THE TWO ENDS OF THE LAKES

Hearing that Chicago will go be- fore Congress with a request that its drainage canal be so changed as to admit of navigation between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi, many New York state papers are up in arms. The scheme calls for flowing stream, not one with locks, and this they assert with good reason, would lower the general level of all the lakes except Superior, affecting every wharf and harbor. Already there have been complaints, some of them from Canadian interests, against ef- fleets on the lake level which Chica- gos present canal is said to have produced. The people of New York State, however, have a peculiar in terest in the matter. At the cost of $lOO, 100000 they are now engaged in deepening the Erie canal, a water way which the Chicago-Mississippi scheme threatens with serious con- petition. "It would be the height of injustice" declares the Schenectady Gazette, that, after having con- structed at our expense a canal that should have been built by the Fed eral government, we should lose any of the business to be rightfully eX- pected from it. The canal connecting Chicago and the Mississippi would divert some, perhaps considerable trade from our own barge canal to the detriment of New York and Buffalo. New York should protest strenuously against the scheme There is reason in this, and yet New York may expect some form of Chicago-Mississipp ship canal built with Federal aid at no distant date. The benefits of such a waterway would be far more widely distribut- ed than those of the Erie. canal, wide though the latter are. Moreover the Erie cannot in any event es- cape serious competition with other ditches, for Canada is even now preparing to dig two important new ones in addition to the existing Well land canal. New York's veto on the plan of Mississippi outlet is effective today, but there can be little doubt that the near future will tell a diff terent story.

GERMAN SHIPBUILDING

German shipbuilding last year shows another distinct advance. Sev- en hundred and sixty vessels, with a gross tonnage of 39S,000, left German yards in 1906, against 646 vessels with one of 310,000 in 1905. These figures of course, compare very unfavorably with the magnificent totals of British yards, but what German builders are proud of is the fact that their trade is increasing by leaps and bounds, and that they have more orders than they can execute Of the total ton mage of the year 30,S31 tons belonged to the navy.
 It is worth noting that foreign yards, especially British builders, have built more ships to German orders than in any previous year. The ton mage built abroad for Germany was over l20,000. The Post, from which .tkise particulars are taken, complains th3r>German orders for vessels to for eign shipbuilders last year were five times as large as orders of foreigners for ships built i'll Germany.

SOME PRISON STATISTICS.

These interesting figures, relating to the prison population of the United States are collated from recent Gen. sus Bulletin. On June 30, 1904, there were S1,772 sane persons over five years of age in civil prisons, eXclu- sive of juvenile delinquents in special institutions for that class, and of those imprisoned for non payment of fines. This was l,O06 persons to each mil lion of estimated population. The num- Der in 1890 was only 66,S03, but this was 1.067 per million, so that while there was d positive increase there was relative decrease. This is not to be taken as showing a decrease in crime, for in the fourteen years in tervening between the two dates, var ious measures of leniency had tend ed to diminish the number of prison CTS. This affected women more than men. In 1890 women were 7.S per cent of the prisoners, while in 1904 they were only 5.5 per cent.
 Of the prisoners in 1904 cOlOred per- sons formed 326 per cent as compar- ed with 30.4 per cent in 1890. An in crease was found in all the geograph ic divisions of the country, except in the South Atlantic and the Western. In the North Central States it increas- ed from 14.2 to 20.5 per cent. On the other hand, the number of foreign born whites in prison diminished from 28.3 per cent of the total white prison CTS to 23.7 per cent. Of course, the percentage of the native whites in- creased correspondingly. This change is common to all sections.
 The number of juvenile delinquents. which are considered separately, in creased from 14,S46 in 1890 to 23,O34 in 1904, or 55.2 per cent, much more than the increase in population. This
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-09-25

is not necessarily due to an increase of crime among this class of the popu- lation, but rather to the creation of new institutions for juveniles and the extension of the functions of those previously existing. The colored juvenile delinquents were 13.3 per cent, of the whole number, while ths colored people form 12.1 per cent of the general population. But it is eX- plained that the bulk of the colored population is in States where little provision is made for juvenile offend CTS.
 Of the offeuses for which juvenile
 were committed to prison larceny ranks first, nearly one-fourth being committed for that. For incorrig1bil- ity POP per cent were committed; for truancy. 1O.3; for burglary, "A; for disorderly conduct, 6.S; for vagrancy. 6; for assault, 1.9, and for robbery, II. per cent. In the North Atlantic and North Central divisions, larceny was the most common crime, and in the South Central vagrancy.

THE SOUTH IS PROSPEROUS

It is reassuring to note that none of the pessimistic assertions con- corning business conditions come from the South It may be that money is somewhat scarce, but there is no difficulty in securing, upon good terms, all that is needed for legitimate enterprises. The southern factories are busy, crops are good and everybody who wants to work '%.can get it. The towns are growing rapidly and the rural districts increasing ill popula
 tion correspondingly. People are cOntented except in few states where they have been stirred up by the bawls of the pestiferous dema- gogue who, unfortunately, is not alone a product of the South. The fore, but ther is a steady, solid basis. There are no booms which may break and leave towns and cities in worse condition than be- fore, but ther is a steady, solid growth. There is nothing in any part of the South that portends di- saster, says the Fort Smith Times.

CONNECTS ORDERED
 TO STATE FARM
One Hundred and Seventy.Fiye Con. victS to Be Used in Harvesting Cotton Crop at the County
 Plantation.

The Penitentiary Board held an in. formal meeting yesterday in the gov- ernOr,s office, and ordered that 17o cOnvictS be transferred from the camps of lessees to the state farm in Lincoln county for the purpose of picking the cotton on the farm, says the Little Rock Gazette. The mem. bers of the board present were: Gov. ernor Pindall, Secretary of State Ludwig, Attorney General Kirby and Commissioner Guy B. Tucker.
 Governor Pindall moved that 100 men be taken from the Reeves camp, and 100 from the Dickinson camp The motion was lost, Governor Pin dall voting aye and Attorney General Kirby no, Ludwig and Tucker not vot- ] ing.
 General Kirby moved that 150 men 1 be taken from the Dickinson camp and 90 from the Reeves camp. Secretary Ludwig amended the motion to take the full 200 men from the Dickinson | camp, which was accepted by Gen. eral Kirby. The motion was lost, Ludwig and Kirby voting in the s~> firmative and Pindall and Tucker in the negative.
 MT. Tucker asked Superintendent Pitcock if 175 men would not keep up with the picking, in addition to the 75 men and IS women he already had on the farm if he, Pitcock, would send all the men he received from the diff. ferent courts to the farm. On being answered in the affirmative Mir. Tuck CT moved that 125 men be taken from the Dickinson camp and 50 men from the Reeves contract
 Superintendent Pitcock explained that Reeves had one camp of 50 men, i and it would be as we'll to take that number from Reeves and the rest from Dickinson. Upon this explana- tion Mir. Tucker agreed that 115 men be taken from Dickinson and 60 from Reeves. Upon this motion Governor Pindall and MT. Tucker voted in the affirmative, and General Kirby in the negative, MT. Ludwig not voting. Mir. Tucker explained that the courts were in session all over the state and
