UNITED WORK
FOR OPEN RIVER
WAR DEPARTMENT RECOM16CN.
DATIONS AND AGGRESSIVE
WORK OF LOCAL COMMITTEE
INSURES BIG SUBSCRIPTION,

The work of securing subscrip-
tons to the Open River association
received boom when the Associated
Press dispatches announced a few
days ago that the war department
would recommend to congress an ap-
preparation of $1.000,000 year to
carry on the construction OF the Ce-
lilo canal and locks. This action in
sures the performance OF the con-
tinuing contract as provided when
the canal construction was first
commenced. and suggests the results
Of the efficient efforts OF the North
west senators and representatives in
congress who have labored for the
past two years in the interests of the
open river improvement.
The assurance of the early com
pletion of the Cello canal and locks
has brought a number of substantial
subscriptions to the onen river fund
during the past few davs, and the
committee in charge of this work Is
now waging most aggressive cam
paign that will be continued until
the entire sum desired has been
realized.
The government has taken def
mite position in the policy OF the i'm
provement OF the waterways and ex-
rects to inaugurate a general plan
Of rivers and harbors Improvement
L.. hot ha ts NJ \
ANA canal can be fully appreciated
when that important construction Is
completed. The following is quo
tation from the message of President
Roosevelt:
"Our great river systems should
be developed as national water high
ways. The national government
should undertake this work, and
hope a beginning will be made in
the present congress. The work
should be Systematically and contin-
uously carried forward in accord
ance with some well-conceived
plan"
Also on February 26 last, when
transmitting to congress the prelim-
irary report OF the inland waterway;
commission, the president said:
"Our people are united in support
of the immediate adoption OF pro
qressiive policy Of inland waterwa,
development. Hitherto the nationa
nolicv OF inland waterway develop
ment has been largely negative. NJ
| single agency has been responsibl'
under congress for making the hes
use ot our rivers or for enforcing
| foresight in their development"

NAVY DEPARTMENT HANDS A
ROAST TO FIGHTING BOB'S"
SON FOR CONDUCT UNBECOM-
ING TO AN OFFICER.

Washington, Nov. 2O.-Lieut.
Frank Evans, e. S. n, who was re-
Gently reduced $50 numbers in rank
for conduct unbecoming an officer
and preiudicial to the service, has
been reprimanded by Acting Secre-
tary Newberry in accordance with
the findings of the courtmartial in
the following language:
THE department for reasons OBJ
vious to the service regards this as
o peculiarly deplorable case and in
publishing its disapproval of the
conduct of Lieut. Evans, refrains
from expressing fully its condemna-
ton of the factions of this officer
on the occasion in question. A cas-
ual reading, however, of the charges
and specifications with the findings
thereon will be sufficient to enable
the service to form its own estimate
of an officer who has found guilty OF
the acts alleged in this case
Admiral Sperry, commander in
chief of the Atlantic fleet OF battlee-
ships. in approving tn BINDINGS said
he did so in order that Lieut.. Evans
shall not entirely escape punish
ment," but made known his belief
that the young officer had not been
adequately punished. The court
martial found Evans guilty OF leav-
ing his station before being ade-
ouatelv relieved. of disrespeetfui
language to his superior omcer anu

ON its face the likeness OF Swisher
and the impress OF Swisherism, al
though the name is missing. Elkins
hand has guided the post norton
maneuvers and it's pulsating sun
ming shines irridescent in every
stage. Elkins knows that the real
reform demanded by those who have
been influential in tearing down the
outward structure reared in the
wigwam at Charleston, contemplates
the lifting of his own scalp, and
his retirement to the life OF a SEN
ator representing the people of West
Virginia, until such a time as it
shall please the people and the pro-
gress of time to retire him t. PR
'at" life. With this Wedge in
bis possession 1T was but natural
mat, in manipulating the recon
struction of the state ticket he
should have exercised such judi
c!ous care to see that nothing trans
pired calculated to mitigate his own
PERSONAL influence, or diminish the
power Of his political domination of
he state.
Hence it Is that the Democratic
managers merely smile when the
salient facts of this death-bed re-
pentance are mentioned. The peo-
pie realize that the removal of the
entire Swisher committee, would not
impair the power of the officehold-
ers' organization, and would not re-
store the administration OF the af-
fairs of the state to an economical
basis. nor rid the tax payers of the
burdens imposed by the horde of
extra officials for whom places have
been created in order that the ma
chine might thrive and become all
