around in the streets exposed to every
kind of weather"
Mr.. Smith has just been to Mem
phis again. He went up and down the
streets for look. He could not be-
lieve his eyes for time. Then he ex-
pressed his surprise: Why, this Is
same cotton lying here in the streets
that saw here weeks ago." That
made him indignant, and now he is
an ardent river Improvement man.
Years ago the boats on the river did
all the carrying. Then the railroads
came, made. rates, and retired the
freight boats from the river. Now
traffic has grown, rates are increased
to a figure at which the boats could
make a profit When the boats reap
pear the railroads will be glad to have
them take . lot of this bulky cotton,
and corn and flour and sugar and lum-
Der off the streets and out of the ware
houses.
But meantime the forests of the
North have been reduced and the river
has less depth of water than formerly.
The river must be improved for physi-
cal reasons, not for the sake of fur
nishing government jobs.
Like the Rhine, the river must be
deepened even at the expense of width,
and must be the scene of much traffic.
On the Rhine one tug goes up stream
towing three loaded barges, and re-
turns down stream equally thrifty.
In rapid places chain, lying in the
bed of the channel, is raised, run over
a drum in the tug, and the rapids as
manner.
There Is nothing pretty about these
tugs or barges, but they carry Won
derful lot of freight in year. Just
such system Is now used on the
Hudson, where any day may be seen q
tug towing a number of loaded barges
up or down.
Whether the old form of river boat
with high stacks, open front, and up
per works devoted to passengers win
return to the river. or the tug and the
dull colored, low sided barge is not
the question. The barge Is more USE
full, because it can go into small feed
ing waters as well as going from st.
Paul to New Orleans.
The tug and the barge are like a
train of freight cars behind locomo-
tive; they can go along in very mar
row channel where a freight steamer
would be stranded by it's width.
One barge may be dropped here,
another further on, etc. But the con-
test between barge and steamer will
take care OF itself. The point is that
our public men are discovering that a
lot of traffic lies ready for return of
shipping to the Mississippi and it's
branches. The discovery will lead to
aetion-the action to boats, and the
boats to more money for the South.

Affairs in the inner circle have
been given such a whirl that it is pref
ty hard to know straight up.
1t would appear that the unwritten
law is the one that prohibits fool hus-

golf game to come into court.
Attorney General Hadley is prepar-

Is also an unwritten law.

His proposition was listened to with respect and consider ation in the conservative upper house of parliament in Ottawa He is not at all in favor of old-age pensions. His idea is that payment of half a days wages week will give the average man an annuity of $200 year from the age of 65 until death He said that to make any such scheme a success. three things were necessary: It must be absolutely safe, necessitating gov ernment backing; there must be abso- lute freedom from forfeiture: there must be no possibility of anticipating the benefits.

NEW THINGS

When the telephone was first introduced in Prescott. there were only a few subscribers, be- cause the people did not have sufficient confidence in the ne- ceSSity and value of the innOva- tiOn. For a long time people did not take lights and water, for they did not consider it "practi- cal. :" It takes the people little time to become accustomed to new ways and methods, no matter however practical and convenient they may be. Now in the begin
 ming, many people did not sub- scribe for The Daily News, be- cause they did not think it would last long enough to waste any time with. It was not one week old before those people-some of
 them-were grabbing for the other fellows paper and meeting the delivery boy first. It was not worth while to subscribe, but it was very convenientto read it every day. We do not com plain however, that people read
