The following from The Continent
and reprinted in the Michigan Chris
tian Advocate viii prove very inter
esta2:
Certain ape@fr arguments swung
America over to Prohibition.
The meanness Of business that
thrivcd by nlicting poverty and
wrctchcdncss on the households Of its
mott devoted customers; the wicked
ness If a business that brazenly de
stroyod the h,st in young manhood
that it could get its talons on; the
deviltry Of a business that everywhere
made traffic Of the virtue Of woman
hood. the practical treason Of a bust
ress which allied itself with the most
v.iiainous forces in municipal and
leacvm politics. the outrageous
wastefglness Of a. business that vi
ia,ei the WoductivoAess of industry
the purchasing power Of homes and
the security OF credit, whi,h it multi
Pile the unrequited costs Of private
philanthropy and public charity as
well as public correctional were
the arguments that in the end per-
suaded American common sense to
brand The liquor trade Il perpetual
outlaw.
Those we've good arguments--sound
reasons-true Indictments. And they
have today Just as much force as they
ever did.
The astounding proiteering OF
boctleggers, the folly Of men who
drink poison whisky TO their IRENE
diable hurt, the selfish complaints of
prigs concerned for nothing on earth
but the accustomed Utilization Of their
aristocratic ralates, even the crime
wave whose violent ovcrhang from
war passions prohibition has not been
able to forestall-not any one or all
Of these changes the big fundamental
considerations that brought prohibi-
ton into heng.
And what's needed just now is the
general renewal of the great accusa-
tons under which liquor was adjudged
sn ntolerable criminal.
Let preachers declare these things
in their pulpits.
Especially let Christian laymcn talk
them anew in their business places, in
their offices, in their homes, in the
homes Of their friends, on trains, in
hotels-anywherc, everywhere.
Prohibition was not won by idle
ness. Idleness will not preserve il.

MORE WORK THAN PAY

1t is doubtful if the realizes the amount of
time devoted to the public welfare by town officials and men,
bers of the governing bodies
They consider their time their own
Scarcely day but what approac hes
them with request suggestion community
affairs Each OF these must be carefully considered
angles and the good points weighed against ones
This requires much time and thought all of which
from their private business affairs The slight
they receive from the town treasury is but ptance
compared with the value of the time energy they devote
the public good.

other products, have freight bills ag-
gregating millions Of dollars annually.
Some of these already use American
vessels. They figure expenses closely,
and consider that saving of s per
cent, especially when deducted from
income taxes. is worth waiting for.
In this connection attention was
directed yesterday to the figures made
public recently by the Consolidated
number OF independent steel concerns
organized under the Webb Pomerene
act for foreign trade. This corpora
tion last year shipped 800, 900 tons of
steel products. on which it paid ss,ooo,-
600 in freight charges. OF this vol
ume oo perfcent was sent on American
ships. Under the provisions Of the
proposed subsidy hifl the corporation
would have saved it's members 1927 900
on the basis OF goods actually sent on
United States steamers, or 100000 il
all shipments had gone on tonnage
registered under the American flag.
Spot Market Active
Prospects for enactment of the bill
are said in some quarters to be one
important reason why very few char
ters are being made now for July and
August Meanwhile the market is feir-
~ active tor immediate shipments.
In the last week the full-cargo
steamer market has been unusually
slow. except in the transatlantic grain
trades. Rates are fairly steady on the
recent low levels, with little prospect
Tor improvement soon. The demand for
tonnage continues light, and the sup
ply available for prompt and future
delivery is sufficient for all known re-
quirements, according to Lunham &
Moore. ocean freight brokers.
Grain rates that are currently QUOT
cd are: Atlantic ports to European
Continent, early June, lac a hundred
pounds; Denmark, 22c for three ports:
West Italy, zoe; Spanish Portuguese
Atlantic. l9c.
The heavy movement of sugar. to-
gether with the transfer of some ships
from the West Indian trade, has re-
suited IN slight advance in rates to
New York and Philadelphia, from 15c
to lie. The coal market remains dull
because of the strike. Many inquiries
are reported in Great Britain for ship
ment to the United States, but thus
far these have resulted in little real
business
