To develop the possibilities of the barge canal, two things are necessary. Barges must be built. Then the operating companies must have freight to keep the barges working To develop the possibilities of the Barge Canal in return for the huge investment by the State, the Board of Trade and | ransportation is acting as a volunteer go-between {tis encouraging responsible eli bk to build and operate barges. It is canvassing the business houses of New York for possible freight. The board says to the business men: “You think you can’t use the canal because you fever have used it. Don’t be too sure you can't. fnvestigate. Keep an open mind. Find out phether you can. Let us have your name to turn @ver to prospective barge operators.” = Then the board turns to other business men and asks: } “Why not operate barges? A barge that cost $80,000 last year can be built for about $50,000 this year. The first cost is not likely to go lower. Now is the time to get started.” } This is the kind of promotion work that counts. i is doubly desirable now. Cargoes pledged in advance will encoufage barge-building. Once the barges are built, the operators can bid for east- bound traffic from the lake ports. If the rates ave. satisfactory, it provides the strongest argu- ment against the projected St. Lawrence Canal. The Board of Trade and Transportation is helpful because it is shaking business men out of the rut of reliance on railroads. It is opening their minds to the possibility of the new and bet- ter and cheaper means of transportation. “NORMALCY” CAUSES TROUBLE. IFE in Washington these days seems to be just one scandal after another. ~One would have to go back a generation to find a’parallel to the suspicion, questioning and chal- lenging that are now the order of the day. ‘The Teapot Dome oil lease, exposed by The Evening World, is slated for investigation. The whole question of civil-service rules and regulation is in dispute. The Department of “Justice is under firé for failure to prosecute war frauds. The War Department has been severely criti- cised in regard to sales of supplies The Treasury Department must expect an in- vestigation of the forged and duplicated bond charges. ‘Conservation and trade combination proposals have evoked criticism in Congress and out. Tariff and bonus lobbying is notorious. Fortunately for the country, the dissatisfaction is:not confined to the Democratic Party. Some of the most serious criticisms have come from nomi- nal members of the party in power. As a result, partisanship is temporarily eliminated. ‘The public wants to know. Republican lead- ers dare not face the country without clearing up the, mysteries and conspiracies. For the moment the fight against the reaction- ary return to “normalcy” is within the G. O.

The earlier prize-fighter and gang-leader shouldered his way to the place from which he practically ruled the city. During that rule he amassed wealth. To the 2 ‘ Mazet committee he frankly admitted he “was working for his own pocket all the time.” When he finally left New York and went to live like a lord in Ireland, he went with the question ringing AnD week in his ears: “Where did you get it?” He died with that question unanswered. ‘ ; a Croker had the qualifications of a master boss. : His will was iron.
