Trading Ships
and Railroads
vYYHAT is the matter with
wv the American merchant ma

rinei
We have the ships, we have
lots of them, built in those des-
perate hours Of the war when
England cried for "ships and yet
more ships lest she perish.
America was implored to build
faster than the submarines could
destroy.
Well, we built faster than the
submarines could destroy, and we
sent destroyers that sank the sub=
marines. When all was done, we
had the ships for a great mer-
chant marine. Our ocean going
steamers in 1914 were 100000
gross register tons; in 1921 there
were 13,600,0O0 tons. In the same
period England's tonnage had
grown only from 18,900,000 to
19,300,00O tons.
Practically all of our increase
was due to construction by the
United States Shipping Board,
and the vessels. are still on its
hands.
Today the Shipping Board is
trying to sell its vessels to pri-
vate American steamship COM
panies. 1t offers the ships at ex-
tremely low prices, but finds no
buyers. Reason: The cost of
operating American ships is high
er than British or Japanese, due
to the higher wages we must pay
to get men to go to sea.
That is, the shipping industry is
one that needs protection. Pro-
lection to an American steamship
line is given by paying it a bonus
called a subsidy-equal to the
difference between the operating
cost of American and British
steamships. The Shipping Board
proposes such a subsidy, based on
the size, speed and mileage Of
American foreign trade vessels,
and amounting first to $15,000,-
900, later to $30,00O,OO0 per year.
They figure that the assurance
of a subsidy will induce American
shipping companies to purchase
the ships. Perhaps. 1t is worth
trying.
However, there is one class Of
prospective buyers for Shipping
Board tonnage who will not need
to be paid a subsidy long, be-
cause they can fill their ships
so full that they will earn more
than foreign-flag rivals and will
require no bonus to meet an oper-
atIng deficit.
These prospective buyers are
the American railroads. All roads
terminating at each port would be
encouraged jointly to establish
worldwide services. The scores
of thousands of railroad agents
that dot the country would auto
matically become American steam
ship agents. The American trans
portation system would no longer
halt at the seaboard, but would
extend itself around the world.

which fills the boards warehouse

ways and Easements are stacked with
them, to the number, it is said, of a
hundred. Commissioner Somers ex-
plains that there is no market for
these things any more. Piano deal
ers not only won't buy them, but
demand to be paid by the owners for
carting them away as junk. In part
this is the result of changing styles.

or he will have none. But even more,
the glut Of square instruments is due
to the changing nature of our physical
civilization. The upright piano sue
ceeded to the square because it took
up less of the floor; already 'bunga-
low editions are on the market which
are smaller still; and no doutb our
grandchildren (if they do not get all
their music by radio) will perform
on an instrument minute enough to
rest on the knees, and to hang from a
hook on the ceiling when not in use.
The onward march of civilization will
not be gainsaid; and, in fact, most
people seem to like it.

For Associate Justice

The suggested probability that Rock
county would have candidate this
year for the supreme court, made in
these columns several weeks ago,
materialized Monday, when Conrad
H. Christopherson, assistant attorney
general, filed as candidate for asso-
ciate justice to succeed Justice j. III.
Quinn, of Fairmont.
Mr.. Christopherson was the fourth
candidate to enter the race for the
supreme court, and a fifth filing was
made Wednesday. Of the five he cas-
lily is the best fitted. He not only is
a young man of excellent legal attain
ments, but what is of even greater
Importance, he is a man of the high
est integrity and an interchangeable
worker. Without casting the slight
est reflection upon the members of
our supreme court, the assertion is not
to be denied that the court would be
benefited by the infusion of some
younger blood and new energy, and we
know of no place where the change
could be made to better advantage
insofar as the public is concerned
than in that to be filled in the coming
election.
Mr.. Christopherson is a native of
Minnesota, being born at Albert Lea
in 1875. He was graduated from the
Albert Lea high school, and later
from the academic department of the
University of Minnesota. He then
spent several years as superintendent
of schools at Long Prairie and then
r. 10 oIn h. rrE
law he re-entered the Minnesota uni
versity and in 1903 was graduated
from the department of law with the
highest honors. He Immediately loc-
ated in Luverne to practice his pro-
fession, and year later was elected
county attorney of Rock county,
which position he held for fourteen
years, when he voluntarily retired.
Two years ago he was appointed as
sistant attorney general and still holds
this position.
AS lawyer Mr.. Christopherson has
won for himeslf an enviable position,
but it is no more enviable than his
standing as man. He is a clean,
square and outstanding in every
way, and much of his professional and
business success, as well as the high
place he holds in the esteem of the
people of Rock county and other Sec
tons where he is we'll known, is due
to his sturdy manhood, high character
and unfailing sense of justice.
The Herald finds genuine pleasure
in being able to announce Mr.. Chris
topherson's candidacy for the supreme
court, and it can unqualiiedly COM
mend him to the favorable considera-
ton of the voters of Minnesota. If
nominated and elected to the high
office be seeks, Mr.. Christoperson
will unquestionably discharge the du-
ties thereof in manner that will
at once be credit to the state as
well as to himself -Luverne Herald.

return of prosperity rests upon every
individual engaged in business.
Thirty-fve thousand of my audiences
have been retailers, who control the
tap at the end of the pipeline of bust
ness. l have urged them to turn on
that tap by adopting new progressive
and aggressive tactics of a sound and
permanent business building charact-
er, and have placed these tactics
fully at their disposal through the
Educational and Better Business de-
partments of our great association,
for the association has recognized the
need for increased efficiency in adj
vertising and in retail selling and in
it's endeavor to help meet this need
is trying to do its part to make BUSH
ness better.
The Inauguration of a Better Adj
vertising Week by our educational
department is indeed most timely.
We are all looking for better bust
ness and better advertising backed
up by better selling should indeed
make for better business and a bet
ter understanding of this advertis-
ing on the part of the public will be
a great help toward that end.
In meeting these new business
conditions it is essential that every
part of business become more eff
cient.
Let us make Better Advertising
Week starting point along these
lines.

The Era of the Upright

New York Globe: There was a
period in American life when the
possession of a square piano was
mark of gentility. 1t showed that
you belonged to the superior class,
that your family was either ION the
make" or had been in some earlier
generation. Those were the days
when there was so much vacant land
that it seemed incredible it could ever
be used up; almost any one who want
ed to could manage to have big lawn
with a big house set in the middle of
it-a house of ten or twelve enormous
rooms, with high ceilings and extra
stairways and other MASTERS of space.
On Wednesday the New York board
of education appealed to the sinking
fund commission to help it get rid OF
a huge accumulation Of square pianos

HERB ARMSTRONG AGAIN
TO DIRECT CAMBRIDGE

Herb Armstrong, manager of the
Cambridge baseball club last year,will
again endeavor to give Cambridge a
pennant-winning team. His cantract
for the 1923 season was satisfactory,
and he has agreed to lead the club for
another year. The club officials will
retain practically the entire team that
went through the 1922 season, though
it is probable that a player or two will
be traded.
With every member Of the team
giving hi, best playing for him,
Armstrong was able to finish in
second place. The early part Of the
season found the Cambridge team
resting down in the second division
and suddenly displaying sensational
baseball, the tail-erder, reached the
first division, and then into second
place. threatening Parsley for leader
