SUBSIDIES OR BOOZE?

The present Congress will unquestionabiy pass q
measure providing subsidies to American ships
The excuse IS that our own ships cannot compete
with those owned by other nations and that It Is
quite essential to large feet Of merchant ships
ready for whatever future wars this country may
fight.
It is true that the American people own a vast
number OF ships bullded in war times by American
dollars raid for by the American people
Il is not proposed that the American people who
had brains enough build these ships. will operate
them That IN the present view OF the administra-
ton IS TOO intricate thing the people TO do for
themselves.
Instead these ships will be turned over to private
companies and favored individuals who viii per-
form the gigantic task OF hiring crews-and then
90 down to washington at the end Of each trip and
get enough OF the peoples money TO make their
enterprises profitable.
The Shipping Board now operates the ships. 1t
finds that IN order make money It must engage In
an Illegal occupation. That board has made boot
logger Of the government
unite interesting IS the explanation broadcast
by the chairman OF that board A. d. Lasker- II Is
significant that the people pay for his explanation
written by government employees and sent out on
government postal frank.
He SAYS that It necessary to sell liquor on
American SHIPS these ships would have no passen-
gers It Is his business to make money.
He gets the money where he and hnds it
easier to get it by selling whskey to thirsty tourists
than by doing what other American business men
do when they get into a tight place. find some new
source OF revenue.
His entire explanation is devoted to proving that
legally Ship owned by the United States govern
ment is not part of the United states and there
fore does not come under the provisions Of the law
The opinion OF the attorney general to the con-
trary does not Tease this who put you into the
whisky business. has his lawyer who tells
him what he wants hear.
What his explanation omits is the big fact that
the government, engaged on the one hand in sending
petty vioIators to federal prisons, engages in the
same business for which they sentenced.
He overooks the fact that he makes every Ameri-
can citizen a participant in the profits Of booteggng
and announces that while it a crime for indvid-
uals TO sell shore, it is perfectly proper
for the government TO sell booze on sea.
It is a fine prospect. You must pay Fronts in the
form Of subsidies individuals who will finally get
these ships or you must consent to Bookkeeping by
government agents.
The greatest wet propagandist today is not the
men who are trying their futile TO attack IT
but the powerful government official who defends
it on the cry that the government needs the money
so badly that it must engage in the crime.

USELESS EFFORT.

Irr at Toronto the people are laughing at one OF
that cty's most promine 1T doctors over what they
consider one of the greatest jokes of a decade.
This physician happens TO be lover OF water
sports and during the past winter set about to
build himself a boat that would be faster than any
owned by his companions
So interested was he in this relaxation from his
regular lahors that he nsstedon building it himself
He was troubled he worked by fear that there
was something wrong with it. He went over the

Finally the boat was perfect and complete, glist-
ening in its varnsh resplendent in its little

Then the doctor discovered the cause for that
haunting suggestion that something was wrong
The boat was perfect but the doctor had provided
no way FOR removing It from the cellar of his house
where he had spent the long winter in its building.

alternative OF either destroying The boat or destroy

YOUR HEALTH By cd DR.: R, S

One of the most difficult things in
the world is to get a nervous indi-
vidual TO keep quiet for an hour or
two. To ask a person OF this sort
to sit in a comfortable chair and 70
stay there for any length of time is
almost equal to imposing penance.
Repose seems impossible.
The same person will go to a con.
cert and sit still for hours without
moving an eyelid. Is it the effect Of
the music, conformity to a custom
or the actual enjoyment of the oc-
casion?
There can be no doubt OF the subtle
effect of music. To some it is sooth-
ing-almost sleep producing. To
still others music really means little
more than do the sounds Of the city
sire ets.
1t is interesting to study an audi
ence at a concert. The other night l
