AMERICAS NEXT GRAND ERA

IL history has any uses at all. its chief function Is
t. tsacn us the lessons of human experience. The his
tory o. prosperity is the story of commerce, and the story
OF commerce is the romance of the seas
r. Every empire the world has known has had che
Tcot lrmly planted in the ocean; every empire has
REACHED its apex only when it sent its merchants aud
is merchandise into the markets of the globe. and thus
ny its industry created fortune. The history OF the sea
is tae history Of the empire
When all is said and done, this country OF ours
is only a stripping in years. But in potential strength
a giant aud in ambitions a genius, for true genius Is
the flower which springs from the seed OF ambition.
IN its scant years ii has swept nightly forward. resting
neither by day nor by night. striving with rich enthus-
.iaSr1 TO keep level with the magic advance of its for
t1ueS. So many hundreds of thousands of broad acres
gere to be explored, so many silver rivers to be traced,
SC many millions Of trees to be measured, and always the
catalogue Of our resources grew longer to challenge our
perseverance and stimulate our effort.
But at last the nation stands on its widely-separat-
cd shores, ready to seek the world. An empire on land,
& must become an empire on sea- We must become
a nation of ~seafarers. 1t is as logical to scorn the trait
&c of the seas as 1t would be to turn over the entire in
land transportation systems Of the country to foreign ag-
rrts and investors. Where flies the flag over a good
la.ip there gees American industry at its hundred per
cent. value; 1t carries with 1t the guarantee OF national
integrity; it enriches its people by a legitimate activity,
and it establishes sturdy bridges between he man who
makes and he man who uses.
As surely as the star of democracy flies over the
land so surely is Americas next grand era to be found on
the seas.

WHEN STRIKING Is MUTINY

There may be an open question as to the absolute
moral right of workmen under contract to strike in
many cases Quebec has been experiencing a situation,
however, in which striking and mutiny are perfectly
synonymous. The fremen and policemen OF that city
have struck. 1t is not shown that there were unusual
causes, any emergent stress to occasion the radical &C
ton on the part of these hreuen and policemen, In
deed, 1t is uncertain that there could be any provocation
sufficiently aggravating to justify these classes OF mu-
nicipal employees and public servants in striking-when
q strike or their part affects SO seriously a whole city.
No matter what may be the ethics OF striking and
the right" sto strike with privateiy-employed workers.
nremen and policemen are not to be grouped in that
class. When fremen and policemen strike their action
is nutiny. II is exactly a case parallel with the con-
certed action of IA company of soldiers who refuse TO d.
their duty. Even II soldiers are not adequately paid
anG If their pay is not given them when due, it is uni
versally recognized that "mutiny' among soldiers or
navy men is q crime OF the worst sort-for the good
reason that on their steadfast loyalty. subordination and
reliability derends the safety OF a much larger number.
The same argument holds With reference to police
men and fremen. They are servants of the public.
They are Ulcers in service for the community. trusted
with 4 responsibility. Policemen are charged with the
protection OF citizens-their lives and property. When
policemen strike they break faith not merely with the
city government w~hich-as agent for the peoplc-enl-
ployes them and pays them. but they prove traitor TO
al the men and women and little children they have
been sworn in to serve in protection.
When Gremen strike do not merely refuse IL wora
for the bigger officials who chose them and who pro.
vide the money fer their pay-rolls. Firemsn who strike
are striking at the people OF their own city. Falling
down in their duty OF pI otecting the property or the city
from fire, tney are rutinous.
