The sage of the Fort Lauderdale
Herald ampli6es somewhat on the
Scriptural summary of life that "All
is vanity" and points out that both in
life and death it is the everlasting
struggle to keep up appearances that
causes most of the misery in the world.
AS he truthfully observes: Style and
fashion ruin the world. People by
trying to keep up with people who lead
in style soon become too poor to have
the necessaries of life. A death in a
poor family under modern conditions
almost reduces some people to starva-

OF five men appointed by the President.
The actual building is In the hands OF
the Emergency Fleet Corporation, the
stock of which is held by the Shipping
Board. As the Shipping Board is
financed by Congress, every taxpayer
in the country is shareholder in the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, and has
a measure of responsibility for the &C
tivities Of the United States Shipping
Board itself
These are the reasons that make the
present situation Of the Board, and OF
the merchant marine, one of vital in
terest to the country at large. The
war emergency which led the nation
into the shipbuilding business has
passed. We have the ships on hand.
They were built at the peak of wan
costs of labor and material. What
shall we do with them? Congress
is dealing with that question al
present, and the House already has
taken steps to offer the ships for sale
to American shipping men, thus reliev-
ing the public treasury of the risk in
volved in their management by the
government in the years of keen COM
petition that are to come.
The Flag on the Seas.
This action by the House followed
months of study of the subject by rep.
resentatives who arrived at the belief
that so complex thing as merchant
ship could be more economically man
aged by experienced men who had
passed their whole lives in the ship
ping business than by any temporary
board or commission of the govern
ment. Many of the inland members
reasoned that if it takes farmer,
brought up from boyhood on a farm,
successfully to operate a farm, surely
it takes a sailor to operate ship.
The Senate Committee on Commerce
is holding a series of hearings on the
subject, that means much in the main
tenance of our flag on the seas. It
appears to be the almost unanimous
opinion Of public men at Washington
that the ships should not be owned
and operated by the government, now
that the war emergency has passed.
The Main Question.
British owners, as whole. have a
lower investment per ton in ships than
We have, rs they nave q greater per-
centagc CT ships which were built be-
fore the era of high war costs. The
question of how we can compete with
those Slips on the open trade routes
Of the world is a most vital one, to
which every taxpayer should give his
earnest attention.
Congress has taken up this great
question of our ventures in searoina

WHAT SHALL BE DONE
WITH FLEET A PROBLEM
BY WINTHROP [. MARVIN,

Author of "The american Merchant
Marine; Its History and Romance"
Washington, D. C.-The farmers OF
this country at present are shipowners
on a large scale. They own shares in
a corporation that controls 2,300 great
merchant steamers built since the war
began.
Most of these farmer-owners have
never seen the ships in which they own
a share, and good many of them have
never seen the ocean. They are tied
to an enterprise that somebody else
runs for them. But they are footing
the bills, along with the manufacturers,
the workmen, the merchants and the
miners of the country, and these bills
are likely to prove staggering unless
some way is found promptly to make
the most effective use or disposal OF
these 1890 vessels.
This is the substance of situation
that has arisen as result of the gov
ernment's emergency shipbuilding ac-
tivities in the war. The suffering world
cried for ships, and the American PEG,
pie heard their cry, and built the ships.
Money was poured into the shipbuild
ing program. Yards were created
where none existed before. Armies OF
workmen were trained in the trade OF
shipbuilders. An enormous output was
attained. Suddenly the war came to
an end The shipbuilding program was
then under such Roadway that it could
not be suddenly stopped. It is still
going, In fact In cases where con-
struction on ship had not advanced
too far, and the materials could be
sold, contracts were cancelled, but on
ships in a more advanced stage, com.
pletion was necessary to prevent great
loss.

The vast shipbuilding program has
been and is still under control Of the
United States Shipping Board. bodF

under these new conditions. IN nom

going on before the Senate Commit ee
on Commerce are being conducted with
view to finding out the sentiment of
the country on those questions.
The main question is, How may
these ships built by the government
and owned by the people be turned
over TO experienced shipping men for
management which will insure our
holding our own on the seas? 1t is a
similar question to that involved in the
turing back Of the railroads to pri-
vate management after temporary con-
troll of them for war purposes by the
government

News That Avilez Is to

Another zero hour is approaching
of Sonora who backed their country
man, Battling Herrera, to the bitter
end when he lost to Rufus Williams,
are going to have sweet revenge.
Manuel Avilez will arrive here about
May 20 to begin his training for ten
round bout with Marse Rufus. Rufus
is debating terms to us this time and
says if Avilez does not weigh in at
158 pounds, ringside, there will be no
fight. Avilez is about six pounds over
weight and is willing to take it off,
but wires us to know why Rufus is SO
cess avoirdupois, if he is as good as
he says he is.
Avilez has been fighting for a long
time and is an old ring general. He
has defeated Frank Fawser, Kid Ross,
Kid George, One-Round Andrews, Joe
Pena, Ira O'Neill and Sailor Petrosky,
all by the knockout route; has fought
two draws with Walter Caldwell and
lost a ten-round decision to Leo An
derson, who out-weighed him eighteen
pounds.
In his last fight in Arizona he met
Ira O'Neill and the outcome almost
resulted IN a coroners inquest At
exactly twelve minutes after ten
o'clock Avllez hit Mista Ira on the
jaw, and at half-past four next morn
ing, in the Sisters hospital, Ira woke
up and inquired if the lightning had
struck anything else.
The bout is scheduled for May 29,
and under the articles of agreement
both fighters must be in training here
for eight days before the fight. Nego-
tiations are under way to get Casey
Smith of Globe and Smiling Parker
of Miami to go on for six rounds for
the semi-windup and, if they go
through, we will have a double head

for their constituents than the gov
ernment had ever considered allotting
to the white settlers of the valley.
The building of the Florence diver
sion dam by the government is the
first step in the long-expected devel-
opment of this great valley. 1t is
the most important step for the pres
entent, but it presages an event of
far more Importance for the future,
and that is the eventual building of
the San Carlos storage dam. With
the diversion dam now certainty, the
San Carlos dam begins to emerge
from the realm of conjecture and en-
ters the field of assured eventualities.
Nothing can now prevent the ultimate
construction of the San Carlos dam,
unless some great cataclysm of nature
should destroy the damsite 1t is now
certain to be tuilt some time. When?
is the great question.
1t lis confidently believed that it's
early construction will be assured if
the people Of the valley continue to
keep it to- the forefront as it has been
kept in the last eight months. Ever
since the great meeting Of last August
at the Florence union high school
grounds, the San Carlos project has
been the most talked-of project not
only in the state, but in the entire
southwest. The good work must be
kept going, efforts must now be re-
doubled. There was some excuse for
conservative settlers before to advise
the centering of efforts On the diver
sion project rather than on the San
Carlos-now there is none. All eff
forts must now be bent on the one
great object until it's construction, too,
is a certainty, and the wires flash
from Washington the welcome news
that the great storage dam in the ella
at San Carlor has been authorized by
the government. 1t can be done. 1t
will be done. 1t must be done.
