No, men. Wage sione
Advantage of British steamer

pSi pioHtH r'''.'a. .$2, ,296
 MT. DeRonde adds: American ma rlne insurance must be fostered at the expense of the shipowner; standard of living ~for American seamen must be maintained at the expense of the shin owner; full crew laws must be observed at the expense of the shipowner. But Will our shippers pay us one penny more for the privilege of shipping in an American vessel? Can the American shlpowner continue indefinitely paving monthly premium of $2,296 for the privilege of operating his steamers under American registry?
 Too much is heard of propaganda. mythical interests. etc, as the cause or some of our troubles. Rubbish, Eye wash for sea lawyers! The alibi Of weak hearted fighter, There is no propaganda. There are no interests There is nothing to face in this in stance but an undeniable and gradually strangling deficit.
 Does the American seaman admit that it takes 40 of his brothers to per form the same work accomplished bv 30 Englishmen? Must the 40, in order to live, receive a monthly wage of Sf,690 against the $2,544 earned by inc .35 Englishmen? If so and in the ab sence of direct government subsidy or favorable application of the Jones act, Brittania will surely continue to rule the waves, and American shipown CTS may as well reconcile themselyes once more to the gradual elimination Of the American Merchant Marine and an ignominious end to our glorious dream of ocean conquest"

MISSISS|PPIAN IS READY TOFIGHT
 FIRE WITH FIRE
Representative Johnson Has Little Hope of Success, But Exertions May Prove Folly
 of Course to Republicans
Fly HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-HeraId
 800 Davidson Building


 Washington. April 24.-(S (Special)- Representative Johnson of Mississippi has concluded to fight fire with fire He has little hope of success but there is fair promise that his exertions will prove to republicans the folly of thei course.
 In other words, the Mississippi solon, amazed at the aptitude of republicans to note alleged mistreatment of negroes in the south, and overlook at the same time sad and sour" conditions in Washington, has soughl to bring the latter to the attention of Congress
 He has introduced two bills. The first would require local street car companies to install Jim crow" parti- tions so that the whites and, blacks could ride in separate compartments The other would prevent marriage in the District of Columbia, the great cap- ital of the United States, wherein ex- ample for all the remainder of the coun- try he thinks, should be set, between white people and negroes, and between white people and Chinese. and black people and Chinese.
 The republicans are pretty sore. and swear by all their gods that the bills shall not become law And they will make good their paths. At the same time, they may learn the error involved in their efforts to upset conditions as they have for many long years existed in the south.
 They are fostering bills to study lynching in the south. and to force southern people to ride in the same railroad cars with colored people
