Especially proud l am to stand be-
fore you this afternoon, because the
nation l represent is famed for its
love of reace When it is remembered
that China has a population of four
hundred millions you will agree with
me that its attitude on the subject of
war and peace is Of some importance
to the world at large, and | can assure
you that whatever other changes, po-
litical, educational and social, may
take place in my country, her tradi-
tional policy of settling disputes by
discussion and amicable means will
not be departed from. China has no
schemes of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT at the
expense of others-so often the cause
and preteXt of bellicose action. Even
in her days of past conservatism and
secluson from the nations of the west,
her only desire was to be left alone and
be permitted to enjoy peace. Her mot
to has been and is, Live and let live
1T is not, however, that the Chinese
are afraid to fight. When compelled

FOR FEDERAL MONEY
Question of Building the Lakes to Gulf
Waterway Is One That Is Now
PuzzIing Middle Western
Statesmen.

CHICAGO, May (SpeciaD-The
problem whether to begin the Lakes
to-the-Gulf deep waterway with the
$20,000,000 voted by the state Of Illi-
nois or wait until Uncle Sam provides
cash for putting in the locks and MAX
ing the Illinois ditch a waterway is
under debate with distinguished cham
pions for both sides. Isham Randolph,
engineer for the sanitary district ad-
vocates immediate work, saying:
Whether the government helps or
not, believe the state of Illinois should
go ahead as far as lies within our
from Lockport to Utica, 300 feet wide,
and then if Uncle Sam is not willing
to accept this gift at the hands of our
people, Illinois at least will have it's
own canal, which eventually will pay
for ITSELF
However, Lyman E. Cooley, the faith
er of the drainage canal and conspicu-
ously the champion of the deep water
way says now is no time for imprudent
haste.
THE s20,O00,000 voted for a water
way will do everything but build the
locks said Mr.. Cooley I'VE can as
certain within a years time whether
there is hope of government coopera-
ton. l have no doubt that congress
will ASST US. l believe that the coop
Grafton of congress is more certain
than that we will secure the passage of
bill through the present legislature.
After the report of the engineers in
1905 a bill introduced in congress was
defeated ingloriousIy on the theory that
Chicago wanted to take water out of
the lake for water power. Now the state
of Illinois proposes to confirm that
point of view by proceeding to con-
struct canal Immediately for water
power. 1 apprehend that when the peo-
pie of Illinois voted for the anne ndment
they voted for a waterway and not for
water power. If we insist upon work
ing chiefly for the power we will kill
the waterway to the gulf. Then the cost
OF construction of waterway has been
under estimated Before the waterway
can be built. s7,5O0,O0O must be added
to the $4,000 900"

which befell the two Dayton girls. Carr
