shipping and American ports to the Sc
rious attention of the Canadians and
! the British, Mr.. White proposed that a
special tax of ten per cent be charged
against goods entering the United
States through Canadian ports, so long
as Canada maintains its present prac-
| tice.
Strong protest was made by Mr.
White, too, against 1.-The projection of
fighting ships, in a commercial sense
by the Cunard Co. into the trade be-
tween the United States and Cuba"
He insisted that this British shipping
company had deliberately sought this
indirect trade Of the United States, al
though Great Britain has always pro-
tested vigorously against foreign shipping
entering upon the indirect trade of Brit
ain He insisted that the entry of the
Cunard liners into the trade between the
United States and Cuba is uneconomic
and has been attempted merely to
drive American lines out of business.
He would have the shipping law
amended so as to reach this matter.
If an overseas American merchant
marine is to be a permanent institu-
ton, it behooves the Congress to be
at all times vigilant in the protection
of American shipping against foreign
discrimination. Competition in ship
ping is severe under any conditions.
but when there is discrimination prac-
ticed against American shipping, the
competition becomes ruinous. Under
the fostering care of Congress and the
American Government, overseas ship
lines have in the last decade been built
up despite the competition and protests
of foreign shipping. They have been
built up, too, in spite of the opposi-
ton Of American capital which has
been invested in foreign shipping This
latter has been one of the strong de-
torrents in the past to the upbuilding
of an American merchant marine. The
old cry is raised that the foreigner can
be the carrier of American commerce,
because he can do it cheaper. But that
is foolish policy for American COM
merce, and, furthermore, American
ships have shown their ability to COM
pete in carrying charges with the ships
Of Britain and other maritime nations.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.

Station MAY.
A message is brought With persistence
A message from far, far away
We like it in spite of the distance
From here to the blossoms of May.
The song of the bird, sweet and steady,
Our greatest approval will win,
For the May Queen the worlds making
ready,
And now we are all tuning in.
She is telling of rainbows and showers,
This Queen of the May whom we loye;
OF branches that nod with the flowers
AS sunshine draws near from above
We forget the harsh wind that comes
proving
To warn us new troubles begin;
We forget how the skies may be scowl-
ing,
For now we are all tuning in.

Connie Mack Called Master
AS Philadelphia Honors Him

Eagle. He made it Connie Mack
and he made 1t famous wherever base
ball is known. Athens used to give the
winner of the Olympic games free
board for life. Philadelphia cannot do
that under her municipal limitations.
but she is doing the best she can and
is pleased to know that Connie Mack is
fairly prosperous without regard to
prizes. The olympic winner used to
stand on a table Of ivory and gold to
receive the simple garland of wild olive
fortunately no provision for this had
been made In the Quaker City, always
proud OF Its quiet simplicity. Perhaps
Mr.. Box never dreamed that any form
of athletics would be represented among
his prize winners. Yet the award will
be approved from Maine to California
and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf
as q fair recognition of the part base
ball prestige plays in the civic pride of
the biggest and the littlest of our
American municipalities
HE has been the examplar of thou
sands of boys and young men, not only
in his home city, but wherever. the
ideals Of good craftsmanship are known
and valued" declares the Albany Eve
ming News, adding as to the great sue
cess of the Athletics: But in victory
or defeat, the modesty, integrity and
courage of their leader have been I'M
fatlingly demonstrated. Such character
In a man may well constitute his Serv-

"He represents the best in profess
sional base ball, and this latest tribute
to his work will be applauded by mil
lions of fans scattered throughout the
country" AYERS the Lynchburg Ad-
vance, while the Providence Bulletin
says: mo man in base ball is more
loved than the tall, taciturn manager
of the Athletics, and the honor con-
ferred upon him will be approved as
a just one. In the management Of the
club he has displayed high courage.
maintained rigid standards Of fairness
and promoted the general welfare OF
the great national sport. In his line he
has been as successful as any of the
previous recipients in theirs. Surely he
has made Philadelphia distinguished
for clean base ball, and on the basis Of
the fame that has accrued to the city be-
cause of Maok's stay he merits recogni-
ton as worthy and leading citizen.
Whether in religion, science. sports or
any of the other fields of human en-
deavor we recognize honesty, integrity,
determination and honor, and Mr..
Mack possesses these virtues in full
measure. The award is a splendid
climax to a useful life"

Prefers Cars to Buses
Because of Bad Gases
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Dear Sir: I was interested in the
editorial in your paper, February is,
concerning the weaknesses of the street
cars, in comparison with the newer
mode of transportation, the buses.
I hold no stock in eith:r company
and do not know personally a single
of1cial or employe of either road, so
do not speak from the viewpoint of
prejudiced individual. But am
taking this opportunity to register my
protest against dispensing with street
cars and using entirely lumpity- bump
ity, unsafe, gas-and-smoke- producing,
crowded-to-suffocation buses If any
one Of these weaknesses of the bus is
more Objectionable to me than the
others, 1t is the terrible gas that suffo-
Gates me at every turn when within
two or three blocks of a passing bus.
I am especially susceptible to ali such
gases, tobacco smoke and all other

Purveyors of Poison.

Pernicious propaganda is being con-
Quoted by radical agencies among the
school children of Washington. BY
pamphlets and by meetings and indi-
vidual contacts the young people of the
Capital are being seduced into Com
munism. A statement to this effect was
made at a recent meeting of the
Petworth Citizens Association and an
appeal YVES made b. the mover of a
resolution to secure action that will
check this Ubiquitous procedure. The
difficulty of the situation, as the speaker
at the citizens association meeting
declared, is that there is nothing
specifically unlawful in the methods
employed by the radical organizations.
1t is almost a case for direct action
by citizens to combat this wicked
enterprise.
Some of the literature that is being
handed to the children as they leave
school-in some cases as they enter
schools quite innocent in appearance
but sinister in its implication and sug-
gestion. Other documents and tracts
are more specifically poisonous. The
writer's of these documents are clever
They are what is now generally termed
good psychologists. They try to arouse
the curiosity of the youthful reader,
to appeal to his or her prejudices and
aspirations. They misrepresent the
motives and the morals of those en-
gagged in the conduct of government In
this country and they by the same
token nlisrepresent the workings of the
Communist State in Russia, which is
the source of their inspiration.
Many Of the children take these
tracts and pamphlets home and show
them to their parents, who, as a rule,
are both inclined and able to point out
effectively the dangerous fallacies set
forth in them and to check any tendency
the child may have toward conversion"
to radicalism. But there are other
parents who are Indifferent, who per-
haps have lost interest in the moral
development of their children, to whom
these poisonous prints are of no i'm
portance. Then there are children who
do not show and discuss these docu-
ments with their elders, parents or
friends. Some of these are beguiled
and fooled into belief, thus acquiring
point of view that is very difficult
to overcome later.
MI, - Al.
this matter into consideration. 1t
should try to find a way to combat this
evil It cannot forbid the handing out
Of documents in the streets. That is
for the District Commissioners to at
tend to under some form of police regu-
lation. But the Board of Education
can permit, can perhaps even direct
teachers in the schools to resist this
by calling attention to the evil of the
half-truths and untruths contained in
these leaflets.
If there is any skepticism on the part
of the people of Washington regarding
the malevolent purpose of these Com
munist agents who are engaged in the
barrage of pamphleteering to check the
development of young Americans into
sound citizenship they should be in
formed that this work is definitely or
ganized in the United States by branches
of the Third Internationale at Moscow
which is the directing organization OF
! the Communist party of the world, seek
ing the perversion of all peoples.

Civil Service Retirement
Funds and Exemptions
To the Editor of The star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Mr.. Lehlbachs retirement proposition
does not differ very materially from the
Dale bill in the amount of annuity but
its chief defects are the indefinite
methods of calculating annuities and
the indefensible forfeiture provisions,
which win undoubtedly lead to such
difficulties as were experienced with the
classification and WEIGH acts.
Your editorial relative to retention Of
certain expert officials beyond the ex-
listing limit whose services are invaluable
to the Government challenges the at
tention of the civil service committees
to the interests of the Government In
retirement legislation. This proposition
should be included in any bill that is
finally agreed upon, and should, have
the hearty support of all who consider
the interests OF the Federal service TO
be at least equal to those of the ena-
pioyes. THOMAS CARLISLE.

L0UGHRAN BEATS
 KING LEVINSKY
Former Champion Gives Fish
 P0ddIer a Boxing Lesson

Chicago, Nov 70 tP,-If it's box ing lessons King Levinsky needs, he has been accommodated in lavish fashion by Tommy Loughran of Philadelphia. former light heavy weight champion of the world, and now a seeker Of heavyweight honor4.
 Loughran. one of the finest box CTS in the trade. turned loose all hls skill and ring cunning last night in the stadium to outpoint the former fish peddler Of Chicago's west side, in ten rounds-even after being on the end Of one of the kings failing right swings that dropped him for q count Of nine in the second round.
 Like Jimmy Slattery, who lost an unpopular decision to LeVinsky two weeks ago. Loughran banged his left hand into the kings face with almost monotonous regularity. He even went so far as to mix it with Lcvinsky at times. something that was supposed to be extremely dan gerous, and he did it with outstand- ing success. Levinsky's nose was badly swollen at the finish and his whole face bore signs of Loughran' ; marksmanship,
 The King. however. was just as colorful as ever. The dynamite was either cooked, or on it's way through out the fight and his unorthodoN style kept the crowd Of 14,42S well supplied with excitement, as well aa ] occasionally puzzling Loughran. The latter however. simply tied the King up and held him whenever he threatened 10 get out of hand. Tn receipts for the show were s39,092.- 56. a little shy of the figure set in Levinsky's fight with Slattery.

 SEVERE BEATING
Billy Petrole Eaters Irishman
 UnInerciiully in Bout

New York. Nov. % P-Billy Petrole, of Fargo, after a years vocation from the ring exploded the myth of Jimmy McLarnins invinci- bility in Madison Square Garden last night giving the Vancouver Irish nan what probably was the worst beating Of his career.
 A crowd of 12.5OU looked on in amazement as Petrolle tore into Me Larnin at the opening bell, battered h,m badly in the first three rounds, floored him twice for counts of nine in the fourth round, and then coast ec into an easily decision victory. McLarnin, a 4 to 1 favorite al, week and to 1 choice at ring time, rapped Petrolle's chin with all the strength in his powerful arms with out ever succeeding in doing any more than temporarily halting the Fargo boys dogged rushes.
 Petrolle was one of the country ; Outstanding lightweights several years ago. Then he began to slip and finally decided to take years vaca- tion from the ring. When he came out of his retirement a few months ago he had recovered the fighting form that had made him so feared as an opponent He belted Tony Canzoneri into decisive defeat at Chicago and then dropped hair line decision to Jack (kid) Berg, the English whirlWind.
 Then he got the "shot' with Me Ldrnin but was given little, or nc chance. of beating the Vancouver Irishman who has Waded through all sorts Of opposition without a setback since the night, more thar two years ago, when Sammy Man dell, then lightweight champion, cut him to pieces.
 But Petrolle was not 10 be daunted by another mans reputation. He ha- to be shown, He waded into Me Larnin from start to finish lasI night, took everything the lrishmaf had to offer. and used a sweeping left hook 10 such advantage tha NcLarnin constantly was in dangcl ! Of a knockout.
 McLarnin gave q magnificent dis | play of courage. especially in tn | fourth round. when Petrolle caugh him flush on the jaw with a loopln: left hook Jimmy crumpled 10 tn 1 floor but got up at nine. only t' | nect another left that sent him t. | the canvas again for similar count 1 Try as he might. Petrolle could no | finish the Vancouver Celt and at tn end of the round the Fargo slugge
 was arm weary. while McLarnin ha l shaken off the effects Of the terrifi
 punches and was coming strong.
 Thereafter Jimmy took so muci punishment that the crowd yelled fo
 the referee 10 stop the slaughter ! Jimmy rallied to take the fifth an ninth rounds but Petrolle's power

 really appeared dangerous.
