Upper peninsula people are mani
Testing not a small degree of interest
in the proposition to abolish Fort
Brady. at Sault Ste. Marie, many being
Of the opinion that TO remove the only
protection the upper peninsula now
has from any foreign invasion would
prove most foolhardy.
\ comparative analysis Of the traf-
dc reports of the worlds different can
ais shows that the traffic through the
st. Marys river is something over s.
600 600 tons more than the combined
traffic of the worlds canals, leaving
"a fair sized margin of traffic TO bal

menting on the matter, the traffic
through. the ST. Mary's lock is more
than the combined traffic Of the pres
ent ship canals of the world, and will
equal this traffic and the estimates
made for that of the great Panama
canal.
This fact disputes the war depart
ments opinion that Fort Brady is a
useless post and emphasizes the need

While exact figures OF a late date
are not available, il is certain that in

begun in 1859, i'm 1909 was carrying

period. Wclland tho Corinth. the
Prussian waterways and the Russian
canals are estimated to have carried
an amount equal To the Manchester
business for that year.
Doubles Canal Traffic.
From these figures it can be seen
that the river traffic here is almost
double the traffic OF the worlds canals
now operated.
With the abolition of Fort Brady as
regular army post the ST, Mary's riv-
or traffic would be without army pro-
lection and a nations commerce left
without protection. In the opinion of

'The capitalists employed McMani-
gal to destroy the Structural t-on
Workers union,' declared r. M.
Roll. Kentucky delegate to the Mine
Workers convention at Indianapolis
today. This gentleman seems to have
a reckless disregard for the proven
truth. McManigal confessed that he
was hired by John J. Mcnamara,
secretary-treasurer of the Structural
Iron Workers union to carry on a
campaign of dynamiting against struc-
lures where non-union labor was en-
ployed. Mcnamara confessed that he
hired Mechanical to blow up the
Llewellyn iron works in Los Angeles
and is now serving a prison term.
Just where the hand of capital appears
in these outrages directed against
capital would puzzle any fair mind
The Kentucky delegate does not do
the cause of his union any good by
his reckless mouthings.

TAFT land THE SHERMAN LAW.

"It is a reasonable Assumption tha'
the majority of the people who are
discont with the Sherman la"
and with it's enforcement are the
stockholders and others interested III
those corporations and combinations
charged with it's violation" This state
ment is made by Attorney General
Wickersham in an article on Ihe
Enforcement of the Antitrust La"
in the February Century. Mr.. Wicker
sham has pointed out one OF the
reasons for the opposition shown TO
the denomination Of President !a1t
When President Taft assumed ONCE
he found the Sherman antitrust law
to be more or less of dead letter
There had been much talk OF the
iniuuities of the corporation. but ilttle
decisive action in the way of civil and
criminal prosecutions. President Tart
enforced this law. He brought about
the dissolution of the Standard OIL ana
tobacco trusts, proceeded against tne
Chicago packers, secured the cohslc'
ton Of the men guilty OF the sugar
customs frauds and made the sherman
law an effective weapon in bringing
about reorganization OF the business
methods of the big corporations. III
doing this he performed great pub
lie service. but he stirred up me
enmity of the big business interests
whose methods were assa1led.
ATTORNEY General, Wickersham de-
clares that discomfort with the Sher'
man antitrust act and its enforcement
nv this administration is not nearly so
widespread as is popularity supposed.
"A few thoroughly disconnected
people" he says. "are apt to make Tar
more impression than do host OF
people who are wholly satisfied with
the same conditions which produces
discomfort on the part of others lie
adds: ..
"The people who will most benefit
from the enforcement of the law are
the great army of consumers who
have been purchasing the products OF
these corporations 1t is certainly
obvious that the number of consum-
ers so benefited must far exceed the
number of stockholders who may, in
some degree, be injured -.... .r
The president should be supported
by the great rank and file of the
people for the enemies he has made in
his enforcement of the antitrust law.
He has followed the same course IN
this regard that he has followed IN
disposing of other matters that have
been kept before the public as cam
paign issues for years. He has fear,
lessly enforced the laws as he found
them regardless Of the result to his
political fortunes. ..
