A year ago when the ship subsidy idea was being agitated we declared j against it, believing that it would not benefit the country at large but only a few wealthy men. Since that time, however, we have studied the question more closely and, after hearing Mr. Watson's able address concerning ship subsidy and the good it would do the entire country, are convinced that it will prove a real benefit for the United States. It was rather hard, however, at first to see
why a nation as rich and powerful fight for the nomination. It is curand progressive as the United States j rently reported that Tom Taggart and should have to provide a subsidy in his friends will short-circuit Brother . . , , . Kuhn, but there is nothing that points
oruer u ouuun a. mt?i cimui uianuc "Worthy the name. One of the chief reasons why Americans hesitate to build ships to run in competition to German or English ships is on account of the differlnce in the cost of labor. The American j laborer receives practically twice as i much for his work in building a ship as does the German or English laborer. And labor, as everyone well knows, is the most important and expensive consideration entering into the construction of a ship. Therefore, the American who builds a ship to compete with German or English ship owners 13 handicapped from the start by the relatively larger investment he must make. Added to this is the ship subsidy the German and English governments pay their ship owners. These two considerations make It practically impossible for the American ship owner to compete on a money making basis and without that there Is no inducement to any man to Invest his money. Just why the American ship owner
can not compete on a money making Christopher used to be sheriff of Henbasis Is readily understood. It costs rv county. Now he is county chair-
him more to build a ship and he receives no subsidy. The German and English ship owner can compete for freight on a lower basis because, having a ship subsidy, he can lower his freight rates below a money making point and still make money on ac-, count of his subsidy. Another consideration is that after the ship Is in , running order the German and English ship owner still enjoys an added advantage. He has cheaper labor to run his ship, American sailors being better paid than their European ; brethern. Taking these things into consideration it is easily seen that if this country wants a merchant marine it will have to provide a ship subsidy in order to enable American ship owners to compete on a money making basis with their European competitors. Of course the point that settles whether or not the United States should provide for a ship subsidy is whether or not we should have a merchant marine. Whether a merchant marine will be a benefit to the country. We believe it will and think an incident that happened to a Richmond manufacturing firm will prove us correct. Gaar, Scott & Co. a year or so ago had occasion to ship some threshing machinery to the Argentine Rcpub-
He. As there were no American ship- He was loath to talk politics when that ' ping lines to that country the ship- s"bject s, suggested, but gave assurance that he would make a statement had to be made via Liverpool on j ment of his position Gn state affairs an English line. The shipment was iU the near future.

exporter Is given first consideration With the granting of a ship subsidy, however, should come a change in our consular service. Our consuls abroad at present are enjoying their positions simply as rewards for political work la the past. Such Qualifications as familiarity with the language of the country to which they have been appointed, or possession of sufficient judgment to enable them to make such reports as will be a help to the exporters of this country in developing their foreign markets were not considered. The appointments were, as we said before, made simply as rewards for political work for one or
the other of our great parties. Until this is remedied the American exporter will always be under a handicap as compared to his German or English competitor. The consuls of these countries are trained men who are sent out in the Interests of the commercial welfare of their countries. With a change in the consular department, putting it in a condition to best aid the business interests of the country, besides building up an American merchant marine to carry American goods by the aid of a ship subsidy, we believe the country will be Immeasurably benefited. Our foreign markets will be greatly amplified and will afford increased consumption for our constantly increasing manufactured and agricultural products. Under these conditions we can noc be otherwise than in favor of a ship subsidy. As to what kind of a ship subsidy, in what manner it will be paid and on what basis, much time and much thought will be required to de-
termine a satisfactory answer Political Gossip. PUTS UP PRETTY FIGHT. (Blodgett in the News.) The Rev. Thomas II. Kuhn, of Richmond, who came within a nose of winning the congressional race against James E. Watson, has already been in dorsed by the Democrats of the Sixth district and it putting up a pietty that way yet. LANDIS FOR CONGRESS. Indianapolis, Oct. 16 In order that there may be no doubt among his folJq comln? campaigTlf Con,ress. man Charles B. Landis of Delphi has informed them in a short public statement that he does not intend to make the race for governor. He is a candidate for renomination for congress. TAGGART TO RETIRE. Indianapolis, Oct. 16 One of Na tional Chairman Taggart's most intito(Jay thafc befor(j the flrgt Qf nexfc year Mr. Taggart will publicly announce his retirement as the leader of the Democratic party in Indiana. He will not retire from politics, but will take his place in the ranks, according to the declaration of his friend. He said that Mr. Taggart's mind is fully made up and that he has no intention whatever of being a candidate for re-election as national committeeman. WORKING FOR BARNARD. Charley Christopher, with his big white hat, that makes him resemble a Western sheriff, is in town. Mr. man and his one mission in life is to make W. O. Barnard, of New Castle, a member of Congress from the Sixth district. "To be sure," said Mr. Christopher, "one can not tell what will happen in politics, but to me it looks as if Barn avc will trot the nomination. Everv Qne over 'our way ls worUmg mighty hard to that end." Blodgett in Indianapolis News. Illustrating the strange power of the imagination. E. F. Benson, author f "Dodo" tells this incident: A doctor he knew had found it necessary to give a patient for many evenings an injec tion of morphia to enable him to get some sleep. After a while the doctor thought it advisable to stop the morphia, and for two nights his patient was unable to sleep, owing to great pain. On the third night the doctor being still unwilling to administer morphia, injected plain water instead. The man slept perfectly and awoke in the morning with what is known as a morphine mouth. KUHN W1LLSPEAK SOON Will Make Plain His Stand in Political Way. The Rev. T. H. Kuhn returned Tuesday evening from New Lisbon, Ind., where he is holding a revival meeting. At Jersitz, Prussia, where a battalion of infantry is stationed, one of the men had visited a restaurant in town pronounced Berlin dialect "That is the thief." The man was at once marched off in custody. NEVER HUNGRY When you eat Grape-Nuts food as a regular part of meals. It gives strength and endurance. Try it. "There's a Reason"
STATIONS ARE PUT OK B-HOUR BASIS
Recent Act of the State Legislature Is Being Complied With. SCHOOL IS ESTABLISHED. BUSINESS FOR THE HOMESEEKERS' EXCURSION WAS NOT HEAVY HERE OTHER NEWS OF THE RAILROADS. Several stations along the Richmond and other divisions of the Pennsylvania have been nut on the eight hour basis as provided for in a recent act of. the state legislature making it obligatory upon the railroads that all telegraph operators work but eight hours out of the twenty-four. Of course the law does not go into effect until March 1. 1008, of next year, but since it is impossible to make changes all at once owing to the' great Increase in the working force made necessary by the shorter shifts it has been the policy of the roads to bring the new condition about gradually. The Pennsyvania has already established a school for the express purpose of instructing men in the mysteries of the craft in order that when the time comes when the increase must be made there will be no dearth of material. The school has been put under the charge of competent telegraphers and the graduates will be able to take positions on the road and perform the duties devolving upon them as readily as the ones that have learned the basiness by several years' study and practice. The idea the lawmakers had in shortening the working hours to eight was that the men would be more capable of giving the work their best efforts than if, as at present is the case, they were compelled to spend twelve hours in the office. LITTLE WAS DONE HERE. Tuesday was homeseekers' day on the local railroads and a good business was done from towns surrounding Richmond, although but little was done here. The homeseekers' excursions will not be largely patronized until the latter part of November. PENN. SAYS NOTHING. Following the policy long since adopted, when questions in which the road is directly interested are concerned and when adverse action is contemplated, the Pennsylvania is saying nothing in regard to the freight interchange in this city. The Pennsylvania has until December 1 to either comply with the ruling of the Indiana railroad commission or appeal from the decision of that body. Local officials cannct be induced to part with information as to what action the big corporation will take on the matter, simply stating that the whole proposition is up to the general officers in Pittsburg. Probably the visit of the many moguls of the Pennsylvania system to Richmond Monday, may aid In the early compliance with the railroad commission's ruling. It is not thought locally that the commission's decisions will in any way be changed by either of the higher courts. MADE ANOTHER RECORD. The Pennsylvania people say their New York limited made another record last Sunday, when the train ! reached A'.toona thirty-five minutes l Into nnH fhft im it- -, c mnlA 1 . .-. . " ' v v . i 1 1 1 v . i.ao 1 1 1 1 1 u u j i i j v tween that city and Pittsburg. When it is considered that the average speed of the limited is the fastest of any train on the road, it is evident that when it starts to make up time it goes some. The trainmen state that it was the fastest ride they ever experienced over that road, a speed of eighty-five miles an hour being reached for some distance. OUTSIDE THE CORPORATION. A few days ago the Pennsylvania railroad received a note stating that an early order for 190S delivered rails would be appreciated. A secret is made no longer of the fact that the Pennsylvania railroad has been receiving , figures from railmakers outside the corporation which sent the letter and while the Pennsylvania officers deny that they pre even considering a possibility of changing railmakers the fact remains that outside interests are submitting figures. VETERANS RETIRED. Five veteran employes of the Pittsburg division of the Pennsylvania railroad have been retired on a pension since the first of the month, and most of them are allowed Carnegie j pensions, which will keep them in comfortable circumstances the rest of their lives. GROVER BOWMAN INJURED. Grover Bowman, passenger fireman ; on the C, C. & L. was injured badly j about the leg near Amboy while mak- ! ing a run from Cincinnati to rent. It is considered a miracle that Powman was not killed, according to the stories of the affair reaching this city. The train on which he was working was going about twenty-five miles an hour through Amboy, when Bowman stepped into the gangway to pick up something. In stooping over one of his legs struck a cattle guard with terrible force, only by a miracle leaving him In the engine. An investigation proved that a bad gash several inches long had been cut in his leg and the ankle badly sprained. C. C.

The Canaques of New Guinea prefer for defense clubs made of hard wood, highly polished, and ending in curious or artistic forms. Sometimes these bludgeons are made of stone strengthened with wood in an ingenious way. A hole is drilled in a stone shaft and through it is pushed a small branch of a growing banyan tree. In a year or two this branch is cut off. By this time the wood has grown until it is a tight fit for its stone case, and the club has become a formidable head-breaker.

BIG FIGHT IS HOW II SIGHTIT SEEMS Indiana Manufacturers and Shippers' Association Is Ready for War.
RAILROADS ARE "IN BAD." SHIPPERS ARE LOOKING FOR A MAN WITH A GRIEVANCE TO CARRY THE WAR INTO AFRICA ATTITUDE OF RAILROADS. Indianapolis, Oct. 10. The Indiana Manufacturers' and Shippers' association, including in its membership practically all the big manufacturers of the state, is looking for trouble. It is v?eking a member witn a grievance that it may take up the grievance and 'hereby start something with the railroads. The association wishes to bevjme the aggressor in a healthy fight T.n this way, it is thought, certain re forms may be brought about, for the association is confident that it will be victor in any trouble that may be started by it. For mouths and months shippers in Indiana have been greatly inconvenienced by delay of shipments in interstate traffic, over which the railroad commission has no control. Relief seems impossible under existing rules and statutes. Every time a shipper complains he is met by the retort from tue railroads "Well, if you are damaged, why don't you look to the courts for redress V This retort has been made so frequently and so insolently, the shippers think, that they are now seeking an opportunity to appeal to the courts. To do this the association of shipers wishes to take up the complaint of some member who has suffered. Specific instances of delay causing inconvenience and annoyance are being asked for. These cases when they are submitted, will be gone over by the attorney for the association, and the best ones selected on which to base suits. Cremation makes great headway in the Alps.
