THAT MATTER OF SHIPPING

In the turmoil of our domestic af-
fairs, the imperative need of MAIN
tainIn-. along with law and order. the
transportation facilities Of this great
country complicated as they are by
s'ikcs ana unrest and consequent in
ability TO properly make the most of
business opportunities at home, that
very important matter Of protecting
and encoura ging our shipping ap-
rarently has dropped from mind.
1t has not dropped from the British
mind That Great Britain is keenly
alive to the competition she would
have to face if we tfeat our merchant
marine in a progressive spirit is seen
from what the British under secre-
tary Of foreign affairs told the House
Of Commons this week. He said the
government had the power and might
find it necessary TO impose such du-
ties on foreign tonnage or goods as
may be required to counterNail any
disadvantage British trade or ship
ping may suffer from preferences
granted by foreign governments to
their vessels or goods.
While it is not likely that England
will entirely throw over her free trade
policy she may modify it more than
she has hitherto done, and as for aid
ing hex shipping this is no new thing
with that government. l. is a long
established policy. II seems but fair
70 presume that the making of these
statements at this time is in the ma
ture Of a threat to the United States
if it pursues the policy outlined by
President Harding for Substituting our
merchant marine
Are we to heed E.ngland's pleasure
in this matter?

SENATORS AND THEIR MOTIVES

Must a man give that which he
hath TO the poor before he may be
eligible TO sit in the United States
Senate,
One might infer a $ much from the
partisan attack which is being made
by Democrats on Republican senato
who own sheep ranches and voted
early and often for the tariff on wool
OF course the we'll informed reader
knows what al! this signifies and
draws his conclusions accordingly
But not all have had the opportunity
or the disposition TO become we'll in
formed and their conclusions are very
likely to be erroneous. Those who
make The charges evidently hope so.
But this much may be said: While
a member of Congress. if sufficiently
successful in life TO warrant his being
a member. may be expected to have
interests in some things affected by
legislation, and may fairly be expect
ed to know more about those matters
than do those who have no such in
terests. he should so vote that It may
be demonstrable that he did so for
the good of all concerned.

Hearing About Opening Get
chell Brook to Fishing
Personals

Local fishermen are much interest
cd over the effort to again open the
Getcholl brook on the Arson side of
the river to lawful fishing. Six Years
ago, largely through the efforts of
property owners along the brook who
objected to the tramping through
their fields, the brook was closed to
all fishing This brook has been one
OF the most famous trout brooks III
this section since the days Of the
carly settlers. \ hearing has been
appointed for nett Saturday after
noon in the law office of County At
torney Thorne and all persons who
desire that tho brook again be opened
to fishing will be given a chance to
express their sentiments in regard to
the matter. it is claimed by those in
close touch with the situation that
owing to lack of proper protection
from game wardons that the pcrpct
ual close time has resulted in un-
lawful fishing by few persons TO
the detriment of the other fishermen.
