She also objects strongly to the. deepemng of the St. Lawrence and making it a more adequate outlet for Canadian and American commerce. New York’s'motive is simple. It wants to mo- nopohze the .country’s ocean shipping. The desire is comprehensible enough, and'in a way, ‘pardonable. Cities, like nations, are seldom ' ' unselfish where .. économic interest is concerned. Where is the city, big or 1liftle, “that would voluntarxly give ‘up any of its business?: But here is a situation that demands dutnbu- tion. The metropolis cannot handle all the natign’s Atlantic trade. ‘Her water front is congested, her #dilway texminals are inadequate, her harbor is al- ways crippled by ‘labor troubles, her charges are necessarily higher than those of many /nther sea- ports.’ ‘And even if 'New York were able to take care of. --everything, it is not for the country’s best in- terest that its foreign trade should thus be con- centrated in one port, as it has been to so great an extent in the past. It robs other ports of their due share. Worse still, it prevents the develop- ment of ‘a system of outlets and inlets to serve the needs of the various sections. The more seaports and the better access to them the country has, on the ‘A'tlantic, the Gulf and the Pacific, the ‘better it will be for the"country. New York will have to recognize the fact, and reconcile herself to getting no more foreign busi- - ness hereafter than she is naturally qualified to handle. e ; ' T I'HE BiMlDJl DAILY PIONEER mr ey IMMIGRATION DAMMED UP. - Immigration continues to increase, though not to any alarming extent. ' There 'is every indiclhon that the ‘United . States, deprived of labor recruitl for several years, can use all that may arrive for an-: other year ‘or two ,even’ if American indultry is . .not running,at top speed. At the same time it is well/to be alert Reports from abroad say that there are at least 1 500,000 Europeans ready mnow 'to come to A enca. and kept from ‘coming ‘only by the lack of passenger ,ships ‘and our ‘strict immigration laws. 3 These two barriers are operating ' with .bont equal force. The dearth of transportation will dis- appear little by little, as ‘new liners are built and . put into commission. There will be a deluge then it ‘the immigration laws are relaxed. It will not do, therefore, to modify the present salutary re- strictions: in “any important respect. = Even'though American capacity for digesting aliens is better than: it used to be, thanks to several years of spare diet and improved Americanization methods, no good American wants to take a chance on such hordes as came before the war. | — A mob in North Carolina lynched a negro and it later turneéd out they had lynched an' innocent and law-abiding man, ‘who was industriously at work at the time the crime was committed. If a mob in a foreign country lynched an American citizen the United States would make war if neces- sary in order to uphold law and order, but in our own country mob violence, whether directed against - guilty or innocent, is allowed to run riot without restraint or hindrance.

Foley Bros., of St. Paul, who are among the largest railroad contractors in the northwest, was interviewed by The Pioneer last Tuesday regarding the proposed new extension of the Brainerd ‘& Northern Minnesota division of the Northern Pa- cific railroad, from Bemidji to the Rainy River region. The cohtract for the. work of building the road will be let today, and the work of building will begin at once. Regarding the route tlken out of Bemidji, Mr. Foley says -that in his opinion the road will not be built in either'of the surveyed routes; that he believes it will follow up on this side near the Great Northern depot and thence out | by the west side of the village. To build the road on the village side of the lake will make the road three miles longer than if it was.built around the east side, but the president of the road does mot take kindly to the ‘idea of backing up to the depot all times and forever, which cannot be escaped if the road goes around the lake by the east side. Then again the railroad company will hardly feel justified in breaking up and destroying our hke front through the village, although, when viewing - the location of the-depot, that would be the most - Gifted Imagination, Governor John A.
