SHOES MENDED
WHILE WAITING

Being shod while you wait now ap-
plies to humans as well as animals.
Up at Vfckers' repair shop on Union
street this is accomplished every day.
Yesterday morning a gentleman called
with a pair Of shoes much the worse
for wear and asked that they be re-
paired quickly so he could catch the
train for Eva. Expert Peterson, the
man behind the machines in the Vick-
ers establishment, accomplished the
task in less than twenty-five minutes,
putting the job first IN the hands of
the cobbler where they passed through
the first stage, the soles being fitted to
the uppers. From him they were tax
en- in hand by Mr.. Peterson and the
soles fastened by being sewn with a
thread, waxed at the time by passing
through a container filed with boiling
wax, and kept liquid over gas Jet.
From there they went to the little
machine which trims the edge, thence
to the edge setting, buffing and polish
ing machines in turn. When they had
attention from al! of the different ar
engagements which Mr.. Vickers has IN
stalled in his place they looked very
like pair of new shoes. During the
operation the owners of the foot gear
watched with a smile that plainly ex-
pressed the satisfaction he felt at the
change. vickers does not pride him.

BUFoRD FOR MANILA
The only excitement on the wa
terfront yesterday was the sailing
of the transport Buford for Manila
at II o'clock in the morning. The
Hawaiian band was in attendance ana
what one of the passengers called its
weird music was greatly enjoyed by
those on board. The Buford will PROB
ably make a long trip to Nagasak as
she is not by any means in the best
of condition and has only been brought
into service on account OF the large
amount of freight and the large num-
Der of troops which are going through
at present.
A number of the friends Of Louis
Drewson, formerly first officer OF the
Alameda. but who is now in the trans
mort service, were at the dock TO see
him off. The occasion was bright with
the usual leis.

Foraker.

Senator Foraker has pulled the
fire alarm and the question now is
how generally the department will
turn out. He has taken the only
step by which he might possibly
defeat Secretary Taft. 1t has been
incomprehensible that politician
Of his experience and astuteness did
not recognize this before and either
do more or less. Ohio Republicans
were not going to oppose Taft ex-
cept for the purpose of getting some
other man of their State into the
White House. They were not 60
ing to lose a chance to have a
neighbor of theirs-a man from
their own State-in the Presidency;
and so long as Foraker was simply
trying to prevent the nomination
of Ohio man he could make no
impression When he asks the
people of his State to support him
instead of Taft he is making a very
different proposition to them
He may have waited too long.
1t may be that too many Republi-
can leaders in Ohio have committed
themselves to Taft to admit of his
getting the delegation from his
State. Outside of Ohio it will be
pretty generally admitted that
Taft's chances, with the Admins
tration back of him, are better than
Foraker's, and the Ohio politicians
are particularly anxious to put up
4 man who will be nominated they
care much more about success than
about anything else.
Foraker has been waiting for a
convenient opportunity to announce
his candidacy and he thinks the
panic affords it. What he says in
his letter about the Railroad Rate
law and its effect upon business is
plainly designed to rally to his side
all republicans who believe the
President to have been responsible
in greater or less degree for the
financial collapse. Beyond ques-
ton many Republican business men
have grown cold in the support of
the President, and Mr.. Foraker be-
lieves there is enough of a rift
within the party to give him his
opportunity, This is the principal
significance of his candidacy; it is
bid for the anti Roosevelt Repub-
lican support made when financial
misfortunes have impaired the
prestige of the Administration. -

A NAVIGABLE SUSQUEHANNA.

Speaking of making the Susque-
hanna River a navigable stream the
Philadelphia Ree0yd says:
Among the projects suggested
by the forthcoming Atlantic Coast
Waterways Conference is one which
contemplates the canalization of
rivers which are not now navigable
to the end that they might b.
come "ieede-s" to the Cape Cod-to-
Beaufort inside route. A stream
like the Susquehanna, because OF
its shadows and rapids not service
able at pre- ent as a commercial
highway, could he made SO through
the activity of the water companies
which have begun to exploit its
generous flow for the generation OF
power. The volume OF the Susque-
hanna is four times that of the
Hudson or the Delaware, and every
dam that should be thrown across
1t would create slack water basin
of navigable depth. These navi
gable reaches would only need to
be connected by short canals in or
der to provide the state at a small
expense with a line of communica-
ton by water from Williamsport to
the Chesapeake bay and to where

together of the various reaches of
impounded and deep water would
become merely question of dig

ciple announced has already been
embodied in an act of Congress,
though this regulation OF inter
state commerce may not be appli-
caple to a stream not navigabe and
running through a single state.
Supplementary regulations may be
required from general assembly;
