EMANCIPATE For more than a year foreign-built ships engaged in for
AMERICAN SHIPS eign trade and owned by American citizens have
been admissible to American register, but not one has taken advantage of
that privilege, says the Oregonian. Subsidy-seekers are scoffing and others
are asking the reason. Some shipowners and seamen are offering explanations.
They show that it is idle to admit foreign-built ships to American register un
less we set them free to operate as economically as foreign-owned ships. We
open the door to them, but pile obstructions in the entrance. They natural
ly look through the doorway and then turn aside.
Robert Dollar tells of some of these obstructions in the San Francisco
Daily Journal of Commerce. One is that American measurement of cargo
steamers is 30 per cent larger than foreign, proportionately increasing pay
ments for tonnage tax, dry-docking, pilotage, etc. Another is that American
law requires larger crews. On this coast steamers must carry four quarter
masters, while foreign vessels select from the crew men to do this work. In
the engine-room one extra engineer and three water-tenders are added,
though they "do nothing but draw pay they do not earn," as Mr. Dollar ex
presses it. The new laws adds an extra mate, and if the crew exceeds 50, a
wireless plant and two wireless operators. These extra hands, at the pres
ent scale of wages on the Pacific coast, add $8220 a year to the cost of oper
ating a steamer.
American requirements as to boiler inspection and life-saving equipment
are more expensive. At the expiration of each year American vessels are re
quired to stop for inspection at the first American port at which they call,
though they could save time and money both to themselves and the govern
ment by going to their home port. Foreign inspectors so arrange their work
as not to interfere with a ship's loading or discharging, while American in
spectors are not so considerate. The consequence is that, while in 1805 the
cost of operating an English ship was double that of operating an American
shjp, the tables have now been turned. Mr. Dollar states that the daily cost
of operating the British steamer M: S. Dollar, of 6600 tons, is $100.81,
while it costs $133.15 a day to operate the American steamer Grace Dollar,
of only 2300 tons.
Foreign ships could be deprived of much of their advantage over Ameri
lan ships were seamen relieved of the penalty of imprisonment for violation
. ol a purely civil contract of service. If a sailor deserts, he may be imprisoned,
though a landsman who quits his job in violation of a contract is subject only
to civil suit. Had a sailor in an American port the same freedom, foreign
ships plying to our ports would be compelled to pay American wages in order
to secure crews. Our sailors would become free and our ships would escape
one of the handicaps under which they labor.
The rich nations of Europe are those which carry the world's commerce
and levy tribute on other nations in the shape of freight money. Their ships
also build up their own commerce. The abundance or scarcity of ocean ton

A patriotic war to free kindred people from the intolerable oppression
of the Turks becomes a fratricidal strife in which over a. hundred thou
sand men were killed in three weeks over the division of the spoils, and
the atrocities perpetrated upon the inhabitants of the villages and the
farmers in the country have made by comparison almost an angel of the
"terrible Turk."

nage regulates the amount of this tribute
staple commodities they carry. The withdrawal from commerce of British
ships for service in the Boer War raised freights on the Pacific coast to such
a point that the farmers received 25 cents a bushel less than the year before.
Thus the farmers of the Pacific northwest indirectly contributed over
$4,000,000 to the expenses of the Boer War. We are dependent on foreign
nations for means of marketing our products abroad and if England and
Germany should engage in war, use of their ships as transports might send
freight to famine figures and leave our farmers with surplus crops on their
hands, because ships were not procurable. Hence the revival of the merchant
marine isa question which vitally concerns inhabitants of the interior, and not
merely those of the seaboard states.
Subsidies have proved a costly failure in restoring the merchant marine.
A discriminating duty on goods carried in foreign ships will not accomplish
our end. nnaDiing Americans to Duy snips n me cneapest mancer is not suni
cient, though it is a good beginning ; we must enable them to operate as cheap
ly as the foreigner. To do this we need but remove the existing restrictions
and put our ships on the same footing as foreign ships in all respects.

THE VALUE OF GOtfD TEMPER.
Reckon up your assets.
Health an wealth and family and
friends and work and position tf all
of these, or a majority of them, are
yours, you are a happy man or woman.
Stop a bit! There's another one
that is worthy of .inclusion in the list.
It is good temper.
With its aid all or most of the others
may be acquired. Without it they may
still be gained, but the process is made
unnecessarily long and hard.
How much, then, is your good tem
per worth to you? How much does its
absence cost you V
In New York city the other day a
sheriff's jury was called upon to esti
mate the value of good temper. The
case concerned a four-year-old girl who
was born with a sweet disposition. She
illustrated well the truth of the say
ing: "Every household ought to have a
continuous supply of three-year-old
girl babies." .
But alas for the continuance of her
charms! A careless person permitted
an ash can to slip and strike the child
on the head, and as a lesult her tem
per was ruined.
From being a "little angel" Mary
became "irritable and disobedient," so
her father said. And be sued for
damages. The jury awarded him $100.
- Not much, you say? So do others. "
To a lay observer not versed in the
ways and the intricacies of the law
and its methods of estimating the
value of personal characteristics it
seems that $100 is not much to pay
for the spoiling of a disposition. -
You and I know cases, do we not
in which parents would be willing to
pay many tfnies $100 to have the dis
positions or their children altered?
And we all can cite jnstances in which
parents would not aiiept 2 Pile of
$100 bills in exchange for tUe sweet
tempers of their children.
What about grownups? How meet)
is their good temper worth?
How much to themselves and otners?
To the business man. the lawyer, the
artisan, the physician, the newspaper
man. to all others who must rub el
bows daily with then-fellow men and
women, good temper is an asset of
inestimable value.
A hermit may be able to get along
without a sweet temper. But the
lack of it. in most eases. Is what makes
him a hermit.
If yu are not a" hermit and are
afflicted with a "grouch" got rid of It
It is a bad brake on your progress In
life.
THE TRUTH.
' Fear is not in the habit of speak-
ing truth. When perfect sincerity
is expected, perfect wisdom must be
allowed. Nor has any one who is
apt to be angry when he hears the'
truth any cause to wonder that he
does not hear it. Tacitus.

CONVICTS
BUILD ROADS.
Colorado Prisoners Have Constructed
Most Beautiful Drive.
Colorado convicts have worked the
roads of that state; with much success.
Thomas j. Ryan, a new warden of the
penitentiary, has started many prison
reforms in that state, one of which is
the placing of many prisoners in
camps and working them on roads.
Harper's Weekly says of this work:
The convict road camps are the
pride of Tom Ryan's heart. He be
lieves that convict labor is going to
solve the road problem of the nation.
Furthermore, he is proving his theories
in practice. Canon City convicts have
built some of the finest highways in
the world, including the celebrated
"sky line drive," extending along a "hog
back" 800 feet above the Arkansas val
ley and offering a superb view on both
sides. At present a big road gang of
trusties is putting the finishing touches
"sky line dkive" at CANOS CITY, COLO.,
BUILT BY CONVICTS. .
to a magnificent mountain highway
near Trinidad, Another gang has lust
completed a perfect boulevard con
necting Canon City and Colorado
Springs. It was opened with impres
sive ceremonies by tne governor and
other jubilant cMzens of Colorado. -
At present many convicts are em
ployed on a cen!c highway from Ca
non City to the top of the Royal gorge.
?sarly every foot of this eight miles of
mountain road is being blasted out of
solid rock. The road sweeps in majes
tic curves around the eternal hills, and
every one of the countless arroyos dry
and harmless look.itis; in summer, but
bank full and dangerous ji the spring
is bridged with a wide, arched culvert
"of stone. The highway winds upward
in a series of easy grade, most of
which can be taken by an automobile
on "high gear," and when the road is
completed the eight mile run from
Canon City to. the very brink of the
2,000 foot gorge will be a matter of
ease.
