were inadvertently omitted by the

Popcorn Johnny disavows any
knowledge, guilty or otherwise, of the
identity of the joker, and for proof
of his contention that he himself was
not the guilty party, points to the
fact that he voted IN the First Ward
and could not, therefore, have also
marked a ballot in the Third without
having fagrantly violated one of the

account of the most tremendous de-
preston in shipping ever known in his
tory there was no demand for the
ships, Chairman Lasker began i'm
mediately to berate the wooden ships
in the most violent manner "These
ships are absolutely useless" he told
the committee and the newspapers,
"and should be sunk" Which is hard
ly what "a prudent, solvent business
man not forced to SELL" would do.
He was asked the following ques-
ton and gave the following reply:
Mr.. Kelly representative from
Michigan)-"Of course this is not the
right time to sell any kind of ships.
You would have considerable diff
Guilty in selling a steel ship, would you
not?"
Mr.. Lasker-"I make the prediction
that you will never reach the time
when you will sell those wooden ships.
You cannot give a ship away today. I
mean that literally, if a man must pay
the most of operation"
And later in his testimony before
the same committee Mr.. Lasker said:
81 am going to sink the boats if we
cannot sell them or give them away
Whereupon Representative Kelly
was moved to observe that, "Of course
. with your declaration to that effect
you would not expect to get much o.

we'll as the cost of the construction
of purchase price of the vessels to be
sold, and any other facts or conditions
that would influence a prudent, solvent
business man in the sale of similar
vessels or property which he is not
forced to SELL"
How did Mr.. Lasker carry out this
act?
He proceeded Immediately to de-
vote most Of his time TO condemning
and d~isparaging the goods he had to
sell. Was this consistent with good
business methods ?" No, but Mr.. Las
ker thereby laid the foundation for
his first promise-that the govern
ment could not proceed as intended
under the Jones act, as " a prudent,
solvent business man in the sale of
similar vessels he is not forced to
SELL" would proceed. AS Representa-
tive Davis, of Tennessee, said on the
floor of the house, although called
to head the shipping board and to dis.
pose of our vast government ship,
ping interests, he seems determined tt
destroy the investment. He talks mucl
more about sinking the ships than h,
does about selling them. He Seems
, infinitely more concerned about saving
/, his own mutton than he does in tn
/ welfare of the sick patient which h
: says he has inherited. It is under

: but I am sure he did not make ths
success by advertising and magnify
