THE PRESIDENT ON THE
BOSOM OF THE FATHER
OF WATERS

There sailed down the Mississippi
river the past week an imposing
feet. 1t bore the members of the
Lakes-to-Gulf Deep Waterway Assoc
citation, the Mississippi River Com
mission and, in addition, President
Taft, three Cabinet officers, eight
representatives. OF foreign countless,
the Governors Of thiry-two S ,ates,
the Speaker of the House Of Repre-
sentatives and III mem bers of Con-
gress, inclusive of 90 Senators. The
fleet was en- route to the waterways
convention which meets in New
Orleans.
The convention comes at an oppor-
tune time, as the country-though
barely over period of great business
depressiou-is already face to face
with situation in which the rail.
ways are threatened with serious
congestion of traffic If the tide of
prosperity flows on, as there is every
reason to believe it will, there is like
ly to be another freight blockade
such as csused distress and loss to
an enormous extent a years ago.
1t has been made clear that the
railroads are finding it more and
more difficult to handle the vast
quantity of freight which the country
originates. Their equipment, their
terminals and their tracks are insult
fcient for the1barden put upon them.
And the opinion of the best informed
is that ultimate relief can come in
but one way-by development of the
rivers snd putting upon them slow
moving bulk freight, leaving tb.
higher grades to the railroads.
The country has rot been willing
hitherto TO listen to appropriations
for river Improvement, mainly be-
cause expenditures heretofore for
that purpose have been fritted away.
The river and harbor bill has become
known as the "pork barrel.' Things
had reached g pass when the very
mention of an appropriation for river
Improvement suggested ''job.' In
the last two or three years, however,
far-seelng men, realizing the need OF
developing our waterways, have
sought to put the projection sen
sible business plane. It has taken
time and patience, but they bavc
succeeded in getting the ear of tie
country.
The commission which has Just re
turned from alb DAD to study tb,
rivers and canals of Europe wa
greatly impressed with the amount
OF water borne traffic abroad. In the
West some cities are proceeding on
the theory that the proof of the pub
ding is in the eating and are using
the rivers. Kansas Cry, Mo, has
undertaken TO raise a million dollars
to build up-to-date boats for tue
Missouri river to demonstrate that.
with terminals equal in convenience
to those supplied by The railroads
boats lines on the river, even in its
present condition, can hold their own
There has not been a time in Years
when the public was so willing to
lend an ear to any welI-planned
scheme of river Improvement which
promises results The proceedings
at New Orleans will be followed
therefore, with unusual interest and
may have farreaching consequences

New York, June 9.-B. L. Winchell,
president Of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific, who Is sailing for Europe
this week, said in Wall street to-day:
"The farmer is remarkably pros
porous, and is making money, every
year. The conditions have changed
entirely in recent times, and instead
Of selling the grain at the moment Of
harvesting, as was done in the days
when the farmer needed cash, he now
saves his production until there Is a
good market.
"The farmer has now a large store
of savings, and the time is not distant
when he will seek an investment for
these funds. When that occurs, he
will naturally turn to the railway
stocks and bonds and will become a
shareholder in the corporations Of
which he is a patron. 1t will be a
great day for America when the farm
er begins to invest in railway securi-

Washington, June 1.-THE pro

from st. Louis to the gulf received
a blow when the board Of engineers re-
