THE report of the Inland Waterway
commission, as IL applies to the Mis-
sissippi river, is, in the main, correct.
There is no question but what there
has been, during the past 20 years. a
steady decrease in through tonnage ON
h Mississippi river. BY through tom
mage is meant tonnage from st. Louis
TO New Orleans and from the tributary
streams ~ the same port. but TO or
set this there Is a condition tina the
Inland Waterway commlssIcl haa
failed to take note Of, which is a very
decided Increase In local and way ton

tically the same proportion that the
through tonnage has decreased.
There are today more en-

Is mostly notable at Memphis, Vichs.

EDWARD EVERETT HALE,
SENATE CHAPLAIN, DEAD

count of his advanced age he had in
recent years become so feeble that he
was unable to rise to greet visitors,
and this fact seemed always TO be a
source of humiliation to him. He
never failed to excuse himself fbr what
he seemed TO regard a 6~iscourtesy.
DR.. Hale became chaplain of the
Senate on the 14th of December, 1903.
He received his appointment through
Senator Bryce. who was at the time
acting as president. The selection was
made at the instance Of Senatcs Hoar,
who had been his life long friend. AS

much in common between them. Dur
ing the greater time of his term of
office DR.. Hale used Frye's committee
room as an Office.
His Customs in Senate.
Accompanied by his private secre-
tary. he would repair TO the senator's
room half an hour before converting OF
the Senate and there remain receiving
friendes until the time for his appear
anc in the senate chamber. He al
ways wore a long clerical robe when
officiating n made the prayer service
of the Senate impressive rather than
perfunctory. 1t was his habit to re-
peat the Lords prayer and for many
years after he assumed his office, he
would ask the senators to join with
him in doing so. on account, however,
Of repeated failures to obtain a re-
Spouse, he at last desisted in his prac-
tice, but he never himself ceased the
repetition of the prayer as a part OF
his own offering.
AS long as he was able to do so,
DIR. Hale made il a practice to visit
the senators at their seats. 1t is not
usual for the Senate 10 take notice OF

WASHINGTON GOSSIP OF |
THE VERY HOUR |
HEADS OF BIG COMMITTEES IN
NEW DEALS ABSORBING
TOPIC AT CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, Jan, 2O--Matters
are fast shaping toward the downfall
Of Representative John J. Jenkins as
chairman of the Judiciary Committee
Of the House, one Of the most inn
portant committee berths in the low
er body oi Congress. II the Wis
consin lawmaker fails Of Feappoint-
ment when Speaker Cannon makes
up his committee assignments for the
Sixty-iiEst Congress, il viii be due
TO his decided views on the question
of government ownership Of public
utilities. Since the opening Of the
present Congress there have been
frequent rumors Of Strong probability
Of Speaker Cannon naming some
other lawyer than Mr., jenkins TO
head the Judiciary Committee These
rumors, now given considerable cred
ence, have broken out afresh follow
ing the introduction by Represents
tive jenkins of a measure providing
for the purchase by the Federal gov
ernment Of the gas and electric light
companies OF Washington, The Jen-
lins measure carries the unmistak-
able label Of government ownership,
and, moreover. it is the kind to incur
the displeasure Of the Speaker and Of
the men who make up the governing
body Of the House.
The jenkins measure is the eul'
mination Of a long and determined
fight by the people OF Washington,
through their District Commission
ers, to, obtain cheaper and better gas
and electric light The price and
quality Of gas sold in the District Of
Columbia have been regulated by
Congress, but the contention Of the
people is that the present price is not
only too high but that the quality
has become so inferior as to endan-
ger life and health. The recent
deaths Of three persons in a single
| family from the fumes OF monixids
gas has served TO make more acute
the local gas situation.
The fact that Mr.. Jenkins has offer
ed his bill in good faith and as
solution Of the local gas troubles !
not likely to appease Speaker Cannon
whose opposition to all such radica
Legislation IS matter Of public re
cord. Nor is this latest offering o
Mr.. jenkins the kind to convince
Uncle Joe Of the wisdom OF agar
naming the Wisconsin man to guild
the Judiciary Committee. The Spea
lker's memory, too, for previous legis
lative offerings may react to Mr.
Jenkins disadvantage He has onll
to consult the proceedings of for
mer Congress to find that Mr.. Jen
ltins introduced bill providing TO
the purchase by the government o
certain valuable coal lands. Thi
was following the great anthracit
coal strike in 1905, when the entir,
country was affected by long-stand
ing dispute between the mine owner
and their workmen. Mention 0
tbs, in connection with the Jenkin
cill to purchase the local lighting
companies, ie made to show that Mr.
jenkins has not discharged his belle
in government ownership as the tru
solution Of problems affecting tn
vital interests of the people.
