WATeREO STOCKS. BUT NO WATER
WAYS

''On December 4th," says the N. 7
Sun, Senator Newlands introduced a
bill for a number of engineering en-
terprises that in cost and magnitude
will bear about the same relation to
the Panama Canal that the Panama
job bears to the alleged improvement
of the Erie Canal. He places no limit
on the necessary expenditure. but In
addressing the Senate on December II
be expressed his personal opinion that
within Ike next ten years the United
States should spend at least $500 900.
600 in the improvement Of its inland
waterways.
THE Newlands bill sweeps widely.
1t appeals to economic interests and to
political interests. 1t is national in
its breadth and almost visionary in its
nature. 1t comes little short of pro-
posing new earth with incidental
Improvement in the conduct OF the
celestial bodies. 1t affects directly al
most every State in the Union. 1G is
of interest to the advocates OF the I'M
provemeDt of our waterways for trans
pOrtatiOn purposes, to the advocates
OF irrigation, swamp drainage, forest
conservation and reforestation, the
Qualification Of river waters, and their
use for the development of power.
Politicians will flock to its support
because of the possibility of an expen.
diture of large sums of money in their
districts To them it will assume the
dimensions of glorified pork barrel

Five Hundred Millions of watered
stocks can be made to float around
most any where. Indeed only few
enterprises can produce that much
and never feel the jar. The expendi
lures for bogus pensions can be run up
1000, 900 at one session of Congress
and nobody opens bis mouth. Battle
ships costing from 9 to IL millions each
are recon mended when We have no
more use for them than jack rabbit
for tail. But when something real,
something useful, is proposed, with

CRIMINALITY IN BALTIMORE.

Baltimore is having trouble with
criminals. They seem to run loose
and defy arrest, but keep their bust
ness going in way which asJounds
the public. The police commissioners
and the police captains, and the police
men themselves, are each coming in
for criticism. Everybody interested
with executing the law is trying to
shift the burden or the blame to the
other fellow. But with the kind of
politics they have in Baltimore. the
appointees being chosen entirely with
reference to their political performan-
ces, and the whole being mixture Of
''safe and sane" Democracy, with
straightout Republicanism. the won
der is that things are not worse. Such
mixtures are as foul as witches

From far Manila we have received a
