WATERWAYS
CONVENTION

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 1.-The dele
gates filed into the auditorium OF the
Athenium to-day. prepared for two
days work. They will try 70 catch up
with their program deranged, by the
lateness Of the Presidential fleet in
reaching Ned Orleans Saturday.
Although speeches were hustled and
crowded into the long. busy Saturday
afternoon session, the program is sew
eral laps behind.
One of the important matters eX-
pected before the day is over is the re-
port Of the committee on results.
The delegates are particularly anX-
ious for the report OF this committee,
for If it is adopted as It is now said TO
be ready, definite plan for the deep
ening Of the channel will be put for
ward and q definite estimate Of the
cost of the work will be made.
Although the actual cost OF the va
terway is sl5S,000,000 as the tentative
plan is fixed, by the skilful use OF
figures, the convention hopes TO show
the Congressman present that the ac-
tual outlay Of the government funds
for the work will be only S4s .00o, 600.
Illinois has voted s20.0O0,O00 Of the to-
tai Army engineers estimate that II
viii cost sS0,O00,o0O to save the gov
ernment work already done toward
keeping the river in the channel
This work the President and men,
I bers OF Congress declare was too inn
portant TO lose and so the delegates
say that the s90.00O.oO0 would be voted
without reference to the waterway
scheme. The remainder of the estimat-
ed cost is S4s,000,00O and this they hope
to have voted hy Congress. They will
urge an immediate bond issue for tho
purpose Of improving the waterways

vention to-day.

They were the American standard.

rnirilng arounu IN a persouaI canvass
OF the state. Searching back through
all the years since the adoption.cf the
oresent constitution. the Democratic
candidate himself would be unable to
find a precedent for It. The sentiment,
made and ever maintained by the peo-
pie which holds high judicial ONCE
above such methods, has always been
respected heretofore by those who
have been honored with a nomination.
The Democratic candidate seems to
have a less exalted view Of the place
he seeks, and to think he can promote
his cause by thrusting aside what has
become an unwritten and should be An
inviolable law. The duties Of a Judge
OF the supreme court are Of the most
delicate and responsible character
too delicate and responsible to be ex.
posed to a compromising personal
campaign for votes. The ONCE has
never been pulled down to that level,
and no one has ever before thought he
could pull himself up to the ofhce by
such methods.
The Democratic candidate will not
benefit by those methods now. The
people of Pennsylvania have too high
an appreciation of the pToprieties TO
look with either patience or favor upon
a personal canvass by a candidate for
judge of the supreme court.
