Flying the stars and Mrlpes the fteamshlp Klmonte recently entered the port of Bremen with Itertortng (000 bales of cotton for The Majr. the Germans. It Is sa'.d to have been the firxt time In 40 years that a steamer flying our flag entered the port of Bremen The Incident gives a graphic illus tration of how sadly our merchant marine has dwindled away. Busy getting rich behind a tariff wall at home or in exploiting our great natur. at resources our captains of industry have neglected a rich field. But it has not been their fault entirely be cause foreign governments have aid ed In keeping up their merchant ships. The administration now proposes to meet the situation by doing the same thing and doing it better. In stead of giving subsidies It is planned to buy ships outright and operate them as a government affair. In that way no private concerns will be en riched at the expense of the general public and shippers will be guaran teed freedom from hold up rates.

Dr. James Withycombe, Is now gov ernor of Oregon and he Is a good man He desires to make -Governor pood governor and to Wlthrcombe. that end he has the best wishes of the East Oresronian which paper opposed him and liffers with the governor upon some important subjects, yet has faith In the integrity and high personal character of the new man In the state house. What the next four years will bring forth remains to be seen The governorchlp is not an easy po sition If the occupant takes his du ties seriously. It may be suspected that a governor has need of a discern Ing eye and a firm baekbone. This xeems particularly true when a man'i party la wholly In control of affairs and therefore the tendency to go with th current is unusually strong. The bift wish this paper has for Dr. Wlthvrnmbe is that he will be the captain In reality as well as in name and that he will be able to guide not no much by the Immediate scenery as by that compass which points the way to self renpect. A man w ho does that never fails. A man named Schuyler has just been liberated from the penitentiary of New Jersey rnmrtaln Business, after having been confined for several years. He had been sent up for 'murder and after having been convicted and held In prison for the hov mentioned time another man -ame forward and confessed he com mitted the crime for whjch Echuyler had been punched. The story was oredited and Schuyler released. . But while his name Is now cleared the law will never give him recompense for the Injury inflicted upon him. He spent all of his money upon his de fense and passed seven of the best years of his life In prison. The case illustrates the uncertain ties connected with th administra tion of Justice. At times It is very hard to get the truth. As a rule the right men are convicted but not aj ways. Frequently a guilty man will o scot free. At another time a per fectly innocent muD may be caught in a net of circuint-tanccs and be pun It hed tin justly. This can easily be done if there is a motive for such ac- The nomination of Ewing C.

Senators Reed and O'Gorman, who have led the democratic opposition to the president, led the fight for the senatorial right to dictate appoint ments. Appointment with the consent of the senate now mean appointment under the direction of the senator In w hose preserves the office lies. The senatorial courtesy which Sena tor Reed Invoked always works one way. The president courteously yield ed to Senator Reed's persistent soli tation for the appointment of his can- didate for the postmastership of St Louis, which was under heavy pro test, but courtesy for the president or consideration for his Judgment is not in the Reed-O'Gorman bookof sena torial etiquette. Decency would in terfere With that despotic control of patronage which is the chief end of the patronage machine senator. Democratic senators who block the administration and rebuke the presi dent on account of patronage may think there is political profit In the game, but we doubt it. It has yet to be demonstrated by the people to whom senators are now .answerable at the polls. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. 1 '; : , - vy :''Vv;:'Tr": Claude llondri.

There seem to be some rather small potatoes among the politicians of Salem. The May weather Is "beautiful rather out of season. but The news from Petrograd Is always cheerful. The harmony dnnce is on. The following editerial advice to the railroads, given by the San Fran cisco Examiner, Is of Build up decided Interest: Th Interior. Vice P r e s 1 dent Chambers of the Santa Fe complains that the shippers of California are "obsessed" with a mania for shipping by ocean-going vessels. Mr. Chambers is experienced en ough in the ways of shippers to know that there is no sentiment in sending goods to market. They will always go by the cheapest route. If the steamships are taking away the railroads transcontinental freight it is because the steamships make lower rates. It seems to us that there Is only one reply to be made by the railroads. That Is the upbuilding of Interior cit ies by the moBt favorable terminal rates permitted. Thus the railroads would create a new series of hauls from either coast The railroads have built up the sea port terminals, by favorable trans continental rates, at the expense of Interior points. These rates were fix ed in order to keep steamship compe tition at a minimum. The Panama canal has made possible steamship competition which cannot be under bid by the railroads, and they now have neither the volume of transcon tinental hauls they had nor the vol ume of interior hauls they might have had. Neither legislation nor tariff rates can long make headway against eco nomic laws. The transcontinental hauls to seaports will decrease in spite f anything that can be' done. And the railroads. It would seem, might as well at once begin the work of build ing up a line of Interior terminals and so create new business and new profits In that direction. Borne of our leglnlators who start the present session with loud crle bout economy were active two years ago in voting to rairroaa an mnu.i CURRENT THINKING I.VSUtAXCK VS. CREDIT. A. Barton Hepburn, chairman of fhe board of directors of the great Chase National Bank of New York, recently delivered an address on life Insurance and Its relation to the fl nanclal credit of the Insured. Am ong other things he said the follow ing; which is well worth the atten tion of every individual In the coun try: "There is another feature of life Insurance about which I would like to speak, and on which I would lay much emphasis, because I feel that It has not been fully appreciated hardly know what to call It, unions It be the phychologlcal significance of life Insurance as it should be view ed from a creditor's standpoint. "When it comes to extending cred it, the average business man does not, perhaps, have In mind any set of rules or formulae. He does not attempt to analyze and catalogue the qualities the applicants should pos sess, as a- basis for the credit the; ask. He reaches a conclusion by the short cut to which he Is accustomed viz: the man s manner, appearance reputation, financial standing, and somewhat by his words and prom Ifles. He should in some way, either general or specific, by inquiry or In tuition, seek and obtain answers to a number of questions such as these: "Has the man ability, self-control prudence and forethought? Is he cautious, frugal and normal in his habits of life Has ' he a sense of justice and a proper regard for the rights of others? Is he accumstcmed to assume responsibility, and does he understand the need for being prepared to meet emergencies? Is he home-tlovlng, industrious and mindful of duty? Is he progressive, and likely, therefore, to keep pace with his competitors? Does he know how to get money's worth for money expended? Is he fickle and erratic, or are his habits fixed and his pur poses In life well-defined. Has he Integrity and reputation and ' does he cherlflh his standing among his fellowmen? Is he selfish and self centered, or does he think of others and especially of wife, children and those who may be dependent upon him? "Surely It will require no argument before a group of life Insurance ex perts to prove that a careful and de rilled iniu'ry as to th life Insurance a man carries would shed light upon each of the questions I have attempt ed to formulate and to which many others of similar Import might well be added. Suppose for example, in seeking Information to a man's fore thought, prudence, caution, frugality, unselfishness, reliability and other qualities which go to make up high character and good repute, we should ask how much life Insurance he car ries, of what kind and for how long has It been carried, in what compan les has it been taken out and Is It for the protection of the family or the business or both. Could we flno anywhere better evidence of the working of the man's mind, of his habit of life, of his sense of respon siblllty, and. In fact, of all those qualities upon which we must rely for fulfillment of promises so far a personality is concerned? "Of course, Inquiries concerning mans lire insurance will not answer nil the questions involved In the matter of extending credit, nor an of them conclusively, but I doubt if there is any one line of inquiry that could be made of a man who has reached middle agi-, after having been engaged in business for several years that would come as near showing both ability and di-terminatlon to meet obligations and keep promises. "The need for making such in quirios Is of growing importance. There was a time when It was the rule, even among conservative busl nr-ps men, to carry largely, If not entirely, risks of fire, accident and death, ngalnwt which today it Is al mot tho universal custom to insure Then a lack of life Insurance did not carry special significance. Now the failure of a man to take tlie precau tions which are commonly taken by his fellowmen is a fact of such im portance as to put the prospective creditor on notice, and call for care ful Inquiry as to why he thinks he can disregard what has come to be the common Judgment of mankind Or, to put it another way, the man a generation ago who carried life In surance of large amount was so ex ceptional as to excite Inquiry as to his reasons and motives for so do ing, while today it Is the man who thinks he can afford to do without life Insurance that Is subjected to in qulry. "Banks have long been accustomed to ask large borrowers for a state ment of the life Insurance they car ry, and It seems to .jne that commer clal agencies, like Dun's and Brad streets, should ask for similar Infor mation for use In reaching a conclu sion as to the credit-rating to which a man is entitled. Such Information Is certainly valuable contributory ew Idence." France In To Retaliate. PARIS, Jan. 11.

They made calls at five towns, robbed 18 places, terrorlxed the country folk and escaped with valuables worth between $2000 and 13000. At Flshdale, the first town they en tered, three stores were robbed. Far numvllle came next, and the New Haven railroad station safe there was blown open. Two stores were rob bed In IJlackstone and several stores In Whltlnvllle. Two safes were blown open In the car barn of tho street railway company In Uxbrldge.

Con stipation can be more effectively relieved without the discomfort and pain these old-time remedies occasion.
