Indiana commission Of the Great Lakes
St Lawrence Tidewater Association, as
well as chairman Of the conservation
commission Of the State Of Indiana, has
returned to Indianapolis from his trip
Of inspection of the proposed st. Law
renee deep-water project. Mr.. Guthrie
made the trip at the request of Governor
Warren T. McCray, and was accompanied
by Ex-Governor James P. Goodrich,
member Of the Indiana commission, and
their report OF the trip Will lie sub
mitted to the Governor
There were in the party about one
hundred and eighty persons, of whom
about one hundred and forty were Amer

SEVEN LOCKS
IN CANAL.
In speaking today Of his trip. Mr..
Guthrie touched upon their inspection of
the locks under construction in the New
Welland Canal, and said this was the
fourth canal constructed on this route,
the first canal, connecting Lakes Erie
and Ontario, having been constructed in
1888. He said that the fourth canal, now
under construction, provides for seven
locks with a useable length Of 500 feet.
50 feet wide, 80 feet deep, at the sills, and
with lift of 4612 feet each.
Various features of the canal were
touched upon by aim and he said that It

completed nearly 500. 600 900, and Will be

charges Of any kind. 1t is now 90 Per
cent completed, he added, and II is the

GREAT POWER
DEVELOPMENT.
Mr.. Guthrie, in his conclusions formed
by his trip and hearing the reports OF
prominent power and spOrtation ex-
Pcrts and engineers, referred to
the possibilities OF electrical power de-
velOpment from the project and OF the
benefit it would be to the Middle West
and Northwest by lowering the cost Of
transportation, while the electrical
power developed would find a ready mar
ket In New England and New York. and
that this revenue, after paying all operat-
Ing expenses, would be sufficient to pay
the interest on the cost of the project
and pay or the principal Of the bonds
issued in from thirty to dfty years
He added that in order that the two
governments shah not be embarrassed In
a financial way a corporation could be
organized by authority OF Canada and
the United States under proper treaty
and legislation with suthority to proceed
with the work under national supervision.
and the bonds issued for the work guar
anteed by the two governments in order
10 make certain their sale on favorable
terms.

PLANNING THE CAMPAIGN.

"a meeting IS to be held this evening at the city
hall for. the purpose Of making plans for the organ
ization in the city of the independent campaign.T The
work that is to be performed between now andHthe
and the time is not too long for what is necessaryeto
be done.
It is desired that all-who are willing to take part
in the work Of the campaign shallgattend at this time
in order that right at the outset as complete an orr
ganizaion as possible may be made. Arrangements
ought to be1nade now for work in every precinctsing
the city for the double purpose of rendering the
campaign and Of arousing sufficient interest to in:
sure a full attendance at. the polls.
With the facts already before the public, under
stood as they are, there isno room for doubt thatsthe
independents will be successful at the Forthcoming
election if a reasonably full vote is polled. The
people are now familiar with the conditions under
which the affairs Of the state have been administered,
of these conditions. There is however always the.
danger that too many people will take the result Of
an election for granted and will themselves remain
away from the polls. Many a cause which. has had
the sentiment Of the public behind it has failed Of
success just for this reason:
1t is to be expected that numerous gatherings
OF citizens, local and general, will be held during the
next four weeks. Some we'll planned organization is
necessary for the making of arrangements for such
meetings, to provide speakers, and to do the other
things which are essential to the success Of these
gatherings. For this, precinct and general organiza-
tons will be necessary and it is the purpose of the
meeting tonight to make preliminary arrangements
to this end. $3.50.
Those who arc sufficiently interested and will
be willing to work will be expected tovolunteer for
this purpose in order that their duties may be assign.
ed them and that the work of the campaign may pro-
coed in an orderly manner and with sufficient steam
behind it to make it move.

AS evidence that there IS a power outside of
themselves which watches over some of our people
and protects them from harm, just read this little
tale, for the correctness OF which The Herald vouch-
es:
On Wednesday, a few minutes after 5 p. m, a
local resident was driving at a leisurely pace souths.
ward on. Third street. Both sides of the street were
we'll lined with cars, as is customary at that hour.
Between Alpha and Kittson avenues this driver
counted twelve persons who crossed the street at
points other than the street intersections. In two
cases the pedestriansfwere women wheeling baby
carriages in which were infants, and one Of these
was accompanied by a friend carrying a small child.
In this case the two women were engaged so earn
estly in conversation that they were we'll into the
travelled roadway before they noticed that cars were
moving in both directions. Then followed hesita-
ton, excitement, a few backward steps, one or two
false starts, and a last desperate rush for the farther
side of the street. Drivers going in both directions
were compelled to stop, shift gears, and start again,
and one escaped humping the little party by a mat
ter of inches.
Another case was that of a little girl aged about
six, leading a bicycle. It was no small job to get
the bike through between two parked cars, and when
the little miss got into the driveway she stood stock
still. to wait for cars onsthe farther side to pass;
without noticing that she was directly in the path of
a car approaching from the other direction, and
about two feet distant.
In any of these cases, had a pedestrian been
struck by a car the driver would have been expected
at least to show that the collision was not his fault.
he. would nave been under suspicion, II nothing
more. And yet in those few moments a dozen peo-
pie were inviting accidents in which they might have
been killed or MANNED, and in which others were
likely to be injured.
This sortiof thing cannot be entirely prevented,
but it can be reduced almost to the vanishing point.
The process is very simple. Let a policeman watch
until he sees some one crossing the street in the
middle Of the block, which wilrbe about two minutes
from the time when he begins to watch. Then let
him escort that person, kindly, but firmly, back
again, and give simple instructions. on how to find
up for one whole day viii get himself seriously dis
liked by several people, but he will have the enthusi-
astic approval Of everybody else. And, in case Of
obstinacy or insolence, let him lead the culprit to
the lookup.

oPEN no THE r

Mayor Leach, Of Minneapolis, intends to have
his desk in the city hall where he can see is
going on in the outer office, and where all persons
who wish to see him can get at him. The plan has
its merits and its defects. The man who keeps HIM
self housed up in an inner office, with a lot Of secre-
.taries and assistant secretariessto stand between him
and the spopulace undoubtedly misses alot OF fun.
Also, he misses seeinga good many people whomhe
would like to see, and to meet whom would be a
good experience for both. The exclusive official
misses a good deal of the human touch which is so
necessary in the successful conduct of public affairs.
In making himself completely accessible to the pub
lie Mr. Leach proposes to answer his own telephone.
That will perhaps save the time of persons who wish
0 talk with the mayor over the wire. But just when
the mayor is going TO get time to do anything else
il he does his own telephoning is a mystery.
The easy accessibility Of a public official has its
drawbacks. If the mayor Of Minneapolis adheres to
his present purpose and makes the outer office his
workshop, where he will be prepared to meet all
Corners, he is going to be a very busy man, so busy
that he is not likely to accomplish much. His time
will be taken up by people with petty grievances,
and cranky notions, and the passion for paying their
respects to dignitaries that the real business of man
aging the executive department of the government
Of a great city will have to be attended to, if at all,
after everybody else has gone to bed.
It'll to be noted, however, that the mayor will
still retain an inner private office for emergency use,
and it is safe to predict that he will find it convenient
to retire into that sanctum quite often, and to issue
instructions that until furtherinotice he is mot at
home"

A CASE FOR INDIVIDUAL EFFORT.

The suggestion lemanating from certain Arneri-
can bankers that an international congress should be
held at some time in the near future for the purpose
of discussing the sterilization of foreign exchange
has not met with favor on the other side of the At
lantic, and it is improbable that such a conference
will be held. The reason advanced for Discrimination
to take part in such a conference is that the causes
the present situation have been
thoroughly discussed and are we'll understood, and
that it is only by the applications o f the principles
which have already been developed that real i'm
provement can be effected.
sAsLondon banking firm puts the case succinctly
in the following words:
There is no one royal and easy path to ex-
change stabilisation, in fact, years will probably
elapse before even the most strenuous and WE'LL
directed efforts on the. part of each country can
restore to the complex International financial
machinery its pre-war sfaoothness Of working!
The causes of the dislocation have already been
repeatedly and exhaustively discussed, and
there is a serious danger that another Interna-
tional Conference, such as that proposed, might
result i'll too much reliance being placed upon
international action and too little upon individ-
sual effort. Each country must, to a very large
extent, work out its own salvation, for the richer
nations can only assist the poorer by helping
them to help themselves and BY avoiding such
obstructive actions as the erection of tariff bar
riers and the adoption of other similarly mar
row and short-sighted policies.
!! much the same way, there is a danger
that IN focusing attention on the transient en-
couragement given to exports-when the for
>e1gn exchange quotation for a currency is less
than its real value-the more permanent fac
tors in world competition may be given less than
their proper value.
The points brought out above are pertinent
conferences and commissions and associations have
there legitimate field, and in certain cases prove very
useful. But there is always danger that the effort
be made to substitute these for the application Of the
basic principles on which all prosperity rests. We
lind the same tendency in relation to the affairs OF
individuals. When government agencies are created
for the purpose of aiding private industry to func-
ton more successfully, such agencies are valuable.
But no government agency can serve as a substitute
Tor personal effort, and when people rely on gov
eminent assistance for that which can be accomp-
for the government to keep its hands off.

To the surprise Of every. one. Sir
Ralph Carlton returns unexpectedly
young bride to grace his ancestral home
in the village Of Upper Scotney. Hoping
to relieve His young wife from the te-
dunn Of household duties. for which she
had no liking, Sir Ralph asks his broth
er's daughter to remain in her Sself-ap-
pointed post Of Gho%usekeeper. Thereafter,
all goes happily enough, despite ga-,few
disagreementss between the newly mar
ried pair. until a certain Captain Wharf
comes from India to visit them. Sir
Ralph objects to- the mans somewhat
too pointed attentions, to hts wife and
the visit terminates very suddenly. That

She lay. quite peacefully, almost as
it might be one sleeping, on her
back with her face. upward to the
light. The small, perfect features had
eve looked more faultless, the
slightly tpeevish expression which
mouth had gone; the golden hair ly.
ing in very little disorder made a
beautiful frame for the marble white
face. One hand outstretched lay
palm upward onSthe floor, the other
was bent over her body.
1t was evident that she had not,
come out in response to any sudden,
unexpected summons. Even in life
the excessive neatness and daintiness
Of her dress had almost seemed to
convey a tacit reproach to me, who
only, with the greatest effort, could
be at the trouble to take decent care
in death, the delicacy OF the fine lace
edging about the neck and corsage Of
the clinging blue tea-gown and the
attention that she had evidently given
to every detail Of her toilette made
g curious contrast and almost a mute
protest against the disorderly attire
Of Uncle Ralph and myself.

whose education. suppose, makes

incongruity and horror OF the whole.
