WORD TO soUTHERy LEADERS.


President Roosevelt is credited in Thursdays
dispatches from Oyster Bay with giving some
wholesome and seasonable advice to party
leaders in the Southern States. For the last
twenty years the Republican party in most of
these States has been at best slowly crumbling
organism. Its impotency in State and national
elections has come to be accepted as almost a
part of the order Of nature; at national conVen-
tions alone il galvanizes itself into some sem
blance Of genuine life. What vitality it ex-
hibi1s between conventions is consumed, IN the
main, in the pursuit of federal patronage. Its
dependence on the Republican organization of
the other sections of the Union is therefore as
seIf-confessed as it is absolute. Yet the obll-
cations which this dependence entails are often
foo little observed by Southern leaders. In
many States the spirit Of factionalsm is chronic,
and selfish personal rivalries intervene to cloud
the occasional opportunities which come along
to do the party at large some needed and timely
service
The President was entirely right in emphasiz-
Ing the duty which Southern Republican man.
ayers owe the party Of struggling to maintain
as large a representation possible in the
lower house Of Congress. Control Of that branch
NAV easily turn on the loss or capture OF
dozen districts. Every seat gained or saved in
the South makes SO much easier the Republican
party's task Of holding its strength in other sec
sions. But too often the hope of timely gain
or two in the South is blighted by the foolish
excuses Of factional rivalry. In Texas, for in
stance, there is an opportunity. under the ap-
portionment act Of 1901, to make a promising
fight In one or two Of the new Congress dis
tricts But Republican prospects are darkened
hv a struggle between two factions for the pos
session Of the party machinery; and President
Roosevelt frankly told the Texas leader who
visited him on Thursday that such Indifference
to larger national interests could only be viewed
with irritation and impatience
In Arkansas too the Republican minority has
split into two discordant factions. each Of which
has nominated q candidate for Governor: and
the only aim Of the rival leaders is. apparently.
to determine which one of them is to be beaten
worse by their Democratic opponent Virginia
is another State in which factionalism has re-
duced the Republican party TO a shadow of its
former strength. In other years three or four
Congress districts in the Old Dominion could be
counted on as hopeful fighting ground; and even
under present conditions there seems to be still
chance Of building up effective Republican
organization in the western and southwestern
aertion Of the State But united and vigorous

SAVE
The Canals For
Improvement.
Federal Government
Will Take a Hand
To Make Them Wider and
Deeper.

Columbus, o., March 12.-Tuesday
was canal day in the Legislature. The
entire day was given over to discussion
and debate on the question of the re-
tention or abandonment of the canals.
The debate was held before a joint ses-
sion Of the General Assembly. Lieuten-
ant Governor Nippert presiding. The
lobbies of the House were filed to over
flowing with canal employees.
Hon. c. +. Griffin, of Toledo, was
the first speaker. He declared that,
taken as u whole, the canal system OF
the state has made the state net profit
of about five millions. He spoke of the
growth of the country as commercial
nation and of the millions which are
being spent by the nation in improving
the waterways of the country. He de-
clared the money spent in such im-
provements to be well spent.
Mr.. Griffin predicted that If the Ohio
Legislature will but improve its canals
it will only be question of a few
years until the Federal Government
will take hold of these waterways
deepen them, and make them great
barge canals for the through shipment
from the lakes to the gulf. He de-
clared that as soon as the state takes
definite steps to improve the canals
of the state their banks will be crowd
ed with factories.
Ex-senator George w. Sieber, of Ak
H., of nf thn lc
and charged that back of the aban-
donment of the canal were schemes
to use the canals for railroad purposes
and the reservoirs to be drained SO
that spectators may profit thereby.
He declared that if the Miami and
Erie canal is abandoned the Fordyce
company will ask damages to the
amount of n million.
Speaking of the attempts to abandon
the Columbus feeder as sought by the
McNamee bill, as introduced Monday
the Senator asked what great trans
portatfon interests were Interested In
having the Ohio canal abandoned from
Lockburne to Portsmouth. He init
| mated that some railroad company was
back of the bill, and said that If the
state dam is destroyed and the Colum
bus feeder abandoned, the water sup
ply of the Ohio canal will be cut Off
Asked about which was the mos,
| practicable route for n government
barge canal Senator Sieber said he
understood the best route to be the
Sandusky route via Columbus to Ports
mouth.
Many others spoke the impression
being that friends of the canal showed
the most strength.

A MEMORIAL.

On Saturday, the Sth day of March,
A. ID. 1902, occurred the death of John
r. Wright, President OF the First
National Bank OF Akron, Ohio after
brief illness; and for the purpose of
placing on record proper memorial
for the deccdent, the following resol-
ution was unanimously adopted by
the Board of Directors of said bank.
Resolved, That in the death of John
Il. Wright, the late President of this
Bank, we have lost trusted eff
cient and faithful officer and II kind
and cndeared friend.
That since his election to the prcsi-
dency, the Bank has continued in its
former prosperous condition, chiefly
through the efficiency of the deceased,
and during our almost daily associa-
ton with him, he has become so en-
deared to MS, through his uniform
kindness and courtesy that his death
is personal loss.
That his personal life was that Of
Il true noble, Christian gentleman,
and he was beloved not alone by
those, who were closely associated
with him IL business, but also by the
community at large, as his demeanor
toward the poor and the lowly in the
common walks of life, was the same
as toward the rich and more fortunate.
That his whole life was an open
book; being publc-spirited, generous,
kind hearted, and all that goes toward
the making OF perfect man, such n
life as others could well emulate.
That while his death occurred in the
prime of life. nevertheless II was Sc
lived that many who have reached
the allotted time of three score years
and ten, VIII look with wonder upon
his accomplishments, both in public
ana private life.
That in his untimely death, his wife
and children have lost tender ant
loving husband and father. and tn,
city and community an ideal man
We wish by this resolution TO publicly
testify TO the high regard that We ha,
for Mr., Wright, and ask that thi
resolution he placed upon the record
of the bank, and that we tender to hi
beroayed family a copy of the same
together with our heartfelt sympathy
