Our shipping industry is in the

no inducement to American capital

this is changed, the American flag

A BIBLICAL LESSON
1
Do our zealous prohibitionists and
Other holler than thou folk, who are at
ways trying to abolish sin by the de
cree, "thou shalt not," overlook the
fact that It was that very decree It
self that Introduced sin into the world?
When the notice was hung upon the
tree In the Garden of Eden, "thou
shalt not sat of this fruit," we know
what effect St had upon our dear old
mothor Ere. Had It not been for the
Ism and the deoree, the chances are
that she would have had no desire to
partake of the fruit, aid the world
would be without sin, oven unto this
day. British Columbia lederationlst.

co will neve attain maritime supre
macy so long as we permit the
stranger to own and operate the
great bulk of overseas shipping.
It says the Bay has now great
Shipbuilding plants that can turn
out a 10,000 ton (Jilp in sixteen days
but they are building them, all for
foreign shipping firms.
It asks why are not American cap
italists arranging to carry our flag
and our commerce overseas, and
why; they are not alive to the oppor
tunltles of overseas commerce.
It shows how Japanese are grabb
ling the trade between the Pacific
Coast end the Orient, and how San
Francisco Chinese are maintain
ing the American flag on the Paci
flc.
It shows how not a merchant ves
sel sails from the Philippines under
the American flag, and how Holland
Shipping has taken the trade from
oiul ports that formerly went to the
East Indies.
There was never a better demon
tratlon of the value to our country
of direct steamship communication
to say nothing of money paid for
freight going and coming Is paid to
foreigners'.
The1 Examiner says It is complain-
ted that our laws do not favor up-
bulldlng.of an American merchant ma
rlne, and that our laws are less fair
'and that we are farbehlnd even lit
tle New Zealand.
Capital is here in great abundance
tor Investment, but it will not go In
to building Amerlcan-owend ships be
cause they cannot compete with
shipping of other countries under our
laws.
The LaFollette law drawn up by
President Fureseth of the Seamens
unions, and president Gompers of th
Labor unlonsi, and put over for the
purpose of catching the labor vote
for Congress is doing the trick
What show will our country stand
gaining its share of commerce of the
(world against countries where gov
ernment encourages capital to go
Into ownership of overseas shipping.
We are nobly trying to lift by legis-
flation the standards! of wages and
employment of men to man our ship
And regulate capital htat goes into
them, but the rest of the world will
be slow to accept.
In the meantime, American busi
ness men would be foolish to put
their money into shipping enterprises
in open competit'on they are not per
mitted to meet by the laws of their
ownj country, and we will have no
overseas shipping to speak of, and
the American flag will disappear fior
the seven seas and is not even
re-pacted by all labor unions.

The Desver Tomt tells, la the follow
ing fashion, of the difficulty Colorado
Is having in enforcing her prohibition
lit:
From oas end of Colorado to the oth
er there are more than a thousand sa
loons, eaoh doing a lively business, not
only every week, but on Sunday also.
They pay no license, either govern
ment, state or city, and every cent
they charge over the cost of the rot
ten whisky they sell is clear profit, so-
oording to Robert H. Kane, deputy dis
trict attorney, who Is designated by
District Attorney Rush to try liquor
cssss in the county oourt.
1,000 aleene en Wheels.
According to Kane, these saloons are
automobiles, but saloons, nevertheless.
They are operating in all parts of the
state, " said Kane. "In most counties
the authorities are doing all they can
to suppress the business, but are not
able to do so. These automobiles brine
boose from Wyoming, Nebraska, New
Mexico and Utah, whichever state
happens to be the neareit. Some of
them operate as common carriers and
make a pretense of obeying the prohi
bition law, but none of them that I
have heard of do obey the law.
"It Is only a pretense. They take
orders from their customers, then
cross the border, buy the liquor and
return with it and deliver It to their
patrons, charging a large profit os
each package. The charge Is ostensi
bly a oharge for hauling.
"The customer will order, say two
quarts of whisky. The saloon on
wheels will take that order and many
others and go to Cheyenne, for In
stance, buy the two quarts of whisky
for $3, bring it to Denver, where the
customer lives, and charge him $4 for
It, making a profit of $1 on the deal.
If officers attempt to arrest the owner
of the saloon on wheels he will ssv
that he charged the $1 for hauling the
liquor to Denver.
Violate the Law.
The law which requires that an affi
davit shall be sworn to by each pur
chaser of liquor which is imported Into
this state that the stuff Is for his own
personal use Is constantly violated by
tnese automobile saloons. Also th
tax of 25 cents on each package of
whisky imported into the state is sel
dom paid.

enormous. One wholesale bootlegger
