LETT Is HOPE NOT.

The discovery reported to have been
made that the st. Lawrence river is Iack-
ing at places in sufficient depth to en-
able vessels of fourteen feet draft to nav
igate its waters is of course a most I'M
porta1t event, if it should be proven to
be true. That no suspicion of any such
condition has existed so far as the public
know, until recently, would seem to in
dictate that there is something else in
volved in the situation just at this time
besides the reputed inability of the Buff
fale syndicate to get sufficient depth of
water in which to operate their steamers.
The Canadian water route to the ocean
has always been menace to American
shipping interests. Should the project
imputed to this Buffalo syndicate of
chartering steamers for the purpose of
carrying products direct from the great
American inland seas to the ocean ever
be put in active operation, it will be an
event OF almost international Importance.
Those who look forward to the time
when vessels loaded at our lake ports
will make foreign trips and return. with
out breaking bulk, will wish that the re-
port about the insufficiency of the st.
Lawrence river stall prove to b. unfound-
ed. Hardly anything short of the GER
tainty that Canada is likely to secure a
monopoly of that kind OF commerce Will
suffice to cause American public men
fa t4nrOlNa
againt national development which is
involved in the absence of q. ship canal
from lake to ocean through American
territory
The Canadian government has done It's
full duty, and much more than could be
reasonably expected, to render such a
route available to shippers. There is no
doubt that if it should be found that there
are distractions in the ST. Lawrence
which prevent its navigation by the re-
quired vessels it viii find a way 10y
remedying the situation. Americans will
be glad to learn that the fourtcen-foot
passage is in existence, and that for
eign grain shipments will pass in the
mass TO that route. Whatever loss it
may entail for the time upon American
interests will be more than compensated
for by the gain to the world which will
result if the federal authorities are ever
brought to true understanding of the
gravity of the obligation which is i'm
posed on them to give the commerce Of
the country a free waterway to and from
the heart of the continent through the
Great Lakes.

This tendency Of outraged communities
to take the law into their own hands
is alarming in itself and in the Iapidity
with which the centasion is spread. The
latest outbreak was at Rockport, Ind,

lynched two eolored Rurderers. So~far
rs tho crime of the lynchers is concerned,
il is immaterial whether their victims
were guilty or innocent. These respecta-
bic citizens, for only respectable citizens
do such things of late, had no more right

they had to shoot the sheriff to death or
to hang the leading minister of the place.
