REHIHAL OF CANALS

No inconsiderable stir has been made
IN New York over the discovery that
large shipments of grain from the west
have been lately diverted to Montreal,
and the tendency in this direction
seems to be increasing. The reason for
this phenomenon is not only obvious
but humiliating to New Workers.. 1t is
owing primarily to the development of
the Canadian canals. So marked is the
superiority of traffic facilities by Ca
madam waterways over those of tie
Erie canal, that it has been proposed,
half in jest yet with a flavor of Sc
robustness, to abandon the Erie entirely.
as hopelessly outclassed in competi-
ton.
1t is possible, for instance, to lead
ocean-going steamers with grain at
Chicago, float them through the great
lakes, the Canadian canals and the s..
Lawrence, and deliver their cargoes IN
England without transhipment of any
kind. AT present the canal around the
river rapids and that connecting Lake
Erie and Lake Ontario will admit YES
sells of only fourteen feet draught, but
plans for deepening are under way,
and the energy with which the Cana
dian government pushes matters Of
this kind, indicates that the improve
ment will be forthcoming. Even now
the Canadian canals are far in adj
vance of the Erie canal, with its depth
of only nine feet, which floats merely
barges to New York, where one tran
shipment and sometimes two, are nee
essary.
Last year there was noticeable 7e-
cline in the commerce of New York.
when compared with the growth of
other ports, and the fact helped to urge
forward the plans for improving the
harbor. But it appears that this
awakening will not suffice if the CITY
is to maintain it's position as CONNER
cial metropolis of the western world.
There will have to be an. end to job
berry and sloth in the management of
internal waterways. The day of ca
nails once seemed to have passed, but
the advance in modern engineering
skill and the growth of commerce have
brought them into use again The great
lakes and the st. Lawrence are the
natural outlet for western commerce,
and bring it naturally to the docks at
Montreal. If New York would keep
firm hold upon that commerce, she win
have to utilize that outlet herself and
find cheaper ways than railroads and
better ways than the shallow Erie
ditch for connecting. link.

D1EEERENr POINTS or VIEW.

Opinions differ as to the significance
and merit of Dagnan- Bouverets paint
ing Of Christ and the disciples at En-
maus, but public interest in the picture
remains undated. When it is with
drawn, Wednesday, it will leave a gap
at the museum which the exhibition of
laquers and oriental and modern Euro
pean porcelains will hardly fill. Ger
tain it is that no picture the manage
ment has ever brought to the museum
has aroused criticisms so spontaneous,
confident and conflicting.
The point of view differs with the in
dividual What strikes one man
as LUMINOSITY clear, another finds
unintelligible; what to one is devoutly
mystical. to another is spectacular;
that which one holds natural and sim
pie, another considers strained.
The eye sees what it brings with it
the power of seeing. The free thinker,
to whom Jesus is a myth, looks at this
picture of the risen Lord with very diff
ferent eyes from the believer, who sees
in it the redeemer of mankind, Very
God of Very God, a tender. holy mys-
terry, none the less authentic for being
inexplicable. none the less adorable be-
cause incomprehensible. But the ma
jority are neither sceptics nor devo-
tees. They take their religion as they
take their nationality, or their COM
plexion, or the stature Of their bodies,
with a passive acceptance of what
providence, circumstances, fate, luck,
heredity-what you will-has seen fit
to give them. We are born into Chris
tianity. as we are born into the love of
our earthly parents. and we take the
stupendous assurances and ideals of
the one no less stolidly and ungracIous-
ly than we are won't to claim and take
the other.
Christianity is like a coin, once es-
teemed and valued for its intrinsic
worth and beauty-a coin with a mir
aculous message Of gracious love
wrought around its border. We have
handled it so much that the message
has lost its force. the lines have lost
their beauty, and we can afford to I'm

SUBSCRIPTION LISTS.

There are very few papers in this
country, certainly none outside the
largest cities, which are as widely cir
culated as The Spy. It's subscription
lists are cosmopolitan. There are read
ers of The Spy in every state in the
union and in all the large cities. In and
about New York they are numerous.
The Spy's subscription lists also bear
the names of readers in all the prin-
cipal countries of Europe, some in Asia,
and In the new possessions of the
United States. Wherever newspapers
are circulated to any extent, The Wor-
cester Spy is known. Such clientele
is obtained only by length of years and
by reputation for responsibility and
reliability such as The Spy has ever
maintained. A newspapers subscription
lists are always a source of pride to the
publishers, and The Spy's lists are es-
pecially so. 1t can truthfully be said of
newspapers, that by their subscription
lists We shall know them. There the ad-
vertiser can judge of the worth of the
publication as a medium for placing his
wares before the public, and judging
from the pressure for advertising
space in The Spy, the nature Of its sub
scription lists is not altogether I'M
known to those who have goods for sale
which they wish to dispose of quickly.

ger it carelessly, even insolently, Fa-
miliarity has bred contempt. So we go
to Marcus Aurelius and Plato, to Bud
dha and Epictetus, and exclaim over
the treasures we there unearth, for the
| coinage is from another mint and its
fresh form carries conviction. There
are people for whom every other Bible
than ours, the words of every other
great teacher than Christ, and the life
of every other, convey more appealing
message of spiritual beauty than his.
Aside from any thought of the right
or wrong of the matter, such people
make mistake, because they are sys-
tematically robbing themselves of one
of the great sources of joy and beauty
in the world. The gatherings of science
and the change in mems mental and
emotional temperaments make it in
creasingly difficult to accept many of
the accomplishments of the Christ
story, but there never was a time when
the loveliness, the surprising beauty of
Christ shone out more radiant, more
triumphant, or when the beatific vision
of him was more necessary to the world.
AS the inspirer to unselfish and siren
uous living, as the friend of man and
the object of a passionate devotion, as
the ideal and elder brother of one COM
mon race, he is one of the fountain
heads of modern aspiration and
achievement along all the higher lines
that it is moral suicide to cut oneself
off from. The thought of Jesus is ons
that it is rood to live in. We cannot
afford to live without it.

but far in advance of the capacity of

An odd case for the courts to settle
has been presented by Miss Elizabeth
Lufkin, a West Medford school teacher,
who prays for an injunction to restrain
the Congregational church from lex
communicating" her and denying her
the standing of a member. She AYERS
that she has been illegally deprived of
both property rights and religious priv
ileges, while on the other hand, the
church people assert that she had been
convicted of ''un-Christian and disor-
derby conduct and denied membership
according to the prescribed manner. It
is charged that she has circulated UNI
truthful and injurious stories concern
ing other members, absented herself
from church and contributed nothing
to the support of the services for a year
or more, and these offenses constitute
violation of the covenant. The point
of law concerning proprietorship in the
church played prominent part in the
Unitarian revolt during the first half
Of the century. Violation of the cove
nant. however, may be a question of
both fact and law.

The Germans are little hasty in
jumping at the conclusion that Admiral
Kautz has been recalled as a result of
dissatisfaction with his course in Sa-
moa, or because of private correspond
ence which his friends have foolishly

that the government has asked him to
come home so that Uncle Sam may give
him what is known as the glad hand"
and honor him with a good position, as
it has Capt. Coghlan whom the Ger
mans wanted disciplined for his frank
statement Of unpleasant facts. The
Germans seem to lack good eye for
