It costs many times as much to get their wheat to Liverpool because ship owners have taken advantage of an abnormal situation to exact excessively abnormal profits. The American merchant marina fa of such negligible tonnage as to be practically non-existent. AH efforts to build it up have failed even to the re moval of restrictions aa to American register. Either government subsidy or government construction and owner ship seems now to be the only practi cable means of restoring our merchant shipping. Business judgment would indicate that it ia better for Uncle Sam to build, operate and control a merch ant marine than to subsidize private in teresta to the same end. There waa a time when he might better have kept his -land grants and built the great transcontinental railroads, although government ownership of railroads baa sines become almost a financial impos sibility. It'a far better, we think, that he should build and purchase ocean ear ners than to open the pork barrel for postoftlce buildings and obscure water ways, -v . The proposal then to devote the pro ceeds of the aale of 450,000,000 Panama canal bonds to the nucleus of a federal merchant marine, and to the creation of a federal shipping board, is there fore worthy of serious consideration on the part of Umatilla county formers. who have been gouged out of a million dollars or more on their 1915 crop by outrageous ocean freights. This borse is stolen, but they ean help lock the atable door against further thefts in future years. They should consider aUo that a naval auxiliary will be indis pensable should ever a time come for the United States to use ita warships, and that a naval auxiliary ia impossible without a merchant marine at the beck and call of the government. During the Spanish war a lot of old tuba ware C0UBXS or IOWA? j inai senator vummina win do (as aompromiae Republican candidate for president ia well witbia the bounda of probability. Ha ia edncedad the Iowa delation, haa, Uiruieaota practically in hi pocket and a ftmd chance to win ia Nebraska end the Dakotaa. The Old Guard Republicana want Root, but are standing pat no longar. They recognise the necessity of yield ing to the progressive element in th party, to whom Root's corporation re cord makes no appeal. The Old Guard will accept Cummina if need be not because they love hire more, but causa they love Wilson leaa. They are too desperately anxiooa to prise th Democrata away from the pie counter to be finicky in their choke of crowbar. Union of the Republican factions be hind a compromise candidate ao gener- rally acceptable aa Senator Cuaamina spells danger to President Wilaon. He deserves re-election, but in much leaa degree ia hia party entitled to further expression of the nation's confidence. Ita concern for the loaves and the flahee and ita predilection for the pork barrel are too strong for the stomach of the independent voter, in wboae banda will rest the balance of power. A leaa prudent and more brllicoae president than Wilaon audi a man Theodore Rooaevalt would long i this hsve plunged the United States into war with Germany over the Luai- tania tragedy. As it is, but a single word now stand between Germany and a complete acceptance of our adminis tration's view of international law, Another man would long 'ago. have flung our troops across the border Into Mexico and aaddled the United States with a perplexing and expensive losdcf responsibility.. As it la, Carransa bids fair to bring order out of chaoa in Mexico, with the accretion of no mora hatred toward the- "gringo" than ia natural And inevitable to the Mexican temperament. The administration banking law ia working out admirably. ita preparedness program ia sound and patriotic Wilaon, we aay, deserves to be president another four years. Nevertheless, should the Republicana unite upon Cummina or some other un objectionable candidate, Wilson's de feat la altogether probable. Hia elec tion was the result of political acci dent. His retirement, if encompassed. will b due . to political design the scheming of the Old . Guard which knowa how and when to eat "humble pie" if such a diet ia indicated. 4 Since Germany ta prepared to comply with the aubstance of his demands and to safeguard In future the Uvea of hla rationale upon the high eeea, the form of her compliance la Immaterial.
