What Is the Trouble?

THE mayor and supervisors are reasonable men /;
! the city physicianis a reasonable man !; the
directors of the Queens Hospital are all reason
able men. Now, why cannot these reasonable men
get together some place, at some early date and
find out what reason there is for the ever recur-
ring row between the city officials and the hos
pital management, Surely there is plenty Of com
mon ground upon which to meet for the work
ing out Of some plan for the common good. ~
The suggestion that the municipality erect and
maintain general hospital, so long as the accom-
modations Of the Queens Hospital are not over
taxed, is preposterous, considering all our needs
and our limited revenues, But, apparently, there
is always sufficient friction between the city gov
eminent and the hospital directorate or manage

NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA

In an address delivered in Boston Sencr Tsiana, delegate from Colombia to the panAmerean financial conference described thus the situation which E draw ing together in closer bonds Che continents oe this hemisphere
 ~The two essential features in the two sec
 tions may be respectively summed up as fol-
 lows. The United States have surplus of
 capital and a surplus of production, and. what
 is more, equipment for the indefinite in
 crease or that production the Latin section
 Of the continent, taken as whole. possesses
 incalcuiable sources of natural wealth as yet
 untouched: it is sparsely populated. it is es
 sentislly non-manafaeturing. and requires capi
 cal and immigration for ts development This
 condition of affairs was revealed wi;h defin
 itencss that has the character of peremptory
 demand by Che present European conflict

 The North Americans win respond to the invitation They are going in with their money and their skill and the half century should both Central and South America greatly enriched and transformed by their efforts
 This means. of course that in those sections manu- factuang will be established, and their materials worked up at aome. For years own Southland was little more than vast plantation. with cotton king But n was necessary to send the king away to have him crowned Now he went to England. now to New England There were spiniles taning in the South The South furnished only the raw materials. t was elsewhere the finished products produced and that enormous fortunes were made thereby.
 At last che Civil War having taught North and South much about business and everything else North era capital saw new chance and made manufacturing Investments in the South large scale Cotton mills were bult and equipped with the latest machinery and great Quan.ities of tbe material passed into finished products nearby And so both North and South p-oiited.
 In time we shall sec grea- quantities Of raw mater a.s Of Central and South America pass into finished products right home. But that will be done large y by North American capital and skilled labor, we shall profit along with our Southern neighbors. and that will justify all now going forvari that erd.

 Nothing would produce greater good for the people ot Ohio well the people of an the States of the Ohio valley, than a deep-water canal rom Lake Erie through norheastern counties to the Ohio river be- low Pittsburgh, and deepwaterway aiording trans poriation between Pittsburgh and the Gulf of Mexico
 Such waterways would be worth millions of dollars annually to the counties of the State most remote from their course and the value of such waterways to the State at large would be exceedingly great that lt would be folly to attempt to define or limit it by nam ing figures.
 The time has arrived that the business men of the valley should organize to promote this enterprise n It's eztirety.
 It win lie dormant unless on organization with membership ready and willing to press this great n terna improvement through it's various steps or stages to completion is effected.
 Every years delay means loss of millions of dollars to the people of the valley.
 With such waterways in operation the business Of of the State of Ohio would be Quadrupled within five years after they were opened for business
 The continents of Africa, Asia and South America, the islands of New Zealand Australia and of all Ocean ica those of the West and East Indies, the Pacific Coast and Canada and of own counry-these would be brought into direct touch with valley and with such low costs of transportation compared with CTS. our miners our mechanics, laborers, skilled and urskilled, our merchants would never know dull times.

 Our railway transportation lines would wax wealthy through the increase that would be theirs both in local and through business by of the widespread ac- tivtes in all affairs that would inevitably result
