canal. He said
"A plan should not be adopted until fully con-
frmed by expert opinion and careful Investigations
but when it is adopted, when its utility is made
tain, then it is neither economy in the government in
the matter of expenditure nor is it benefit to the
people to delay the furnishing as rapidly as it
be economically expended of the full amount of
money needed to make the Improvement a useful
and completed thing"
1t is the purpose of such institutions as the
Deep Waterways convention to furnish the govern
ment with the expert opinion and careful investga
ton, and to show the merits of the proposition
der consideration. Then it is for the government
to carry the project through to a useful and com
pleted thing. That the project advocated by the
Deep Waterways convention will ultimately betcar
red out nobody seriously doubts. 1t may not come
as soon some expect but it is sure to Gomez that
is if the subject will bear the scrutiny to which it
will be subjected before the government hands
its money to carry it through.

DEEP WATERWAYS.

The Deep Waterway convention, made up of del
egates from forty-four states, held session in Chi
cago last week. and discussed the allimportant sub
ject of improvement in the waterways of the coun-
try While the general improvement of our water
courses is the avowed object of the convention the
es-to-gulf project which would, by deepening the
channel of the Mississippi and building canals to
connect the Father of Waters with the Great Lakes,
make a great central route from the middle of the
country to tdewater, is the project the Deep Water
ways convention is particularly seeking to boost.
Although for years the federal government has
annually spent great amount of money on the
waterways of the nation, no systematic attempt has
been made to develop the rivers into great sys-
TEN. Various rivers have had locks and canals built
in them which permit the passage of steam
boats during the when the rest of the river
is navigable rapids which could not be trav
eled except in the most favorable stages of the
rivers. The efforts of the Deep Waterways con-
vention is to systematic this work-and boost the
lakes-to-gulf project.
That scheme, at first looked upon as visionary
has now the endorsement of engineers who have
given approval to its practicabiity. 1t certainly is
grand conception, for the Mississippi, connected
by canal with the Great Lakes, would furnish
of transportation for territory rich in minerals,
the greatest manufacturing center in the world and
the greatest agricultural center of the world That
section of country known the middle west
has outgrown its transportation facilities and needs
some such arrangement as is here proposed. The
figures which presented to show the saving to be
accomplished are such as to make one wonder why
the project was never thought of before. The cost
of the canal and deepening of the Mississippi chan
mel would be saved to the people in only few years.
according to the enthusiasts, who thus show that
not only would the country directly affected receive
benefits but the people of the nation would be the
benefciares by the resulting economies of transpor
taton. We would like to see the Great Lakes and
the Gulf of Mexico connected by ship canal, be-
cause it would make the nation greater.
Judge William II. Taft spoke at the convention,
and among other things he said that the lakes-to-
gulf project should receive the same attention and

was present no spirit of discord, nc

feeling but desire for republican
success and for the promotion of re-
publican interests. The business OF
the committee was speedily dispatch
ed and there was no friction, no
alignment for this. or that faction,
and no necessity for such an align

The committee resolved in favor of
the Taft candidacy in a resolution In
dorsing the Roosevelt administration
and expressing the belief that Taft
was best fitted to carry on the good
work. This was largely the expires.
sion of the personal sentiment of the
members of the committee, since the
state convention is properly the place
for such an expression. Nevertheless
it was believed by some of the mem.
bers of the committee that silence on
this matter might be misconstrued
and the impression be given credence
that the committee was not favorable
to the Taft candidacy. The resolu.
tion was as follows:
Proud of the achievement of
the republican party, and reaf.
firming our Endorsement of Theo-
| dore Roosevelt and the policies
he has advocated and regretting
the refusal of the president to
acceed to the almost unanimous
! demand of the voters to accept a
denomination, we recognize in
! Secretary Taft man. possessing
4 the craftsmanship, fearlessness
and honesty of purpose to carry
forward the policies inaugurated
and maintained by the present
republican administration, and
we respectfully recommend him
| to the republican voters of the
state of North Dakota as the best
qualified candidate for president
of the United States.
The republicans of the state
should ever be mindful of the
fact that they have common en-
envy to combat, and they should
not, before the primaries, so con-
duct the campaign in the inter-
est of the various candidates that
they cannot consistently at the
November election support the
successful party candidates
though they may not, as individ-
uals or factions, have favored
their nominations at the primar-
les -5l
It is a matter of Importance to the
republicans of the state that they
do not overlook the significance OF
this last paragraph The primary
| election law means two elections-it
means campaign during which this
candidate and that candidate go be-
fore the people with their respective
claims for Office. In the heat of cam
paigns and in the haste and fury OF
combat, there may be many charges
made. and many things said that
would be well left unsaid. 1t must
be remembered by the republicans
| of the state that there should be nc
bitter fight between factions that will
| imperil the election of whomeve1
shall be the party nominee. We need
sane counsel, GOODNESS, good judg.
ment and wisdom, on the part OF
party leaders.

THE STAR OF EMPIRE

for the holding of the republican
state convention to choose delegates
to the national convention is an in
dication of the growth of the state
and the moving of the center of pop
ulation to the westward. A compare
lively few years ago and there were
but two cities in the state whose size
and accommodations made the hold
ing of a convention possible. But
there are now a number of cities in
the western part of the state equal
to such occasions and this is indicat-
ed in the choice of Minot. This city
now has population of six or seven
thousand people and is live, hustl-
ing and energetic community. 1t
has good hotel accommodations, is
accessible to the western part of the
state over the 500 line, which has
completed its Bismarck branch to Mi
not, and to the central and southern
parts of the state by the main line
of the 500, which has a direct line
from Hankinson through Valley City
to the metropolis of the Mouse The
eastern and northern parts of the
state are accessible by the Great

point of transportation and accessi-
bility Minot is qualified for conven-
lions. The representatives of the
city who were present at the meet
ing of the state central have prom
ised that the delegates will be suit
ably entertained and to those who
know the calibre of the Minot peo-
pie it is. plain that nothing will be
left undOne to make the entertain
ment complete.
1t is significant of the growth of
the state westward when it appears
that Ward county has within one of
the highest number of delegates of
any county in the state-having "a
delegates to % for Cass-and having
several more than Grand Forks, and
others of the big Red river valley
counties. Morton and Mclean coun-
ties have also more delegates than
Grand Forks, where the republican
representation has suffered through
the wholesale cutting of the ticket
at the last election. But, even aside
from that, it is APPARENT that the west
ern part of the state is growing
rapidly and beyond the belief of the
people in its eastern end. Adams,

ties have been provided with five del

ing claimed that there are ii Het-
finger county from 5000 to 900 peo-
pie. Morton and Stark have grown
wonderfully in the past few years
and it is safe to say now that the cen.
ter of population has moved num-
Der OF miles west-it being claimed
by some to be considerably west Of
the James river. Be this as it may,
the western part of the state is COM
ing into it's own and is entitled to
convention, on the theory that hon
ors such as this should be passed
around among those cities that de-
serve them. The holding of the con-
yention at Minot will give many of
the people of the state their first OPP
portuity to become acquainted with
the growth and development of this
great section of country of which
Minot is the trading center. and will
tend to give them better concep-
ton of the splendor and possibili-
ties of their own state.
