Waste IN WATERWAYS

Lost Opportunities Pointed Out in

TALKS OF COMING CONFERENCE
Declares Movement for Atlantic In.
land Route Is Of Great Con-
Germ to Common People.

BALTIMORE. September 11-Repre-
sentative J. Hampton Moore Yesterday
delivered a talk on the Atlantic water
| ways plan. There was conference Of
prominent business men in the mayors
Office. at which plans were formulated to
get the aid of Congress in the big work.
Representative Moore said:
In company with Chairman Burton
of the rivers and harbors committee.
have just had the honor of inspecting
certain Of the waterways Of Europe and
he result of that inspection has been to
convince me more than ever of the great
Importance of American agitation for ana
insistence upon deeper and improved wa
terways for purposes OF transportation
and of commerce.
Far Behind Europe.
we arc far behind the European coun-
tries in this respect. On their eide they
have the advantage of many centuries
Of experience and expenditure. On our
side We have been so prosperous in other
directions and so wasteful OF our natural
resources. If you please. that We have
overlooked some of the foundation stones
upon which the ultimate success of our
country will depend.
The approaching convention OF the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association,
to be held in Baltimore November IL to
10. will emphasize the work Of the AS
ISOLATION during the past year and rally
the supporters of the policy we advocate.
What this means to the commercial, In
dustrial and agricultural interests no man
can estimate. If the opening OF a water
way from the north side of Cape Cod to
Long Island sound means the saving Of
trade. why should We not strive for the
completion of il?
Great Concern to Common People.
IF the deepening of an inland channel
between the Delaware river and the
Chesapeake bay will give to American
ships of war safe inside passage and
q harbor for repairs or for stores in
will save an outside sailing distance OF
hundreds of miles. with all its perils.
why should a great nation like this hest
tate to provide such deeper channel?
"If again-and 1 regard this as Of
greater concern to the common people
the deepening of such q waterway be-
tween any such ports along the Atlantic
coast. or from any point Of production
to any point Of shipment. will enable the
farmers or the manufacturers to do more
business than they hitherto have done
or will provide facilities that will at.
tract trade and encourage the Develop
ment of American shipping. why ShOuA
We not provide such waterways ana thus
strengthen the hands OF the beeAdWin-
ners of our country"

Driving Her Insane.


Seven new complaints were laid before
the commission. which had been received
since it's last session. The most promi-
nent among them was one from a lady Of
national reputation. who for years has
made her home at hotel facing street
| between 14th and 10Th streets. Her COM
plant was addressed to Maj Richard
Sylvester, and was by him referred to the
| commission. She implored the major to
get rid of the loose rails and the whole
machinery of WORKOUT cars and trucks
which, she says. make night hideOus in
| that locality with their noise She states
that If Secretary Eddy has the power and
will only root out and burn them. she

hang flags out Of her windows, and hire a
| hand to play ''Oh, say. can you see. by the
dawn's early light, the f1ambuoyant vision
| Of our new freedom?" She seriously
warned the major that unless something
| of the sort was done. and done quickly.
! she will surely be candidate for st. Eliz-
abeth before inauguration day.
| Another complaint from a gentleman
who cites as a precedent for the adoption
of his suggestion the fact that the cars
on 7th street stop regularly on one side,
and on signal on the other. at K street
| northwest asks that the cars going east
| on c street northeast be required to reg

Comment by Chicagoan.

Speaking of this institute in report to
interested people of the west, Secretary
George f. Stone of the Chicago board of
trade said:
Business and industrial interests have
materially suffered in consequence of OBJ
stacles that impeded the operation Of the
law of supply and demand chief among
which Is the dissemination of unreliable
unofficial information concerning the
worlds food supply and the worlds food
demand.
Al present the worlds summary of
growing crops. stocks on hand, quantity
on passage is defective, ds!ocated If

be as soon possible supplanted by a
uniform. well-disested system of. collect
ing and disseminating this information
in clear, concise and authoritative form.
1t should not be done by one nation,
or under the supervision and ad-
vice of one nation, but II should
be carried out by the consensus of opin-
ion of all nations as to items. ciasslca-
ton. etc. and should be given to the
world at stated and frequent periods.

New York was clearing for certain
other bank that was in trouble, and
every day the president of the clearing
house bank would certify a couple of
million dollars worth of checks for the
other. Finally thepaying tellercalled his
attention to the fact that he was taking
mighty long chance, but the president
paid no attention to the hint. Then the
teller Informed the clearing house Of
the situation, and the president was
called to book.
did my paying teller tell you that?"
demanded the president
'He did," replied the chairman of the
clearing house committee.
''I shall discharge him at once" de-
clared the president. bristling up with
indignation.
''You do and we'll close your bank
tomorrow, calmly replied the chair
man.
Needless to say, the teller was not
discharged.-NewY York Globe

WISCONSIN will mourn the death of
Chief Justice Cassoday. For twenty
seven years be was a member of the
supreme court and for twelve years was
it's chief justice. He served the state
long and we'll and deserved the nigh
honor that was given him. Judge Cas-
soday was not man of brilliant parts.
but he was good lawyer and good
Judge. He was cautious, fair, upright
and careful in all of his work. He was
AN unusually hard worker. His pres
'ence on the bench gave proof that every
case would have fair and just hearing.
He had the confidence of his associates
and of the members of the bar. While
still young man he came to GAINESVILLE,
and practically without any friends,
Judge Cassoday rapidly forced his way
to the front ranks of his profession by
virtue of his gift of industry, a quality
which made older members of the bar
look to their laurels when competing
with him. Although never regarded as
howery orator, Judge Cassoday was a
fluent and convincing speaker, and be-
fore he removed to Madison be often
took the stump during political cam
paigns in Rock county.

May Settle Tobacco War,

growers and buyers called by Gov. Will
son that the tobacco war in Kentucky
will be amicably settled. The conference
was in session until late hour Friday
night and adjourned with the under
standing that the American Tobacco
company would on January examine
samples of the tobacco held by the Bur
ley tobacco society at Winchester. The
society holds 100000 pounds of tobac-
CO, but the American company made it
clear that it could not use all of this.

much adulteration, but the fact is that
experiments have demonstrated :. that
hardly any household product is more
generally adulterated. At the Philadel-

of them said that in the ten years he has
