an Associated Press dispatch Civ
ing the remarks OF ex-Secrctary
OF the Treasury Shaw, a republi-
can and a corporation worshiper
who has no peer as subservient
tool of organized capital. He is
bright, possessing sufficient brains
to make him useful to the powers
he has decided to serve. And Mr..
Shaw is alarmed. The college
teachers, their graduating pupils,
the preachers and the newspapers,
also the entire list of speakers
who are working for the Chautau-
qua bureaus are all talking social
ism. At least that is what
Brother Shaw says. In this prop
aganda he sees omens of evil.
The Libraries are full of socialist
literature says Mr. Shaw. in a

1t was in 1912, If we remember cor
rectly, that the Erie canal was com
pletei and its opening celebrated with
the greatest enthusiasm in New York.
It was the making of that city; be-
cause it opened an ocean port to the
great grain fields Of the west, and
that port at once became the shipping
station of the country
Some startling figures, however,
were revealed at meeting of the Canal
Boat Owners's Association in Brook
lyn the other night which show the
effect of the Welland canal now in
operation in Canada combined with
the lower freight rates of that colony
upon Gotham's grain business. In
1880 the shipments of grain to New
York by way of the Erie canal
amounted to 67.1s4,740 bushels while
in 1907 such shipments were only s.
$4,000 bushels. It is unnecessary
here to cite the grain shipments by
rail. But these figures have set the
New York World thinking and induced
the following remark:
The canal made New York the EN-
pire state and its chief city the me-
tropolis. Rough commerce on the
