GOVERNMENT TO FIGHT FOR
CONTROL OF SHIPPING
President Harding’s re-statement at
Tacoma of the government’s determi
nation to operate the $3,000,000,000
merchant fleet as the only alternative
left, in view of the refusal of congress
to provide ship aid and the inability
of the shipping board to sell the ships
at anything like a fair value, means
that foreign ship owners, with gov
ernment aid, will not be allowed to
wrest all the commerce from the U.
S. without a fight. The president re
fuses to scrap the fleet, much as he is
opposed to the idea of federal opera
tion, for he realizes that to do so will
paralyze our foreign trade or again
allow it to become the victim of fore
ign competition. For ten months’ per
iod ended April 1st last th^American
vessels carried 32 per cent of our im
ports and 38 per cent of our exports.
Foreign vessels carried 68 and 66 per
cent respectively. The total value of
cargoes carried in American bottoms
was $1,939,000,000. British vessels
alone carried $1,990,000 worth, or $50,
000,000 more than American ships;
and since much of the American ton
nage dealt with tanker trade and the
Great Lakes carrying, the British have
gone far ahead of us in overseas com
merce. It requires little imagination to
realize how soon 90 per cent of our
trade would be carried under foreign
flags if the government meekly sur
rendered.
What are the wild waves saying
As they clash against the beach?
They say it’s great to be playing
Around a corn-led peach.
PITY the poor politician who does
not know whether to cuss Wall Street
promise lower taxes, or clamor for
beer.
_
THE SEIZING of ship's liquor will \
astonish those nations who formerly
believed all gall was divided into three
parts.
JESS WILLARD, who is forty years
old, is described as an “old man,’’ and
that is why he was mauled to his
knees by the hard-looking gentleman
from Argentine. Thousands of busi- j
nessmen, statesmen and others are in i
the harness at 70 and still going
strong. Monkey glands are of no avail
in pugilism.
THE BOOK of etiquette is silent!
about it, but it is always good form to
attend to your own business.
No matter how fast the clock runs
it always winds up in the same place.
OUR IDEA of a patient man is one
who bought a century plant to see if
it really would bloom every hunrded
years.
ML DICES HELD
YAKIMA INDIANS STAGE HOP IN
DEFIANCE OF UKASE
YAKIMA, July 27—Indian warriors
swirling in the wild gyrations of the
war dance, clad in union suits from
the white man’s factories, painted
braves w’ho used hand mirrors and
rouge of the wThite woman’s toilet to
“make up” with as much disregard of
spectators as any “flapper” could
boast; painted warriors treading their
ancient tribal banes under the glare
of modern gas lamps.
These indications of the blending
of old and new in Indian life and char
acters were features of the Yakima In
dian dances at Molo Molo Springs on
the Yakima Indian reservation Sun
day when the celebration which had
been in progress for about two weeks,
reached its climax.
Fully 500 indians, including delega
tions from the Umatilla, Pendleton,
Idaho, Warm Springs and other tribes
were in attendance.
Indian Commissioner Burke’s ukase
against tribal dances was ignored, but
over the tepee encampment surround
ing the grounds waved the Stars and
Stripes.
The modern note was seen again
when the crowd that sw’ayed with the
dancers to the boom of the tom tom,
also found a thrill in the ball games
and Wild West exhibition.
A ceremony, at the close of the danc
ing last night, when the chief of cere
monies introduced a lad who was tak
ing part in his first dance, as a step
toward his right to wear the eagle
feathers of a warrior, proved that old
ideas and customs still persist strong
ly in the Indian character.
JOHNSON SAYS THERE ARE

INDIANAPOLIS, July 27—Jack
Johnson, negro pugilist, and former
heavyweight champion, discussed the
ring sport with county officials today
while attempting to obtain the release
of his automobile which was attached
by the sheriff while he was appearing
here in vaudeville, in 1921.
“There are three people in the
world who can knock out Jack Demp
sey,” the former champion asserted.
“They are Firpo, Harry Wills and
Jack Johnson.
