Enthusiasm for Waterway Projects

The Mississippi Commercial
congress in session at Tuskogee,
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 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
ize that project. In the Atlantic
states, too, there is much sympathy
with the lakes to gulf movement
and it is certain that congress will
be urged from every direction to take
up in a practical and businesslike
manner the question which means so
much to agriculture, to transporta-
tion to commerce.
But the people of the Atlantic
states have great waterway project
has been infused by a convention
which has just been held at Philadel-
phia and which was attended by dele
gates from II commemorative. 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 unbroken passage for modern YES
sells in coastwise travel would, it is
argued, not only increase enormously
the trade Of the states affected, but
constitute potent aid in national de-
tense.
The subject of water communication
has taken firm hold of the popular
mind. From every point of view, in
GLIDING that of fair railway regulation,
such Improvement is eminently desr-
able wherever it is feasible and COM
mercially needful. No quarrel over
precedence should arise, however.
The lakes to gulf project stands
at the head of the list.

IS TYPICAL BRYAN SCHEME.
Ccfect In Plan for Guarantee OF Ma
tional Bank p ,--5iss.

Mr.. Bryan's prescription Of gov
eminent guarantee Of national bank
deposits is interesting chiefly for what
it leaves to the imagination. 1t is
one OF those characteristic financial
Organisms that sound well but leave
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 GO.
1t may be well enough for the gov
eminent to declare to the owners of
this money that it will make good
every penny of it in case of the fail
ure of the banks, if somehow it can
make sure of protecting itself. The
government now guarantees bank
notes issued by these institutions. But
in the case of circulation it secures
itself amply by taking in it's own
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 it is called upon to make good
the losses or depositors? 1nasmuch
as the deposits are the heaviest Of the
banks liabilities there is little chance
to find any medium Of security sufii-
cient TO cover the governments re-
sponsibility..
The government in a certain meas
ure now guarantees the security of
depositors by maintaining 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.
1t has often been urged that the Unit
ed States grant itself, through con-
gressional enactment, larger degree
of power in the premises, stiffening
it's examinations, expanding it's 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 wager Yes, "
replied one of the bettors, that will
be all right, but who will hold your

Stocking

Y HERE is honor among the deni-
~ zens of Paxton alley, but Mr..
Smiths toy-shop stood at the
very entrance, and they reckoned him
out of bounds.
From time to time evil-looking men
muttered to one another about the
long stocking that Mr.. Smith was
supposed to have filled; but he had
figured in the prize ring in his young
er days, and he was said to sleep
with BSt knob stick beside him.
So the niatter ended at mutterings.
A big, powerful man was Mr.. Smith;
and he had a powerful edge to his
tongue. Every one in the alley feared
him except Jimmy.
Mr.. Smith knew him as the extra
ordinary paper-boy who brought back
a dime given him in mistake for a
penny, an event which was his
torical in the alley Al, tfe time it
gave rise to doubts asNto Jimmy's
sanity, but afterward it was held that
he was playing up to the old
man."
Anyhow, Mr.. Smith took two pa
pers regularly afterward and the day
after his funeral-which was the day
before Christmas eve-a sleek man
in a shiny top hat invaded Paxton al
ley, escorted by a policeman, and
took evidence as to the identity of
''the boy called Jimmy who sold pa
pers" to the public generally, and in
particular to the late Mr.. Smith.
When the sleek man was satisfied
upon this point he proclaimed Jimmy
the sole legatee of the estate, which
comprised the little shop and house
and all their contents.
You'll find long stocking some

land you'd better bring it to me to

good fortune. but somehow the world

Keepina Lettuce Fresh.

When lettuce is placed on the table
there is often considerable left. In
order to keep it fresh for another meal,
place it in a damp cloth and set it in
the refrigerator. If it is not used on
the following day, dampen the cloth
again and rewrap the lettuce You will
pc surprised to find how long lettuce
can be kept from whiting. Even at the
close of a week, the salad will taste
rs though it had just been picked. This
plan is also good for celery.

BEGIN TO SEE LIGHT
PROTECTION CONTINENT GEC,y
ING I'M EUROPE.
Even In England There !e an Cutlery
Against the Present Frce-Trade
System - Colonies Safe
guard Their Interests.

1t certainly is curious that at time
when there is more on less discussion
of the question of revising the tariff of
the United States there should be en-
tirely different propositions abroad in
various other countries. Even in Eng
land which free traders are accus-
toned to regard as the eXemplar Of
economic perfection because it gets
along without protection, there is a
well-defined tendency toward differ
ent policy. 1t is admitted that some
interests in the island are suffering as
a result of ruinous foreign competi-
ton, against which the laws interpose
no check. Agriculture especially is
at low ebb, although in a fertile
country like England, with enormous
manufactures giving employment to
millions of workers and circulating
great sums of money as wages, there
should be not only activity in farm
pursuits, but a ready market for every
food product.
Yet something is the matter in Eng
land, and the cutlery against the exist
ing economic system is growing louder
and louder. In almost every other quar-
ter of TIE globe inhabited by civilized
peoples there is a strong disposition to
maintain protection and increase the
safeguards of home industries. Ger
many recently overhauled it's sched-
ules and raised the rates on many
-, - DC IN,.nv, hn, mo
imum and minimum tariff and does
not hesitate to apply the extreme fig
ures when it thinks it's own interests
will be served thereby. Canada, which
has no use for the free trade Of the
mother country, has long been an ar
dent prctectionist and has lately in
creased some duties, although it gives
preferential figure to England. All
the other important British colonies
have protection, some Of them in the
most pronounced form, and several OF
them have shown an ominous inclina-
tion to take both the economic and po-
litical bits in their teeth and go it
alone" as regards their own affairs.
The late conference of colonial pre-
miers in London was a striking illus
tration of the independent spirit
which, while affirming sturdy ALE
glance to the imperial government, is
becoming more and more intolerant of
restraint in any matter of home con-
Germ.
In every instance here cited it will
be seen that the drift is with the pro-
lection current-that the advanced
and progressive peoples are determined
to safeguard their industries. Posi-
bly, this is selfishness. But it is an en-
lightened selfishness. He who guards
not his own is likely to be accused
sooner or later OF failure to comply
with a most important trust. And the
question naturally suggests itself:
When other nations are taking special
pains to establish economic rules in
their own interest is it a good time to
take down the bars behind which
American industry is thriving because
it is shielded from foreign invasion

seemed to be burning all over.
He moved in on the morning Of
Christmas eve, and explored the
house with kind of numb curiosity
He spent most of the morning in the
shop parlor in the armchair in front
of the fire. He did not even go out
to the quick-lunch room for the beau
tiful dinner that he had promised
himself. He had taken a lot of milk
from the milkman, and he kept drink
ing that. He did not seem to care
about anything but milk, and every
thing felt strange and uncanny. The

lieved was called Santa Claus-was

"'Tis madness but there's method

everything the Standard Oil company
does. Both the madness and method
may be apparent but the ultimate pur-
pose be a bit obscure
The Standard has. by recent order
issued from Cleveland, advanced the

The advance is made right in the
teeth of the strongest sort of public
opposition and it looks like an osen
defiance and retaliation for recent

overgrown octopus.

pose They may honestly think that

that there is no end to the endurance

If the consultation should fail by
reason of the "Jim Crow ordinance
President Roosevelt and his party
would certainly be entitled the blame
The President has been kind enough
to advance some views on the matter
Of railroads and ought not to shy at
the separate coach laws. If he regards
them as repugnant to the enabling act
and the constitutional guarantees.
Whether he may rghtfllly reject the
constitution on mere technicalities
may be and is quite another question,
But II he assumes tHrisdiction and in
tends to reject the constitution on ac-
count of the so called Jim Crow
laws. he ought in eli fairness to say
so before the adiolrnment of the con-
vention. so that Oklahoma might not
by any means lose her chance FOR inn
mediate statehood.
There Is no doubt as to the view the
people would take OF the situation. It
has already been rumored that the Re
pcblican powers that be In Washing
ton would be glad of chance to turn
Oklahoma down as a reward for the

If the President should, on account
of the "Jim Crow ordinance. refuse
TO issue his proclamation, IL would be
very difficult TO explain to the people,
that he had not yielded TO this parity
combine. Il would place him in a very
embarrassing attitude bnt strictly one

President Roosevelt has always

question of foreign armed guards for

very badly without any bitches in the
