Repairina U.Boat pamaoes,

If British shipbuilding has not YET
reached pre-war figures the world has
done wonderful things in ship produc'
ton in the last twelve months. The
total tonnage launched was 7,144,549
according to Lloyd's Register, and the
British share was 100000 tons. The
feature Of the returns is tho expan'
sion Of shipbuilding in the United
States and in Japan. The former ap
pears at the head Of the table with
81 per cent. Of the worlds output, and
more than twice the tonnage built in
the United Kingdom. Japan, with
GIL 800 tons launched, has built more
shipping in one year than it did in
the % years to 1913.

The one great outstanding feature
of the Minnesota election and which
is the most disappointing to the league
leaders is the fact that the labor vote
did not go to the socialist gang. 1t
IS true that in some spots the labor
element did support the league ticket
very strongly, but taking the state
at large the labor vote was on the side
of good government. The men who
are classed as the labor element of
this country are in the main as loyal
as any other class. They believe in
unionizing for the betterment of their
own condition but they will not be led
into the socialist camp, nor do they
want to be classed as socialists, so
that we feel the men are real good
citizens with minds of their own. The
very ignorant class that come here
from foreign shores and most of them
are not citizens of the country, form
a great part Of the radical element
that are always against the govern
ment and are ready at any and all
times to join some outfit like the
Townley bunch because men of the
Townley type with his rough and
ready tongue can fool them into be-
lieving most anything-and many
good men have been mislead by this
willy bad king of all hot air artists,
but the great majority Of the work.
ing people of this country are right,
because they have been raised under
the American flag and know what it
means to live under better conditions
L. l,.k E.
everybody in the best country in the
world. Give the laborer pay common
surate with his ability and treat him
right and he will be all right. No
Stree, you cannot class the laborers
of this country as socialists and ad-
mirers of Kate O'Hare, Eugene Debs
and other celebrated anarchists of
this country.

Far-Seeina Woman Reformer.

In noting the fact that Susan B
Anthony was born hundred years
ago, it is interesting also to remem
Der that every considerable reform OF
which she was an advocate has come
to pass, says the New York Sun. She
fought for the abolition of slavery
for total abstinence and for equa
suffrage. Slavery disappeared wher
she was still in her most active years
When she died, in 1906, many Of the
states had agreed with her views or
prohibition and votes for women

LOCATED THE MISSING SHOES
Passenger Who Had on Wrong Pair
Admitted Thinking That They
Felt "Pretty Tieht."

Mr.. D. of North Pennsylvania street
tells of near tragedy, or some
thing akin to it, which occurred a
few days ago on morning train
coming in from Chicago, relates the
Indianapolis News.
He had occupied an upper berth,
and when he arose found that his
shoes had disappeared. A pair not
his own were where his should have
been, but they evidently belonged to
the occupant of the lower berth.
The porter was called, but his most
diligent search failed to locate the
missing shoes. The train was rapid
ly speeding toward indianapolis, and
with visions Of arriving stocking
footed, Mr.. D. was in a most unenvi-
able state of mind.
About that time a portly little man
sauntered down the aisle, stopped
and began to assemble his possessions
preparatory to detraining. "What's
the excftement?" he inquired, becom-
ing interested In the search.
"Why, this mans lost his Shoes"
said the anxious porter. you don't
suppose you-all might "a mistook
them for yours, do you?'
Then the portly party took look
at his feet and discovered that he
had.
"Well," said he, considerably cha
grined, II thought that the pesky
things felt pretty tight"
And then there occurred hasty ex-
change of shoes just as the train
pulled into the station.
