The Electric Ship
(By J. E. Jones)

Washin ngton, June 24-Is the elec-
trically driven ship to mark a new
epoch in the navigation Of the high
seaso America S founders came here
with sailing vessels which were driven
before the wind, then came the DAYS
when sailors were required to have
among their accomplishments a knack
for cutting wood in order to produce
steam for the boilers of their ships.
Coal came next and its use was look,
ed upon as settling forever the prob
lens Of fuel for ships. But no one
cont emplated quarter of century
ago that ships bigger than the Grea t
Eastern in length would ever become
common on the high seas. Fifteen
years ago oil burning ships were con
sidered 4 rash experiment, but today
/ they are rapidly displacing the Goa
burning vessels. Now comes the q
S. S. Maryland Uncle Sam latest
and most powerful electric driven wal
ship, which is 624 feet long, with !;
beam of 81 feet, and weighing $4,000
tons. The United States Navy i.
said to be absolutely convinced tina
the electrically driven ship is super
ior to all other types. Who will sa,
that electrical power will not soon re
place all forms Of fuel, including OF
and coal? The Government hav1ns
taken the lead in adopting electrical,
driven ships, private owners are &C
cepting the new type, and many yes
sells are being equipped with it.

The Mania
to Regulate
(By j. E. jones'

Washington, June 24.-The thin
lie which exists between .'less gov
ernment in business and more busi-
ness in government is rather hard
to distinguish. In the Roosevelt aavs
the Government invoked the Sher-
man act and the interstate commerce
clause in the Constitution to curb
saonopelies which threatened the
vital business Of the nation. In those
earlier days it seemed necessary that
the Government should be sustained
in the authority it assumed to protect
the people from the unbridled srup-
iditv Of profiteers. The success Of
that movement on the part of the
Government kindled public enthusiasm
to such a point that there was unlim-
tied advocacy favoring the DONNA
tion Of civil and industrial affairs b.
the Government to point that threat
ened to drive the country into adopt
| ing MARKHAM socialism, Uncle Sam
got a pipe full Of this kind of stuff
during the war when the Govern
ment undertook to regulate the rail
roads and public utilities, and N
some eases even the thinking process
ses of individuals.
In spite of these conflicts IN oul
industrial history, it is realized thai
the Government cannot entirely Kee1
it's hands off business, for if it dit
there are those in business who woul:
plu.lder the public ruthessly. Their,
fore, sensible legislators are con
fronted with the constant problem O.
enacting regulatory legislation in tn
interests of the people, and which i
not directed against honest business
but which operates to the point Q
preventing tn public from being ex
plotted. Thus we find that a moder
ate policy that does not harass bust
5 ness, but which gives to the Govern
men sufficient authority to protey
: it against being exploited, is a mid
die ground that brings the creates
r satisfaction to all. Such polio
conforms to the meaning intended t
be applied to the words of Presiden
Harding when he declared that h
+, favored "less government in bus1nes
and more business in government.
There is not a day in Congress, N
matter whether the legislation per
5 tains to packers, farmers, railroa
$ work ers, or employers, but what thes
