There is only one way IN which the Mississippi

so as relief frem present obstruc
tions. A plan of continuous work must be adopted

the Merchants Exchange will go to Washington and

Committee of Congress- 1t will ask that Sl0O0O00 be
spent annually to improve the channel Within five
years. it estimated. appropriations be reduced
to a nominal sum without detriment to the channel.
As long as Congress continues to spend money
spasmodically the appeals for help by the river and
transportation interests will not cease. The business
of the Middle West demands that conditions be bet

St Louis is the great central port Of the country.
The river between here and Cairo is the draw

HARMONY-FOR THE PUBLIC.

There is such wide difference between the pr-
vate and public expressions of Republican politicians
In Missouri that the usually manages to nell
traze the other. Before selections are made for ap
pointive offices the views of the facona leaders are
interesting. variegated, very much to the point aud
to speak, right Off the bat Afterwards in accord
with established CUSTOM carefully worded inter
views usually aud harmony to the Skies
This practice has been followed faithfully in tho
recent factional fight Federal appointments. M
tional Committeeman Kerens has told the confdinc
how his failure to land jobs has worked for peace in
side the party. Both Chairman Akins and Mr.
Kerens have expressed their disapprovaI of poticaI
hucksters' going to Washington for the purpose Of
securing patronage. They both in favor of fight
ing the enemy" here in Missouri
And they are carrying out the theory of how to
fight. The enemy however, is the other Republican
fellow. The other evening the Kerens and anti
Kerens forces continued the same old tactics in tho
Twelfth district. The members of the Renub,;c,n n
Committee were made to declare themselves for or
againsr the National Committeeman. Sweet harmony
was not there.
Friday night there will be q now Of sneecb and
other things at banquet to be given by the Youno
Mems Republican Club in Kansas City. FactIona,
leaders have hastened to abandon boycott scb.roos
and declare social session. By prearraneement
there will be great show of harmony. Outwar1,v
