PROTECT NIAGARA FALLS.

NTy-WA \ mis- recent message TO congress PRESIDENT
D. II Roosevelt urged strongly the need Of taking
INH Faction to protect Niagara falls from the agen-
EGA-k cies now threatening it's destruction. He rec
kSaz%NNe commended that the State of New York, IL it.
ESz9Ycz@k self unable to protect the falls, should follow
- the example of California in the case of the
Yosemite valley and place this great natural attraction in
the keeping Of the national government. AS the only way
In which assured protection can be secured for the falls
Is through the cooperation of the American and Canadian
an agitation to keep the subject before Congress and Sc
cure action upon it at this session.
The American people who regard Niagara with just
pride as one Of the great scenic wonders of their country
and of the world, will be practically unanimous in their
approval of this movement. The idea that the falls
should be sacrificed to commercial vandalism is obnoxious,
but that apparently must be their fate unless something
is done Immediately. Ten power developing companies
four American and six Ca~nadian-already have obtained
authorization to utilize more than IS per cent Of the eff
fectlve power of the falls. II their plans are put through
the American cataract will be wiped out. II they sue
coed In drawing of only half the authorized amount of
water the American fall will be only a thin trickle Of
water passing over bare rock.
If the falls are to be saved no time should be lost In
arresting the process OF destruction. The American peo-
pie, through Congress, should intervene with measures
which will stop the despoliation and insure the permanent
preservation Of the cataract under the joint protection of
Canada and the United States. The essential thing is
that Congress act promptly. To delay, even until another
session, may postpone the necessary protective action
until the time for saving the falls has passed-Chicago

ooETHE's CANAL PROPHECY
Poets Views Concerning an Isthmian
Canal Which Are to Be
Realized.

In February, 1927, Goethe, in CONVEX
sation with his secretary, Eckermann,
in speaking of the canal which might
some day be put through the Isthmus of
Panama, said:
'All this is reserved for the future
and for an enCerprising spirit. So much,
however, is certain, that ii they succeed
in cutting such canal, that ships of
any size and burden can be navigated
through it from the Mexican gulf to tho
Pacific ocean, innumerable benefits
would result to the whole human race.
ciilized and uncivilized. But I should
wonder if the United States were to let
an opportunity escape of getting such
work into their own hands. 1t may be
foreseen that this young state, with it's
decided predilectian to the west, will in
80 or 40 years have occupied and peopled
the large tract of land beyond the Rocky
mountains. 1t may, Furthermore, be
foreseen that along the whole coast of
the Pacific ocean, where nature has al
ready formed the most capacious and Sc
cure harbors, important commercial
towns will gradually arise, for the fur
therance of a great watercourse between
China and the East Indies and the Unit
ed States. In such a case it would not
only be desirable but also necessary that
more rapid communication should be
maintained between the eastern and
western shores of North America, both
by merchant ships and men-of. war, than
mas hitherto been possessed W it'll the te-
dlous, disagreeable and expensive voy-
age round Cape Horn. | therefore re-
peat that it is absolutely indispensable
Tor the United States to effect a passage
from the Mexican gulf to the Pacific
ocean, and l. am certain that they will
DO 1t. Would that might live to see an
ctner thlng-a junction. of the Danube
and the Rhine. But this undertaking
is SO gigantic that have doubts of it's
completion, when / consider our Ger
man resources. And, thirdly and last
ly, should wish to see England in
possession of a canal through the
lsthmus of Suez. Would l could live
to see these three great works. 1t
would be we'll worth the trouble to last
some so years more for the very pur-
pose"
A few years befole this, states the
Boston Transcript, we find Lord Byron,
between whom and Goethe there was
an intellectual affinity making the ac-
quaintance of young North Ameri-
can for the reason that he wished to
know what manner of men the rulers
of the world a hundred years thence
would be. In less than hundred years
we see the United States a great Pa
cific power and clearing the way for
the completion of the canal; England
is in possession of the Suez canal, and
the great peace conference successful
ly held at Portsmouth. Goethe's fore
sight is admirable. 1t may be remem-
bered that Napoleon sold Louisiana to
the United States in order to raise up
maritime power which should eclipse
Great Britain. We certainly have ac-
quired plenty of ocean, but we need
more ships for commerce and to send
through the canal when it is built

THE REBOZoS OF MEXICO.
Fine Article of Apparel Made by
Men Who Do Excellent
Needlewor1.

+. w. Schreiba Of the City Of Next
co, here on his way to Europe, gave an
interesting account of tho manufacture
of silk shawls, known as rebozos, in
which industry he is largely engaged.
He predicted, says the New York
Sun, that the Mexican silk shawls
would soon come into general use
among wealthy women of the United
States. They have long been in use
among ladies of Mexico.
''The silk rebozos which ] manufac-
ture are about seven feet long and
three feet wide," he said. 'They are
the headwear for all occasions in the
southern part of Mexico and especial
ly in Yucatan.
''Most of the women think that to
be without a good silk rebozo is very
much like giving an open declaration
that they do not amount to much in
social circles. The rebozo is approDri-
ate for everything from funeral to
festival, and one will last woman
nearly lifetime. A good one costs
$28 N Mexican money.
'The most popular colors are black
and white, white and green and pink
and black. A great many cotton and
mixed shawls are now being manufac-
tured, but no matter now well the
work of weaving the mixed materials
is done, or how fine the grades of cot
ton used, the commonest Mexican can
detect the difference We import all
of the silk from Japan.
There are six or seTen factories in
San Luis Potosi and the surrounding
country. They dye it and make it into
the finest sewing silk the natives can
handle, and these can work with what
an American woman could not see.
"The thread is sold to the natives,
and entire families who live near the
factories do nothing but make shawls.
1t seems rather peculiar to see a man
quit farm work to do the finest and
most difficult needlework, but they do
it. The average family can make two
dollars day, Mexican money, with
every member working.
On the factories there are frames
on which four men work on shawl
at the same time. One frame will
turn cut ten shawls N week. There
is considerable trade with American
tourists now carried on in Mexico. The
tourists buy the rebozos as curios."
