 Zack, in his statement to Sergeant McAvay, claimed not to have seen the sled until after he felt a bump as though something had struck the rear of the car, and his son. LuCiau.
 13, who was with him, made the same claim. On the other hand, William Wollman, il, of 43O Bur rift street, who witnessed the accl dent, told the sergeant the sled struck a front wheel and Edward SadoSky, &, of 42j Burritt street, who was on the sled with the Sko- rupski boy, is equally certain it was q front wheel.

BEGINNING THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

If everything works out right the United States should have another Atlantic-Pacific canal Tn a dozen years picked battalion of 440 officers and retired from Chief of Engineers of the United States Army on account of having reached the age limit for active service will immediately begin the survey of the proposed Nicaragua Canal route. If their re- port is favorable it will in all probability be quickly followed by construction work It is estimated that years for the construction. Preliminary estimates are that it will take S 100000 to build the canal which will be between 180 and 19C miles in length. The need for rushing the work is due to the official estimates that within fifteen twenty years the Panama Canal will not be adequate to accommodate the traffic that will offer.
 The Nicaragua Canal, when we get it and it is almost certain that shall get it, will offer a shorter route between American Pacific and Atlantic ports and it is believed it will be better canal than the Panama
 While the Nicaragua Canal will be several times the Panama Canal the announcement that the United States is about to undertake it's construc- tion has scarcely caused ripple of excitement It was decided upon with practically no debate at all in Congress
 How different is this from the strenuous years of diplomatic negotiations and Congressional wrang- ling that preceded the beginning of the Panama Canal. We have grown immensely and progressed far since the beginning of the Panama Canal.

The Old-Time Fighters.
(New York World.)

T drove John L. Sullivan too," said MT Lewis Repeti, Of the hack drivers of the nineties in an interview for The World land Bob Fitzsm- monS but didn't care much about them. Old John L. would kick the windows out of your cab if he felt like it, and Fitzsimmons had a habit of offering to fight you for his fare" And here it to us is aspect of the good old days that gets too little attention.
 It is all very well to argue that in this glorious time the fighters were tougher, and probably they were; yet when you stop to think about it, tough ness is one of those things which have their advan- tages and their disadvantages Fighters it should be remembered, do not spend all of their time in the ring. In fact, they do not spend even l per cent. of their time in the ring The other 99 per cent. plus they spend public personages, riding in cabs, making speeches setting an example to the youth of the land. And what citizen would like to have his son emulate John L. Sullivan? Or Robert Fitzsimmons? If boys took to emuating them for any considerable period American civi- zation would be put back so far that even an Es- kimo would laugh at it. Much better, in our opin- ion, is the modern type of fighter, like Dempsey, who addresses the Wisconsin Senate, or like Tun- ney, who gives lectures at Yale.
 And so far as the time spent in the ring goes If you match Sullivan against Dempsey, and Fitz- simmons against Tunney vice versa, our money will be on the modern lads every time Something tells us that in spite of their soft manners they could have cleaned these old-time idols without soap.

 Indian affairs than some of his predecessors He has not taken long to make his first step which IS the announcement of complete change in pol icy. The system of reservations" it is reported. will be abandoned and an attempt will be made to
 bring the Indian usefuly into the general life of the country. One accepts the change with hope not free from misgiving No one can claim that
 the reservations are success The standard of life
 on these Indian lands is extremely low The death- rate IS very high high especially the infantile death rate But the fault probably lies less in the system than Tn the spirit in which it has been
 handled The lands allotted for Indian use have been often worthless for agricuture they were chosen in many cases because they were not wanted
 by anyone else rather than because they were suit
 able to the Indians The efforts to educate Indian children nave been along the entirely mistaken line oI trying to cram them into the rigid framework of the ordinary American curriculum which has either broken or aienated their spirits Their
 friends allege that they have been consistently
 scamped of medical, legal or agricultural advice.
 under such conditions the attempt to make the
 Indian peoples as independent economic entity on a farming basis could hardly be expected to suc- ceeu ana perhaps 1t is too late now to make a
 new ana more conscientious effort in that direction AL the same tune one does not envsage them praying very exalted part in the general life of .ne Anierican nation It is where economic

HIGH TARIFF CROWD IN LINE FOR
 DEFEAT.

With Senator Reed Shoot voting for the lowest of the offered tariff schedules with regularity that promises to become habitual Senator Couzens, formerly an ultra high tariff man. become a militant advocate of lower tariffs, and the beet sugar men protesting against the three cents pound sugar tariff increase carried in the House bill 1t is not too much to say that there has been a radical change in sentiment on the tariff question since the campaign of last year There many things that indicate that the Republicans have learned few things since the Mckinley Bill and the Payne-Aldrich Bill were forced on a reluctant country, for the chances seem to be that if we get new tariff bill at all, it will not carry the drastic increases that promised during the 1928 campaign or that the leaders had in mind when the Hawley Bill passed the House.
 And this time the opposition to the tariff bill has not been political development. It has come from the people themselves, and the political re- action first showed among Republican Senators and newspapers.
 The high tariff crowd appears to be on a fast moving toboggan.
