Endorses the Changes Made
and in Prospect at
Niagara Fails.
pennsylvania

WASHINGTON, D. G., April g.
The expert testimony of General
william H. Bixby, chief of engineers.
United States army, upon the subject
of Niagara Falls preservation, has
been issued from the government
printing Office. he tells of the re.
suit OF the engineers investigations
Jas to the effect Of present diversions
of water upon the navigation OF
Lake Erie and the Niagara river.
The present effect that we get on
the Niagara river" says General
Bixby, sis about five inches at the
head of the rapids above the falls,
and the present effect of the total
diversion is only about an inch and
an eighth on Lake Erie, so that, SC
far as navigation is concerned,
should not think them anything Sc,
rious."
The treaty with Canada, which has
not yet gone into effect, puts limit
of 10000 cubic feet a second upon
power diversions on the American
side, the limit now being $500
cubic feet.
so far as navigation and scenic
beauty are concerned, do not know
of anything in my Office that shows
that the increase disc. of,4, 400 cubic
feet) would seriously affect the two;
the effect of the diversion. of thil
44oOs cubic feet around the falls
would be practically unappreciable. :.
.At&present the diversion of the
Canadian side are limited by the
law which forbids the importation
of more than 100000 electrical horse
power into the United States, there
being no market in Canada to ap-
Isorb all the available power, On
this point General Bixby says:
2 81 expect to see but very
few years elapse before canada will
use every bit of water it can take
and the United States will use every
bit of water that it can take: and II
the Canadians have any trouble III
exporting the power from Canada
j do not think it will be more than
fen years before they will be using
! 1t up at home"
The waterways treaty between
Canada and the United States, de
signed to protect navigation and
scenic beauty, limits the total di,
versions to $4,000 cubic. feet a sec
ond out of total flow over the falls
of q GA 900 cubic feet. The engIn-
eering experts, upon whose investi-
cations the treaty was based, de-
termined by tests that this limit
would preserve the beauty of Maya
ra Falls permanently and yet permit
industrial development by the use OF
cheap power.

TRAGEDY OF THE TITANIC
PROVES MANS TRUE WORTH

w HILE the sinking of the Titanic
w is still fresh in our memory,
and while the senate committee is
busily engaged in an endeavor to as
certain the true cause of the disaster,
1t may not be amiss to give some
little thought to lessons that were
learned from the wreck by the stories
OF the survivors relative to the con-
duct of the passengers and crew who
gave up their lives when the ship
sank to the bottom of the Atlantic.
The collision with the iceberg
brought every man, woman and child
aboard the ship to a common level.
Material wealth of the cabin passen-
gers left them in the twinkle Of an
eye. There was democracy in their
distress and more than this, democ-
racy in the conduct of the male pas
sengers before the Inflated ship went
to the bottom of the ocean.
The tragedy has proved that greed
and selfishness are not fundamental
in the character of men. The demo-
cratic impulse-most distinctly hu-
man Of all human characteristics
drawer than greed and more absorb
ing than selflshness-came upper
most then.
At that supreme moment, when
souls were on trial, the appeal TO
brotherhood was intuitive and over
whelming.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1912-05-04

instead of permitting them to remain in private
hands and be used for the advantage of individuals
Wireless operators aboard ship should be gov
eminent officials with the protection of the govern
ment behind them. Then there could be no such
disgraceful incident that of suppressed news
corning the Titanic disaster There would have been
confusion because representatives of the gov
eminent the operators would have worked in con-
junction with the telegraph operators and the
operators other ships.
The pressing necessity of government ownership
in this matter could not be wildly shown
Here, on every side, evidences of misunder-
standing, of confusion of possible Justification under
orders and Of Suppression.
There is no way to get at the matter unless the
government does take over all these means of COM
municaton, and install able well-trained operators
in sufficient numbers to handle the exacting work
that continually confronts them.

ROOSEVELT, TAFT AND LA TOILETTE.

We have no desire to butt into the Republican
family row. We are not sufficiently close to Pres
ident Taft Colonel Roosevelt to advise them in
their personal conduct. They are but two naughty
boys who ought to be ashamed of themselves for
dragging the Highest Office under God into the mre
OF cheap politics.
If we had our way they would both be given
good spanking and sent to school of correction
and only released upon promise that they would
never again appear in public life
However, they twenty -one and each is
responsible for his acts The people are sitting
in Judgment and the time will soon come when they
will be taught lesson that will hold them for the
rest Of their days.
When Taft and Roosevelt were washing their
dirty linen in Massachusetts, Senator La Toilette
was conducting lone fight out in California and
how differently it waged. The militant Sen
ator from Wisconsin cared little for the personality
of Taft or Roosevelt Engaged in fight for
principle hewing neither to the right nor the left
calling wrongs by their right NAME he brought
message to the people that unmarked the enmity Of
President Taft and the hypocrisy of Colonel Roose-
Welt. He did this, not by personal attack, but by
exposing the inconsistency of their attitudes on all
public questions.
Senator La Toilette may not be nominated by
the Republican party for President of the United
States but his demeanor in this campaign indicates
that he is by far the best man the Republican party
choose for the office
George W. Perkins said that Wall Street does
not fear Taft Roosevelt but he was very careful
not to say that Wall Street did not fear Senator
La Toilette. Indeed, La Toilette is the one man
now candidate before the people in both of the old
parties that Wall Street does not want

Bryan then stood.

all Of the principles for which Mr..
Bryan then stood.
Now there is another issue be-
fore the American people exceeding
in Importance the issue Of 1896. If
the principles Of the initiative. the
referendum and the recall are &C.
cepted by the people of the United
States, the full power of government
will be restored to them. They will
sound the death-knell of privilege to
all classes, high and low.
Big Business recognizes that it's
plundering days will cease the mo-
ment the people come into full pos
session of the power Of government.
Driven to desperate straits it is call
ing upon every person who has been
favored by it's patronage to come
forth and save the System.
1t has induced Robert T. Lincoln
to tell the people of the United
States that his father did not believe
in a government of the people. for
the people and by the people; that
he was opposed to absolute democ-
racy and favored more than anything
else the principle of representative
government.
Students Of the life Of Abraham
Lincoln are too familiar with the
principles for which he stood to
place any stock in the claims Of his
misguided son. If Abraham Lincoln
were living today he would fully
realize that what he predicted and
feared in 1855 has come true, that
wealth has been enthroned in this
nation and government has passed
into the hands OF the few.
Always with the people and for
the people the great influence Of
Abraham Lincoln would be used in
urging the adoption of the initiative.
the referendum and the recall to re-
store the nation to the people. His
son Robert might have fooled the
majority of the people In 1896, but
he cannot do it today, for behind
them are 16 years of education and
experience.

BE A PATRIOT AND VOTE.

This is our last appeal to the citizens of Duluth
to their votes Tuesday next for the proposed
charter amendment providing for the initiative, the
referendum and the recall.
Every advocate of direct legislation is urged to
contribute his services on Tuesday next by not only
casting his vote, but by periodically working to
induce others to also take sufficient interest to vote
The sentiment seems to be general that the pro-
posed amendment will be ratified by the people due
to the fact that little if any, outward opposition has
manifested itself. There is danger in Overcon-
fidence We may rest assured that every represent
tative of Big Business, and every person who can
be influenced by it, will vote against the charter
amendment.
If the friends of the initiative the referendum
and recall should consider it not worth while to
take the trouble to vote because of it's apparent
popularity with the masses of the people, suf-
fcient number is liable to remain away from the
polls to defeat the amendment.
Of every 100 votes cast at the special election 60
must be in it's favor in order that it may carry In
other words if 5000 citizens vote at the election the
amendment cannot become law unless 5000 of this
number vote for it. So it can be seen that every
vote is necessary.
The lineup in this campaign is most favorable
and most satisfactory. All the hosts of civic
Righteousness in favor of the charter amend
ment. All the enemies of equal rights, moral de-
cency and social justice against the amendment.
No cleaner issue presented itself to the people
OF any community. If they lose this fight they do
not deserve to win any issue.
The real danger in defeat then is in apathy and
over-confdence. Let every reader of The Labor
World remember his duty and on Tuesday next cast
his vote in favor of the initiative, the referendum
and the recall.
