ANTI-PORK TALK
MAY HALT CANAL
Richard EIbeI, Vice President
of Association, Sees Need
for Waterway.

Anti-pork barrel agitation will, II
anything. preclude all possibility OF
completing the Michigan canal,
planned to extend between Toledo
and Chicago via South Bend. is the
opinion of Richard Elbel of this city,
vice-president of the Erie Michigan
Waterways association. Mr.. Elbel
has for years been interested in
the canal project: he saw its need
at one time and he is firm IN be-
lief that such "A waterway would be
of great benefit TO freight trans
portation. He said:
I'VE are assured of the northern
route, through Fort Wayne to War
saw, Milford Goshen. Elkhart.
Mishawaka and South Bend, and
thence to Michigan City, and from
there to Chicago, but with all THIS
agitation against the .so-called
pork" of the rivers and harbors

suffer for the sins of the unworthy.
1t is improbable the canal will be
fostered by the present administra-
ton
Holds Canal Necessity.
Mr.. Elbel. in speaking of the re-
port Of the army board which re-
route over the southern survey, held
himself in accord with Col. John
Mills who believes the canal a
necessity. Col. Mills will file a
minority report declaring the pres
ent demand for the canal, while his
two colleagues seem to feel it I'M
necessary at this time.
Reports from shippers along the
proposed route of the canal at this
time are TO the effect there is a
great car shortage. Middle western
shipping needs this canal, and it will
come eventually. The report of the
committee means one thing, that
the northern route Will be used.
whenever the government sees tit TO
appropriate for it. said Mr. Elbel
1T is "a good thing for Fort
Wayne, this order Of the board that
the Maumee river should be canal

Mr. Elbel pointed out the proposed
survey The St Joseph river will be

and perhaps not at all, and the
canal will not enter Lake Michigan
at Michigan City. Skirting the lake
shore, il will connect with the Calu-
met river. and thence 10 Chicago. as
the engineers have surveyed for the

1T was not surprised al the de-
cision OF the board" said Mr. Elbel
While Col Mills was not at liberty
TO give out any Information. while
here some time ago. 1 toured wIta
him along the proposed site or the
waterway. and what he SAID was
sufficient TO lead me 10 believe that
the northerly route would be
chosen" This recommendation of
the board is regarded as a great VIC
tory for the northern Indiana RESP
dents who have been fostering the
canal idea.

Bird Law
Continues In Force

A misleading statement has re-
Gently become current in newspapers
Of the Mississippi Valley and else
where, to the effect that the De-
partment of Agriculture has sus-
pended the enforcement Of the Fed
eral regulations under the Migra-
tory Bird Law and by this means has
enabled spOrtsmen, under state laws,
to shoot wild fowl the coming spring.
Under the Federal regulations as
they now stand, the season on all mi
gratory wild fowl is closed until next
autumn throughout the United
States. Federal inspectors and ward-s
ems are required, and others inter
ested in the protection Of wild fowl
are requested to report to the De-
partment Of Agriculture all cases of
violations Of the regulations in order
that proper action may be taken.
The Department of Agriculture
has no power to suspend the law or
to pardon violations Of the regula-
tons Doubtless the erroneous i'm
preston, on which the newspaper
statements are based, has grown out
of the tendency Of litigation involv-
ing the cOnstitutionality Of the Act
Of Congress approved March q, 1913,
under which the regulations we're
promulgated The lower Federal
courts disagreed as to the validity
of the statute and the issue was car
ried to the Supreme Court Of the
United States. The case was argued
in the Supreme Court in October,
1915, but has not been decided. Fol-
lowing the lower court decisions.
Congress appropriated money for
the purpose of continuing the en-
forcement of the law. The Depart
ment of Agriculture is bound to re-
port to the Department of Justice
violations of the regulations if the
Supreme Court should declare the
law constitutional. All persons
should, therefore, be warned of the
danger they incur from failure to
abide by the regulations.

Woman Suffrage
BY E. S. REED

Although a President is to be
elected this year and the nominal
ing conventions are but a little over
three months away there is little &C.
tivity manifested by politicians The
suffragettes seem to be most alive
but theirs is a situation not asso-
ciated with either Of the great po-
litical parties. But there are fac
tions in the woman suffrage move
ment, one favoring and the other
opposing.
The women Of New England held
a suffrage convention in Providence
on the 18th of February at which
many of the female advocates of
votes for women spoke. Among the
speakers was Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait, President of the Interna-
tional Council for Women. an organ
ization representing this and twen-
Cy~uNS lCO.
The women advocates for votes
for their sex do not seem to be dis
couraged although the fall elections
in those states where the woman
suffrage question was submitted
went heavily against them in every
one Of the five states voting on the
question. The majority against was
from $4,000 in New Jersey to 1872,
900 in Massachusetts, and 100000 in
New York. The persistent cam
paigners for votes are more numer-
Gus and more active than the fac
ton campaigning against. The ad-
vocates for votes claim that because
the great body of women do not de-
nounce the scheme they are in favor
of suffrage while the opposers say
that this Indifference shows that
women in general do not want to
vote. They quote as favoring their
contention, He that is not for me
is against me-
The governor Of New Jersey was
scored by women vote-getters and
ridiculed by men suffrage advocates
for saying that he voted against the
plan because he thought it apparent
that women did not want to vote.
The proper way to determine wheth-
er women wish to be privileged with
the ballot is to submit the question
directly to them. If they do not
wish to vote is it good policy to en-
act laws that impose upon them OBJ
legations that are distasteful to them,

Lectures About
Christian Science
BY Or. Francis J. FIuno, C. S. D.
From Great Falls lMontl Daily Leader

From Great Falls (Mont) Daily Leader
Continued from last week.
Christian Science is not essential
~ iconoclasm. 1t does not break
images, tear down affairs, and break
up churches, clans, and societies:
neither does it use the old as foun-
dation upon which to construct the
new.
1t educates out of the old into the
new; out of the lower into the higher:
out of the false into the true, so that
the idolator, finding in his god of
wood or stone no god at all, neither
breaks it nor Worships it, but leaves
it where it is; leaves the false god
for the true God.
He who has a corporeal god,
merely to worship, believe in, and die
by, but not to live by, finds in Chris
tian Science an ever practical and
demonstrable Principle A God to
live by, but not to die by; for God,
in divine Science is Life; and the Life
that is God, does not admit of death.
The atheist, finding his objections
regarding a personal god removed,
grows out of his atheism into the one
natural divine Principle; such as he
can comprehend, understand, and
demonstrate; so that instead of be-
lieving in no god at all, he grows to
understand and demonstrate that
God is all, and there is none else be
side Him.
The infdel grows out of his inf
deity into great, grand brother
hood; for he finds in Christian Sci
ence the one only true and universal
religion, that unites all in one great
family, that makes all men kith and
kin.
The agnOstic grows out of his ag-
Mysticism regarding God and the uni
verse into knowledge of God and
His creation; grows to know God, to
walk and talk with Him as with a
brother and a friend
SO, instead of not knowing, and
not even knowing that he knows not,
he comes not only to know, but to
know that he knows and why he
knows.

Teaching Ability
By j. w. CRABTREE

There is a difference of opinion as
to whether teachers are born or
made. If teachers are born, why
not say that lawyers are born or that
ministers or physicians are born.
Natural endowment is worth about
the same for each of the other pro-
fessions as for the teaching profess
sion.
Ministers are called. | have Won
dered whether teachers are not call
ed also. | remember that | had it in
my heart to teach school when was
five years old. Now | would like to
look upon that as a good omen. |
would like to have it mean that |
was called for the great and noble
work Of teaching. Child study how
ever destroys that happy thought,
for it has been found that nearly
every child having his teacher as his
ideal desires some time tobe teach
er also. But after all what is call
if not a great idea backed by a de-
sire, fostered and cherished until it
becomes a life purpose?
1t is certain however, that there
are men and women who do not po-
ssess teaching ability and who do not
seem to be able to acquire it. That
same statement could be made with
equal accuracy regarding those who
enter the practice of law or medi-
cine, or who enter any vocation
where skill is required. 1t is also
true that excellent teachers often
result from very crude and unprom-
Using material. The same is true in
other professions. Whatever in
f1uence birth may have there is no
doubt but that training counts and
that teaching ability may be cult
waited and improved by scholarship
and experience.
Many of our best teachers of to-
day were miserable failures in their
first years experience owing to what
was supposed to be weakness in
teaching ability. But after these
teachers learned how to adapt the
work to the minds of the children,
after they became skillful in asking
questions and after they learned to
take the pupils viewpoint into &C.
count in discipline they were said to
have excellent teaching ability.
Teaching ability may therefore be
cultivated. 1t may be cultivated in
the training school and greatly i'm
proved in actual service.

Manager Luger Of the North St.
Paul baseball team, on a recent visit,
tried to arouse interest in having
River Falls represented in that or
ganization. The Ellsworth Herald is
out with it's annual plea for Pierce
county league and urges River Falls
to join. There is no reason on earth
why River Falls should not have a
league team or two, except that
there are no grounds available for
Sunday games, no local players wish
to devote time to practice, and no one
cares to take the responsibility of
managing team here. Financing a
River Falls team is nogreat problem,
IS the hackers, knowing what theex-
pense is to be, always know that said
amount must come out of their own
pockets. Once upon a time (all fairy
stories commence with "Once upon a
time'') game was played here and

President Wilson VS..
Democratic Leaders
BY Hon. James A. Frear, 10th District

One big question that overshad-
owed all others during the past week
related toa breach between the Presi-
dent and his party leaders over the
sinking Of armed merchantmen of
Delligerent nations by submarines.
The President insists that as a mat
ter Of international law American
citizens have a right to travel on
such merchantmen with a certainty
that warning will be given before
torpedoes are fired by submarines.
This right has been controVerted by
warning nations but the situation be-
came acute when Congressional
leaders Of the Presidents party in
sisted that whatever the laWmay be,
warning should be given by our
government to all Americans that
they travel at their peril on armed
belIigerent merchantmen.
The press has discussed the sub
ject fully but | believe paragraph
from the letter sent by Senator
Stone to the President and one from
his reply will become memorable
contributions to history. Senator
Stone said: Il find it difficult for
my sense Of duty and responsibility
to consent to plunge this nation into
the vertex of this worlds war be-
cause of the unreasonable obstinacy
of any of the powers on the one
hand or of foOlhardiness amounting
to moral treason against the repub-
lie Of our people recklessly risking
their lives on armed beligerent ships.
To this President Wilson replied,
To forbid our people to exercise
their rights for fear we might be
called upon to vindicate them would
be deep humiliation. : = 1t would
make everything this government
has attempted and everything it has
achieved during this terrible strug
gle Of nations meaningless and fu-
tile"
The law furnishing free govern
ment seeds has been in existence for
many years. 1t has champions both
in Congress and out, who believe
free distribution promotes horticul
ture and an interest in vegetable
growing. About 100000 is annual
ly spent for that purpose and the de-
