That kind of thing is taking place all the time" said
he. 1--WE didn't want to cut wages, but we were driven
to i. eff this latest game of British business men IS
persisted in, retaliation IN some form is quite within
the range of possibilities"
Later on the news accounts carried the information
that the bids of the American Shipping board for the
freightagc of Egyptian cotton from Alexandria, sub
mitted on request of the Alexandria Produce associ-
alton. had been turned down Notwithstanding the fact
that those bids were So per cent lower than the bids
of British shipping concerns. This produce association
is composed of about a hundred members, 16 Of whom
are charged with handling the cotton business OF that
country. Fifteen of the 16 voted to accept the ship
ping board bid, and one held out against it The
shipping board bid per ton for carriage of Egyptian
cotton to American ports was % shilings, the BRIT
ih bid was 60 shillings. But under the rules OF the
board the award had to be unanimous. Due to the
action OF the Liverpool conference lines in bringing
influence to bear on the produce board, American
ships were denied any opportunity to carry Egyptian
cotton.
This action rather had the appearance that the Brit
ish commercial outfit desired a stand up and knock
down" settlement of the question, whether or not We
shall maintain a merchant marine and be entitled 70
fair treatment in matters Of freight If that IS the
program we might as well sail in and give the British
a stomach full.
If the shipping board means business, as indicated,
Il has ample authority under the Jones merchant ma
rine law to give Great Britain a mighty run for her
money in the carrying trade. One thing, those British
shipowners, who are determined to put the American
merchant marine out of the running, are gong to DIS
cover; and that is that they are no longer dealing with
a Wilson administration. Mr.. Wilson, it will be re-
called, categorically refused to enforce section 81 of
the Jones act, which authorizes the president to give
due notice of our intention to terminate treaty clauses
with foreign countries which restrict the right OF the
United States to impose discriminating customs on
imports entering this country in American vessels. He
also refused to put other clauses of the law into OPP
Grafton which favored American ships. He was up
held in his refusal by a wealth of British propaganda
set loose in this country, We can no longer sit idly
by and permit British shipping concerns TO plot against
us and get away with 1t.

A wAsTEFUL PUBLISHER.

Economy in government printing has been dis
cussed for years." says the New York Evening Pest,
land there is fully two and a half times as much rea-
son as formerly for Mr.. Dawes creation of n board of
review, representing all departments, to effect il.
to Massachusetts, the state sold an edition at cost
for 81; now it has found that its new edition will cost
$3.50. Uncle Sam is the worlds largest publisher a
half doze1 times over, the value of his books, period.
icals, and pamphlets in the last year of the war being
nearly s13, 900, 0O0. He is easily the worlds most
wasteful publisher. Now and then. congressman are
stricken by a sudden desire TO save a few hundred
thousands on the nations printing bills, and their
characteristic course is to propose severe cuts in the
amount of publication. There was much that was
sound in Senator Shoots amendment to the sundry
civil act in the last congress, but when congressional
zeal imperils, as it has, publications like the Monthly
Labor Review and the Shipping Bulletin, both indis-
pcnsable to wide interests, it is acting f~oolishly.
"Mr. Dawes board of review. should be able to effect
economies in ways that are really healthful. A chronic
habit of the departments is to order publications
printed in quantities greater than needed, anticipating
a future demand that never comes. and, to have the
surplus stored at great expense. In the end govern
ment documents that cost an average of so cents
each have to be sold as waste paper. The depart
ments and congress are alike responsible for mail
ing much matter to recipients who do not want it.
Even "depositary libraries required by law to take
everything, stand ashast at the flood. Hence arise
huge stacks of returns" Above all, there ought to
be more sale and less free distribution. Government
prices can be kept low, and despite congressman jeal-
Gus of ranking privileges the people can pay them"

LIES TRAGEDIES.

Life is a strange mixture of tragedy and comedy,
and it is often difficult to say where the one ends and
the other begins. 1t depends, too, upon whether you
are a principal in the action or a spectator in the au-
dience. Punch describes one of the greatest
tragedies of life, from the spectators standpoint,
der that in a world of sunshine and flowers and sing
ing birds such calamities must befall the mortals
Of earth Listen to it:
"He stood in the packed building, a small lonely
figure, pathetic in the isolation that shut him off
from the warm humanity of the watching crowd.
HE felt weak, ill, but he struggled to bear himself
bravely. He could not move his eyes from the stern
white face that seemed to fill all the space in front
of him. About that cold, miniatory figure, which
was speaking to him in such passionless, even tons,
chung an atmosphere of awe the traditional robes of
office lent it a majesty that crushed his will.
HE knew he was being addressed, and strove to
listen. His brain was a torrent of thoughts. And SO
his life had como to this. 1t was indeed the final catas-
trophe. That was surely what the voice meant-that
voice which went on and OF in an even stream of
sound without meaning. Why had he come to this
IN the flower of his life to lose its chiefest gift, liberty.
Up and down the spaces of his brain thought sped
Like fire. The people behipd-did they care? A few,
perhaps, pitied him. The others were Indifferent To
them it was merely a spectacle.
Suddenly into his mind crept the consciousness of
of a vast silence. The voice had stopped. The abrupt
cessation of sound whipped his quivering nerves. II
was like the holding of a great breath.
HE gathered his forces. He knew that the huge
concourse waited. A question had been put to him.
1t seemed as If the world stood still to listen. He
moistened his lips. He knew what he had meant TO
say, but his tongue was 4 traitor to his desire. VIVA.
use now to plead? The soundlessness grew intoIer-
able he thought he should cry aloud.
"And then

swift, shy glance of his bride"

BIG GAME HUNT.

Next to a presidential election, the quadrennial tiger
hunt in New York is the most interesting and New
York is thus engaged at the present moment, hoping
to drive the old beast into the trap set for it when
the circle closes in November.
The candidates will be the present Tammany mayor,
Hylan, to succeed himself, and the fusion selection,
Charles Lockwood the investigator whose Legislative
committee uncovered the housing trust and convicted
more than a hundred of the arch-conspirators who
were sending the prices of building construction sky
ward.
The issues will be pretty much the same as in years
gone by. The corruption of the Tammany government,
increase in taxes and general ineffciency of the
Hylan regime.
Preparations for a great drive are going forward
and the hopes of the people are for the successful
slaughter of the willy old tiger.
