in return, improve these connecting waterways and allow the Canadians Use Of them.
 What would it mean to the United States? A sum so vast that 1t sounds like a fairy tale. In the fif- teen states served by the Great Lakes, from Ohio on the east to Montana on the west, and south to Kansas and Missouri, there was ing grain crops, namely corn, wheat, oats, rye. barley and flax, total of 4,022, LOGO, 900 bushels. On the same economic principle that the surplus marketing price affects the price on the entire production of these crops, Q saving of cents per bushel would be reflected to the grower in an in- crease of $200,0O0,000 per yea. in his income. This is on grain alone re- gardless of the saving in the thous- and commodities that would be brought to the very door of the west at a greatly decreased cost.
 The sum is too vast, you say, to be actually saved by a mere trans portation improvement. Let us see. Let us look at Lake Superior traffic alone since the first Soo canal was constructed in 1855. Up to that time the entire tonnage of Lake Superior in and out, was moved around the Falls of Sainte Marie by horse and cart. With the construction of the canal, which allowed boats to enter and leave Lake Superior, the actual growth of tonnage began.
 Since 1855 to date there has moved in round numbers 9OO,- 000,000 tons in and out of Lake Superior alone. What has been the saving in transportation per ton? Let us see. Today the wheat rate from Duluth to Buffalo by water is 1 1-2 cents per bushel, the rail rate 13.1 cents per bushel-a saving of over s3.50 per ton; on iron ore by lake 55 cents, by rail $3.75 to $450-- a saving of over $3.50 per ton; on coal westbound to Duluth 35 cents per ton; by rail s3.15 per ton, or almost $3 per ton.
 It is quite clear, then, that on the enormous tonnage on and off Lake Superior there has been a transporta- ton saving of at least $3 per ton, or ia total of s2,7O0 100000 This is the saving in transportation secured by the public spirit which insisted on building canals around the Falls of Sairte Marie. Does the saving now l by introducing ocean carriers direct to the Great Lakes, look impossible or
 even improbable to you?-Julius H Barnes in Review of Reviews.

NEWSPAPER PROFESSION
 IS SACRED CALLING
Dr. Gladden. of Ohio Com pares It With Ministerial
 Office.

Lawrence. Kas., May 12.-The news paper profession is an sacred a call- ing as the ministry in the opinion of Dr.. Washington Gladden. of Colum- bus, of Ohio, as expressed in an ad- dress made before hundreds of news paper men here today at the national newspaper conference being conducted at the University of Kansas.
 A paper by Frank B. Moves of Washington, D. C.. president of the Associated Press, on press association work, was read.
 Dr. Gladden. described what he re- ferred to as tendency of some news papers toward habits of exaggera- ton" and the exploitation of crime, vice and scandal. He outlined four great tasks for American journalism in the performance of which he said it might aid in purifying and invig- orating public opinion.
 First, to teach people to avoid ex- aggeration and violent speech and to cultivate moderate and rational modes of expression.
 Second, to resist the tendencies which dementalize democracy and which substitute the mob mind for the deliberate habit.
 Third, to hold the popular judg- ment firmly to the truth that char acter and manhood and not money and popularity are the central values of human existence.
 Fourth. to turn the thoughts of men more and more from the negative virtue of detecting and exposing the evil to the positive virtue of discern ing and praising the good.
 large part of the day was given to discussions of news associations and questions pertaining to memberships in the same.

BLACK SMOKE CLOUDS
 CAUSE FIRE SCARE Kingsbury Hotel at Water bury Threatened With De-
 structive Blaze.

Waterbury, Conn. May 12.-Heavy clouds of black smoke issuing from the four story brick building No. 21 Harrison avenue, at noon today, gave the down town section a mild fire scare. While the fire had a threat ening appearance for half an hour it was controlled by use of practi- cally all the fire apparatus. s4ss.ssss.s..
 The building was owned by F. J. McEvoy and adjoined the Kingsbury Hotel. Smoke compelled occupants of rooms in the hotel and most of the guests to vacate in a hurry, but the structure itself escaped material damage.
 The fire in the building owned by MT. McEvoy caught on lower floor and spread to an airshaft, and thence to the third and fourth floors which had been occupied by the Waterbury Enameling company which went into bankruptcy a few days ago. The spread of the blaze on these floors caused the dense smoke.
 The building is directly opposite the police station.

$3O,OOO DAMAGE SUIT
 OPENED IN COURT
Levi w. Yaggy of Plainfield, H., Original Defendant, Has Died
 and Case Is Against Sons.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, May 12.-Trial of 3O,O00 damage suit brought by John Miller, of Chicago, against Levi w. Yaggy, of Plainfield, H., was be- gun in the civil superior court here today. Yaggy was arrested here on body writ in the civil action while travelling. thus centering the case here. The defendant has since died, and the case now is against his three sons. The suit is based on alleged misrepresentation made by the elder Yaggy in the sale of $25,000 worth of stock in Chicago mail order house to Miller.
 Miller was on the stand all day today. Yaggy and he, he testified, were school mates and boyhood close friends in Plainfield in 1863 and later. When Miller entered the leather busi- ness in Chicago he continued to meet Yaggy often. In 1906, he said, Yaggy urged him to buy stock in the AL baugh-Dover company, of Chicago, the mail order house in question. Yaggy, he said, represented that the company had a capital of $1,O00,0OO; that the sales for the year were $1,- 0O0,00O; that the company made thirty per cent. profit and paid ten per cent. dividends; that the stock was selling at $150 a share and was soon going to be $2o0; that there was a block of $1O0,o00 that was avail able, but the company was consider ing the abvisability of waiting for the higher price, that he and two other friends had taken $75,000 of the $1OO,00O, and that Miller should take the remaining $25.000.

Germany Asks for
Permit to Send Code
Messages by Wireless

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Haniel Won
Haimhausen, charge of the German en-
bassy, conferred with Secretary Bryan
today on wireless and cable communica-
ton between American and Europe. The
charge had previously requested that the
state department permit code messages
to be exchanged directly between the
United States and Germany, which are
now barred by the military censors in
England, through which country all cable
messages must pass to reach Germany.
The charge also was DESTROYS that the
German owned wireless station at Say
VILE, L. l., and Tuckerton, n. j., be per-
mitted TO work with Germany, free from
censorship, thereby placing Germany on
equality with England and France, which
are using their cables without restric-
lions for Transatlantic correspondence. "A
disposition was shown at the State de-
paTtment 10 justify the apparent discrim-
nation against the wireless by an article
In The Hague convention, which provides
that such methods Of communication may
be barred where the stations were erected
for purely military purposes on neutral
territory and transact no commercial
business. The German contention is that
the prohibition does not apply for the
reason that the stations in question have
been doing commercial business
Secretary Bryan promised Charge Hahn
hansen that he would take the subject
up with President Wilson as soon as pos
sible and the charge returned to the sum-
mer embassy at Newport to await his
answer.
