Important to the future of the United States, to many great cities, to other cities still to be born, and to millions of Americans. Ameri-cans. Recently the treaty between the United States and. Canada for the con-structlon con-structlon of a great St. Lawrence ocean ship canal from the Atlantic to the Great Lakes was signed. It will cost nearly six hundred million dollars, dol-lars, twice as much as the Panama Canl, and take seven years to build. When the canal is finished, Chicago, Chica-go, Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, all cities on the lakes will be seaports as much as New York, Boston or San Francisco. Food and other products from all farms within reach of tn lakes, steel from Gary, Buffalo and other plants, products of all the factories of all the lake cities, harvesting machinery, Detroit's De-troit's automobiles, all will travel to XV all parts of the world, by water, at low freight rates. The great cities of the lakes will grow in importance, wealth, population and prosperity, and other cities, Innumerable, In-numerable, will add to the number of seaports and factories within reach of ocean traffic. "It hath not. yet been shewn what we shall be." This ocean waterway, adding every foot of frontage on the Great Lakes, to our seaboard line with limitless harbor facilities, will help show what we shall be.

Both married Indians, one was Mrs. J White Eagle, the other Mrs. Charlie j Williams. Life seemed dull to these ladles, in Akron. Ohio. Perhaps they had read about the "impassioned sheik" or "noble red man." Anyhow, they married two of nature's Panama noblemen and when rescued were lying ly-ing on board platforms In leaky mud huts and said they could not have stood it much longer. The Indians offered no objection to their going. Perhaps they had too often oft-en made odious comparisons, connecting connect-ing Akron and the Panama jungle. The "Husbands" Protective Association" Associa-tion" should send those rescued ladles on a lecturing tour, to tell American wives, "Even what you call a dull husband, hus-band, with a double chin, an outsize waist and a chamber of commerce mind, is better thaa what you think you want."

The man died, his larynx was broken. brok-en. Doctors testified that he was beaten with a rubber hose to emphasize empha-size the persuasive character of the "rocking" process. Newspapers of the North have recently re-cently been devoting considerable attention, at-tention, with exclamations of horror, to the killing of a prisoner in a Florida Flori-da convict camp. In a disagreeable way. They now have something to talk about nearer to home. ; Chile's Socialist government asks our recognition, promising to be friendly and not Interfere with our government, if we let hers alone, which seems "fair enough."
