Cincinnati Enquirer)
 The Great Lakes Transit Corporation. with thir ty-iive steamers. having tonnage of 15O0OO recently announced April 10 as the time for the beginning Of their operations. This great fleet is of vessels pur chased from transit companies operating under the control of railroad corporations Transfer of the sells comes of the laws separating business of transportation by land from that the waters.
 New Orleans and St. Louis papers tell us of the Inland Navigation Company operating between those cities, in having built at Jeffersonvle ndr on the Ohio River. fleet of fine steel vessels called barges' although selfpropelled with crude oil for fuel The first of these vessels has been launched and given trial trip. and announced to reach St. Louis Ap' ril l2 and three days later to steam away for New Orleans with full cargo. These vessels are to be each two hundred feet long with modern propulsion. travelling cranes and trucks electric winches and wire less outfit Heating and cooking by electricity. Owing to their equipment with all modern facilities propulsion and handling of these vessels will require only fourteen men each
 The Post-Dispatch of St. Louis. in connection with this enterprise says: "The near future will witness considerable revival of river traffic Added to the line of barges operated from Chicago to New Orleans is promised St Louis line of importance. The proof that our great inland waters in their present state are as nayigable as those Of Europe for ightdratt craft muiuples rapidly and similar business must be the result"
 Day after day we come across some evidences of faith in the canal and facilities for freight and lcation Of the legislation devoting money by mil Hons to production of a nneioot stage Of water or the Ohio River from Pittsburgh to Cairo by means of locks dams and canals. Years ago The Enquirer induged in picture of the future including fleets of steel vessels or the Ohio River. not only carrying freight but reyving tourist business in fine passenger accommodations steaming up and down the graceful bends of one of the most beautiful rivers of the world
 We note that a Cincinnati firm has made inquiry at New Orleans about facilities of the Crescent City for shipments abroad owing to congestion at New York New Orleans finds reason for much encourage ment of It's business outlook in the prospect of great revival >of business by the Mississippi
 It is well that we have an appropriation of five million dollars for this years work in improvement of the Ohio River The sooner secure the nec- essary stage of the year round the sooner we shall find shipyards along that river producing fine steel vessels for Ohio Valley traffic

LA FoLLErTE AND RoosEvELT

Senator La Toilette is said to have declared re- gently that there is nothing in common between Col Roosevelt and the real progressives of tho country and there isn't Col Roosevelt demonstrated at one
 lime that he could cry fire but he has never stopped a conflagration He could appeal to the man who thought something was wrong. and attract the sup port of thoughtess people who like the dog that bi,es the stick that strikes It rather than combats the source Of It's troubles but he has never solved a problem of government He aroused the hatred or people for special privilege benefcares but has never destroyed special privilege
 It is not a wonder that Senator La Toilette has no patience with Roosevelt La Toilette is one who achieves He is constructive He works for rene dies He does things as we'll as talks There Is abso ln.ely nothing In likeness between Roosevelt on the ono hand and the La Policies. the Hoggs. the Cham berlains the Lanes the U'Rens. the Walshes. the Johnsons. the Woodrow Wilson's. and the other real proeressves on the other hand Roosevelt shouted and denounced and howled and talked about "I ME an MY" about "malefactors" undesirable citizens llars" scoundres" etc Real progressives set about to discover what was going amiss and to stop It. Roosevelt thought about his political fortunes Real prosressives think about the public service. Roosevelt sought spotlight and all the tawdry tinsel of notoriety Real progressives seek results
 Roosevelt got the votes of many good progressives but they were sled progressives progressves who sought Co punish rather than to remedy; men who sought scaps of the systems benehciares rather than to cause reforms that would deprive the system of ad vantage.
 But he has even quit crying fire. quit appealing to tho dsconteued quit his arousng talk and Is now ,ramcking with those whom he had denounced as undesirable citizens because he thinks the wave of reform has subsided and there are indications tha, the former undesirable citizens"' may aid him in again getting place ln the sun Reform and progress slveness hold no more for Roosevelt Roosevelt is through with them

THEIR GAIN. OUR LOSS
Fairbanks Times)

(Fairbanks Times
 It will Interest Alaskans, especially those who spend their earnings with the big mail order houses of the Outside to that the business of at least one of the supply houses has increased tremendously during the past year According to figures taken from an accounting trade journal the sales of the Sears Roebuck Company. one of the largest in the mall or der field aggregated $112665727 in 1915 and the net profit on those sales amounted to considerably more than eleven millions. The volume of business done during the month of January, this year showed an increase of 21 per cent that of January, 1915
 How much of that money came from the pockets of Fairbanksans only those tell who patronize the foreign institutions. It may be assumed however with reasonable safety. that the amount was more than the camp could afford to lose For 1t must be remembered that every cent spent with a mail order house is lost to the camp forever Such expenditures are removed from local circulation completely as though they were dumped In the river. The money spent does not help pay the salaries of the home workersi None of 1t finds its way into the registers of local merchants and the purchases made by mall as often fail to give the satisfaction expected of them The advantage of spending money away from home Is all In favor of the Outsider It means more profits for the big fellows and tougher times for the little fellows who must depend entirely upon local trade for support.
