them request him to take up the matter
in his annual message.
It Is claimed that the Armours in Chi

MANY NEW FEATURES

Two Important Problems Confronting Waterways Com

A comparatively new feature OF the
big question OF internal waterway I'm

In the near future. in a new section OF
the report on the investigation of water
ways and their traffic. by the Bureau
Of Corporations.
1t will be shown that whenever the
Government sets about 10 improve
waterways. it will have two immensely
important problems to deal with. One,
relating TO channels. is comparatively
familiar. The other. relating TO termi-
nais, is little understood. It will be
handled at much length, and Will be in
some ways startling
While the materials which have been
gathered are guarded carefully. It Is
known that this report will indicate
that an expense Of, say, 800, 100000 FOR

OF nine-fOOt draught over 10000 miles OF
channels, would really be only a begin

Somebody. either the Government OF
the States or the cities. would have
to provide terminals at the cities and
towns; and these will be rhown almost
impossible OF acquisition in many cases

condemn the property would be. If not
impossible, prohibitively expensive.

added Strength to the impression, now
entertained Us frankly inside as outside
the Cabinet, that Judge Horace H. Lur-
ton. of Nashville, is to be named for
the place.
Beyond this, the understanding Is that
the President has a waiting list for Su-
preme Bench appointments long enough.
at least, to I'll all the vacancies that are
likely to arise during his Administra-
ton. indeed. people closez- to the Presf-
dent suspect that he knows exactly
whom he would appoint. and In what
order, if there should be four or five
vacancies.
II IS believed BY many that Attorney
General Wickersham is the SECOND man
on the list. and Lloyd ". Bowers. So
hcitor O. the United States. is generally
placed third.
Quite the reverse or this was the
method President Roosevelt, who. not
being a lwyer. and being especially
anxious about judicial appointments
took much advice about them. The Taft
program is similar TO that Of President
Harrison. who Is regarded as having
made. on the whole, the best judicial Sc
lections of any President in a genera
ton.
He didn't feel that he needed advice,
and he seldom asked II. in this matter
The Harrison judicial selections were as
generally commended as those Of Roose-
welt have been criticised.
