FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY

The escape Of Harry Thaw from
Mattewan asylum and his capture
in Canada is another chapter in
New Yorks criminal history. Ninety
per cent uf the American people
believe that Thaw is as sane as his
keepers, the superintendent Of the
asylum or any Of the judges who
persisted in holding him in the asy-
lum. Ii is safe to say that he will
never see the inside # Matte van
again. Even il Canada decides to
deport him, it will probably have
to send him to New Hampshire as
he crossed the Canadian Dor der
from that State.
It would be great wron. and a
gross misapplicaiion of the immi-
grafton avs to send n deported
man to one state when he came in
to that country from another, es-
pccially in this case. Thaw will
give the officials a ron for their
money if he is deportcd to New
Hampshire the State from which
he came into that country. lie
has no more chance than a rat IN
sinking ship out in mid-ocean II
he is sent to New York. Canada
has no right to send him to New
York in caso he Is dcported. That
country should not use its power,
| If it is found to have 1t. to put
this man back in an asylum when
he is perfectly sane. The question
of jurisdiction should be left to
| New York and New HAMPSHIRE
to settle between themselves
| That is n question which concerns
this country alone.

SENATOR REWLANDS is
ON THE RIGHT TRACK

The completion of the Panama
canal, which will soon be open to
the worlds shipping, has already
changed the drift Of sentiment to-
ward waterway development in the
United States.
1t has, fer instance upset all th
ancient theories and traditions of
Harvesting the Mississippi river by
slow and easy stages. 1t has in
troduced new, western scientific
spirit into the modern discussion
OF waterway problems.
Here are two concrete facts that
illustrate our point: United States
Senator Randsell aud Representa-
tive Humphreys of Mississippi have
a bill in congress that provides
for the appropriation of S60, ,000,-
600 to improve the Mississippi river
levees from Carlo down.
Opposed to this old fashioned
method United States Senator
Newlands has another bill in Con.
gress that provides for a high
class commission to take care of
the entire Mississippi river pro.
blem. as well as tho waterway pro-
blem in the valleys of this state
The Newlands measure aims at the
scientific treatment of q water way
problem that concerns the entire
west and middle west
AS majority of federal Senators
and congressman come from dis
tricts and states directly affected
by these river overflow problems, it
Is not surprising that the Newlands
measure is receiving enthusiastic
and steadily growing support.
Even Senators and Representa-.
tives from the Southern Mississippi
districts say that the NeWlands bill
takes care Of the Mississippi river
levee problem better than the one
providing for direct $50, ,00O,-
600 appropriation
1t is significant that those who
favor the latter are chiefly old
school statesman who cling to the
pork barrel' theory In getting
appropriations for their home dis
tricts. The care of tho lower Mis-
sissippi has been one of the ma
tions costliest outlays. and IL ira
ditions are followed without change
the ultimate cost will form a stsg-
gering total.
Scientific waterway men have
long pleaded that these traditional
methods are wasteful. They nave
pleaded for coherent and logical
! method Of waterway development
that will benefit the entire west
and middle west rather than the
lower Mississippi states alone.
II Is probable that their plans
will be needed by congress in the
near future and the Newlsnds plan
OF n scientific waterway commits
sion is directly in line with the
progressive public sentiment. --Ex-
aminer.
