SHOOTING STARS,
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON
The Return.

The Return.
When the monday glare has faded
From the lofty azure dome,
And the lane is softly shaded,
Then the cattle turn for home.
When a lifetime's toll and yearning
See the twilight drawing near
Memory always finds us turning
To the scenes that Youth found dear.
And our pace anew we strengthen
AS the backward trail we roam.
When the evening shadows lengthen.
Then the cattle-turn for home.

nary to the presidential campaign of

1928.
In recent months. while proposed
REORGANIZATION of the Democratic
party has been under spirited discus.
sion by Democrats. Mr.. Oldffeld has
consistently maintained the conten-
ton that the f1rst step toward reor-
ganization was to win the next con-
gressional elections and thus to gain
a position to frame policies on a foun-
dation of actions. The Democrats dur
ing the last campaign complained Of
lack of means of publicity and diff
Guilty in getting Democratic theories
before the public. No doubt out of
this complaint has grown the formu-
lation OF the idea of e,tablishing a
strictly partisan newspaper.
Mr.. Oldfield prophesies a circulation
Pof million copies weekly for the new
publication. He explains that it is
not to favor factions or the personal
political fortunes Of candidates. Dem.
ocratic candidates for office, regard.
less of personalities or factions, are to
be supported. The editorial control of
the paper is to be vested in board
which VIII include members of all fac.
tlons Of the party. Victory for Democ.
racy at the polls is to be the guiding
motive.
Another feature of editorial and
news policy is to be aggressive assault
upon the alleged errors and weak.
nesses of the Republican party. The
Democrats are not to be always on
the defensive. but alleged Republican n
omissions and commissions are to he
assailed. Mr.. Oldfeld charges that
the special interests seeking special
privileges through the aid of the Re.
puolcan party seem to influence the
press That is ''old stuff" of course.
heretofore sponsored by Democratic
leaders and more than once riddIed
by independent as well as by partisan n
Republican newspapers.
The appearance of the new partisa y
weekly will be welcomed as adding to
the sayety Of politics. The Republi.
cans have a partisan weekly of their
own and in the future the man who
reads can have before him the policies
and actions of both Of the two great
parties.

Ship Subsidy in New Guise
Gets Knocks and Boosts

a means to do away with the differen-
tial between American and foreign
wages of seamen, there is another pro-
posal he might make. Let him call at
tention to the fact that one of the
chief factors in this differential is
the La Toilette seamen's act. Let him
then propose the repeal of that act.
and thus make it possible for Ameri-
can shipownerS to do what other ship
owners do-that is, to hire their crews
on the best possible terms" The Great
Falls Tribune. however, cites the recent
sale by the Shipping Board of five big
merchant liners to the Robert Dollar
Ship Co., and continues: "The interest
ing part of Robert Dollars PROPOSE
ton is that he is willing to buy these
ships and run them in the ocean trade
under the terms of the La Toilette
bill for flve years.
Satire is hurled at "our ancient.
much battered, oft-rejected. pesti.
lential friend, the ship subsidy by
the New York Evening World. which
declares: The sponsor of the nlan
wants to get the Government out of
the shipping business, but he wants
the Government in the shipping bust
ness to the extent of taxing the people
to raise $50 month for every mem
Der OF the crews of the vessels of
private interest. The Government
pays the money, the private interest
taxes the profits, snd-the Govern
ment gets out of the shippinp husi-
ness" AS opposed to this view tho
Manchester Union asserts that the
objects of the O'Connor proposal are
universally conceded to be sound. but
remains to be seen whether the
oiQ objections to any form of shin
subsidy are to be revived with suffi-
clent backing to defeat the proposal"
The Union sees hose in "the new an
probation which has come to the
agricultural West of its dependence
upon expectation of foodstufrs for
rural prosperity"
1t is certain that merchant marine
subsidy bills will be offered at the next
sessions of Congress. according to the
Chicago Daily News "If there is a
satisfactory alternative to direct sub
sides, that fact should be made
plain" the News proposes. eff en-
emption of shipping companies from
certain taxes can take the place of
direct aid," It submits. THAI circunl.
stance should be brought to public
attention" Favorable attention is
given to the matter also by the PhiIa-
delphia Evening Bulletin, which holds
that public opinion would not toler-
ate lowering of American shipping
costs at the expense of the sailors
pocket or comfort The Bulletin de-
clares ''it is but logical, then, If Con
gress wants to see American merchant
men real competitors in world trade,
it should give American operators
some compensating financial ad-
vantage"
1T looks as though action of some
sort would haye to be taken if the
American merchant marine is to be
maintained. and if subsidy is the an
,swer 1t must be accepted. = in the
opinion OF the Springfield Daily News
The administration is likely to meet

Heated debate accompanies the re-
vival Of the ancient controversy over
Government aid for American ship
ping. The subject comes as a result
Of the proposal by Chairman O'Con-
nor Of the Shipping Board that $40
monthly wage bonus be paid to each
American sailor aboard an American
ship. Some Of the opponents of the
measure make renewed attack on the
seamen's act. I
The contention that subsidies should
be avoided II possible and that bonuses
to workers are hardly more desirable
in principle is made by the Pittsburgh
Gazette-Times. I'VE might expect
the proposed form of subvention
would arouse the enthusiasm of po-
litical demagogues," the Gazette
Times argues. "but it will not suit
their ideas of right and justice, since
it would not threaten the success of
the ship owners" The Pittsburgh
paper attacks the seamen's act as
constituting .'the principal obstacle to
development of an American mer-
chant marine through making ship
operation more expensive under Old
Glory than under foreign flags" AS
the New York Evening Post sees it:
THE cost is reckoned at So 100000
yearly, for American ships now in serv-
ice and S6,000,0 900 annually when / 5 900
reservists' man the merchant fleet.
That cost would be less than the pres
ent deficit for Government-owned
ships-very much less, in fact. The
shipping interests will support it,, of
course. A goodly part of their pay
roll would be met thereby. Never.
theless, it is a subsidy that cannot
very well be disguised. unless these
men are carried as naval reservists
rather than merchant marine re-
serves" and two of the most unpopu-
lar words in the American language
today are subsidy and bonus. 4
X y y
The subsidy is mentioned Incl
dentally in commendation of President
Coolidge's interest in the future of
the American merchant marine, by the
Norfolk Ledger Dispatch. 1.-The whole
trouble has been," says the Norfolk
paper, that no administration within
the memory of the present generation
has been free from influences detri-
mental to the American merchant ma
rine. The word subsidy has been like
red flag and has been seized upon
by anti-merchant marine propa-
gandists to prevent any preferential
treatment for American ships. The
bonus for seamen, on it's face, is an
indirect subsidy and offers no par
tioularly attractive prospect so far
as permanent results are concerned"
The Racine Times Call commends
the proposal that the United States
Chamber of Commerce have survey
of the situation made and report on
Government policies designed to set
the shipping industry on it's feet. add.
ing: 'It is question fraught with
grave consequences TO the country,
both in the matter of industry and ma
tional defense, and should be worked
out to "a definite conclusion at the
earliest possible time."

Hurley On Short
End Of Score
Ironwood Basketeers Grab of q
Victory IL to 4; First Half Re-
plete with Thrills.

The Hurley High school basket
ball team again suffered defeat at
the hands of the Ironwood highs last
Friday evening at the Lincoln school
gym, when the visitors won by a
score of IL to 4.
All the scoring was done in the
second half, neither side being able
to register in the first half. A free
throw gave Ironwood first blood
shortly after the start of the second
half. The visitors followed it up
with five baskets, while Hurley was
able to make but one basket and two
free throws.
The first half was nip and tuck,
neither side having any advantage.
The ball see-sawed back and forth,
keeping the fans constantly on edge.
1t was one of the most blood-stirring
contests ever staged at the local
gym. Both teams missed several
chances to ring a basket and they
were just as unfortunate in at
tempts at free throws.
The Ironwood boys were huskier
than the Hurley lads and outweigh
ed and out-reached them consider,
ably. In spite of this handicap, Hur-
ley played them even in the first
half. During the intermission
Coach Black must have given his
warriors liberal doses of "eat- EN-
up" or else the Hurley boys had
shot their powder, for the visitors
outplayed Hurley throughout the
second seance.
