The Frenchman threw both hands

may be, the truth remains that
we have no market in which to
sell the ships under our present
policy. and a program of surrender
and sacrifice and the liquidation
which is inevitable unless the
pending legislation is sanctioned

Sees Disaster II Bill Fails.
When the question is asked
Why the insistence for the mer-
chant marine act now? the an
sWer is apparent Waving every
inspiration which lies In Il con-
structive plan for maintaining our
flag on the commercial highways
of the seas, waiving the prudence
in safeguarding against another
s3.006.o0o. ZOO madness if war ever
again impels, we have the unavoid-
able task of wiping out a $4,000
600 annual loss in operation and
losses aggregating many hundreds
of millions in worn. .out, sacrificed
or scrapped shipping Then the
supreme humiliation. the admis-
sion that the United States-our
America, once eminent among the
maritime nations of the worlds
incapable of asserting itself in the
peace trTumphs on the seas of the
world. 1t would seem to me doubly
humiliating when We own the
ships and fail in the genius and
capacity to turn their prows to-
ward the marts of the world.
This problem cannot longer be
ignored. its attempted solution
cannot longer be postponed. The
failure of Congress to act decisive
ly will be no less disastrous than
adverse action.
Three Courses Open.
Three courses of action are pos
sible, and the choice amr ng them
is no longer to be avoideu
The first is constructive-enact
the pending bill. under which, 1
firmly believe. an American mer-
chant marine, privately owned and
privately operated. but serving all
the people and always available to
the government in any emergency,
may be established and maintained.
The second is obstructive-con-
tinue government operations and
attending government losses and
discourage private enterprise by
rnnnnfitjnn Irn1nr
which losses are met by the pub
lice treasury, and witness the con-
tinued losses and deterioration
until the colossal failure ends in
sheer exhaustion.
The. third is destructive-involv
ing the sacrifice of our ships
abroad or the scrapping Of them at
home, the surrender of our aspira-
tions and the confession of our i'm
potence to the world in general,
and our humiliation before the
competing world in particular.
Stands for 1--WE WILL"
A choice among the three is in
evitable. 1t is unbelievable that
the American people or the Con-
gress which expresses their power
will consent to surrender and de-
struction. 1t Is equally unbeliev-
able that our people and the Con-
gress which translates their wishes
into action will longer sustain a
program of obstruction and at
tending losses to the Treasury.
have come to urge the con-
structive alternative, to reassert

gram upon which failure and

GAME MORE PLENTIFUL.

The game season. which ended with
the old year, has been an enjoyable
one for the hunters and we under
stand that an abundance of birds for
restocking purposes has been left over
The fact that quail and similar game
birds were plentiful during the season
Just closed is due very largely to the
protection afforded them by the en-
forcement OF the protective laws OF
the State and OF the United States,
and should be an incentive TO have
them continued in effect, with a few
minor notifications that several
sportsmen think would be advan-
tageous.
Our game birds are a big asset to
those who grow crops of whatever
kind. and they should have n protec-
ton in accordance with their great
worth. Molly Cottontails enough es-
capped the hunter TO assure. with
their wonderful powers OF multipli-
cation, abundance for next year

HAPPY ICE MAN.

Formerly II was the habit OF the ice
man to begin TO worry about this time
every winter, lest there be no weather
cold enough TO enable him 10 gather
a crop for his summer customers; but
these later days he does not care hang
whether there is any freezing tenn
perature or not. Probably he would
prefer to have perpetual summer with
a temperature Of 30 degrees or so, for
he has the forces of nature beaten
all to pieces when it comes to max
ing ice, summer or winter
The ice man OF later years has little
else 10 do in winter than count his
earnings for the past summer ard TO
estimate his possible profits for the
coming heated season. He seems TO
have nothing left to worry over.

JUST FOLKS
By Edgar A. Guest.
SEIF-DENIAI.

TO crafty a whim is fine. it's fun TO
loaf along the way.
It's nice to get the little things which
make for comfort day by day;
To live in luxury is what we all desire
beyond a Doubt
But, after all, success is won by what
Wen bravely do without.
Nobody ever got TO fame by treading
only easy ways,
And none by Sinking bitter tasks has
ever won a word of praise;
For every lofty goal we seek, each one
of us must pay the price.
There is no victory worth while but
what is born of sacrifice.
Who scorns 10 do the hard work now,
will have TO do 1t later on,
No fortune shall We ever build on
money that is spent and gone;
And though we dream of greater joys
that we shall claim along the way
They will not come TO us unless some
joys we do without today.
Wen never come TO wealth or fame
upon the whims we crafty.
In comfort and the luxuries the
greater glories do not lie:
For victory there is price which
every man is asked to pay,
Who would have much tomorrow here
must do without as much today.

NATIONS UNTAPPED WEALTH.

The State Commissioner OF Forestry
delivered an address in Pittsburg last
summer. in the course of which he
asserted that the barren, mountain
lands of Pennsylvania. if bought and
refOrested by the Commonwealth,
would yield an annual income, before
the century ended, in excess of the
yearly revenues which the State now
collects from all sources. Secretary
Fall Of the Department of the Inter
ior gives us something of similar
character Of which to reflect, in
his annual report published Yesterday.
He states that the United States
Government owns. in the 400, ,000, 900
acres of land still held in the public
domain, natural resources worth $780,
900 900, 600, and that if they We're de-
veloped they would return 2,000, ,000,-
600 to the Treasury in royalties, rent
ais and the like. Secretary Fall sug-
gests that the development Of these
resources offers a way through which
10 relieve citizens of parts Of their tax
burden. This is a thought which
should be borne in mind by the legis-
lators in making appropriations for
such development. When retrench-
ment is called for, it is frequently
those Government activities which are
really investmynts that are the first
to suffer.
Money devoted to the establishment
Of forests, the reclamation OF deserts
and the opening mp OF Alaska, is not
spent in the same sense as 1t is spent
when used for the purchase OF mu-
nitions; it is invested and will be re-
coyerable, with heavy interest, i'm the
future. There should be n liberal atti-
tude, therefore, towards proposed APP
propriations for such purposes. IL the
setting aside of Government funds for
the development of our natural re-
sources adds TO the taxes now, 1t will
reduce them in greater measure later
on. II is bread cast upon the waters
