Everybody must work but father, but nobady smiles except the coal man these days. , Mrs. Coolidge has started *her Christmas shopping. Why not fol low the example of the first lady of -the land? If the soft coal workers go on strike all the American people will have left to burn will be their indignation, and that seems to be a little damp under stress. The latest move to enforce prohi- * bition by checking home wine making may be extended to prevent fermen- _ tat ion of corn in the silo, and then what will happeta to our milk supply? Asked if she felt that the radio was taking the place of the magazines and newspapers an Ohio housewife shook her head and said it couldn’t happen. “We can’t start fires with radios,’’ she remarked. ^ I The New York World very aptly sums up the nauseous Rhinelander annulment suit when it says that all the family got out of it was “the public degradation of a son, unspeak able torture for all who bear name, a grand show-off for the law yers and an obsence holiday for the mob,” If New York State were as civilised as South Carolina and had a law, prohibiting the intermarriage 'Of WTiltes and negroes, all of the above could have been avioded. While no such law should be needed, it serves as a protection to people like young Rhinelander. Mercantile Leadership Costly. Before we succeed in completely destroying the American merchant marine, the likelihood is we will have apent more than double the number of miliiona it would have cost any other nation to build a shipping background for the protection and development of its world trade. If we are to follow the recommendations of H. G. Dal ton, the investigator appointed by President Coolidge, then further vast expenditures are certain to result. If we don’t, then a continuance of tre mendously heavy losses must be faced. Seemingly the possession of a merchant marine is our greatest in ability—a condition that surely would have caused amusement in the days when, the American flag was fore most on the seas. Th« expenditure of millions upon millions in Washington, the added expenditures resulting from continuous changes in the Shipping Board from Admiral Benson to Al bert Lasker are equalled only in pub lic imagination by the sight of hun dreds of great ships being set on fire by the government to gtt rid of them and curtail even greater loss. The cost of maintenance of the fabled white elephnat shrinks to nothing alongside of the cost of America owning ships. There has been a steady decline in the American Shipping situation ajnee the time Admiral Benson was turned down on his programme to educate the people of country America to the fact that an American merchant * marine is nothing, more or less .than an extension of American railroad Service to increase American trade in foreign markets. It is an admitted fact that no programme of the gov ernment can succeed unless it has back of it the support of the Ameri can people, and that means the sup port of the country where sixty mil 'll ons of American people live. Out of those vast masses of our poulation few persons in the interior havfe any conception of the shipping problem, hut they certainly have been made to appreciate the fact that American •hips are a costly proposition. »»#4MMM##M»####M####1 DOUGHTY’S the old reliable DRY CLEANERS AND DYERS since 1895 • ; iPhone 6562, Columbia TrTrVTrTr 1—' CHRISTMAS SHOPPING Hsve You Selected Your Gifts. .1 Come in and let us show you our new line of ^Watches, clocks.
