A CANAL AND A RIVER.
(St. Louis Republic )


 The opening of the Erie Canal, enlarged to hoai of the greatest engineering enterprises of recent years. The cost of the work to date-it Is not entirely fnshed-has been $234 ,000 ,000, and it's capacity is expected to be about 12,000 900 tons oi freight moved one way, though the figure could be greatly exceeded under ideal conditions.
 The value of the canal aid to the railroads in this period of congestion is great that the Government has undertaken control o the canal, though it will be open to private enterprise also, and the canal will enjoy all the advantage. of complete coordination with the railroads, tho Government manages both
 Joint rates and terminals will insure large business for the canal least in freight east though good authorities do not regard the tion of westbound cargoes quite clear at pres ent is the canal destined to spring at into full
 This prospect arises from the same old story of plenty of water, but boats and terminals The big barges which to ply the big canal arc still mostly paper in the discussion stage. al though the date for the completion of the canal has long been set with approximate certainty
 But the matter stands the barge canal must increase the advantage which New Yorl respondinc advantage which Chicago and other lakt ports enjoy other inland cities Water petition has long given Chicago and New Yorl the benefit of low freight rates and that gives tho opening of the barge canal something more than curious interest St. Louis and the other rive cities
 The canal from St. Louis to tidewater is already built and ready for It is broad and free an6 the same which have moved the Govern ment to plan the construction of 100 barges for use on the canal apply to the Mississippi River It alsc is capable of taking part of the railroad bur den and of giving the people of greatandpopu ious region better and cheaper transportation. Why is this not done?

The Red Cross has sent out appeal to the 500 GOO newspapers and magazines which have been raising money to buy tobacco urging them to speed up the campaign for funds These publications have raised about quarter of million dollars which has been expended for tobacco by the Our Boys in France Tobacco Fund" committee of New York and the tobacco distributed largely through the American Red Cross
 The committee which expends this money in New York is separately financed. All of it's overhead ex- penses have been guaranteed. It organized by s. S. Mcclure, the great American journalist who editor and of McClulre's Magazine which popular few years ago, and for many years and still of the Mcclure syndicate which han dles and stories for writers and newsgatherers whose offerings it sells newspapers magazines and book publishers. &ts &
 The committee guarantees to subscribers to the tobacco fund that the money subscribed is invested in tobacco at better than usual wholesale prices, and distributed without cost to subscriber of beneficiary In addition the overhead charges the transporta- tion and other costs paid for from other than the fund itself Therefore the boys in France get 45 cents worth of tobacco every 25 cents tributed.
 The circumstance that Harvey D. Gibson, general manager of the National headquarters at Washington rectly 10 the 500 GOO publications, which have engaged in raising money for the tobacco fund.- to urge that the contributions for tobacco be speeded mp, is in itself guarantee that the money contributed through this fund is well handled
 Thus far The Empire has raised approximately sS50 for this fund Many of the contributors to the fund have received postcards from the boys France who have testified to the pleasure and comfort con- veyed by the gifts,

THE BONDHOLDER.

France wisely took the citizens of the republic into bushes with the republic long ago. when the French Government issued bonds for small amounts so that investment in them might become wide spread In America before this war, the phrase 'bloated bondhoder' current Ownership of bonds of any sort spelled in the popular imagination wealth Government bonds regarded popularly as the property of plutocrats exclusively
 The American Government by issuing small bonds has invited every thrifty citizen of the republic come its partner The effect will be, as it has been in France, to give the average citizen better quantance with the history of his country and a keener interest in it's achievements.
 In France your barber is a bondholder He may know less about the races than his American coeauec knows, and nothing at all about baseball because baseball is not a French game, but he knows the Who's Who of French military and political history lie Knows good deal about the fiscal affairs of France He tells you how great country is France and why the republic will live forever, surrounded by monarchic countries, but safely and everlasingly anti-monarchieal His spirit is the fiber the per yading patriotism of France laid bare while the Iah CT IS applied or the razor sropped. Before you have left the chair you have had intimate view Of the French republic than you gained by reading books or ponderng the landmarks and monuments of Paris. The gardener who grows your vegetables the girl who sells flowers. the small tradesman and the restauranteur who feasts you handsomely for cou pie of francs and serves the wine with flourish that imparts the flavor of vintage to quite ordinary win ordinaire is in business with France as P holder of bonds and shrewd optimistic intensely interested spectator of national events
 The American Government never does anything by halves. It has issued small bonds baby bonds war

 Statistics given of the payments on account of burglaries had increased from $400,000 in 1914 to $1,100,000 in 1916 and to about $5,000,000 in 1917.
 Compensation for stolen goods amounting to nearly $15.000000 was paid by the Prussian railways in 1917, as compared with a total of $1,050.- 900 in 1914.

Luke McLuke Says There are so many cranks in this country that if the Society For the Prevention of Useless Noises ever or ganized and held a convention the delegates would probably be arrested for disturbing the peace and creating disturbance.

 Nature seldom gives man a com plexion because she knows that the durn fool would spend as much time on it as a girl does on hers. It may be cowardly to place the blame on a dead man, but it is mighty convenient.
 So many men need managers that it is probably all for the best that most men are married.

THE ELKS AND THE WHITE HOUSE WOOL.

Juneau gets that White House wool, and thanks for that due to the Juneau Elks. Juneau could not have afforded have lost that wool As the leading city in the Territory and the one with great resources it would have been humiliating to have had it said that smaller place. because gener- ous had outbid in subscribing to Red Cross fund, and thereby become the custodian a war souvenir that will become greatly prized as years accumulate. Other towns truthfuly say that Juneau ought have outbid them, she great in population and aggregate wealth. Juneau could not have said that if she had lost the prize
 But Juneau probably would have lost the wool if it had not been for the Juneau Elks. Like this live organization has done many a time in many 2 place. it to the front and saved the day for us And it was very proper matter for the Elks to take up. The R. P. O. E. is exclusively an Amer can order, and with it patriotic lodge matters. In this instance the Juneau lodge has helped Uncle Sam and saved Juneau's face.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La, Oct 15.--Node- rate declines were made by cotton to0ay under dullness, the feeling that peace was not as near tas it seemed day or two ago, and the bearish showing of consumption in this coun- try during the month of September
 President Wilson's reply to Ger many created feeling of satisfaction but it gave the market no buying power.
 Last prices for the day were at a net decline of "A to 32 points.
 In the afternoon. following the re- ceipt of storm warnings for the gulf coast, the market did better for a while, but fell off again toward the end.
 At no time was any real buying power attained and business was re- str;cted by the spread of influenza which practically crippled wire serv- ice.
 Cotton closed steady at a decline of 24 to 32 points.
