Inland Waterway
Pensacola to Mobile.

The article of the late Senator NAL
lory, published in The Journals
Christmas Edition, and dealing with
the subject of gulf coast inland
waterway, has attracted widespread
attention, and considerable discussion
has followed its appearance.
In this connection reader OF The
Journal sends the paper the following
joint resolution by Representative
Wiley, of Alabama, which was intro
duced in the house of representatives
Dec. 16, last, and referred to- the riv
ers and harbors committee:
Joint resolution authorizing and di
recting the secretary of war to cause
an examination and survey to be made
of an inland waterway or canal from
Mobile Bay to Perdido Bay, and from
the latter bay to Escambia Bay, OF
such width and depth as will be suf.
flcient to permit of the navigation of
such vessels. as ordinarily navigate
said bays.
Resolved by the senate and house of
representatives of the United States
of America in congress assembled.
That the secretary of war be, and he
is hereby. authorized and directed to
cause to be made an examination and
survey of an inland waterway from
Mobile Bay TO Perdido Bay, in the
state of Alabama, and from said Per
dido Bay 10 Escambia Bay, in the state
Of Florida, for the purpose of esti-
mating the probable cost of the con-
struction Of a canal three hundred
feet wide by nine feet deep, or of
such width and depth as will be sui
ficient to permit of the navigation of
such vessels as ordinarily navigate
said bays, and for other purposes.
1t is to be hoped that this resolu-
ton may receive a favorable report.
The cost of the survey would not be
great, and the information to be Sc
cured would be of great value.
Just how much money it would take
TO create this inland waterway be-
tween Mobile bay and Escambia bay
is, in the absence Of a survey and
estimate, somewhat problematical, bun
the sum would not be large and the
value of this highway OF commerce
when once completed would be OF In
calculable benefit to the people of the
gulf coast from Mobile to Pensacola
and on east to the heads of navigation
in the streams that flow into Escam-
bia anc Choctawhatchee bays.

SOUND DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE

Last week in The News editor :
old home county Of Burnet. in
the courthouse thereof. Demo
cratic convention passed the fol.
lowing resolutions:
Whereas. the time bound prin-
clples of the Democratic party
are unalterably opposed to all or
CARNATIONS of capital whose pur-
poses and results are in re
straint Of trade and the destruc-
ton Of healthy competition,
And whereas. it is equally
wrong and ruinous to good gov
eminent for public officials TO
sell their legal or personal servi-
ces to such combinations Of
wealth:
And, whereas, it has been
shown and admitted by himself
that Senator Joseph ". Bailey
has been guilty Of this great
wrong:
Therefore. be it resolved, that
what is known as "Baileyism is
opposed to the teachings and
practice Of true Democracy. and
prejudicial to good government:
hence we are opposed to Senator
Balley's selection as d delegate
10 the next National Convention.
Resolved, further, that we will
support no man for State Senator
or Floater Representative TO the
Lower House Of the Legislature
who viii not pledge himself to
oppose and vote against any Dem
ocrat who sells his services to
public trusts and corporations.
Resolved, further. that we cor
daily endorse the administration
OF Gov. Campbell, and the official /
record OF Attorney General Day- T
ldson as wise, fearless, able and /
Democratic, and pledge our in
huence and support in the com
ing primary election.
Whatever others may think
The News is firmly Of the opin-
ion that these resolutions express
sound Democratic doctrine"

chartered last year for the pur
pose of building a railroad from
Canyon City toa connection with
the Rock Island at a point north
east of WaShburn. it was deter
mined to enter the field of active
operations as soon as financial
conditions will warrant.
The officials and stockholders
of this company are Canyon City

build the road themselves, if they
see fit to do so. They are not
asking outside help nor are they
making any big talk about whats
going to happen, just saving
wood, as the saying goes. It's
