Washington, d. c., Dec. 15.-"Uncle
Joe'' Cannon. the tall and austere
Vive President Fairbanks, and Rep
resentative Burton, chairman of the
House Committee on Rivers and Har-
bors, have been frequent visitors at
the White House in the last few days.
President Roosevelt has lent the strong
aid of his powerful personality to the
cause of waterways Improvement, as
he promised he would on the occas-
ion of his reception last week to the
delegates to the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress convention. As
result the bill to be passed at the pres
ent session undoubtedly will be the
largest ever put through, and will
be commensurate with the impor-
lance of the work planned. It is hop
ed that some means will be found to
insure a steady appropriation by the
government in the future for
Waterways development. Natur-
ally, no congress can pledge
the action of its successor,
but the necessity existing for sufficient
funds to clean up the great amount
of work mapped out by government
engineers is so great that some way
may be discovered to insure progress.
AS the situation stands, politics vir-
tually has commerce by the throat.

Senator Piles took exception to the

would offer an amendment to it later.
In voicing his objection, he said that
under the terms of the measure he
would not be permitted to employ his

were under fourteen years of age.

President Roosevelt's announcement
that the government clerks should be
given an increase in salaries of some
where near 20 per cent. There are
several thousand clerks in the different
departments, and the increased cost
of conducting the government will be
heavy. However, the clerks of Uncle
Sam are VIGOROUSLY underpaid, and
if the same efforts were expended for
private employers the pay would be far
greater than the government has given
in the past. One peculiar phase of
life is the great number
of husbands and wives working side
by side in the service of the govern
ment. The departments are great
hunting grounds for Cupid, and the
chubby god is always active. The fact
that women clerks are paid practical
