For the Whole Country Matthew Hale summed up the position of the Southern ports advocktes when, he said at Wash ington Wednesday night that the American Mer chant Marine will survive only by a straightout .policy of operating for the benefit of the country's": proaucers, ana not lor iae suvauuiKe vi buiifi owners and ; operators. The issue now, being, pressed at Washington ia, simply whether the Merchant Marine is to be operated as a genuinely ' American institution or as something else altogether. We have the fullest confidence in the ability of the Mid-West shippers and the- Southern ports ad- vocates to win their case. It was won before on merit, and merit in theory lias the -support of , merit demonstrated by experience. The right of every-- American snipper to cuoose . wiwoui, hindrance the "port through which his business 'can be handled most expeditiously and eco nomically" is so unassailable as to be axiomatic. It is hardly conceivable that" the "proposed at tempt" of certain trunk line railroads to have annulled the existing export freight rates between the Middle West and the ports of the Gulf and South Atlantic will develop convincing strength, if indeed it develops openly at all. 1 Our Merchant Marine canbe vitalized and soundly established only as a great national asset. It is undoubtedly true, as Matthew Hale 'said, that -acflsll il now at hand, and the adoption of a essential to the safety of . this promising enter- ' prise: . . '. v Youth and "The Good Old Days" I can say to you young men that the aver-f' . age' student in college today is at least twice s as clean, twice as honest and twice as hard a : worker as was the average collegian of fifty years ago. ' . We hear of wild groups -at Princeton Yale, ' 1 etc... There are some such, today, but they are t in a small minority! In my day they domi . ' nsted in every college. Moreover, while the collegian of today does not to-the same extent advertise his allegiance t to religion, fundamentally he is many times , more interested In religion than my crowd in -the 1870s. - This is true everywhere; but I believe the students in small colleges, as a rule, have a higher standard of honor than those in larger ones and work much harder. A statement like the one printed above, made by a minister, speaking to college students, is cer tainly out t of the ordinary today. Dr. Gustave Carstensen, of Holy wood Church, New York, is firmly convinced that this is true, and extends his belief to all young men and women, whether they be college students or not; He says that they are . clean, wholesome, right living, and not wild and immoral. .. .. .. . . . . We are glai to find this defense of the rising' generation. t Because some young people conduct ' themselves fn such conspicuous fashion that the newspapers are full of their escapades, the charge, that' their actions are typical is brought against; all young men and women. Most of these charges are "blanket," not specific, and, since people are credulous and gossip, that ancient occupation, is. not given to minimizing the thrilling details of i a story, especially when ther is no danger" of a libel suit, the wildness of vntith P-mwn in iha ho. ' ' ' " . VUV V40 " ciisaion of it. One mightnfer from much current talk that the generations preceding the one now growing up were perfect in all their ways. "Man," says one writer, "is gifted in forgetting the pranks he played in his gay, days. He often seeks to im press on his juniors the belief that from childhood he possessed the. poise and exercised the self-restraint of maturity. He exaggerates the de fects of those who find pleasure in diversions- which no longer amuse him." We do riot proclaim that the youth Of today is beyondJmproyement, in morals and in manners, and chletty in manners, but we do believe It Is not as blade as it is painted. If it .were, the discredit would largely belong to the former generations, who have failed to make precept and example' sufficiently worth while. ' ' v. 9 The Alabaina' man who . vanquished a mule' by the simple expedient of getting the animal to kick him. s on the, brow is attracting weil-deseryed , notoriety. But we should not allow ou'r-admlra- tion to, obscure the fact that; the human head is occasionally usel to better purpose. . " Mr. Dosher On the Fee System; Our comniimentji . to Commissioner Dosher lor. U , his candorvOur thanks to him . for breaking, the ipng4 nijxteness' of his Board. The personalities pf , his, statement w. pass over he will recover his poise When 'he is more seasoned' in office." And we grant him the consciousness 6f a good cause, ai though. heT does much to invalidate hfa position by forgetting that abuse is a poor substitute for per-J suasive logic. x . . We quote sucli observations of Mr. Ddsher as', seem to us to be pertinent to a discussion of the, fee system: ' . . . .; . The average person, o my mind, is not , interested - except Lit be for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not it would be a sav ing to the taxpayers. The board of county ; commissioners having given this matter much r thought s and consideration and being con-1 . .: stantly, besieged to raise salaries of all deputies and minor officials decided to rec ommend to our legislators to put county offi; ;ers onia fee basis and let each office take ' care of itself and it the office holders could not " make a 'living under1 this system -it. would be . thrbughnb -fault of. the commissioners. The. salary system-has been a losing proposition for the county. d am quite sure-the large percentage of taxpayers are quite satisfied to '-. get rid of a losing proposition. My Judg . ment is that taxpayers desire to save all public funds that it- is possible to do and acting, upon r my judgment and consulting those who know, I am of the same opinion. 1 Commissioner Dosher's argument is clearly in tended to be one of economy. It is a little difficult to follow him when he declares that "the salary system is a losing proposition." Exactly what does he mean? Losing to whom? Does he imply 'that TeturhsTto i the county from'the several offices.' donbt equal' the" expenditures i for salaries?' If this is his idea, and if he bases his conclusions upon such a fact, he has given expression to a unique conception of governmental economics. Does Mr. Dosher really wish to compare tharcounty to a: commercial venture, the only profits to', be thought of being those which can be coined the only benefits those which can be measured in terms of dollars and cents? Doesn't government! offer something else no less real but not' quite i so tangible the blessings of order. Justice, honor, peace, of -&n environment making for; happiness, for strength, for the enlargement- of men's minds and hearts to a truer realization of the best within them? Does Mr. Dosher seriously contend that the salary system is wasteful because Income and expenditure do not tally? ' -Importuned to raise salaries, says Mr. Dosher, the commissioners "decided to,. recommend to our. legislators to put county omcers on a lee JOasis ana let each office take care of itself and if the office holders could not make a living under this system it would be through no fault of the commission ers," This touches the very point which The Star has been urging all along. Officers should, receive ample compensation, and it is the duty of the com missioners to make this possible. Mr. "DosHer would give the omcers fees and let themtarve if there should be no fees. TheW is little likelihood of-such an 'eventuality, but iThe Star suggests that Mr. Dosher presents a mistaken philosophy. Surely , when men'iail to make a living they can not be expected to render efficient service. . And surely the commissioners have no desire to cripple "Jhe public ''service. , , . , . "My judgment is that taxpayers 'desire to save all public funds that It Is possible to do," says Mr.' Dosher. To which we say-' heartily amen. But you will save jmblic funds much more surely, and you will strengthen thenT good government much more lastingly, if you pay the county! officers Sal aries which "are adequate and Commensurate with "their ; responsiblliUes, .instead of letting .'feach Office lake care or-itse'lir--4'itli nolone'io'jake. care of the public: . , ' ' . ' o ?l ' .' An Experiment In Socialism , The American Export Corporation is 'an organ ization headed by ex-Governor Manning of South. Carolina and designed tp supplement existing pri-' vate agencies for the export and domestic 'sale cof" American farm products. A South Carolina cor poration, its proposed capital of ten million dol lars is to be derived from the sale of stock to farmers and merchants in the various Southern states. It is therefore entirely a commercial proj ect, finding its resources in the subscriptions of . individual investors. North Carolinians must 1 have therefore reao with .conslerable astonishment of the introduc tion in the Senate of a bill authorizing, and direct ing, the, state to subscribe a million dollars to the stock of this corporation. In principle, and apart from the present public emergency, such a course would be indefensible. ' Its .-mere suggestion re calls the rabidrdays of popuiistic propaganda. It is doubtful, whether : the state has a legal right to subscribe to a commercial organization operated for profit. It is certainly ' wrong for the State. with f unds obtained through ' taxation, to invade " - A tuuuuw;.w coiupeuuon witn private business. ' tate credit-rests, upon'; private tfrdp erty.

S; Hybert inJparUcular, .If your news item -entitled "Big Steame Plays HayocV.in Harbor" were to pass unchallenged.-1 v 1 1 i r Sv Persons reading the article would infer that Captain Brown and his , whole crew' shpuld have been placed in irons and the vessel hehl- M bond, for ever daring to leave the harbor without he aid of a tug and furthermore Jthat-oniy- through;; the intercession of a merciful Providence waS-the city spared destruction. .' :" .: ; v ; . .. That Captain Brown was daring we will admit, inasmuch as it was a f eat ..thiat' has seldoinr if ever; been accomplished here' before but let us also admit that such a masterly :exhibition of 'cal culation, coolpessv and skillful; handling of such a vessel thrilled hose ; who ere fortunate enough to be eye-witnesses, with delight and pride. - V . It carried the writer back to those good old days when seamanship and a cool head were the fore most requisites in a skipper 7 when tugs wereun thought of ; when men had to resort to every cun ning -and ingenuity to achieve with glory what! tneir successors hesitate to attempt, notwitnstana ing all the latest Improvements of science at their' elbow; and,, because Captain rBrown, although un known to me personally is obviously of the old school,' I feel compelled to pen these few remarks .In opposition to the comments of his would-be critics. ; "' v ' : The article speaks of havoc .wrought to boats, docks and personal property-rthis is really very, very7 humorous, w There has been an oloVtime stern-wheeler named "Thelma," mooredTacross the river ,'judging from her appearance a relic of ancient days; this splen did relic has. suffered, a compound. fracture of the belt near the , wheela where - the Hybert eased up against her fpr a second, and as far as my ob-' nervation goes this trifling incident comprises the "havoc wrought to , -boats, docks and personal' property." V Now, Sir, knowing this, one is led to look about for a motive for the report, and reading between the lines to me.it stands out very plainly L.we, however, will not dwell on this feature here suffice it to say that Captain Brown probably decided In his own mind that he could save Hhe Shipping Board a considerable sum by taking his vessel out 5 unassisted, damages to etc., etc.., notwithstanding. These humble remarks are prompted by the spirit of fair-play, and honor to whom honor is due. We may all try to boost Wilmington as the com- ing port,. but can neVer hope to see our hope-fulfilled until a manifest change takes place in the spirit, if not of the people, of the few. 4 Here's to the Hybertlast of the Mohicans and to Captain ' Brown, hair-raiser, stuntpuller but withal Master Mariner and MAN -hats off!

Baltimore Sa:.--Mr..:Hardings White House trousseau has recently excited the ridicule of such "or&lfer tlegantiaturriT as Mr. Tilghman G. Pitts, secretary of the Bachelors', -Cotillon, who sneers at the President-elect's frock coats, and has provoked the prudent reticence of. politicians like' former Governor Goldsborpugh and Mr. W:- Bladen Lowndes, who fear that the Item of twelve silk 'waistcoats and six fancy waistcoats may create a tidal wave of. reaction against the;:new Admin- . istratidn. We shall not consider the expression of elite sentiment) complete untit"wer have heard irom that glass of fashion and that, mold .of. form, Mc. . Walter de. Curzon Poultney, nor the reflection of political thought as significant until-Mr. John J. Mahon has spoken. , We are inclined to think that Mr. Pitts treats the frock-oat item -too superficially as" well as too suDercillously. and that Mr. Goldsboroueh and Mr.vLowndes 'are guilty of unwarranted timidity in damning-With faint praise Mr; Harding s ward-, robe. So : far as the frock, coats are concerned,, they are part of 'Mr". Harding's . political equip-: ment. There are elements of our population and. sections of country in which the -frock, coat and the. high hat still reign supreme. They represent to such areas and to such persons the superlative pomp, ceremony and dignity of masculine costume. And It is not ap- long ago that our Charles street fashionables shared this opinion and made a frock-coat holiday of every Easter parade.
