen may do. While this
vacation he feels that it is not up to him to repeat
nreposterous party claims do the other foolish
and unpleasant things that expected of a demo-
cratic national chairman arrayed in the full panoply
of politics.
Mr.. Cummings is giving himself up solely to

at the cottage where he is stopping. he said isn't
this a delightful place? 1t seems like some fairy

But he is not; he is seeing the real thing at
Tucson and he is the real thing there It when
