If congress dismisses the subject

this session for any reason, a danger.
Gus delay will have taken place. Re-
CARELESS of finances, or of politics. the
good of the whole country demands
immediate consideration and decision
on this subject and its Importance is
scarcely overshadowed by the currency
question. If congress limits It's con-
structive legislation to the financial
system, It will find itself shortly, on
expert testimony, face to face with a
problem of almost as serious aspects;
for a congestion in commerce is COM
parable to a congestion in the circula-
ton Of money. BY RELOCATING some OF
the less important subjects and work
ing on the questions of finance and
transportation simultaneously, the
country will soon regain its normal
condition; but if one great question
is solved only to find another has be-
come acute, and become acute through
neglect, there, is no prospect of indus
trial tranquility in the. near future.
With the session hardly begun
there is ample time for congress to
take up the transportation problem
and before Adjournment so lons
way toward definite action. The
chief danger is that congress will let
the time slip by without doing the
vast amount of investigation and con-
sideration that must be preliminary to
legislation such as is desired for river
and harbor improvements. By getting

river organizations will have made a

operations and the failure to do it

effective relief to the transportation
crisis the country is approaching. But
this is a scheme that congress will de-
bate extensively before 1t will ao
cept it, and with the presidential con-
test at hand, favorable action is a
matter of conjecture. Either of the
parties could enhance its prospects of
success by boldly advocating water
ways Improvements on a large scale,
if the people generally realized the
acute situation in the transportation
world; but the suffering of the bust
ness machinery from the cramped ia
cilities is not yet sharp enough to be
a live issue.
Delegates to the waterways con-
vention held here last December, who
heard Mr.. Knapp, of the interstate
commerce commission, and Mr.. James
j. Hill, of the Great Northern rail-
road. speak on the transportation
problem, received a new idea of what
river improvements mean to the coun-
try. These speakers showed that
river improvements were needed not
so much to improve business as to pre-
vent the present volume of business
from retrograding; for both asserted
that the railroads have reached the
limit of their capacity to handle the
nations commerce through their in
ability to secure new capital to make
extensions and repairs. Both agreed
that the wholesale improvement of
rivers on an intelligent and compre-
hensive scale, is the only solution;
and as this solution in the nature of
things will require years to work out,

ting to work on Il, becomes alarming

Columbus, o. - With the with
drawal of David J.. Rockwell from
the Democratic ticket as lieutenant
governor, 1t has developed that the
state ticket of the Democrats has
never been fled with the secretary of
state. Although there will be eight
tickets on the general ballot this fall,
only two of them have been filed,
they being the Republican and the
Prohibition tickets. Those who have
failed to file their tickets are the
Democrats, Socialists, Peoples party,
Socialist Labor, Populist and the In
dependence party. While all the par
ties have until October to file the
list of nominees, this is the first time
that either of the leading parties has
withheld the filing.

EFFECTS OF TYPE KRRoRs.
Were Frequent In Days When setting
Was Done by Hand.

Typographical errors that produced
weird or comical effects are described
by the st. Louis Republic in an article
recalling the days when all OF that
newspapers type was set by hand,
before the introduction of typesetting
machines, when the copy" instead
of being typewritten, was turned over
to the printer in an infinite variety of
good, bad and Indifferent chirography.
Comparatively few of the errors
were allowed to contribute to the gay
ity we're squelched In the "house OF
correction" as the proof room was
facetiously termed. From q collec-
ton made by a proof-reader the fol-
lowing instances of ridiculous misread-
ing Of copy was taken:
His blushing bride" was trans
formed into Ibis clustering BRIDE"
A captain is said to have served
with destruction in the confederate
army" but the writer thought he
wrote distinction"
Two pictures entitled "The Galley
Slave" and Each in Their Turn"
were referred to as THE Galley
Love" and "Enoch in Shin Town
Having in mind the influence OF for
mer citizens of the land of the sham
rock upon the political destinies Of the
town, what more natural than that
the printerman should set up an Irish
district court" where 1t had been the
First district court?"
Prof. Frank Gecks was mentioned
as having rendered violent selec-
tions" rather than "violin selections"
Somebody was quoted as saying
that "all the singing folks on the vau-
deville stage have hundreds of wives"
but the copy, when carefully exam
ined, was found to read Husbands and
wives" and a sensation in the the
atrical world was averted.
"They sailed for three days around
the cape and finally slaughtered q
small Italian" was corrected to read

On one occasion the reporter wrote
of certain "dwarfed and hungered
children who were made to appear
perhaps more pathetic when the COM
positor substituted the words "doorfed
and haggard."
He takes delight in talking on his
family shame" was shameful thing
to say about him, for "favorite theme"
was meant.
