the Senator would, by parity of reas
oning, reach the conclusion that no
goods of any character should be sent
to a belligerent power.
Mr. WORKS. Not at all, Mr,
President.
Mr. REED. That must be true,
and if true it follows that our entire
foreign trade should be wiped out at
once; that this country should suffer
all the disasters of a war, for which it
was in no way responsible, except the
loss of the lives of its citizens. En
force such a doctrine and the price of
every horse and mule in America will
fall to about 50 per cent of its value;
likewise cattle and hogs will go to
about 50 per cent of their value. All
the products of our farms and mines
and factories will go to about 50 per
cent of their value, and this country
will be engulfed in a financial and in
dustrial catastrophe such as the world
has ever seen. All this the Senator
would have our country suffer on ac
count of a war that we prayed would
never be begun, which we pray may
be speedily ended, and for which we

Japanese Invents Direct Control
Big Vessels by One Man
Dr. K. Ito, manager of the engine
works of the Mitsu Bishi Dockyard
and Engine Works at Nagasaki, has
invented an apparatus for controlling
the movements of a ship directly from
the bridge. This invention is likely to
have the most far-reaching results
and will undoubtedly be adopted by
shipping companies in all parts of the
world. The device does away with the
necessity of telegraphing instructions
to the engine room. The new appar
atus, which enables the officer on the
bridge to regulate the valves or re
versing engines directly, can move the
ship at will in the time it usually
takes the engineer to receive thej
message by means ot the telegraph
indicator.
The new apparatus prevents the
possibility of ; misunderstanding and
error. In case of accident, disputes
frequently occur between the bridge
and the engine room as to the indica
tion of the engine telegraph. The de
vice may be used with great advantage
in foggy weather or in going in and
but of a harbor or in anchoring. The
greater mobility which a ship thus
attains will often enable it to avoid
a collision. The racing of propellers
in stormy weather frequently causes
great damage to the engines. This,
however, is avoided to a certain ex
tent by the new apparatus. The nav
igator can adjust the engines instant
ly before the big waves are encoun
tered.
The device is worked by electricity
and in case of any defeat it can easily
be detached and the engines worked
in the ordinary way. This change
does not require more than three or
four seconds. .
THEORY IS DOUBTED
Intermarriage of Pioneers Not Cause
of Degeneracy, Says Writer
Editorially recently the Courier ex
pressed the idea that certain forms of
insanity in Oregon might be caused
by the intermarriage of pioneer stock,
and the continual interbreedig of cer
tain families. Statistics in other sec
tions have shown that the continual
intermarriage of any certain set of
people led to a lack of intellectual
development. However, some mem
bers of pionerr families have taken
exception to the Courier's remarks,
and in deference to them the Courier
is glad to say that many pioneer fam
ilies are exceptionally free from taint
of any kind. Unfortunately, how
ever, all pioneer families and their de
scendants are not so well fixed, physic,
ally.
One of the letters received by the
Courier on this question is perhaps
typical of the general idea, and reads
as follows:
Editor, Courier: Degeneracy of the
Kemp variety may be caused by the
intermarriage of pioneer families, but
many of us who came from that
source will have to be shown more
plainly. We are Missourians from
Pike county as well as pioneers. It
seems strange the malady did not
show up until these later days when
the pioneer stock is nearly crowded
into the back alleys, or has so inter
married with the new importation as
to nearly lose its identity. Maybe
you are mistaken, and it is this last
mixture that has caused the trouble,
as you know the Indian mixture took
all the bad traits of both sides and
left most of the good ones out.
