Several months ago there was

records OF contendlng parties may

LOVE AND DEUCE IN TENNIS.

The West is the birthplace Of IN

makes 1t clear that there is some

romantic element out OF a game

which go with It.

The administration campaign
! for the merchant marine bill is
backed by the logic of conditions
that now confront the nation and
is being supported by increasing ele-
ments that refuse to be side-tracked
by unfair efforts to inject partisan
ship into this move. While unin-
formed opponents of the measure
are disposed to condemn It because
OF the word "subsidy'-which 10
them suggests special favor for spe-
cial interests, whereas it is to gem
eral national interests that its bene-
fits would accrue-the nation is
manifestly waking up to the real
meaning of the measure and to its
non-partisan character. In Demo-
cratic ranks, increasing support is
developing. In the Virginia Sena-
torial primary, Senator Swanson's
advocacy OF the shipping bill was
counted by the party voters as a
valid bid for support. From other
Democratic strongholds come re-
ports that show corresponding senti-
ment in favor OF the shipping bill.
Certain agricultural elements.
which have hitherto shown antag-
onism to the shipping bill, are now
swinging toward its support. This
follows the plain urge OF their in
terests. American agriculture is
largely dependent on foreign trade,
and the maintenance of Americas
foreign trade is largely dependent on
the merchant marine. The admin
istration has proved its effective
championship of agricultural inter-
ests, in their national aspect. by its
action in extension of credits and by
its cooperation with Congress in
putting through legislation that
promises betterment of conditions.
1t is hewing TO the same line in
pressing for shipping legislation. The
realization Of the dependency Of
their interests on foreign trade
which has led them 10 adopt wider
views has brought the merchant
marine into the farmers line of VI
sion as means TO a desired end. In
increasing numbers they are regis |

is that England has been doing good
