Enthusiasm for Waterway Projects.

The Trans.Mississippi Commercial

Okla, had several important topics
to discuss, but none transcribed In
interest the question of river improve
ment and canal construction. The
presidential address heartily Endorsed
the magnificent project of construct.
ing a deep waterway from the great
lakes to the gulf and declared that
the people OF the Pacific coast would
earnestly support the middle west and
the south in all proper efforts to real.
lie that project. In the Atlantic
states, too, there is much sympathy
with the lakes to gulf" movement
and 1t is certain THAI congress will
be urged from every direction to take
up in a practical and b~usinesslike
ann the question which means so
much to agriculture, to %transporta-
ton. to m
But the people OF the Atlantic
states have a great waterway project
of their own, into which new vitality
has been infused by a convention
which has Just been held at Philadel.
phia and which was attended by dele.
gates from II commonwealth. They
expect, In turn, sympathy and sup.
port from the west. Their project In.
wolves an Atlantic coast inland water
way from Boston to Beaufort, N. C. Such
an u%nbroken passage for modern YES

the trade of the states affected, but
constitute a potent aid In national de-
Tense.
The subject Of water communication
has taken firm held Of the popular
mind. From every point of view. In.
GLIDING that of fair railway regulation,
such improvement is eminently desir.

Do Not Depend on the Tariff,

It is time to have 1t understood that
the creation Of n.onopolistic combina-
tions does not altogether depend on
the presence or absence of a tariff,
but upon the existence Of opportuni.
ties to engross supplies or control the
machinery of transportation or ex.
change. For instance, there is a pro-
tective tariff on wool; but the bust.
ness of wool growing cannot be mo
nopolized, ever though 1t is languish-
Ing. For a clear understanding Of
the question It should be plainly rec
ognized that wherever, through
neglect OF MISUNDERSTANDING of the
law, there is an opportunity to COM
bine or control either the sources Of
supply or the means OF production,
or the channels of transportation or
exchange, there the combinations to
monopollze the given staple will
spring up. This Is inevitable If the
law does not correct or punish the
offense.
There may be men too honorable
to share in such schemes, but the dy.
manic force Of the tendency is seen In
the fact that the people who are will.
ing to share in 1t can buy out or ex.
tinguish those who will not.--Clinton

Mr.. jerome Evidently Was Aware Of
His Wife's Culinary Ability.

Some weeks ago the wife Of Judge
Blank, Of Pacific avenue, lost her cook,
and since she had no other resource
she rolled up her sleeves ard for a
week provided such meals as the Judge
had not enjoyed since those happy
days when the Blanks did not keep a
cook. The judges delight was so great
that by way Of a%ppreciative acknowl-
edgment he presented Mrs. Blank
with a beautiful ermlne cloak. Quite
naturally, the incident was a good
deal noised about among the social
acquaintances of the Blanks and a
spirit of envious emulation was de-
veloped In certain quarters. It was in
this mood that Mrs. Jerome recited
the story to her husband. what do I

the cooking for a week." WELL"

10 TYPICAL BRYAN SCHEME.
Defect In Plan for Guarantee Of Ma
tional Bank Deposits.

Mr.. BryaD's prescription OF a gov
e-cment guarantee OF national bank
deposits is interesting chiefly for what
1t leaves to the Imagination. II Is
one Of those characteristic financial
Organisms that sound we'll but leave
q question In the mind. The individ-
ual deposits In the national banks OF
the United States In August, 1907,
reached the total Of $4,319. 035, 402.62.
1t may be well enough for the gov.
eminent to declare to the owners Of
this money that II will make good
every penny Of 1t in case Of tho fail
ure Of the banks. II somehow 1t a
make sure Of protecting itself. The
government now guarantees bank
notes issued by these institutions. But
in the case of circulation It cur
itself amply by taking in its W
bonds, owned by the banks, as collat.
eral. What guarantee can the gov
eminent demand and obtain from the
banks to secure itself from loss In
case 1t is called upon to make good
the losses or depositors? lnasmuch
as the deposits are the heaviest Of the
banks liabilities there Is little chance
to find any medium of security sufi-
cient 10 the governments re-
sponsibility.
The government In a certain meas
ure now guarantees the security of
depositors by maintaining a system
OF bank examination under which it
has the authority at any time to close
the doors OF an institution TO prevent
losses or to curtail them when once
the institution has begun to go wrong.
II has often been urged that the Unit
ed States grant itself, through con-
g%ressional enactment, a larger degree
Of power In the premises, s%tiffeniIg
Its examinations. expanding its force
for this purpose and thereby %increas-
ing the degree of insurance against
failure and fraud. Some such reform
would be more likely to impress the
business world as practicable than the
Bryan plan to guarantee deposits.
Mr.. Bryan's scheme, indeed, is
strongly suggestive OF the case OF the
accommodating chap who offered to
hold the stakes Of a wager. Yes"

be all right. but who will hold your"

II certainly is curious that at a time
when there is more or less discussion
