Why Not Two Canals?

Extension OF deep waterway up
the Hudson river to Albany and the
painful slowness with which negotia-
tons for the Great Lakes-St. Law

well raise the question Of why not
two outlets to the sea?
The Hudson river channel to AL
bany now will accommodate 80 per
cent OF the ocean-going vessels of the
world and makes of New York states

Extending westward from Albany
is the old Erie canal, which advocates
OF the so-called All-American water
way would resuscitate and make a
great artery Of commerce once more.

deep-water ships it would materially
improve the transportation facilities
to our own northwest, even though
the results would hardly be as salts
factory as via the st. Lawrence route
So far as the northwest is con-
cerned, however, we cannot have too
much water transportation from the
head of the lakes eastward. If wa
ter-borne goods could be sent to and
from the northwest both by way of
the st. Lawrence and the Hudson, it
would be benefit. While not as i'm
portant as direct and cheap route
to Liverpool, water connection with
New York and the lower Atlantic
coast is not to be sneezed at. Add to
this the proper development of the
Mississippi Missouri rivers for inland
barge transportation and we may well
see the return of the water commerce
which first opened the middle west to
settlement-but on a new and much
cheaper basis.

No Place for the Red Cross

Anyone who has watched the mag
nificent work done by the Red Cross
in North Dakota during the last two
years will agree that this great or
ganization should be kept out of poll
tics. Members of all political factions
contribute to it and assist it in its
work. Respect for it and for the de-
cencies of humanity should dictate
that it be left alone to do its work
without political candidates. being at
tached to it in an effort to shine in
the reflection of its glory.
To his credit let it be said that Gov
ernor Shafer has himself claimed no
credit for his activities in Red Cross
work. He did his share but no more
SO than thousands of other North Da-
kotans, of all political faiths, who
gave of what they had that their
neighbors might live.
Many of the governors campaign
managers, however, have taken to the
hustings with a red flag in one hand,
calling on the people to see and take
heed, and with a Red Cross flag in
the other. The latter is symbolic of
their claim that their candidate saved
the people of the state who needed
help. The inference is that he did it
alone and single-handed.
That sort of thing is nauseating.
Candidates George F. Shafer, Gerald
P. Nye, Frank H. Hyland and on down
the list did no more to assist the Red
Cross in its work, their positions con-
sidered, than hundreds of thousands
of other North Dakotans who organ
lied gladly to meet an apparent need.
Not one of them gave as much, in
proportion, as the man who was
helped in 1881 by the American Lee
gion's Open Your Heart campaign
and who, in 1882, gave one of his
mighty few dollars to the renewal of
that enterprise.
To drag the Red Cross into the
North Dakota political campaign this
year is a confession of weakness which
the governor and his advisors should.
guard against. In justice to himself,
the governor should ask his support
ers, publicly, if this ballyhoo contin-
ues, to find another pedestal upon
which to hold him up for public adj
miration.
The reaction against seeking to cap
italize Red Gross activities politically
already has set in. 1t may prove
powerful boomerang.
And, as supporters of the Red Cross,
we reiterate, it is not a partisan or
ganization. Need (and not political
need) is the measure Of its service.
Whoever drags it into politics does it
an evil turn.

bushes to purloin a few flowers or
who. even now, are making raids on
the numerous spirea bushes which add
such charm to many sections of Bis
marck.
The practice is to be condemned OF
course, although all of us have either
yielded to the same temptation at
some time or other or have at least
felt its urge.
However, the best argument against
the practice is that it defeats the
ends Of those who engage in it. The
idea Of taking flower from its ma
tural setting is born, usually. in the
desire which all OF us know, to cap
ture the beauty which appeals to US.
II we yield to that thought without
foresight or analysis, the result may
well be a ruined bush, a damaged
flower bed.
II, however, we stop to realize that
the attempt to capture the beauty
which so impresses us, inevitably re.
suits in its destruction, VIC may stay
our hands.
For beauty is a perishable thing
The spirited action OF a horse, the
tense interest of dog in the field,
the flash of a bird on the wing, or
the sway of flower on it's stem, all
disappear the moment we attempt to
capture them and make them our
own.

The Grain-Trade Cat

Plenty OF black cats should leap out
of the guaranteeing bag when the
grain futures commission, consisting
of the secretary of agriculture, attor-
ney general and secretary of COM
merce, opens its hearing June 8 at
Washington on charges brought by
the Farmers National Grain corpora
ton against the Chicago Board of
Trade.
Action was taken at the request of
the farm boards cooperative agency
after its trading firm had been
barred from the exchange.
It is not to be supposed that the
board Of trade suffered a sudden
spasm of conscientious horror when
it found the cooperative commission
firm had technically violated one of
its rules.
A more reasonable view seems to be
that the boards directors felt the
time was ripe for q showdown on
this much-discussed question. The
grain trade feels that the Hoover adj
ministration has let It down rather
badly. So do the farmers.
But the grain trade probably wants
to know just what is what before it
responds with the old liberality to the
plea for campaign funds.
At any rate, the hearing is going to
put three members Of Mr.. Hoover's
cabinet in . pretty tough spot, al
though they may beg the issue by Or

HAIL TO A HORSE!

HAIL TO A HORSE!
New York, June AS Broadway's
most experienced and oldest animal
trouper, Hannah is oddly ingenious
and untemperamental. She will still
accept mere cubes or greens from a
gutter adjoining stage entrance.
Yet, as horses go, Hannah has every
right to put on the dog.
Hannah's particular distinction lies
In the fact that she has never been
performing or trick horse-she has
been an acting horse And for 18
years she has been going around the
circuits. Whenever a show company
has wanted a nag in that period OF
time, the phone request would usually
be Whats Hannah doing?" Hannah
has been dependable, never has missed
a cue, never demanded special billing
and didn't care much whether or not
her name was on the program.

And she has appeared with most of
the great stars of the theater. Insofar
as her biography has been assembled,
she seems to have first bowed in as
Paul Reveres horse in an old stage
spectacle. Others say her premiere
was in ben Hur." At any rate, adj
mirerS insist that she was the first
stage horse of any consequence.
X X X
It was Vincent Lopez who had Han
nah on tour most recently. Lopez
was appearing in Chicago. And there
it was that Hannah had her most en-
barrassing moment. Harry Keller
booking for Lopez, had tied Hannah
to fireplug in front of the theater
while waiting her entrance time
When the stage hand went outside
to get her, Hannah was wearing tag
There was a summons for parking a
horse.
Keller, realizing what arrest might
do to Hannah's career, Immediately
checked the Chicago regulations and
came upon a venerable hitching post
ordinance. A horse was entitled to be
hitched to a hitching post. And
where, demanded Keller, could a
hitching post be found?
There was no answer. And, SEEM
ingly, in all Chicago there was no
hitching post. Then, argued Keller,
since Hannah was entitled by law to
post and there was no post, she had
done the best she could.
So Hannah returns to New York
with reputation unblemished.
