THE WATERWAYS
CONGRESS

A Waterways Congress IS to be
held at Washington, d. G., its session
commencing on Jan. IS, inst.
The object of this congress Is to
continue what the congress began a
number Of years ago, a campaign of
education and agitation in behalf of
recognizing the enormous value OF
the great free commercial waterways
OF the Mississippi Valley. and to Sc
cure at the hands OF the Nationqi
Government sach development ard
Improvement of their navigable ca
pacity, as is demanded by the con-
stantly growing population and the
vast industrial interests of the great
valley.
1t IS not commonly understood,
trite and thoroughly established as IS
the fact, that the Mississippi River
with its various tributaries, takes
water from twenty-six States of the
Union. and furnishes 10000 miles OF
navigable waterways. 1t is true that
this vast mileage is not in every part
at all times as available for boating
as is desirable, but there is not in
a mile of it that is not during cer-
tain seasons of every year open 70
navigation.
1t is to make the channels of com
nlerce what they should be, and what
the business of the country requires
that the secongresses' are held
If this extraordinary natural sys-
tenn of commercial waterways ex-
isted in any other great nation #
would be improved and utilized to
the utmost. AS United States Sena-
tor Gibson, of Louisiana, once said
of the duty of the General Govern
ment to assist in controlling the
floods Of the Mississippi River: II
this great artery of commerce, equiv
alent as it is to an island sea. were
in Russna. or in any other of the
great countries of Europe. it would
be lined with walls OF granite from
Cairo tot he Gulf
The American people have not yet
come to appreciate the vast and in
computable value of their waterways
and therefore thorough system Of
education and agitation is necessary

THE SOFT

"A soft answer turnetl away

Whether or not the Governors re-
ply to Senator McLaurin's letter will
have the soothing influence on his
wounded feelings, as the Bible states,
remains to be seen. But it must be
admitted that the wrath of the Sena-
tor does not bear the stamp that IS
generally turned away by "a soft an

SOLUTION TO A
LABOR PROBLEM

The below letter. written by one
prominent planter to another, We
accidentally got a hold Of this week
leaving out their names, IS one Of
the solutions to the labor problems
IN the Delta.
The ruinous policy OF advancing
hands more than they can pay for
and when they leave to expect the
planter upon whose place they re-
move TO settle their account for
them, IS wrong, and # continued will
sooner or later drive or best labor
away or bring the planter. as the
writer says. in conflict with the Fed
eraI law OF peonage. which IS liable
70 lead to serious trouble.
Il every planter would refuse as
the writer has suggested, to pay these
debts, the negro would not be al
lowed to make them, and there would
be less moving among them each
year. and the planters would dwell
tremendously together.

Engineer Mcintyre:
NMr. Pratt has made many state
ments, both before the city coun-
Gil and in the public press, which
we claim to be absolutely false
and fabrication of his own. The
most prominent Of these are, That
the engineers Office did not lay

Dr. John M. Semple today filed
with the city clerk the result of
his inquiries looking towards the
securing Of a competent sanitary
engineer to pass upon the feasibil-
ity of either a filtration supply or
underground supply Of water for
Spokane. At a meeting of the
Spokane County Medical society,
which met some weeks ago at the
city hall and discussed the prob
lem with the engineering depart
ment. it was recommended that an
estimate Of the cost of such inspec-
ton be supplied to the council.

OIL
BATTLE ON

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15.-The gov
eminent today began its battle
against Standard Oil, for which it
has long been marshaling forces.
Federal attorney filed papers in
the United States circuit court of
this city by direction Of Attorney
General Moody to have the gigan-
tic trust dissolved.
In support of it's plea the gov
eminent presents an array of vio-
lations Of the Sherman antitrust
law including conspiracy, coercion,
intimidation, rebating and other
vicious acts and practices. 1t is
the intention of President Roose-
welt to make these proceedings
the GROWING achievements of his
administrations trust busting"
accomplishments.
John d. Rockefeller, William
Rockefeller, Henry NJ. Flagler,
John D. Archibold, Oliver H.
Payne and Charles M. Pratt are
made parties defendant to the
suit. 1t is expected that criminal
prosecutions will follow today's
action.
The bill filed today reviews the
history OF the Standard Oil Co.
from 1870 to the present. From
that time, according to the bill,
when a Simple conspiracy" forma-
ton as holding company was or
gained under the laws of New
Jersey, the oil trust has advanced
to capital Of over $4,000, 900,
controlling more than 80 per cent
of the oil business and all its
branches, including the export oil
trade of the United States. The
government alleges violations of
law since August, last year, and
declares contracts were procured
through threats. Independents
were eliminated by a force OF
giant strength. The bill specifies
that the design Of Rockefeller
Rogers and others named, since
1870 has been to suppress competI
ton and obtain monopoly of oil
production, transportation and the
control of all branches Of refining
by-products, etc. 1t is claimed
that the individual defendants, dur
ing seven years following 1892
when the supreme court of Ohio
declared their operations illegal
pretended to liquidate the trust
but as a matter of fact continued
to manage all its corporations and
