PHIC AMI TDK SHIP M HIIM BILL.
Tin* comm mt In some of the Western
papers on Senator Frye’s speech on the
ship-subsidy bill Is calculated to create the
Impression that he has not rendered that
measure very much assistance. For In
stance. hr said that this country was In
n very unfortumde and humiliating condi
tion as to Its foreign carrying trade, and
that nothing but sulieidtea could save It.
It rsrnu that the Commissioner of Navi
gation has slated In his annual report—
the one for 1830—some things In respect
lo the American shipping Industry which
show tt to be In a nourishing condition If
the Commissioner Is lo be beiloved our
foreign carrying trade Is no! In such a de
plorable slate as Senator Frye would
have the country believe.
Berta tor Frye also said that the operat
ing riphitw of English ami German ships
were to tier rent, less than those of Amer
ican ships. Thai being tlte case how will
It be possible to build up an American
maruie by means of subsidies? The sub
sidy provided for In the pending bill would
benefit comparatively few ship*. How
would it he possible to operate the others
If whal Senator Frye say* Is correct?
Surely he does not expect that every
American ship in the. foreign carrying
trade will be subsidised? Is It not the
fact rather that the Senator's figures will

From the Washington Post.
Tat not tho gleams of whiteness at the
torn pies that proclaim
Your youthful year* are fleeting and that
life Is not (he same.
For each year la what you make It as the
seasons come and go.
And life Is ever youthful. If you care to
have it so.
Your birthday anniversary may measure
like a cheat.
But the holidays give warning with a
faithfulness complete.
And you may a* well confess It. Yours Is
not a happy lot
When you llnd you aren't caring if It's
Christmas time or not.
When the laughter of the children seems
a harsh, discordant strain.
And tho fragrance of the market wafts It
greetings all tn vain.
Oh. It's then that comes tho warning that
you can't misunderstand:
It's then that Time has touched you with
a eoki and ruthlesa hand.
I*or youth will live so tong as youthful
memories nre dear.
And age will knock In vain until you bid
them disappear.
You may be lean and slippered, but you
needn t mind a Jot
Till you tind you aren't caring if It'*
Christmas time or not.

some coffee—Just one liny drop of eoffe,

spot la still on the shirt, close to Ihe flag
