MADE USE OF UNDERSTUDIES
Both German Emperor and Russian czsr Frequently Employed
 Doubles.

In a land of distrust like Russia it is only natural that the precau- tions taken should be of the most drastic order, hence the use of the royal understudy who has always been a conspicuous figure at that court. Indeed, it was the under study of the late Czar Alexander III "a man named Komaroff-who was murdered in Moscow some years ago, when the murderer thought he had covered himself with glory by assas- sinating the czar.
 Nicholas, like his father before him, has an understudy, and the many state functions he Is supposed to have attended at the opening of his reign, when the relations with his people were more strained than they are today, really were attended for the most part by proxy.
 No monarch, however, made such frequent use of his understudy as the late Emperor William of Ger many. Every day as the clock struck twelve the emperor came out and bowed on the palace balcony. It was not until some time after the en- peror's demise that the secret was made known that the man who ap- peared daily on the balcony was the royal understudy. And the person who gave the secret away was the great Bismarck.

THE TREATY AND THE 500.

New York World: In respect to traf-
fc, the greatest canal system in the
world is at Sault Ste. Marie.
The tonnage that passes through the
$500 locks is four times greater than
the tonnage that passes through SueZ.
1t is a greater traffic than the Panam
canal will handle during the life OF
any living man, .
There are two canals at the 500
One OF them is owned by the United
States and n by Canada. Each Is
open to ships Of the other country on
against Canadian ships and Canada
levies no charges against American
ships.
Most of his immense trade is under
the American flag and the American
canal is wholly inadequate to handle 1t.
More American traffic goes through the
Canadian canal than through the Am
eriCan canal.
tonnage that went through the n
dian canal was carried in Canadian
ships. "a per cent of it being American.
In tina year 37,747,457 tons of Amer
dian canal and 37,O22,201 tons went
through the American canal. In the
previous year 35,579, 294 tons Of Amer
lean freight went through the Cana
dian canal as against approximately
$4,000. 900 tons of American freight that
went through the American canal.
The total American coastwise traffic
through the Canadian canal at the
500" is about thirty-fVe times the es-
timated American coastwise traffic
through the Panama canal. Moreover
it is an immensely moro important traf-
fC. It is no eXaggeration to say that
the industrial prosperity of the Amer
lean people depends more upon the
coastwise traffic of the Great Lakes
than upon any other one element.
In addition as much American traf1c
passes through the Welland canal on
equal terms with Canadian traffic as
the total estimated CoastWise trat1c
through the Panama canal.
When we undertake to violate the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty and discrimln-
ate against Canada at Panama we are
inviting Canada to retaliate and deal to
American coastwise traf1c the dead
Hest blow 1t ever received in time OF
peace.
Senator O'Gorman and other paro-
chial Americans in the east seem to
think there Is no American cOastWise
traffic except that of the Atlantic and
Pacific. They should learn a little more
about their own country. When we
start a canal war with Canada for the
benefit of the Philadelphia and San
Francisco subsidy grabbers. we have
everything to lose and nothing to gain
Even If the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
did not exist every consideration OF
justice and Intelligent trade develop
ment would counsel US to deal as fair
" with Canada at Panama as Canada
deals with US at the 800" II through
