The NAUGHTY BENTON.

Benton was a most remarkable
man. In some respects the most re-
n.arkahle that l have ever known,
but he could not begin career at
this time. The people would not toler-
ate him. He would impress even a
stranger by his appearance. He walk
ed as II he owned the earth. With
head raised at an angle of 45 degrees
and hands behind his back, he would
stalk with measured tread down the
street, looking neither right nor left,
recognizing no one. If he had an ap-
pointment to speak at 2 o'clock,
promptly at 2 O'Clock he would arrive.
He would come in his carrioge unat
tended He would permit no one to
introduce him. But passing through
the crowd he would make his way
to the rostrum and begin. Citizens
Never did he say Fellow Citizens
Those before him were no fellows OF
his. and when he had concluded he
would make his way back to the hotel.

lima, an ardent champion of the hen.
etts OF water transportation. has
pointed out that it would be entirely
practicable for a feet of barges tn
go from Chicago to the Gulf. thence
by way of internal waterways along
the coast of the gulf and the Atlantic
to the city of New York, thence IN
the Hudson, through tie enlarged
Erie canal to the great iakes, and
back to Chicago.
Who can estimate the economic
benefits commented Mr.. Small. "and
tie industrial and commercial d
Velopment which would accrue from
the construction of these waterways,
and in which benefits the whole
country would share"
Heretofore little progress has been
made toward securing the appro-
priations of government money neces.
sary to pay for the vast amount OF
digging, dredging and damming that
must be done before these plans can
be made realities. Recently. how.
ever, new tactics have been adopted.
Cooperation has become the watch.

Waterway From Cape
Cod to the Rio Grande

Washington, Oct. 14.-Picture a
great ditch. some 1900 miles Il
length, extending along the coast
of the Atlantic and the Gulf from
Massachusetts bay to the Rio Grande,
crossing Florida at the neck of the
peninsula. Let it be broad and deep
enough to float large fleets of com
merce or of war Let its outer, or
seaward. wall be a breastwork of
dunes or islands varying in width
from few hundred yards to score
of miles.
Picture further patrols of swift
torpedo boats. heavily armed float
ing batteries, and deep laden trans
ports carrying troops, ammunition
and provisions, moving to and fro
in this waterway, safe from the
shots of an enemys seagoing ships
and ready to concentrate without op,

tile fleets may direct their attack,

an overwhelming force of guns and
men.

They entered the dining room and
the earl walked straight to the bottom

He had scarcely resumed his seat

had compelled her to undergo.

at her in breathless silence. The

For moment a faint color rose to

young creature with the lovely face
and wealth OF red-gold hair, who
stood waiting like a princess for hom-

4 eLIMpsE oowN ne PROPOSED WATERMAN.

word Bodies like the interstate
inland waterway league of Texas and
Louisiana, other waterways associa-
tons, boards of trade, commercial
clubs, etc, are going into the move
ment headed by the national rivers
and harbors congress, which has
made the establishment of d liberal
policy toward waterways improve
ment the reason for its existence.
This congress hopes to secure the
| passage of an annual river and har-
Dor bill carrying at least s50,000,000.
Congressman Ransdell, chairman of
| the executive committee of this or
| ganization, himself a member of the
committee on rivers and harbors or
the house of representatives, Chair
man Burton, and other members of
| that committee, all of whom have
given hearty endorsement to this
movement, have repeatedly pointed
out that the advantages of river and
harbor improvement are to the COM
merce and industry of the country
as a whole, and that all sections,
those remote from waterways as well
| as those situated directly upon them,
are vitality interested in putting these
means of transportation in the best
possible condition.
Some idea of the expectations OF
commercial advantages attached to
the completion of these coastal ca
hA OF OF
ment put forward by advocates of
the canal projected along the Texas
and Louisiana shore that this alone
would bring about an annual saw
ing of freight charges amounting to
SO, 1925 600 and that would cause an
increase of population in these states
from 100000 to 30,000,000. For
the canal from Norfolk to Beaufort
Inlet the claim is made by the COM
mercial bodies interested that it
would mean annual saving to the
commerce between Baltimore and
Jacksonville of s5.00O,OO0 and that
the commerce affected amounts to
4 500, 600 tons of the value of $685.,
000. 900. For the Cape Cod canal
it is estimated that it would pay 10
per cent on an investment of 100000
900 to the private interests projecting
it's construction, and that more than
10 100000 tons of freight a year
would be transported by this route.
OF the proposed waterways as a
means of national defense there has
been no more earnest advocate than
Senator Morgan of Alabama. Such

the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico"
