While the wall. perhaps. was not. noticeable so long as it stood, the sidewalk alongside has been an eye-sore for a good many years and the citizens of the western part of the town. and strangers coming to town by. way of the C.N.R. have long been aware of its condition. and we lwlimw: there is a secret jubilation in a good many places thatkit went out with the. flood last \VN' '. We believe in economy, but. in allowing matters of this kind to go unattended, we can see nothing but absolute VV aste. It’ for no other reason than the appearance of Lamhton street. the work on the ere-Mien ot'a new retaining wall should be gone ahead with. and mu suggestion this time would be to put up a wall that. will stand, and not need replacing in another tVVentV V'ea1s 01 so.

Lawrence River Canal in order that ocean shipping may be able to proceed to the head of the lakes. So far. most. of the discussion has been of the “Little Canadian" variety on this side, and "Little liniteil States" on the other sule of the border. Municipalities east of the St. Lawrence where the canals are to be built are not fa- vorable; those west apear to be in favor. The former fear a loss or trade for their own particular port. while the latter seem to think the change will bring more trade to their town 01' city-1.

Evidently neither side has yet considered the question from the the "How will it atl’ect the country as a whole?" angle. This is the only thing that counts. If a St. Lawrence canal that will open the lanes of trafi‘ic to the sea will bene- fit the country as a whole, then it should be a good thing, and is the 0an angle oi the question that should be considered except the cost. The fact that Montreal loses trade and Toronto gains it is too small to VVaste time on.

He died in Moscow, Russia, where he has been living for the past few years. a fugitive from justice from United States. “Big Bill” was a real power in United States some twenty-odd year ago. his specialty being organ- izing strikes, soap-box oratory, and ‘---' ~wâ€"â€"â€". _ _ \Ve do not know that it will do this. but to our mind the building of the St..Lawrence canal is a national economic problem rather than a discussion of the advantages or disadvantages that may or may not. affect some particular city. DURHAM CHRONICLE T HAT Thursday, May 24, 1928 HI'ILU THE WALL “BIG BILL” IS DEAD ST. LAWRENCE CANAL "Big Bill" was always against the Government. At the time of Mcâ€" Kinley’s death, this anarchistic gang made the cool announcement that “We did not kill the President because he was McKinley; we killed McKinley because he was Presi- dent." They were down on every- thing but themselves, incited the workers against their employers, and were strong on the rights of “the common people”. It. was piti- ful how their hearts did ache for these “common people”. But the ache must have had its pleasant moments, too, for they got rich at Some few years ago a band of these “Russian Reds” were rounded up in the United States and a boat- load of them sent back to Ru‘Ssiva on the 014‘] United States Army Trans- port, "Buford”. It was shortly after this that. “Big Bill” ran foul of the law and escaped to Russia, where he has lived ever since. it. HaV'VV oml VVas a man 01‘ many talents.

Haywood was a Socialist of the virulent type. but when his chance came to es- tablish his Utopia in Russia it was “Shirts that laugh at the laundry” are advertised by a certain firm.
