IMPROVED WATERWAYS.


for improved waterways will be
reached in Washington. D. c.. when
the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress meets December next.
President Taft, who win be the een-
tral figure at this national eonyen-
tion, has made more extensive plans
for a personal inspection of the rivers
and canals of the United States than
any other chief executive in the his
tory of the country. He Is not only
making water trip from st. Louis to
New Orleans to be present at the
Lakes-to-the-Gu Gulf Waterway conyen-
tion, but WILDE in Norfolk, Va, and
deliver an address before the Atlantic
Deep Waterways convention. These
two conventions represent particular
projects for waterway development
and naturally precede the National
Rivers and HarbOrs convention, which
for number of years has been meet
ing in the capital city of the nation.
President Taft will have as his as
soeiates on most extensive program: :
two members of the cabinet, secre-
taty Dickinson, of thewar depart
ment of commerce and labor. both of
whom, by reason of the portfolios
which they hold are intimately asso-
ciated with the waterways of the
country. In addition to these distin-
guished citizens, addresses will be
made by the German ambassador,
Count ]. H. Won Bernstorff; Governor
JudsOn S. Harmon, of Ohio; Governor
Hadley, of Missouri, and editors of
leading newspapers representing the
several sections ofthe country. It's
also expected that in view of the prom
inence of this national convention,
whose one object is to improve the
waterways of the United States, that
the Canadian government will berep-
resented either by Sir wilfred Laurier,
premier, or Earl Gray, the governor
general, efforts with that end in view
being already under way.
The object of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress is to educate
the people to the Importance of the
fact that the national government,
having assumed the control and inn
proyement of the rivers and harbors
of the country, is unequivocally bound
to discharge these obligations prompt
ly and by sound business methods,
that the great natural waterways may
be made to do their share in the
work of transportation.
Interest in the forthcoming eonven-
ton is on-the increase and it is con-
fdently believed in the capitol that
there will be 5000 delegates in at
tendance, Secretary Frank Ellison of
the congress having assurances from
governors of states, mayors of cities
and officials ofcommercial bodies that
the movement for broad ond COM
prehensiye policy of waterway devel-
opment is spreading throughout the
country, due in large partto the cam
paign inaugurated by the National
Rivers and Harbors cengress.-Padu-

Political Meeting of Organiza-
tiOn Enliyened by Pretty Re-
nunciatiOn Scene

Something new in politics was de-
veloped yesterday afternoon at the
annual election OF the Forum club.
when candidates embraced each other
aad each besought the members to
vote for her opponent. but the scheme.
however charming. seems hardly prac-
teal for a universal custom
The ticket had been prepared for
election. but the voters had the right
to scratch. For the treasurers Office
Mrs. f. H Abbotts name appeared on
the printed ticket, but Mrs. John T.
Scott was put forward prominently by
some OF her friends. There had been
question in the first instance as to
which of the two should receive the
nomination. but Mrs. Scott had at first
declined the honor.
The feminine privilege of changing
her mind. even in regard to holding
office. was exercised by Mrs. Scott,
however, and both she and Mrs. Alb
bott were put forward.
Then came the pretty scene of re-
nunciation by both candidates, but
Mrs Abbott renounced most firmly,
and Mrs. Scott became the unanimously
elected treasurer.
Mrs. A. P. Van Duzer. who was to
have been candidate for director,
died last week, and the name of Mrs.
c. W. Coburn was substituted.
The ticket was as follows: Presi-
dent, Mrs. f. NJ. Wright; first vice
president Mrs. ]. W. Hoyt; second vice
president, Mrs. Charles H Mann; third
