any State. 1t goes without saying that
between two such contestants all the arts,

The Providence (Rhode Island) Journal
has this 10 say in commenting on the re-
pori that the President intends TO veto
the river and harbor bill if its aggrc-
gate appropriations exceed fifteen mil
lions Of dollars
1.-THE nation, in its present peculiar
financial condition. could well afford to
spend on the improvement Of it's rivers
aud harbors considerably more than the
fifteen million dollars which the Presl-
dent fixes as the limit.
No doubt of IT, There could be no
better investment of twice fifteen mil
lions Of the peoples money the Gov
ernu!ont is now boarding than in i'm
proving their rivers and harbors. River
and harbor improvement not only re-
bounds to the benefit OF those living
along orr water-waysand on the sea-coast,
hut to the benefit Of the entire country.
And as We pointed out the other day, the
policy OF making two bites at a cherry
IN the matter of appropriGting money
for the improvement of river or harbor
is very short-sighted. Large sums
would be saved in the end if the appro-
priaGons were made sufficient to insure
continuous work until the improvements
were completed. 1t frequently happens
