INLAND WATERWAYS.
Great River Systems Shonid Be Made
Into National Highways.

The conservation of our natural re-
sources and their proper use constitute
the fundamental problem which under
lies almost every other problem of our
national life. We must maintain for
our civilization the adequate material
basis without which that civilization
cannot exist: we must show foresight:
we must look ahead. AS a; nation we
not only enjoy wonderful measure Of
present prosperity, but if this prosper
lily is used Alright 1t is an earnest of
future success such as no other nation
Will have. The reward Of foresight for.
this nation is great and easily foretold.
But there must be the look ahead;
there mus be realization of the fact
that to waste, to destroy our natural
resources, to skin and exhaust the land
instead of using it SO as to increase its
usefulness, will result in undermining
In the days Of our children the very
prosperity which we ought by right to
hand down to them amplified and de
yeloped. For the last few years
through several agencies the govern
ment has been endeaForing to get our
people to look ahead and to substitute
a planned and orderly development OF
our resources in place of haphazard
striving for immediate profit. Our
great river systems should be develop

No question growing out of our rapid
and complex industrial development is
more important than that Of the en-
pigment OF women and children. The
presence of women in industry reacts
with extreme directness upon the char
acter of the home and upon family
life, and the conditions surrounding the
employment OF children bear a vital re-
iation to our future citizenship. Our
Legislation in those areas under the
control Of the congress is very much
behind the legislation Of our more pro-
gressive states. A thorough and COM
prehensive measure should be adopted
at this session Of the congress relating
to the employment Of women and chill.

538s Eight Hour Law. $3*z3
The congress should consider the ex-
tension Of the eight hour law. The con.
stitutionality Of the present law has
recently been called into question, and
the supreme court has decided that the
existing legislation is nquestionably
within the powers Of the congress.
The principle of the. eight hour day
should as rapidly and as far as prac.
ticabie be extended to the entire work
carried on by the government, and the
present law should be amended to EN-
brace contracts on those public works
which the present wording of the act
has been construed to exclude. The
general Introduction Of the eight hour
day should be the goal toward which
we should steadily tend. and the gov
eminent should set the example in this
respect.
Strikes and lockouts, with their at
tendant loss and suffering, continue TO
increase. For the FIVE years ending
Dec. 81, 1905, the number OF strikes
was greater than those in my previous
ten years and was double the number

DECREE TAXING IMPORTS
FROM u. s.

Washington, April 1S.-Although
the notice issued yesterday in Paris.
OF a decree imposing maximum du-
ties on coffees, imported from the
United States and Porto Rico, has
not yet reached the state department
officials were fully prepared for some
action, having been informed in the
course of the correspondence, which
has been going on the past six
months, that it was contemplated.
The reason for the issue of de-
cree is said to be the dissatisfaction
Of the French government at the fail
ure OF the United States senate to
act upon the French reciprocecy
treaty pending before that body sew
.eral years.
Added to this, It is said, is a su-
spicion on the part OF the French gov
.ernment that the negotiations now In
progress between the United States
and Germany, relative to tariff upon
American goods imported into Ger
many, comedies some advantage to be
bestowed upon German trade with
the United States, in which the
French trade is not to share.
This decree IS regarded as the be-
ginning of a systematic effort to
bring such pressure to bear upon the
American congress, though the I'm
position Of restriction upon the
American export trade, as will force
the whole subject of reciprocity upon
its atteRtion at he beginning OF the
next session.

HAVING FUN WITH
COL. HARVEY

These are black and bitter days for
our friend, Col. George Harvey, edl-
tor Of Harper's Weekly. At times
Col. Harvey suffers from the hallu-
cination that he is a railroad rate
and that Mr.. Roosevelt is about to
regulate him. At other times he
thinks he is the Standard OIL com
pany and that a federal jury has con-
vlcted him on 1863 separate counts.
When free from either OF these ds-
lusions he believes that he IS a Chi
.cago and Alton reorganization which
the interstate commerce commission
is about to Investigate, OF else that
he is a brother Of Mr.. Roosevelts g
spear and has been disowned Ac-
cording to other rumors Col Harvey
is sometimes convinced that he is
national prosperity and that the ad-
ministration is interfering with him.
But at all events It IS a very sad
.case.-New York World.

on the 21st OF May the new law
regulating the working hours of tele-
graph operators and train dispatchers
as passed at the last legislative meet

ty that this law will affect some
of those who are now following that
line in the state, no notice OF any
kind has been received by which the
operators are enabled to tell who
the fortunate ones will be.
II appears that the law as passed
by the law-makiAg body at Charles
ton, is not exactly clear on the point
of who it will include. for all Of the
men who are interested in its pas
sage, who have studied the law as
passed draw an entirely diRerent
meaning. 1t was stated yesterday
that several new men were put into
service or at least have been prom
ised positions to start to work on
May 2lst, but in an effort to find out
the truth OF his statement Il was not
