Heroism Heightens Pride
In Our Merchant Marine.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The triumphal arrival of the Presi-
dent Roosevelt in New York, with her
indomitable and skillful master, her
prime seaman of a chief officer and
her heroic crew, is n notable occasion.
1t may forecast renaissance of real
interest in maritime s.ffairs.
This, along with other recent val
liant rescues, shows that the keen COM
petition of the shipping business is
tempered by the brotherhood of the
sea. Yet it, more than any other in
dustry, appeals to national pride.
Every American may take little
additional pride to himself. for this
splendid vessel, being d unit of the
great Government fleet. is owned by
the people, and who indirectly en-
ploy the crew. Each person con-
tributes, roughly, 2o cents annually
to help keep a line of American flag
passenger ships running to Europe
and on the Pacific. This makes it
possible for particularly loyal people
TO travel under the American flag, and
to ship freight likewise. Some take
a certain degree of satisfaction in see
ing their flag at the taffrail. have con-
fldence In the seamanship Of their
countrymen, and while desiring to
travel abroad like to remain under
eAAN SoAOAS 90 iOii5 pOSSlUiS.
There are some who question this
as being loyalty. The situation is
this: Whenever a passage of, say,
5000 IS paid to Europe or China on
a foreign steamer you are contribut-
ing to the support Of a naval auxiliary
of another country, which in time of
war would be used against America.
We ourselves need such auxiliaries.
The 5-5-3 naval ratio does not attempt
to balance the merchant fleets and
their potential value.
So 1T is, besides securing the privi-
lege Of haying American passenger
ships available. the % cents helps
maintain a unit of defense, and keeps
300 freighters on the sea-
These cargo vessels keep lines of
trade open for American merchandise.
much of which never would be sold
were It not for their operation. The
mills of the country are thus run
many hundreds of hours solely due
to the existence of these ships.
The question may be asked by some,
Why is it necessary for the Govern
ment to do it?
Simply because it costs more to run
a mill hero than It does In foreign
lcountries, aslA. likewise. 4 costs more

Telegram, which suggests a course Of
action: Soviet Russia is asking for
recognition from the other nations.
Many of them possess the repudiated
bonds of monarchical Russia. which
the first official act of the Bolshevtk
government made worthless. If there
existed any chance for that chaotic
form of government to become en-
titled to such recognition. its one best
opportunity will be to hold an official
auction and turn the proceeds over TO
the holders of the bonds which were
issued by the emperor who was the
owner of those jewels
On the other hand, the Omaha
World Herald sees a hopeful sign in
the fact that the crown jewels ARE to
be employed for the building of new
and sturdy foundations of a recon-
structed country. After 10 years or
desperate struggle for a government
h-- the people, of persecution and in
tolerance by the new powers at Petro-
grad and Moscow" adds the Omaha
paper, after a period of awful labor,
the new Russia is apparently being
born"
Gems for plows-good: but work
for plows is better" declares the New
York World This money can be
used and will be used for the purchase
of agricultural machinery which can
not be had through loans. 1t will
help temporarily But it does not
represent constructive capacity on the
part of the Soviet. 1t is a very sim
pie plan which the most elemental
mind could formulate. 1t merely
means the taking over of the accumu-
lations of other people. This is the
traditional weakness of most reVolu-
tionistS.'
The Portland Telegram, however,
suggests that "the new state e-planning
board is bringing order and design
into the revolutionary chaos, and this
effort to turn jeweled luxuries into
practical necessities is an indication
of good Judgment THE gems are
superfuities," the Philadelphia Public
Ledger also thinks, while there is no
way to raise wheat in the arabic areas
or to move it after 1t is garnered. 1t
is acres of grain, not diamonds. that
are wanted, and the plan to convert
tiaras, brooches and lockets into
! plowshares is a sign Of reasonable
ness on the part of the commissars.
The Santa Monica Outlook wonders
whether there actually are any crown
| jewels to trade. 1T is possible" adds
this daily, that some Of the money
which the Bolshevists have expended
for propaganda in favor of world
revolution has been derived from this
source. That it might better have
been expended for caring for poverty
stricken Russians is fact that comes
to mind Whatever the truth In re-
| lation to the valuable collection may
| be, nobody will believe that 1t has been
| kept intact and is to be used for the
good of the people rather than for
the gain OF the rulers Of the peolsH"

Oil Conservation.

Reports and forecasts that ex-'
haustion of our domestic supply of
petroleum is but a few years off have
often been made. The Federal board
on oil production and conservation,
consisting of the Secretaries of the
Interior, War, Navy and Commerce,
was told at a recent hearing that
"the known oil In the United States
is sufficient to last eight years II
consumption does not increase and
II all the oil could be got out in that
time" An oil expert whose opinion
is given much weight made that
statement. and he added: But con-
sumption will increase and we can
not get the oil out in eight years. so
new discoveries are imperative"
Economy in the use Of petroleum
and its derivatives is urged. Where
the economy is to begin and who Is
to practice it are the great uues-
tions There is no sign that the
tendency toward putting oil-burning
plants in homes. office buildings and
the automobilists who will lay up
their cars and take to the trolleys to
aid in the conservation of oil? Where
are the autoists who will lay aside
their plans for transcontinental and
Maine to Florida tours or trips from
Washington to Harpers Ferry. Get
tysburg. Atlantic City and Benedict
when the weather turns fair? Per-
haps economy in the use of oil will
not be practiced till its scarcity
causes it's price to rise. .
Oil exhaustion prophecies seem to
deal with production in the United
States and sometimes assume that
all the oil fields have been found and
drilled. There is hope that big finds
are yet to be made. There are for
eign oil fields to draw on and mort
oil regions may be brought into bear

The real maxims of Lord Chester
field are to be drawn from his letters
rather than from the official compi
lation which he SO labeled.
The latter is a weary document
lacking the appeal Of the sprightly
epistles, in which the man revealed
his heart and soul.
In the "Maxims,'' Lord Chesterfield
was on dress parade. and his thoughts
are dressed up in consequences; in the
Letters" on the other hand, he is
negligently at ease, with the result
that true maXimS are to be found on
every page.
With this thought in mind, I have
gone carefully through the letters,
and have abstracted sentences which
perhaps represent the author at his
best. Such a selection. as any Of the
nature, must suffer from the too close
but ought to better serve to display
the mind Of Chesterfield than the
"Maxims" commonly printed.
The selection follows:
The first thing you should attend to
is, to speak whatever language you
do speak. in it's greatest purity, and
according to the rules of grammar.
This is not all: for not to speak i'll.
is not sufficient: we must speak well;
and the best method of attaining to
that, is to read the best authors with
attention; and to observe how people
of fashion speak, and those who ex-
press themselves BEST for shop
keepers, common people, footmen and
maid-Servants all speak Ill.
The ambition of silly fellow will be
TO have a fine equipage, fine house,
and fine clothes; things which any
body, that has as much money, may
have as well as he: for they are all
TO be bought; but the ambition of a
man of sense and honor is to be dis
tinguished by a character and reputa-
ton of knowledge, truth and virtue
things which are not to be bought,
and that can only be acquired by a
good head and u good heart.
Know, that as learning, honor and
virtue are absolutely necessary to gain
you the esteem and admiration of
mankind, politeness and good breeding
are equally necessary, to make you
welcome and agreeable in conversation
and common life.
Without attention, nothing Is to be
done.

are at least sure OF excelling a great
many.
Dancing is in itself a very trifling,
silly thing; but it IS one of those estaD
iished follies to which people of sense
are sometimes obliged to conform; and
then they should be able to do IL well.
Be ?wiser than other people II you
can. but do not tell them SO.
If you can once engage peoples
pride, love, pity. ambition on your
side. you need not fear what their
reason can do against you.
There is no surer sign in the world
of n little, weak mind. than inatten-
ton.
Mind not only what people say but
how they say it: and, if you have any
sagacity, you may discover more truth
by your eyes than by your ears. Peo-
pie can say what they will, but they
cannot look what they will, and their
looks frequently discover what their
words are calculated to conceal.
Among women, as among men,
there are good as well as bad, and II
may be full as many, or more, good
than among men.
Judge of individuals from your
knowledge of them, and not from
their sex, profession or denomination.
AS the generality Of people are weak
enough to be pleased with little things,
those who refuse to please them. SO
