Odd Fellows Band

The tO.O.F. Band was a success.
Mr.. Craven, director, had done good
work in getting into shape a bunch
of inexperienced members, and
making out of them fairly good mu-
siGians. OF course. there were some
few musicians TO form a nucleus.
It is hoped That this organization
will continue to function and that
we may continue TO be favored by
their concerts.

LEADERS CLASH.
The closing hours of general de-
bate yesterday brought into the
fray the opposing party leaders.

on the opposition to quit founder.

pending bill. Democratic Leader

which will pay only about 10 per

unsatisfactory partial utilization of
the fleet by the Federal Govern.
ment and that the total charge
upon the Treasury, if the plan pro-
posed by the bill works success
fully, can never be in excess of the
sum now being spent by the Gov
ernment In an unsatisfactory way,
and with a comparatively small
fleet actually in commission.
One Of these unquestioned facts.
the question that stares us squarely
in the face, Is What are we going
to do about it?" and the opponents
Of the bill so far have not answered
that question. One gentleman on the
Republican side has evaded il by
suggesting that whatever the merits
OF the legislation may be, It Is not
politically safe for him to vote for
it. One gentleman on the Demo.
cratic side endeavored to evade the
direct issue by the puerile suggestion
Of further investigation and a new
Shipping Board.
The bug-a-boo of the Steel Trust
and the Standard Oil has been trotted
out as an excuse for non-action, and
one Democratic orator arose to the
height of absurdity by trying to prove
that American wages are not higher
than foreign wages and American
shipping requirements no more ex.
pensive than those of our foreign
competitors.
But out of it all the Presidents g
challenge still stands. Shall we
pursue policy of obstruction; shall
We embark upon a policy Of destruc-
ton. or shall me adopt a policy of
construction?
We can continue to pay out large
sums OF public moneys without
definite accomplishment until the
fleet shall fall into complete decay.
We might sink or give away the
fleet at once. or sell a part of It
for a song to our foreign rivals.
Either of these policies would be
applauded abroad.
Or we can. and we should. adopt
policy, which. costing no more.
il IL shall cost as much as the
present policy. bids fair to give us
commercial fleet second to zone
in the world. and a goodly salvage
from the investment we have al.
ready made-a salvage sufficient
to pay all costs of operation for
years to come.
This Administration was called
to authority by the American peo.
pie with the direct and emphatic
mandate to carry out constructive
policies. We are confronted with
one of the most important Of the
problems that mandate presents to
us. Shall we take an obstructive
or reactionary attitude, or shall we
move forward along constructive
lines as the American people expect
us to do? That is the question pre-
sented in the Shipping Bill.

By FRANK W. MONDELL,

The close of the general debate
on the shipping bill finds the op-

without a single definite construc-
tive suggestion made or offered.

Men who are anxious to be classed
- Progressives are occupying q
wholly obstructive standpoint and
unprogressive attitude. Other men
who pride themselves on being op-
posed to Government ownership or
management try to find excuses for
Government ownership or manage
ment Of the merchant marine.
No opponent of the bill has even
attempted to answer the very peril
nent inquiry propounded by the
President as to what we are to do
with the merchant marine which we
have builded at 30 enormous a cost.
The position Of those in opposition.
who offer no alternative to the plan
proposed, must be somewhat en-
barrassing. in view of the fact that
the attitude they take is exactly that
