The Johnson County Bank now believes in patronizing home institutions more than formerly This concern, like many other big business institutions, has been using printed envelopes furnished by the government, but this week that bank placed with us large order for envelo- pes. This shows the right spiril The envelopes may cost the bank a little more than Uncle Sam would charge for them but the work rightly belongs to home printing offices. as the home offices live from patronage of home people principally, and the money of the home printers is spent with home merchants and through home banks, so money thus spent will come back. Others should follow the exam pie of the Johnson County Bank.-Clarksville Herald.

NOT ENOUGH CAPTAINS.
Navy Department Finds Itself in EN-
barrassing Position.

Washington. Dec. s-As a result Of
the transfer of the former engineering
officers of the navy to the line with
the stipulation that they be assigned
to engineering duty on shore only, the
navy department has found there is an
insufficient number of captains and
commanders to perform all the neces-
sary duties to which officers of these
grades are, by regulation. eligible for
assignment. These transfers were made
by the personnel act of 1899.
Their presence on the list of line Of
ficers is said by Rear Admiral Potter
to be embarrassing. When they reach
the rank of flag officers. Admiral Pot
ter believes the situation will be worse
At present there are q of these Off
GERS, 10 captains and II commanders
Admira, Potter has recommended to
Secretary Meyer that the 27 be made
additional numbers in their grades.
The effect of this proposed legisla-
tion would be to prevent Offic< rs who
are not eligible for sea duty from oc-
cupying the authorized numbers in
tended by congress for those who per-
form sea duty and would give about one
years promotion to the junior COM
manders and lieutenant commanders
and thus bring them into command
rank at an earlier age.

But Tells Waterways Convention
There Is Much Opposition

Washington, Dec. ST am
heartily in favor of waterway i'm
provement, because of Its influence in
the reduction of railroad rates as well
as Its value in actual transportation
of that kind of freight the rivers were
especially adapted to handle"
President Taft thus expressed him
self in an address at the opening
session of the sixth convention of the
national rivers and harbors congress
here today.
Speaking Of the plan Endorsed by
President Roosevelt and himself be-
fore the issue of government bonds
cautioned the delegates to remember
there was great opposition to that
plan in congress and that their wisest
course would be to induce congress
to declare in favor of waterway i'm
provement and to begin the work with
an ordinary appropriation. Once
launched in the enterprise. he said,
congress would be obliged to provide
bonds unless the revenues of the
country should be ample for the work.
ambassador, followed the president
with an address.
Tho Ambassadors Address.
The German ambassadors address
was largely an exhaustive resume of
the development and maintenance of
inland waterways of the German En-
pire under the direction of the minis
ter of public works. The count told
the congress that he could not at
tempt to draw any lessons for the
United States, because of the wide
variance of conditions existing in the
two nations
Count Won Bernstorff sketched the
building of the early canals by the
Prussian princes and took up his sub
ject at the middle of the past century
when the railways of the empire be-
gan to show a considerable develop
ment and the waterways seemed to
lose some of their Importance. But
eventually the condition turned and
in the seventh decade of the last
century. the railways in spite of their
advantages were unable TO meet ali
the demands upon them, especially
for lowering their tariffs for the
transportation of goods carried in
great masses, and the interest for
| water communication was revived.

Plan TO STRIKE

NOT UNTIL JANUARY l
Will Their Demands for Higher
Wages Be Made.
And Then Only ii Ratified by a
Referendum Vote.

New York. Dec. S.-Demands for in
creases in wages formulated for presen-
tation to the railways will call in some
cases for a raise of 100 per cent. Vice
President James Murdock, of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen declared
today. The demands would not be pre-
sented, however. he stated, until after
January l., and only then if ratified by
vote of the employees.
There is no thought of a strike in
connection with demands to be pre-
sented," said Mr. Murdoch. by the
agreements between the organizationass IS
and the roads it is required that 30
days be given the railway managers
for consideration of the wage scale so
that some time must elapSe pe.ore any
question might be raised as TO Whetner
the roads will meet the mems desires.
An important statement bearing on
the attitude of the railroads IN the
matter of increasing wages was made
by W. c. Brown. president of the New
York Central railway.
IF it is true" he said, that. there
has been an increase in the cost or
living since the increases IN ,oce raliway
wages in the latter part of 1906 ana
early in 1907. then the men are Just1ned
in asking for some further increase at
this time. If no such increase in the
cost of living has taken place, then the
men can not expect more pay. Inc
facts remain to be determined.
but it cannot be stated too prompt
Iv or emphatically that any increase
whatsoever in wages no matter how
large or small is impossible without
commensurate increase in railway
rates. There is not railroad IN the
country that can afford to pay ITS en-
ployes more now without getting bet

Washington, Dec. S.-While the i'm
preston prevails among congressman
that there should be Il thorough in

the result of the New York frauds,
there seems to be no disposition to take

at the department of justice during the
day to ascertain the departments at

conversation with Attorney General
Wickersham he heard emphasized the

his message that congress should keep
