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

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

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.

That shows you have made an
