COMMERCE or
THE GREAT LAKES


Americas greatest waterway. the
Great Lakes, Is showing a yearly in
crease in commerce. The volume for
1907. according to the bureau of sta
dsdcs OF the department of com
merce and labor, shows a 10 per cent
increase over that of the previous
year and a 20 per cent Increase as
compared TO 1905. At this ratio the
Great Lakes will in a few years be-
come one of the busiest channels
or trade in the world.
Last year commerce reached the
unprecedented total of SO, 2S7.eI9 net
tons. The increase is due mainly TO
the larger ore and coal shipments
though the movement of grain and
miscellaneous merchandise shows
larger totals than for the preceflinr
season. the only items showing small
er shipments being lumber and fIour.
The iron ore shipments for the wear

THE REAL REMEDY
LIES IN EDUCATION.

Editor, Pensacola journal:
Ii you will permit me, would like
! to make a few remarks in regard to
Rev. Mr. Sibley's article ON the most
eminent question of the day: What
is a man to do who is out of work IN
financial crisis and is starving?
In my judgment there are but few
people nowadays that know-that Is,
the people who think.
1t is quite true that we human be-
ings a-tifcially create all the trouble
we have.
We regulate and talk ourselves into
all our miseTieS.
In declaring that our whole system
of criticfsing each other is an unfor-
tunate inheritance from the regime of
despctism, it is well to define my use

finding and opposition to the ideals,

to live his life in his own way. and
those who. understand how progress
depends upon differences, know well
how necessary>it is that peop'e should
not be adj alike, nor even all good or
all wise There is under our present
system and racial custom but one way
to avoid the sharp tongue of criticism,
viz, say nothing and do nothing.
The almost universal Illus on IN re.
gard to criticism IS that it is an aid
to progress, whereas Il is the one
great obstacle in the way of progress.
Criticism undermines forces, and
frequently destroys the movement that
would bring about pro9reSs.
