THE SHIPPING BILL TO PASS.
The determination of the Demo
crats of the senate to pass the ad
ministration shipping bill this
session is meeting with overwhelm
ing popular approval. This bill will
at once create a great merchant
marine for carrying American
goods to all parts of the world and
thereby greatly promote our for
eign trade. Heretofore, the expor
tation of American goods has been
almost entirely dependent on the
great merchant marine of Great
Britain and Germany and of course
those two great commercial coun
tries always give the product of
their own country the benefit of
their best service, so American
trade has been at a great disad
vantage for lack of merchant ma
rine. This bill provides for the
creation of a company with $50,
000,000 capital to be furnished
partly by the government and part
ly by private capitalists, but these
ships are to be auxiliaries of the
navy, but in times of peace are to
be used for merchant shipping.
The bill is heartily supported by
both housee of congress, except
those senators and representatives
who are tools of the shipping
trust. The Democratic leaders
hcve decreed that this bill must
become a law before congress ad
journs, as the growing industries of
the country demand.
0. 0. P. CAMPAIGN FALLS FLAT.
Since those few efferyerscent
bubbles which followed the Re
publican nomination, have disap
peared the country has
almost forgotten who the Republi
cans and Bull Moose nominated
for President. Every day bring
added proof that the country is
more than satisfied with that great
safe and sane statesman in the
White House, and that it intends to
engage his services for four more
years.
There was a very significant de
velopment at the Chicago Repub
lican convention, which a good
many have overlooked. W'hen the
Republican have hopes of winning
a victory, there is not only a
scramble for the temporary chair
manship of the convention, but a
scramble for the permanent chair
manship too. These two offices
are high honors and the incum
bents are the two keynotes of the
convention. This year, however,
the Republicans did not have
enough issues for one keynote,
much less for two, so instead of
electing a temporary and perma
nent chairman, thus honoring two
of its big leaders, they made poor
old Senator Harding of Ohio fill
both bills and as there was no
scramble for the chairmanship this
year, for the scramblers do not like
the idea of trying to make a
‘ funeral sermon” sound like a bat
tle cry, and so they allowed the
double honor to devolve on Senator
Harding, who was both temporary
and permanent chairman. Some
of the reports said he fell fiat and
others said he blew up, which is
saying the same thing in a differ
ent way.

Although Amendment No. 12
has been endorsed by the Demo
cratic party, it is not a party issue.

Tnere are in Arkansas about 8,
000 school teachers and 3,000

are high schools. Many of these

however, unless Amendment No.
12 is adopted.
Nebraska levies 35 mills for
school purposes, Oklahoma 24, and
yet some close fisted tax-dodgers
are opposing Amendment No. 12,
which would only make it possible,
by a majority vote, to increase our
rate a maximum of 5 mills. The
state which pursues a niggardly
policy towards its schools can nev
er march in the vanguard of prog
ress.
The recent action of bondhold
ers in availing themselves of the
federal law to compel the assess
ment of property at 100 cents on
the dollar, demonstrates the urg
ent necessity of passing Amend
ment No. 12. Unless this meas
ure becomes a law, scores of school
districts will be forced to pay on
the full valuation of their property
in order to provide a sinking fund
| to pay their school bonds.

Inspiration of Mother Earth
Bj JOHN BURROUGHS
Man takes root at his feet, and at his best he is no more than a potted
plant in his house or carriage, till he has established communication with
the soil by the loving and magnetic touch of his soles to it. Then the tie
of association is horn; then spring those invisible fibers and rootlets
through which character comes to smack of the soil, and which make a
man kindred to the .spot otf earth he inhabits. The roads and paths you
have walked along in suirrmer and winter weather, the fields and mills
which you have looked updn in lightness and gladness of heart, where
fresh tl^gfjfehts have come into your mind, or some noble prospect has
opened before you, and especially the quiet ways where you have walked,
pausing under the trees, drinking at the spring—henceforth they are not
the same; a, new charm is added; those thoughts spring there perennial,
your friend walks there forever.

Dredging for Gold.
Marysville has a new half-million
dollar dredger, which will probe arable
land to the depth of 80 feet, extract
the gold In it and leave It In the shape
of a useless, nonoruamental hpap of
stones. A gold dredger makes a scar
like a high-explosive shell. This Is a
long step from the happy-hearted, red
shlrted forty-niner, with pick and pan
and grub stake. It is not exactly a
step onward and upward; in fact, It Is
like a great deal of modern mechanical
progress, representing vast Ingenuity
expended In what Is really a nonpro
ductive effort. The value of gold Is
utmost entirely fictitious; the world
would not be a whit better off If a
whole mountain range of It were dis
covered and put Into circulation. An
acre of rich earth Is worth more than
all the gold that can lie beneuth It. for
earft) raises grain and fruit and men,
while the best that gold can do Is to
enable men to live without effort, on
the results of other men's work.—Sun
