Old Masters

The common street climbed. up
against the sky,
Gray meeting gray; and YEARLY
to and fro
I saw the patient common people
60,
Each, with his sordid burden,
trudging by.
And the rain dropped; there was
not any sigh
Or stir Of a live wind; dull, dull
and slow
All motion; as tale told long ago
The faded world; and creeping
night drew nigh.

CANALS AND RAILROADS

Some of US think that if the country were sufficiently honey combed with canals the cost of shipping would be radically reduced. Perhaps that is true in regard to the effect of waterways on railroad rates, q competitive water route al- ways having the tendency 10 keep railroad rates a shade lower than they would be otherwise.
 But as actual competitors of rail roads, waterways have yet to prove their worth under modern condi- tions. II that were the case the New York barge canal would be thor ough-goiug competitor of the New York Central railroad, which it parallels between the Hudson and Buffalo
 The barge canal is capable Of carrying 20,G00600 tons d year; but it actually carries only 2,5o0,0oD tons annually This is less than the old Erie canal carried during the Civil War. when the canal tonnage was 6,7O0,0oo a year.
 The only large shipper taking the barge canal seriously IS the Standard Oil company, which has expended s15, 5,ooo,0 GOO for barge canal equip ment. The oil company loads gasoline tankers at New York and distributes the product along the towns in the Mohawk valley.
 Standard officials must be Of the opinion the state of New York did a fine job when it constructed 8 canal which will save millions of dollars to the oil industry.

VIOLENCE FEARED AT TCAPETOWNP POLES
Flag Bill Introduced in South
 African Parliament

London, Oct. IT UP)-Political excitement and possible violence is anticipated in Capotown today when the much discussed flag bill is in- troduced in the South African par liament. according 10 Daily Mail dispatch.
 A member of the parliament is quoted as saying the controversy will be so bitter that violence culminat- ing in martial law may result.
 South Africa long has been trying to replace the Union Jack with an Independent African flag. Advo- catcs of the new flag, headed by Premier Hertzog, offer to allow a small shield with a microscopic Union Jack in a corner.
 The British press, generally op- poses the bill, pointing out that it revives racial enmities which arose when Boer and Briton fought each other.
 The newspaper. Referee, said: "All the other great Dominions are proud to display the Union lack in a place of honor. Does Premier Hertzog think it loyal and proper to submit a flag in which the Union Jack oc- cupies only a ono-siXth part?"
 The Sunday Times recalls that Great Britain blundered when it permitted the Shamrock to become the symbol of Irish dissatisfaction" "

The grade crossing crash in Indianapolis, which brought death to 16 persons. was one of the worst of the kind recorded in years. Here tofore the agitation for the removal of grade crossings has centered largely around those maintained by the railroads but this was not a railroad crossing. Western interur- ban trolley lines, having considerable distances to cover between cities, are uniformly high speed affairs and are fully as dangerous as railroads at crossings.
