TK KllVlKW Is entered nt post office In Portland, Oienon, as ninll twitter of the second cIass under the Act of Con ten of March j, 1879. Chairman Hurley of the Ship intr Hoard went to Europe to procure nn agreement of other nations to adopt the shipping laws of our country and adopt the American scale of wiikcs. In 1914 figures were complied by our government showing the cost of operating 3 ships of about Bamo horso power and tonnage, to ascertain the relative expense at sen. The American vessel under our laws was compelled to carry 47 men with n payroll of $3720 n month, the tiic English ship carried 2JG men and paid $1308 a month, the Japanese ship 3G men and paid $777 n month. The requirements of the La Follcttu Seaman's act reduced American tonnage on the Pacific ocean to less than one per cent in 1914, and increased the tonnage of Japan from 2(5 to over II fly pur cent. Hefore that law went into clFect we had the same tonnage on the Pacific as .lii"n. but the La Kollelte bill reduced ships carrying our (lag to n cy plicr and increased .Japan one hundred per cent. The L toilette law provides the men shall have half their reaching any port, and has been to increase and drunkenness and pay on the olfect desertion to leave American shifts in foreign ports unmanned. Another provision of the law is that 7f per cent o the crow must Do nine to speak the language or the ollieorn. am this works to favor foreigners for oflleorfl, as Americans wi not work in the engine tooms or the steward's department espec ally in the tropics. Under the operations of this law th United Slates will not be able to man or oporato its great Hoot of vchhoIh built durintr the war nm the other ileetof interned vessels taken from the Central Powers The law requires that (ifi per cent or tlio crew must Do certillei able seamen and belong to the Seaman's union and to en force that provision would loave three fourths of our shipping idle as;i painted snip on a painted ocean to quote Iho Ancient Mariner, The La hillotto act, instoad o being callod a measure to protec American seamen, should termed an act to uneouragu shipping undur foreign ling. racllic (Joust Alauiifacturur. St, Johns peoplo hnvo no mux to worry in the leant over comll- tions here. True it in that dur ing Huh present poriod of rucon Htruction and uncertainty in dustrial condition aro not what they had been, and tho future of the ship building IiiihIiiohh has not yet been dutorminod, but tho iiamo in true, and in most cases in farrreattr mouimre, or other places, llesides tho many industries we it ready possoHHod, during tho war poriod tho big ship plant, tho large iron workK at the root ot K eh- moml street, the Peninsula limns roundry, and sevural enlarge ments havo Ihhmi added to our industrial life. Besides the big now elevator system eonting nuout tnroo millions or dollars. which is a guarantee in itself of the stability and solidity of the bt. Johns district, the latest announcement is tho proponed placcmont ot the million dollar dry dock of 12,f00 capacity at tho elevator site. This will also mean no doubt that a complete outfitting plant and machine shops will be added, as w ell as coal bunkers, So there is much to encourage. Conditions are no bettor elsewhere and certainly uowhoro can projects bo found more promising than here when tho great ora of prosperity that must soon spread throughout the country arrives. St. Johns is better prepared than ever to participate in it. Business in general has just slowed down to take a duep broath, and a month or two more will, from all in- dicat ions, und it nunc hinir out and humming to a greater degree than ever before. Down with pessimism! Tho needs of the hour are vision and courage. An'orican genius will master the problems of the pro sent as it has those of past. Neither our extraordinary bur dens abroad nor at home shall daunt us nor shall the threat of Bolshevism and tho mob divert us from our true course. The reign of American reason, justice and liberty has been strougtlion ed, not weakened, by our trials. Nover lias tho heart of our peo ple boon so deeply stirred with a love of country, justice and humanity as it is today. Never, as a people, have wo boon so capable, so surely masters of our selves and of our destinies as we are at this moment. Americans do not gain their viow of tho futuro by peering through tiie "crack of doom." Thay know that tho distractions and dan gers of "putting our house in order" arc but temporary. Thoy look beyond and see the dawn of great daysdays of peace, pros perity and progress. American ism still stands for optimism. Pocatello Tribune. Siberia, that great lone land about which there is now bo much discussion, is so vast that the imagination can hardly grasp grasp its extent. A vagUO idea of its Bize may bo gainad from the statement that it is forty-in times us largo as tho British Isles, and contains nearly five million square miles. In all this enormous territory there is a popiilation not exceeding that of the City of New York. There arc hundreds of thousands of square miles tnac are enuraiy uninhabited, it is a land of mighty rivers, but the value of these rivers for purposes of nnvi- tuition is trreatly restricted, be- cause most of them flow into the Arctic Ocean and throughout thcy cou, (0 )y n pulling to their lower coiirses are ice-bound Kcther. Mr. T. J. Monahan made for tho greater part of the year. fl aunrt mil nn dnnit nrfrnnizntion The great steppes of Sibpria, now almost Uncultivated, nre destined, it is said, to bqcpme the granary of the world. Their development, begun with the oticnimr of tho Trans-Siberian railroad, has bcon interrupted by the wur. The entertainment given in the High School auditorium last r ri day evening for tho benefit of the Parents' Educational Bureau was quite u success, both from an entertainment standpoint und llnancially, about $5G having been netted. The program was an interesting one and enjoyed by the large attendance. It was as follows: Ju'cnllo Orchestra, High School quartet, Boy Scouts, Owaissa Camn-I'iro Girls, read ing by Mary Harris, violin solo by Melford Weslcder. nccompttn 1st, Miss Louise Lott; cartoonist, Ceorge Hulford; instrumental, Panuborn children: solo dance. Margaret Nolbrook; solo, "My Lover He Comes on ubki." Airs. (iiibrielj i'ullin, accompanist Miss Nettie Leona r-oy: rend lugs. Mrs. Geo. Hall: Juvenile orchestra, Mrs. F. A. Rice, lead or. The committco wishes to ex press their thaiiKS to every one wlio assisted on the program and to tho public for tho generous response which made the enter tainment a financial success. Much credit is duo the children for their helnfulncss on the nro gram and to tho Camp-Firoglrlj, also the Boy Scouts for tho .sale of the tickets. I f some wny you could arrange To live- several lives There might be some sense In trying to live tho present one Tho way others wish you to. But since tiiis is the only one That you aro certain about You must either live it your own way Or tho way others demand: You must bo yourself or some body e so. If you aro criticized harshly ror your methods, . Moves and Manners. That shows you have made an mprcsslon And you can be well pleased with yourself Provided you know the others are wrong.
