candidates will be successful" he

Senator Phipps to act as major domo

Editorial Comment
Why New York Resists
(St. Paul Dispatch)

(St. Paul Dspatch)
One point in Secretary Hoover's inland waterway
speech is worth particular notice. Referring to tho
advantages that will be gained by bringing the ocean
to the great lakes, he said:
Today on the st. Lawrence river it costs
from Sla to 10 cents per bushe for storage,
reloading and transportation between Buff
falo and Montreal. With direct action the
major part of this should be swaziland it
would reflect in farm prices in every lake
state.
This explains the bitter hostility with which New
York is fighting the st. Lawrence Underwater prof.
ect. 1t explains why plans to make that river nav
igabe for ocean vessels was met with the cry that
ocean vessels cannot navigate in restricted chan
nels, that the scheme was an engineering impossi-
bility, and why now, under cover of much rhetoric
about patriotism and national defense, a counter
project for al-American route through New
York state has been brought forward. The New
York route is being advocated as means Of obvat-
ing the st. Lawrence bypass and also as means
Of unloading on the government the New York barge
canal, which is proving expensive white elephant.
Throughout all its Inconsistencies and selfcon-
Traditions and changes Of front, the opposition to
the st. Lawrence route has preserved an inner
sstency At all times it has kept clearly before it's
eyes the single, all-important object Of not ren-
gushing the tribute which it levies against western
shippers and producers the traffic that comes
down the lakes for export. So long as the grain
vessels that come down the lakes can be forced to
break bulk and transship, the tribute will continue
Although it seemed to capitulate on the principle
in proposing alternative al-American route as
though it's opposition based chiefly on patriotic
grounds it has done nothing Of the kind. The pro-
posed New York route does not contemplate the free
movement of ocean vessels into the lakes. At the
most it proposes to transfer the transshipping point
from Buffalo to Albany. The tribute Of from to
10 cents bushel that is levied the western farm
err would continue to pour into New York.
whole continent is pressing towards the sea-
few selfish interests in single state cannot i'm
definitely block it's progress.

All! Sweet Accord!

The day Of peace is at hand. Premier Mussolni's
brother has called off duel he had intended to en-
JOY with General Bencivenga.
We were greatly encouraged when we heard OF
this, but on top of 1t ALL what do you suppose has
happened! Why for the first time in years an
election was held in Juarez, Mexico, the other day
and not one person was killed. There were fights,
of course and one man was shot in the jaw, but no
one was killed
We are anxiously awaiting the next bulletin from
Herrin, Ill.,. with the fond hope that perhaps after
all the day of loving harmony is at hand.

Modified Golf Language

A couple of weeks ago man was hailed into an
English police court and fined "for using bad Ian
guage." The astonishing thing is that he was pun
ished for having used it "in the hearing of members
of golf club" They seem to have been the COM
plainants. If so, it shows what has become Of the
fine old tradition Of golf as the great begetter Of
picturesque profanity. Now it would appear that
We have fallen such lily-lvered days that golfers
far from swearing themselves must be protected
from contamination by the profanity of Others Gone
are the days of the terrible major in bunker with
such terrible language issuing from its depths that

Traffic Deaths Decrease

There is hope that traffic fatalities now standing
az the amazing figure Of $4,000 year in this co,,n.
try, have reached the crest and are now beginning
% decrease. A. b. Barber, manager OF the depart
ment OF transportation of the chamber Of commerce
OF the United States, and director Of the national
conference on street and highway safety is of this
OPINION According to the reports for the first
months OF the year the figures indicate a slight
tendency toward reduction in the total of accidents
for the country, taken as whole The estimates
OF this reduction range from to Is per cent as
compared with the corresponding months this year
This is very encouraging for if this record is con-
tinued throughout 1926, it will be the first year
since the motor vehicle began to be a problem that
an actual decrease, compared with the previous
year, has been noted. More encouraging STILL Mr..
Barber thinks that it is only the beginning Of a
continued reduction and that in 10 years will look
back and wonder why such frightful numbers Of
fatalities occurred and why it took so long to bring
about improvement.
We hope Mr. BARRIERS opinion is correct and that
the forecast comes true Certainly it will be biz
feather in the cap of newspapers if this is true for
it has been through the medium of the newspapers
that the general public has been educated by the
horrible example reflected in the columns and
by the editorial admontion to take care, to a real
izaton Of the traffic danger and appraisal Of the
proper methods of safeguarding their safety
not inconsiderable contributing factor of
course, is the increasing experiences with which mo-
tor vehicles are being operated The drivers are
becoming more expert and more careful.
The shocking loss Of life through traffic accidents
has been blot upon development that otherwise
has been of the greatest boons to the human
race and it is we'll that conditions are lettering
themselves.
