MExlCO's INLAND WATERWAY.
Canal 104 Miles Long Between TampIcc
and Tuxpam Built by an American.

Tuxram, Mex.-The Mexican gov
ernment is building an inland water
way 104 miles long to connect the
ports Of Tampico and Tuxpam. 1t is
now about one-half finished and will
cost about $5,000,000 Mexican money,
which is equivalent to $2,500,OOO gold.
1t Is IS feet wide and has uniform
depth Of 1914 feet. The first division
OF 66 miles is now practically finished
and IS open for traffic. 1t is expected
that the waterway will be opened all
the way through for small boats with
IN two years.
This waterway runs within from two
to five miles Of the gulf along it's
whole length. It's construction grew
out Of the fact that there are frequent
ly days at time when small boats
engaged tn cOastWise trade are unable
to weather the rough water of the
gulf and that there is insufficient wa
ter over the bar at the mouth of the
Tuxpa1n river at times to enable the
boats to reach the harbor at Tuxpam.
Another great incentive that led to
tho building Of the canal was that it
would be the means of developing a
broad agricultural region that has
haretofure been badly lacking in trans
portatiOn Facilities for it's various
products.
The Tampjco-Tuxpam canal follows
the route Of an inland waterway which
has been in use for more than three
quarters Of a century.
Capt. Charles Shillaber of Chicago
is constructing the canal for the Mex
lean government on percentage

He had made a comfortable fortune,
had just reached his sixtieth year and
had planned to spend the remainder
OF his life in comfort and enjoyment.

OUR LYNCHING RECORD.
Better Showing for the Year Than
for some Time Past.

Prom the Boston Transcript
The Iynching record in this country for
1907 shows a reduction Of about % per
cent over th9t Of the year previous. For
this we should be thankful. but the blot
still remains. Fifty-siX persons were done
to death by mObs. and all of these crimes
took place in the Southern and South
western States. The victims were fifty
two negroes and four white men. The
usual cause. proved or alleged, account
ed for fewer than a third Of the number
One was killed for being the father OF a
boy who jOstled a white woman; another
for being victor over a white man IN a
fight; one for expressing sympathy with a
mob's victim. and a negro woman and
her son were shot for the crime of the
husband and father, whom the mob could
not find. Even debt Of 50 was accepted
in one case as being a sufficient excuse
for visiting the extreme penalty upon the
debtor Alabama led In this bad eminence
with thirteen victims; Mississippi came
next with twelve, and Louisiana and
Georgia followed with eight and six, re-
spectively. Florida and North Carolina
went through the year with a clean rec
ord. Oklahoma had hardly been a State
for month when her people put TO death
two men without due process Of law. On
the whole the tendency is toward i'm
provement One of the arguments for
such general adoption of a prohibition
policy as has taken place in that section
was that the passions of men would not
be so readily infiamed and find vent in
mob lawlessness. 1t will be interesting to
observe through results for the coming
year the value Of this argument.

Washington's DisgracefuI Position.

Washington. the Capital of the Nation
seems destined TO occupy a most un-
enviable, even disgracefuI, position. Every
other city is suppressing. or has sup
pressed. race-rack gambling.
Chicago. supposedly the most wicked of
American cities, years ago closed the
tracks, and would have no more OF the
demoralizing pastime. Here, with all its
attendant evils. race-track gambling is
legalized, sanctioned. and made respeeta-
bic.
Chicago, determining 70 suppress the
evil for the public good. permitted no
obstacles to interpose. Here the authori-
ties. weak hearted or out of sympathy
with the periodical attempts to stop gam
bling, have proved utterly impotent, and
been laughed at for their pains.
Chicago was not the pioneer in the
anti-race-track gambling crusade. other
cities took the Initiative long before.
Chicago's example is cited simply to make
Washington's case appear In its ugliest
light.
Now comes Gov. Hughes. an honest
courageous executive. who proposes 10
substitute imprisonment for fines IN or
der to abolish race-tTack gambling in
New York State. He draws no line he
tween the iashy bookmaker AID the
common criminal. and would treat them
alike.
Gov Hughes gives no official sanction
to public gambling orgies which Washing
ton, the Capital of the Nation, twice a
year-spring and autumn-not only per-
mits but promotes.
How long will this state Of affairs con-
tinue? Until the courts finally pass upon
certain legal technicalities involved, you
say. Possibly so. But how long do you
suppose it would last II President Roose-
welt should happen 10 tell Police Super

Some day. perhaps, President Roosevelt
like Gov. Hughes, will give the word. He
is sure to give it, if he only gets his mind
on the disgraceful situation. At least, we
think so.
