PROTECTION BY PAYMENTS.

"
From the New York Tribune
The free trader has a logical stand
against the upbuilding OF mer-
chant marine by government paw
ments to shipping lines. He has ar
gued for three-quarters Of a century
for the laissez faire theory that a
nation should develop along the
lines Of least resistence-becomin
exclusively a farming nation, for ex-
ample IL its economic forces i'm
PEELED It in that direction. The Uni
ted States early rejected that view
and has long adhered to the protec-
tive tariff theory, which conceives of
a great nation as n rounded and
varied entity, in essentials self-sup-
porting, and developing itself by
government aid and protection in
every practicable activity. It is.
thanks TO the protective policy that
America is today what It is. both a
great manufacturing and a great
farming nation, able to hold its own
against any power the world has
seen.
How, then, can any believer in
protection oppose the shipping bill
now pending in Congress-? 1t merely
applies the protective principle to
our deep-sea ships. The nation has
long applied that principle to our
domestic shipping. No foreign ship
can trade, from port to port along
our coast. That is a simple device by
which foreign vessels can be pre-
vented from competing with our
coastwise shipping. But the prob
lem of protecting our ships that
trade with foreign ports is not so
simple. Treaties pre9ent. our restrict

PLEADS TREE PROTECTION
Hiker Finds Vandalism in Cabin
John Woodlands.
To the Editor of The Star:

~ 6ultoE OIL ne SlAf.
1t is my custom to take long hike
l walked up the canal to Cabin John
bridge and back. 1t was beautiful
day and the wildfowers were being
gathered by hundreds of people. Many
90 not realize the scenery this walk af-
fords. especially at this season of the
year, when the trees are turning to
green and the woods are full of the
wild flowers that fear We will not have
long unless something is done to pro-
tect them.
l enjoyed the walk, but the sight was
enough to break a Iature-loters heart.
Everywhere along the way the redwood
trees were broken to pieces. Boys and
men and girls were pulling the limbs
down and breaking them Off to get the
blossoms that would only last little
while. And then / found all along the
path pieces broken off and left after
they became tired Of carrying them.
/ met dozens Of people with great
punches of this redwood. and by next
Sunday presume the dogwood blossoms
will fall to the same fate. and in few
years we will not have this rare treat
to view these lively wild trees in the
spring. Something should be done to
protect them. l do not know of a more
worthy cause than to help to preserve
the wildhowers. 1t seems to me just
as heartless to break down these beauti-
full trees as it would be to destroy the
songbirds that we love to hear. There
are many wildfiowers that can be gath
cred. such as violets and pansies, with
out injuring the plant itself. and it seems
ally destroy these valuable trees. The
sight saw last Sunday wiuld have
made John Burroughs weep.

are trained to be able to dictate their
stories readily in good English and

"The business Office. news room and

Importance may be decided in a few
seconds-pver the telephone. There
is no time for holding debates and
lengthy deliberations.
THE business office-especially the

telephone. 1t used to be that more
than half of the papers classified adj
vertisements were received by this
means, but since the paper has in
stituted a policy demanding cash pay

practice. naturally, has dropped Off.
Soliciting and arranging display
copy with regular advertisers, how
ever, is still done. Other Washington
newspapers, which do not insist on
cash payments. receive great num-
bers OF classified Insertions by tcie-
phone.
Every possible arrangement has
been made outside the building to
connect the various news sources.
Every paper in Washington must
cover the White House, Congress and
the other government departments.
Each important department has its
press room, and Congress has its
press galleries. Reporters covering
these places need not go to The Star
office when they have stories to turn
in, but have direct telephone Iires
from the press rooms to the city room
at the office over which they dictate
the stories.
THE various city reporters, espe-
cially those who do the routine city
news, get much of their information
by telephone. Though perhaps he
won't admit it, the average reporter
would have missed many a movie,
