Noting the report that 8ir Thomas Upton has been
blackballed by the Royal Yacht Club, the Pittsburg Ga-
zette remarks: "That Is what happens when you mix
titles with tea.” And now The Times- Incorrigible wants
to know what is a title without T.
When they fired Eskimos and duck eggs at the gen-
tleman who made the first trip to the pole-In behalf
of the gentleman who made the second trip, It was bad
enough, but It is a sight worse to go to rolling Barrill
down Mt. McKinley upon him.
Pittsburg Is not the only one having trouble with a
tiger. New York Is also mightily pestered wlith the one
branded Tammany. The Gazette says the way Pittsburg
managed It was to “hit hard and travel fast.”
BRANCH CITY OFFICE, 30J NORTH OREGON RT.
The reason why automobillsts so strongly favor good
roads Is because they often have to walk back and this,
too, Is why the Galveston News sayB air navigators fa-
vor them.
The Question of a Merchant Marine.
“Mr. Taft, like a large majority of his countrymen,
especially of those engaged in business pursuits and
given to the study of business conditions, favorB a mer-
chant marine and tersely said in his speech at Seattle
that the way to get It was to pay for It, which applies
of course to anything the people may want Individually
or collectively.
There are however various ways of getting things
by paying for them, or to put It another way, there are
various ways of paying for things and those who oppose
a Rubeldy for American built Bhlps allege with truth
that the people would under that plan pay for a mer-
chant marine for the benefit of the shipping Interests.
The same people declare that under a tariff for rev-
enue without purpose of protection the merchant ma
rlne flourished and American shipping dominated the
st as; ergo, the way to restore the ship building Industry
iu American yards is to abolish protective tariff.
Another proposition of those opposed to ship subsi-
dies is to make concessions in the duties on goods
carried by American vessels,
The first argument against subsidies Is a narrow one
and loses its force when It Is closely studied, because
a broader view of the matter and a more complete
knowledge shows that a merchant marine, though paid
for In subsidies, while it may directly benefit the ship
owners Is of a general benefit to every Interest of the
country and the people.
Having the protective tariff system fixed for appar-
ently years to come as the policy of this government
tenders of no account the second contention, although
it docs not prove that the efforts to secure a reform of
our tariff system and a change from the protective
to the revenue Idea should be relaxed- On the contrary
an experiment w ith subsidies for American shipping may
prove a powerful argument In its favor.
But, since there Is little prospect of a chaugc for
some years at least, It Is good business policy to resort
to some plan to build up our shipping Interests umlor
existing conditions, rather than allow them to languish
and our agricultural and other Interests to suffer whllo
waiting for a change which when It comes can do noth-
ing else than obviate the necessity of subsidy, or abol-
ish the concessions in duties proposed to be granted.
It has hern suggested that the objection against a
ship subsidy Is more to the name than to any economic
or political principle Involved. This is not without
foundation and It has also been suggested that a chnnge
of name might remove opposition. In tills view of the
matter, our esteemed contemporary, the Sun Antonio
Express, .suggests tlie substitution of “subvention" for
"subsidy."
It matters little how it comes, whether throught a
change In our tariff system, through subsidy, subven-
tion or concessions In duties, It will be n glad day
for American commerce, American industries and Amer-
ican national prestige when ships flying the American
flag can he found on every sea and in every part of
tho world.
So far as business Interests arc concerned ft is im-
material what killed our merchant marine. The con-
crete fact Is that it is dead. The first duty to our na-
tional prestige and our industrial interests is to
restore it. 1/
All the returns are not yet in and It can not be as-
certained whether any of our fair visitors have elected

I If RE you good friends with yourself?

’ when you have to put up with his company for a few hours?
If you do it’s time to look out There’s something wrong with the
way you’re living
, It seems to me that's one of the tests of real success. No matter how
much money or honor anyone may have acquired. If
he hasn't also built up within him a pleasant place

There is something wrong with those people who

there Is something equally wrong with those who can’t
sometimes get along without it
By being content with your own company I dont
merely mean being content to sit down and read for
an hour or two. That Isn’t really being alone. All
the characters In the book stand between you and soli-
tude 1 mean actually being alone with yourself with
nothing to distract you from the fact.
Can you sit down In the rocker and fold your
hands and enjoy “jest eettin’ and thinkln’ ” for
awhile or are you discontented unless you have a
magazine or a companion?
li Is absolutely necessary, that you have a newspaper to beguile the
Journey to your office and a tragedy If you somehow fail to get one?
It you find you're getting Into habits like that when you simply must
have either a flesh and blood or a paper person to stand between you and
yourself, better make up your mind to create a more companionable self
Rs quickly as possible.
How? Well, bear the experience of one woman 1 know.
She went from a crowded life in a city where she had a thousand
friends to a home on the prairie where her nearest neighbor was ten miles
away. Her husband was away ten hours of the day, sometimes more, and
she was alone with her baby.
''At first I was terribly lonesome,” she said, “I’d never been alone
much of any and 1 didn't know- how to be. But by-and-by, when I realized
that was the only way, I learned to be pretty good company for myself.
“First of all I learned to think. I don’t believe most people really
think much. They dream, they think in fragments. They flit from im-
pression to Impression, from memory to rhemory, but they don’t realty
think anything through to the end. I tried to train my mind to think
definitely along one subject. I used to hold regular debates with myself.
I'd take up first one side of the subject and then the other.
“And then as I sat and rocked the baby’s cradle or did the dishes I’d
learn poetry, whole books of it almost.
“And sometimes I’d plan out essays and stories. In the course of the
winter I wrote a whole novel In my mind, carrying the characters from
chapter to chapter until I got real interested in them.
“By the time I had my friends again, though I enjoyed them just as
much. I wasn’t so dependent upon them.”
Very few of us will ever lie so isolated on a prairie.. But there are other
sorts of isolation quite as bad and much more common. There’s the isola-
tion of physical disability—blindness or deafness—the isolation of uncon-
genial company, and most common of all tho Isolation of tho ^time when
One has lived to be “the last leaf upon the tree.”
Wouldn’t it he worth while to be always sure of being able to carry
into any sort of isolation one interesting companionable, congenial person
—Yourself?
Indiana Democrats Gone Wrong.
The Fort Worth Star Telegram nays that “in Ills ex
frame solicitude to save Texns from Senator Bailey,
who has been elected more times than the Nebraskan
has been defeated—and that Is going some—it seems
Mr. Bryan has overlooked a great moral rift In tho Dem-
ocracy of Indiana.” ,
A tie vote for the nomination for alderman on the
Democratic ticket resulted in the primary at Lawrence-
burg. The rival candidates decided the matter by a
game of seven-up.
The Star-Telegram argues that “gambling with cards
to settle political disputes is as bad, if not worse, than
the heresy in Texas of believing that hides and wool
should carry a duty as long as woolen goods and shoes
are protected ”
Therefore, our contemporary concludes that Mr.
Bryan’s “presence and the laying on of gestures is ur-
gently needed" in Indiana.
An enterprising western contemporary, the El Paso
Daily Times, says: “The Dallas Times-Herald Is firing
some puzzlers at Brother Cone Johnson. It is anxious j 1 DOC
to know whether he is 'an unhorsed politician or a dew |
agogue or too recently a convert.”’ Tin Tlmes-Herald
did not fire the puzzlers at the lion. Cone Johnson.
They were hurled by one of the anointed, a member of
the Anti-Saloon League organization and likewise ed-
itor of a religions newspaper. The Timos-Herald, pro-
foundly shocked as it wes, merely repeated the puz-
zlers.—Dallas Times-Herald.
