One Way to Boost
The Waterways.

The ApaIachicola spirit in regard to
the Florida division of the inland wa
terways is the right and at the same
time the practical spirit. Acting on
the advice of Congressman Mays, the
citizens OF Apalachicola held a meet
ing and drew up memorial
TO Congress calling attention to the
benefits their town and the whole Gulf
coast of Florida would derive from
the waterways, and this will be sent
to Washington in time for the recon
vening of the federal lawmakers on
Jan. T.
This is the best way to impress
upon the mind of Congress as a whole
the demand that given localities make
for the deep channel. Every Gulf
town near enough to the canal across
the Florida peninsula to claim any
definite right to consideration in re-
gard to this valuable commercial
project would do well to follow the
example of ApaIachicoIa. one of the
most ambitious small ports in the
South.
It will take much more Of the rub
bing-in process to make the men in
Washington realize that Florida, in
common with al the Atlantic seaboard
and Gulf states, is extremely in
earnest about this matter and does not
propose to let it drop. The waterway
is coming, but it viii come sooner,

pushings similar to the one at ApaIach-

WARD Is ON THE jon.
senator from Tenth District Seems
to BE Making Good.

The Austin correspondent of the
Houston Post sends his paper the
following concerning the senator
for the tenth district.
Senator Pierce b Ward of John
son county is one of the hardest
working members of the upper
house and the way he has avoided
running amuck has been something
real elegant for new member Sen
atOr Ward was elected on a platform
to oppose all fool laws regardless
OF their source OF origin and up to
this time he has not jumped his
platform a single time. The marked
familiarity he exhibits with refer
ence TO the workings of the various
departments of the state govern
ment was not acquired through any
royal road of learning Twenty y-fiye
years ago he was employed as a
clerk in the comptroller's Office ana
later in the land office. He educated
himself at Granbury college, IN Hood
county, having been left an orphan
while yet boy not in his teens. Al
various times he has been county
attorney of Stephens county district
attorney of the district composed of
BOSque, ftlll ana JoHHsoH touull"S'
and on numerous occasions has been
special district judge of Johnson
county. He has been engaged in gem
eral practice of law in the tenth ju-
dieial district composed of Ellis,
Hila and Johnson counties for a
number OF years. "There is altogeth-
er too much talking is the trlte OBJ
servation Senator Ward has made
about the life of a senator Senator
Ward seldom talks, but when he
does 1t is straight to the point. But
he does perhaps as much work as
any member of the upper body and
he generally works in a manner that
ought to prove profitable TO the
state.
