SMALLEST OF TRAMP SHIPS The steamship Dorothy, dpt. D. S. Kendall, which arrived at this post last week from Jacksonville with a cargo of 8,880 railroad ties consigned to the Kew Haven railroad, possesses the unique distinction of being the smallest "tramp" flying the American flag. Among the seafaring fraternity she is better known as the little Dorothy, the dynamite transport having been specially constructed for carrying explosives and formerly engaged in that trades. There is another and larger American steamer which is known as the "Big Dorothy." At the outbreak of the Mexican insurrection, the Dorothy was being overhauled at a southern shipyard and operated to her famous reputation as a dynamite transport she was the object of much attraction to those deeply interested in Mexican affairs, it being generally reported that the steamer would mysteriously disappear from the United States to reappear in a Mexican port. Every movement of Capt. Kendall was carefully watched by government officers and others. The Dorothy had fine weather and made a good run from St. Johns Bar to Diamond Shoals, but a northeast gale and heavy head seas retarded her progress from Hatteras to Sandy Hook. She also had a strong headwind up Long Island Sound. The Dorothy completed the voyage from dock to dock in 132 hours. E. H. Weaver & Co. are looking after the ship’s interests.

PORTER WINNER OF DE FOREST PRIZE Said Progressivism, How Triumphant Gives Happy Augury for Picture—Democracy and Progressives Allice, Combine in a Revolt Against Privilege and for Glean and Efficient Popular Government E. M. Porter of Springfield, Mass., carried off the DeForest public speaking prize at Yale last week. The honor is a coveted one. Mr. Porter chose as his subject “The Spirit of the Progressive Movement.” He spoke for about twenty minutes. Following were the salient points he made: "The spirit of the Progressive Movement" “What then is the problem of today? What phase of the recurrent condition do we face? In general, the problem is the cleaning of our political, social, and industrial life fabric. In particular, it is “What are you going to do for men and women?” If it is worth while to make its representative of the people rather than of the politicians. If we are to call America free, it is worth while to protect our women and our injured and aged laborers. If the nation is properly to prosper, combination should be regulated so that where monopoly is inevitable, it shall be controlled. We must prevent corrupt industry. We must protect legitimate business. LONG WAIT OF 20 YEARS. "For 20 years while an amendment to the Constitution providing for the direct election of senators has been shown by John Hay's action at the period of China's awakening, in the Russo-Japanese War, and in the opinion of the Chinese, the Japanese have a record book, and America will have her reward in the markets of that country. Yale Man Says, A Chinese was one of the six competitors in the De Forest prize speaking contest this year at Yale. He is a senior, and his name is Yoeh Liang Tong. He prepared for Yale at Amherst, Mass., and Shanghai, China. Tong did not carry off the prize, but he received what is called the Townsend premium. His effort was the most remarkable of any of those who spoke, for he was handicapped by having to add to the big Lampson lyceum audience in English, which, of course, is not his own tongue. Yoeh Liang Tong said: MIRACLE OF THE CENTER. It has been said that the Chinese revolution is the great miracle of the 20th century. It there any revolution in history that is comparable to it in the peacefulness of its nature and the amazing shortness of time in which it has been accomplished? Is there any event of modern times that has a more significant and far-reaching bearing on the world than this movement? This sudden change indicates not only that China is awakening, but that she is quite awake. It signifies that it is the opening of a new and more promising chapter of her history. It means that centuries of conservatism have been swept away and an era of freedom and progress has set in. The whole country is seething with a new spirit. Everything is changing as never before. When we compare new China and the old, the contrast stands out in bold relief. Thirty years ago, she was yet making an attempt to drive away the so-called “foreign devils”; today her doors are thrown wide open and foreigners are received with courtesy. Yesterday, China was all stagnation and conservatism, perhaps best symbolized by the queue, the same famous queue, which pending, a Lorimer, an Aldrich and a Ruggenheim have sat in our upper house. An outworn anti-trust law has been idolized and applied, with the result that the price of gasoline has doubled and Standard Oil stock increased in value by two-thirds. A New York court has declared a workingmen's compensation act that meant relief to humanity unconstitutional on a trivial technicality. A political party pledged to tariff reduction has enacted a law that founts the principal of favor to the special interests. At the challenge of this failure, a champion has arisen to battle for reform and popular rights—the Progressive movement. NATION DIVIDED INTO TWO CLASSES. This nation is naturally divided into two classes—those who, as between constitutional or traditional restraints and popular justice, prefer the former, and those who believe that the constitution was made for the people, not the people for the constitution. I conceive that if our institutions are failing to measure up to their requirements, those institutions should be modernized. The struggle then is between liberalism and conservatism. Between the progressives and the reactionaries, my appeal is from the plane where all who challenge the old order unite in a common cause against a common foe. Under the stimulus of liberal sentiment, there has crystallized among the people the National Progressive party. As one wing of the Progressive movement, this party is worthy of consideration. It was created by a condition, quickened into life by an event, and made an organized and effective agent of reform through the influence and inspiration of a great personality. The condition was the gradual and finally complete surrender of the Republican party to the more malignant forces of corruption within it. A broken pledge of tariff reduction, the victory of Cannonism incompetent and even dishonest appointees to office, reactionary advisers of the administration, a reciprocity treaty, with Canada, opening American farmers to the cheaper Canadian competition while protecting the manufacturers who have even been recipients of government favor, the rise to leadership of the very men who opposed the nominee of the party in 1908, and were defeated, the Bosses like Barnes and Penrose who voted for the Chinese people is ever a sign of disgrace, but to the western cartoonists an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Yesterday the republic of China was an irredeemable dream, but today it is an accomplished fact. Yesterday China was cited by the students of political science as an example of absolute corruption, but today her principles of government are precisely those which were laid down by your Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln. China has at last come to realize that she must keep pace with the forward march of modern nations and that she must win her place in the council of nations to which her history, her civilization, and the inherent worth of her people have given her a right to aspire. PRESERVED chix.vs integrity, 'The story of China’s progress, however, does not stand by itself alone.' But it is one which is inseparably connected with that of the unselfish American spirit. History has shown that it was through your country the noble spirit of your country that Chinas integrity was preserved and live politically “within the law,” these and other facts and events showed the way the wind was blowing. NEW PARTY INSPIRED BY ROOSEVELT. Then Republican Progressivism crystallized in a new party organized, inspired and led by one of America’s master minds, Theodore Roosevelt. The National Progressive platform embodied three principles—first, a belief in the right and ability of the people to exercise sovereign power, second, a belief in the application to government of the modern business principles of scientific specialization and centralized control, and third, an application to politics of the same code of moral purity that is applied to private relations. This organization wrought not for itself, but for the people, it was the first great party to recognize the existence of women and women workers, the first to advocate a complete program of social justice and clean government that could not be discarded as too idealistic or too social. istic. In four short months it stood the second party in America, four millions strong. HAPPY AUGURY FOR FUTURE. “This wing of Progressivism, now triumphant, gives happy augury of the future. Democrats and Progressives alike combine in a revolt against privilege to secure clean and efficient popular government. The Wilson inaugural and the belief of the president has expressed in his recent work “The New Freedom,” give promise of his sympathy and cooperation with those who work for social and industrial betterment. At the President's right hand stands the man who dared to be progressive when it was unpopular, who from his first entrance into public life has always labored courageously and altruistically for what he conceived to be the cause of the people, the man who is the foremost spokesman of the plain American citizen—William Jennings Bryan. And at the head of the National Progressive party is a leader who is striving with all his great influence and personality to make this government pure and strong, responsible to the people, truly representative, who rather than violate the highest concepts of morality, would even amend the Constitution, and who believes that human justice is more than institutional tradition. His is the spirit. It incarnate of the Progressive movement. Her progress was made possible. You will remember how at the stirring period of China's awakening, the European powers aided by little Japan were contemplating to partition China, how she was then as helpless as Poland before 1772, and how your secretary, John Hay, stepped in with a motive, pure and unselfish, proclaimed the words "territorial integrity." "Open door," and he saved China. Mr. Hay has certainly in him the spirit of Monroe, our famous protector, and his name will be undoubtedly written large in the history of the far east. In 1854, when the powers were planning to make China the fiscal vassal of foreign nations for an infinite period, Mr. Hay again stepped forth and refused to consent to such an oppressive indemnity and nobly declared that "whatever of the indemnity finally imposed was not covered by the American losses should be returned to China." Such was the work of Mr. Hay; it will not be too much to credit him with the name, the saviour and protector of China. In 1904 further service was rendered.

After the war, neither Russia nor Japan were to have a slice of China's territory. Continuing the policy of John Hay, Mr. Roosevelt, at the Peace of Portsmouth secured from them acknowledgment that the doctrines of open-door and territorial integrity should be observed. The policy of the United States, then, has been to protect China's integrity against the selfish interests of some aggressive powers and in pursuing this policy she has gained an enviable place in the hearts of the Chinese people. In the opium crusade, Far-sighted America, however, has gone further than to purely preserve China's integrity. Sympathizing with China, she has gained an enviable position in the hearts of the Chinese people. The opium crusade started by the Chinese themselves, she took the initiative, and invited all nations to join her in the meeting of the famous international opium commission at Shanghai. In 1909, the commission met and came to unanimous declarations which were made conventional at the recent Hague conference. The end of the opium habit is in view. America is entitled to the credit of having convinced Christian England of her sin in forcing the opium trade on China. Again, when China was struggling under financial difficulties in sending her students abroad, one of the United States national generosity here came a remission of a part of the Boxer indemnity. Such a generous act of America is significant and its results will be far-reaching. There are already hundreds of these so-called indemnity fund students here in this country, and thousands more will be sent until 1940. When these students return and become leaders in the regeneration of China, they will be loyal not only to China, but to the country where their alma mater is. And in them will exist ‘a mighty bond of union and an unwritten alliance between China and America.’ FRIENDSHIP PROTECTION, A1p 4 TRUISM. From what has been said one cannot but admit that America's attitude towards China has been one of friendship, protection, and altruism. She has every reason to claim that history has given her the right to the title of China's best friend. But, friends, think not that your country has wasted time, money, and energy. She has not. On the other hand, she has sown the right seeds on the Chinese soil. She has followed a sound and far-sighted policy in her dealing with the Celestial kingdom. To cultivate China's friendship is the best investment America can have, when you come to understand that the 20th century is pre-eminently one of commercialism. Trade with China is a prize, eagerly sought by every commercial and manufacturing country. With teeming millions, China offers an unsurpassed market to the world. But who will eventually have the major part of this unsurpassed market? Will Japan have it when she has bullied and robbed China for generations? Will Russia (have it when she has brought galling mischief in Manchuria and Mongolia? Or will England have it, when she has unjustly taken Hong Kong and Wei-Hai-Wel and sinfully protected the importation of Indian opium to China? No! They will not. China is not insensitive and forgetful. She has her record-book. All the nations will reap what they have sown, and America will have her just reward.
