TO DEEPEN RIVER
One of the Subjects Before Trans.
Mississippi Commercial Congress.
irrigation of Arid Lands Another
Subject That is Attracting
Much Attention.

st. Louis, Oct. 26.-The second days
session OF the fifteenth annual meet
ing of the Transmississippi CONNER
cial congress convened Wednesday
morning in the Hall of Congresses at
the Worlds fair, and began a discus
sion of measures needed to benefit
many sections of the United States.
Two of the principal matters dis
cussed were irrigation of arid lands
and the deepening of the Mississippi
river from st. Paul to st. Louis. Bar
ton F. Linehan, of Dubuque, Ia, has
prepared a resolution, which will be
presented to the congress, favoring an
appropriation of $4,000, 900 by the fed
eral government for the latter purpose.
Irrigation is attracting great atten-
ton among business men of the coun
try. The statement was made that
from 300 acres of arid land reclaimed,
enough produce could be obtained to
Justify the expenditure of $1,00O,O 600
in irrigating it.
Wednesdays session of the congress
| adjourned early to give the visitors an
opportunity to attend the WORLDS Ialr.
The visitors will be guests at a re-
| ception to be given by the Mississippi
| river commission at the Missouri
building Thursday evening.
The speech of Alexander H. Revell,
| of Chicago, president of the National
Business Mems league, before the con-
gress aroused the enthusiasm OF the
great gathering of representative BUSH
ness men from all parts Of the country,
by his advocacy of the change of the
president of the United States term
of office from four to six years.
Mr.. Revell asked that the congress
use it's efforts to inaugurate a move
ment to secure an amendment to the
constitution, which will fix the term
of the president of the United States
at six years. The same amendment
should also make the president ineli-
gible to reelection.

Mississippi State News


The weather and crop report is
sued last week for the Mississippi
section reads as follows:
The mean temperature for the week
was from 1 degree to 4 degrees above
normal. Fair weather with much sun
shine prevailed, although there were
widely scattered showers over the
northern and central portions of the
State, the heaviest rainfall reported
being three-fourths of an inch at
Batesville.
Conditions were almost ideal for
picking cotton which generally made
good progress, although in many Sec
tions pickers were in great demand.
Cotton is practically all open on hill
lands, and in the southern and east
ern counties picking is nearing COM
pletion, the bulk of the crop having
been secured in excellent condition
and with better yields than was ex-
pected two or three weeks ago. In
the delta and on low lands elsewhere
bolls are opening very fast and gath
ering is being rushed, but as picking
has been unable to keep pace with
opening a heavy rain and wind storm
within the near future would prove
very damaging to the large amount OF
unpicked open cotton. Gins are rum
ming at full capacity in nearly all sec
tions.
Corn gathering continues with gen
orally very satisfactory yields. Peas
and potatoes are also yielding we'll
Fall crops are very poor. The pro
longed drouth over the greater por
ton of the State is becoming quite Sc
rious and in many localities it is diff
cult to secure water for family use, as
wells and springs are failing.

MUCH IN NEED OF NEW DEAL
Frauds and Scandals Enough to Con-
denim the Republican Adj
ministratioa.

No such general apathy in the ranks
of the G.. o. P. has been since it com
menced business, the OLD Hanna ma
chine is sulking and nothing but
doodle" and lots of it will bring back
the old enthusiasm. The workers"
have been so accustomed to being well
paid that they will not turn a hand until
the cash is forthcoming. Now the trusts
are responding literally, there will soon
be more ginger injected into the CAM
paign, but even cash will not produce
the harmony that Hanna inspired. Some
workers loved Hanna, some feared him,
but Cortelyou they don't know and do
not care for.
The republican elephant is numbering
along, but lack of harmony among his
new keepers is worrying the "critter"
woefully. Meanwhile, tie democrats
are united and confident
The postal frauds and tie punishment
of those who have been indicted appear
to be lost sight of in other campaign
issues The Roosevelt administration
| evidently has postponed the trial of the
cases so that the public will forget the
scandal. The refusal of tie republicans
In congress to allow an investigation
showed they feared the exposure of
more frauds if the democratic demand
for a congressional investigation was
acceded to. That very fact should lead
TO the election of a democratic majority
to the next congress, so that congress
may do it's duty as the grand inquest
of the nation.
Bey ond the postal frauds there are
other scandals that need investigation.
The interior department has land frauds
that much surpass the postal frauds, as
far as the amount involved is at stake,
yet bit little attempt has been made to
punish the land robbers and the depart
ment refuses to make public what it has
discovered.
A political party is seldom bold
enough or honest enough to fully inves-
tigate the wrongdoing of it's own par
tisans and the safety of republican in
stitutions is best conserved by a change
of administration to look into the way
of doing things of its predecessor. The
honest republican voter must wish to
cleanse all the departments of the gov
eminent of grafters, to reduce taxation,
to stop extravaganza and curb the trusts.
He may even believe the trusts should
be continued to sell cheaper abroad than
here, rather than disturb the sacred
tariff, but he must wish to stop the gen.
eral trend toward universal grating
How can he expect reform unless he
elects reformers? The republicans from
President down declare they will con-
tinue in the same rut they have been
running in and are appealing to the
voters to confirm them in power and take
their word for it that everything Is
honest and prosperous. Even if an hon
est republican is elected to congress the
machine at Washington will overswt
and browbeat him and arrange to de-
feat his denomination if he shows {
spark of independence. To effect reform
there must be a new deal.
