FORAKER WILL NOT
OPPOSE NEGRO SURVEYOR

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 5.-Senator
Foraker, who has led a persistent fight
since congress assembled to obtain fair
play for the discharged soldiers of the
Twenty-fifth infantry, seems resigned
90 the appointment of Eugene Tyler, a
negro as surveyor of the port of Gin
cinnati.
He will not make a fight against the
confirmation of Tyler, if he is nomi-
mated, and will not oppose him in any
way.
Ohio has a large contingent of negro
voters and it would not be judicious
for Mr.. Foraker to antagoniZe them.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 5.-Congress-
man Hubbard says the rivers and har-
pors committee is disposed to show
more liberality toward the Missouri riv-
er In the future and he has decided to
vote for the bill this year. He reached

1t indicates the right disposition. Chair

have been desirious of getting an
amendment to the measure which shall
provide that this years appropriation
may be used for the maintenance of the

1t ought to be applied to the Missouri.

House Hears Hepburn.
Congressman Hepburn addressed the
members on the proposed deep water
way from Chicago to the gulf. He made
q reply to Clark of Montana, whom he
said wanted to build a waterway 1000
miles in extent between granite walls
200 feet high. He had seen the Missis-
sippi when five miles in extent, with
a volume of water that would defy
the puny efforts of man to hold IL.
He characterized the scheme as "Utop-
Ian and chimerical" and declared when
the proposed waterway from st. Louis
to Cairo should be completed 1T would
have a velocity of from twenty to
twenty-five miles an hour.
That would be admirable for down
stream navigation" he said but how
would vessels get up? We have spent
on improvements and waterways in
the United States SPAS, 900, 900 and OF
this amount nearly $40, 900, 900 has
been spent on the Mississippi" Hep
burn a h steamboat as a mode of
transportation was a thing of the past.
1t was his belief that a double track
railroad would have a cheaper carrying
capacity per mile than the Hennepin
canal.
He was followed closely by the house
and gave notice OF amendment to limit
the expenditure for the Missouri river
to the protection of its banks and chan
mel, but not for the improvement of the
navigation OF the stream.

discouraged people brooded over these
editorials which promised happiness t.
sorrow and success to failure. The des

man of fine tastes and Of very consid

beat Roosevelt or anyone he may ia

proper person to accomplish this. Is
Hughes any the less qualified for the

A period of suspended animation
seems to be about the only course
open to the local Y. M. G. A. at pres
ent, and it is a question whether this
plan will not prove the most beneti-
cial in the end. AS has been point
ed out on previous occasions lack of
financial support is not the only
trouble with the local association. 1t
has suffered of late from a lack of
public confidence, due to the slipshod
manner in which the rooms have been
conducted, until now many of its for
mer supporters feel as if the cause
had ceased almost to be worthy
one. This is blunt statement but it
is true one. AS a local minister
said the other day, it would be dis
grace indeed to have the association
discontinued but no more of dis
grace than to have it continued I'M
der the circumstances that have ex
1SUtu u ldIt. w ucu CUuOlJlouo DC-
come such that the Y. M. G. A. has
the reputation of being mischief
making headquarters for the youth of
the town it is high time for it to close
entirely or to submit to a thorough
reorganization. just at present the
reorganization plan does not seem
feasible because of the money that
would be required to start the asso-
citation along lines broad enough to
ensure any measure of success. The
better idea, therefore, seems to be
to close the rooms temporarily and
keep them closed until systematic
campaign shall have raised enough
money to make possible new start
in the right direction.
