Our Joe Miller Contest

Doe Lewstader claims that the
oldest joke is the one about a lawyer
who feared that his client would
get a death sentence and who appeal
ed to the foreman of the jury, a big
lrishman, and begged that the jury
return a verdict for life imprison-
ment. The jury was out 60 hours
and when the verdict came in it was
a verdict providing for life imprisou-
ment. The lawyer was overjoyed and
when the jury was discharged he
hunted up the Irishman and handed
him a onehundred-dollar bill and
thanked him. you earned your
money" said the lawyer, land |
thank you" "Oi sure did earn it,
agreed the Irishman "The other
eleven men We're for acquittins your
man and Oi had to keep them in that
room for 60 hours to make them
agree to give him life"

Idle Ships.

New York Evening Post.)
The problem of finding profitable employment for
the millions of tons of merchant shipping which nave
come to this country a byproduct of the war is no
nearer solution today than it was when the arms-
tice signed twenty-three months ago. The ship
ping industry throughout the world is just pro-
foundly depressed. There is over-supply of ton
mage And the American people is the owner of a
great fleet of merchant vessels involving an invest
ment of approximately three and half billions Of
dollars.
This investment made for the most part Oh
the basis of prices and the mpossbility of secu
ing appreciabc return upon the original cost Is
generally conceded. 1t is realized that a portion OF
this cost be written off and charged to war ex-
penses In the matter of writing off costs, however,
the Shipping Board far has been extremely con-
servatve Partly this is due to pressure from Con
gress. The sale of the ships has proceeded at a
snails pace. The prices at which the vessels nave
been held the event now proves, have been higher
than the condition of the market justified AS e
result a number of the ships purchased by small
companies the insalment plan are now barely
worth the of the unpaid instruments and many
of these may be turned back to the Shipping Board.
Meanwhile large amount of tonnage is still under
construction. During the month OF september l55
additional vessels took the water, and the problem OF
what to do with the ships becomes constantly more
troublesome.
The plan to dispose of a good portion of the ex-
German liners frustrated last winter by hos
tile Congress and by the cry of British domination
raised by certain newspapers. 1t is now generally
recognized that the prices offered were better thah
anything that may now be expected
second chance to find additional employment
for vessels under the American flag has developed
in the last few months through the desire OF the
two principal German lines to secure American ships
en- their old trade routes Again camor has been
raised this time against German domination" II
goes without saying that American ship owners ana
exporters should be protected against exploitation
through ineouitabe agreements with foreign shipping
concerns But at the time it is well to recall
rast experiences avoid the error of sacrihc
ing a promising opportunity for developing a mer-
chant marine of our idle SHIPS merely IN deler-
ence to anti-foreign prejudice

WHY?

Wickites are Dragging that Sutherland is not
engaging in personal politics during the present cam
paign. And this leads the query, why not? Is it
because Sutherland's dastardly charge that Judge
Bunnell was sending to the penitent1ary Tor
political proved such disasterous boomerang!
Is because the than failure of his attempt
to manufacture scandal in connection with the
estates Of Princess Sophia victims and to involve
prominent citizens and officials in it? Is it because
OF the complete collapse of his much touted poltlcaI
history Of Alaska wherein he had promised to SHOW,
but mserably tailed make good, that many Alaska
officials corrupt? Is it because, after all Is
said and DONE that he finally realizes there is no
o2portunty for him to indulge in personalities and
get away with it?
