T T THESHIP BONUS,
One of the strongest speeches
aguingst the proposed bonus to ship
‘owners known as the Ship Siubgiay
blil was recently made by Represen
tative Ewin L. Davis of Tennessce
who has made a special study of that
subject,
Judge Davig' arguments against the
proposed ship subsidy may be sum
med vp as follows:
“The Ship Subsidy act will cost
| $760,000,000 in subsidies and aids
within the next ten years in addition
to the loss on the sale-of ,m('.rchunl‘
hhlpu and 8125,000,m|d s rtacomlltlonl
the vessels, ey
“The estimated returns from the
pale of the‘ships, which cost $3 000,
000,600 will be about $200,000,000,000
the people sustaining a loss by defla
tion of $2,800 000,000,
“It is contemplated that the com
panies, which purchased sthe ships
will capitalize them largely in excess |
of their cost to them and sell the
stock and bonds to the American peo
ple, uh
“The bill provides for the ollmina-"
tion of the Army and Navy transports ‘
80 as to requh'.e our troops, munitions
and supplics to be carried in uprlvatefi
Iy owned vessels without distinction
in time of war, giving to the ship
‘owners ahout $7,500 000 per annum in
the Pacific alone, $5,000,000 of which
would be net profit,
“The Ship Subsidy bill is so drnftml‘
as to strip Congress of the power of
legislation and of appropriation, zuulrl
to usunp powers now exercised by]
the President and members of his
Cabinet.” v’ |
- - These are but a few of the main
‘points covered by Judge Davis’ pow
erful argument against the bill. 5
’ BUSCH VS. LASKER.
That'Chairman Lasker of the Ship
;plng Board exhibited a bad temper!
in repiying to the Busch letter. reveal
ing the sale of liquor on vessels of
the U. 8, Shipping Board is an op#i
lon liere among many. Naturally to
call Uncle Sam the ‘yggest bootleg
ger in the world” because of the sale
of liguor on Shipping ‘Board vessels
would roil Chairman Lasker, because
in this matter Lasker, by gruo;e‘.,_pf
President Harding is the representa
tive of Unclo Sam, aid”pertorce the
epithet of bootlegger also strikes at.
him. It is not understood just whyf*
Chairman Lasker should counter at
tack upon Mr, Busch and other Amer
icans of German blood on the theory
that they are trying to injure the
American merchant marine, as he
did in the following: -
“It is, of course, notorious that
Adolphus Busch, who founded your
brewery was possibly the Kalser's
closest friend in Amerjca, and that
your family for many year§ Ilas
maintained a castle in Germany; your
action in any event will not dizplease
your German friends, whose :sreatest
hope of a restored German merchant
marine is in a hurt to America’s new:
born merchant marine.” :
As it is perfectly ridiculous to as
sume that Germany could build up a
merchant marine by destroying the
American merchant marine, this
would indicate that Chairman Lasker
was not only surprised, but comfused
and angry, at the revelation that
Lasker's ships were “wet” when they
"were supposed to be “dry.” \

THEY FINALLY WENT CRAZY
Here is a story published in an ex
change which, says the Fourth Es

of a community in Kansas appreci
ated their editor: “In appreciation
of the work of a Kansas editor for
their community a bunch of c¢itizens
recently presented him with a *bou

tet from a local church sang a few
sweet songs and a minister made a
little talk. A\fter the minister’s tulkl
six husky men carried the populur‘
editor from the house and placed him
tenderly in a model 1921 plumed se

YOUR BRAIN
~ Ameriens Times-Recorder: A brain
wizard, Chegley M. Hutchings, sits
in a room at Harvard TUniversity.
For three hours 13 professors direet
at him a rapid-fire of questions in
the form of an cxamination =in
“‘Romance language and literature.”
Hutehings angwoers cvery question,
—promptly, accurately.
It is such a phenomenai showing
that, the telegraph wires carry his
victory to mewspapers all over the
country. l‘
Hutehings, it is disclosed, is an ovx‘
pert in 15 langaages. That is inter
csting news, for most of us have dif
ficulty handling onec language.
Without disparging IHutchings’ ad
mirable feat, few pecople need envyt
him, for the very simple reason thutl
few people ever have occasion to use
15 lflngquos.
Life is short. It is a hard and con
stant struggle for most people to keep,
away from the breadline. The limited
time available to the average person
for study must be devoted largely
to practieal things.
Later, if ' automatic machinlery
frees o man from slavery, of muscles
concentration, and time, purely in-l
tellectual or eunltured pursnits — will
be degirable for all.
It ased to be that all education
was akin to pumping 15 languages
into the individual brain. Steadily
we shift to the goal of teaching peo
ple how to find knowledge when they
‘need it—where to look for it and
Bow to understand it-—rather than at
tempting to eram the brain with in-|
fermation rarely used.
If some one asks you where Li
beria is, it affords a thrill to be able
to answer. More important is the
ability to know' how to ascertain Li
beria’s gm;{:'gnphicu" location quick
ly, when therd“is occasion to use the
information. .

A COLUMBUS WOMAN'S
BEAUTIFUL TOAST.
Clyde Woodall, in the Columbus
;Enqulrer-Sun. saysf. 5
. “The most beautiful tribute to
;-Geurgia ever written sprang fresh
~and fragrant from the hea® and
:, thought of a Columbus woman. The
‘;‘ manuscript lies before me, but I do
.not know the name pf the author. It
. wag written some 20 years ago on
the -steamship Romantic as the ship
ploughed the waves of the Atlantic,
on its way to America. A Columbus
woman was aboard, returning home
.from Kurope. And here was the
toast she proposed to Georgiz:
. “Here’s to sun-kissed, dew span
gled breeze-caressed Georgia! Land
of high mountains and rolling plains;
of mighty forests and fields of grain--
“Of busy harbers and hammers
ringing; v .
Of whirring spindles and darkies
singing; :
Of fruits and flowers, the melon
and the vine,
Of cane and cotton, tl3e palm and
the pine.
. “Georgia! the land which ‘tickled
with a hoe will laugh into a harvest,’
where the air breathes a fragrance
and the skies smile a blessing, and
the seas croon a lullaby, and the
winds sigh a requiem, and the stars
keep their vigils. |
" “(eorgia—the land of the song-bird
and the eagle; of white-souled wom
en and knightly men. .

there was—Georgia!” '
