THE DEFINITE POLICY.

When the Aut0cfat OF all Jne
Russias determined on the con-
struction of the Trans-Siberian
Railway he fixed upon a definite
policy of construction and appro-
priated the money with which to
carry it out from inception to
completion. Dissatisfied with the
report of his engineers, the ablest
of France and England, he drew
q straight line between the pro-
posed terminal points and COM
manded that the road should be
built accordingly and set aside
the money for the purpose. 1t
was not so built, but much more
nearly so than was thought pos
sible. The striking feature of the
incident being in the fact that
having determined upon the build
ing of the road a definite policy
was established, the money APP
propriated and the work begun
and the work completed in a time
that has never been equalled IN
the history of railway building.
1t is only the establishment OF
a definite policy that is needed III
the United States to begin and
complete the Improvement of q
system of waterways not equaled
in any country on the globe. The
money is at hand and can be cas-
lily had. The foreign commerce
of the United States is vast. The
latest volume of Statistical Alb
stract of the United States-Vol'
ume 30, 190S-showing that the
total foreign commerce of the
United States, imports and ex
ports, amounted to $3,315,2 72,
SOB also shows the immeasurably
greater value of the trade anC
commerce between the States
The same authority gives the val
ne of the crops for that year a
figures exceeding 81 800, 900, 900
manufactured products, $l4 1902,
1907; the wool crop at $76, 263,
1856; lumber at 1921, Isl 1888; coal
anthracite and bituminous, a
$5l3,O78, 300, with %, 972 400 ton
of pig iron produced with value
not given; The articles cited
taking no note of the number
less other products and industries
show the tremendously create
value of the internal over tn,
\ foreign commerce of the country
Foreign commerce has a high
way at all seasons of the yea
and the development of the in
ternal trade of the country coult
readily be guaged if, like its for
eign competitor, it had contin
nous means of communication be
tween shipper and receiver, witt
the prices to the consumer re
duced from present figures whicl
are largely because of the Gin
adequate means of transportation
causing delays and added cost t,

The Southwest has ever BEEF
an advocate of the improvement
of the inland waterways of tn
country. 1t has ever appreciate
the wonderful wealth and the I'M
limited natural resources of tn
States of that section and the de
plorable lack of transportation ia
cilities with Nature providing tn
highways only to be neglected b!
the federal government. 1t is
however, otherwise to-day. Th'
program of the National River,
and Harbors Congress-"A Policy
not Project"-has gone very fal
toward awakening an enlightened
public sentiment on the subject
aud nowhere Is that sentiment
stronger than in the great South.
West. The demand for inland
waterway improvement is a de-
mand that is imperative and one
which the Congress of the United
States must heed.

Opposed to capital Punishment.

Abolition of capital punishment ia the
District of Columbia and the substitu-
ton of life Imprisonment as the penalty
for murder was the subject of an inter-
esting address by Hon Tracy l. Jetfords
before a subcommittee of the Washing
ton Chamber of commei ce Tuesday
afternoon. Mr. Jeffords was formerly
Unite d States district attorney for the
district. and was invited to address the
committee on the ground that his expert
ence il that ctfice would be valuable. He
presented many statistics to back up his
statements alike with reference to the
objection to capital punishment by death
and by electrocuton III particular. His
deductions were that in States where
capital punishment has been abolished.
there is no increase of crime. trials are
less expensive and convictions more
swift and certain. He designated the
death penalty as a relic of barbarian
ages. which has no place in this. He
thought the tendency both in the Amer.
can States and in Europe is away from
capital punishment bv death and the sub
stitution OF life imprisonment in It's
stead. Our former townsman, Attorney
James w Beller, is a member of the
Chamber of Commerce committee ap.
pointed to report on bill to be sub
mitted to Congress.

Of the Nations.
The only paper money that is accept
ed practically all over the globe is not
money at all. but the notes OF the
Bank Of England These notes are
simply printed in black ink on Irish
linen water lined paper. plain white.
with ragged edges. The reason that a
badly soiled or worn Bank Of England
note is rarely seen is that notes which
in any way find their way back to the
bank are Immediately cancelefl and
new ones are issued. The notes Cf the
Banque de France are made of white
water lined paper printed in black and
white. with numerous NEUROLOGICAL and
allegorical pictures. They are in de-
nominations of from 25 francs to 1000
francs.
Bank Of England notes are OF
somewhat unhandy size-5 by inches.
South American currency resembles
the bills Of the United States, except
that cinnamon brown and slate blue
are the prevailing colors. German cur
rency is printed in green and black,
the notes being in denominations OF
from s to 1000 marks. The 1000 mark
bills are printed on silk fiber paper.
1t takes an expert or native to dis
tinguish a Chinese bill from laundry
ticket If the bill is of low denomina-
ton or firecracker label If for large
amount. the print being in red on
white or yellow on red. with much gilt
and gorgeous devices. Italian notes
are all sizes, shapes and colors. The
smallest bills. and 10 lire, are print
ed on white paper in pink. blue and
carmine inks.
The most striking paper currency in
the world is the 100 ruble note of Rus
STA. which is barred from top to bot
tom with all the colors of the rainbow
blended as when a sun ray passes
through a prism. In the center in bold
relief is finely executed vignette in
black. The remainder of the engrav-
ing on the note is in dark and light
brown ink.
The American practice of scattering
strands of silk through the paper fiber
as a protection against counterfeiting
is unique.-Harper's Weekly.
