No Steamers to South America.
The facts set forth by Mr. Root are strlk
Inir and cannot but arrest the attention of
our people. The great continent to the
ninth ot us, which should be knit to us by
the closest commercial ties, Is hardly In
direct commercial communication with, ub
at all its commercial relations being- al
most exclusively with. Europe. Between all
the principal South American ports and
Europe, lines of swift and commodious
steamers, subsidized by their home govern
ments, ply rcKularly. There Is no such line
of steamers between these ports and the
Vntted States. In consequence our shipping
In South American ports 1b almost a nes-
lifiihlo quantity; for instance, In the year
enillnc June .10. 1005. there entered the port
or Kio de Janeiro over 3000 steamer, and
KAlllnR vessels from Europe, but from the
1 nitert States no steamers and only seven
sailing vessels, two ot which were In dis
tress. One urlme reason fur this state ot
things Is the fact that those who now do
huKlncBB irpon the sea do business In a
world. not of natural competition, but of
subsidized competition.
Subsidies by Oth?r Nations.

prppofffl legislation, the United, states will
ray relatively less than anyone of our rOVft-
pftltors. Three years agro the Trans-Mlw-I-x
i p-p i ConKrrns formally net forth a axiom
atic the Rtalernont that evry nhfrr is a ml-
fjtonary of trade, that steamship lines work
for thMr own countries just as railroad lines
work for their terminal point and that it is
at absurd for th t:Ited Statea to depend
upon foreign ships to distribute Its products
is it would bo for a department store
(Irpond upon wagons ot a competing house
to deliver Its goods. This statement Is the
literal truth.
.Maintain High Seamen's WagcR,
Moreover, it must be Tcmembered that
American ships do not nave to contend
merely atcalnst the subsidization or ineir
forelxn competitors. The higher wastes and
tli Rreater cost of maintenance and crews
make it almost impossible lor our people
who do business on the ocean to compete
on equal terms with foreign ships, unless
they are protected some wn at as tneir iei
low fniintrvmnn who rio business on land ari

to have Xta wages and the manner of life
of our seamen cut down, and the only al
ternative If we are to have seamen at all.

aa vantuK to tun snip ltsetr.
The proposed law which has been intro
duced In Conpress Is In no fion6e experi-
mental. It I s based on the best and most
successful precedent, as. for Instance, upon
tlie recent Cunard contract with the Brltlh
government. As tar as South America la
iHinofrnod. Its aim U to provide from the
Atlantic and Pacific Coasts better American
lines to tho arreat ports of South Amorlea
t ii an t ne present European lines. A r tnuin
A merlcan republics now see only our war-
ships. Under this bill our trade friendship
will be made evident to them.
Arguments for Subsidy.
The bill proposes to build large-sized
tti'umers of 16 knots speed. There are nearly
V such steamships already in the world's
f o r 1 r n trade and over three-fourths
them now draw subsidies postal or ad
miralty or both.
The bill will encourage our shipyards,
which are almost as necessary to the !"
tlonal defense, as battleships, and the effi
ciency of which depends In large meamiro
upon their steady employment in large con
struction. It is of importance to our Navy
because It elves a. considerable fleet of aux
iliary steamships such aa Is now almost
wholly iHi'klnc.
The bill provides for H steamships, sub
sidized to the extent of over $1,500,000, from
the Atlantic Coast, all to run to South
A merlcan ports. It provides upon- the Pa
citic t'oast for 22 steamers .utstdlzed to
the extent of $.!I2C0,000, some of these to
run to outh America, most of them to
Manila. Australia and Asia. Be it remem
bered that, while the ships will be owned
upon the Coast, the cargoes w'll be larsely
Mipplicd by the interior and that the bill
will benefit the Mississippi Valley as much
ap It benefits the seaboard.
I have laid stress upon the benent to be
expected from our trade with South Amer
ica. The lines to the Orient are also of
vital importance. The commercial possibili
ties of the Pacific are unlimited, and for
National reasons it is imperative that we
tshould have direct communication by Amer
ican lines with Hawaii and the Rhilioninen.
The existence of our present steamship
lines upon the FacMc is seriously threatened
vy tne loroign suhsiaized lines. Our com
munlcationa with the markets of Asia and
witn our own possessions in the Phllmnlnes.
no less than our communications u Itii a h.

universal finality is "I can't get the
right sort of girl; the best members of
the working class will not enter do

mills and factories instead.
In this last statement there Is much
explanati6n and no little pathos. As

caste. She is always entitled to the
distinction of "Miss" or 'Mrs," and

As a domestic she becomes merged into

ness drives her to the factories where

can't take time to amuse her," cries a
horrified housewife in reply to the
suggestion that her maid needs a little
bit of company and more cheerful sur
roundings. Possibly not, but she might
devise some way of making life a little

Can. "MiLta da Reindeer.
There are many good stories which
illustrate the grievous state to which,
the abuse of the servant Question baa
brought us, and others which, show
why people with common sense and
some of the milk of human kindness In
their get-up manage to keep good do
mestics when they get them. A New
York woman who had applied to an
intelligence office, was furnished with
a giantess who had just arrived from
Finland. The mistress began asking
the customary Questions: "Can you
cook?" "Nar," said. Miss Finn. "Can you
wash an4 iron!" "sNar," "Can you
sweep and dustt" 'Nar.,. "Then in
pity's name what can you do? asked
the lady in desperation. A gleam of
pleasure passed over Miss Finn's face
at the thought of her one accomplish

A Southern housewife tells about her

taste for work. When asked what she

logarithms; also cooking, cleaning
and serving." When serving time ar

servant moved into a fashionable
community, and got talked about by
her neighbors for a strange reason.
Tbe 1 awn -was moistened by means of
a circular sprinkler which had to be
moved occasionally. During the In-
tervals Mary would sit on the front
ps and read the evening paper. Jn
the course of time it came to the ear a
ot the mlstreBS that her neighbors
were saying she certainly could not be
polite else sbe would not allow her
servant so much liberty. -When an
acquaintance asked the newcomer
what she thought about the criticism,
she replied that after thinking; the
matter over. she had , decided that
Mary wouldn't hurt the steps." This
woman was a strict disciplinarian, but
a just one. She was too fair-minded
to hurt the feelings of her domestic
over an inconsequential matter, even
though she herself appeared in a false
light in the eyes of her snobbish
neighbors. She demanded faithful,
conscientious service, and In return
gave good pay and considerate treat
ment. In all the years of her lonir
life this old-fashioned gentlewoman
was never bothered with the servant
question. I know this to be true be
cause sbe was my mother.
The State of Nevada has only 4931
servants, and the women In this, as
well as many other Western states, are
solving the Question by doing most of
their work themselves. The Western
woman is an example of independence
and courage where the servant prob
lem is concerned. . Sbe rinds 'that in
order to promote the cjreneral welfore
for her family she must depend upon
her own efforts and the help at her
daughters. She usually manages to
bave a most homelike home, a most
attractive table, and a most cultured
family.
Miss Jane Addams. of Hull House
fame, says that before the servant
question can reach any kind of solu
tion, the housewives must themselves
learn to do much of the light work In
their homes, and - put out most of the
heavy tasks. Professor Lucy balmon
of the faculty of Vassar College, who
has made a deep study of the question
says: "It is inevitable that eventually
all articl.es of food will be prepared
outside the house, except those re
quiring the last application of heat,
and that scientific skill will reduce to
a minimum the labor and expense of
this final stage of preparation.'
