HELPS Deep WATERWAYS
PRESIDENT TALKS TO RIVERS
AND HARBoRs CONGRESS.
Chief Executive Announces Himself
Warm Supporter of Inland
improvements.

Misunderstanding in strong In
dorsement of the policy of waterway i'm
provement. President Taft stirred up
much enthusiasm during the opening
hours of the sixth convention Of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress here
Wednesday.
Hundreds of delegates, representing
every section of the United States, filled
the great banquet hall Of the New VIII
lard, where they sat under their state
banners. Men and women delegates
arose when the arrival Of the President
vas announced and gave their visitor q
noisy reception, concluding the demon
stration with three cheers and a tiger.
Upon being presented TO the assem-
blage President Taft spoke at length,
dwelling upon his interest in the policy
Of waterway improvement, and offered
advice to the delegates upon methods for
attaining the ends they seek.
Il congratulate this congress- said
Mr.. Taft, ION having brought the sub
Jet of waterways to such a point that
the representatives in Congress from one
end Of the country TO the other recognize
il as a subject that calls for action.
They have not come to definite conclu-
sion as to the policy that ought to be
adopted, but they have come to the con-
clusion that some policy must be adopted
with reference to the development Of
those instrumentalities which nature has
furnished for the transportation Of goods
and for the controlling Of railroad rates.
"A year ago President Roosevelt and
{ were together on a platform before the
Conservation of Resources Convention,
In which we both advocated the issuing
Of bonds in order that project for inn
proving waterways when begun should
be completed in a reasonable time. am
still consistent advocate Of that theory.
But l want to suggest a word OF eau
ton You are going TO encounter in
Congress great opposition to the policy
Of issuing bonds right out of hand. You
are much more likely to get from Con-
gress a declaration of policy in the shape
Of declaration that a certain improve
ment ought to be carried out and spread
upon the minutes of Congress in the form
Of a resolution or a declaration in a
statute. What advise you to do is to
get that declaration.
Then when the time comes that po-
litieal exigeney shall prevent the appro-
priation of sufficient money from the
current revenue to put the proper part
Of the project through the coming year
Or the coming two years as economy re-
quires, then the question OF issuing bonds
will arise. would get the declaration
FIRST, and not have the bonds first, for
the reason that you will encounter the
objection by Congress that the issuing Of
bonds and the receipt of the money will
develop a desire to be extravagant."

THE LEXINGTON BELFRY.
Where the First Call Of the Revolu.
ton Rang Out.

From the New York Sun.
The ancient but far from decadent
town of Lexington has suffered loss
comparable only with that which befell
Venice when the Campanile crashed
down into the piazza below. What the
Campanile was to the city of the doges
the belfry was to this sturdy old Mas
sachusetts town. Nor should the nearby
boundaries of Lincoln and Bedford Who'll
ly include the fame of this belfry. for 1t
was from this belfry that there sounded,
one hundred and thirty-four years ago,
the first authentic call to revolution, and

Philadelphia was to take up and reecno

forgotten and now has fallen. StanuIng

sight of trolley tourists out of the course
OF the ordinary excursionist. it has quiet

Even the local historian too has passed
in Lexington. The oldest inhabitant who

children of the Minute Men formed on
the same green which saw the battle,

has joined the older generation in the
little graveyard beyond the common.
Like all towns about it. Lexington has
surrendered something of its individual
ity to become suburban. and the trolley
has little triumphed over tradition.
Nevertheless. there will remain a few
who still love their old New England
TO rejoice in the announcement that the
selectmen, the successors of the Lockrs
and Merriams and Parkers and Swans
Of other years, have decided to rebuild
the old belfry. Rebuild it--even that is
not quite necessary. After a hundred

Alcohol and Gout.
London Telegraph

From the London Telegraph.
OF all articles of diet those most likely
to bring on gout are alcoholic drinks of
all kinds, although there are a few that
are really comparatively harmless in
this respect, such as whisky and light
Rhine wines. 1t may be noted In pass
ing that gout is comparatively uncommon
in Scotland and the Rhine provinces,
where respectively whisky and light
hooks are popularly consumed in prefer
ence to heavy matted liquors. The late
Sir Alfred Garrod, who was ac-
knowledged authority on gout. very
strongly expressed his opinion of the part
played by alcoholic drinks in the pro-
duction of gout i'll the following terms
There is no truth in medicine better
established than the fact that the use of
fermented liquors is the most powerful
of all the predsposing causes of gout
nav so powerful that ii may be a ques-
tion whether gout would ever have been
known to mankind had such beverages
not been indulsed in.
