Politics AND THE CANALS.
Eight Points OF General Interest Clearly
and Conciseiy stated.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir. Thero
are many important facts concerning tho
canals which seem TO be generally accepted
by engineers and persons well informed
OH such subjects. and which have never en-
gagged the attention OF the voting public
These facts are briefly as follows;
1. That the economic use OF barge canals
under New York State conditions has long
since become impossible
2. That the canals have long ceased 10
be an appreciable factor In the prosperity OF
the state or Its cities and that no engineering
skill or public expenditure can ever restore
to any Of them the value which has been lost.
3. That the gross receipts by boatmen nre
now about one-third Of the maintenance cos4
to the state, and that all further expendi-
lures. small or large, must increase this dis
crepancy instead Of diminishing 1t.
4. That if the proposed iOOO-ton canal was
to-day complete 1t would pay no one 10 build
any large number of boats to operate upon it.
S. That the terminal facilities nre made
ouate to any large trade. and tina, the small
holders who operate canal boats are and will
continue TO be at the mercy of the corpora
lions engaged In railway and Lake carrying
trade.
9. That reasonably expeditions canal for
seaaoing ships from New York to the Lakes
would be work Of vast magnitude, and that
the construction OF the proposed barge canal
would In no way facilitate such an undertake
ing, if 1t was ever begun
I. That the construction Of the proposed
canal will involve the imponndinG OF vast
Quantities or natural water. and CONSEQUENT
injury 10 our forests. lakes and streams,
And finally. that this great work has not
heen nlanned and designed by a strong and

The Tag That Weighs Tons.
From the Boston Ddiiy Advertiser

From the Bosfon Ddtty Adrsrfisr.
The situation in New York has cleared up
enough so that about everybody in the State
expects the defeat of Lieutenant Governor
Higgins, the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. And II this comes about the candidate
as himself to thank. Higgins's one chance to
become the next Governor of New York was
when he took the nomination. As the party's
candidate 1t was his moral right TO say
whether Odell should be campaign manager.
He said not one word againsti it. And the pub
lie could infer only that he was satisfied to leave
things as they were. The national leaders
hoped that he would protest. If he had done
so, they stood ready to bring into New York
all the men and money that Higgins might
ask for; to stand by him in such public fashion
that the whole nation would know that he
had the Presidents support. And IL would
have been absolutely certain that about every
vote cast for Roosevelt would be for Hig-
gins too. Election day is less than four weeks
away. now, and he can easily figure UP on
Nov. the vote he might have had II he had
only stuck to the resolution he made Mt Oyster
Bay to repudiate Odell-

Road Etiquette in New Jersey.

side OF the road. II the gentleman who wrote that

show road etiquette, he would open his eyes IN
amazement. Time and time again motorists have
to stop their and ark and plead for the horse
driver TO pull over on his own side OF the road
the car can pass. And time and again DO they
throw insulting remarks at you, such as When
did you buy this road!" What do you want-tho

generally by a string Of cuss words.
II seems that In New Jersey II a man owns an
automobile he Is set down Immediately a road

Brandy is mostly French or California
product, but, with exceptions, it is English
men who drink it in New York brandy
and soda being recognized English drink,
most popular with tourists II it were not
for New Englanders. there would be little
call for rum, except by West Indians and

drink, drink Medrord when visiting New
York; others drink St. Croix In hotels
or saloons near railroad or ferry there Is
a demand for cider. 1t is the drink of the
York State" folks when in town New
York cider deserves it's high reputation and
its popularity among upstate visitors and
has withstood the competition OF fancy
drinks. beer and highballs. In the few
neighborhoods where Hollanders or Swiss
residents are numerous there is call for
gin; Rhine wine" either from Rhineland,
Ohio or Missouri, is drink OF Germans.
Irish visitors are the chief patrons of old
and new ale mixed ale), the divider and
disturber Of many an otherwise friendly
and neighborly party Of the we'll disposed
The popularity OF highballs has superseded
much of the demand for brandy and mixed
drinks in New York. Yarmouth has largely
superseded brandy IA an appetizer. The
tradition which ascrbes to Southerners
and to Virginians monopoly Of mint jul
leps is a tradition and nothing else. Mar
tial strangers from Tennessee and kentucky
retain their preference for corn whiskey.
Hungarians drink slivovitz, and the few
Mericans hereabouts disregard their own
national drink, pulquc, for something or
ANYTHING more distinctively American.
Perceptibly the amount of liquor imbbed
in New York city declines, but recent dis
closures do not indicate that as the quantity
consumed declines the quality improves.

An Oriental scheme From which

An oriental notion for an elaborate

canopy Of flowers and greenery
stretched over the table, with, hanging
from it, tiny japanese lanterns, each
of a different shape, but none larger
than from two to four inches. In ap-

canopy is said to be exceedingly ef-
fective. 1t is supported at the four
corners by slender pedestals. from
which the roots Of the tree are sup
posed to spring. The pedestals are ar
ranged not quite at the table corners,
but something like ten inches away.
A dwarf japanese cedar stands In the
middle. and a few tiny bamboos and
cocoa palms dot the table, with here
and there a spray thrown down Of ap-
pie blossom. The menus ase written

open, and both doilies and table nap
