ton in functions of the w. ID. c., be-

tition with that by rail. This phase of
the situation Is one that the national
rivers and harbors congress has long
sought to impress on the minds of the
American public and on congress. Its
contention all along has been that not
less than $50, 900 a year should be
appropriated for just this class Of i'm
provement work, and it is very likely
that the sixtieth congress will be ever
more generous in the bill providing
funds for waterways development thar
its predecessor.
The last few days in Washington
really go down in history as Confed-
crate week. The men in gray and the
Daughters Of the Confederacy prac-
tically took possession of the national
capital, and for the first time In his
tory a column in gray marched down
Pennsylvania avenue from the capitol
to the White House. 1t was a pa
thetic handful of the former warriors
under "Jeb" Stuart and Stonewall
Jackson. Each of the marchers car
ried his old arms, whether it was cav
airy saber or the heavy musket affect
ed by the infantry of those stirring
times. Headed by a band, the vet
Grams of a passing day marched down
the avenue with the stars and bars
fluttering beside the flag of the united
country. A large number of veterans
who attended the reunion at Richmond
came here to call at the White House.
There were number from Kentucky
who had fought in the great struggle
under General Morgan. They told the
president that IL he were again in
need of rough riders they were ready
for service. Mr.. Roosevelt told his
visitors several stories and they went
away highly pleased.
Missouri is taking rank as one of
the greatest centers Of the boot and
shoe Industry. According to q census
bulletin just issued, Missouri now
stands as the fourth state in the Union
in this especial line of manufacture,
being outranked in the value of it's
product only by Massachusetts,, New
York and Ohio. Since 1900 Missouri
has outstripped New Hampshire Penn
sylvania and Maine. The total value
of the boots and shoes manufactured
in Missouri in 1905 was 1920, 107 900, an
increase of twenty-three per cent. The
fact that the Missouri manufacturers
believe firmly in the value of printers
Ink is reflected in the statement that
the miscellaneous expenses Of the bus
mess In that year had advanced
eighty per cent, due almost entirely to
the increase in advertising.
Unless somebody can shut off Justice
Harlan of the supreme court 1t is
highly probable that Secretary Taft
never will decrease his girth. The Ken
tuckian is a frequent caller on the Sec
retary of war, and the real reason for
his numerous visits seems to be to un-
load upon, the secretary the latest Of
his large stock of funny stories. Mr.
Taft never is too busy to see Justice
Harlan and on the occasion of each
visit the State, War and Navy Depart
ment building is shaken to the rafters
with the roars of laughter that come
from behind the closed door Of the
war secretary's private office. Justice
Harlan himself is no lightweight and
he laughs in as deep a bass as Mr..
Taft. When the two laugh together

Special Correspondence of The Herald.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-"Cannon
and Hughes in 1908" is the ticket as
seen by Assistant Secretary of State
F. B. Loomis, who has just returned
from a tour of New York state. There
is evidently going to be hard fight in
the Empire state over who shall control
the state delegation, President Roose-
welt or Governor Hughes. 1t will not
be open warfare, and when the slate is
finally arranged outsiders will believe
firmly that it was the result OF har-
monious party action. But there will
be a fight just the same, and Uncle

it. 1t will be remembered that he re-
Gently paid visit to Governor Hughes
and had long and earnest conference
with him. Speaker Cannon's activities
just as the present time are causing
the other presidential candidates some
sleepless nights. Just when 1t was be-
lieved the administration had kicked a
large hole in the Cannon boom Uncle
Joe" popped up at Albany, was found
a day or so later in New York in con-
ference with officers of the American
Protective Tariff league, and later he
appeared in the south, where he patted
on the back all the Republicans south
of the Mason and Dixon line and told
them what noble people they were.
Not even excepting Senator Knox,
Uncle Joe" was plainly the livest wire
in the whole presidential conduit.
Evidence is accommodating that with
the completion of the Hennepin canal
from the Mississippi river to La Sale,
ILL.,, where the Improvement of the Illi-
nois river begins, extending to the
drainage canal, there will be opened up
clear route from Chicago to the Mis-
sissippi river and by that means to all
of the Mississippi valley states The
effect of this will be the regulation Of
existing freight rates to an enormous
territory. On coal, for instance the
rate from Chicago to the Mississippi
will be about so cents ton against
present charge of $1.30, and higher
rate for salt and other bulky freights.
The states of the Ohio valley will
share in this reduction of freight
charges, so widespread will be the eff
feet of water transportation in compe-
