through the Lake ports.
But it is not the business of the country to sus-
tain its ports. and transportation lines but for the
ports and transportation lines to deserve sustenance
by the service they prepared to give the country
Great and famous ports all over the world within
many centuries have passed away because of chang
ing trade routes Seventy-fve years ago there were
important river ports which almost forgotten.
An appeal to them to oppose the railroads which
to destroy them would have been sensible
the appeal of the Institute of American Business
to the southern ports to put themselves in the way
OF a new transportation route to Europe which will
greatly reduce the OF transportation and that is
essential to America in the competition for the worlds
market.
As matter OF fact, do not think the Institute
of American business is vitality concerned in the
future of the southern ports but only in the of
New York and in the railroads which now wastefully
carry the products of the country to that port, or
equally wastefully those of the Northwest from Buff
talo, whittier they have been brought by water to
be transshiped by railroad thence to be transshiped
across the Atlantic.
The American people proud of New York;
they proud of all their great cities ports but
they do not to be taxed unnecessarily high
transportation rates to maintain their commercial
gories.
And none of the great ports OF the country will
be wiped out by the st. Lawrence waterway Each
of the southern ports will continue to its adja
cent which it can better serve than any other
port. Each may increase the volume OF its natural
exports by development of the South American
trade in which the ST. Lawrence waterway would
not be competitor Each port would still serve
where it could best serve.

Indian Outruns
Sheriff's Auto,
Men and Horses

Shots failed to halt Jose Romerez,
a Yaqui Indian, when members OF
the sheriffs office attempted TO place
him under arrest Thursday night on
charge of robbery Romerez start
ed running when he saw the officers
coming after him in the foothills of
the mountains south Of the city. Sew
eral shots fired in his direction only
served as an impetus to his footwork
and he was still running when sight
ed again yesterday morning after an
all night chase.
Romerez started his flight from the
hands of justice about noon Thurs
day. The officers pursued him for a
short distance in an automobile. but
the Indian took a trail which could
not be followed with the car. Deputy
Sheriff Sterling Price and ans Indian
trailer took UP the chase on saddle
horses. and Deputy Glen Cole back
tracked until he saw the fugitive at
a point which was inaccessible even
TO the horse. So the officer dis
mounted and continued on foot. The
Indian. seeing the officer jumped
over a slight fall in the canyon and
quickly disappeared The officers
found cave where the fugitive had
evidently been making his quarters
during a brief respite from running.
Ramerez is the fourth of guar
tette of Indians believed to be respon-
sible for the disappearance of nu-
merous sets of harness and saddles in
the district south of the river The
others were placed under arrest yes

The St. Lawrene. and Southern Port.

"The Institute of American Business" has just
issued its third bulletin against the Fallacies of the
St Lawrence Water Way Scheme" 1t is needless
say that the habitat of the Institute is New York,
the seat of much American business but by
means all of it. or nearly all of it, The bulletin
attempts in the first place create national pref
udice against the undertaking by calling it Cana
dian project" when. every perceives, the
American lake cities and the tributary region
hracing the whole of the great Middle West would
be chief beneficiaries that the benefits would be
and the Southwest.
The bulletin, though is given principally TO the
effect of the development of the waterway upon eight
southern ports from Baltimore to Galveston. The
most serious effect though, as every one must at
once understand would be upon the port of New York
Institute appealing to other sections of the
country 'blatantly" conceals New Yorks selfish in
terest in the defeat of the waterway project
There are voluminous tables showing the remark
able growth Of the southern ports within the last
fifty years All this is to be at admitted but
the main thing the direction of countrys com
nerce is not to build up ports Exporters farmers and
manufacturers first to be served and the ports
next their rewards to be measured by the facilities
for handling the outgoing they can offer.
The thing first aimed is the cheapest transporta
zion, and that is what the ST. Lawrence waterway
promises to the grain growers and other producers
and manufacturers of the Northwest and the Mid
die West
That the St. Lawrence waterway would draw
from large area in the southern Middle West, and
section of the South is apparent. The i'm
nortance of the southern ports would, of course,
dvindle They would be left only with the commerce
ef restricted nearby area which could be handled

Well anyway when Jack read

The United States, with an estimated crop of

Everyone must observe the improved appear

years turned out to be really no problem all after

not find space in the block where he wanted to STOP
perhaps he could find it in the next block; and IL
not in that maybe in the next, or perhaps in some
still remoter block. Surely there would be place
to park.

compelled to walk few blocks But that was nothing

broken with impunity because there was no serious
effort to enforce them-by speeding disregard OF
ordinary rules, by absence of lights or imperfect
lighting. There seemed to be notion the part of
the authorities that if they enforced the regulations
they would give offense of which there would be a
reflex at election time. That was curiously mis-
taken notion Every right minded citizen approves
the enforcement of the law and many who are not
quite right-minded like the law enforced upon
other vioators Of the law than themselves. There
are moreover people who observe all laws and
regulations than there people who violate them
